Trolls call me ‘pathetic’ for spending £2k/month on groceries when I live in a council house – my kids eat branded food

ACCORDING to data by Nimble Fins, the average monthly food bill for a family-of-four in the UK is just under £700.

However, one single mum recently left social media users gobsmacked after revealing she allegedly forks out an eye-watering £2,000 on groceries to feed herself and her five kids.

Amy, who lives in a four bedroom council house, admitted that her ”grocery bill is waaay too high” and some people even wondered if there was a live-in chef whipping up scrumptious dishes.

The only chef living in the property, Amy said, was her, as there are some days where she’d be cooking ”three different meals” in the evening.

The cleaning fan, who faced backlash after uploading her previous video of the fridge restock, also explained that her five kids will simply refuse to ”eat whatever” even if they’re hungry.

”I don’t know why but all five are just like that,” she said, adding her children only eat ”branded food”.

”They only have to sniff a Cuthbert the Caterpillar to know it is not a Colin and they just refuse, so I shop at M&S.”

Although some shoppers may assume that Marks & Spencer is not the most budget-friendly option for groceries, Amy insisted ”there isn’t much price difference compared to Tesco”.

She continued raving about the shop: ”The quality is so much better. Honestly, give it a go.

”I’ll never not use them,” the mum wrote in the caption of the video, where she was seen with several bags filled with food, bottled water and milk chocolate.

The huge monthly haul is also topped up throughout the week, when the parent heads to B&M to snap up ”more crisps and snacks” once the supplies are running low.

”I also top up on fruit veg milk and bread a couple of times also,” Amy said in the comments, adding she gets ”weirded out by reheating food”, especially when it comes to meat.

But while her kids are sure to enjoy the branded food, the reaction amongst TikTok users was slightly different, with dozens commenting on the extortionate grocery bill.

”Even if you can afford it that is just pathetic. greedy and not shopping correctly 24k a year on food I think is a bit exaggerated,” thought one person, with more than 550 others giving the comment a ”like”.

Another slammed Amy, writing: ”That’s ridiculous, 500 per week on food ? I’d like to see the receipt.”

How to save cash on your food shop

Money saving experts at HSBC UK have revealed their top tips to saving cash on your food shop.

1. Set a budget
Creating a budget will help to stretch your budget. Start by working out how much you spent on food over the last three months, then each month you get paid, set aside a certain amount for food.

2. Plan your meals
Make a list of your main meals for the coming week, including the ingredients you need, and stick to it. Don’t get drawn into offers for things that you don’t need. If you already have some food leftover from the week before, try to see what you can do with that first.

3. Think about when and where you shop
It’s best to shop on a full stomach so you don’t get tempted. Shopping less often can help you to think about what you buy and it may help you to stick to your budget.

4. Go online
Shopping online is a good and easy way to manage your budget. It can also help to track expenses, whilst also preventing impulse buys.

”I don’t even make 2g a month,” a third said.

But not everyone was shaming the mum-of-five, with one kind viewer doing some maths.

”Ok so people need to be realistic. £2000 a month, that’s £460 a week, divided by 7 days £66 a day, divide by 7 people that’s £9.40 a day per person.

”I don’t think that’s too unreasonable if it covers all meals, snacks, drinks, toiletries etc.”

”Don’t know why people are bothered it’s your money,” another chimed in.

”I agree I shop at M&S and waitrose and the price isn’t much different and I’d rather pay a bit extra for nicer food,” a third fan of the stores said.
