A savvy mum-of-11 claims that she's slashed her food bill in half - by feeding her entire family for less than £4 per meal. Michelle Bannon was stunned when she managed to slash her monthly £1,000 food bill for the family-of-13 by almost half to £600 by sticking to Asda's Just Essentials range.
The 36-year-old decided to become more inventive when she started 'feeling the pinch' due to soaring prices and now feeds her large family for under £4 per meal. The maternity consultant posts her budget meals on social media to show other mums that there's no shame in ditching branded items and buying the brightly-packaged value products.
Michelle says mechanical engineer husband Craig Bannon, 38, and children Chloe, 18, Charley, 14, Emily, 13, Lacey, 11, Libby, nine, Ollie, eight, Lottie, seven, Connie, five, Joey, three, Jessie, two, Jorgie, one, can't taste the difference. Hearty meals include fishcakes, home-made chips and mixed veg cost just £3.91 while she managed to feed her family of 13 a sausage pasta dish that set her back just £3.36.
