What is your food spend per person?

The current hike in food prices is really troubling me. I am trying to set a food budget and I would love to hear what everyone is spending each week (per person).

Two of us ,£70 per week total.However,that price includes cleaning and hygiene products,and food for two cats and two dogs.We have a drink,but I brew my own beer ,and my wife likes her wine and pays for that from our ‘treat’ budget ,which covers a couple of takeaways a month. We rarely go out ( especially since COVID) so that works. I grow a lot of veg,and we keep hens,so that’s a considerable input to the food side of our economy.
