How much would you spend to feed a family of four for a week? $150? $200? 300?
For many New Zealand families, a food budget like that is a distant dream.
So how do you feed a family on a wafer-thin budget?
South Auckland charity “Feed a Family” shows us how it can be done.
In a special NZ Herald Focus, Tristram Clayton visits a South Auckland supermarket with Vance and Jasmine McPhee, founders of the 'Feed a Family' charitable trust.
The trust and associated Facebook page launched three years ago as a way for them to share their own struggles to feed theirfive kids.
It has since become a popular forum for the many families in similar to share their stories and their tips. They explain their strategy when it comes to shopping on a budget, while still feeding their family healthy and nutritious food.
