Singletons' Food Budgets

[budgetbabey]

Hi. I keep seeing posts on various social media platforms about single people spending very low amounts on weekly food shops.

I am single, have limited freezer space am pescetarian. I can spend £90 a week on food including things I may need such as all toiletries, kitchen roll, toilet roll, tin foil, washing powder, washing up liquid etc.

I eat fish at least three times a week and freeze it, other meals will include one good quality convenience meal, stir frys, vegetarian pasta. I buy berries to put on cereal and buy budget packs of chocolate bars and crisps. I take advantage of supermarket offers.

If you are single how much do you spend a week on food and toiletries? Just wondering if I'm not the only one that is finding it hard to budget

I spend£80-90 for 2 including a Gousto box.

I spend similar OP but I don't buy cleaning products , toiletries every week . This cost does include quality welfare meat for myself and 2 small dogs though and we eat salmon steaks weekly aswell . I cook from scratch with fresh veg and like you I buy blueberries and strawberries for my breakfast yoghurt or porridge . I also chuck in a few treaty bits .

I’m on my own and spend around £60 a week including toiletries etc. I eat mostly non upf, cook mostly from scratch apart from pizza base one night. I have a lot of frozen berries and meat or fish 5 out of 7 days and lentil of some sort on other 2. I also take packed lunches out of this too. I think I eat well.
