Why have I just spent twenty minutes of my life watching a bloke in Wales that I don’t know put his shopping away ? …………. because it’s Sean ! ……. that’s why ! 😉
Why? Another good reason is because sometimes when you can’t do the simple things at present (recovering from surgery) the simplest of things are beautiful. Thank you Sean for your calm and sensitive manner.
I am enjoying your videos very much. I have only just seen your channel. I am also in Wales, the North, Sunny Rhyl. I think it would be a useful item to have is a water butt. I have 4 and a reliable amount of water free in summer. I feel I have a new friend watching you. I am 72, also live alone, and enjoy my time, I am sure you will be very happy back in Wales .Best wishes, Sandra. 😊 Sand
Sean, I am living vicariously through you. I wanted to move to my 'spiritual home', the UK but my adult daughter got really ill and my life has been turned upside down. So I pretend. It's interesting to see the different items and the costs, I laughed at the Felix, we spend most on our 2 cats too. Enjoy, and I will keep dreaming, with visuals provided by you. Best wishes, Kaye in Australia.
For 'lifting' you when you are depressed: being in the garden, working with your hands in the soil and breathing fresh air, that's what works too (yes, there's research done proving it). So I hope there's an allotment garden for you there.
Good morning x Waitrose essential are very good. I'm a firm believer, you get what you pay for. God bless, I'm happy you are settling in, back home BURA DAH
Egg boxes are useful for chitting potatoes and also for composting. You can't beat having your own house and you have already made it into a home and are clearly loving it. You have a nice set of food shopping there.
Just found you on u tube. My dads family came from Wales. I would like to know more about Wales. In the 1800 s my dad was born 1901 here. I’ll be watching more of you.
Always interesting to see what people buy in the food shopping and it gave me some ideas. When I buy sausages I wrapped two or three in cling film and freeze them because unless you are feeding a family you end up defrosting to many. I like your journals, it’s like looking in on a friend. Glad you are settling in Wales so well.
Asda is in Tonypandy, they deliver and so does Iceland, also in Tonypandy. Tesco is in Llantrisant, and, they deliver all the way down. Lidl is in your neck of the woods, but, no delivery, yet so handy and cheap for getting a couple of items at a time.
Just a sidebar, if you buy some tandoori powder, mix a teaspoon in with a cup of your yoghurt and marinate one of your chicken breasts in the mix for about an hour (or more). Then put under the grill/in the oven for about 40 mins, serve with rice (or chips) day licious!
I love the music at the beginning and the end. On weekends i watched a British program that played that music...every weekend. Was all British programs...shopping hauls and cooking. R fun to watch...
Like a food haul. Only other one I've watched is a lovely lady in Scotland. She lays everything out and goes over it all showing prices. Your prices are not bad. Note, greens and other veggies will be more expensive this time of year. I gave up growing broccoli. By the time mine was ready it was almost free at the store. Hello from almost sunny Corvallis Oregon US.
I'm joining you in the healthy eating Sean. I've 19 weeks to my birthday, figured I'd give myself the gift of a smaller pair of pants by then😂 Hope something brought a bit of peace to your heart today 💐
Hello Sean....I found your video extremely interesting and was mentally comparing your prices with ours in Edmonton, Alberta. You mentioned... 'Open All Hours'. My husband and I have watched that series over and over and over... brilliantly done. Have you seen David Jason in, 'Frost'. He such a versatile actor. Your little miner's cottage is becoming a cozy haven. Well done you. Fondly, Dorothy.
Sean, watched your video today, your shop was eye wateringly expensive. Sainsbury, Tesco and Lidl all do great products at a more reasonable price and the quality is brilliant. Aldi is a fantastic supermarket, but unfortunately we don't have any yet in N. Ireland. Have a lovely day.
This was so lovely. The flowers are so pretty Sean. Couldn’t say about the coconut drink/ milk but I’m sure other folks will know. I’m still giggling over the lemon grass stick 😂
@@seanjamescameron I don't think it is recommended to give bacon fat to birds. Too much salt and preservatives and carcinogenic compounds. The uncooked oats are fine, however.
I think it was very interesting to see food products from other parts of the world. I'm in USA & so many items are quite different. Ohh those Roses are so gorgeous. Love the colors.
Interesting video Sean, enjoy seeing what others eat. If you want an alternative shop you could try Tesco, the Talbot Green store has the Agave Nectar and Turkey rashers.
I love food hauls, I like seeing the difference in prices around the world. As for eggs, I raise chickens so I get a lot of eggs. Unwashed eggs can be out on the counter but if washed they should be in the fridge as they are now porous.
Hello Sean I am 30years older than you and well remember the walks you are showing.Imalso remember the Cafe with the juke box in Treorchy.We used to walk from Pentre most evenings to hear all the latest music. It would be an interesting video for you to look at the Italian heritage in South Wales.I still call an ice-cream parlour a Braccis.
Oats. Of course it is a wise thing to do - putting out for the birds. My grandma hated to waste any food items and as we didn't have any garden, she always took old oats, barley or something of that kind - to the ducks in the park. Ducks just loved them.
Your food prices are fantastic. Our frozen peas and frozen fruit are double those prices in British Columbia. 4 chicken breasts here are $12 and up, which is 7 pounds.
I was almost crying when he said grocery prices are getting back to where they were in the UK! Not happening in Canada yet, is it? Quite the damned opposite.
Hiya! If you push the air out of the berries bags, you will have more space and no freezer burn on them besides. When I was a kid living in France with my grandmother, we lived in a small village- Maximo brought our large order once a month. Even back then! I used to love carrying the order in and helping to put it up. This reminds of that. We went to the marche twice a week in a bigger village. I make small batch jam in my frying pan now that my children are grown. It makes just two small jars plus a table dab - very convenient. But I love my large soup pot too- it will be so convenient for you. I can in mine too- What a nice shopping. I have to go and get mine. I think you spend less the way you did it. No impulse purchases!
Hi Sean, it looked to me like Coconut milk, they have to call it ‘ drink’ as the dairy industry doesn’t like it being labelled milk! Good shop, I personally love Waitrose as have specialist items xxx
We have to refrigerate eggs here in Tennessee because the eggs are washed. When I was in the UK in October, I washed the eggs I bought and then refrigerated them.
Interesting - I don't understand why washing would make a difference? I'd assume the eggs here (NL) and in the UK are also washed as they are clean in the box. Just curious!
Fascinating! I had no idea this was 'a thing' 😀 Googled and found theories about how washing gets rid of a natural protective membrane. And also this: ' In the US, where home refrigeration of eggs is a norm, taking eggs in and out of the fridge can cause condensation, which may facilitate bacterial penetration through the shell. In the UK, consistent room temperature avoids this issue.' Get a life I hear you say! I def need a cuppa tea! ☕ 😀x
Eggs. I've read somewhere (and sounded convincing to me) that if eggs are natural (not washed!) then you would be just fine to keep them out on the countertop. But once they are washed - that removes their natural protection - you can't keep them out, you definitely need to keep them in the fridge. And since the big nuisance about salmonella, USA would normally wash all the eggs before they're getting to the shop and therefore they keep them in chiller from shop onwards. But we in Europe don't tend to wash them and therefore are fine to keep them out. Ever since I'm keeping eggs on the countertop. Though I rinse them just before I use them, just in case. Because they say that salmonella can be easily rinsed off.
Turkey Rashers, the same as with ham & most types of bacon have a preservative in Sodium Nitrate,or sometimes other nitrates. The thing is these nitrates can turn polyps in the gut cancerous. Lots of us, particularly more mature folks, have polyps in the gut, so nitrates are best avoided if possible.
That coconut drink will be perfect for overnight oats. Its not water. Although you could use coconut water as well but won't be so creamy. I use yogurt also to add to overnight oats.
Prices are coming down slowly here in the US also. I have always shopped weekly sales and that's what we eat for the week. Chicken thighs in our area are BOGO this week so bourbon chicken, chicken soup, and chicken fries rice will be our 7 meals and lunches this week. Your veg prices are to die for though! ❤ all your just everyday living vlogs.
I like these videos very much! Not sure why but maybe it’s interesting to me to see the difference in foods and prices from other countries. I’m from Indiana in the States😊
I too bought myself some roses yesterday Sean. I live in the Neath Valley and we don't have a Waitrose near here unfortunately. My Father came from Llwynypia but I grew up in Cardiff. Went to Ponty Market regularly though. Love your walks through the woods.
Hi Sean, I'm really enjoying your channel. I priced your shop from Asda. I was able to get all your items and matched your brands of oats, agave, and alpro. Came to £74.20. I know, I've got too much time on my hands lol. I can't wait for gardening season to start ❤ ❤
That's great to know. Always good to save a few pennies where possible. Now can you do all the other supermarkets please? Only kidding! Will certainly use Asda next time. Thank you very much. And yes, I agree, am looking forward to March to start gardening again, even if it's just at the home garden.
I only like pears that are cooked, its a texture thing. And cooking them with pork is the way to go. I do like making carrot cake jam with them, though.
I am 84, my wife 78 never ever shopped at Waitrose or Aldi, we do on the odd occasion food shop at M&S, but mainly between Morrisons for meat and it’s the only place I can get Nimble Malted Danish bread which I prefer to white bread, then we alternate between Tesco and Asda. As for healthy eating I have been brought up to eat whatever you like including so called junk food, But everything in moderation and my weight which is under 12st remains constant without the need of dieting.
I'm a single bloke who lives alone and I find that keeping your eggs in the fridge really helps with the 'sell by' date Sean. Buying a dozen eggs at a time works out so much cheaper but eating them while fresh can be a challenge. The 'egg in water' test after chilling them can show that eggs to stay fresh up to 2 weeks after the 'sell by' date, unlike unchilled eggs...
8;”8=3 alone in Cincinnati Ohio USA. Lol! Quite a challenge isn’t it? Although, I enjoy wandering to find items I need for cheap! As you know,Americans are undumgent! Our second hand shops are full of beautiful items. I even enjoy seeing how inexpensive I can find various foods,well done sir! Impressive shopping. 👍🏻🫠♥️🙋♀️
Our prices in Australia have gone up,I bought one litre of Olive Oil at Coles last week , $17! That was the cheaper price (think that’s about $8 pounds ). 1.25kg of dry cat food is now $20 , every item gone through the roof, I live in a rural area in Tasmania and we only have 2 choices where I live - Woolworths or Coles, both as expensive as the other … ridiculous- thanks for your videos Sean, looks beautiful where you live, best Regards- Lee from Tasmania
The amino acids within the egg yolk compliment the amino acids within egg white to give the highest muscle utilisation of any protein source of 49% . Beef is 33%.
I live in Australia but was born in Scotland. Totally agree on the HP Being totally necessary. AUD and not on special about $6.60 which I think is about 3.30 pounds. Can’t locate the pound symbol 😅Weirdly I found it interesting 😂
Lol… Here I am in Australia as well, quickly doing my Aussie conversions, other than cat food ( I don’t have a cat), I buy similar stuff, cannot do without the HP sauce and have to have Heinz salad cream. I am originally from Bury, near Manchester, came here as a 10 year old.
Unwashed Fresh eggs can be stored on the counter, but store bought eggs have to be kept in the refrigerator , because they have been washed and are already cold. Temperature fluctuation will make them to bad. Depending on how old they are they can go bad in hours .if you can get unwashed fresh eggs they will last weeks on the counter ;)
Our groceries are not coming down yet here in Ontario Canada yet, but you're giving me hope for the future to hear that yours are... wonderful. Nice haul!
I will try the sausages Sean, they look good. I get some things from Waitrose, bits from Aldi, Sainsbury. Sometimes I go a bit further and try Tesco and Lidl. No Asda near me. I do like exploring different shopping places. As you know we have some good markets in London. If you need more freezer space, look into a small chest freezer, that could go under the stairs or in another room.
My cat has a refined palate. Her favoured wet food is $2.79 a sachet and she's doing her best to convince me that she should be given a full sachet every day, instead of half. She also gets her favoured kibble, Temptations, and organic catnip.
Hi Sean, lovely roses really pretty colours! Meg, our rescue cat, has the same cat food she used to have Whiskas until they changed the recipe and the size of the pouches from 100g to 85g and then we gradually switched her over! ASDA currently doing Felix As Good as it Looks x40 Mixed Selection for £13.99. 👍
It's coconut milk, although so many companies don't call a plant based milk a milk anymore, they call it a drink. I know they sell the agave nectar in sainsburys. I take all my fruit and veg out of the bags as it's supposed to last longer
Yea but Aldi meat and fruit and veg is absolutely discgusting the meat is always fatty and tough and the fruit and veg sometimes is mouldy the day after i only use Lidl for tins now sick of having nasty meat and veg
I bought 2 bunches of spring flowers this week . One from Waitrose and one from Aldi. Both are similar in size and type flowers, and both bunches cost £5 each. I didn't get more at Aldi, so that shows Waitrose isn't as expensive as some may think. Your roses are beautiful, Sean.
Just catching up on your videos (binge watched the first 8) Morrisons also stock the egg whites and the turkey rashers. Oh and always keep my eggs out nowadays
I find Waitrose very expensive and shop at Tesco and Aldi. I allow myself £100 per month shopping and that includes everything. My being Coeliac doesn't help but I usually get these reduced
Interesting to see your prices in Wales. Our prices here in the Vancouver area (BC Canada) have been skyrocketing. Can’t wait to plant my veggie garden. Being retired, I really shop the sales. I use an electric skillet to make my Welsh cakes. But I like that cast iron skillet. My Welsh Grandma used to use her cast iron frying pan for her Welsh cakes. They were the best. She said the secret to making Welsh cakes is to soak the currents in how water….makes them juicy. So that is what I always do. Do you do that? Have a great week. Looking forward to your next video. Take care.
Sean, if you go for probiotics plain yoghurt has the same effect as Actimel and other expensive labels probiotic Yoghurts.. I liked actimel for a very long time but then checked how much sugar is in it. It's not coconut water it's a rice/coconut drink. But if you look at the ingredients and amount of real coconut its technically water with some coconut in it:-) I have overnight oats as well and i use coconut milk in tins aldi and lidl have them very cheap. I only use a third of the tined coconut mil because it's up to 90 percent coconut, mix this with water or a cheaper plant based milk.
It used to be such a common sight seeing people carrying heavy bags home from the supermarket ,& wise old folks pulling their old fashioned shopping trollies behind them. Now you rarely see that due to internet shopping. I have never kept my eggs or butter in the fridge. Oats are absolutely fine for the birds Sean, bread however is not. I have so many bird feeders in my garden & i often mix oats in with them👍 We only do one supermarket shop every six weeks & tend to buy in bulk. Most meals are based around whatever is in our weekly organic veg box delivery. My local butcher lost my custom when he refused to sell 5% fat minced beef so now we just get a £17.50 meat box from The Veg Box Company, the contents fit in a tiny space in the freezer. Great value for money & ideal for one or two people. I hope you have a lovely day although i'm sure you still have a heavy heart today🐾🐾Annie🏴
I bought coconut milk once and it was watery with little flecks of white in it. We didn't like it. It was tasteless and looked nasty :-/ From now on I'll just stick to the tried and tested oat milk or soy milk for our smoothies. Sometimes I buy cans of coconut cream, pour it into icecube trays and then bag them up. Those are nice to add to a smoothie or a curry!!
Eggs that are washed in the process plant need to be refrigerated. Eggs that still have their bloom, can be either, but I don't refrigerate because cooking with room temp eggs is always better. Nice haul
As an American living in the Washington DC area, I found your video both entertaining and educational. Food is definitely cheaper in Wales than it is here! But it's great to hear prices have fallen over there. I think they've gone down a little here, too, but still quite a bit higher than they were pre-covid.
❤️ loved your video, & yes your right, no one buys me roses 🌹🥀 anymore, so i buy them for myself, Waitrose is expensive, even for there peas, you can get 2 or even 3 bags for that from asda of lidl or aldi. Youll spend less in the other 3 supermarkets. Morrisons do egg whites. Plus M&S do cheaper eggs
I can't compare directly because our weight system is so different, but your total cost seems incredibly cheap compared to the U.S. right now. Can't afford to buy flowers anymore. It's food or flowers. I was surprised upon returning to Whole Foods after not going for a while (which people in the States call Whole Paycheck because they can be so expensive) to find great bargains compared to my other two natural grocers. I also get a discount because I'm a prime member. They have some great sales on organic fruit and veggies. It really added up to some terrific savings. I watch prices like a hawk and go with a plan. I'm also watching my sourcing extremely carefully. I try to get my food from small farms, and my meat must be organic (no hormones, antibiotics) and pasture raised. I don't eat out nor have anything delivered and plan my grocery shopping trips carefully so I use as little gas as possible. Since I have Amazon prime (includes free delivery), I'll order from there (cleaning supplies, etc.) to save any extraneous trips out of my way.
Hey Sean , another " food " that has a positive influence on depressions is, nutritional yeast . Just add it to your meals ... grtz from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 😊

Just a note, Sean, lemongrass essential oil is good for leg pains. I used it a lot before I retired.
What a relief .

If you think you’ll struggle to get through the pears fast enough, they’re a great addition to smoothies 😊
Being from the states, those prices are very inexpensive! For myself and my husband, we spend, on a light week, approx 150 a week.
be careful using diffuses when you have animals as they are allergic to some of them, same with essential oils
thanx for sharing
Hi sean, I don't think the food prices are going down, but London prices are more expensive. X best wishes

I know, I've got too much time on my hands lol. I can't wait for gardening season to start ❤ ❤
That's great to know. Always good to save a few pennies where possible. Now can you do all the other supermarkets please? Only kidding! Will certainly use Asda next time. Thank you very much. And yes, I agree, am looking forward to March to start gardening again, even if it's just at the home garden.
Morrisons sell the turkey rashers. About the same price. 6 rashers in the pack. 😊
If your have maple syrup , cut pears into pieces , cook them with maple syrup and a little coriander, serve hot with pork . really good stuff!
Yum!
I only like pears that are cooked, its a texture thing. And cooking them with pork is the way to go.
I do like making carrot cake jam with them, though.
I am 84, my wife 78 never ever shopped at Waitrose or Aldi, we do on the odd occasion food shop at M&S, but mainly between Morrisons for meat and it’s the only place I can get Nimble Malted Danish bread which I prefer to white bread, then we alternate between Tesco and Asda. As for healthy eating I have been brought up to eat whatever you like including so called junk food, But everything in moderation and my weight which is under 12st remains constant without the need of dieting.
Sainsbury's sells Nimble Malted Danish
@@angelapitkin7097 thanks, nearest Sainsbury to us is 14 miles away.
I'm a single bloke who lives alone and I find that keeping your eggs in the fridge really helps with the 'sell by' date Sean. Buying a dozen eggs at a time works out so much cheaper but eating them while fresh can be a challenge. The 'egg in water' test after chilling them can show that eggs to stay fresh up to 2 weeks after the 'sell by' date, unlike unchilled eggs...
8;”8=3 alone in Cincinnati Ohio USA. Lol! Quite a challenge isn’t it? Although, I enjoy wandering to find items I need for cheap! As you know,Americans are undumgent! Our second hand shops are full of beautiful items. I even enjoy seeing how inexpensive I can find various foods,well done sir! Impressive shopping. 👍🏻🫠♥️🙋♀️
Our prices in Australia have gone up,I bought one litre of Olive Oil at Coles last week , $17! That was the cheaper price (think that’s about $8 pounds ). 1.25kg of dry cat food is now $20 , every item gone through the roof, I live in a rural area in Tasmania and we only have 2 choices where I live - Woolworths or Coles, both as expensive as the other … ridiculous- thanks for your videos Sean, looks beautiful where you live, best Regards- Lee from Tasmania
Wow, Sean, with those prices, I think it might just be smart for me to buy a plane ticket to Wales just to do a shopping trip!
Perhaps sometime you can show us where your refrigerator is. Looks like it's below your counter tops. Nosey I know. A fun video .... thanks.
Prices in the U.S. are definitely not coming down.
The amino acids within the egg yolk compliment the amino acids within egg white to give the highest muscle utilisation of any protein source of 49% . Beef is 33%.
Coconut drink (aka milk) is a non-milk alternative and is made with water.
I live in Australia but was born in Scotland. Totally agree on the HP Being totally necessary. AUD and not on special about $6.60 which I think is about 3.30 pounds. Can’t locate the pound symbol 😅Weirdly I found it interesting 😂
And the branston pickle 😊
Lol… Here I am in Australia as well, quickly doing my Aussie conversions, other than cat food ( I don’t have a cat), I buy similar stuff, cannot do without the HP sauce and have to have Heinz salad cream. I am originally from Bury, near Manchester, came here as a 10 year old.
Unwashed Fresh eggs can be stored on the counter, but store bought eggs have to be kept in the refrigerator , because they have been washed and are already cold. Temperature fluctuation will make them to bad. Depending on how old they are they can go bad in hours .if you can get unwashed fresh eggs they will last weeks on the counter ;)
In the UK, supermarket eggs aren't washed or bleached and can be kept on counter unrefridgerated for weeks, past the sell by date also
Our groceries are not coming down yet here in Ontario Canada yet, but you're giving me hope for the future to hear that yours are... wonderful. Nice haul!
Sean your voice is so soothing and calming
I enjoyed watching you do your haul! Always nosy and looking for tips! 😆 I also take warm lemon water in the morning 😊
I just down the lemon without water or warmth. Done then over.
I am always curious as to how others live their daily lives. Enjoyed your shopping video. Thanks,
I will try the sausages Sean, they look good. I get some things from Waitrose, bits from Aldi, Sainsbury. Sometimes I go a bit further and try Tesco and Lidl. No Asda near me. I do like exploring different shopping places. As you know we have some good markets in London. If you need more freezer space, look into a small chest freezer, that could go under the stairs or in another room.
My cat has a refined palate. Her favoured wet food is $2.79 a sachet and she's doing her best to convince me that she should be given a full sachet every day, instead of half. She also gets her favoured kibble, Temptations, and organic catnip.
HP Sauce in Winnipeg Canada is $4.77 (2.81gbp) 400ml bottle. Original flavour.
Hi Sean, lovely roses really pretty colours! Meg, our rescue cat, has the same cat food she used to have Whiskas until they changed the recipe and the size of the pouches from 100g to 85g and then we gradually switched her over! ASDA currently doing Felix As Good as it Looks x40 Mixed Selection for £13.99. 👍
I loved this very informative and fun moment in our lives. Thank you for sharing and enjoy.
It's coconut milk, although so many companies don't call a plant based milk a milk anymore, they call it a drink. I know they sell the agave nectar in sainsburys.
I take all my fruit and veg out of the bags as it's supposed to last longer
Ah, didn't know that. Thanks.
I must admit Sean that’s very expensive for outside of London, will be very interested to see how much you’d spend at an Aldi or Asda for comparison
Yea but Aldi meat and fruit and veg is absolutely discgusting the meat is always fatty and tough and the fruit and veg sometimes is mouldy the day after i only use Lidl for tins now sick of having nasty meat and veg
Sorry Sean not found food prices going down at all.
I bought 2 bunches of spring flowers this week . One from Waitrose and one from Aldi. Both are similar in size and type flowers, and both bunches cost £5 each. I didn't get more at Aldi, so that shows Waitrose isn't as expensive as some may think. Your roses are beautiful, Sean.
That trifle looks yummy. Like your nice warm top that you are wearing, suits you Sir.
It may be too late to say so but with extra pears you could do a bit of pear conserve.
Just catching up on your videos (binge watched the first 8) Morrisons also stock the egg whites and the turkey rashers. Oh and always keep my eggs out nowadays
I find Waitrose very expensive and shop at Tesco and Aldi. I allow myself £100 per month shopping and that includes everything. My being Coeliac doesn't help but I usually get these reduced
Interesting to see your prices in Wales. Our prices here in the Vancouver area (BC Canada) have been skyrocketing. Can’t wait to plant my veggie garden. Being retired, I really shop the sales. I use an electric skillet to make my Welsh cakes. But I like that cast iron skillet. My Welsh Grandma used to use her cast iron frying pan for her Welsh cakes. They were the best. She said the secret to making Welsh cakes is to soak the currents in how water….makes them juicy. So that is what I always do. Do you do that?
Have a great week. Looking forward to your next video. Take care.
I will try this method with currants, thank you.
I love dried blueberries in my oatmeal.
Sean, if you go for probiotics plain yoghurt has the same effect as Actimel and other expensive labels probiotic Yoghurts.. I liked actimel for a very long time but then checked how much sugar is in it. It's not coconut water it's a rice/coconut drink. But if you look at the ingredients and amount of real coconut its technically water with some coconut in it:-) I have overnight oats as well and i use coconut milk in tins aldi and lidl have them very cheap. I only use a third of the tined coconut mil because it's up to 90 percent coconut, mix this with water or a cheaper plant based milk.
It used to be such a common sight seeing people carrying heavy bags home from the supermarket ,& wise old folks pulling their old fashioned shopping trollies behind them. Now you rarely see that due to internet shopping.
I have never kept my eggs or butter in the fridge.
Oats are absolutely fine for the birds Sean, bread however is not. I have so many bird feeders in my garden & i often mix oats in with them👍
We only do one supermarket shop every six weeks & tend to buy in bulk. Most meals are based around whatever is in our weekly organic veg box delivery. My local butcher lost my custom when he refused to sell 5% fat minced beef so now we just get a £17.50 meat box from The Veg Box Company, the contents fit in a tiny space in the freezer. Great value for money & ideal for one or two people.
I hope you have a lovely day although i'm sure you still have a heavy heart today🐾🐾Annie🏴
I've wanted to try meat from The Veg Box Company, will give it a go when I run low again. The sun is shining here today so that helps.
I bought coconut milk once and it was watery with little flecks of white in it. We didn't like it. It was tasteless and looked nasty :-/ From now on I'll just stick to the tried and tested oat milk or soy milk for our smoothies. Sometimes I buy cans of coconut cream, pour it into icecube trays and then bag them up. Those are nice to add to a smoothie or a curry!!
What a great idea! Thanks.
Great video. I’m in western Mass USA. I need to start a diet too. We don’t have the drinks you have there. I’ve never heard of them or the meat flats.
Eggs that are washed in the process plant need to be refrigerated. Eggs that still have their bloom, can be either, but I don't refrigerate because cooking with room temp eggs is always better. Nice haul
It was interesting seeing different foods you hve that we don't have in the U.S.
As an American living in the Washington DC area, I found your video both entertaining and educational. Food is definitely cheaper in Wales than it is here! But it's great to hear prices have fallen over there. I think they've gone down a little here, too, but still quite a bit higher than they were pre-covid.
Not everyone agrees prices have fallen. Some food prices still rising quite alarmingly. 😮
Lemongrass, I know what you mean, too strong! I use Greek yogurt on overnight oats must try the coconut drink. 😊
My local butcher makes pork & black pudding sausages.. they are delicious
Just subbed absolutely love your vids I find them relaxing ❤❤❤❤❤ from Cornwall
❤️ loved your video, & yes your right, no one buys me roses 🌹🥀 anymore, so i buy them for myself, Waitrose is expensive, even for there peas, you can get 2 or even 3 bags for that from asda of lidl or aldi. Youll spend less in the other 3 supermarkets. Morrisons do egg whites. Plus M&S do cheaper eggs
I can't compare directly because our weight system is so different, but your total cost seems incredibly cheap compared to the U.S. right now. Can't afford to buy flowers anymore. It's food or flowers. I was surprised upon returning to Whole Foods after not going for a while (which people in the States call Whole Paycheck because they can be so expensive) to find great bargains compared to my other two natural grocers. I also get a discount because I'm a prime member. They have some great sales on organic fruit and veggies. It really added up to some terrific savings. I watch prices like a hawk and go with a plan. I'm also watching my sourcing extremely carefully. I try to get my food from small farms, and my meat must be organic (no hormones, antibiotics) and pasture raised. I don't eat out nor have anything delivered and plan my grocery shopping trips carefully so I use as little gas as possible. Since I have Amazon prime (includes free delivery), I'll order from there (cleaning supplies, etc.) to save any extraneous trips out of my way.
Great grocery haul! Good luck on your health journey! I'm doing the same! Happy Imbolc!
Hey Sean , another " food " that has a positive influence on depressions is, nutritional yeast . Just add it to your meals ... grtz from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 😊
Fab video Sean . I got 120 pouches of Felix for my cat for £38.99 I think it was , off of ebay 😊
