between the 3 of us we spend about £300 per month on food (300GBP). this included a fair amount of organic stuff. And its mostly ingredients with little in the way of processed foods. We buy mostly in local specialist stores rather than big supermarkets, and don't eat much meat. How does this compare internationally? And with other Brits?
I'm curious, and am always conscious of into whose pockets our money goes.

$80 USD a week, I shop more frequently now than I did before. I used to buy enough to last a month, but that instant access to endless food in the house led to temptation (mostly late at night). (shrug) makes me walk more now too.0

hey there and greetings from Ireland £75 a week sounds ok to be honest because food definitely cheaper in uk than ireland. We are five at home and spend about €200 a week on food. I see you have a child too so its really only 2 and a half people . Mind you we do a weekly shop in a Tesco so not much by way of speciality foods at all and we do have meat every day.0

$70 Australian... Usually it is just fruit and veg, cheese, milk, ham and turkey. Then once a month I do a big shop $80 for meats that I can freeze0

I shop once every two weeks, spend about $120 U.S. Dollars, so $60 a week. I don't buy anything perishable for the most part, with the exception of whole wheat bread, whole wheat bagels, and some fat free cream cheese. Everything else is old-fashioned oats, whey protein, and fish oil/flaxseed.0

I spend any where from $50-70 (US) a week. Depending on what's on sale. Most of it is for perishables. I work in a grocery/superstore. So I usually break up my shopping and only by enough perishables to last 2-3 days. Part of my budget covers other things like cat food and food that my husband can make. He really hasn't learned to cook yet.0

$80/week Canadian. I make a meal plan every Saturday and based on that, buy my groceries. Sometimes I go over, sometimes I'm under but I budget for $80/week because produce costs an arm and a leg here.0

Hiya, I spend on average about £25-£30 a week on food, excluding Starbucks and the odd treat from Pret A Manger. I shop for myself and go to Sainsburys. I personally think £25-£30 is a bit pricey for one person but I tend to buy a lot of meat, salmon and fruit which is pricey in London. I live with my boyfriend but as we eat such different food (i.e. he eats unhealthily!) we do our shopping separately, which completely baffles my mother!0

300 GBP divided between 2 and a half of us works out as
GBP 30
EURO 32
US Dollars 40
Yen 3700
Australian Dollars 46
New Zealand Dollars 60
South African Rand 310
Swiss Francs 43
Canadian Dollars 46
(That's enough Rates ed.)

These days, I mostly get my stuff from a supermarket, prepackaged (though mostly healthy stuff).
I think I probably spend around £75 (GBP) per week including a friday takeaway curry.
I'm probably paying at least a 2x convenience premium
This doesn't include beer. Double it for that unless I'm having a dry period.0 -

About $200-$250 US a month.0

I budget myself £200 per month (£50 per week) for two of us.
I try to make as many meals from scratch as I can and try not to buy things we don't need. It helps save our money and stop us snacking!0 -
For me, my husband and our 2 kids, we spend about £60 a fortnight and then we get fresh bits as we need them which is probably about £40 so about £50 a week for 4 of us.0
-
For my husband and I, $100 a week, which includes trips for kitty litter, house stuff, and the cosmetics.0
-
£30 - £40 for two adults and two children (half the week) x0
-
about $50 a week for just myself.0

OK, I am almost embarassed to say this but will qualify it with we eat really healthy and never do takeaway, including lunches.
Family of 4 about $600AUD per week.
