How much do you spend on food a week?

[Jonnycoupe]

£65 for me, the missus and the kids (2 & 3).

She's brilliant at cooking good food from scratch.

healthy much?

Yes its semi skimmed milk

I think the main problem is I am not good with food.
I don't count whacking a pizza and chips in the oven as cooking
I am not bothered about making fancy food, but as I have now had a Nissen Fundopulation (a fancy word for an operation to stop constant major heartburn) I want to do more exercise and get my eating in better shape.

 

[G-MAN2004]

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

I think we (4 of us) spend around £34,000 every 5 years.


Did you not notice that it's 'per week'?

My girlfriend wont let me food shop with her as the bill goes from £60-80 to £160-210, what can I say I like quality food.

I pretty much cook everything from scratch, no ready meals and generally I dont buy crisps, sweets or fizzy drinks. I buy fresh ingredients and spend a few hours once a week making up big batches of food and then divide up into portions and freeze. I also make a lot of soup, its great for lunches and generally doesnt cost much to make.

Saves me a fortune at work as some folk I work with never cook and constantly buy ready meals and takeaways, easily spending £5 or more a day on crap food.

I've never actually added up exactly what i spend but its no more than £100 for the month and I eat really nice meals.

 

[mattheman]

45-60 pounds a week one person, just on food shopping, ie no GM foods in my home. and every 2 months £35 buying crates of water.

 

[steve-h]

Usually buy around £30s worth of food...

if im feeling flush however... ham, bacon + steak get added to the list, which makes the bill easily double

 

[meghatronic]

Probably £150-200 a month - including eating out.

Why do people buy water? I don't understand.
If I really need some water on the way home from the pub then I buy a 15p 2litre value bottle

 

[[FnG]magnolia]

$300 per week, so around 130 quid. That's me, wife and little one.

 

[snowdog]

Food @ home: 0, my parents pay for that .
Junkfood, snacks at the pub, etcetc: About 5-10€ per day, on average I'd say 50 ish per week.

 

[adambro47]

£70-90 a week for me the missis and 2 kids, 7 and 3.

 

[_dogma_]

About £20ish a fortnight on me. I don't eat much and the bf's parents still give me food parcels almost everyweek with essentials in it. Will be £30is once every 2 months maybe for loo roll, fabric conditioner, etc.

On the cats and rats probably about £50 a month, sometimes more. They all get fed better than I do!
