      @@Danielle-pt7we Our kids have plenty amazing memories of living in outback Australia, country victoria (with our son) and now by the beach (also with our daughter). Our food is super fresh and bought from Henry's fresh food in Frankston and fresh wholesale butchers. We snap-freeze meals, which takes that fresh food and actually locks the goodness in. We say yes to our children a lot. We inspire them to do amazing stuff every day. Cleaning is part of our day, and despite popular belief here, not all of our day. Our kids are into fitness (because I'm a runner), photographers (the entire family take amazing photos), soccer players, mountain bike riders, hikers, campers, guitarists, lovers of music, art and many more amazing pursuits. We are creators and dreamers. We inspire our kids to be amazing. They will certainly not look back on their lives as a life full of no's. We went on Wife Swap to have a fun and amazing adventure. And, a fun and amazing adventure we had. Say hello to Carrum Downs for us!!!!

    Kelly’s kids are so ill-mannered and disrespectful half the time while on the other hand Penina’s kids are well mannered and grateful however they can benefit from fresh meals and fun family time. Both families are not entirely bad they just need to find a balance between saving and having fun.

      Penina, loosen up a tad. Your kids are responsible so reward them with allowing them to choose either a home made dinner once a week or a fun family night out to dinner at least twice a month. Doesn't have to be expensive but not so cheap either.
      Kellie, No frozen sandwiches, a reasonable budget, help with chores by kids and plan for a fun family vacation when kids are out of school for summer. Put aside an emergency fund stash for unexpected medical or vehicle bills or pay a little extra on household bills or college for kids each month.

Ultimately a balance between the two is best. Spoiled brats with no chores are awful. And no fun ever sucks too. If they enjoy the cleaning then that's a good thing, really.

I’ve bought a weeks worth of shopping with fresh ingredients, drinks and household items every single week and it’s cost me £70 at the most. Frankly it’s better to spend a fortune on fresh food that’s actually nice .

    Panina CLEARLY gets a kick out of making people miserable. “They’re not my kids, so I don’t care how they feel”, “suck it up kids”, “bad cop, bad cop Panina” AS SHE SMIRKS, “suck it up buttercup”. Then belittling the children as they clean and follow her rules; yes structure and budgeting is good, but getting joy out of making people upset or angry just because she thinks she’s always right is completely unfair… especially when she’s not right. I agree Kellie spends too much each month, but she is correct when it comes to Panina making her kids miserable. The fact that she doesn’t care how she makes Kellies kids feel but expects Kellie to treat her kids right. She’s SO snobby and looks down her nose on everyone, quite literally. And frozen sandwiches!? 🤢🤢🤢 I’d never heard of such a thing! Who the hell freezes sandwiches 🤢 and her friends are just as snobby. Panina literally left Kellie’s house thinking she was the best goddamn thing to walk the Earth and she had life’s answers all figured out. Kellie’s family aren’t good enough for her which is disgusting. All her freezing matches her frozen heart and demeanour. Even her husband was relieved and happy to be relaxing for the weekend (not the money spending obviously 😂). Having a fun day with the kids once a month isn’t a bad thing, days out don’t even have to cost anything!! It could just be going to the park and playing board games! And at the end when Panina “stirred the pot”, as the voice over said, and she went on about money and budgeting and then SMILING AND LAUGHING when Kellie and Kellie’s husband started a heated discussion. She’s just evil. I’m glad she cried at the end realising Kellie genuinely cared about her kids and didn’t treat them like crap like she did with Kellie’s children. Yes Kellie’s children have a bit to go with their attitude, but they are kids and a teenager, I was a nightmare as a teen 😭 I’d be binning all of those frozen sandwiches 🤢 saving for a caravan is such a good idea; my mum and Dad have a campervan and have lived their dreams in it!

    I am someone who grew up with parents who had no money and we lived pay check to pay check.

Chores for the kids are fine. But fresh food is also something that should be considered

      As someone who does a fair amount of freezing (blame warm weather plus limited budget) it’s pretty good for things like meat, bread, and certain types of vegetables. The important thing to remember is that, when you freeze something, especially in the average home freezer, you are causing tiny ice crystals to form in the food. These ice crystals can then lead to microscopic tears and cell damage (it’s the same mechanism behind frostbite but this time on a rhubarb). Now, while it’s usually not a problem (heck, you can actually exploit it to get some pretty nice steaks and carrots) it’s something to keep in mind so you don’t turn certain things into a chewy mush. Additionally, there’s also the method of de-frosting (as a general rule, defrosting in the fridge is best, defrosting at room temperature is alright- mostly due to the risk of bacteria growth in certain cases, and defrosting in the microwave is the devils taint). I know I really rambled there but, hey, if it helps a person save money while also making sure their food doesn’t taste like crap then why not.
