How Much Food Can £5 Buy you at Morrisons in 2024?
I have food on my face in the entire narration recording...
Imagine walking down the street in 2024 and finding a £5 note on the floor. What can £5 buy you in 2024? What can you do with it? Do you spend it on a quick meal? Or do you put it in savings?
What if you wanted to use it to survive, and buy as much as you can from the supermarket as you possibly can? This week I took my £5 to Morrisons to see exactly what I could get and how far we could stretch it.

I really like sugar too, and you can never go wrong with pb&j. I have an easy way to fold your omelet more the American way than the French trifold way. Wait until your omelet is cooked through when it is still flat in your pan. Then to plate you start sliding the flat omelet onto your plate then fold the omelet over as the second half is sliding out of the pan. Even heavier omelets with lots of filling fold well. Thanks for another great video!

I can’t fold omelettes either. I put it under the grill instead and it puffs up. Frittata or Spanish omelette I think.

@ktjai9445 3 ай бұрын

Instead of flipping my omlette i always put it under the grill for a few minuteswhen its cooked underneath, saves a disaster lol and it makes the omelette so light and fluffy and it rises a little too.

As an ex pat, I am so interested in your videos! Normally Brit food is cheaper than here in the US, but your eggs are obscene in price. I can get 12 or 18 for the price you pay for 6 there. My omelettes always end up like a scrambled mess too, so don't feel bad about that lol! I miss rice pudding so much!

Get a good pan as suggested. One with a metal handle so you can finish it under a preheated grill. I make a frittata this way and it serves quite a few people. I usually have some leftover for the next day and either eat it cold or hot after zapping in the microwave.

Where do we draw the line at pantry ingredients? A sack of potatoes or a grain of salt?

@helvete983 4 ай бұрын

With the cheaper ramen you should absolutely make your own sauce if you can, otherwise you are getting a salty soup. One change I'd add to your sauce is I'd actually add the egg (uncooked) to the sauce and scramble it into the sauce, then mix into the ramen. I just find it adds a little extra texture throughout, but maybe it's me because if I see a whole boiled egg it won't survive more than a few bites of ramen. Another common trick which I'm sure you are aware of is make a soft fried egg and top the ramen with that. The joke adds a creamy rich texture and the white again a little more texture throughout. Great channel!

I used to enjoy your videos but recently you’ve been adding in more and more ‘pantry’ items…tomato sauce? Peanut butter? Jam? Honey? Soy sauce? And then you had dinner with Carolina! Not really what you can eat for a fiver anymore…just a bloke making food then…nothing new or unusual or interesting that sets your video apart from a gazillion others

@alwayslearning9272 4 ай бұрын

I usually would support your additions with the thought in mind that in the end you're showing "what you can buy for £5, however I think by the end of the video seeing how many extra things were used, plus a whole different dinner altogether, when you made a point to say at the start of the video that you were "trying to not use much pantry stuff" but then actually used quite a lot in the end, that did then bother me for that reason. Just to get you to see it from a different viewpoint. 🤔

@karensmith7927 Ай бұрын

Totally agree, it’s hardly a £5 challenge
