She needs to learn that cheap doesn’t always equal better. What you save in money often ends up costing you, either financially or in a different way. Poundland homeware will break or wear out easily and repeated purchasing is more expensive (and wasteful) than buying one good quality item. Likewise with food, the most nutritionally lacking, sugar and saturated fat dense foods are generally the cheapest. For £1 you could get a bag of salad or bunch of bananas, or you could get a big bar of chocolate or bag of donuts. The unhealthy options work out much, much cheaper per calorie, but that doesn’t mean you should opt for them - especially if you claim to have a six figure income. She claims to be well off and has a thumb tum, so she should absolutely be choosing to buy the more expensive, nutrient dense, low sugar & fat food. The smaller quantity should not be a factor as she shouldn’t be eating much anywaySo the meal deal with the higher fat and sugar content worked out better value for money. That’s great I’m sure it did but for the sake of saving a few pence over the healthier choice. I’d have picked up a Florette bowl, the chicken and a bottle of water, Emma’s not scraping around for the pennies we are led to believe
