22 Kids and Counting: The Radfords give insight into weekly shop
22 Kids and Counting matriarch Sue Radford, her husband Noel and their huge brood are on holiday in Florida – their 18th trip in just 20 months – and they’ve been splashing the cash generously.
While celebrating granddaughter Daisy’s 11th birthday, the family hired a private cabana at the Discovery Cove resort – and seemingly no expense was spared to make the day special.
The Orlando amusement park doesn’t come cheap, with cabanas costing up to £400, while day tickets at the resort are priced at £194.50 for anyone over the age of three.
However, the birthday girl looked delighted as she tore open her presents while perched on a hammock, including two Loungefly bags and a much longed-for fragrance.
It’s uncertain exactly how many kids have joined Sue and Noel on the getaway, as they’ve previously spoken about not all their activities abroad being suitable for the whole family due to its huge range of ages.

For example, one trip to the USA recently saw Sue travel with just three of her daughters as they enjoyed a shopping trip.
However, it’s known that the couple – who kept fans updated on their latest jaunt via YouTube vlogging – checked in a total of 15 suitcases at Discovery Cove.
Assuming that number revealed the amount of people travelling, the trip would have set Sue and Noel back a whopping fee of more than £2,700.
However, they have since shared that they’ve headed home after spending more than three weeks in Florida.

Sue divulged of the epic trip that the kids were begging not to have to go home as they could scarcely drag themselves away from their Orlando idyll, which offered all-inclusive food as part of the price.
She, on the other hand, joked as she shared a snap of their landing: “Can’t wait to get home now and have a lovely cup of tea!”
Their regular trips abroad have led to cruel trolling from some followers who question how they afford their lifestyle.
However, in a recent YouTube vlog earlier this year, Sue adamantly declared that they fund their own lifestyles.
Their Radford Pie Company website also shares an insight into where their money comes from, reading: “We have owned our own lovely bakery since 1999 which is how we manage to provide for (and feed) our huge and expanding family.”
Meanwhile, Sue requires older children to contribute towards expenses if they are working. Their daughter Chloe also revealed that she is saving up to purchase her own house at the moment.
“I do believe they should pay board if they are earning. We’ve always been brought up by our parents that we had to pay board,” Sue vlogged.
The family revealed that a mammoth £400 a week food bill isn’t uncommon for them, but that they also supplement their income through their 22 Kids And Counting episodes on Channel 5, their YouTube account and brand deals.
