A woman let her 12-year-old son do the big food shop at Asda and revealed the items he choose. Kelly Miller Richards son Vinnie wants to be a chef when he grows up and so took the task seriously.
She challenged him to buy ingredients for five evening meals for the entire family, with a budget of £50. Kelly took to Facebook to share her son's success.
She wrote: "So I gave my son Vinnie a challenge, I told him to do a shop and make five meals out of £50 for five of us... and he has pulled it off on only £36.14. (He gets to keep the change). He added fruit, water and milk in as well. He also cooked his first meal tonight was lovely.
"The meals are spag bol with crusty bread, chicken korma with rice, a cooked breakfast, crispy chicken wraps with salad and chips, and a spaghetti carbonara. He wants to be a chef when he's older, I am so proud of him twelve years old and doing this," [sic] the Liverpool Echo reports.
One mum said: "I love this idea, I think I might challenge my 14-year-old to do this".
Another said: "Please could I borrow him! He's better than my husband!", and a third said: "Can I just say this is absolutely brilliant I did similar with my son who wanted to be a chef! His 23 now and did make it as a pro chef".
