THE SINGLE PARENT AND SON
Lisa Lovell, 51, is a charity youth engagement coordinator and lives with her son in Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire
FOOD BUDGET £70 a month
I learned from a young age to cook on a strict budget due to family circumstances, and from living independently in my mid-teens. I spent years being skint, and learned the importance of having a well-stocked pantry so I always had something to cook.
