Don’t worry about the soy sauce going off. Some expert cook in the US said that you could use it forever, because of the high sslt content. Growing up our family would buy soy sauce by the half gallon and we’re still at alive and kicking! Enjoyed listening to what you were planning on doing with your purchases.

I also just started to watch cheaper ways nz

Try garlic chives and scallions for the green leaves.. the scallions will multiply in a season and can be used like onions

Hi There! Alison from Essex England here. Another interesting and enjoyable video, thanks. Ahh, cherries, we love them too. however, the birds got there before us again this year. None left when we went foraging. Blackbirds seem to especially love them. I think you shop very wisely! Our budget for the month is £160 per month for the 2 of us and our 2 Budgies and 2 Guinea-pigs and it covers everything we need. Mind you, it's getting harder to keep to it as the cost of everything just keeps rising. What do you generally buy when you do the bulk shop you mentioned? We buy plain white, wholemeal and gluten free self Raising flour twice a year. Rice and milk powder we buy every 2 years. We generally buy organic oats in bulk too, but often it is no cheaper than buying packs from the supermarket. Nuts,seeds,dried fruit etc we buy in bulk occasionally. I started making my own bread when the children were small. Back then i had to make 3 loaves every other day. Now i only bake 2 loaves a week and they are for my husband because i have been gluten intolerant for about 10 years. So now i have to just enjoy the smell! I don't have any ground Mace in, but i do have Mace Blades, so i had a sniff of them for you. I would say they have a musty, mildly sweet spicey smell. I use them in pickled cucumbers . Not sure if the ground Mace would have the same smell or not. Kind Regards Ali.

My favourite veg shop! I often check out their daily specials as I go past them every day. Since moving to this region in 2023 I love how much cheaper you can buy things at these types of stores.

Yes you watch Sarahs channel she got some really good meal ideas and cheap cooking recipes yea her channel Is called cheaper ways it's a very great channel

You did so well with you budget ❤❤😊😊 i also enjoy going to fruit and veg, you get good produce for much less.

Nice video enjoyed your shopping trip. I also follow Sarah and have made lots of her recipes. Need to try making my own yoghurt

Wow I love avocado but here, in my part of Canada, they are so expensive! I was at Costco yesterday and you could get a bag of 5 for 10.99.

Another great video! May I ask how you make the yoghurt from milk powder? Would like to give it a go. We go through 6-7L of yoghurt every few weeks.
