How much is your food bill?

[heartbroken22]

Family of 3 2 adults dc1 dc 4 dc 7....spend roughly 100 per week on main shop (groceries, cleaning products etc) and maybe a top up shop of 20. Have to do dc7 packed lunches too. It's not enough for us. How much is yours? We have nappies in that too and laundry powder etc

2 adults, 3 kids - about £150 p/w

£150 per week, 3 adults 2 DC1 3 and DC2 1 month old

£90-120 per week depending on toiletries/cleaning needs. This includes formula and nappies.

2 adults, 2dc (5 & 6 weeks)

1 adult and 1 teenage boy, about £70 per week. Includes everything (toiletries, alcohol, hamster bedding and food) 16yo DS eats more than me to be honest.

@heartbroken22 so 5 total? That seems really good!

We're 3 - 2 adults and 1 child, but I'm drowning in all life admin so there's lots of pre-chopped/prepared stuff and snacks. I think we average £180-200 a week. This does include protein bars/shakes.

£80-£100 a month.

I do a big online shop for approx £200 once a month ( on payday!) And we spend about £100 per week the other weeks. So probably £500 per month/ £125 per week 2 adults , 4 dcs (young)

Forgot to say Tesco mainly, sometimes Lidl.

£120ish per week for 4 (2 kids). More if you count the dog’s food!

60 quid a week, 2 adults and a dog……includes cleaning stuff and toiletries….combination of Aldi, home bargain and Morrisons ( all within walking distance of home so tend to pick up bits as the week goes along)

2 adults and 2 teen DSs - probably about 250 per week. 150 in Tesco then 60/70 at butchers and a 20/30 top up shop. Does include all toiletries and cleaning stuff but not pet food.

You must earn well…because I don’t know anyone who could spend that per week

To those saying £60 a week for 2 adults for absolutely everything, please be so kind as to post 2 or 3 weeks shopping lists.

2 adults 2 children. £90 per week.

£150 ish a week
me, DH, ds17, dd15, ds10 plus 1 cat
We all have packed lunches out of this too, but sometimes need extra veg / fruit/ milk / bread maybe extra £10

2 adults, 2 preschool age kids, about £800-900 a month for all food (3 meals and snacks every day) and household stuff, some booze and nappies/wipes for one child

2 adults 2 children

It had crept up to about £160 per week at Waitrose and as the quality was decreasing and what I could get for my money was getting less and less, I decided to try elsewhere.

I’ve now got it down to about £110-120 and I’m happy with that. I get the meat from the butcher and the other stuff from Sainsbury’s or Lidl.

80 pound minimum. 1 adult. Don't drink.

2 adults, 2 teens

About £200 a week... rarely less, often more. I'm trying to keep track as we were getting out of control.

Both DC take packed lunch to school and dh WFH ..

2 adults,about 200.00 a week in the supermarket per week that in cludes cigarettes. 50.00 a month wine subscription 50.00 a month meat hamper and 50 a month toiletries

I spent £320 at Lidl this weekend. I had 10% off so did the big shop. It should last us for about 3 weeks with only small top ups for bread and fruit. That also included all the stocking fillers for Xmas. All the meat and fish has been frozen.

3 adults and 3 teenagers.

(Just to clarify, after the 10% discount it came to £290)

2 adults, 2 kids (1 who eats essentially adult portions), I spend £120-130 a week at aldi, including toiletries, cleaning stuff and dog food, no top up shop needed

Both kids have school dinners so no weekday lunches though

2 adults, 3 young children and 2 cats, all food, nappies, cleaning products, booze and cat food £125 every 5-6 days so just under a week. Works out at about 700 a month

2 adults, 2 kids
About £35 a week

I am an olio food waste hero so that is largely why
