How much do you spend on food a week?

[OpenToSuggestions]

I did a year at uni, changed course, did 2 years and now I am on placement.

For my final year I have got back into halls, which are self catered.

When I lived in a house for a year, I was spending £40 at Tesco a week plus 1-2 takeaways on top of that, as I was actually working at Tesco 3 shifts a week (that £40 included 10% discount).

Obviously, I was blowing rather a lot on food, fizzy drinks etc, but I had £££.

Just wondering what the average person spends on their weekly shop, including everything (not just food).
I intend to be more sensible this time around. Thanks

I'm at uni and did a shop for "healthy" food the other week, came to £55 but that included an £8 steak and a bottle of vodka

I usually spend about £25-£35~

Good food is expensive

Weekly we spend about around £50 - £60 on shopping for two of us and the dog.

We budget about £50 a week, sometimes we go over, sometimes were under it.

That's for me, miss's, 2 kittens and 2 guinea pigs

About £60ish a week, 3 of us (students).

£50 ish a week depending on how flush we are. No alcohol in that budget as neither of us drink.
When we first got our own place 7 years ago we'd spend £25 a week and didnt seem to go without. Not sure what that says about us now

Living on my own and i spend approx £25 week.

14x £1 ready meals, cheese, ham, pop, crisps, bread, butter, milk, cereal.

about £45 pw. but that includes cat food & cat lit, so probably more like £35 pw just for "human" foodstuffs.

 

[DoubleCheese]

less than £50/week for two inc 2 cats.

At the moment in a flat with 3 mates I will spend about 35-40 quid every fortnight on food. Add about a tenner a week on top of that for milk, eggs, bread, bacon (the essentials ) + the odd takeaway.

All in all I spend about 30 quid a week or there or there abouts, not too bad really. However this may go up in the future as the last lot of cheap mince I got didn't agree with me

 

[Glaucus]

£212.23 for the last 4 weeks for me. But then I don't usually buy the cheapest stuff and including two takeaways.

 

[GingerNinja1989]

About £20 between 2 students. Yup, we're scrawny!

 

[Garyj881]

£70-£80 a week excluding toiletries etc.

2.5 people.

[schnipps]

2 people inc takeaways/toiletries (takeaways bout once a week) but not booze likely 60-70 a week

 

[jcb33]

Around £15 - £25 a week depending on how I feel, if I am in a cooking mood then I buy lots of fresh stuff, if not its value mince etc.

[Amp34]

Around £40-50 for just me when I was at uni. Not basics stuff but not generally super expensive.

The more fresh/healthy food you buy the more expensive.

 

[Strife212]

40 pounds a week for me

£60-80 between two of us.
