How much do you spend on food?

[wanton dwarf]

Oh, and we bulk buy our butter from @onesiedale several times a year.

Does he have a online shop, how does it work ?

Do we have a networking forum on here where we can buy/sell food to each other ? Sometimes buy Coastal cheese direct but usually get it from Costco - same price without the delivery cost.

Was £235 yesterday.

Family of 4. That included some non essentials, £40 fathers day gift, thatchers Haze, only 4 tins and 6 pack of beer. Cat food.

Man at the checkout said, you win the prize for the longest receipt!

Works out cheaper to buy the 10 pack of haze.

Got our own beef in the freezer, lamb comes from a friend's farm, hens for eggs. Have moved my vedge patch to a more shaded area and it's going better, should have done it before.
Spend 400 ish monthly on food in the supermarket when the four of us at home, that's going up as prices rise Wife makes all our bread, baps, pizzas, pastry and we'll be keeping our own Wheat this year for flour and home milling it.

 

[Oliveau]

Veg and fruit from the garden. Milk from a neighbour at 1 euro for 2 litres. Cream, butter & cheese from the local creamery about once per month.
Eggs from our own chicken, laying 5/day.
Fish from the market about 40 euros/month. Sometimes buy some cheese in the market as my cheese lady has a very good selection [Even Stilton!]
Ham, sausages & charcuterie a sometimes pork from a local producer at the market, about 15 euros/fortnight.
For a treat at this time of year, peaches, apricots and melons from the market. Our garden melons are not ready before August.
Supermarket just for cleaning products, dry goods and dairy things like yoghurt and fromage blanc.
Just need to source a supply of well hung beef and some decent lamb, so if anyone in Centre wants to share a lamb or half a bullock PM me.
Wine from local producers at about 5 euros/bottle.

 

[Montexy]

Potato/onions 100% home grown, beans, courgette, pumpkin, tomato seasonally grown. Lamb home produced and swapped for pork with a neighbour. The wife spends £70 a week on food/cleaning stuff, etc. Drink two bottles of wine a week at about £13 for two bottles ( only buy australian wine to support their industry after the Chinese stopped importing aussie wine in order to bully them). Very rarely buy take aways as not so fussed about them as I've got older.
This is for three of us btw.

Mrs An Gofsays it’s about £100/week for two of us, I have no idea. She does all the shopping and cooking. Most of shopping is at Waitrose, some for convenience at local Tesco and occasional trip to Lidl.
Beef is all our own in the freezer together with copious quantities of game. Buy a pig for the freezer from a local farmer, potatoes from a neighbour and have a fresh fish box, £50 a time, from Looe fishermen.
Grow some of our own veg and have fruit from orchard.
Wine purchased by the case and supplied by local wine merchant adds another £30-40 per week.
All cooked from scratch. Have a takeaway about once a month and have hardly eaten out at all since covid started.
We eat and drink exceptionally well, the wife is a fantastic cook and dining is our extravagence. If we added it all up and paid retail for all the meat, veg and fruit it would be a frightening amount

Alcohol bill is twice the food bill here , could live on a loaf of hovis and a jar of strawberry jam , not foodies here

 

[matthew]

Ours is about £100 / week for two. Includes wine (for me) and ale for OH. and £10 / week for dog / cat etc. Shop at Morrisons / Waitrose
Lamb is our own. Most of veg is grown by me from seed. Salads, tomatoes, cucumbers, runner beans, french beans, spuds, onions and 5 sorts of brassicas in a veg cage.
Surplus sold at the gate for Air ambulance.

Toms not quite there yet, but doing well...

 

[yellowbelly]

Eggs from our own chicken, laying 5/day.

Jeeeezzzz, that's one helluva chicken.

Get a cockerel and hatch some eggs - you could singlehandedly solve the world food crisis by increasing egg production 5 fold.

 

[puppet]

About £100 a week for 2. Alcohol would be about 1% of that and never had beef or lamb from butcher for around 4 years due to homekill. Wish I had more time to grow veg but pick free brambles and apples for winter pies

Perhaps this should be in off topic, Mods feel free to move it.
With all the current talk of food prices and the inability of people to cook, I wondered, who does the food shopping in your household, where do you shop, how often, roughly how much a week would you spend and has it gone up recently?
Also who's cooking and meal planning, how often do you eat out or buy takeaways?

I eat grass.. because i am an animal!!! Discuss?

I want to buy Wanton Dwarf pee for my nitrogen concentrator? Is that feasible??

 

[Kidds]

$13.99 for a lettuce in town plus $12.99 for a 250gm punnet of strawberries

Does anybody actually pay that?
Lettuce are so easy to grow your own and not something I would ever consider a must have anyway. Strawberries are hardly an essential staple either.

Whenever I have been to Australia the supermarkets have always struck me on how good their display of fresh fruit and veg are. Good quality, lots of it and a very wide range, lots of things I have never even seen before.
It also strikes me as bloody dear compared to here! I can buy Oz grown Pink Lady here cheaper than I found them in Oz. That baffled me a bit.
