following.
In December 2021, an average of 3.76 billion British pounds (GBP) worth of goods were purchased in food stores across Great Britain per week. This represented a record amount spent on food purchases, but was also expected as Christmas season typically means increased food sales across retail stores. Since May 2014, average weekly sales have shifted upward. As of September 2023, average weekly sales stood at around three billion British pounds. For data concerning the percentage change in the value of sales in food stores, please see the Average weekly sales in predominantly food stores in the Great Britain (UK) from May 2014 to September 2023 (in 1,000 GBP)
