How much fruit & veg do you buy per week?

Punnet of grapes
Bag of tangerines
Bag of apples
Possibly strawberries/a melon/pineapple

3 x cucumber
Lettuce
2 x red pepper

Carrots
Frozen broccoli
Frozen green beans
Frozen peas
Tinned sweetcorn
Maybe a packet of sugar snap/baby corn

DD eats fruit and veg but DS only eats veg. I luckily in that my work provides a weekly fruit basket so I get berries etc in work to go in my yoghurt and granola

Per week on average I'd say we get through (and replace)

2 punnets of strawberries
1-2 punnets of either raspberries, blueberries, blackberries or grapes (not all)
6 green apples
6 red apples
Bunch of bananas

Then for veg I'd say weekly:
2-3 peppers
3-4 onions
Broccoli head
1-2 bags of carrots (for both us and the dog)

Frozen stuff which we replace fortnightly or monthly:
Peas
Green beans
Sliced carrots
Leeks

We have a toddler which is where most of the fruit goes.

I think we are really lucky in the UK to have access to cheap fruit and veg - I have relatives in France and a cauliflower costs £5! So I feel your plain.

We are in France for much of the year. We buy fresh organic veg from a farmer in our village - a week's supply costs €15 - €20. Yes cauliflowers are expensive in supermarkets, but it's easier to buy other in season produce or buy locally grown food cheaply. Plus it tastes so much better than a tragic looking strawberry grown out of season and flown thousands of miles so we can buy cheap in the UK.

Out of season soft fruit is the budget killer. This time of year we pretty much only have apples and oranges.

Most of our shop is fruit and veg. I don't buy any exotic fruit or berries unless frozen or tinned. Lots of apples! And whatever veg is on offer.

Just looked at last week’s receipt. I bought Onions, 2 courgettes, green beans, whole kale, chillies, salad leaves, tomatoes, garlic, fresh herbs, 2 avocados, a cabbage, 2 red peppers, 2 bag of frozen peas, an aubergine, leek, potatoes, sugar snap peas, carrots, celery, a packet of beetroot, 6 bananas, bag of clementines.
Got some onions and cabbage left but that’s it.
Family of 3 adults/older kids. I love vegetables but if I buy more fruit it doesn’t get eaten ( until berries come in season)

Tub of Blueberries

Strawberries or raspberries or grapes or bananas (only one & usually rotate weekly)

Satsumas or mandarins if available but usually only those awful easy pealers are available.

1 large onion
1 bulb of garlic
2 peppers
Mushrooms
Sweetcorn/Mangetout
2/3 potatoes

Two of us. We buy and eat a lot of fruit and veg but mainly (not not always) stick to seasonal veg or tinned/frozen.

so this week i bought:

6 satumas
12 apples
bag of cherry tomatoes
head of broccoli
pack of tenderstem broccoli
lettuce
cucumber
celery
green beans
sugar snap peas
two peppers
spring onions
2 brown onions
head of garlic
frozen peas
2 tins of tomatoes
1 tin of chickpeas
jar of olives
2 courgettes
1 aubergine
small bag of carrots

I think we are really lucky in the UK to have access to cheap fruit and veg - I have relatives in France and a cauliflower costs £5! So I feel your plain.

I buy frozen berries (Aldi) they are excellent value and there is no waste. We eat them like sweets while they are still frozen, obviously you can cook them up to make a compote too.

Frozen spinach/peas also really good and last ages.

I tend to go for the cheaper veg e.g. at the moment Brussels sprouts, carrots, celery, broccoli - luckily we like all those.

We buy a fair amount. Also abroad. Approx €140+ a week I would say now on shop for 2 adults and 1 3 year old.

Ds has to take a snack box with raw veg and fruit every day to nursery so I try and give him a variety. Mixture of cheaper and what’s on offer. This week he’s had cucumber and yellow pepper, apple, banana and blackberries.

The frozen mixed berries we always have in stock for having hot on homemade waffle or pancakes at weekend. In summer we picked lots of strawberries at local pick your own which was good value, I cut and froze loads for the autumn/ winter.

At estimate I would say €30-40 ish from our €140 weekly spend is fruit and veg. Depending on whether we already have longer lasting things like potatoes and onions.

Carrots are the only cheap veg here I think. A 1kg is less than 1 cucumber. Unfortunately Ds won’t eat raw carrots yet ( but will cooked). Frozen green beans and peas I also use a lot

We are a family of 2 adults and 3 teens. We don’t eat that much processed food, and I feel that most of my shop is fruit and veg, unprocessed meet or basic store cupboard ingredients. However, our shopping bill is really high.

This week I bought:

Red onions
Brown onions
Sugar snap peas
Leeks
Two bags of tenderstem broccoli
Another kilo of normal broccoli
A cauliflower
Garlic
Baking potatoes
Baby potatoes
Carrots
Two packs of fine, green beans
Spring greens
Bag of spinach
Bag of rocket
Cos lettuce
Bag of herb salad
Pot of basil
Strawberries
Blueberries
Raspberries
Bananas
Two dozen apples
Cherries
Satsumas
Mango
Melon
Frozen butternut squash
Frozen peas
Frozen smoothie mix
Frozen Mediterranean vegetable mix
Tinned tomatoes
Dried mango
Mixed nuts
Dried cherries

It will all be gone by the end of the week, and I’ll probably have to do a top up shop two days before the next job is due!

In my big shop typical order would include

1 x bunch banana
6 apples
bag of easy peelers
punnet of grapes
punnet of strawberries
punnet of pineapple chunks
punnet of blueberries

then veg wise depending on the meal plan but something like a broccoli, green beans, red and white onions, potatoes, carrots and a bag of kale/spinach. I also keep a stock of frozen peas, sweet corn and mixed veg.

Throughout the week I end up buying 2 more bunches of bananas and at least 2 more punnets of berries.

We are a family of 4, 2 kids are 10 and a toddler. We rarely eat out and all take packed lunches/breakfasts with us.

We use frozen veg a lot of the time and tinned stuff

And seasonal veg as that tends to be cheaper

And cheap - lots of cabbage and carrots and more carrots and cabbage - lots of coleslaw

I buy a bunch of bananas, 6 apples, a melon, broccoli and carrots each week.
luckily I have an allotment so we have onions and a freezer full of runner beans and peas from the summer. In the summer/autumn I don’t have to buy any fruit or veg.

Fruit is insanely expensive.

I spend £200 a week on a food shop (just me). About half of that is fruit and veg. BUT I like ‘nice fruit.’ I haven’t had to cut back simply because I prioritise my diet above all else - I don’t eat meals out, have fast food, buy lots of new clothes etc. if I did those things I’d have had to cut back.

I get frozen fruit for smoothies (huge packs of frozen mixed berries rather than frozen smoothie mixes) and mix with a banana and some milk. Sometimes add oats. That’s relatively cheap. Usually makes 5-6 smoothies. Or I do banana pancakes with topped banana and yoghurt. Again, quite cheap.

On weeks I can’t get the fruit I want I’ll do things like chilli con carne with cauliflower rice etc, to bulk out my veg I take instead. Or sausage casserole bulked out with lots of peppers and onions etc
