A kitchen-shy woman who hasn’t cooked for 10 years has revealed she spends £500 a month on takeaways and dining out.

Saffron Boswell either orders in food or eats out for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week.

The 26-year-old year old hates cooking and hasn’t made herself a meal since she moved into her own place a decade ago.

A typical day involves going to her local cafe for a full English or ordering a sandwich from Subway, having lunch at Pizza Express or ordering a salad and burger from KFC, and going to Nandos or ordering a Dominos for dinner.

Breakfast can set her back around £10, lunch usually costs £20 and she spends around £30 on dinner.

She spends around £60 a day on food and believes it works out cheaper than doing a food shop.

“If you’re cooking from scratch, it costs a fortune,” Saffron, from Brentwood, Essex, told What’s the Jam.

“I don’t cook, I don’t enjoy it at all – I’ve tried and it’s a disaster.

“I’m not going to spend £50 on making dinner for it to turn out crap.

“It doesn’t make sense to me.

“People think its outrageous, but I didn’t know it was unusual because all my friends are the same.

“The people who say it’s cheaper to cook are probably just throwing some chicken nuggets in the oven.

“Food shopping is stressful, and it [ordering food] takes that stress away.

“My life is so on the go, I don’t have time to spend hours over the stove.

“People are so concerned about my health but I’m healthy and I feel good.

“I just want to live life and I think that when it’s your time, it’s your time.

“It’s inevitable so I just want to live and enjoy life. I have the money and life’s too short.”

On top of takeaways and meals out, she spends around £200 a week on snacks at the supermarket for any guests who visit.

The full-time content creator – who boasts over 110,000 followers on TikTok, where she documents her life – went to cooking lessons in an attempt to improve her skills but couldn’t get the hang of it.

Saffron said: “I started making my own money when I was 16 and then I moved out.

“I believe that if I was from a family of cooks, it would be very different but my family are a roast chicken and frozen Yorkshire pudding kind of family.

“I’ve even had cooking lessons but I didn’t enjoy it.”

Saffron says her entire friendship group live the same lifestyle and it means she gets to see them every day.

She added: “I don’t just sit indoors all day eating takeaways. I go out with friends. I have a great social life and I’m a very social person.

“We’ll go for a carvery or to Prezzo which is my favourite. I could live in there.

“I love dominoes and I have my favourite takeaways or go to my favourite restaurants three or four times a week.

“People think it’s really unusual but its my normal life.”
