I spend roughly £75 a week for 5 of us, but my daughter tends to eat out a lot evenings and weekends. I do provide the food for her packed lunch for work though.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Me and girlfriend spend about £30 a week on groceries, toiletries and cleaning. At the moment the freezer is packed though, so should be spending less :$0

Trips to M&S and convenience foods certainly bumped our bills up
Since reducing both those, our bills have gone down. This site has given me tips and ideas how to reduce the bill too. I think it is around £80 per week but it used to be approx £100+ per week.
We still have some work to do in reducing the bills more but we have a fussy teenager and my OH isn't that easy to feed either:(
It is an uphill battle, I am sure if I lived alone, the amount I would spend would go to more than half. Feeding other people makes us extravagent, usually in the form of buying 'treats', more so when we have people round. Also, some days I simply don't want to cook!
We used to spend £20 a week on food in 1982, which did consist largely of convenience foods. I did work full time but did have to watch the pennies.

I keep it in the freezer next to Mother....0
