A woman from Great Britain manages to feed her family of five on just 50 euros a week. Almost exclusively balanced. She shows how to do it on the Internet.
Great Britain – We live in uncertain times. At least that’s how it feels to many right now. A never-ending pandemic has so far dug deep ruts in many areas of life. We are limited. This is also noticeable in the economy (* FR reported). Some of us are therefore forced to save * – even more than we may have already done before Corona.
A mother from Great Britain manages what seems to be an impossibility for some single people: She feeds her family of five, including dog, with the equivalent of 50 euros per week. On her Facebook page, she gives tips on all aspects of saving. In the meantime, her online fan base has grown to more than 75,700 followers.
Frugal mother: preparation instead of spontaneity
“If I didn’t stick to the budget, I would be spending £ 600 a month. That’s how much money my friends spend. Parents often buy their children snacks, ”says Danielle Ross in an interview with metro.co.uk. And because the self-proclaimed “budget queen” knows that a lot of money is spent by snacking frequently, she prepares food packages for her loved ones. Every day, without exception. It depends on the variety: “You can eat sandwiches, but now and then you can have pasta for lunch”.
With her weekly shopping she gives her children a little pocket money “so that they can learn the value of money”. For her husband David that means: renounce. He is not allowed to spend any money on dining out that day and instead brings food from home to work. When shopping, it is also important not to fall for tempting offers. If the housewife and mother make a shopping list, they stick to it. Deviations or spontaneous purchases would cause additional costs. Because the house brands of some supermarkets are often a lot cheaper. Danielle is also passionate about collecting vouchers and coupons to get discounts on groceries and more.
Saver from England: “I’m a completely normal mom”
Danielle’s online community is growing steadily. The British woman is asked for advice almost every day. “I’m not a nutritionist,” she says.
As geldverhaben.de reports, every citizen in Germany spends an average of around 1,240 euros a month, including 171 euros on food and drink. So what Daniele Ross does every day for a family of five is amazing. But doable. “I’m a completely normal mom and it would be nice to start a movement”. * FR is an offer from IPPEN.Media.
