Hmmm... there's only two of us and a little baby who is still using mummy for food so can't really include her! Our food bill has historically been vast, but it's pretty much our main joys - to eat good food and drink nice wine! I'm a total foodie, and cook at least once a day, and I'd rather scrimp on anything other than what goes in my mouth!

Sooo... our food bill used to be a big weekly shop of about £120.00, and then about 4 supplementary shops for special things and fresh stuff of about £80.00 per week.

However, now I'm not working having had gorgeous little baby, we've had to rein ourselves in. I now budget quite carefully, make my own bread, pasta sometimes, buy meat in bulk then dice/slice/mince and freeze it. I now shop twice monthly and it comes to around £200 ish, but I still also buy the fresh stuff I can't grow every few days. We hardly ever eat out though, and only have a takeaway about twice a year.

I'd still rather go without new clothes than compromise how and what we eat and drink though! Old habits are dying very hard...

I guess if we got to £100.00 per week for everything, I'd be happy with that - I'm still over budget at the moment!
