K but tesco finest has a £10 meal deal which is mains, side, pudding and wine/beer or a soft drink which is usually a 6 pack. Could have saved some money there.
This is exactly how plenty of people eat. I would say about half of my work colleagues eat like this. I am one of the few people I know that regularly cook from scratch and that's mostly because I am tight rather than for any other reason.
Buerre D'Isigny isn't made up it means Butter of Isigny-sur-Mer which is the normandy area of northwestern france. the butter is made from the milk cows in this region.
@@davidlewis1787 let me guess... You only consume grass fed, pasture raised, hand fed by the local farmer, humanley slaughtered meat? And veg is bad because of antinutrients ext?
I worked in a Kerry foods factory in Burton on Trent (Staffordshire) that made all the Tesco finest meals after I left school. They had a staff shop where you could pretty much do your months shopping for about 20 pound a month. If I remember correctly the Curry's are about 30p there. Even as a broke ass student I would not eat that shit. I seen a guy drop a tray of chocolate cakes once there and just pick them up and ship them. There was also a issue with someone intentionally putting bits of rubber gloves in meals we never did figure out who it was. Oh and there was a job putting lids on to the ready meals , it cut your fingers to pieces. I often seen guys with bleeding fingers and there rubber gloves cut by there nails on the finger tips bleeding into the food. Most wouldn't report it because we would have to stop the entire line and destroy all the food. The most disgusting thing there was a wellie room that had wellies provided for you. Often you would be putting on warm wellies that someone before you had just done a 12 hour shift in. Then you would take them off and someone else would stick them on. Enjoy your food though 😂😂.
In comparison to what he normally has to eat during week ons with the cheapest products on the market, average/slightly above average price products shock him. Obviously you can grab a whole bag of like 20 frozen sausages from most supermarkets that taste alright.. Or grab some nice butcher sausages, but you only get about 6-8 for the price of those 20.
@michael browne I don't understand the point of your comment. We all know the nutritional values of those dirt cheap food items are poor.. No point did I debate that 😂
It's not expensive individually but in total. £20 he spent on food that day is a lot just for home cooking. He could have got takeaway food like a coffee, sandwich and donut from greggs for breakfast, a big mac meal for lunch nd then a curry for £20 and not have to cook anything.
I don't know the equivalent in freedom bux, but $2.50 for not frozen sausages is pretty cheap. Of course the cost of food here is crazy. Isee people loading up carts in overpriced places like Target and have no idea how they can afford it. I sure can't.
If I remember well, there used to be a "mix and match'-deal on Tesco's Finest like, 'A side/A main/A dessert and a drink for 10 Pounds". Didn't you take advantage of that? - Also do a week without sugar and THE CAVEMAN's diet!!! (congrats on the book!)
YAYYYYYYYYYYYY a proper week on. Fanks v mooooooch Mike 4 taking the time out of ur book launch, the obligatory autographs and audience with the queen etc, 2 make an excellent post. I wish you all the very best.
I’m reading your book and so far I’m really enjoying it. Didn’t enjoy explaining what it was about to my co workers but it peeked one ladies interest! I can’t help but giving him your voice I don’t know why,it’s bloody good mate!
I now eat mostly saturated fat. The evidence for its being bad for the heart is shaky at best. I wish I could get beurre d’Isigny that easily here... usually it’s just Kerrygold Irish butter. So leeks equal posh ready-made food? Does Tesco’s Finest include ingredients like raw potatoes, raw meat, eggs, flour? Or do you have to eat mostly ready-made food, which is usually more expensive?
markiangooley I’ve recently purchased Tesco finest potatoes because they’re really buttery (so don’t need much adding to them for mash.. cutting back on certain things), so yes, they do indeed do Tesco finest in veg / fruit etc. But since it’s Mike.. I’ll be surprised if we see cooking from scratch !
Hi mike love your videos I was wondering as I’m a very busy person and don’t have a lot of time to read.would you be doing a audible version of the book cheers 😬
The secret to wearing a monocle is spirit gum around the frame. This means you don't have to be squinty or have to shove the thing into your socket to get it to stay.
How far in advance do you film these? Or did you buy the food and freeze it first? Your dinner was out of date on Jan 30th! Love these videos and am looking forward to the rest of the week :)
Prince William has no hair and is too inbred and stupid to string this many words together. Also his teeth take up 70% of his face and he looks older than his dad.
A friend who worked for the supermarket warehouses said there is no difference in the finest best of etc ranges all the same just packaged differently even the m&s food is same as bog standard food just packaging is different
You've jam packed your fridge for the week but some of that will have gone off by the end of it. Why can't you buy midweek as well and then add up the cost. You can also cut down the amount that you eat as well.
Great video and congratulations on the release of your new book...considering my name is Viraj I can relate to Viral (full of spunk) lol love your videos, take care. A signed copy would be amazing!!!!!
I loved all your week ons I thought they were very entertaining and I think a week on B would be very entertaining come on people think of all the fun banana jokes we could make
this is the third scene i've seen from you that reminds me so much of eddie izzard. color me tickled pink. congrats on the book coming out today and your new week on and all of the amazing things
As far as I know, you haven't done a week on weight watchers yet. They have decent frozen meals, soups and deserts. Maybe a week on that would be interesting. Also cause I noticed that Mike likes to bend the rules at times. Items can only purchased from the weight watchers range. So if he gets veggies from the supermarket, that would not be allowed. If he uses salt, butter, etc that is not from weight watchers also not allowed. He is allowed to drink tap water but no drink that isn't from the weight watchers range.
Finest meals hardly ever put microwave instructions on even when you can. I think it's because putting microwave instructions would sort of do the product down a bit and cheapen it.
You should do a week on whatever Grace buys you. She can then buys you some wierd and wonderful things depending how nice you are to her. X 😁😁😁
that could actually be hilarious.
I'd watch this.
Wow, I didn’t know i wanted to see this, until you suggested it, fantastic suggestion.
Oh yes!
“A week on Grace”
Tesco's finest?! The new book must be selling well ;)
Are you two siblings?
Ay I saw you in the Yogscast TTT video
Thought I recognised the name
I knew you would watch this channel
Didn't expect to see you here

That's true but the drinks aren't branded with the Finest label, so off limits by Mike's rules.
@@CompaSystem some of the wine is and I believe so are the presse's. Only know because I worked there for 8 years.
@@jammyc3442 Ah fair, I'd never noticed it!
So the next week on will be the ASDA Extra Special to contrast the ASDA smart price.
How about a week on Waitrose Essentials?
Add Sainsburys Taste The Difference.
Bet ya can find caviar in the the cheap list for them
Ainsburys Taste The Whoops
Thank you for your replies can't wait for the next week on serious of videos.
Andrew Whitney calm down Hes not a bloody millionaire
Grace won’t be joining me for breakfast.
20 seconds later grace joins him for breakfast.
As acknowledged later in the video
Tesco Finest doesn’t begin with “B”
Thank God.
Thank God.
Thank God.
Ah, but "B" is the first letter in "Bloody hell, that stuff is overpriced!"
Thank god.
Mike's eating habits are literally why the entire world takes the piss out of British food.
Dear world. This is not how most of us live.
Quoth TheRaven but it is how most of us eat. The amount of people that actually cook and create their own meals is shockingly low
This is exactly how plenty of people eat. I would say about half of my work colleagues eat like this. I am one of the few people I know that regularly cook from scratch and that's mostly because I am tight rather than for any other reason.
You guys have some amazing fish and chips though. I had some in a pub when I was over there and it was delicious.
His eating habits are good compared to mine
I live off Microwave Meals, Frozen Pizza and Snacks
Sadly, you are wrong, but I salute you for knowing how to cook and eat well
Buerre D'Isigny isn't made up it means Butter of Isigny-sur-Mer which is the normandy area of northwestern france. the butter is made from the milk cows in this region.
It's called sarcasm
R/woosh
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SUFFER! How dare you eat decent food for a week.
It's only a precursor to the next series "a month of being broke as shit because of the Tesco finest week"
His bank balance is suffering
He didn’t. He ate salt and sugar and modified starch and hydrogenated vegetable oil and preservatives and cheap meat in expensive looking packages
@@davidlewis1787 let me guess... You only consume grass fed, pasture raised, hand fed by the local farmer, humanley slaughtered meat? And veg is bad because of antinutrients ext?
Next up is A Week On Nothing because Mike spent all his money on this week.
A Week On nothing but what he already has in his cupboard would be interesting. And free.
or a week on begging for Money.
A week on what Mike can find in bins
Haha a week on starvation and whining.
@@tendersheep667 No, we already had enough of that when he was living off those emergency rations...

Fabulous post... the Finest actually
George Carlin's food/advertising rant on 40 Years Of Comedy come to mind when I'll be watching this Week On, LOL
The prices are eye-watering, it is a shame that often the 'finest' products dont live up to the cost.
All the best Mike!
Could NOT stop laughing at your monocle and posh accent, cracking me up!!!
'Tesco Finest? Are you bloody made of money?'
It's easier if you don't eat double the portion you're supposed to like 2 fishcakes lol🤣
his patreon probably helped cover the costs atleast partially
Fatcat Jeavons. There's a new name on the aristocratic dance floor.
Just a heads up - the Caramelised onion sausages/burgers are incredible
The monocle bit was truly fabulous
£2.50 for sausages, £1 for bread and £2 for butter.... do people actually think that's expensive?? That's pretty good value in my books! :/
haha thats exactly what I thought 😂

I like watching you eat "nice" foods.
What are you doing in Uni and what modules are you taking?
You should give Basil his own week on, and get him to review the cheapest vs the most expensive cat food from different shops
“Whole milk you see darling!” 😂😂😂
YAYYYYYYYYYYYY a proper week on. Fanks v mooooooch Mike 4 taking the time out of ur book launch, the obligatory autographs and audience with the queen etc, 2 make an excellent post. I wish you all the very best.

We need a week on Basil.
Just a week of Basil videos
Honestly Mike. If you put your mind to it you could do a pretty awesome Alan Partridge impersonation
Hi mike love your videos I was wondering as I’m a very busy person and don’t have a lot of time to read.would you be doing a audible version of the book cheers 😬
Ooooh you are spoiling yourself this week. Posh posh ! 💓 the milk ! Channel island proper moo cow gold top ! 😻
Did you have a stroke?
Why do you always undercook things?
It’s a meal that keeps on giving.
mipmipmipmipmip what?
My family overcook things to make sure I dont get food poisoning
@mipmipmipmipmip what's that meant to mean??
😁😂 hilarious....not all of us undercook food lol
Hahaaa the monocle and accent is brilliant. Excited for this 👍🏻
Piss taking crap
What is it with finest range and leeks?
This video is bloody phenomenal
We need a video on Basil for trying a week on different cat food 🙀😻

This was probably filmed weeks ago and scheduled to up whilst he films something else
Monocle people shop at Harrods foodhall, not Tesco lol
Actually wives of Saudi Princes and oligarchs shop at Harrod’s, the aristocracy shop at Fortnum’s
Buzzing for a week on! 😂 love ur week on stuff 😁 xx
😂 you blew your food budget for the entire month? Damn Mike, that fancy food better be worth it, and it better last.
Mike's posh voice sounds like Victor Meldrew. Lol
Thank GOD it’s not “A week on B”
kizkad would be B week on B
I think a day on the letters would be better.
Give ya Mrs a week of the D
A week on Basil.
So, channelling your inner Jacob Rees Mogg, interesting.
Can you do a week on talking posh? It was hilarious!
😂😂 you never fail to make me laugh love your videos Mike 👍❤️
Prince William does another week on....
So it's not just me who sees it!!
Prince William has no hair and is too inbred and stupid to string this many words together. Also his teeth take up 70% of his face and he looks older than his dad.
hey mike :-D Will your book be available in Ireland?
The fish tasted fishy... Who'd have thought?
Not all fish has a strong flavor.
HOW did you spread the butter so easily on the bread? Unless the butter was room temp?
Probably has been left out of the fridge for 10 mins
Maybe butter crock I just bought one it super nice to have soft butter
When is the audiobook of Viral out then?
Nice, I like Tesco and often the finest range is reduced to a decent price if you buy it on sale
In Ireland, there is not a lot of vegitarian choices though
Congrats on your book :]
* buys fishcakes *
" its nice but it's quite fishy" smh
Aaahhh, finally we get to see young Master Jeavons in his proper habitat!
I laughed through this entire vid! Thanks, Mike!!!
Is minted peas a regional thing? You did another week on that had those.
Well done Mike. An excellent return to week ons. Love it!
I’m thinking Mike’s got a pay raise, eating like a king for the week, after the last day on this, your going to be on the phone to Wonga for a loan! 🤣
So for that price from Aldi I can get 6 sausages with 97% pork
It's fishy, because it's FISH!
Yeah Tesco!!! Be good if you can compare all the four big brands. X
A friend who worked for the supermarket warehouses said there is no difference in the finest best of etc ranges all the same just packaged differently even the m&s food is same as bog standard food just packaging is different
Like it. Those sausages are lovely. Had them myself. If you like Haddock fish cakes I recommend you try the co-op ones..
Mike, is your book different from the story line in that episode of Black Mirror where a similar situation happens?
Just from reading the blurb and having watched that episode (assuming you mean shut up and dance) I would say it will be completely different.
PandaPops74 aaahh goody goody, will add it to my next Amazon order 🤓
You've jam packed your fridge for the week but some of that will have gone off by the end of it. Why can't you buy midweek as well and then add up the cost. You can also cut down the amount that you eat as well.
tesco finest vanilla chai tea is delicious! (found it here in finland and have been drinking only that for a while ^_^)
Well done for picking something fancy
Two giant fishcakes each? Oink oink!
Week on Basils food
ohmygosh you're really doing it :D:D
I love Tesco's Finest Assam tea.
Great video and congratulations on the release of your new book...considering my name is Viraj I can relate to Viral (full of spunk) lol love your videos, take care. A signed copy would be amazing!!!!!
Great video Colin!
What would the US equivalent be?
Have you done a week on IKEA food? That is a good supermkt type option.
You make me laugh haha your a funny guy
They need to put you in a Jane Austen mini series geared towards Americans.
Congratulations on finally getting the finished book in your hands. It's a proud moment, isn't it?
Can you do a week on takeaways
💯👍
I loved all your week ons I thought they were very entertaining and I think a week on B would be very entertaining come on people think of all the fun banana jokes we could make
Love the eye glass.
A week on holland and barrett !!
Your book looks fantastic Mike. Well done 🌟
How about a week on toast? You can have any topping you like (like egg, beans, marmite), but every meal is toast based.
I live for this shit
this is the third scene i've seen from you that reminds me so much of eddie izzard. color me tickled pink. congrats on the book coming out today and your new week on and all of the amazing things

10 minutes until we see Basil?! Travesty!
I’m looking forward to this week! More like the vintage week ons 😀
''People are prepairing for brexit'' haha, little did we knew
We stan a king living his best life 😂🤣 👑
Another great video me and my husband tried all. Of tescos finest food Mike and you gave to try the Steak Diane is gorgeous 👌
Posh Mike is hilarious!
*Eats fish*
“Yeah, it’s quite fishy”
Loving Viral!
Look up Tesco finest prawns on digitiser2000 nearly killed two people.
It was to please Nivvin.

A week on spoiling Basil 😍😍😍
Tesco's standard + 2 grams of salt = tesco's finest
Don't forget the leek😂
