We are a family of 4 (1 baby) and our shopping is £60 a week including nappies an formula.
Although we bulk buy meat and washing powder from Costco and buy fruit and veg from the green grocers (green grocers only costs about £7)
And we eat very well

I think the germans budget has a fair bit of beer in it.
We have a family of four, and spend £90 on a supermarket shop, prob spend about £20 for corner shop bread and milk during the week, and £15 for fresh fruit and salad during the week, so £125 a week on food.
Fav foods?: tuna pasta bake, spaghetti bolognaise, omelette, curry and rice, sunday morning fry up,

The families pictured show that those with the smallest budgets have the most number of children.
Something wrong for that to be the case

I still can't figure out how some families spend upwards of £200 a week on food unless you had 6+ kids. Is it to show off to your friends or something
My family of me, Mrs and baby son spend £90-95 for a fortnightly shop at Asda. The odd £7.55 is needed for formula but usually included. We spend about £20 every 3 weeks at our butcher on things like bacon, pork chops, diced meat for curries, belly pork, sausages etc. And we certainly don't survive off Smart Price stuff either, plenty of branded things in there.
I might go start shopping at Waitrose and spend twice as much for the same stuff!

We spend around £70 a week on food/drink for 2 people and dog and a rabbit!!
I cant understand what people are buying if you go to the supermarket and spend hundreds a week!!
You may as well eat out every night!

I take sandwiches and fruit to work for lunch,thats included in our budget..I dont have breakfast.
We do have a takeaway from time to time..... Maybe twice a month.
Spending £30 a day on weekly basis is unbelievable,unless a large family is to be fed.
Edit.... Beer,usually get 4-5 nice bottles of beer for a Sunday night. Depending on the deals that are on thats usually a fiver a week. Or costco always sell at a £1 a bottle.

I can't believe that they can put that much food away in this country let alone those others who eat even more!
It is interesting that during the austerity years just after WW2, it was possible to feed a family of three adequately if not with enormous meals for 50p a week!
