I sat down to see if you could get any closer on £20 to her household requirements, but focusing on having meals, likely repeating them, starting with no stock as a meal base etc. Here's my shop at £19.74 as items were out of stock. I want to be really clear I don't think a family should have to live on £20 of food per week. It was a challenge to myself only. Everyone should have sufficient funds to meet their nutritional needs.
