What do you spend on supermarket shopping in an average week. I spend about ￡120 for three of us and the ...!
Answers: wife says it's too much. This is at Asda and has about ￡20 of booze in it too. Oh yeah that's pet food for two cats and a dog also.
I spend on average ￡100 a week for 2 adults 2 kids with no alcohol so it sounds about right to me.
The wife is right. I dont spend anywhere near that for four adults.
Approx 1/2 of that, shop in any one of the top four. I also think we spend too much.
if you eat it all then its not a waste of money, i spend about that in asda also but mines is every fortnight, i don't have pets just a man a young child
2 adults; 2 children under 14 - ￡75 max per week.
feed the cats to the dog that will save you some money
I spend approx ￡85 per week but I dont buy booze and thats for three
i spend about ￡100 a week thats for me my hubby and 6 kids i go to tesco
I was in the shops the other day and the person in front spent ￡80 and I was gobsmacked.
If you are interested we have started buying fruit and veg at the market and meat from butchers and have saved an absolute packet.
i'm in the USA and weekly shopping bill for 4 adults and 2 dogs is around 150-160 per week!
I spend about a fiver... but then I go back to my parents all the time for a decent meal, and we grow or hunt for a lot of our food. I hate not having money, hopefully I'm learning something, I'm sure one day I'll know what!
￡120 is quite a bit, but if you're going organic, and you aren't getting battery produce, and you're all healthy then it's fine, but if you spend it all on sweeties then you shouldn't!
I spend about ￡90 on the weekly shop, God knows what on, there are 2of us and a toddler and a puss cat.. plus daily shopping tops it up to about ￡120 a week inc beer &wine.. I have no idea what the heck I spend on as I try to be thrifty, I buy good quality meat though.. but I make a little go a long way, and I never (hardly) buy ping meals!! I have a heart failure every week!!!
We are a family of 4 (3 adults and a fussy eater) with a cat; we spend on average ￡80-100 per week.
I do buy fresh fruit and veg in season only free range chicken and eggs, and meat that is British.
This bill, however, does not include alcohol or food from the local farm shop.
$150 a week for two, this does not include carry-out from restaurants which is around $60 a week ( oh 3 cats and a dog included in the weekly market trip. I personally would rather spend my extra money on good food than things like the movies etc..... oh I am 5'6" and 140 lbs fit for my size so this may sound like a lot, but Fine foods cost ( no alcohol), we do not drink.
$200 for 4
Mine varys between 80 to 110 but I do go to the butchers every other week for decent meat which does add another 25, but that is for 5 of us and a that dog cut down on the booze that might help
For the amount of people and pets in your household, I don't think thats too excessive. I live alone now the children are grown up, and spend on average ￡20 per week at the Co-op, plus about ￡4.60 a week on milk from the milkman. I'd spend more if I could afford booze on my meagre earnings! So without the booze, you probably average the same per person. Does your wife feel you spend too much on the booze perhaps?
￡400 a week for 2 adults, organic food – especially meat is very expensive.
No alcohol included in this budget.
I shop for two adults, one sixteen year old boy (so I guess that makes it two more adults!), a nine year old girl, a dog (medium size), a cat and a hamster! I tend to shop every 10 days and it's around GBP60.00 - 70.00. No booze cos I brew my own and we're omnivores. I look for bargains but don't get sucked into the buy one get one free trap of spending a furtune on bargains. If what I want or what I use in on offer then I will buy it. I use a lot of pulses and veg (which I find is cheaper in 'proper' shops rather than supermarkets and I buy my meat from 'proper' butchers. I buy what's in season too - so no strawberries in December for me thanks! I love cooking so buy ingredients rather than ready meals which I find can bump the price up. I also try to buy in bulk - stuff like rice, pasta which you can get in giant packs from ASDA of in 'proper' sacks from 'proper' shops. I keep my veg rack in the garage too so the veg really keeps - I'm still using stuff I bought before Christmas.
I guess at the end of the day, the reality is it depends what your diet is like. If you make a lot of casseroles/soups etc which are cheap to shop for, can be prepared in advance and be heated up (Ideal for a busy lifestyle) and filling, you're not going to spend as much as if you were eating convenience food which saves you time in the kitchen but hammers your wallet. Whoops, hope I'm not lecturing...
So, although I have alluded a lot to 'proper' shops, I wonder now if this answer would be classed as valid.
