...to ask how much you spend on groceries per month?

[glitterglitters]

For me, dh and dd (toddler) I get and spend £150 for groceries. Dh also bulk buys chicken from wholesaler every couple of months at about £15 pm.

When I talk to people about this they think it's stingy, too little, utterly crazy?

I just can't believe everyone in your family is getting a decent amount of fruit and veg - of enough variety - every single day for £150 per month. Post a meal plan, I'd love to learn how!
We spend £600-££650 per month. Two adults, two kids. Included cleaning and alcohol. And what I would call fancy cry it like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries daily

Fancy fruit.. Not cry!

Oly5, perhaps OP has no choice but to spend £150 a month on food, and therefore variety of fruit and veg is not her priority.

I buy the majority of my fruit and veg frozen. Keeps longer, frozen fresh, bigger quantities and gets a good variety. Fruit is mainly for daughter as dh would rather eat loads of veg. A bag of frozen kale is about £1. Frozen diced butternut squash is £1 etc etc. I buy from wholesalers as well so I buy even bigger bags on occasion.

I really don't know how much I spend on food per month I just buy whatever I happen to feel like cooking but asking people to post meal plans so you judge whether they are getting enough fruit and veg is just crass Oly5. We all have different budgets and income, Good for you, you have your fancy fruit everyday but surely you realise that's not the case for everyone

About £120 per month for me, DH and DD (almost 3).

I just can't believe everyone in your family is getting a decent amount of fruit and veg - of enough variety - every single day for £150 per month.

I'm not the OP but apart from this being quite rude, it's also assuming that the OP can afford to spend more?

We spend about £120 per month for a family of three, that's as much as we can really afford at the moment. DD has a little box of raisins, a banana, usually a satsuma a day and then two veg - usually peas and carrots - with her dinner (whether she'll eat them is another matter ). It isn't the ten-a-day recommended now but we do what we can to make sure she gets enough fruit and veg.

*some fruit and veg, not enough, obviously

It's used to be a lot around £1000 a month for 2 adults, 4 kids (2 in nappies), 2 dogs and 2 cats. That included absolutely everything including cleaning stuff, pet food etc..
I swapped to Aldi from Sainsburys online. It's now around £650 again that's pretty much everything. There maybe the odd thing that I can't get but its not much.

£200 per week, 3 adults, 3 cats. Includes alcohol and cleaning stuff.

£650 a month for 2 adults, 3 kids. Including nappies (am counting down the days on those!), cleaning stuff, wine. If no wine probably would be nearer £570.

Around £500 -£550 a month two adults, 3 teens and a large dog. Cook from scratch, Aldi, frozen veg from Iceland, home bargains for loo roll and toiletries and meat from a good local butcher.

If it is me and 2 DD's 2&5 I spent a minimum for £80 per week most of the time it's more like £100+ That includes Washing Liquid every now and then but no cleaning products or toiletries .
I get Sainsbury's delivered twice a week so that I don't waste any and I really don't. I can spend £30/40 a week on fruit and veg alone. I cook from scratch nearly every day.

My nearest Lidl/Aldi is 20+ miles away. My nearest Supermarket is Tesco but that is 10 miles away but the quality of fruit and veg is no way near as good as Sainsburys.

Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries every day – in March? I think that's a little bit obscene actually.

It's perfectly possible to get enough fruit and veg on a budget of £165 a month (plus free bread). I spend a bit more than that (£50pw) but I could spend less if could be arsed to go round the market and Lidl every week. Currently we have homemade multi-veg soup in our fridge, along with lettuce, cucumber, spinach, potatoes, carrots, celery, leeks and mushrooms. Apples, pears, tomatoes and oranges in the fruit bowl, various frozen veg. Onions and garlic. Not to mention tinned and dried stuff.

Between £40-60 per week, for four.

Two DC's, 1 17 and 10.

It is doable if you cut right down on meat, bulk buy cheese, use mostly frozen veg and value/own brand almost everything else. Eggs are a saviour, you can do so much with then, omelette, pancakes (sweet and savoury) yorkshires, cake etc...
My top tip, is always plan ahead for the weeks shopping and buy wine by the box from aldi online £3.50 per cheapest bottle and free delivery.

Blueberries raspberries and strawberries eaten every day here. Two young children here and they adore them, so they have a bowl after brekkie porridge every day.

I suppose with very little ones you get fruit and veg into them however you can. But don't you worry about the environmental impact?

Kat, good point.

I have to be honest, I don't.
I'm an obsessive recycler so not totally devoid of awareness but no, I'm not worried about the environmental impact in this respect.

I'd say about £800/ month, for six teen/ adults plus 8yo
I could/ should cut back, but I find it hard

Family of 5. 3 of which are adults. £450

We spend £200-£230ish a month (including cleaning stuff and toiletries) for me, DP and toddler DD. We meal plan and don't eat a lot of meat which helps keep the cost down.

About 350 for 2 adults and 2 kids, that does include baby milk and nappies, wipes etc which is usually 100 or so gone straight away. I doesn't include all the top up shops though, so probably about 500 altogether.
