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.
Getting out of paying a TV license after you've already been paying at the same address is actual aids to do.
They expect you to "prove" it with photos and shit. And because they've overstretched if you take any photos of a TV/computer or laptop they'll deny it.
Moving address is the easiest way, you just don't pay from day 1.
