Hmm, some of these comments are unnecessarily rude. I wonder if the people who leave them are that rude in real life or whether it’s a bit like road rage and people just think they can say what they want/how they want because it’s social media. I can see you read and reply to the comments so I hope you let them just wash over you….

Hello Rechenda. I've been following and enjoying your channel for a few weeks. A quick tip regarding the spring/green onion growing in your garden; if you had just chopped it off about an inch above the ground it would have regrown for another harvest a few weeks later.

Thank you Rechenda (And our Jack)that was great you did a fantastic job for your £10 budget very creative I don't think super glue would not be any good in the oven go to a charity shop you will pick up a flan dish or tin for a couple of quid or a boot sale love your channel have a great safe and happy week .xx

absolutely loved this whole video, im only a kid still but i find this entertaining haha. your personality is amazing! subscribed and now going to start watching more of your videos

Risotto does not need any creamy stuff in it - maybe just a knob of butter thrown in before plating it, but if it tastes good how you made it, then it’s a win! You are very creative 😊

Rechenda, you are the best! I was laughing out loud when you casually mentioned about the cat hair and then you said something about you might burn the kitchen down. Hysterical! You really get things done - the risotto looked wonderful! I love shopping at Aldi here in New York. Such good bargains. Thank you again for a great video!

This is brilliant .. really gave me some good ideas for budget cooking so thank you 💗💗💗💗

Love what you are trying to achieve x for your quiche bases you can either prick them with a fork or add dried peas to blind bake it. This means it will stop puffing up in the middle x

Impressed as always - great going 15 meals! I also have stopped buying magazines so treat myself to a free one from the health food shop or a local free one i pick up at the railway station.

Started watching your channel and have shared it with my son who has just been housed in a flat and is trying to get everything for it and get a car on the road. So your ideas will be wonderful ❤

All looks great!😊

Fantastic ❤

When you were looking at the dried herbs, basil was the very first one on the shelf 😂

You have helped me view shopping and budgeting differently... Although I can't do the same as I have a 9 year old boy, you've shown me how I can save better on my own food... Previous videos you have made, also shown me I can also stay relatively low carb on a budget too... I'm really enjoying your stuff... You're great 🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧

wow just subbed to this channel. How very inspiring. Theres no set rules for making food dishes just go for it as you do so well. You have inspired me to experiment with strange and wonderful ingredients. Love your little fruit pie, how cute is that.

I love Aldi and would love to see Lidl in Australia 🇦🇺, yes it would give our two dominant supermarkets a good kick in the cash register.😊 I do watch my food prices and plan the menu,. Great video and look forward to future posts 👍✔️🇦🇺

The pasta is SO cheap. At Aldi here in France the cheapest pasta is about 1€25 for 500g, cherry tomatoes are 99centimes for 250g - your pack was 330g!

Been shopping @Aldi and Lidl for best part of 25 years, if you're lucky enough to live where the two are within walking distance of each other (like Droitwich) that's the very best situation as each have pluses and minuses.Aldi do grated mozzarella in large bags (sold in same box as grated cheddar,so sort through) this ,long run,is cheaper.I don't eat meat ,but my kids do and prefer Lidls. Even if you only have a window box, stuff like Basil/Parsley/is very easy to grow from seed,costs pennies. I like your channel. Best Wishes.

I have to start buying extra canned food to build up my pantry for the winter.I find groceries are more expensive in the winter months.I have done some dehydrating of vegetables also for the winter.

😂😂 You are mental! I love ya. Subscribed 😂

Because i’m the dullest person that ever lived, i just ran that receipt through the tesco app to compare prices. Apart from the milk, every single thing was within a penny or two at tesco, the bacon was cheaper at 1.45. There definitely are some things that i make a special trip to Aldi for (crispy fries. £1- something, over £4 at full price in tesco!) but for routine stuff I don’t think it’s worth going out of your way for. Your meal planning is absolutely next level 🎉

Nice shop/meal vid! Reminds me a bit of @atomic Shrimp's style and demeanor. Keep it up! 👍

You are literally the female version of me, lol. i love the challenge of budget cooking and am thinking of doing my own foody channel. I forage for seasonal ingredients, ive started growing my own. i also sell unwanted stuff on market place. i lost my dad recently and live on my own. Budgeting allowed me to buy my own place and pay it off, i now work part time and budgeting allows me to still enjoy a social life. I tend to lean more towards fast cook meals rather than batch cooking. My freezer is filled with veg meat breads etc. I prefer the flexibility and choice.

Very entertaining and educational videos, Rechenda (nice name-I’ve never come across it before). You’ve got a lovely voice too! Keep up the excellent work 🤩👊

Book looks awesome, terriffic present, he'll love it, with chocolates? I think this is so well organised for meals, thanks for sharing xx

I prefer Aldi than Lidl I must say

So they not do the bacon off cuts in Aldi across the pond? Fantastic value and you can get some really good cuts in there, sometimes even gammon steaks

I recognise that Aldi I shop there! 😁😁

You are a lovely friend.Such a super vlog.more ,morei say.🎉😄

Your channel came up in my feed as I had been watching similar videos, so this is the first one I've watched. Good to see a local youtuber, very surprised actually!! I don't use that particular Aldi but it's not far away. After watching other youtuber food challenges I do think yours aren't as accurate as in this one, you aren't exclusively using just the items bought within the amount (cheese, strawberries, chicken etc are all extras)...but it was good to see what you made. And on the Aldi Vs Lidl - locally I stopped using Lidl as the fruit was either very soft and near or past best when I bought it, or didn't last long at all...that was several years ago though so may have changed.

I've personally used aldi & lidl for years, I think it's super value especially for meat. When I first went years ago some people turned their noses up, but 15 years on they all go there too lol

So entertaining thank you!

Excellent work! 🥰 Entertaining video! 😅

Hi I've just subscribed. I really love this video and you are brilliant so funny so likable. I look forward to watching your other videos ❤️❤️👍👍

You are very creative, but it all looks exhausting! Loving your vlogs. X

Grow your own basil! Buy one packet and root them in glass of water, plant once roots show!👍

Amazing. Love your video's ❤

Super! 👍👍👍

Brilliant watch again xx👍

you could of saved extra as the mushrooms you picked up had a pack at the back with 50% off so you could of saved more still ; they are great for reduced items

There was dried basil I think! It was the first one on the shelf!

Just add Parmesan you don’t need creamy things lol xx

Ok I need to know where her handbag is from I love it.

Wow well done!

I shop at Aldi in USA. Never seen used, second hand books for sale at my Aldi but it's a great idea! Also, we don't use the metric system here so didn't understand all the measurements you mentioned. For example our milk is sold in quart, half gallon or gallon containers. I always buy half gallon containers in 1 % as opposed to 2% or whole milk or non-fat types.

Thanks!

Amazing! Great to see! Well done!!!💗

You’re so funny & entertaining to watch, new subscriber here! I watched your get ready with me video, we go to Sheringham every August, heading there next Friday, love it xx

Aldi is he best !

I was a bit worried about you eating the quiche & getting glass shards 😮 New subscriber!

Hi I like watching you on KZfaq. How about the energy cost ? Sometimes it is cheaper to buy ready made quish which is not very expensive in Lidle. Am I wrong?

Is the risotto with basmati rice it doesnt look like arborio or carnoli? So more of a pilaf. It looks lovely. The creaminess of risotto comes from the arborio and the slow stirring in of hot stock plus butter and parmesan but if you don't have it you can use cream cheese 😊

Only found your channel a few days ago and love the videos. Love the batch cooking - as a single person I am always too exhausted to cook when I get home from work. Quick question, how do you reheat these ... can you reheat pasta and risotto?

Hello Rechenda, farmfoods does 2 litres of milk for £1 if you have one in the area 🙂

Aldi does an essentials bacon either smoked or unsmoked, think it's around £1.50.

20 million cat hairs. I know the feeling I like you. I will subscribe

With the bits you added, it's more than £9+, but still cheap! I'm not sure about some of the " recipies", but the fact you used up things from your fridge, and adapted to what you had, make this a good informative video.

Well done for supplementing what you already had with a tenners worth of stuff. Really stretched it a long way. What do you reckon Aldi or Lidl for best value?

Fab xx

I wouldn't risk superglueing something that touches your food, especially if it gets heated. The fumes or substances that might get transferred to your food ...

Meant ro say i do like the extensions however your short hair i think is more reflective of your fun quirky personality px

God I wish those were aldi prices here in Australia. Ours seem much more expensive

The way you pronounced Aldi makes it sound like Oldie. Good video. Imo Aldi is slightly classier than Lidl but theyre very much the same

Thanks for sharing

really like your glasses luv x

Please dont super glue then use in oven again think that would be a disaster some sort of aldehyde is used in the glue

Hello from Norway. Sorry for watching this 2 weeks to late but Girl you got some awesome bargains there 😊🎉 28p for spaghetti is absolutely amazing price. Ps love your videos 😊 Never been to Aldi, but do you ever go to ASDA?

Heya, good food prep ! & making Risotto you dont need to put anything creamy in it. xoxo

I would have used the milk😊in the risotto or stock. Really enjoyed the video ❤

Well done - great job …😊

How long do you keep the 6 portions of spaghetti in the fridge? Or do you freeze some? Xx

Well done on the paddle board sale 🤑

Ìt does seem somewhat more economical than Morrisons.

In the US I never get meat and Aldi. Lidl meat is fabulous

Do not waste lilly obriens choclates for the pud. They r delish and quite a luxurious treat i would put them in the same category as lindt my dad use to buy me a smaller box when he went on his travels and i was left with mum . Px

Nooooo!!!!! You dont put cream in the risotto! Ever… What you need extra is only the wine! Btw you are good in budgeting… i do the same thing when Im alone 😊

Tax bill?

That font looks like it’s in the helvetica family? But there’s something a bit different that’s telling the otherwise 😅

Those are most definitely not Aldi prices in Florida USA. Well done!

It's Aldi, not Oldi.

I thought you said oldi

Where did u find the dishes u used for prep?

6 days old pasta is not good idea to eat Only cooked meals I will eat for3 days.. You can freeze to keep fresh Take out from freezer night before work

The amount of stress I endured going into that shop today I compared the prices on the Tesco app. It's safe to say spending an extra £2.01 is so worth saving my sanity and sticking with Tesco!

💟

Eggs are cheaper at Iceland.

U can get 15 eggs for a similar price

Reading these comments, I can’t believe how rude people are! Personal insults? Really? If you don’t like the content, move on. No need for such nastiness!

long grain rice

Hey lady r good haul u probably would have paid around the same at lidl but its nice to shake things up a bit . R we no longer making our own spahetti from scratch ??? I always use to think it was a bit of a faff. I bet u r glad u have come to the end of the muscle food chicken breasts lol. I add a little double cream into my risotto. I think adding coleslaw would be a step too far for me. Great you managed to sell the paddle board i didnt realise they were so expensive new i give 3 to the charity shop and 3 wet suits when the girls decided to stop partaking in any water related sports whoops no wonder they were cross lol . What will you eat with the risotto ?? I usually rustle up a salad. Very impressive meals for the week now u just need to sort brekkie and lunch . U will have the tax bill sorted in no time px

I think i have a small quiche dish thats in my pile of bits i need to list on my vinted if u r interested px

Lol your portions are tiny 🤣🤣 Hope uou can gix your quiche dish. If not you always gind them in charity shops.

I am finding your content inspiring as I waste too much. Please use your freezer more though, as foods should only be kept in the fridge 3 days generally.

Oops, fix.. 🤣

I like Lidl more than Aldi because Lidl sell a lot more of German,/European products. I lived in Germany and lived/ used them. Also the " penny mart". I think Aldi is becoming more like Asda in appearance.

Just living the wartime dream and lifestyle and Frugal to the Core of my life and Anti State and Renouncing EVERYTHING TO DO with the nwo and the Governments xxx Just found you

Oh my lord. Expensive? Come to Australia then you’ll know expensive.

🐈‍⬛❤😻

Aldi is better and staff are more helpful.....

It's not 66p a meal if you add in the chicken breasts is it?
