It's around £100/week for two.

2 of us, average around 125-150 a week. Much more if you include going out for lunches/dinner.

I can probably get away with spending £20 a week on food. It does vary a lot as I stock up on things on special or reduced meat going out of date that I chuck in the freezer.

Right now I have a kilo of mince, kilo of chicken, some squid and a large piece of beef for roasting in the freezer so I don't expect to spend that much this week

Out of interest for anyone that has kids, do you know how much extra cost on average you would spend for food?

Realistically not very much at all, certainly not as much as an extra 50%. I would say it adds around £10 a week extra onto our food bill and he really likes his food.

On a non meat buying week we now spend about £30-£40. When buying meat its usually £60-£70, but we buy enough for a while.

We grow roughly two thirds of our vegetables.

around a £100 for the 2 of us, 50 on the weekly shop, and during the week takeaway now and again, wknd brings the most income to the local take aways

i love to cook dont get me wrong, but sometimes greasy kebab cant be beaten
