Great video , adding a few herbs and spices would be tasty and probably most people have some already in cupboard , as you say not nutritionally sound for long term but great for a week 5 of a five week month x
Awesome. this is my fave sort of content. Dont feel you always have to do super chaep tho, mix it up with some - average frugal budget stuff :D love it
A couple of years ago I did this (on paper). I allowed 10p per day for herbs, spices and small amounts of ingredients. I also used other pantry ingredients costing them pro rata and some supermarket shopping. Doing it this way I managed within budget and had a desert for lunch and supper too. After all most of us have a pantry with lots of half used basic ingredients.
I have debating with myself but I have to say it Prices in UK makes no sense, I am a wee bit envious but I do love shopping in food stores there but never been to Aldi
nIn Australia at Aldi the cheapest store we are looking at a small bag of spuds $ 5.00. a bag of carrots $2.00 a swead $5.00 a kilo a packet meal or side dish at least$2.00 tin of tomato's $1.00.cabbage is $4.00.Spagetti $1.00 cottage cheese I dont know eggs are $3.00 oats $2.00 onions $3.00 Chicken wings$8.00 bread $3.00.
Do you have any vegetarian meals you could share. I live alone and tend to snack more than I should but I do eat porridge, some bread, baked beans, eggs, hummus, beetroot, fish and lots of oranges.
Definitely! I usually intertwine them in my regular week menu but I am planning on a whole week of veggie ones as my daughter it vegetarian so this might well suit 🤗
How in the world are you getting carrots, onions and potatoes for 15 p? Even the "without card" price is cheaper in the UK than Italy and salaries her are WAY lower. All of that marked down food? Nope, not here.
The veg was only that cheap as in the UK now supermarkets are doing deals on veg around Christmas and Easter which is when this video was filmed. The prices are around tripple for the rest of the year and going up almost weekly or the supermarket don't have the cheaper items forcing people to buy the more expensive items or going without.
@@Jessica-5827others I’ve read have taken advantage of the Christmas prices by planning and freezing or storing properly. I missed it this year but I will def be doing that this Christmas
Oh yes, I definitely dropped on. But, there is always opportunity to get free or reduced price veg and hopefully it just gives people food for thought and some ideas they could start with 😊
@@TheBudgetMumUK The video is great. For all the reasons you mentioned. Sometimes folks just need some ideas and inspiration and this sort of video does that perfectly

15p veg, easter 4 months ago, veg is not that cheap normally , only easter and xmas when shoos have excess and clsed over holidays.
Yes, you’re right! I do mention this in the video. They’re called ‘loss leaders’. It’s a great time to bulk buy, prep then freeze for months ahead 😊

Wow...that's not bad!😊

Great video. Well done ! Please can you do some for bigger families £20/£30/£40 pw x
Hi yes, I’m hoping to get one up every Saturday going forwards 😊
Great video Sam. I will look forward to Saturdays now xx
The food is so ridiculously low cost 😮. I’m a weeee bit jealous here in the US.
Yes - definitely cheaper in the U.K., and we’ve seen costs increasing here lately!
Sorry no offence but doing this when veg is 15p isn't that hard to do

Living on a budget the most easiest thing you can do.
