What do you spend per week on food ?
31 Answers
I have just had a conversation with a friend about the cost of food.
She NEVER spends more than £80.00 per week.
I live in Spain and have a good budget for food, so thankfully dont have to worry, plus everyday fruit and vegetables are much cheaper here.
But out of interest I wonder what the UK average would be.
What do others spend I wonder?

I tend to buy cleaning stuff and toiletries from Wilkinsons as and when I need them.

I'm about £120 per week and thats 2 adults and 2 children
Sometimes I only go 2 or 3 times a months and make do with whats in the cupboard/freezer
I stay out in the country so Tesco is what I use for everything. I get all washing powders, toilet rolls, toiletries etc there and I also use it for some clothes and house things, birthday cards, presents etc

Well i do have a slight advantage I guess julie. I work at the Co op and get a massive (!) 10% discount and I also have first dibs on the whoopsied stuff. Think I can say, hand on heart, that pretty much everything in my fridge, freezer and cupboards have an orange label on them, rofl.
I get my toiletries and cleaning stuff which normally only comprises of bleach and spray anti bacterial cleaner from my local Poundshop.
I get free eggs weekly.
Milk and bread I buy from my local asian shop, which is miles cheaper than from a supermarket. I also bulk buy flour and cooking oil from them too, again, works out cheaper.
I've also learnt the art of stretching what i cook too. A chicken (again, usually whoopsied) makes on average 3/4 meals for the 3 of us, and even the carcass gets used as a soup stock.
