Not sure if you’d win that bet or not but my anecdata is that me and probably the majority of my social circle spend near-0 on alcohol and sweets. They/we buy good quality food and that became mighty expensive.
- benj111 4y agoNo I think youre probably right the uk spends £117.97 on food and non alcoholic drinks annually https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1110322/fsp-csv1_6-11oct22.csv/preview https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... £27 billion on alcohol consumption in the home https://www.statista.com/statistics/281935/spending-on-alcoholic-drinks-in-the-united-kingdom-uk-since-2005/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/281935/spending-on-alcoh... savory snacks seem to be around £3bn, sweets around £6bn, and the soft drink market around £10bn So it doesn't really get close, no matter how you slice it. total supermarket spend is £188bn https://www.ibisworld.com/united-kingdom/market-size/supermarkets/ https://www.ibisworld.com/united-kingdom/market-size/superma... So actual food still makes up the majority of sales, which im surprised by.
