I've just done my final reckoning for the year and I'm delighted to say that our average monthly spend on food has been £74.45, down from £91.87 in 2013. I budget £125 per month to feed two of us, so am delighted with this result. I haven't counted catfood in my calculations as she only became a factor part way through the year, so comparisons with last year would not be like for like. She now has her own budget , which was hit hard this morning when I stocked up on a year's supply of turkey Dreamies (thanks OP).
Despite the low spends we have eaten like kings this year, which is in no small part due to the help of the elite, so many thanks to all the glitch finders and testers.

I am very impressed that you have kept records for 2 years - do you have an excel chart?

What about things you get for Shopotize or COS - how do you factor those in?

Very cute that the cat has her own budget! I keep meaning to get one of the Aldi vouchers and then get £30 of Aldi cat food in one fell swoop which should last a month - I have 3
