To ask what you spend at the supermarket on average each week

[Joysmum]

I'm just wondering what everyone else's costs roughly are, for how many people and whether this includes lunches?

About £35 pw at Waitrose for me and dd (2yo) includes all meals, toiletries etc. We don't eat meat so save a lot of money that way.

I'm in London and it's £120 per week for us two. Includes little treats, well necessities to me as we put and about a lot so not always can take home prepared snacks.

It does include petrol sometimes and always all toiletries, cleaning products, etc. so actual food probably less.

Hmmm, don't really keep track but I would think around £90 a week for two adults and one toddler.

We like meat, and I like to buy free range and organic wherever possible.

It includes packed lunches for DH everyday he works which is on a 4 days on 4 days off basis.

To be fair I don't spend that all at the supermarket either, I use the local shops a lot.

That doesn't include alcohol for DH, (he buys his own) I don't drink alcohol.

2 adults, 3 children

Over £100, that does not include all lunches or dinners as we probably have one of each out of the house. Unless I am feeling very lazy, in which case it may be more

It does include shampoo, washing liquid etc

I also do little top ups during the week but probably no more than £10 on bread and fresh stuff

I do have a very (over) stocked cupboard. Not so much freezer as that's very small

£30-40 (higher atm as we're buying formula for DS2), 2 DS (2yr old and a 4m old) & 2 adults.
Included lunches, neither of us drink, it's gone up as DS1 is eating more.

I batch cook everything we eat (aside from breakfast).

roughly £40-£60 per week for myself, dp and 3 children. we don't drink and buy value for alot of things, not out of necessity though

oh and that includes lunches for me and dp and the baby

£150/week
2 adults, 2 primary school children
Includes husband's packed lunches, all food, toiletries, sundries (batteries, light bulbs, etc.)
I bake from scratch, batch cook and freeze, etc. I find it hard to keep the cost this low.

We eat 99% of our meals at home. We never do takeaways.

I've never added it up but I'm guessing probably around £150 per week. We get a veg box every 2 weeks, so alternate weeks would be £120.

We're forever popping in for this or that though, so in reality I would imagine it's more than that. DH tends to pick stuff up on the way home too.

About £200 a week, 2 adults and 2 teens. Includes packed lunches for everyone, toiletries etc.
We never have takeaways, dh and I eat out about 3 times a month but that isn't included in the £200.

Fruit bill alone is probably over £30 a week.

How are you all doing it? I spent £80-90 per week plu £15 at butchers - 2 adults, 2 kids under 2 though who are both in nappies. No processed food though except for the odd fishcake. I meal plan and don't think I shop excessively - love meat though!

How do you do it on £50?

I'm in London and order online, so I don't think I get affected by where I live tbh.

On average over the whole year around £50.00 weekly for me (+1 at weekends) and three cats. That is food, household and personal care items. I shop at Aldi, Lidl, Budgen, Home Bargains, Supersaver, farm shops, local markets, all meat from butcher, organic milk delivered.

About £110 on our weekly shop and about £10 on a top up shop on either tues or wed so about £120 all in per week.
That's for 2 adults plus a 17, 13, 11, 10 and 9 year old.
We all have packed lunch Monday-Friday

£125 approx.
2 adults , 2 primary school ds's ( who eat like horses)

About £120 a week, 2 adults, 2 children

£130 a week, 2 adults, one toddler. Includes everything

Probably around £100 in tesco, plus £20 in veggie box, and meat is from local butcher so extra. 2 adults and 3 kids (10, 7 and 3). Kids have school lunches but DH and I take food to work for lunch. In London suburbs.

We eat very little processed food - so everything is made from scratch, including bread, although do buy cereal for the kids - I buy value veg / chopped tomatoes / apple juice. We are very careful not to waste food, but could probably cut back on some things if we really wanted to. Would never buy berries out of season but don't mind spending money on organic flour to make healthier bread. often buy stuff on offer.

Its much cheaper now i only have 1 in nappies.But €150 is what i really need to spend.3 adults 1 17 year old who eats more than teh entire household and 3 kids.I do a big shop once a month and buy loo rolls,toilet paper and washing powder.I buy that all on special offer.
Some weeks i still need a top up.

at the moment for DH, me & dd (13)

£70 a week in Aldi (converted by MN!) includes 90% of toiletries & household stuff

We usually eat out one night most weeks, dd has school lunches but DH & I take a packed lunch

When DS (19) is home I spend a lot more!

For myself,DP,DS & DD I spend between £50 & £70 per week.

I don't usually do top ups, ( except milk) when it's gone it's gone until the next shop is delivered.
