Single folk, how much do you spend on food per month on average?

When it comes to packed lunches, what worked for me was making them as soon as I got home. You're still up and going, so what's another five minutes? Especially if you've just bought some of the ingredients. An extra five minutes standing up and wrapping a sandwich in foil, that's not that hard. Then you can relax.

Whereas if you leave them till just before bed, you're tired and it's hard to make yourself do it. Different strokes, obvs. I know some people say it doesn't work for them.

I'm terrible at this, but if it's purely food maybe £50-60. Tend to use fairly nice ingredients, but pretty much 100% home cooked. I could certainly get by nicely on less I think... It also depends on how much meat you eat, and where you draw the line ethically on that front. And is complicated by things like spices.

A month?

A month?

Ah, no - that was just because a couple of posters above me were talking about weeks.

So in the last 4 weeks I spend £220 on food but I only spent £128 on motoring.
