Weekly food budget

How much do you spend on a weekly food shop? It's just me and my partner and our food budget is £80 a week which we often go over. Is this about norm or is our budget low? This does included cleaning products etc. when need. Thanks Smile

There is 3 of us and I do an online shop of about £65 per week.
Some nights food are nice easy freezer crap, pizza chips fish fingers and some are proper meals joints of meat etc.
If you aren't struggling for money, and you are enjoying the food it doesn't matter.

I think my average will be between £70 and £80 per week. It is just me, ds and a cat. Some weeks I will spend £65 but most around £80. It is not just food includes all the others things you can buy in supermarkets.

For just my OH and me, it’s between €50 – €60 per week. That depends on if I’m stocking up on items one week or during the month. That includes food, toiletries, paper goods, laundry soap, etc.

I shop at a combination of places: open fruit & veg market down street, Lidl, regular supermarket, an organic veg and fruit market, a halal store for meat (other than pork) and spices, and another organic supermarket for treats/emotional shopping Grin.

I try to allocate about €40/week for actual groceries then about €20 for bulk buying or restocking during sales. I think for August I’m going to try running down the pantry and freezer more.

We spend £35-50 a week plus I put £10 a month away to bulk buy cleaning products/loo roll from Amazon. That’s for me, DH and 3 teenagers.
