EAT WELL FOR LESS - wed bbc1 8pm

[Blondeshavemorefun]

I do love this show but they ALWAYS choose families who spend stupid money anyway so saving 50/80/100 a week is easy

Wonder if they will ever use a family who spend 60 a eeek and went to reduce to 40/50 and that £10/20 really help the family

But I still love it

Well it's eating disorder central on Eat Well for Less this week. 10 minutes in, and it's SO clear that the mother has a seriously dysfunctional relationship with food.

I’ve turned over and I know she’ll just get on my nerves.

Yep painfully thin, very small portions, hates anything to do with food.

Worrying.

Between this week and last week they need to be more careful what families they're choosing.

£350!!!!!
Just how?

It is crazy money for v little food.

It's just me and dd (16) at home we're closer to £50 a week, although I alternate a big shop with a smaller shop fortnightly. So £70 one week £30 the interim week.

I don't think she is painfully thin at all, she looks like a perfectly healthy weight to me. I do agree she doesn't really seem to enjoy food, cooking it or eating it (or shopping for it)

She must be eating very little food if her diet is really made up of muffins, chocolate, snack foods. I have sympathy for her being unable to cook - it's really hard to get into it if you don't enjoy it.

Would an online order not be much better?!

I think it is a pity that she has wasted so much time and money going to the garage for meals. But I think she will be OK. She has never cooked a roast chicken !!!

Haha good point re online shop why has she never tried that?!

She's never cooked ANYTHING. Everything is bought from the M&S at the petrol station.

I love this programme.

I was also thinking ‘do an online shop ffs!’

Awww her reaction at the price of 3 days shopping in a normal supermarket.

I did wonder why they didn't suggest online shopping if she hates going to the supermarket so much.

Awww I bet the end of this one will be really good and she will have gained son much

A potential saving of 14k a year! Fucking hell!

What job does she do? She must earn loads to spend like that.

I do an online shop & try & spend £40 every 8-10 days, so I get delivery. If its over £40, I take stuff out of the basket.

She must have been spending that a day!

Fucking hell indeed - £14k on just two peoples food!!

She owns a dance school! Good on her for recognising the need to sort her issues out!

Really glad to find this thread.

A McDonalds every day is not promoting healthy eating if she is into dance!

She may well be promoting her dance school in the process

I found this really hard to believe. She didn’t seem real to me.

No,
Although I can believe she finds it hard to cook for two but she did not look believable.

She was performing for the camera within minutes things starting.
