    Cost £5.50 including the rice and was delicious and full of goodness!

At 55p a tin though when I checked it did limit my options for the rest of the meal. If I could do that plate for 90p then I could add a pickled onion too and still be under a quid :-)

    Thank you Greeno, looked good value and tasty. My Mother-in-Law used to make Prat Pie, which is NOT a pie!! 3 medium potatoes, 1 medium onion, 500g pork mince and 3 medium carrots diced. Cut the potatoes into 1 inch cubes, put some oil in a heavy pan and sautee, add the onions then the mince, then the potatoes and carrots, cover with water and once boiling, turn to simmer. Around 35-40mins checking on the liquid, so it not dry out. If need be top slightly add 2 spoons of Soya Sauce and thicken with cornflour. That will cost for a family of 4 around 70-75p per serving. I asked my Mother-in-Law, why is it called Prat Pie? To which she replied, cause any Prat will eat it!! Try it and let me know. Regards to the family, it can also be made in a slow cooker, but takes longer. 😋😋🤗🤗

    My go-to budget tip is to get a whole chicken as opposed to portions of chicken. The portions ALWAYS have the grotty stringy sinews, and more often than not need loads of minging bit cutting off before starting. A whole chicken tends to be cheaper anyway, and once you have used the meat, you can make a fantastic stock out of the carcass. which I use to cook risotto, in curries, cottage / shepherd's pies, in casseroles etc.

    • @GreenoEats
      @GreenoEats  11 місяців тому +2

      We have a whole chicken at home at least every couple of weeks. Easy for a midweek roast or chicken and chips etc. Almost always make a stock out of the bones. One of our favourites then is to get a dried soup mix (the kind with barley in), use some leftover chicken, onion, carrots and make a really hearty and healthy soup. Yum!

    That looked absolutely fine. One of my favourite treats, however, it is £12 for fish and chips at my chippy these days. The savoury mince that you make is good with small scones/biscuits as they say in America/cobblers / dumplings etc and mash. Cheese and onion pie with baked beans and chips, egg and chips, potato pie done in the oven with stewing steak and a huge crust on the top, chicken broth using chicken thighs or whatever are the cheapest on the bone then cooled down and the flesh taken off, sausage and mash and onion sauce with carrots and swede. Fish finger butty with tomato ketchup for lunchtime. Rice pudding made with carnation milk and a blob of jam. Spaghetti Bolognese, my son and his friends loved this when they were young. I used to add a can of baked beans and slow cook it. A pound of mince went a long way. Would probably cut down on the cheese these days. Be interesting to see other cheap meals that are suggested. 👍

    • @GreenoEats
      @GreenoEats  11 місяців тому +2

      Some great ideas there Denise, as well as some things that remind me of meals my Mum (and even my Nan) would knock up when I was a kid! We often had spaghetti bolognese, and the leftover sauce would have chilli powder and kidney beans added so the next day was chilli and rice! I'be got a recipe of Mum's that I am going to make for the channel at some point that I can't find written down anywhere, butit was my absolute favourite as a kid.
      BTW, £12 for fish and chips is crazy isn't it. I think us Brits need to look at cheaper (and more sustainable) fish than the standard cod or haddock. A few chippys near me have started selling hake as a slightly cheaper alternative, might go review that too !

    • @denisemottley22705
      @denisemottley22705 11 місяців тому +2

      @@GreenoEats Interesting regarding the hake being cheaper now. Back in the 1960s dad took us to the original Harry Ramsdens, it was amazing, it is a brand name now and is proper crap. I'm sure the chips are frozen ones. Anyway we never actually ate in the Restaurant there but there were tables and chairs set up on the other side of the building with a plastic roof over them. I remember Mum getting a huge lump of Hake. We just got the haddock and chips children's portions. They were cooked in beef dripping. It was in Guiseley and the original hut that Harry Ramsden started from was on the premises. Beautiful. Which reminds me, when there wasn't much left in our cupboards on the day before pay day, mum would make quite thinly sliced potatoes and put onions in between two slices of potato, then dip in batter and fry in dripping. Deelishuss!!! And we got to eat them wrapped in parchment paper after loads of salt and vinegar was shook on. No fridges back then. Anyway I shall look forward to your mum's recipe. 👍🙏🏼

    I've been struggling further out from each pay day recently - my little girl eats dinner every night but sometimes me and my wife don' the closer to pay day it gets
    I've been in the mindset I cant afford anything so what's the point - we batch cook but have a fairly small freezer.
    Ive done some overtime this month so tomorrow when I'm paid I'm buying a 2nd hand chest freezer and I'll be filling it with things like this - can't go wrong with fish chip and mushy peas !
    I tend to buy a takeaway on payday as a treat but thinking about it could prob have 10 decent cheaper dinners.
    Thanks for the review dude
    Edit - something I've done for years as a hobby is foraging -
    You find loads of very very nutritious food for free. I'm quite deep into it now but even basic stuff like nettle soup (everyone knows what nettles look like) is extremely tasty & very nutritious 👍

    • @GreenoEats
      @GreenoEats  10 місяців тому +2

      Sorry to hear it's a bit of a struggle at the moment. Batch cooking is certainly a good way of putting together some good and healthy meals, so I commend you for that, and there are a lot of good recipes online that you can tweak to your personal tastes (I know first hand that kids won't always eat everything!!). Soups, veg curries, pastaare good examples I guess of what can be done relatively inexpensively.
      As for the takeaway, I understand, it's always tempting to want to treat yourself, especially when you're working hard. But if you're not eating some days then as you say it might be better to forego those treats for now, and make sure you get fed more regularly. Your health is the most important thing!
      I hope things get easier for you and your family (change of government later in the year won't hurt in that regard!)

    Before I say anything "constructive", I know this was mainly a budget exercise and for that it is a clear 10/10. All that for less than £1 is unquestionably amazing. Thank you for demonstrating that these things are possible. Also, the salad cream is a great idea, it is far cheaper than tartar sauce but still adds a bit of creamy tartness to the fish.
    "Constructiveness"...OK, I cannot think of many negatives except I dislike pollock. Maybe I have been unlucky, but I have found pollock to be a bit soapy compared to cod. But going back to budget and price, for the difference in price pollock does serve an important purpose.
    Personally for my cheaper budget days, I do like the 90p Stamford Street meals for one from Sainsbury's. A whole meal (excluding an obligatory slab of bread on the side) for 90p is excellent value and they are not short on options either: hotpot, cottage pie, lasagna, spag bol, etc. Also, as it is an all-in-one ready meal, it is quick and easy too for lazy people like me.😝

    • @GreenoEats
      @GreenoEats  4 місяці тому

      Glad you enjoyed the concept of the video - of course pollock is used by Iceland in those battered fish portions as it is available at a fraction of the price of cod. Clearly you have a more discerning palate, as I reckon in a blind taste test on frozen fish I would struggle to tell the difference ha ha 🙂
      I’d not considered Sainsbury’s for a budget frozen ready meal, I might have to have a look at that, as you say, with a good slab of bread those ready meals can provide a quick and easy option at the end of a busy day.

    Great meal for £1 and decent nutrition. The fish didn't look grey at all did it and TBH does it matter if it's not flakes of fish? Still the same nutrition. I wonder if you could so a Spanish omelette for under a pound per portion?

    • @GreenoEats

      It’s interesting, another comment mentioned that even the big brands used “formed” fish in their frozen fillets. So I checked a couple of the market leaders Young’s and Birds Eye, and they do indeed use formed fish. Birds Eye are £6 for 4, treble the price of those Iceland ones. That’s cod, but if it’s just formed fish in frozen batter does it really matter?
      Spanish omelette is a good idea, although you’d have to make a few tweaks to keep it in budget. Fresh herbs and olive oil might have to be subbed for dried herbs and veg oil, but I will look into it, thanks for the idea 😀

    Just cook using fresh ingredients rather than ready meals are cost effective, healthier and they’ll last you longer to make other things with - fresh to frozen vegetables are even cheaper 👍
    Pasta dishes per portion can be really cost effective - people just need to learn to cook 😐

I am not saying that it's a healthy option, but it's not as unbalanced as it could be. In my "under a pound" mini-series I also made a homemade vegetable curry and a soup, so maybe those might be more appealing?
