what's your average monthly food spend?

Just two of us and average £59.05/week going by the last 12 Morrison's online shops... let's call it £240/month. Pretty much all meals cooked from scratch (by me ) exceptions are pizza and Morrison's fish pie which is truly a delight.

they do nice steak (they did a flat iron one a few years ago - our localish Morrisons closed) Their Steak pies were good (as nice as Greggs).

About £400 a month for two. But that's with some high earner lifestyle creep - I buy a decent amount of varied fresh fish and line-caught wild salmon, few other luxuries. In my peasant days that was bag of frozen basa fillets.

Indeed, their butcher's\market street meat range is top, the casserole steak is fantastic, lovely big chunks that stay big after 1.5-2 hours cooking :-)

Does one count tips for waiters and other such menials?

I find it hard to remember when I wasn't served food - let alone actually <Ughh> Shopping!!

That's the only answer there should be on this thread in this forum.

I recall a guy who tastes fish for a living. He said he always buys frozen fish. Like peas, it's best bought frozen. It's frozen pretty soon after it's been caught. "Fresh" fish can be ten hours old.
