MASSIVE shopping HAUL at LIDL reduced stickers everywhere!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 мар 2024
- well having forgotten my darn camera!! I went to Lidl as its my usual shop day and for the first time in years, there was a bonanza on reduced items specifically in the meat department.
So it's times like this that throwing out my meal planner had to happen and buy as much of the reduced items would allow. I am very happy with the results and funnily enough we decided to go 90% carnivore only yesterday, having toyed with the idea for months.
I've done keto a few years ago, before my RUclips days so am familiar with the process but am allowing some carbs in, so really just a low carb rather than no carb diet.
The usual reasons apply, need to lose weight and avoid potentially diabetic diagnosis in later life. Luckily for me, I know I am not diabetic as have had recent tests, but if I carry on consuming refined sugary carbs including rice and pasta, it won't be long before I am!
Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching....

Following a diabetes diagnosis I have cut out nearly all carbohydrates to 30g a day in six months lost 4 stones and feel so much better. Its just a shame that no one told me about carbs until now at 76 years old!
Better late than never but wow you've done so well, I'm so impressed. And you're an inspiration honestly💕💕💕 I feel a lot better even in this short time and esp as have cut 70% carb intake instead of 99%💪😃💕💕
I follow a keto diet as much as I can. Rather hard for me as I am vegetarian, but there are a few keto cookery channels that showcase a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle so that helps for ideas. Over the years I have developed some great alternative recipes to some of my favourites like lemon cheesecake and chocolate mug cake! Great food shop. All that food at such a bargain price. Thank you fo sharing.
That's fabulous Be, you might have to share those recipes thou now that you've mentioned them🤤🤤🤤🤤😃👍💕💕💕💕
You’re so sweet ❤, I too have weight to lose and at 55 now, it’s proving much harder than I thought. Love your videos ❤
Good for you wanting to improve your health! I've stopped watching Butlers Empire a while ago, as i was getting a bit fed up of Martin almost preaching his opinions on how bad certain foods are (in his opinion only it should be said) I'm sure you wont be like that Kerry! Never forget Dr C Atkins who started the infamous diet of mainly meat and no veg, died of a heart attack with his arteries 30-40% blocked! Moderation is the key word. Look after yourself xx
Yes i agree with you. I googled it and it said it was no good for diabetics because they don't get the nutrients that they need. I used to enjoy watching when i first got a slow cooker and an air fryer, also pressure cooker as they had some good recipes on and they showed you how to use the appliances. Now it's all meat and fish.
I forgot to say that i watch Graham gets about, that's a nice channel and they are a lovely couple. You get all sorts and they are a good laugh
@SandraDent-lf4xy Ah thank you, I will def take a look!!
@@SandraDent-lf4xyExactly! And with the current cost of living, not everyone can afford all the meat they can!
Thank you Glenda😃👍💕It's funny you say that about dr Atkins, googled him and he had a type of heart disease caused by a virus, he fell over causing a traumatic brain injury, and was in a coma of which fluid retention was a complication - he succumbed after 9 days after the fall, it's a myth about it being caused by his diet😃👍but I couldn't do without salads, veg and the very very occasional homemade slice of bread! I suppose there are good fats and bad fats, and 50 years of the slimming market telling us one thing despite obesity being on the rise (a bit like the cigarette companies telling us smoking was good for us back in the day) sugar is more addictive than certain well known drugs! 😄💕💕
I totally agree with you, I too have watched Martin and he has definitely done so well with his carnivore diet. As he said it probably doesn’t do for everyone. But I am definitely watching what I eat now. What great bargains. You did really well ❤
Thank you Janice👋😃💕it can only help cutting out the sugary refined carbs 💪💪😃
Well done! I absolutely love a bargain!
I also love carbs too much. I'm at that same age, and even though I do eat less, and do loads of walking, I'm getting heavier. It doesn't help watching Backyard Chef. His recipes are so easy. I've been making his pastry loads recently. Last night I made an apple pie. It was so nice, the two of us ate the whole pie. At the weekend egg custards, again all gone the same day.
I couldn't give up carbs completely, but I do need to reduce the amount of them in my diet.
Walking is very good Catherine 💪😃💕when my dad had a double heart bypass he was told to walk every day to help get him strong again post surgery, the faster the better (over time) I need to do the same thou, it's silly how 'finding the time' becomes so tricky when it comes to exercise! 😅 flipping heck your apple pie sounded delish😋
You got some real bargains there Kerry, I wish I could catch the stores when they have the Yellow stickers on goods, but I miss them all the time. David.
This was at 8.30am which took me by surprise David, a bit of luck for a change 😄👍hope you're well
I started Keto on 1st March & I’ve lost 7lbs 2ozs got about another stone to lose. I’m feeling so much better, no more bloating, much more energy & I’m turning 70 in a few months. I’m tempted to give the full Carnivore a try, but to be honest if I can stick with the low carb lifestyle I’ll be really happy. Looking forward to more of your recipes. 😊
Well done Maureen💪💪😃💕 I'm after that energy and to stop feeling I'm carrying 10 sacks of potatoes!😂 couldn't forgo the veg/salads, and the very occasional homemade slice of bread.
Homemade sourdough bread, with a good starter, can help, too.
Hi Kerry, you got some good bargains there, they'll keep you going for a while. I could do with losing some inches off my belly, i'm only 9 stone. I'm going to cut down on cakes and biscuits. I couldn't face just eating meat all the time.
Belly fat is my bane Sandra, it's so hard nay impossible to shift, but I suppose if I could lose 2 stone minimum, I could see some shrinkage in that region💪😅💕me too re cutting down on cakes n biscuits (plus pasta/rice as we eat that a lot)
Hi Kerry when you grow your lettuce etc don't forget the beer traps for the slugs, bury yoghurt pots or similar to just above the surface and half fill with beer the slugs will hone in and drown
Thank you Bill😃👍👍will get the cheapest beer - hopefully the slugs are not fussy lol but def a good idea
back in the past I used ale once later used cheap lager apparently it's the smell that does it @budgetcookinguk
@@misolgit69 there's plenty of cheap beer in lidl, drunk slugs - that'll do it😄👍👍
You are great as you are , love your vlogs
Aww that's so lovely of you to say so Jenny🥰🥰🥰
Wow Kerry thats a fantastic amount of meat 👏 ive had a few diagnosis recently and have to change my diet and decided to try carnivore for the 30 days see how i cope. Ive been buying meat and stocking up freezer as im going to start after Easter break. I adore bread and all things sweet but its killing me so needs must. You're right, Martin has done amazing and hats off to him 😊 ill pay a visit to my lidl tomorrow and see if there's any bargains ❤
Hope you found some bargains Sandra😃🤞💕, I've been shopping at lidl for years and that was the first time I had seen so many stickers, couldn't believe it. Me too re anything sweet, love biscuits/bread and more bread, oh and crisps. My gran used to say oh you're stout, here have a biscuit/eat this_eat that, why aren't you eating lol. Will restrict myself to the very occasional slice of homemade bread😄👍 but meat and veg will be the bulk of my food - good luck over the next 30 days 💪🥰
As someone who has just had test results come back stating I have a genetic type 2 running in my family (which is why my very slim mum & dad had it after the age of 60 - apparently they may have had it for years but undetected / laid dormant), and despite being diagnosed in 2010 after being diagnosed with PCOS (which I had no idea makes you insulin resistant), I dropped 5 dress sizes (I’m 5’9” & disabled, I went from a size 32 to a 22), yet my sugars went through the roof (they were more stable when I was at my biggest!) - highest was 23.5!! I kept putting off going on insulin, tried everything to the point where I was starving myself (literally), & my sugars weren’t budging. I succumbed in November to insulin treatment and have had long, extensive talks with the amazing community diabetics team, & the things I’ve learnt in that short time is more than I’ve learnt since 2010.
I had no idea type 2 could be genetic. Type 2 is pushed in the media as a ‘fat person’ condition, therefor I truly believed I was to blame, it was all my fault - it isn’t. Age, menopause, ethnicity and genetics all play a factor into getting type 2. You can also never reverse it. Once you have it, that’s it. You will have it for life. This information can all be found online. Apparently the diabetic team I’m with practically pull their hair out in sheer frustration with the books / videos stating it can be reversed, as they’ve had very, very poorly patients (some have lost their lives due to kooky information being given, convinced they don’t need meds) & a battle to get them to take their meds or insulin. Apparently those who ‘reverse’ it are often pre diabetic and have completely done a 360 with lifestyle, but they said they may end up suffering later on, its no guarantee it may not return.
Advice given is; always eat a varied diet. Fruits (something I avoided for years), up to 3 pieces a day, vegetables, you can absolutely eat carbs, but weighed amount and have lots of protein / vegetables with it. I’m a carb monster, so that was the hardest thing for me, even now when I’m on insulin I’m told I must eat carbs after my injections, but what I do is, I double up on homemade quorn spaghetti bolognese, & a measured portion of pasta. I have extensive GI issues and I’ve been told to limit my fibre intake, I was eating everything whole meal / wholewheat, which is lower in GI which releases sugars much slowly into our bodies, however I can eat white pasta / bread so long as I’m accompanying it with a protein which breaks down the sugars in the carbs!
I’ve been told so many times, there’s no such thing as ‘good food’ vs ‘bad food’, that negative mindset ends up with us having a poor relationship with food. Eat what you fancy, but smaller portions and getting to grips with that when you’ve had disordered eating in your life can be hard, but I’m getting there and it really does work.
I don’t believe in the fad diets, I’ve tried them all and they all have terrible negative impacts on our bodies over time.
Blessings always! New subscriber xx
Thanks so much for sharing that Laura🥰🥰 you've done so well and literally food for thought in your comment. I agree re moderation, like you I'm a carb monster but really feel I couldn't cut it out 100%. Take care and thanks so much for subscribing 👋😃💕
I grew wild rocket and rainbow chard last year - not so much munching by slugs as lettuce. Beetroot tops is a lovely alternative for salads too! Of course, spinach is a lovely salad crop too and a bit hardier than lettuce. We have also made a decision to cut the carbs too! Wishing everyone good luck!❤😂❤
Aww good luck to you n Kirsty too!! 💪😃💕💕
I remember growing lettuce, in a garden, from seed, with guidance from my dad, when I was a kid, the results were good, if I recollect correctly. For myself, I've heard about the term 'Keto' diet but, I couldn't accurately describe what it is due to my lack of knowledge on this topic. Yes the point, you made about refined carbs, I think, is 100% correct; my kitchen would be much smaller than before you moved but I'm seriously considering purchasing a bread maker, simply to avoid all that ultra proccessed bread-like stuff that occupies huge amounts of shelf space in every single supermarket, across the UK, probably World.
Keto is extreme low carb, as there is carbs in veg. The idea is you go into 'ketosis' where the body eats fat instead of carbs - flipping very hard and in the end I gave up after 6 months. Nice memory of growing lettuce under the wing of your dad, I like that. If I eat any bread, it'll be homemade plus cut out 99% pasta/rice and other refined carbs😃👍good luck choosing a bread maker, I've never used one but I've heard it's really quick and easy
All the best Kery with your new diet. Yes I am going to also give it a try, after seeingMartin , he looks so well having been doing the diet. It’s a case of cutting rubbish hidden sugars and carbs out mainly.
And eating when your hungry, not just because you think it’s dinner time or tea time etc. we are all guilty of that. So I hope it all works for you. I know you will do it,
Hope it works for you too Karen💪😃💕
Hello kerry keto is hard to keep,to over the long term but lower carb is easy to stick to. Because you're a Bonny Scot's lass you don't look your age. If you bring some low carb recipes I'm with you. Yes Martin and Sharon have done and are doing so well but I would be terrified to give up me veggies and eat large portions of meat, scares me and kind of tuns me stomach. Looking forward to your new adventure and the grub you bring to us. 😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It's that celtic skin😂 (or maybe not going out in the sun ever - am not keen on sitting in sun for longer than 20 mins🥵) aww but thank you Christine😃💕 I'm definitely preferring low to no carb, like you I love my veggies plus trying to grow them over on plot25!
@@budgetcookinguk I'm a Celtic too I have some of all the bloods Irish, Welsh, Scottish and English. I suppose that makes me a true Brit, lol. I'm 70 now and also have kept away from the sun with red hair now turning to strawberry blonde,lol. Have a great weekend and thanks for all you bring to us. Ta ra.
Wow what a bargain kerry! You did brilliantly . Lisa xx ❤❤
Thank you Lisa👋😃💕
Wow fantastic x i love getting bargains too x
Thank you Julie😃👍💕love a bargain!
I also watch butlers empire used to be a big fan but I couldn't eat meat all the time but if it works for them then good
Evening Kerry, nothing beats a reduced sticker. you were at the right place at the right time. Wow, what a fantastic haul. Grow your own while you can. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to make. I'm trying to cut my carbon down as they take up loads of points. I'm looking forward to finding out what weight I will have lost on Thursday 🙏. We will do this as a budget cooking uk healthy eating group with support for each other and words of encouragement. 👏 you got this 💪 xxxx Jac 💚♥️
Jacs it was like winning the lottery😄 had a specific budget I couldn't go over, otherwise i would have bought more, never seen so many reduced stickers! Good luck for Thursday 💪💪💪🥰🥰🥰 xxx
@budgetcookinguk that happened to my mum & I a few weeks ago but it was packets of cold meat so various hams, chicken etc all 17p so we took everything a.d I've got them in the freezer for when I make Colins lunch for work. It's brilliant when you can get it, I can never seem to time it right in aldi, lol. Thank you, Kerry. I am hoping for a similar number as last week off, but I know it won't be as much because I lost more in your first week. Even 3lb off, and that would be a stone 💪💪💪💪💪💪🥰🥰🥰 xxxx 💚 ♥️
Hi Kerry, you certainly don't look anywhere near 50. I was sure you were in your early 40s, doing good my lovely. That was a great haul, right place at the right time. My sil is a head chef and he loves Lidls meat. Looking forward to your next vlog, byee 👋Jen 💕😘xx
Aww thank you Jen💕💕💕sorry this is late! It's been a hectic week😅👍💕💕💕
We are being taken for mugs
I think the carnivore diet has its own danger points in my opinion I do slimming World and again its not perfect
Everything in moderation Brenda😃👍💕 my portion sizes were very big as well☺️ I love my veg plus I'll be growing a load of it on my allotment🤞
I watch butlers empire too, I’ve been on keto for 6 weeks and lost a stone and a half . Wish you luck with your journey xx
Wow Wendy that's absolutely fabulous, well done💪😃💕
That's a brilliant food shop Kerry,we have regular customers who come in to the store nightly and go out with bags of reduced items for great prices,unfortunately unless it's chicken fish or lean meat I don't take advantage as a lot of the stuff Carol can't eat due to her attending a slimming club,which is a shame as I get another 15% off the reduced price,,another enjoyable and informative video Xx
I'm tempted to try an evening bargain haul Ricky, trouble is I'm in my comfies by 6pm! Am off to see me ol' Da - tis his birthday tomorrow. Did you ever get the signed pics? (My sister in law was meant to drop off) if not I can get it and send it up to you😃👍👍💕💕
@@budgetcookinguk I'm straight into my comfies as you call them the minute I get in the house if I know I'm not going back out no matter what the time is,I haven't received the photo but I'm sure if she's ever in the store she will hand it in,wish your Dad a happy birthday from me Kerry and tell him I'm asking for him Xx
If I have space in my freezer then I buy all the reduced price meats that there are in Lidl, this week there was quite a lot of meat reduced by 30% but there was no room in my freezer to put them, even though I have a large 7 draw freezer, so I left them for someone else which is rare for me as I normally cram as much in as I can get but the draws are so full they come off the runners when I open a draw
(this did make me chuckle) maybe start eating what's in your drawers and have a minimal expenditure week? 😃👍sometimes I plan a week using what's in my freezer, so the weekly shop is small, useful when big bills go out
Wow, you got some bargains and they were in date too noticed they had tomorrows date on.
Thanks Sandra👋😃💕
Wow lucky you Kerry, make the most of those bargains eh 😊. Cant think of anyone more deserving. X❤
Aww thank you Susan😃💕💕
Great bargains! Might move to the UK from Canada. Our food prices seem about double even with the exchange.... and btw, you barely even look 40!
Aww thank you Irene, that's lovely of you 🥰🥰 Canada seems expensive, how do people manage who are on low budgets?
@@budgetcookinguk We have to be creative and crafty like you! 🥰🖖
At the moment in Canada for iceburg lettuce is 1.73 pounds or $2.99 cdn dollars. Ouch
I know! Haven't bought lettuce in a while. Who knew "rabbit food" would get so expensive. Those were great deals and now I'm thinking of moving to the UK......
Wow that is expensive!!
Shopping mad husband has not stuck to plan of putting what is brought on freezer list...and delete what has been removed 🤦♀️
We have a double freezer ergo right and left side and Chest Freezer....
I am thinking I should just put reduced labels on all items in Freezers and say shop from freezer until they are empty.
I love a reduced label especially if I can freeze it but said husband also loves a reduced label he fills freezer and heck no spece for me if I get a bargain shop to freeze or batch cook now.
Husband now retired so he is getting crash course into running a house.... Wish me luck I will hide this one from him x
Lots of luck!! 😄👍I thought I had hit the reduced label jackpot, first time I have seen it like that - it def make you feel good esp if shopping to a budget😃👍💕
Hi love you got some lovely meat those shoulder steaks can go in stews thanks you just reminded me to get the stewing beef out of the freezer as I'm going to fo a one pot stew in slowcooker I even got some veg for stew from Iceland I noticed i cook with thd airfryer alot and I've dropped a dress size I'm not one for biscuits I do eat them but not often I've still got some from Christmas love fran ❤
Biscuits and crisps I was eating a lot Fran, so doing this should help plus we would have pasta/rice a lot in the week (easy cheap fillers) and they're really calorific not to mention the ol' sugar spike carb overload thing😄👍cutting all that out can only be beneficial
@@budgetcookinguk oh yes the cutting down on biscuits should help but don't deny your self a couple I found cooking with the airfryer helped me and we have rice and pasta I love pasta my son isn't fussy so ill make a pasta bake and ill have some and grt 3 more portions to freeze god me a lazy tea but I think as you get older you eat a bit less kerry but don't deny your self anything love fran❤️
the only trouble is too much red meat is bad too, also even chicken has salt put on it i find am so shocked by it all but yes i too am addicted to making my own bread but also chocolate, but do need to cut carbs for sure, im right there with you kerry xx
Blasted carbs so delicious but oh so darn fattening, well def in my case. Reducing it to a minimum must be better than eating it unchecked😅
For those banging on about Martin,I don’t think he is intending to stick to the carnivore diet for the rest of his days.He is doing it for a specific reason and it is working for him,He is entitled to his opinion and you do not have to agree with him so take a chill pill
Hi Kerry, thank you for another great vid. I've only just found this video, & I know its 2 months on but what day of the week did you get this reduced shop please> Only I wonder best time of day & day to go to my local lidls! Thank you Zara x
Hi Zara👋😀💕 that particular haul was a bit of a stroke of luck - I've not seen anything like it since but I keep looking! So that was all bought on Tuesday morning about 8am, 19th march ('24) - when were the Easter hols? It could have been during that.
Great haul that❤
It was, luck of the discounted draw😃👍💕
Right place and time.
I believe the only item that wasn't reduced that's come down in price are the eggs there £1.33 for 10 last year the same pack of eggs were £2.69 either Lidl is selling them as a loss leader or they've gotten them that cheap.
They've been £1.33 for ages, I don't think they were ever £2.69 that prob was the free range x 12
@@budgetcookinguk They went up to £2.69 at my local Lidl and I used to buy the cheaper 2 times 6 packs at £1.09 each
Hi Kerry I think you could do a healthy vlog once a week and the subscribers that want to join in can chart their progress along with you. Your channel appeals to so many of us I’m sure some of your followers need a little diet inspiration xx
That's a really interesting idea Julie I like it😃👍💕
@@budgetcookinguk don’t think many of the RUclipsrs are doing anything like it might be a plan xx
Wow! I thought you were about 40, Kerry.
Aw stop it lol, you need to go to specsavers😂did make me chuckle
I’m doing low carb with my drs surgery
From Linda C❤😊
How are you finding it Linda? I love refined carbs but they don't love me lol
@@budgetcookinguk it’s ok , had a few wobbles but it’s when I’m stressed I turn to carbs, it is very hard at times for me , but I know if I persevere it’ll get easier.
