Mum-of-16 shares how she feeds her kids ‘lunch’ WITHOUT plates & parents are copying her to save on the washing up

A MUM-of-16 has shared the nifty way she manages to feed her kids without using any plates – and it will save on a pile of washing up. 

Jeni Bonell and husband, Ray, are one of Australia’s biggest families, and often share their hectic family life on social media. 

Jeni, whose kids are aged between five and 30, shared a snap to showing her brood sat on the floor, as she popped lunch down in front of them. 

The stay-at-home mum put down some paper on the floor, before spreading a giant mound of chips around a dip in the middle. 

The simple solution allows all the kids to reach the fries – and saves her washing up more than a dozen plates. 

Jeni shared her brilliant hack online, which she simply captioned: “Lunch!!!!!!!!!!!!” 

She added she was: “Just feeding the kids.” 

Her nifty tip has gone down a storm online, with fellow parents praising her simple, yet delicious, meal. 

One person said: “Best lunch ever”

Another wrote: “These are the best lunches during the holidays. Ours kids love it too. Enjoy.”

While a third raved: “No better lunch! A favourite weekend lunch in our house.”

And this mum added: “Literally getting hot chips right now cause it’s rainy b thats what u do!”

As well as quick meals, Jeni often whips up cooked dinners for her family, and regularly shares clips of her super-sized shopping trips. 

She previously revealed they get through 36 litres of milk a week, along with 72 eggs, 30 chicken drumsticks, a dozen loaves of bread and 24 loo rolls.

Jeni said people mistake her for a hoarder when she goes shopping, as she previously admitted to spending a whopping £232 a week on groceries to feed her family.

Jeni and Ray have 16 kids including Jesse, Brooke, Claire, Natalie, Karl, Samuel, Cameron, Sabrina, Tim, Brandon, Eve, Nate, Rachel, Eric, Damian and Katelyn.

Meanwhile this mum bags £867 worth of groceries for just £26 thanks to coupons – & it takes her NINE hours to pack her shopping.

And this mum-of-10 spends $1k on huge shopping haul which feeds her family for a month including 180 eggs and 16 loaves of bread.

While this mum-of-16 shows what it takes to feed a huge family as she picks up a “small” shop of 4kg of chicken and 21 pints of milk.
