A couple who have 11 children have shared their top tips to make the most of their monthly income.
Joanne and Tommy O'Rourke have to make the most of their £2,000 combined monthly income as they face the cost-of-living crisis head-on with their 11 children, aged two to 19, all in one four-bedroom home. Their energy bills have now soared to £800 a quarter, double of what they were a year ago.
The weekly trip to the supermarket, which includes 15 loaves of bread, 42 pints of milk and a kilogram of pasta, has doubled to £760 a month. The pair, who are both in work, are now fearing the worst for the winter.
