    Each week, between 2 of us, usually comes to around £25 but does vary with some things that are infrequent purchases.

    Around £5 on cheese. Then everything else, typically some mix of: potatoes, onions, carrots, rice, beans, chickpeas, lentils, soy sauce, hoisin, frozen peas and sweetcorn, flour, chicken, sausages, honey to make mead, lettuce, cabbage, grapes, tinned chopped tomato.

      That’s crazy, your other expenses (internet/electricity) seem comparable, but your food must be so much cheaper than in the US. Where I am, chicken alone is like $5 per pound. I think a pound of any decent cheese is $8-10.

        Probably get 0.5-1kg of chicken, or 400g of the finest sausages in Aldi. That along with cheese are by far the most expensive ingredients in that list.

        I suppose living fairly near cheddar helps with cheese prices, doesn’t have to be sent very far.
