Just wondered how much per week would you say a sensible food budget should cost for 2 adults & 3 children ?

Hi Carlos why not comeover to the MONEYSAVING OLDSTYLE board and join a grocery challenge you will get lots of advice on recipes,menu planning etc

grocery challenge is great at keeping you focusssed! I worked out that my food budget is the biggest expense now and need to cut back! I also realised that paying cash makes me REALLY thing about what goes in the trolly in a way that cards never did! HTH!!

For a family of five with the kids 10,7 and 5. I seem to be averaging £60 a week with the odd small top up in the week say £5. This includes everything from toiletries, household, treats etc.

Probably could get it down a bit further if I cooked from scratch more and tried a bit harder but it is a big improvement.
