There used to be a website that lets you buy groceries with bitcoin. But I think it shut down. Even still I believe it was USA only. Google it, I'm sure there is something out there. If not, you could buy a visa giftcard with bitcoin. there are plenty of places online to do that. then just buy the groceries with the card.

May be able to find something of use at pock.io. I see multiple gift cards listed there including Amazon.co.uk and Starbucks. Haven't used it myself though.

Can't find it listed at pock.io. the1 suggested above there are some places online that would provide that. I'm going to do some more looking around to see what's available, and the "Xapo debit card" looks interesting as well. Don't know how this slipped by me. Guess I should spend more time keeping up with the companies doing business with Bitcoin and a little less time mining and trading. Glad the question was asked.

I'll check that out. Information on the Amazon.co.uk website was very slim as well as any other UK entity. But I suppose using a third party to buy the gift cards is the workaround. I am not at a stage yet where I can sustain life on cryptocurrency. I think my wife would kill me if I tried. But I do have an idea bubbling in the back of my head for an article. So I just need to start saving those coins.
