Yes that's what I'm thinking. Who has the time to rush from Asda to Tesco to Lidl to Aldi every week?

I don't personally think anyone would have that time unless they are all together which is very unlikely

I think the point being made is you can buy own brand rather than branded goods.. not literally that they have to buy Waitrose branded ketchup rather than sainsburys because that's the one that was swapped in the show. The idea being that most people can't actually tell the difference in their everyday food once the label has been removed.

Today I was confused by their constant use of honey - I don't understand how honey is any better than sugar? Surely it comes into the category of "free sugars" and doesn't have any other nutritional benefits (unlike e.g. fruit to sweeten food)? Also, the sauce she made for that pork dish looked really unhealthy - salty and sugary.

We were watching it and thought that about the pork dish and also noticed some of the pork was still pink. Honey can be good and bad at same time so I understand what you mean

You don't have to go to all shops every week though. If you have things you like from different shops, just go Tesco one week, Asda the next week and Waitrose the week after or whatever - works fine for anything non perishable, long use by date, or anything that can be frozen. Or if you do a top up shop, go to a different shop for that.

You can also get delivery from different shops and that has the added advantage that if you rotate between different shops, if you haven't used one particular shop for a few weeks, they often send money off vouchers to tempt you back. So you can get into a cycle of 'I shop at Sainsburys this week because they're giving me a tenner off my shopping'.

Why do all of these parents seem to give into their children and their fussy eating habits? 🙄
