How much do you spend on shopping weekly/monthly?

ok, so I'm trying to prove a point to DH and give him some what of a reality check on how much a food shop a week is or find out if i am over spending.

We are a family of 6. Myself, DH (eats a fucking lot), 2yo DS, 4yo DD, 4 month old baby, 8yo stepson (EW)
I spend roughly £150 a week on food, washing, shampoos, nappies, wipes, everything household based etc and that's without top ups of what we run out of.

I think this is about average? I do want to cut down but I'm not sure how because DH and kids eat like horses. Baby is going to be starting baby food in the next 2 months so its going to go even higher. I also cook DH lunches for work so he doesn't have to buy lunch everyday.

What do you all spend roughly a week/month? And is £150 a week to much, average or not alot for 6 mouths to feed?

About £130 a week. 2 adults, 2 teens, a baby and 2 cats.
£150 a week sounds okay but it depends how much you spend and how often you do top up shops.
Re weaning if you want to use ready made food Aldi is pretty good value.

Averaged out normally between £90-£130 a week (but I don't shop weekly) for dh and me.
