    Hey FreeGang! Thanks for tuning into another food shopping video! 🙏😃
    Today we went to two different supermarkets M&S and ALDI to show the comparison between Christmas food products and prices! Cheap vs expensive! We also wanted to see if the expensive food at M&S is worth buying or is it better to go to a budget food shop like Aldi? This was a really fun grocery haul video, we hope you like it! This video is good for anyone looking for money saving tips, looking for cheap Christmas gift ideas, shopping on a budget, anyone conscious of the cost of living or their financial situation, or anyone just trying to save money! (especially around Christmas) We hope you enjoy this vegan food haul gift video!

      It looks like M&S has really diversified their plant based products in recent years. I haven’t been to England for a few years, but when I was last there, M&S didn’t have nearly as many vegan products - especially ready made options like sandwiches.

    Personally I love M&S and since inflation has hit I don’t find Aldi so cheap anymore sometimes M&S works out better and cheaper and better quality and they always have deals and reductions.
    But Aldi just stresses me out they’re always changing products or discontinuing them and the check outs are like a horrible workout 😂

    Are pretzels, something that you specifically only eat at Christmas or is it in general they are only available at Christmas time in the UK? Or does it have to do with the shape of the pretzel?
    I’m in the US and we have pretzels you’re around as a snack option. At Christmas time there are sometimes pretzels that are a different shape like a star or tree, but we’ve never really considered pretzels themselves as a Christmas food.

    • @FamilyFreedom
      @FamilyFreedom  10 месяцев назад

      Good question 🤔 I think pretzels are available in the UK all year round at certain places, but I would say they are more of a party/Christmas food here! I remember having huge pretzels when we were in the USA that were sweet and had a cinnamon flavour. They were delicious 😋 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

    Ok, so you jumped up the price of vegan bacon & vegan sausages £7.25 to two lots of already made vegan pigs in duvets £11.50 a further £3.55. Yesa, butternut & peacon nut roast a staple in my house. Wow, that's a big difference in price comparison. I remember getting Aldi vegan selection box first time ever last year and It was really nice for a first timer.

      @FamilyFreedom you have to remember this was the first time I was eating and trying out vegan cheese, so I had nothing to compare it with. But I enjoyed the smoothness and texture.

    I like that you can get so much vegan food at your grocery stores, I live in the countryside in Germany and our village has around 1000 inhabitants and one grocery store with a very limited variety of specialty foods in general, if I want to have a bigger variety I have to drive around 30 minutes to reach a city with more grocery stores who have who have more options !

    • @FamilyFreedom
      @FamilyFreedom  10 месяцев назад

      It sounds like you have to make a bit of a journey to access a wider variety of grocery options. Living in a rural area certainly has its charms, but it can present some challenges when it comes to convenience. It's great that you're willing to travel to get what you need, though. 💚🤗💚

    Family Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FreeGang! Yay!!! Commenting to you #LIVEbutNOTLIVE from South Carolina, USA (East Coast). Please keep in mind that the 4 for 3 pounds is all MIX & MATCH so you do not need to grab 4 of one item, you can grab 4 different items in that price bundle and then you only one of each of the items you chose and it is still only going to be 3 pounds at checkout. MIX & MATCH stands for MIX different items that MATCH the offer price for one deal. And Remember... Christmas dinner isn't Christmas dinner without "BEEEEEEAAAAANNNNNNSSSSS!!!!!!!!", lol. Love you guys. #JustKeepRising

    Hi guts another great fun video. I think m&s are OK if you want something specific or maybe something that only they sell, but I think m&s food is overpriced. Few years ago just after Christmas I bought a lot of party food from there, it was all half price ( no way woukd I have paid full price ) so even half price came out a bit pricey, but thought give them a try. But boy was I disappointed. Nothing special, rhe taste of the items were bit bland, I was just generally not impressed. I've had better party food etc from tesco/ asda & much easier in the pocket. I woukd Ave been really p....d off if I has paid full price for it. Also a friend of mine fre years ago had a new years eve party, thougt push the boat out so git the party food from m&s, cost a fortune , was meant to split the cost between her & the neighbours but she said she was embarrassed when she put the food out with the portion sizes , the taste of the food etc, that she didbt ask them for any money cos she thought they wouldn't believe that it was meant to be quality food cos its M&S. Nothing wrong with lidl/ aldi Xmas food.

    • @FamilyFreedom
      @FamilyFreedom  10 месяцев назад

      It's great to hear that you enjoyed the video Karen! Your experience with M&S party food and your perspective on the value for money at different stores is insightful. Different people have varying opinions on the taste and quality of food from various retailers, and it's always helpful for others to hear about different experiences.
      Many people appreciate the affordability and quality of products from stores like Aldi and Lidl. It's interesting how personal preferences and expectations can shape our views on the value of different brands and retailers We hope you're having a wonderful Christmas season 💚
