Family spending £600 a week on food swap lives with mum who has to feed kids cereal for dinner on Rich House, Poor House
A FAMILY who spend £600 a week on food were left “feeling like peasants” when they traded budgets with a struggling single mum.
“Healthy eating isn’t cheap, we would spend with supermarket shopping, takeaways in the vicinity of £600 a week on food.” “Inside I feel angry, a failure” she says, “Obviously I’ve got kids so I keep going for them but at the same time they must see me as a failure.”Weronika gets to work cleaning it up, but dons some protective clothing before she does soEager to experience how the other half lives, the families swap houses, schedules and budgets for one week.
“I feel like a peasant, eating bread” says James, while across town the Woods enjoy a rare takeaway pizza.While the Woods stay in their sprawling Victoria house in BournemouthOn the second day Larissa, joined by brother Connor, splashes out on a £100 climbing experience for him and Kobie while the Lees get to grips with their shoestring budget.
In a hope to find some healthier produce Damien drives further afield to a supermarket - leaving the family with just £1.68 after a second shop. A reflective Damien says: “It’s not about money, it’s about time, it’s about playing with them, actually I’m the one who’s got the problem, not them.”
