[Blondeshavemorefun]

I’m hoping tomorrow is a new Episode

not Greg and Chris

has grey left ?

triplets

have we seen triplets before

obv aa usual they will spend silly money on food and be amazed that they can save

and as always someone will say that their usual favourite brand is rank 😂😂

Evening.
Not understanding how they afford their lifestyle if they're both in social care, even with the woman running her own business.

I like this family but £9k on takeaways

I hate cereal but if I had to eat cereal it'd be bran flakes (counts down to pending holiday with dparents where it'll be daily bran flakes)

The kids had a really good varied appetite and so cute. Least they are not fussy.

The kids in last night's family were great - really enjoyed everything they ate!

Lovely kids and unfussy

mussels and pasta

tho if cooking for kids why not make double and heat up late for theirselves

again some nice meals

curry
pasties
fish pie

hooe she sees their giraffes

I think the dad this week must be one of those people who is constantly fidgeting and always on the go. Given his pasty lunches and takeaway dinners and him being so slim.
Was so jealous.

Average food shop for a family of 4 - £88 per week.

How is this possible?! I must be doing something wrong

I always wonder where they get these stats from. I am not wasteful, meal plan, budget, shop at the cheap places and still spend more than what they say. Maybe they estimate based on no treats at all? Or no convenience foods at all? I don’t know but they always seem a bit unrealistic.

Is that just for food or do they include loo roll, laundry, cleaning, toiletries etc

I think I spend less than £88 (it’s hard to say because I do a main shop in Tesco for around £70 plus we use a milkman for eggs, juice and milk - that varies from £8-15 and a refill shop where I probably spend £20 every 3 weeks or so, so not all in one shop) but I don’t eat meat and don’t buy much for everyone else, I don’t drink but dh buys beer occasionally for himself. I meal plan and we eat a lot of pulses and take advantage of offers. I go to Asian shops every now and again and bulk buy rice (£7 for a big sack), pulses and spices or get them from the refill shop which works out cheaper. I am lucky to live in an area with those shops available. Some of the spending on the show is insane, I find that less likely than the £88!

I wonder that too actually because obviously the program is focussed on food so probably doesn’t account for toiletries, cleaners etc. Still seems a bit low for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks etc for 4 people for 7 days.

It must just be food - and I notice it said prices correct as of Summer 2021 so it's probably a lot more now isn't it!

I would like a meal plan for a week to feed a family for 4. 2 adults. 2 kids

is that’s 2 toddlers. 2 10yr. 2 teens

Not on tonight. Has it now finished

There's a break for a week

Coz of tennis @Wolfcub ?

So annoying. Going to try the new thriller on c4 instead.

Oh. What thriller

blondes loves a thriller

Oh, sorry blondes, didnt see you there. It's a 'cyber threat will bring the world to a grinding halt' thing on c4, set in, so far, GCHQ. Bit of a slow start but we'll see. The Undeclared War.

@newnamethanks I did see they advertised but I wasn’t sure looked that good

Back on this week but on Wednesday 8pm

Anyone watch this week

It wasn't listed where I am. Will check iPlayer.

I looked on iplayer but it wasn't there, even though I did see it in the TV section of the weekend paper.

I've just looked again and you can see the BBC schedule from 2 days ago, which now shows that it was replaced by a Panorama episode about 'The Downfall of Boris Johnson'. Mystery solved.
