How much do you actually spend on food a week? Honest numbers only

I've been trying to tighten up the household budget and realised I have no idea what 'normal' is. Everyone online either claims they feed a family of five on pocket change or casually posts a shop that costs the same as my car insurance.

So, honest numbers. Rough weekly spend on groceries (not eating out), how many people, and what country/city. Bonus points for one thing you refuse to cut back on.

Me: two adults and a teenager in Bristol, roughly £110-130 a week depending on whether the teenager is in a growth spurt. Non-negotiable: good coffee beans. I would rather eat beans on toast three nights running.
