Single person households - how much do you spend on food?

[Dynamo101]

I’m reevaluating my budget and would appreciate your help.

If you live alone and budget only for yourself, roughly how much do you spend on the following each month?

• Supermarket shopping (food, laundry detergent, pet food etc)

• Petrol / transport

• treats ( clothes, takeaways etc)

I don’t need to know what you earn, but would be especially interested in answers from roughly average earners.

Thanks!

Food about £150

Petrol £250 ( I'm a delivery driver though so high)

Clothes/treats takeaways / nights out. £200

Food about £30-40 a week.
Treats about £50.
Petrol nothing as u use a fuel card. I do play extra tax for it though.

Food and household stuff (including cat food) about £150 p/m
Petrol about £40 (wfh most days)
£100 for going out, mostly it’s brunches and coffee

Food shop (includes meat for dogs) £60 per week
Petrol £40 per week (I'm a self employed carer doing home calls)
Treats £0

Food:
£160

Dog food (inc treats):
£40

Transports
£100 in TFL and at least £100 in Uber 💀

Treats
🥲 A lot. I'm not really into take-aways but its going to be a glass of wine in the pub, a jumper for my dog, a lot of coffee shops, and I mean a LOT, the odd posh hand cream, some lipstick, nail salon treatment etc...

I buy loads of M&S and sainsburys ready meals.
Add veg to them a lot.
I don't drive.. l use ubers.
So I'd say per month ( every four weeks).
Food/ supermarket including toiletries / cat food etc.
£400.
Ubers to town/ appointments
£240
Clothes / days out/ miselenous £200

food - too much! It really varies, some weeks I spend £40 if it’s literally just a food shop and no toiletries or cleaning products etc and I’m going to use stuff from the freezer and other weeks it’s a lot more. I spent about £150 between 2 shops at weekend as I did a stock up on things like beer and toilet rolls and needed some toiletries, batteries and a tub of vitamins which are all £££
petrol - negligible unless I’m going away because I don’t use the car for work. A tank of petrol can last me weeks if not months. Bus is £2 to work but I wfh 2 days a week and walk as much as possible. So maybe £10 a week.
don’t eat takeaways but I probably have brunch or lunch out or coffee / bacon roll or cake type cafe meal once every weekend
clothes I buy as needed so most months £0, in the last 6’months i think I’ve only bought a pair of jeans and a dress totalling about £55 and I only bought the dress because I needed it for a party. My running trainers average about £30 a month though!

Food and petrol i budget for £200 each a month. Doesn't necessarily mean that's what I will spend but I'd rather budget for more than I need. I dont have a budget for treats, what's left at the end of the month goes into a savings account and i would use this if needed

Thanks all, keep ‘em coming, this is really helping me!

Food roughly £70 a week, cat and i
petrol zero
treats varies prob about £60 monthly

Food - between £40-£60 per week
Petrol - £60 per month approx
Treats - £20 a week
I rarely have takeaway so I'm not counting that.
Haircut every three months -£50

Supermarket type shopping: between £120 and £180 a month depending on what I'm buying/what my budget is
Transport: £100 month (no car, I walk or take the bus and occasionally the train)
Treats: Anything from £10 to £75

Food around £50 a week so £200 a month.

Fuel £60 a month (small car!)

Treats not sure really maybe £20 a month.

Clothes and other bits depends on what I need.

I probably spend up to £60 a month on meals out or meeting friends for coffee.
