Octomom Natalie ‘Nadya' Suleman Revealed the Jaw-Dropping Amount She Spends on Groceries Each Month
Despite being known as the Octomom, Natalie "Nadya" Suleman is actually a mom of 14, and with 14 kids comes a hefty grocery bill each month.
In an interview with Us Weekly, while promoting Lifetime's docuseries Confessions of Octomom, Suleman talked about how she manages to buy groceries for a household of 15.
"We find a lot of things on sale. I budget really well, and we all eat very, very healthfully," she said, talking about how her children are vegan, so she avoids buying meat, dairy, or eggs. "I focus mainly on what matters - the plant-based whole foods, the fruits and vegetables."
She noted how her grocery bill at Gelson's, an upscale Southern California-based grocer, was $366.94. "I spend that maybe every other day. So it's still $4,000 or $5,000 a month on groceries on average. And now, if we went above and beyond and we got extras and extra food, we could easily be $10,000 a month. Because of the budgeting, it's about half," she said.
So, they at least spend $48,000 on groceries, and at most, around $60,000.
Despite previous bankruptcies and bounding around homes in the early 2010s, she and her children now live in a three-bedroom townhome in Orange County at a discounted rate thanks to someone she met at church, per People. To gain this type of money, there's obviously her public projects like this Lifetime special, she is reported to be working as a counselor full time, occasionally does "international photoshoots" and uses public assistance.
