Live well for less

[Heatherbell1978]

Anyone watching? I can't get over this family! 6 kids and they must spend a fortune!! I want to know what their monthly outgoings are....

I'm watching, the house must be really big with all that stuff and people.

All those shoes and Apple products!

I kinda agree with her regarding a tumble drier.

3k a year on contracts. Did I hear that right?

I very nearly fainted off when they said they had 3 sets of twins .

Tumble dryer is fair enough but I can't get over the branded clothes and the fact that the toddlers have 36 pairs of shoes between them...huh? This family must earn a packet to afford all this.

What job does he do, the telly is £480 cheaper , however much did theirs cost.

Love this show.

Am always amazed though at other folk's spending - i am a cheapskate very thrifty

Why not hang the laundry outside? It looked to be good weather.

I think so far I've got their monthly outgoing at an estimated £650.
That's just contacts, tv/internet, gas and electricity. No mortgage or food spends.

I'm loving this also, did you just see the big room with the guitars and telly
But what is their household income.

I do love these shows. OH and I are quite frugal and he is very good with money (I'm too impulsive!). I tend to have a judgy hour, I just can't fathom why people spend so much money on unnecessary things. Like Hunter wellies.

Gendered pens!

And how on Earth can you spend 45 minutes in the shower?

I think the Dad is an Events Organiser. Pretty sure that's what was said at the start.

Surely those twin girls will be grown out of all those shoes within less than a year, what a waste, it was almost like the shoes were ornaments

Why do these programmes never help low income families? The ones who struggle to buy their kids a winter coat or pay the council tax. It always seems to be families with a large income who spend carelessly.

I found an article after the third set of twins were born and she lectures in dance.

Yes, unbelievable about shoes. They do seem to have money to burn.

45 minutes in the shower.

Why can't she line dry the washing some of the time.

I'm agog at their branded cleaning products... bleach is bleach!

If they bought that fairly big house in Scotland about 20 years ago their mortgage is probably not that high

Gosh I've missed this - will have to catch up on iplayer later!

I think they said soak, so it must have been the bath.

Crazy spending!!

I love this programme, didn't realise it was back on though so missed the first half. I am always amazed by how much people spend on stuff, and also how they all tend to think only branded will do. There is very little branded food I buy though, and then it only tends to be when it is on offer. I can't imagine going into a shop and always buying the same brand regardless of the price!

And how on Earth can you spend 45 minutes in the shower?

Speak to my DH. He is the King of long showers.

Yeh, another family that doesn't actually need help. They have enough money but no self control.

36 bloody pairs of shoes for 2 kids who will outgrow them in 6 months. Ridiculous.

What face creams was the wife using?
