Food shopping

I spend around £50, if that, on myself and 3 cats, that includes toiletries and cleaning items. My cats eat really well and I also eat really well.

I usually buy the basic range in rice pasta, tinned tomatoes, ketchup, etc as I find not much difference between the well known branded and the cheaper ones. The exception to the rule is coffee.

I shop around and look out for offers only on things that I know I will use. Istock up on a lot of frozen veg, so I do not end up throwing it out.

Am I the only one who struggles to average less than £100 a week for food etc., for my husband and myself, and our medium sized dog?

I cook from scratch, and admittedly there are some (but not all), branded products, and we opt for the healthier products like whole meal pasta which are not available as a 'value range', but we waste very little. I've found that fruit and veg are no longer the cheap ingredients that they used to be, and as for fish, well I won't go there.

I have a friend who claims that she only spends £25 - 30 a week for the same household size, and its got me thinking......what do you spend?
