How much is your weekly shop?

justkate88

I've just popped the ingredients from a weekly '1500 calorie meal plan' that I found into Tesco online. It came to £85 (about $140?). We quite simply cannot afford that per week (there are only two of us! That, to me, is a family budget!).

So - how much is your weekly shop and what is your general meal plan/structure?

I generally have to spend roughly $60 a week on replenishing my food.

My husband and I spend about $60- $70 a week. We don't always run out of everything every time.. but everything is in a cycle.

I spend about $100-125 a week on my family of 5 for EVERYTHING ~ and that includes organic produce. We buy organic cow through a co op and I get free range eggs from my mom for free. The only thing I splurge on is house hold cleaners that are not toxic

We spend $500-$550 usually per month for our family of four (plus our two dogs).

I spend about 20-30 pounds a week (38-48 dollars). Like others not everything runs out, but because its only me I usually only by for about a week and a half so nothing spoils, etc.

I usually spend about $150 (US) every 2 weeks for my hubby and I. However, that also includes the random household products like TP, laundry detergent, etc.... I just haven't taken the time to break out what I'm spending on food vs. house stuff. Note: we don't eat as much fresh produce as we should.

I'm a tight cow and go to the shops everyday and buy stuff that's been reduced, plus it doubles up as exercise

For me and my partner, it's anywhere from $80 to $150 a week, depending on what we're out of! And that included everything for the house, too (cleaners, TP, deodorant, etc.)

So I'm right that that's a family-sized price then! Ahh.. back to the drawing board!

We spend a bit more than some because I'm on a low carb diet. The perimeter of the store is usually more expensive than the center. Our weekly tally is about $125. And it's just me and hubs.

I drink protein Shakes and eat egg white omlettes for breakfast, Lunch it's a chicken breast and supper its either Chicken or Fish.
Not Much Veggies in there. I spend about 20 a week getting fresh eggs and cheese. Sometimes a bit more if i run out of protein shake. But Once a Month I spend about 70 on just meat.
my Boyfriend eats completely different meals and he buys those things for himself. But I grow Veggies for him to eat.

But When i was on Uweightloss Diet. I was spending over 100 A week on special fruits veggies and things i wouldnt normally buy

My family of 4 averages about $500 a month on groceries (and that's in Canada, where groceries cost almost twice as much as in the American border towns).

Punkedpoetess

On average I spend 45-60 per week on groceries for my husband and I. I shop sales a lot, buy in season and frozen/canned produce, and clip coupons to help save me additional money.

On average, our shopping costs around £100 a week for my family of five, but like last night i had to pop back to Asda to get more healthy snacks for myself, so sometimes it's more than that, sometimes it's less. That includes toiletries, cleaning products etc.
But i do find that planning meals for the week before i go shopping usually lowers the cost x

hush7hush

I spend like $30/week.
