Hayley Garbutt, a 52-year-old end-of-life carer from England, has figured out a way to make feeding her family more affordable — by charging them for dinner. She does this for good reason, however, and that reason is she gets to spoil her family at Christmas. She charges about $45-a head for a seat at her Christmas dinner table, according to the Sun.
Her guests include her three children, their partners and her four grandchildren. She also invites some friends as well.
“I get all of my family to put in before I go and do the shop,” she told the Sun. “This year I spent $388 online at Morrisons, doing the big shop and making sure I had a variety of things in. But it's not that I'm being tight - it means I get to spend more in other aspects then too like presents - this year the tree has so many presents stacked around it, that you can't even see it.”
So, while her family has to pay to eat dinner, Garbutt makes sure that they get their money’s worth.

She'd have to pay me--and a lot more than $45--to get me to eat brussels sprouts.
