Don't be too put off, it can be expensive here in the Uk, but it depends what your lifestyle is.

We used to grow all our own veg but we just don't have the time any more, but our weekly shop from our local greengrocers is £15, and I make a massive soup from that too, we shop at the local butchers, fishmongers, and bakers, and a little deli in town gives us all we need in terms of luxuries, its only really cleaning stuff that we ever have to go to the supermarket.
