Fuimaono Peterson.
A solo mum on a benefit says grocery shopping has become the most stressful time in her week because she has to choose which basics to leave out.
Fuimaono Peterson lives in Auckland on the North Shore and has five children under her wings, aged nine to 20.
Her weekly grocery budget is $300, with no wriggle room: "That's seven meals to feed six people every week and it's a struggle."
Peterson walks to the nearest supermarket because she does not have a car.
