She’s spent months slagging us of for being tight “Tory” witches just because we’re not wiping our arses with grifted £50 notes for a laugh, and now she’s regurgitating all of our suggestions and passing them off as an epiphany. She’ll be subscribing to one streaming service at a time next, and making out like it was all her own smart idea.

What a dimwit! How did it take her 45 years to reach a point where it’s a revelation that *checks notes* buying the bigger cheese and wrapping it up is more economical than buying multiple small cheeses (probably per week)?

I almost guarantee this is all lip service. She’s trying to portray herself as the most sensible of all the sensible spenders who ever spent sensibly.

She’ll be claiming she barely ever spends a penny on anything that isn’t completely imperative to their survival, just so that next time she puts out a beg she can be like, “BUT I AM SO CAREFUL WITH MY MONEY AND YET IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO STRETCH AS FAR AS THE BABIES SCHOOL CLOTHES! GTTO!”

It usually works out cheaper, Sarah, but you need to check the price per 100g or 100ml on the shelf edge label. For instance, I normally buy the big 2.5l bottles of dettol laundry cleanser (my cycling gear needs a lower temperature wash than I think is entirely hygienic), but the smaller bottles were on special offer last week so two small bottles was cheaper than one big one.

stead on there, don’t confuse her!

she just had an epiphany about buying cheese or sumink
 
I can’t work out if she’s trying to be more frugal or not?

If my kids “needed” a new £50 Xbox controller I’d tell them they “needed” to save up for one.

The way she will just fork out on luxury items on a whim for them is sickening. They will never learn the value of money, they will never learn to be grateful for what they have, they’ll never look after the things they have if they think it’s all so easily replaceable, they’ll grow up to be just like her holding their grubby mitts out for handouts.

Give them some chores to do. Make them earn it. Be a proper parent ffs.

My one with her is the chargers. I swear my two eat phone and laptop chargers. All hell broke loose the other day because my youngest broke his phone charger and I told him he would have to save his pocket money for a new one (I know they are not expensive but honestly guys the way my kids go through them). My eldest ended up having a clear out a few days later and finding a spare which she gave to him which is about as out of character as Tom helping Jerry. But before that I wasn’t giving in and he had to cope with borrowing our ones. It might sound harsh but how else is he going to learn to not leave them at school/his mates/break them?
 
The way she's going on endlessly about that spaghetti thing just shows that it's the only thing she's 'cooked' in years. I'd love to see what they all eat in a normal week. Truly, and I mean this, good for her if she's decided to start doing some meal planning and cooking - it's what we've been saying for ages - but there are so many resources she could be using (free) rather than asking a quite large Twitter audience who clearly have her on mute.
 
This Temu game, whatever it is, has really got its claws into her.

I fell into that trap once, downloaded a match three game and started playing, and before I knew it, it was about 1 in the morning. Fortunately I didn't pay any money, and I uninstalled it shortly after.

I don't play games on my phone any more, they become a massive time sink far too easily, especially if they are holding out the promise of actual cash rewards.
