Call bullsh*t all you like, but I KNOW I can feed myself, Nat and Isaac on £95 for two weeks including 2 baby formula's as it was what our Asda bill came too. Oh and £20 for fresh meat from the butchers. That's just under £60 a week for a family of three not just living on processed crap 
If I had the reciept from last Friday I'd scan it and show you.

Either that or your just not managing your food budget well enough.
Study what your buying,you will find plenty of ways to cut it down if you want too.

I reckon about £75 per week for the two of us, excluding alcohol.
- Tropicana, Cereal, Coke, Diet Coke, Tea, Bottled water adds up to about £20-25 already and we eat pretty clean and have veggie beds. No take-aways.

Depends what you buy though. For example, you can buy a chicken for £3.50 or £7, both the same size, but one lived in a production house and the other lived in a field. So it might well come down to an ethical choice, or you simply might not be able to afford the more expensive one.

You'll have to ask my butchers about thet one. I buy what he sticks because it's a fair price, tastes great and isn't filled with water. Where it comes from I dunno but it isn't £7 for one chicken...

We buy all our meat from our local butcher, better quality than supermarket stuff and cheaper.

Shame it's not easier to copy and paste reciepts, would make some entertaining reading I reckon.
I got away with £75 quid this week, due to eating other peoples food this weekend!

^^^^ there very good for you mate
nutrition is best and most favourably balanced in eggs from hens that are allowed protein in there diets(from insects, flies, midges ect), along with being free range.
30 eggs per day split into 3 x 10 egg omlettes, 4 whole, 6 whites per meal - job done,
pluss endless variations to add, veg, meat ect.
job done 210 eggs per week

I cant beleive the Germans spend that much and arent massive.
I reckon we spend £200 a week on shopping for 5 of us plus the Dog, a couple of years back I used to budget £100 a week, those days are long gone.
Dont know how people feed a family of 5 on low wages, run cars, have a mortgage etc, I am sure we could pare it down but to be honest I do things like taking butties to work so not extravagent really, three teenage boys dont help, like bloody locusts, literally if there is a box of decent (sugary) cereal, they eat it all in one morning, partly appetite, partly greed and partly to stop anyone else getting it.
