how much do you spend

Hi doormouse
There is just me and my hubby that live in my house. So I usually spend about 80 dollars a week on groceries. I try to plan my meals out for the week and get his lunch stuff too. I've been working on how to cut that back some too. It is just so hard with the prices going up every week. Great discussion. Keep up the good work.

I have 5 children that are living at home as well as me and my husband.Every week we do a main shop and that is about £140 sometimes £170 as well as we top up shopping during the week with milk,bread etc.Perhaps your friend buys take aways or is never there at meal times.

Before i moved, i was taking care of my grandchildren (two of them), and my daughter, and averaged about 30.00 a week on groceries. I did take a lot of short cuts though. Also, i only bought what was on sale that week.

I have a family of 4 and spend about $85 a week. I do alot of cutting coupons for things we use and watch ads very closely.

Oh god, Im so excited, tonight we went shopping in Sainsbury and my husband found a load of stuff on the shelf for sale by tonight, and it was only 20 minutes before the shop shut
He got Fillet Steak, and Sirloin Steak and a Shoulder of Lamb and 10 packs of sausages and other stuff as well for 30 p per item.
Some of the packs of steaks should have been a tenner
I had a bag of bunny food, a jar of coffee and Jaffa Cakes
The bill at the till(poem) was 10 quid, there was over 90 quids worth of the best of food on the conveyor

Best answer the question, we go bargain shopping a lot, only 2 of us at home and we spend less than 20 quid a week on food

Last week, got 38 pints of milk for 3.80, milk freezes, got some tonight, 5p per pint,

Bargain shopping is great, lol

Since I live alone I don't really do weekly shopping. I generally pick up items daily as I need them. The amount I spend is different all the time but I would have to say on a average I probably spend around $25.00 a week on food shopping. I'm not much of a meat eater so that cuts down my costs quite a bit.

We are a family of four and we are now down to less than 100 dollars a week for our food. I cook dinner at home nearly every night (we have cut down eating out from two times per week to 1 time every other week). I write out the plan of what we are planning to eat for the next two weeks and I write out a shopping list. Then I take my list first to Aldi's because it is the cheapest and buy as many of the things there as I can. Then I go across the street to Wal-Mart and get the things that Aldi's didn't have.
We aren't eating a lot of junk either. For this week we had soup beans and cornbread last night, we are having meatball subs, black bean burritos, homemade pizza, roast with potatos and carrots and hamburger steak.

We are five in our house, two adults and three children and I spend £50 per week, buys everything, food, cleaning stuff, cat food and a bottle of wine for saturday night. We used to be six until daughter moved out and I used to spend a few pounds more but not much more. I home bake cakes and all meals
