The families admit they are worried as bills continue to soar, but say they wouldn't change a thing
With families across the UK facing the nightmare of soaring food bills and crippling fuel costs, imagine how difficult life must be for Scotland’s biggest broods?
Ben, 47, an aircraft engineer with the RAF, said: “The rising cost of living is ridiculously scary and many people are really struggling and having to choose between heat and food. We consider ourselves fortunate as we can pay the food bill and afford the electricity. These should be basic things and not a luxury, which they have become.
Zoe, 44, who gave birth to the couple’s 12th baby six months ago, added: “We are spending around £320 each week on food shopping and the bill just keeps rising. When you go through 14 loaves, 3kg of cereal, 50 bags of crisps and 10kg of fruit and veg in a week, you need to be on your A-game. I try to cook one big main meal a night but everyone has different tastes.
