I really appreciate you taking the time to create these types of videos. I'm coming across so many "what I feed my family in a week on a budget videos" that focus on the absolute cheapest way to feed a family but with some unhealthy items I'm not willing to use anymore. Your content is very helpful to me!

Your videos have kept me calm and content during the evenings whilst he’s resting plus given me such inspiration for when he’s in better health. You have a beautiful family and are such a lovely mother. Much love xx

Another great way to bulk out and bring the cost down of meals like Cottage/Shepherds Pie and Spaghetti Blognese and Chili Co Carne is to use half meat and half tinned lentils,you can get 3 for £1.50 in Tesco and one tin is more than enough for big batch and if you cook them out with the meat at the same time you will never know the difference....i do this all the time and it's so much healthier as well

Ha ha thanks for your reply. Currently not eating bread as trying the keto lifestyle, luckily not missing it. Not long ago learnt (every day's a school day! & not sure why I never knew it before) instead of eating your way down the loaf, you should replace top crust back in the bag to keep loaf fresh. I started doing this, but it would always frustrate & annoy me I had to wait for bread to be finished before I could lay my hands on the two coveted crusts. LOL. Not sure where the love came from other than the memory of always being told by mum and Nan "eat your crusts it'll make your hair go curly" (though they probably meant the crust on each slice rather than the end pieces). And this was nuts really as an old wives tale given genetically how curly my family's hair is anyway!! FYI best crusts of all....homemade bread. Have a lovely day xx

I love this but I thought you could challenge yourself to make a meal with £3 coins. What I mean is to go to shop and spend just these £3 and make something. I recently spoke to a single mum who has very very little. I donated some of our food we over stocked up on. She explained to me that she never has enough money left over to stock up on things or buy things like spices as it cost too much. Things like big bag of "anything" us out of her small budget even if it means it would get split into cheaper meals. Does that make sense? Meeting her made me really appreciate what we have. I never pay attention to being able to buy the most basic ingredients.
@KerryWhelpdale4 жыл бұрын
If she goes down the Middle East isle the big bags of spices are £1.. they are such great value and so much better than buying the pits as most of the pots are £1 too and have about 1/20th of the amount of spices than the big bags do.. they are great.. when you next see her, defo tell her about those isles as so many people don’t know about them :) xxx
@alicewilson42744 жыл бұрын
She said the problem is that she rarely has pound spare. She will go food shopping with 2.50 in her pocket buying only the cheapest and discounted products. I never really thought about how hard it must be living like that, often having no oil at home and no money for it etc. She is a good person, paying her rent wonderful mum. Dad walked away and she is spending almost all of her money on childcare. The thought is that if she manages for long enough kids will get funded hours in school and she will start having more to live on. I was thinking I will make her a little package with usual spices, stock cubes, tins and some dry goods like cous cous. But I would love to have more resources for her too 😊
