A mom of nine from Australia shares how she manages to feed her family for AU$3.60 (approx. US$2.60) per head a day. Claire Louise Hooker, 35, has revealed how she sticks to a tight budget of AU$1,200 (approx. US$860) each month to feed her family of 11. The stay-at-home mom, from rural Canberra, New South Wales, bulk buys food to feed her brood and has figured out how to make evening meals for as little as AU$20 (approx. US$14). Hooker, a home-school teacher and blogger, and her husband, Mark, 39, a civil service worker, travel nearly 29 miles (47 km) each shopping trip, due to the lack of shops in the area.
The couple, who are originally from Kent, England...

"We have to bulk buy a lot of items like bread, and raw meats including chicken and beef, as we tend to stick to a fortnightly shopping trip, so everything gets stored in my two fridge freezers and two pantries. The stay-at-home mom, from rural Canberra, New South Wales, bulk buys food... "We have to bulk buy a lot of items like bread, and raw meats including chicken and beef, as we tend to stick to a fortnightly shopping trip, so everything gets stored in my two fridge freezers and two pantries."We get plenty of fruit, from oranges, pears, bananas, and mangoes... "Sometimes they'll have toast which is about $1.29 [US$0.90] a loaf, we get about 28 each fortnight, or pancakes too. We actually have our own chickens, so if they want eggs for breakfast, they're free.

"Lunch is usually something quick like cheese or ham sandwiches and some fruit, which comes to about $10 for everyone, we all eat together and discuss the school day." She revealed that she has found the best slow-cooker meals to cook, including pasta bakes and curries, as well as meat-heavy dishes like stews. "We try to go to the beach as much as possible, which is a fun day out for all of us... "The town we live in has lots of play areas for the kids to enjoy, and during the summer we set up a bouncy castle or waterslides for them to enjoy. "We put an extra $1,000[(US$710] aside for Christmas, and budget $50 [US$35] for each child's birthday... Hooker said roast dinners and slow cooker meals always go a long way and are "some of the cheapest budget meals" to make. "We sometimes even have leftovers." Mealtimes are quick and easy in the Hooker household, with everyone helping to prepare, cook, and do the dishes."All of the kids chip in to help make meals throughout the day, so mealtimes... "Breakfasts alternate between cereals like Weetabix, which we can get a few boxes of each month for $10 [US$7], or they'll have a fruit salad."
