What's your weekly food bill?

ldoodle

2 of us between £80-£90 at supermarket per week (all home cooked food) and maybe £20 at JC Rook and Sons for meat, but that usually lasts 2 weeks.

I done £78 on Saturday and ended up with only 4 bags full!

Just me and the missus and we use to spend approx £160 a month but found we were running out of things so we now shop weekly and spend roughly £50 - £60 this includes cat litter and food etc not weekly though !!

Either Sainsbury's or Morrisons, which ever is closest to where we happen to be.

I forgot cat food, which is about £20 a month (for 3 cats though).

i think sometimes peoples problems are being drawn into offers and stuff, as i often find myself going for them when infact i dont need them. I shop at asda, think its very good and gotta be one of the cheapest

kevcampbell

ah, the expensive shops

do you try buying the cheap shops own brand stuff too? for things like kitchen roll and that kind of stuff that is not too important?

Me and my gf do our shopping at the local Asda.

We spent about £80 and that last for a fortnight, sometimes longer, it can vary though as sometimes it'll be £60 and last 2 weeks.

We buy chicken, mince, and frozen foods. Also buy fruits as well like the 2 for £2.

Sometimes we buy extras in the week like a dominos as well as bread and milk from tesco for the clubcard points. I spent around £15 A WEEK on lunch from Tesco as well as other snacks which I shouldn't do! But it soon  gets worked off in the gym

We are students and both have part time jobs so our wages cover most of our stuff.

About £60 per week for two people and a dog from Tesco's/Morrisons and occasionally Lidl's.

Just me and the missus.
shop mostly every day at Budgens for food/dinner (on the way home from work) and then a weekly shop at Sainsburys for all the 'big stuff' like toilet roll etc...
then a BIGGER shop once a month at Makro for (bulk) washing liquid and tea bags, fags etc......
Takeaways or eat out twice a week.


Budgens £20 per day x 4 (mon-thu)Takeaway £25 (fri,sat)Sainsburys £40 per week (Sunday Roast! yum!)(Makro £50 per month, although its more like £200 after all the pointless crap we don't need to buy!!!)Lunch £2 per day x 5
....so THAT's where all my cash goes!?!?....

Takeaways and lunches do seem a bit of a killer, lunches in particular if you don't keep track of what you're spending. My milk intolerance has had the fortunate side-effect of forcing me to avoid takeaways and make my own lunch, although admittedly I'd been heading that way anyway.

Guy I used to work with was always buying takeaways, maybe half the week! I hate to think how much he was spending on them but he was always strapped for cash... maybe that's one reason why.

Went to Tesco today and bought four tins of Heinz soup for £2 - add a few slices of bread and that's four meals for less than £2.50 (spread out over a couple of weeks of course - would make a rather boring week of meals otherwise!). Marks and Spencer were selling tins of Chilli con carne for £1.24 (decent stuff too, not the rank pap chilli you usually get in tins) - half a tin and a bit of rice, that's another two meals for less than £1.50.
