How much fruit & veg do you buy per week?

We don’t eat frozen berries raw. I warm
them and add like a hot berry compot to waffles, pancakes or Greek yogurt.

My 3 year old will happily eat waffles with Greek yogurt and hot berries. Even though he’s fussy for most things

This week so far we’ve got through 4 punnets of strawberries, 1 of raspberries, 1 of blueberries, 4 bananas and 4 apples and 4 kiwi fruit, veg we have only got through 2 bags baby potatoes, 1 cucumber, 1 spring onion, 1 red onion, 2 peppers (this is all since Monday morning), I’ll end up buying more fruit tomorrow - I’ve got 4 kids age 3-12 and the amount they eat is crazy!

There are 6 of us (4 Dc under 10) and they eat a lot of fruit & veg.
From the supermarket:
2 melons
18-20 apples
Banana’s
3 punnets of grapes
Oranges
seasonal fruit
3kgs of carrots
Celery
Tomatoes
4 cucumbers
Green beans
Lettuce
Beetroot
squash
Frozen blueberries, peas, sweetcorn & beans.
I get our greens from the farm down the road (we live in Brassica country) kale, Broccoli, cabbage & Cauliflower or whatever is available. We get potatoes by the sackful every 2 months.

It’s a huge part of the shop, we cook a lot and they take fruit snacks to school. Tomatoes we have cut back on as they are expensive, we grow our own in the summer.

In the summer I grow a lot of my own fruit and vegetables. I have about 30 raspberry canes, strawberry plants, chery tomatoes, tomatoes, runner beans, lettuce and herbs. We also have 2 cooking apple trees and a plum tree.

I buy a mixed bag of frozen raspberries, blueberries and blackcurrant and put it in smoothies. It has the same vitamins as fresh but obviously fresh tastes as bit nicer.

Family of 5, about £80 on fruit and veg alone. We do eat loads

Apples, grapes, tangerines, pears, raspberries and blueberries as well as banannas are added to our shop every week. In terms of vegetables it does differ depend on what I am cooking but I get at least a bag of potatoes a week and salad items such as cucumber, lettuce, radishes, tomatoes and carrots. I would add either spinach or kale and always buy peppers. This week I will pick up a cauliflower and every other week I get onions. The week after I will get some okra. Two of mine take a packed lunch so take fruit and we have at least 3 nights a week that are vegetarian meals. I bulk buy lentils and chickpeas.

That's a lot of bananas for 2 people!

I low carb so need a lot of veg for that as can't eat bread/pasta/lentils etc. I work near a supermarket so pick up lots of yellow stickered bargains on my way home.

I'm also time poor so particularly love the pre-packed bags of veg I can heat in the microwave. They're expensive full price but work out well at 70% off and the 3 for 2 offers work on the reduced items as well, so even better.

In my fridge at the moment

• 3 packs of pre-packed green beans, baby corn and carrots
• 2 packs of asparagus and tenderstem broccoli
• 2 bags of sweet gem lettuce
• 2 packs of vine tomatoes
• 1 pack of spring onions
• 1 bag of avocados
• 1 bag of cauliflower florets
• 1 cucumber
• 1 bag of courgettes
• 1 pack of raspberries
• 1 bag of spinach

It will gone by the end of the week.

2 adults here.
21 bananas a week
14 apples
2 punnets blueberries
30 satsumas
Strawberries/raspberries when in season...probably 3 punnets of each a week

Masses of veg
At least 12 peppers
4 bags cherry tomatoes
Salad leaves/ cucumber
4 Avocados
Red onions
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Green beans
Pak choi
Carrots
Spinach
Courgettes
2 punnets Mushrooms

Sometimes I buy more, sometimes less. Today I bought:

2 mangoes
1 pineapple
1 melon
8 bananas
2 bags satsumas
5 avocados
1 bag leafy greens
1 bag of salad
1 broccoli
1 bag of peppers
1 bag green beans
1 cucumber
1 pack of mushrooms
1 lot of grapes
1 family pack tomatoes
1 pack sweet potato
1 bag of carrots
1 punnet blueberries

ETA 1 pack red onions

All this, plus the rest of my shop (which included half a side of salmon, a chicken and 2 packs of 5% fat beef mince) came to 101 quid.

We buy quite a bit, but mostly cheaper fruit: bananas, apples, pears. At this time of year lots of satsumas. Only ever buy fresh berries in summer/early autumn. And grow strawberries in my garden.

As is common in my current country of residence, lots of workplaces here get fruit deliveries, so I usually get at least one free piece of fruit a day at work too.

Just been to local outdoor Market.. plenty of fruit and veg stalls.. so cheap.. half price of supermarkets..
I bought loads..

I buy a bunch of 6 bananas, 2 bags of 6 apples one red and one green, punnet of grapes, a yellow melon, punnet of raspberries, sometimes punnet of strawberries but just for smoothies as fresh strawberries don't taste nice until end of June/early July. I often buy either 4 oranges or satsumas but they are hard to get them now, or easy peelers if nothing else is available. We also have frozen blueberries, blackcurrants and a raspberry mix for smoothies. We are 2 adults and one teen boy, who eats most of the fruit. DH often has to pick up more bananas and grapes. It is expensive but I don't buy crisps, quavers or chocolate biscuits of any kind. No cereal either because we have fruit and yoghurt for breakfast. I buy a lot of fresh vegetables too. Every week a cauliflower, large bag of carrots, a swede, onions, most weeks some leaks and frozen petit pois. A bag of rocket leaves, a bag of lettuce, carrot battens, cherry tomatoes, tomatoes on the vine and sometimes the yellow tomatoes on vine too. DH makes fresh vegetable soup for us. We like fresh orange bits too with bits. I only buy one bottle a week but it's gone after day 3-4.

@PontiacFirebird - I hate mussy apples. But the last two years we have been able to get really good local apples. They must be in storage also but it says on Google they are picked October, and ready to eat December to March. They are a crunchy slightly tart apple which I like.
They translate to ‘crown prince’ apples if you can find in uk

OP is veg expensive where you live, it’s pretty cheap here and eating more veg than fruit makes getting your five a day more affordable?

I also agree with you, I find food in general very, very, VERY cheap in the UK. And there's always offers and specials on stuff. That doesn't exist in my home country.

600 g (3 packets) each of blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries.

Bunch of bananas.

7 apples

12 easy peelers

kiwis

a couple of avocados

3 bags of salad leaves/rocket

2 packs of tomatoes

parsnips

beetroot

cucumber

6 peppers

2 big packs of mushrooms

3 courgettes

Sprouts

water and honey melon

I love fruit and veg.

All those buying apples now-aren’t they sort of mushy at this time of year? I only really buy them in Autumn.
I got upset last couple of years when it was so hard to find British apples in the supermarket right in the middle of the season- God knows why they import apples from New Zealand to the UK, which grows the nicest apples!
I’m learning that other people buy tons of fruit which we really don’t.

Nutritionally, they are as good, but they tend to go mushy. They're great mixed into porridge, baking or smoothies buy I wouldn't just eat them.

I do a fortnightly shop with top ups but usually buy:
6 peppers,
2 aubergines
3-4 courgettes
Bag of onions
Bag of sweet potato
2 x packs of mushroom
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Green beans
Either spinach or Kale
Cherry toms
Cucumber
Melon
Grapes
Strawberries

I usually pick up another pack of tomatoes, more fruit and maybe a bag of salad during the week depending on what we're having.

I buy at least 4 punnets of strawberries( can easily do one a day) , 3 of Raspberries, blueberries and grapes. 6 pink apples and 6 green and some easy peelers. Sometimes a melon.
6 peppers, 4 courgettes, large bag of carrots, 2x bag baby corn, 2x bag green beans, tenderstem broccoli, standard brocoli, asparagus. Large bag of potatoes and a cauliflower, 2 bags of salad and one of baby spinach. Vine tomatoes and a cucumber.

Buying pre prepared fruit is also a killer, you can buy a whole pineapple for around £2 in Lidl but if you buy it pre prepared it’s around £3 for what’s probably less than 1/4 of a pineapple, same with melon and mango. Trouble is if I buy the cheaper option it often sits in the fruit bowl until it’s no good because I’m too lazy to chop it up. Dd loves melon and I probably pop into Lidl a couple times a week to buy it pre prepared.

I don’t think vegetable's are expensive, out of season fruit/berries are which is why we grow them (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, black currents) and freeze them to last all year.

Dd will happily eat a whole cucumber a day if I let her 😬

carrots, onions, potatoes, cabbage and cauliflower are very reasonably priced (would cost me more to grow them).
