Eat well for less - wed 8pm bbc1

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Let's hope this series will be better then last one

Obviously you will save money if not buying the most exspensive items every week /spending £200/300

How about helping a family who spend £50/60 and need to cut it down even more

Tho do love the taste challenge esp when they say something is disgusting - and it's their usual posh brand 😂😂😂

Muesli bars are that unhealthy?

That looks rank. But I only like chickpeas in hummus.

How does a family of three eat a whole cake a day?!

i think there are 2 older children

Ah, I missed that. But still, that's a massive amount of cake.

Purple there are 2 other older children. But still, that's a lot of cake for one family.

IMHO, it stops being a treat when it's there all the time.

I love this man ally g his eggs "she"!

No one in my house would be happy with a plate of cous course with a few chickpeas and yogurt for dinner! Or a massive sweet potato and a bit of cream cheese! My DH would be happy to eat it, but he'd want a pork chop on the side aswell.

We have baked sweet potatoes a lot but with chilli and salad.

Surely the chicken alone would cost more than £1.30 for each person?

That's how I laugh when I get going...

They're really nice this week.

I love omelettes, frittata and Spanish omelette (though they might be the same thing) the only thing I can't do is put garlic and eggs together, I don't know why but I just can't.

But it's still 10k a year on food.

dillite- I suppose they need to start somewhere- I suspect she will now get as obsessive over saving money, as she did about baking. Which is not a bad thing.

They can save a fortune by pretending their older children don't exist

I knew the savings would be huge, they are a lovely family and when she started laughing so did I

It is still a lot dillite but I reckon she'll cut it down further.

Raahh

Just watched

I said the same about the chicken tikka Marsala. Would cost more the £1.30 for the chicken

Amazing saving but they did spend insane amounts each week

That was a brilliant episode.

The daughter was really sweet.

Enjoyed it tonight, but I was wanting to point her in the direction of B&M or home bargains. heinz beans, Yorkshire tea etc are usually cheaper than the supermarkets.

I felt incredibly sorry for the Mum when she talked about her childhood. Having to eat sugar sandwiches and drink the vinegar left in the pickled onion jar because that's all there was to eat.

She then made a comment about wanting to give her kids the things she did'nt have and to be the sort of Mum that was around for her kids, so I would guess her own Mum either died or was neglectful.

I can understand why she had to have a full fridge and cupboards, there's clearly a deep rooted fear that her kids could ever be that hungry like she was.

Nice to see that she now has an obviously comfortable life, lovely home and family etc.

I felt the same, that mum had suffered as a child and would over indulge her children, to compensate like.

The series is terribly sexist, this one I felt less so. They could afford the bloody food but as a nurturer it could have been better. This family didn't need to save money, it just could have been better nutrition for less money. This show is all about this

I can't stop shouting at the telly. This family really boiled my pee. The amount spent on food was obscene, as was the waste.

And please, not ANOTHER person who can't make a basic tomato sauce.

Watching this catch up on demand. Watches 3 of these now

Seems to always be 3 men having a go at a woman (who also usually works) & berating her to spend more time in kitchen while male partner does nothing.

Seems very sexist. All the men saying 'family' but it's the woman who needs to do lots of extra effort not the dad.

Also the 2 male presenters. Easy to sneer at women in Tesco buying too much. Do they do the supermarket shop and cook 7 days a week for a variety of kids and a wife? Doubt it.

It shocked me how she thought she was doing something amazing by frying an onion and pouring in some ready made passata.

Oh my life!
