On average, household spending varies widely depending on factors such as household composition and location. For example, in Jersey, the average household spends about £901 per week, with couple households with children spending up to £1,365 per week and single pensioners around £423 per week. Food and non-alcoholic drinks typically account for about 11% of total spending, averaging around £101 per week in this context. In the UK, the average weekly food expenditure per person is about £42, with total household spending on food around £90 to £157 per week depending on family size. Weekly personal spending limits can be calculated by subtracting weekly bills and savings from weekly income, which varies widely per individual and lifestyle. In personal finance discussions, weekly spending reported by individuals ranges from $200 to over $1,000 depending on their circumstances, location, and household size.
Thus, how much money is spent weekly depends greatly on individual situations, but typical averages for households range from a few hundred to over a thousand pounds/dollars per week when including all expenses.
