How much do you spend on groceries per week?

Including things like bin liners, soap, toothpaste.

I'm paying around £45 which I'm sure is too much for a single person.

Re: How much do you spend on groceries per week?

It sounds about right to me. I'd say I spend about £75 for two of us and a small dog. I do an online grocery shop once a week and will just buy milk, bread and the odd thing I fancy in the local store in between the main delivery.

Average about £90-£100 per week, sometimes more, sometimes less.

This is what I've been doing, however, I'm sure I've been spending too much with the online grocery shop as it's so easy to click.

About £20 to £30 a week, simple tastes so dont need elaborate meals or goods.

Yes that is for the two of us, a lot more if we have guests as we had this week.

It is but I don't worry about the cost of groceries as we have to eat and eat healthily.

Re: How much do you spend on groceries per week?

I'm guilty of buying those pre-packed pots of fruit which I think are £3 for 2 and obviously don't last long with me.

I'd like to aim for Nom's £20 to £30 a week. Trouble is, Tesco charge £4 extra unless you buy at least £40 worth of groceries. I've tried shopping less often but it hasn't been working.

How much do you spend on groceries per week?
A lot less since I stopped eating meat,don't buy any wine and eat smaller simple meals

I don't actually look what I spend a week, my weekly spend is disproportionate because I stock up on cleaning products
etc when they are on offer and never pay full price for them.
So some weeks I spend more or less than others .
