TikToker's Child Benefit Spending Spree: From Football Bets to Groceries

A TikTok video by Liv Poole (@livcolettepoole) offers a glimpse into the spending habits of a young mother in the UK. The video, uploaded on May 24th, 2025, details how she spent her child benefit payment. Poole first visited a bookmaker to place a bet on a football match, showcasing her passion for the sport. "I'm a big football fan," she stated in the video. She then purchased groceries from Asda, buying items for breakfast and other household needs. Later, she visited a clothing store where she bought a Hot Wheels-themed top and cargo shorts for her son. The video concludes with her receiving a beauty package, which she plans to review in a separate video. While the video provides a personal perspective, it offers a glimpse into the financial realities faced by many young mothers.
