As the title says.....''how much do you roughly spend on food shopping??''

We spend far too much and would like an idea of what sort of things people eat that are living on a budget??

Too much. I reckon about £180 per week. There are some people on here who have got budgeting sorted but i have not yet managed it!

too much here too, i try and budget but i havent grasped the concept yet and a trip to asda for bread usually sees me come out 20-30 lighter!

i will watch this with interest!

We've actually only just introduced a meal planner (on our first week still) but last week our shopping went down from £60-£70 to only £30!!!! (although no nappies etc). The things we have been eating are sausage cassarole, gammon and mash, spag bol, tuna pasta bake etc. xx

We spend about 50quid a week. we done a 80 quid shop last weekend which will see us for nearly two weeks freezer wise. deffo need to start budgeting tho. half the stuff ends up getting wasted. i just cant get into the habit pf planning meals as i never know what i fancy!!

We spend £40 a week in Asda, and thats for 3 of us for the week.

We spend so much we do a bigish shop once a week which normally gets upto £60 but thats jus on callums bits.washing stuff,house stuff etc not dinners
then we end up going in 2 times a week for fresh bread & milk and end up spending least a £10 each time xx

i spend usually about £30 per week but may have a day where i need a few bits here and there which maybe another £10 but if i need nappies and toiletries maybe £50

i am a bit of a coupon feind too so i have a wallet full of them to try and get things a bit cheaper! lol!

We tend to spend £70 ish but will do us 2weeks. Mind saying that we did one Monday cane to £100!!! Nearly died. We didn't have a thing, so had to go to tescos.

But I ha started doing it online &doing meal plan then it's about£30-40 sooo much cheaper!!
Erm we have shepards pie/ lasagna/ curry/ spag Bol/ pasta/ chick dinner/ gammon/ few quick frozen things when can't be assed lol actualy looking at that... That's all we eat haha x

Far too much!

I'm going to do a meal planner.

also too much About £70 a week and then a few odds n sod in the week so more like £90ish i guess

We spend between 30-60 pounds a week. that includes cotton wool, fabric softener and washing powder, nappies and food though if we buy like 12 toilet rolls or a box of fairy we don't need them for a few weeks so it's less.

We do a menu planner each week then I usually do a big shop online which stops me buying stuff that isn't on the list! that includes cotton wool, fabric softener and washing powder, nappies and food though if we buy like 12 toilet rolls or a box of fairy we don't need them for a few weeks so it's less.

Probably works out as about £250 a month it also means I eat a meal a day, before we did a meal planner I would just pick all day and when you are breastfeeding that isn't great! Could definitely manage with less money than we spend but it's fine for now

We do things like chilli, veg lasagne, baked potatos, loads of pasta, fajitas/burritos, omlettes, sausage and mash, veggie burgers and one treat a week, then just bread and stuff for during the day so we don't need to venture into a shop!

I do a monthly online shop that stocks up our tins, packets, freezer, fridge etc that costs about £150, and then I do about £50 a month at a farm shop near us that stocks up our meat. I really dont like supermarket minced beef, gammon, or steak.

Weekly meals in our house are:

Chilli con carne
Spag Bol
Sausage, egg & chips (My fave!)
Gammon & Egg
Pasta n Sauce wth Corn on cob (If we need a quick and easy tea)
Home made chicken fried rice
Chicken, mash, stuffing, peas n gravy (de-lish!!)

Or if were proper on a budget

Good ole - Beans n cheese on toast
