No car. Burnt out. A high-income household one day, then not. Trying to hold the line at $100 to $150 a week for groceries while pregnant and relying on delivery because she can&rsquo;t drive.</p> <p>The responses were mostly generous and practical. Bulk cooking, freezer meals, slow cookers, food banks, jacket potatoes on a tired Tuesday night. Real advice from people who clearly know what it&rsquo;s like to stand in a kitchen at 6pm with nothing planned and children who are hungry right now.</p>
