UK here. These are my current year numbers. Do note OP numbers are from 5 years ago.
Electricity: £100 or so normally, £200 during autumn/winter. I dont have gas, everything is electric and I use my PC 8/7.
Internet: £50 for basic 1GB speed nowadays. You can try playing around with new customers contracts just to go down to 30 again but it's more trouble then it's worth. Avoid Vodafone though, they cancelation process is cancer.
Mobile Bill: £10. Sounds about right. I dont do much calling around though.
Council Tax: £110. It keeps growing 3% every year for the last decade.
Car Insurance: Dunno. I cycle everywhere.
Food Bill: £300 without takeouts. With takeouts it might be 400.
TV license: You don't pay for that unless you're dumb. Everytime I recieve a letter I regret not collecting them because I'd have enough to make a wallpaper.
Wow, and I thought I was frugal. Granted, I'm not sure what a council tax is or what the American equivalent of that would be. It sounds like a property tax, but you pay it even when you're renting? The food bill definitely seemed low to me, but not impossible I suppose.
I knew y'all don't have formally allocated levies but that's actually worse than I thought.
