We spend at least £50 on food per week between two of us. Most of the stuff we eat is cooked at home and we both take our lunch to work with us.

Yea, we struggle to spend that little a week (on 2 people who home cook everything, is that bad???)
sorry, that's £50 a week. i realised after i went to work that i fucked up  everything else is monthly and i put the food as weekly for some reason.
just added up my costs each month. think that's everything. a lot of money but better then pissing it up the wall.
corrected one:
Mortgage-------------------------------- £943.00
Food Shopping-------------------------- £200.00
Council Tax------------------------------ £138.00
Petrol and yvonne's travel------------- £70.00
Mobile Phone Contract x2-------------- £65.50
Sky (T.V, Broadband, Phone)---------- £63.58
Gas------------------------------------------ £39.00
T.V License--------------------------------- £29.10
Home Insurance-------------------------- £27.91
Electric-------------------------------------- £26.00
Water--------------------------------------- £21.00
Life Insurance----------------------------- £20.77
Halifax ultimate reward account fee- £12.50
£1656.36
50 quid a week on food i think is reasonable. we used to have a takeaway once a week + all my food for work. the 200 quid is just general shopping for food and toiletries (sp).

We pay £9.50 for Phone/BB(unlimited up to 8mb) and have Freeview+. Is Sky really worth an extra £53 a month?
in a word, no it's not worth it tbh. the broadband is £17 for unlimited which is a lot, phone is free evenings and weekends. with sky i have hd and sky sports 1 which adds £18 to the price, even though i could do without HD.
when the 12 months is up i'll go to freeview as i used to have that in my old house and lived fine, think i just wanted the best of everything and paid too much.

You see my theory about Sky is that if I didn't have it I'd spend more than the monthly cost going the pub to watch the games. I used to not have it and go the pub at least once a week to watch a game and spend minimum £20 on drinks at a time.

I think this is the only valid argument for Sky, the cost of football tickets and drinks / food etc far outweigh the cost of a Sports subscription, but Im not into Sport at all, I watch MOTD and the F1 and they are on the BBC, which costs £12 a month but there you go
