Eat Well For Less

yes, but most of the stuff on their site isn't what I'd call healthy food - lots of sweets fizzy drinks crisps etc. So not much help if you are looking for healthy food.

Jamie and Jimmy mentioned gleaning on Friday, http://www.feeding5k.org/gleaning.php/
the organisation helps provide food for people in difficulty. Great if you have time to spare.

That's very true Mum, though some of the store cupboard things are worth it. Depending what day you login... Their fruit and veg are at market prices, so I'd rather go talk to a stall holder than be ordering that online. You can get really good deals from traders, particularly at the end of the day.

I cringed when I saw how the dad just threw things in the cart without having any idea how to use them or what they tasted like. I can understand trying something new once but tossing anything and everything in willy nilly like that could end up becoming an expensive and wasteful habit 😧

I watched this today and was shocked, until I remembered they would hardly make a TV programme about people who shop economically and sensibly 

Mind you, I was also shocked that the idea of "Eating Well" included such stuff as coke such like

I think the woman in the programme is like  a lot of people I used to come across at work -- not much idea how to cook but perfectly capable once they had been shown how. I liked that aspect of the programme a lot 

Yeah, I had to remind myself that it is TV after all, where extremes are the norm.

Two kids, one who was having treatment for leukemia. Over £300 a week on food. Throwing away good solid veg as she said it was past it's use by date...they don't have use by, it's best before. Perfect food going in the bin. Money to burn, made me want to scream. But it has to be down to education, they were bright people.

As for the strawberries, I'm sorry, but frozen and thawed strawberries are not the same as fresh. But that was nothing to do with the family. She was really open to suggestion after trying stuff she never would have in the past. Nice family, but if they really had an interest in food they would watch more consumer programmes and would know more.
