Just a reminder that this fab programme is back

That people who spend £100’s a week amazingly reduce their shopping bill 😂😂

Assuming new series. Hope it is

Greg and Chris help a mum And her two boys Ditch the micro meals

What fabulous meals will they cook

What will they swap

And will they have the usual - I don’t like that - and it’s their usual brand 😂😂😂😂

Love this show. What a lovely family, the mum is amazing

Monstermissy36 · 08/09/2020 20:36

Mum is just lovely and positive 😀

ChesterDrawsDoesntExist · 08/09/2020 20:36

This is one time when I saw the ready meals and though... "Hmm... fair enough. That woman is needing the easy meals!"

Usually it's people doing stupid stuff like buying pre cut cauliflower and Broccoli for £2 when they could buy 5x as much of uncut for a quid. Or worse, buying bags and bags of cut carrots for her carrot snacking kids instead of cutting them up themselves. It takes less than a minute!

You'll never convince me Choco Snaps are anything like Coco pops though. Greg would be kicked out of my kitchen for that substitute. Ugh.

Oh thanks op, didn't realise it was back so just turned it on Smile

lastqueenofscotland · 08/09/2020 20:45

Helping a lady cut down on a £100 a week shop is so much more relatable than people spending over £1k a month

Liking the eco bit

Wolfcub · 08/09/2020 20:47

Her kids are lovely too. What pleasant and polite kids

dillite · 08/09/2020 20:53

Why does Greg always shout at everything? Someone's standing 2 feet away and yet his voice is set to 100 decibels.

Also, he is a chef, right? Why is he amazed over simple recipes by the other guy?

P.s. I really don't like the man.

maverickallthetime · 08/09/2020 20:56

@dillite he's a grocer not a chef!

Lurleene · 08/09/2020 21:01

I really enjoyed that episode, what a lovely warm family and they really gave it a good go. I hope they get their holiday.

Tomorrowisanewday · 08/09/2020 21:03

I usually watch this so I can rant at the TV, but that family was lovely. Surely there are organisations that could help them?

The younger boy came across as such a credit to his mum, but he had such sad eyes, he nearly made me cry Sad

Anyone else notice that they seem to have done away with the nutritionist woman?

PotholePalace · 08/09/2020 21:08

Loved her children, I'd be proud if they were mine. I keep meaning to try cooking savoury muffins.

Carriemac · 08/09/2020 21:08

Lovely family with a lot on their plate - BUT she's eating herself into an early grave . That shop is shocking . I understand the ready meals and honestly I'd be the same but the sugar and crap is terrible
And they need an adapted holiday from somebody for free - can't think of a moe deserving family

PickwickThePlockingDodo · 08/09/2020 21:39

Lovely family tonight. Same as everyone else I'm usually shouting at the tv but I couldn't blame her although she could've dished up some veg with the ready meals.

I was in awe of the 11yr old knocking up the pasta bake, he could teach my teens a thing or two.

I also liked the eco bit, things need to change big time in the supermarkets, I got a swede wrapped in plastic from my asda delivery today - no bloody need Angry

Yes we were wondering where she had gone

Just want to gift them a holiday , such a lovely family.

Didn’t even notice the woman nitro wasn’t there 😂

The kids are awesome - neither of them wouldn't give something a try. Even the microwave frittata, which looked really rank.

Where is Pria?

doadeer · 08/09/2020 22:33

What a lovely mum... Made me feel like crying ❤️

jay55 · 08/09/2020 22:47

Love tonight's family.
I thought the youngest was quite inventive with his mousse and cream GrinGrinbut his face tasting the pulled pork was the best part.

I need the recipe for that

Wasn’t it literally chopped onion. Turkey leg and some kind of sauce

The family were lovely. The little boy declaring everything flipping gorgeous made me smile. He seems so much more mature than my 11yo. There is a charity called Family Fund that will pay towards holidays amongst other things, hope the family get the holiday they deserve.

Deathraystare · 09/09/2020 13:25

Surely there must be groups /charities that would help out with holidays and go on an adapted one for her eldest

I was thinking the same thing! The mum seems to be cheerful, but no wonder she went through so many snacks!
