I think though the shopping list prices are at wholesale pricing for foodstuffs, I recall when Harry was mucking about with the shopping list,food colourings were priced at 20p each.
I don't know anywhere that you can get colourings for only 20p a bottle so if that is the case then £10 on food would go a lot further indeed.
They've also never had a hard week in there yet, they have had from £350 to £500 every week and then had extra drink, treats, takeways etc brought in in addition to that.
I've seen other BB series where for 2 and 3 weeks in a row they have had only basic shopping budgets and very little in the way of extra drink too.
