That's not just food though, that's all groceries (home cleaning products, soaps, toiletries etc). It's 3 meals per day too for 4 people, breakfast, lunches and dinners and avoiding any processed foods (so buying raw ingredients to make meals with).
Yup, I get that, but even so, cleaning products and soaps aren't exactly that expensive and aren't an every week shop - a huge bottle of fairy is £2-3 and will last a month, likewise with bathroom spray, toothpaste etc. probably totals £10-20/month if that!
For 2 adults, and 2 kids (2 and 10) we get a weekly Morrisons shop which is £50-60 (including all toiletries etc.), and top that up every couple of days with fresh stuff like bread/milk/fruit, so probably totals £70-80/week. Can be a bit more when we run out of bulk stuff like rice, but then a 10kg bag lasts a few months. Also includes stuff to make 2 packed lunches (for my partner and the 10 year old)
Like you, that's (mostly) fresh ingredients, although with a couple of quick & easy things in there like frozen pizzas and chicken kievs to chuck in the oven for when we don't have time to cook; e.g. if the kids have clubs in the evening.
