Hi guys, today I thought I’d talk to you about how much you are paying per meal, the reason for this is because sometimes we worry that we are spending too much money but when we put the price into perspective you can see how much you are truly spending.
Per month we have on average 94 meals, if you are a family of 4 and you spend £100 a week that works out to be £400 a month. To figure out your average spend per person you divide the £400 by the 94 meals which works out to be £4.25 per meal roughly. Following this you divide the number by the amount of people you are cooking for, which in this case you would divide £4.25 by 4 using the example of feeding a family of 4.
From this it means on average you spend £1.06 a meal per person, which doesn’t seem as bad as the original £400. This method seems complicated but so long as you know your monthly spend and divide that by 94, the average number of meals, you know how much you are spending per meal for your whole family.
It definitely changes the way you think about the price of your shop, whether that is you believing its too high, just right or that you can afford a few more treats, it allows you to know your costings.
Thanks for joining me on this journey, Hope to see you soon.
