« Avec Florian, on s’est rendu compte qu’on passait pas mal d’argent dans les courses chaque mois », Allociné reported of Axelle Perronnet. The mother from the reality television program Familles nombreuses : la vie en XXL on TF1 has officially set her sights on her household’s grocery budget.
The Reality of Feeding Seven in Lyon
Residing in the hills near Lyon, the Perronnet household numbers seven people in total. The family includes parents Axelle and Florian, alongside children Ninna, Auxanna, twins Eden and Ambroise, and the youngest child, Rosella.
Shopping for such a large household requires substantial provisions on each supermarket trip. These frequent runs push monthly grocery bills to an average of 1,300 euros.
Targeting a 200-Euro Monthly Reduction
While Axelle does not consider the 1,300-euro monthly expense excessive for a family of seven, she still wants to lower the total. The primary motivation for cutting grocery costs is funding future family travel rather than just trimming numbers on a bank statement.
The family calculates that saving 200 euros each month yields 2,400 euros over a year. That sum matches the exact cost of a previous seven-person vacation at a four-star all-inclusive resort in Tunisia.
Kitchen Shifts and Homemade Alternatives
To reach this monthly savings target, the television personality plans to increase home cooking and preparation. Axelle intends to make items like plant-based milk, yogurt, and cheese herself rather than purchasing store-bought alternatives.
Ultimately, the actual financial impact of shifting toward homemade items depends on ingredient costs, output quantities, and the time spent preparing meals in the kitchen.
