Honestly Alexandra you are amazing! How you feed a family of 11 on such a low amount is brilliant. I can only imagine how busy your evenings are when you cook all these meals, but I would love to see some of the meals cooked and served, in particular your salmon meal sounds really delicious, so I hope you are able to film this. Also, what do you all eat for lunch? XX
A tip: buy large bags of lentils, beans, legumes and pulses from Asian / Indian supermarkets and not from the main supermarkets! They are cheap, last for ages and are highly nutritious and versatile.
So very true!! I used to buy dried goods in bulk, we just don’t have much storage space for that type of thing, I need to sort my life out and move things around a bit so I can bulk buy again 😁
@@lukuma79 lots of people buy both organic and non-organic, but you don’t have to take my advice if you only ever buy 100% organic! In fact you don’t have to take my advice at all if you don’t want to! I’m sure it gets difficult feeding large families, and this is a healthy solution. People often overlook these staples and don’t include them in their diets not realising how ridiculously cheap they are. You might be privileged and not be living in poverty, but so families are struggling - I’m thinking of them when I’m sharing my tips, not the privileged.
Have you tried the Daylesford non - homogenised milk ? its so good just like the milk man milk from back in the day, where the cream rises to the top, id say its second best to raw, and it freezes well. Daylesford have their own website that you can order from that im obsessed with haha. I think thats a really good price for your shopping. Oh and that smash I got in my haul was gross 🤢 had it with stew tonight, I even added milk and butter but there was no making that nice 🤣
I LOVE your grocery hauls!!! I love seeing what you buy, and you have different names for things like "chips" for fries. I like that! I am watching from Arkansas in the USA. ♥ 225 pounds is about $287 US dollars. Just as you said in this day and age, and unfortunately, I might add, that is reasonable. It is what it is, and you have a lot of people to feed! Do you still have a garden in your yard? Or do you just have the allotment? My girls and I are learning how to garden. We are doing quite well with it this year. We've had lots of rain this summer.
Love your grocery hauls! We buy as much organic as we can too but it’s just getting far too expensive 😢 please do more grocery hauls in the future 😃
Thank you! Will do!
Love your hauls they are the best ❤
Thank you so much 💖
I think that is a very reasonably priced haul. Well done Alex
Thanks so much Jeanette x
I've always gone with the rule of buying the best you can afford , you're doing great and it's lovely to see you vlogging again
So true! And also it’s better to get less good quality stuff than loads of rubbish stuff.
Absolutely, I find proper foods fill children up better aswell so they aren't constantly in the biscuits
You are a master at budget planning meals! Very well done. I could learn a thing or two haha and I love that little William!!
Thanks so much! 😊
you are doing an amazing job 💪✨🩷
Thank you so much!!
Absolutely loving your videos xxx
That’s so kind 😊

Thank you so much! I will be filming more cooking videos and will film the making of the salmon dish this week.
I absolutely love your hauls and vlogs! You have such a lovely home and family 🥰 just seems so cosy and special. Thank you for sharing x
You are so welcome!

I would prefer organic..

You did very well :). Some of the meals sound lovely. I wish you were local I have an abundance of plums and I will never be able to process them all
You're so lucky! I need a plum tree 😆

Yes, that milk is good, I'm just on a really tight budget at the mo.
Such a shame the Smash was gross! xx

Thanks! Yes, we do still have our garden as well as the allotment, we've had plenty of rain here as well.
Little William 🥰 so cute!
He is!
I think it's good as per person, it's 22.50 I bet most smaller families spend. More per person xx
True, even less than that per person!! It’s not easy but I think I’m managing ok 🤣 xx
❤
You are my love. 😘😘😘
Thanks my darling 🥰
Love your videos, but why not drink raw milk?
