Credit card bill has just come in and hubby isn't too pleased as it's more than expected. On reviewing purchases, the main things are approx. £110 a week on food and we eat out quite a lot with going away in the holidays and treating kids to lunch out (so in theory should have spend less on weekly food and not more). If I'm being good, I can stick to £55 a week (which includes cat food by the way) but feel we are having to go without healthy food options sometimes, ie cheap sausages bought in bulk rather than chicken.
Just wondering what others spend on food, so I can get a realistic feel of what budget I can realistically stick to.
