At the time of this comment £10 is roughly $12.45. Here in the US we have sales tax added at the register, here it is 7%. We are pretty limited vs the UK. Videos like yours have inspired me to actually pay attention and see if it possible to eat that cheap here and I found pasta around 48cent, rice around a dollar, etc. I thought about doing a US version of this challenge, just to see what is possible, it might not be possible to pull the foods from a single source like you do.
Maybe you could do £10 with only reduced stuff from a supermarket. (Usually, the most stuff is reduced like an hour or two before closing). P.s. love your channel recently found it. This may not be your intention, but as someone struggling for money, it's good to get some fun ideas. I'm really hoping your channel continues to grow!
@@Masterofchodes the world we live in now, when most go for reduced vs fresh now. back in the day reduced stuff was just pot luck now its essential to many
I'm on maternity leave so funds are low, and I'm enjoying this channel so much too. It's keeping my mind busy thinking about how I can make food cheaply.
I must say, in Manchester at least, it seems most supermarkets only mark down by 10% for food on its last legs. If there's an offer of 2 for £8 or something the reduced amount often makes it cost more than it would on offer. I can't work out the reasoning for this but I'd rather buy less and fresh. It's a big adjustment but it makes a huge difference in quality. I'm certainly not knocking the yellow labels as I used to use this system often but the supermarkets are abusing our pockets and it's not fair
From experience, B&M seem to sell a lot of things which cannot be found in any other shops. One of my personal favourites are their Milka mini cakes. They are cake bars with chocolate chips are chocolate syrup.
Having worked at b and ms warehouse as a forklift driver i can tell you it does not stand for bargain maddness 😂 b&m basically stands for the founders name and surname, pretty boring, but a lot people seem to think that b&m means bargains and more or bargains madness... on another note, great vid as always!
My older sister used to work for them in the late 90's early 2000's for a business called Natural World. Pretty sure it was the same owners who went on to form B&M
I use that butter chicken sauce regularly,but I use cream instead of milk and add extra butter and a bit of sugar to take the spice down a little. It's gorgeous!
Surprised yours had no fresh stuff. Mine does a huge bag of apples for £1 and loads of similarly priced fruit and veg, just the basics like carrots and potatoes nothing fancy.
Outstanding 🎉 I have to go to dollarama tomorrow and pick up some food to keep costs down. I will be a complete broke ass in May, and you have inspired me. Well done 👍
I shop in B&M a lot. I find their cheap bacon to be pretty good too. They also sell willow spread cheap. Also try the mayflower sauces. I especially like the black bean sauce.. Alternatively I shop in farmfoods too. And I can live for a week easily on 20 quid.. Cool video.
Love your videos. You are a great cook and inspire me to be more venturous with meals. Could you do a video where Carolina buys you ingredients for £5 or £10 - then you have to make something with the mystery ingredients.
A friend of mine took a photo of a certain Boris Johnson at the checkout of our local B&M just after he moved in to the neighbouring village last year. Since then I have found it difficult stomach shopping there.
@@ScottyBugler2005 I went back a couple of weeks ago. Sat in the car for half an hour listening to the end of the radio play I had on. Went into Halfords to check something out. Then into B&M, back into Halfords before going home. A week later a penalty charge for £100 dropped on the mat. I had been parked for two hours and ten minutes. If I had parked in Tesco across the road I could have stayed there all day.
That cheesy mug pasta was something I lived on when I was living on my own and had basically zero income! They were 4 for £1 back then and I would chuck in some peas and topped it with some grated cheese. Solid lunch.
I usually don't like them tin potato's, when I boil them because they're so flavourless. but they look decent in air fryer Thanks you Sam I'm going try that 😁
Where I live there's a B&M and Home Bargains right next door to each other. I often wonder if there's going to be a West Side Story type gang war eventually.
Here in Tunbridge Wells our industrial estate has Marks & Spencers Asda B&M and Aldi fairly close to each other and down past the Pantiles area we have Sainsbury's and Lidl. Tesco exist but only as an express/metro option in town and a large shop near Pembury
The less connective tissue there is in a steak, the better it will be rare or blue. Some cuts aren't great cooked like it though. At least in my opinion
It denotes bargain madness, but it’s not what b&m stands for. It’s name actually stands for Billington & Mayman. After the original ownership under Malcolm Billington and Brian Mayman way back in 1978. I myself actually work for b&m.
I'm someone who loves blue steak too, the amount of judgement you get from people makes me laugh lol 😂, nice to see someone showing you can live on a small budget.
@@tompollock5923 I've heard of steak tartare but not whatever you're on about and I didn't say it couldn't be raw but not cold it's not nice cold I said warmed through not cooked but don't worry it's all good
I have never shopped in B&M. It looks like it's similar to Wilkos, when that existed. That Naked noodle soup is really nice, I buy that quite often but it's only a snack. It's not at all filling.
We’re two completely different companies. Us and The Range. I know that there’s a similarity between the uniforms, but they’re not linked to us. Neither is Home Bargains. As staff, we seem to get a lot of that from customers. I think there’s a misconception that they’re part of b&m. Although we do own Heron Frozen Foods.
You clearly haven't been to Trago Mills, (can be found at Newton Abbot, Merthyr Tydfil, Liskeard and Falmouth), they sell food, instruments, bathrooms, carpets, garden stuff, car stuff and soooo much more!
@@kiawho7226 it was originally named Billington & Mayman but after HR did there public survey that found nealy all customers said bargains & More bargains so that said it can be it ither as no one knew Ho billington & Mayman was . Hope the information helps. Not a clear answer but you are kinda right 👍
£5 per day is a lot for food... also 86 calories isn't a meal, theres more calories in a single banana! Each day you were ate less calories than what a 2 year old needs, very alarming and unsustainable.
I am watching this for the 2nd time, as I do with most of your videos. That says everything, I think. HOWEVER ! Not specific to this video, but please, please could you post a disclaimer before you do videos wearing your Spider teeshirt !! It's illogical, I know, and I am getting better ,but that teeshirt is just a bit too much if one is arachnophobic..
Only seen 2 of your videos and they bug me. I think the other was lidi or aldi. some cheap shop and it feels like you reality aren't trying to get your moneys worth. like buy flour, yeast and make some bread or something, get more creative with your £10, for some people; me when I was younger, yes inflation etc, £10 had to feed a family of 3 for a week.
B&M, where you "go for a few bits" and come out with a trolley load every time !
Another great video Sam
Going back next week for steak and garden furniture
@@SamWilder. Dont blame ya, get ready for BBQ weather soon, maybe.
Yep. I work in BnM and when I work tills you can guarantee at least 2 people per shift will say this! lol

Please reach out to Atomic Shrimp and do a budget challenge with him?!
blue is the best way to eat a steak😂
I’ve watch like 3/4 of your videos now and I actually quite enjoy them so now I’ve subscribed can’t wait for more, Keep it up doing great work! :)
Ah thanks so much!
Mike Jeavons vibes here, job well done
B&M from what was shown here reminds me of a Family Dollar store or a Dollatlr General store in the US.
you need to put butter in the pan for the tomatoes to make butter chichen suce. As a note.
these are good for camping
Elephants are my favorite animal! Now that I know they're out there, I'm going to have to look for elephant mug, too. Good video 😋 😋
I’ve always loved elephants 🐘

I love the tinned potatoes in the air fryer! Will give that a try.
Great video. The curry looked really nice. The box bowls look a great invention. Guessing they were designed with students or campers in mind?

Aye! 🔵
Nice shot of Chatham waterfront. Usually the alcoholics hang around that area so you picked a good time
Good to know. Phew!
I love your elephant mug . Another great video
excited to watch this one
Hope you enjoyed!
I never watch food content on youtube, but you make your videos so informative and captivating i look forward to them constantly!
Ahhh thanks dude. Appreciate it so much!
Hey Sam! Hope you had a good day!😊❤
Thank you! And you?
@@SamWilder. could have been better but your video helped😊
that steak looks so good, and those potato's were done perfectly.
Steak at B&M 🤯
@@SamWilder. I know its pretty crazy!
That b&m store sounds like the grocery outlet we have in the north weast in the US
The trick with the mug shot is. Cover the mug with a small plate to keep the heat in and leave it for 10 minutes. Gets thick, creamy and soft
0:35 hey wait a second.... that't the B&M at Chatham. Right?? Your a local celebrity to me at this point. Ngl, didn't know you lived in kent
New here so I’ve been touring the county a bit haha. Hardly a celebrity though :p
@@SamWilder. celebrity to your followers :)
I just tied to do this as I watched your home bargains one, I could do it for three days but the food sucked
Sometimes can be pot luck as to what you find!
You should do Poundland next they seem to have quite extensive freezer and food sections now days. Or failing that pound stretcher would be good
There’s one on the channel somewhere :D
The loss leaders in stores are good, stir fry ect can be seriously cheap. It is a good store.
That steaks raw not blue pal, you need to make sure it's warmed through after searing in the oven.
It's not chicken. Absolutely nothing wrong with raw beef. You never heard of steak tartaric?
@@tompollock5923 I've heard of steak tartare but not whatever you're on about and I didn't say it couldn't be raw but not cold it's not nice cold I said warmed through not cooked but don't worry it's all good
We use to have frozen food at the store I work at
But got taken out few years ago
Used to have those here in New Zealand d years ago and brought out by sanitarium. Ow they don't exist
I’m pretty sure those rectangular boxes made into bowls too. 🤔
Sam said in his sped up bit on the noodle scene he said it takes too long when your waiting doesn’t it
mayflower curry powder wouldve been my go to 1.15 or something and u just add water and tastes just like a chinese curry
I was just I’m B&M, I wish I had seen the soups they looked great 😊
I have never shopped in B&M. It looks like it's similar to Wilkos, when that existed.
That Naked noodle soup is really nice, I buy that quite often but it's only a snack. It's not at all filling.
Curry actually looked pretty decent
I worked there years back. I think after eating from B&M you will for 24 hours 😀
By the way, NM stands for bargains and more
Home bargains have a good selection on fruit and veg. Also does fresh meat. Love videos💖🐩🐩💖👍👍🦉🕊🌈
Have you ever done a video about Asda essentials range?
Those tinned potatoes look tasty done in the air fryer
It stands for Billington and Mayman
Google told me otherwise 🥲
That steak was cooked more than you normally like it, you say? Do you normally just walk it through a warm room?
Have you tried the range one in Hull has a freezer section

you need to try the. 5,4,3,2,1,0 challenge from Deano's channel !
I will check it out!
B&M stands for Billington & Mayman, the owners/past owners.
Google lied to me!!
Have you thought about doing a £10 Home Bargins video, I think it might be an interesting one.
It’s already on the channel my friend!
I'll watch it now 😁

My B&M is like in the main town centre so it’s like 36 minute walk from my house so 9 minute dribe
I love b&m it's brilliant it's so good for tins and stuff
You have a lovely carrer and I hope you hit 100k subd
