How much do you spend on food a week?

Because our tap water tastes awful. It has so much lime scale that if you leave a glass of water for a few minutes still you can see bits floating around it. It's not really our pipes (they are pretty new) and all houses near me are the same.

Plus, I take bottled water with me to work.

Not to take the thread off in the wrong direction too much, but couldnt you buy a filter? over time A filter would actually be a better purchase.
 
We did our fortnightly shop last night in Asda. £55 which included a new plate set as I was sick of having a mis-matched dinner set :p

We'll still have to pop to the local shop probably 2-3 times for bread and milk but that's pretty much it for the next 2 weeks.
 
From the butchers I take it? Supermarket chicken breasts are just not worth it. Thighs are where it's at - much more nutritious! ;)

Is that just for you or for 2 of you? Another obvious gym rat if it's the former! :D
 
I think its around 250 - 300 a month for shopping, so probably 150-200 on food.

Thats for me, the wife and our 7 month old boy :)
 
M+S organic chicken legs are £5, you get two single packs with two legs in each. Four org. legs for a fiver, not bad. Tastes better than my org. local butcher, too.

I get the chicken from costco, really nice stuff. And yes I'm a gym goer ;)
 
I can't believe how some people get by on £200 a month for more than 1 person! :eek: I'd starve :( Or is it because you get better value when you buy more stuff? I'm happy if I spend under £300 a month on food (just for myself, not including take aways and eating out!). Clearly I need a new less expensive hobby! :D

I think buying once a month and topping up on a weekly basis with the likes of fruit/vet/milk/bread etc works better, going out on a weekly basis leads to the temptation to buy junk you don't really need.

That said neither of us eat breakfast during the week, we also both get lunch out....

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 :p

I usually spend about £25-£35~

Good food is expensive :(

I eat very healthy for ~£30/week. Sometimes I dont even have to go shopping for two weeks, not entirely sure how that happens though - And Im fat. Having said that though, eating healthy on the cheap is helped hugely by being a vegetarian. Usually get a takeaway on a sunday, but besides that its all I get - dont ever need to pop down to the shop half way through the week for anything, besides milk.
