That’s just supermarket spending. Food and drink as in socialising is in addition to that. Fucking unbelievable.

Food prices in supermarkets have probably never been lower, it's quite easy to eat well, get all the cleaning requirements etc I'd say for about £150 pp a month.

I spend about £100 a week on 3 of us at the supermarket on food. Booze though thats a different matter!

I'm on my one but posted something on Twitter a couple or three weeks back about groceries spends. Asked people how much they thought I'd spent. There was enough for one person for about 10 days to 2 weeks (depending on how much of a greedy cunt you are) but should've done two people and possible a young child for about a week.

There were;
4 x Pork Steaks
8 x Chicken thighs
8 x Bacon Rashers
1kg Rice
500g Pasta
Medium Sliced Loaf
Biscuits
8 x Crisps
2 x tins of toms
1kg Chips
500g Cereal
3 x Bananas
10 x Oranges
300g Mushrooms
500g Butter
4pts Milk
40 Tea Bags

Came to £12.50

I will add I'm pretty skint but I won't plead poverty, of course I will shop thriftly (stingy cunt, call it what you like). Even when it was the ex & I we rarely went over £50 for a weeks shop. I understand larger families of course spending more but you can take advantage of bulk buys/multi buys that won't get wasted so much. Herein I think lies the issue. We generally (as a collective nation) buy way more than we actually consume. Hopefully the trend is happening and becoming common place that any food we don't eat, is sent to a food bank/given to homeless shelters. As long as it's ok. They bloody need it more than us.

We all like a good feed but gluttony in this country is disgusting. The waste it carries with it is the unfortunate friend.

It’s alright, we’ve voted to make ourselves poorer and the shops won’t have anything to stock in a few weeks, so we’ll all be living on a bread and potato diet

Yep, and then the government in situ will strategically raise the price of bread and taters until it's unaffordable to the average joe. Bread and dripping will become a delicacy that only highly educated pig fuckers can eat. They'll flaunt it around like there's no tomorrow as the streets run with rivers of lard!

I think you need a new thread, who can make 10 days worth of breakfast, lunch and dinner from Bamboo's shopping.  I assume there are some herbs and spices in the cupboard for flavouring?

I managed about 6 or 7 days from that but then I was struggling, or was having the same thing within a few days.  I know that is fine, but ideally I think you want some variety, so no repeats on dinners.

Yes there is a fairly stocked cupboard of seasoning etc. Probably a few potatoes rolling around and a shallot or two. Maybe a bag of legumes too. I cook a lot from scratch so right there I could make a tasty Bacon & Sautee Potato Brunch or a Lentil & Bacon Soup. Make some homemade croutons with a slice of bread and scatter in. Twist some black pepper over the top. Done.

Just mix it up. There's at least 8 different chicken dishes available, 4 pork dishes, 4 bacon dishes (2 slice per meal), plenty of non meat dishes. Mushroom Stroganoff, plenty of Soups or broths, minestrone (may have to buy 15p noodles). Banana pudding, rice pudding. Flapjacks made with the cereals (oats), Tea Bread, orange cheesecake (digestive biscuits for the base). As mentioned several breakfast/brunch options with bacon but it'll largely be oats for brekkie (banana porridge) but toast is an option too.

Think that easily covers 30 meals and you know there will still be some rice and possibly pasta left over, possibly a few tea bags too (base it on 2-3 cups per day).

Are you sure that amount comes to £12.50. Seems very cheap.

Lentils are a store cupboard stable not a weekly purchase man.

Must admit that was my first thought, especially with that much meat in there.

This forum gets evermore like Mumsnet each week.
