Manoj and Amy fork out £170 A WEEK on their food shop. They were stunned to be told this, guessing they were spending £70-£100.
People were not happy that the new series was advising people who, in their opinion, didn’t need help.

A third wrote: “How do they not know they are spending over £170 a week on food, more money than sense #SaveMoneyGoodFood.”
