Thanks so much for watching!
I absolutely love these budget recipes. Especially rn with prices and just after Christmas and new year cause it really really helps right now.
This is such a good video really shows you can eat well cheaply and tasty thankyou .was laughing when you did the waffles must be the only human being on the planet thats never had a waffle!!!!!x😂
Thank you so much!
Waffles are pretty much just a fancy looking pancake 😂 you’re not missing much.
Lots of great meals in this video, I will be trying all of these over the next couple of weeks. You are such a frugal cook. As a pensioner on a limited budget I have already adopted some of your meals into my regular meal plan. Love how as a busy wife and mum you take the time to make such fabulous videos to inspire us.
Wow, thank you so much! Such kind words and glad you enjoy my content ☺️
I love all your recipes. As a vegetarian I have never measured out ingredients for meals, unless I am baking something that needs precision! I find that people who just follow recipes are more limited, because they worry about having the right amount of ingredients - experimentation is half the fun!
100%
Loved your video 😊. We make most of those meals already to make sure we stay under budget when it comes to food - the only thing that I would recommend is adding a source of protein to every meal so you stay full for longer (lentils, beans, chickpeas, tofu, tvp).
So true!
That was great ,some good meals for non meat eaters..thank you .happy new year.x
You are a natural, very good cook,terrific video 😊
Thank you so much!
Completely off topic but I LOVE your kitchen tiles!! Food looks amazing too 😋
Thank you! They are actually stickers 😂. I have a video of how we did this diy cheap kitchen reno for under £200.
Where did you get your vitamix from?
Just bought it from vitamix ☺️. We got our first one second hand but after having that 6 years we decided to invest in a new one as we felt it was worth it.
@@ameliasfrugallife I looked but thought they were so expensive!
@@natalielong7804 yes they definitely are, I used cash back apps and waited for sales when we did buy it. I have got a video where I explain the few things we DO spend money on and that’s something we do feel as been worth it personally. But you could definitely try out a second hand one as they last for ages!
