I would shop at the butchers and green grocers, I'd buy ready made rice, I'd buy shop pizzas I'd buy ready cooked chicken erm...I'm running out of ideas of how to spend £1000 in a month. I bet we'd have lots of takeaways.....

I doubt I could spend anything like that unless I ate out almost every day. I would buy more and better fresh fish e.g. decent smoked haddock not dyed stuff. OH would like steaks etc. Lots of asparagus, mangos and other expensive exotica which I can't afford at present. Maybe slightly better wine but we aren't big drinkers.That is about it really as I think we eat pretty well even though I spend less that £300 a month for two of us.

I normally spend £85/week on food for 2 adults and 2 young kids; I could spend more I suppose but it feels wasteful. I do think it would be pretty easy to spend £1000/month though really.

If we take our two kids out to a normal restaurant (nothing fancy), you're looking at £50 if we have two courses each so would could up that to three courses and a fancy restaurant to make it £100+. Every Saturday night out would be lovely

I would get all meat from somewhere like Turner & George - good quality, fairly treated animals. I could easily spend £30/week there, maybe more.

I would switch all our fruit and veg to organic and local/British where possible. A salad box, a large veg box and a large fruit box from Abel and Cole would be almost £50/week.

Then store cupboard basics, soft drinks and fridge stuff I could easily spend another £50 on that.

It's easy to spend £20 on lunch at soft play or in a cafe when shopping. That's my £250 gone and I haven't bought any cleaning stuff yet. I would love spending that much! Everything would be eco/organic/fair trade/local if possible etc... stuff I'd love to do if money wasn't a consideration at all.

If I had that amount and were to spend it just on my family then everything would be organic but I'm not sure even organic would mean spending £1000!

We spend around £60 a week on everything.

I spend over £300 a month on food for two of us - that's cooking virtually everything from scratch, looking out for offers and shopping around. That £300 doesn't include my work lunches which would probably add another £50 to the total. If I just bought whatever I fancied without looking at price labels, bought more prepared foods and ate out in the evening once a week then I think I could easily spend £1000....probably more.

£1000 per week on food? Doesn't everybody?

I can't imagine ever spending that much on food.

If I had the money to do it though I would have better quality meat and meat alot more often, more fruit & veg and the poshest loo roll by £1k could buy

Apart from that I honestly can't think what else I would change about what I eat now.

More posh ready meals perhaps? I dunno!

I do know a couple who spend that much. They eat all organic and are total foodies so are always buying expensive meat and unusual ingredients. They can afford it easily so it's not a problem.

I would love £1000 a month to spend on food! I'm not sure I would spend that much each month though. I would do all my food shopping in Waitrose and in the local deli. I would love to buy really nice cuts of meat and interesting imported stuff. My local deli stocks some lovely French products, but they are pricey.

£80 a week for 3 of us and we eat pretty well out of that. Theres no way I could spent £1000 a week on food without there being lots of waste.
