  • It’s Greek week! I make Greek food on a budget (about £30) and eat only Greek for the entire week. #budgeting #mealplanning #greekfood #budgetmeal #affordableeats #budgetmeals #budgetfoodie #foodwaste #frugalfood #costoflivingcrisis #frugalfoodie #thriftycooking #budgeteats

      Yes! Me too! Would love to know your thinking behind your wardrobe 😊. Hubs and I are currently in Greece for a month and am watching this with great interest. One dish I enjoy in Greece as a vegan is Imam Biyaldi (I believe it is actually Turkish meaning "the Imam faints" probably because it is so good!). We are on a Greek island very close to Turkey so there is quite a bit of Turkish influence here.

    I love watching how creative you are with few ingredients. I’m going to do a food audit and see what I can create! Thank you for the inspiration and positivity ❤
    Also, just to say, you ask ‘would you eat that?’ And without fail (except skipping the dairy/honey) I absolutely would! Not seen a meal I wouldn’t eat (especially the meatless balls!)

    Just come across your channel. Love your foodie vids, but would also love to see other content too, such as about your house/garden/wardrobe etc but no pressure if you’d rather stick to food and budget x

    Wow your prices are amazing based on prices in the USA. Oranges in a bag would be $5.00 on sale, $8.00 normal price. I enjoy your videos. I love your realistic comments, such as I
    “ I hope it doesn’t kill me.” Makes me laugh and reminds me of myself.

    What a lot of work you put into this video, and it covers a great variety of topics: cooking, gardening, thrift, shopping/saving, menu planning, foraging, budgeting etc Very creative and interesting. Making your own bread and milk is pretty hard-core, especially for just one person, and using and re-using lemon skins and veg skins and peels too, well done! Growing your own from leftovers will be easier in warm weather but a great saving. I like the way you check ingredient labels, too.

    Hello from Florida USA!! I just love what a resourceful, scrappy, creative cook you are. Yes on everything!!! Your shopping hauls would cost 3x more here. I had to pause and rewind on your wardrobe organization. You only wear black, white and bright green?? That should be another video! LOL I enjoyed your Greek week as I love Greek food as well (no meat or dairy). Well done! Hugs to Jack

    Meat and fish play a huge role in Greek cooking. I aso don't see any Greek cheeses like feta, which is unthinkable in Greece.. Tahini, and before you say Hummus, neither are Greek, they are Middle Eastern, whatever British supermarkets try to tell you.
