Eat less meat, drink tap water and sell your old furniture – a brochure published by a German job centre has been criticised for offering benefit claimants a series of bizarre money-saving tips.
The tips are included in a booklet featuring a cartoon family called the Fischers, which was published by a job centre in Pinneberg, a town in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany.
The father of the family, Knut Fischer, a 51-year-old office clerk, faces having to go on reduced benefits after being unemployed for one and a half years.
The booklet shows the family discussing how to save money, and coming up with suggestions including not eating meat for a week. Mr Fischer's daughter Laura declares: "I wanted to be a vegetarian anyway."
A scene in a supermarket features the mother of the family being advised by a friend not to put bottled water in her trolley but drink tap water instead. Full story...
