I agree and they have tried hard but they could really save more if they logged onto this forum!

They are a nice family. The book is good it really explains the 'system'.

sorry to be a spoilsport, its an inspiring programme, but I just watched them making the choc brownies - my first thought was, with all that quality stuff thrown in it is probably cheaper to buy em from Mr T ready made - but hang on a minute - when they went in the oven they were crowded on to the tray rubbing shoulders, when they came out they were in rows of three like soldiers - and looked like a bit of an expensive mess - they need to get twink on the programme. Also - have they mentioned buying veg in season? I don't think so.

Aaaah, a happy ending. With cakes.

Their kids seem so sweet.

Next week: 21k. OMG.

£160 a week now, impressive really. They've halved it in a few weeks.

Yeah, if it weren't for the dessert thing, should be easy to get them from £330 a week to £330 a month

Oooh, good for them, though, they've got down even further to £160 a week on their own after!

Yup, really well done to them :T


Though I'm intrigued. 21k next week - is it gonna get worse every week till the series ends? :think:

Next week is all about food wastage.

I shudder to think that these are real families who don't know any better.
