I got second hand embarrassment watching it and shock Danny drinking no doubt his full price rum and coke.
I used to like Helen and enjoy her videos, and her weekly aldi shopping haul I used to think there was never much in the way of treats for the kids I.e some crisps and a biscuit unless it was for pack up, but other than that she used to have a good weekly aldi haul and her meals didn't look too bad either.
But I find it hard to tolerate her now with the tightness when it comes to the kids. The Christmas shop was absolutely ridiculous. You'd think with it being Christmas and her having some extra pennies that she's clearly saved from buying the yellow labels she'd treat them to some nice food goodies for over Christmas, but nope still tight as always. Or buy the kids some nice and new clothes with the money she has saved from her yellow label hauls, instead of the washed out tat she buys from the charity shops.
I remember when she was pregnant with Ella and she passed down Ollys clothes, pram etc to Ella I remember thinking surely you'd want to buy some new bits considering she was having a girl she so badly wanted. You don't have to spend a fortune I bought my daughters silver Cross pram second hand for under £100, it was beautiful and I loved it, but I never thought to keep my two boys prams incase I had a daughter I wanted to have the experience of buying for my first girl.
I was watching an old video of them on holiday the other day and even on holiday they were in charity shops to spend the kids money they got from their nan.
Again there is absolutely nothing wrong with buying yellow labels or second hand clothing toys etc, I like a yellow label and have bought second hand on many occasions, but I wouldn't think to only buy fruit and veg when they're on yellow label when they're cheap enough to buy. Helen just does it because she's so bloody tight.
She also has an older food shop video full of yellow label meats etc and she said oh getting all of this in my freezer will be like a game of tetrus
She has freezers full of meat etc, but continues to buy yellow labels when those yellow labels could genuinely feed someone who's on the bones of their arse.
The money she saves on yellow labels clearly isn't going on the kids. I'm sure she'll recieve child benefit for Liam, Olly and Ella. Unless Danny's earnings are over the threshold that will make them not entitled to child benefit and tax credits.
And I'm sure she'll charge Cameron for board money as well.
Does anyone else find it odd that Cameron is a 20 year old young man but he still spends all of his spare time with his family? Not that there's anything wrong with that of course I just mean it appears he is never out with friends, or doing his own thing?
