What is your weekly food bill?

[LadybirdFoxySpots]

We're moving back to the uk, and I'm curious what you pay for the weekly food bill for a family of 4 in the uk? Due to allergies, we prepare lunches at home (not for the children during term time), almost always eat at home and eat predominantly freshly cooked food, ie no ready meals.

Around £400/month 2 adults a 3yr old and 2yr old. Not including 2 x breakfast, lunch & snacks for both kids.

Not including much booze, apart from the odd crate of cider a year.

Thank you everyone, that's been really helpful!

2 adults
1 child

Between £45 & £65 depending on what we have in.

All breakfasts & dinners at home, husband and child have dinners at work/nursery four times a week. No alcohol, cleaning & laundry products bought separately.

A lot unfortunately and it's gone up a lot in the past 2-3 years due to inflation. I would say £5 per meal per person on average maybe a bit more. I don't eat any processed foods so it can drive the price up a bit. you can do it a lot cheaper though but depends what you want to optimise for.

Family of four...two adults, two teens.... between £180-250 a week depending on what we need or have already. This includes all lunches as DH WFH and both kids take packed lunch to school

Two adults and two children in the north west of the UK £160 a week no alcohol or washing powder

2 adults, 2 teens. No pets. All meals including packed lunches for school and meals for DH when on shift. Mostly cook from scratch, including soups.

Weekly shop of £150-£175.

About £120/£130 for 2 adults and a teenager.

£100-£125 a week plus a top up of £10-£20 a week

2 x Adults and 2 x Children (primary school), no alcohol, no pets, eat out once a week, some meals meat free - £100.00-£115.00 per week (excluding the meal out).

About £70 cat and I, lots of fruit, could be lowered

Normal week is £100 pw, if splashing out (couple of bottles of wine, soft fruit rather than just apples and bananas, posh ice cream etc) then £150.

£80 to £100 a week 2 adults 1x9 year old.1 baby.

No nappies ( we use reusables) and bf

On mat leave so can shop about. Tend to do 1x ocado big shop a month
1 x iceland freezer haul shop a month then the rest at lidl, home bargains , pound land.

No alcohol, but do have meat every night and take packed lunches / eat at home.

Me, one teenage girl and one cat. 60-100 a week, but that includes cat stuff like food, her litter etc and also other groceries like cleaning stuff.

We eat mostly vegetarian. The cat doesn't, obviously. I cook a couple of times a week from scratch. I look for deals and buy a lot of veggies frozen to save waste. Fresh food: only buy what I need, not bagged stuff. No alcohol, rarely any pop.

Two adults, two children and a cat. Our weekly groceries bill (which includes things like cleaning products, shampoo, shower gel, toilet paper etc) is around £160. We also d top up shops. I think we're spending just over £200 per week. This sounds a lot to me! We do eat really nice food though and I often cook separate meals for the fussy children.

About £120 per week when both kids are home from uni. Otherwise it's about £60-80 for the two of us.

We go between 180-200 a week for main shop, with a 30ish top up, but that's four 5 of us, with the roundest being 15.

That covers most food and includes toilet/kitchen roll, but not any cleaning supplies, toiletries or pet stuff. We do tend to go out to eat once a week too, so one less evening meal.

I buy a 20kg of potatoes- meat & veg, for the week... snacks. Fruit. Breads. Etc etc
£70 a week

Family of 2 adults, 2 children (9&11)

£250 including Prosecco,

Two adults, eat well, Ocado and a top up elsewhere (items too expensive at Ocado / fruit and veg as like to pick it myself), all breakfasts, lunch, dinner, cleaning materials - about £100 average a week. We don't drink, no reason, just don't, light on meat as not bothered by it, but fussy about some items and try to avoid UPFs, which is not difficult to be honest. Scratch cook, try to be inventive. Buy items when on special, so buy more of an item at the time (always something we regularly use), use Lidl for canned goods, pickles and things like dishwasher tablets. £25 extra each 6 weeks for a 1kg bag of Cornish Coffee beans, our favourite!
