Chloe Ferry shows of massive M&S Food haul as she manages to bag a week’s worth of food at discount price
CHLOE Ferry has shown off her massive M&S Food haul and fans claim she has a “Mary Poppins bag” filled with bargains.
The reality star, 29, revealed that she would usually head to Morrisons for her weekly food shop but instead tried Marks & Spencer‘s to see what they had to offer.
Chloe, who is a big fan of microwave meals that have really low calories, showed her 953,600 TikTok followers which she got as an alternative to what she would usually get from Morrisons.
She pulled out a beef lasagne which has 336 calories, a beef ragu with 556 calories, creamy roast mushroom tagliatelle, with 300 calories, and a ham pizza with 553 calories.
The Geordie Shore star also managed to get discount items including a chicken risotto.
She says: “I like Marks and Spencers but it is quite pricey.
“The original price [for the chicken risotto] was £4.25, but I got that reduced to £3.06.”
Chloe carried on emptying out her huge shopping bag which also included a chicken curry, stir fry stuff, teriyaki sauce, coronation coleslaw, cucumber, vegetables and beef wellington.
She continues: “Love a beef wellington, I’ve had some before from Marks & Sparks and it is absolutely gorgeous.”
And her shopping haul didn’t stop there, as Chloe continued to pull more food items out of her bag.
These included: garlic bread, Yorkshire puddings, roasted garlic mayonnaise, jacket potatoes, tuna and sweetcorn, cheesy salad, wraps, avocado, tin foil, four cheese ravioli calories, red cabbage, chilli noodles, bread, buns, milk, oat milk, eggs, and dog food.
She revealed that her food shop came to £136.
Chloe continues: “Normally when I go shopping, I spend around 80 to £100 for a week’s shopping, but yeah that was everything.”
Her video quickly gained over 383,000 views with many people praising Chloe for showing off her shopping haul.
And despite her fame status, fans applauding her for getting discounted items.
One wrote: “I love how Chloe Ferry is still good for a reduced item!”

In the first series, the group had no idea that they were being watched by their children.

Let’s take a look at who is featuring on series two.

Meet handsome dad Chris, 47, and his beloved daughter Ava, 17.
Hailing from Kingston upon Hull, he is a property director and restaurant bar owner.
Since his divorce, Chris has admitted to enjoying the freedom of single life but has started to feel the loneliness that he’s never really felt before.
His daughter, Ava, wants him to let his guard down, something he struggles to do in relationships, and let someone in.
Chris would really like to settle down with the right person, closer to his own age and thinks The Retreat is the perfect space to do that.
Asked why he had signed up to My Mum, Your Dad, he told ITV: “I did watch the first series.
“We then saw it mentioned on TV and social media, my kids said that they were going to apply.
“I’ve been single since splitting with my kids’ mother so it was an opportunity to meet someone really and a different way of doing it.”
Student Ava added: “He definitely needs someone who’s easy going, someone who can make him laugh and doesn’t take themselves seriously.
“That’s so important for my dad.
“He needs someone who fits in well with his family and friends. He needs someone who is going to add to his life and improve it.”
Clare and Aimee
Clare, 53, from West Sussex is joined by her daughter Aimee, 26.
Her marriage to her daughter’s dad broke down after 26 years and she said that after her children had “flown the nest“, she felt lost.
She said that she finds it harder to spot red flags on dating apps and has become skeptical in her approach to men.
Clare said: “I’ve had two relationships since my divorce which unfortunately haven’t worked and I’ve spoken to Aimee about.
“We are very similar, we understand each other. She’s told me to watch out for those red flags!”
Clare, who works as a charity volunteer and homemaker, spoke about how she became single: “I never wanted to be in this situation. No one ever wants to get divorced when they get married.
“I find it sad but I’m hopeful that I will meet the right person for me.
“I do want to get married again, I want to settle down.”
Aimee is a brand manager from West Sussex and believes her mum struggles to find love because she “puts everyone else first”.
She said that she doesn’t have any friends who have divorced parents, so is looking forward to meeting the other grown-up children.
Andy and Issy
Andy, 50, from South Staffordshire has spent years looking after his elderly parents and his daughters.
But now the property investor’s kids are all grown up he realised that he’s spending a lot of time on his own and is looking for good company.
Speaking about why he decided to go on the show, he said: “I watched it with my mum who was very engaged with it. I decided to take part as it was an experience that Issy and I can share together.”
“As a young man I was very career focused and just enjoyed my lifestyle and holidays with the lads,” he explained.
“I didn’t have time for relationships. Then I had my first serious
relationship and had my two lovely daughters.”
“However, that relationship broke down. I have dated and have met some really nice people and I think being on the show has made me want to include the kids more.”
Issy, 19, is a student and said her dad is “very funny, very witty, outgoing and friendly.”
Jenny and Malachi
Jenny, 51, has been single for 14 years and insists that she only ever matches with “psychopaths and sociopaths” on dating apps.
She decided to join the show after two friends both sent her a link and told her to apply.
The operations manager offered some advice to younger singletons: “Choose wisely! You have much more choice when you are younger, choose a partner that you are hopefully going to spend the rest of your life with and pick someone who is compatible.”
Malachi, 19, said he thinks the show is “wholesome”.
“I watched the first series, watching it and seeing how wholesome it was, it was nice to see, so I was more enthused to see her taking part.”
Christian and Lucas
Teacher and mindset coach Chris, 46, has been single for two years and said that he’s a huge romantic.
It was his ex-partner, who he shares his son Lucas, 17, with who encouraged him to go on the show.
Speaking to ITV, Chris said: “It was actually Lucas’s mum who initially thought I should do it. I thought sharing this with one of my kids would be great.
“It would be an experience. I knew it would be wholesome, the narrative in this is exactly what we are, middle aged people looking for love.”
Estate agent Lucas, 17, said his dad is “made for TV” and creates a lot of YouTube content.
Maria and Livia
Maria, 51, from Surrey, applied for the show after hearing an advertisement on the radio.
She admitted that her dating life had “been a shambles” for the last year or so and has struggled to date in her fifties.
The radio presenter and events coordinator said: ” I’ve always used dating apps and found them quite fun.
“When I hit 50, there was nobody I liked. For the last year, it had just
been awful. I don’t meet people anymore when I go out so I thought let’s give this a go!”
Beauty therapist Livia, 19, thinks her mum is “too fussy” when it comes to finding love.
“She needs to give men a bit more of a chance, she needs to
stop being so fussy maybe,” she said.
Danny and Ellis
At the start of this year, Danny, 49, from Sussex decided to say “yes” to new experiences – so when the show was suggested, he grabbed the opportunity.
The sales controller admitted that he is “awkward” on a date and hasn’t had a lot of experience in the dating world.
Danny said: “What I don’t like about dating is that you are forced to make a decision on someone having seen them for 5 minutes.
“In that short period of time you have to make the decision whether you want to continue and have another date or just write them off.
“I don’t like that. The attraction comes from personality not just looks for me,” he added.
His son Ellis, 21, thinks his dad needs to “get himself out there”.
“I think he’s had long enough to feel sorry for himself and he needed a bit of a gentle nudge in the right direction,” said the chef.
Vicky and Angharad
Vicky, 50, from South Wales has been plagued with guilt after leaving her first marriage.
The assistant head teacher has spent the last 10 years single and has been focussed on herself and her kids.
“It’s quite hard as you get older to meet somebody. You have a
clearer idea of what you’re looking for and to find all of those things can be difficult,” she said.
“I’ve been having no luck in trying to find someone myself, so I put my faith in ITV to scan the country for potential candidates.”
Her daughter Angharad, 28, thinks her mum needs to “put herself first”.
“She always gets the 3 month ick! I don’t know whether she actually gets the ick or she finds something to have the ick about!
“She’s at the stage in her life where she doesn’t want to compromise, she knows what she wants and once it’s been 3 months she’s figured out whether this is her person or not, then she doesn’t want to waste
anyone’s time.”
David and Tiana
David, 53, from Bristol, had put dating in the back seat while taking care of his young children.
After watching series one, the property Manager/Developer believed taking part in the show would be a beneficial experience for him.
He said: “It wasn’t just about dating, there were group chats and I saw friendships building and other things going on.
“I felt I would benefit from the interaction with the other people. I put my life on hold to bring up my kids but now it’s time to focus on me.”
Daughter Tiana, 21, described her father as a “hard nut with a soft centre.”
She added: “I’d probably say my dad is fun, family oriented looking for someone who shares his interests which is gym, training, karate.
“He needs someone that can add to his life, so someone who is going to have those intellectual conversations with him but can also have fun with him.”
My Mum, Your Dad airs on ITV and is available to watch on ITVX.
