How much of your hard earn't are you spending at the supermarket these
days?. I've just had a run in with SWMBO re this over the last few weeks
and to my mind it seems to be a bl^^dy small fortune so I'd just like to
canvass some opinions. Say a family of Four, 2 adults and a couple of
teenage children.

Living in the ever so effluent sarff to include grub, excluding eating
out, and all things like washing up stuff, bog paper cleaning stuffs all
those things that are needed to run the home excluding fuel costs,
amounts per month please if you don't mind

Of course those who don't quite fit that spec are welcome to comment...

'Cos I'm sad... (*)

I have records in Microsoft Money dating back over fifteen years of
virtually every penny I've ever spent, broken down into categories.
The breakdown over the last ten years, for a single person (*) for
'Groceries' (basically my supermarket shop which includes bog rolls,
cat food (*), etc.) is:

2002 £1523
2003 £1729
2004 £1671
2005 £1457
2006 £1828
2007 £1929
2008 £1967
2009 £2288
2010 £1878
2011 £1987

(* Lives alone, owns a cat, keeps records of everything he spends,
posts to usenet.)

Wonder why it varys like that. Have you seen good and bad times etc ?
