Food bills are soaring up and down the country as the cost of living crisis escalates. But an Altrincham family has discovered a way to slash their food bills while enjoying delicious meals - insisting they spend just £5 a month in the supermarket.
Jim Parums, 32, used to watch his grandmother Anne, 84, pick mushrooms when he was a youngster. Now, he is passing on the art of foraging to his family - wife Kat, 35, and their two young daughters aged three and one.
For every meal they eat, the Parums family use ingredients grown in their garden or foraged from local woods. Jim says it leaves the family needing to buy just pasta and olive oil from the supermarket, at a cost of £5 a month.
