Yes, there is. See Table A35 Detailed household expenditure by UK countries and regions, 2012 to 2014 (104 Kb Excel sheet) which is one of the tables linked from Appendix A from Family Spending: 2015 A report on the Living Costs and Food Survey 2014, the latest in a routine series of survey results from the ONS that feed into things like the CPI calculation. A couple of weekly expenditure totals from the spreadsheet:

North	North	Yorks	East	West	East	London	South	South	England	Wales	Scotland Northern United
East	West	and The	Midlands	Midlands	East	West				 Ireland  Kingdom
		Humber											

427.40	467.10	450.60	494.70	454.50	540.60	616.30	594.80	533.00	521.40	444.50	474.40	484.10	512.60
49.80	53.60	51.30	56.80	55.50	61.30	63.20	63.80	61.00	58.30	54.10	56.90	64.00	58.10
20.90	22.40	21.20	20.60	19.60	22.10	27.40	25.20	22.40	22.90	22.80	23.10	35.90	23.20
32.70	33.70	28.50	33.60	28.60	31.20	34.90	37.40	34.20	33.10	29.40	27.90	30.10	32.40
50.90	59.10	61.80	69.50	63.50	78.90	67.30	88.00	76.80	70.20	60.60	73.30	64.40	69.80
12.80	13.80	13.10	14.90	14.00	14.80	16.70	15.30	14.70	14.70	13.50	13.70	16.10	14.60
57.70	64.10	59.80	66.80	56.70	68.90	65.20	76.30	68.40	65.90	58.00	60.40	56.50	64.80

So variation from a low of 427.40 in the NE of England to 616.30 in London or 594.80 in the SE. Later rows are food and non-alcoholic drinks; clothing; household goods and services; transport; communication; recreation.

Two East Midlands columns!
