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.
