Re: Price of food.
I reckon I spend between £30 and £50 a week just for myself but I do get a lot of fresh stuff, and I like a wide variety of things

Re: Price of food.
I spend about £45 for just me and the cat - and the cat's share of that is about about £12 (cat litter and pouch food) - so I spend about £33 - that is food only - because I buy petrochemical free toiletries and cleaning products seperately
I make my own bread/confectionary and eat (mostly) organic and home made, but I do indulge in a wine box every month and add on half a bottle of whisky a week in winter. |
Re: Price of food.
About one hundred pounds for the two of us, plus ten pound a week for a veg box. This also includes the price of food for various off spring that call to cadge a meal.
We are vegetarian (except for a little bit of fish) do not eat many processed food.However I do spend more because of my food intolerances meaning I have to buy a number of Fee From foods. |
Re: Price of food.
I agree with you Flashy, places like Lidl and Aldi were meant to be cheap but I dont think they are anymore, asda and tescos are just as good and theyre stuff looks better.
My shopping budget? Depends on money. I can do a wekkly shop for 25 quid for two of us, or 100 quid lol. If i'm skint, i dont do cakes and treats and just get the basics. I like to over buy (am a real hoarder) so I like to permanently have full cupboards and freezers. Came in really useful though when I was confined to the house for a couple of weeks with 'ye poxy one'. lol |
Re: Price of food.
I spend around £60+ a week thats for a family of 4...but that doesnt include loo roll and other cleaning stuff i might need during the week, also i sometimes have to buy extra bits nr the end of the week just to last!
so really im spending about £80...which is bloody ridiculous!....and now asda want us to pay for bags:eek:...ruddy cheek! |

Re: Price of food.
I don't know of a food co-op locally, but I could be wrong.
We get fresh veg boxes from Chilli Lime Deli in Blackburn, they are as near to being organic as you can get without being terribly overpriced. Unfortunately there is no delivery service. |
Re: Price of food.
Tesco also do `Fresh` boxes of organic seasonal veg and they are very good.......

Re: Price of food.

Re: Price of food.
Are these amounts what a careful shopper watching his/her nickles and dimes would pay? Or are they prices that someone like me would spend? I am fortunate enough to be able to buy what I want for me and the animals; so I don't look for specials unless it is for non perishables like cans of soup. Whatever ... your prices seem way high. Beechy mentioned margerine for 1.68 a container. I have just been to the corner store ... these are not the cheapest places around .... and saw large containers of margerine at less than half that price: $1.25. And Chocolate Milk ... a fav of mine ... was on for 99 cents a litre.

One checkout girl asked me if I was not interested in the enviroment. I said of course I am these bags are bio degradeable, they just take about 400 years. She proceded to tell me that they kill marine life. I said that I never knew they killed marine life to make them into carrier bags. That was when she decided I was a lost cause and started putting my food through the till. Asda don't care about the enviroment. They have just started putting smartprice jaffa cakes into cardboard boxes. They used to be in bags. Now you get two packs in bags inside a cardboard box. Thanks Asda for using more packaging for nothing :mad: |
