Hi Emily, this is just so brilliant what you are doing for us. I love how you've gone and just done the $50 shop at Aldi (which we can all copy pretty much) then your doing the meal with the actual ingredients. JUST LOVE IT XX
I am so glad you like it. The shopping list with prices is on the blog if you need it.
@@AussieDebtFreeGirl Amazing, brilliant I will go over there now.... I didn't realise this, so thank you.
Hi Emily, love your work. In this recipe I grated my carrots and onions, made it easier for the kids to eat also was easier than chopping for me. Also fried the grated onions, carrots and garlic in the oil 1st to impart some flavour into the oil which help the flavor of the rice
I've done it both ways this night i just wanted dinner done. After shopping and chopping up rverything i was knackered
Loved this video. Your channel is the best thing ever Emily. Appreciate you sharing the recipes etc. Times are tough and this is so helpful.

@@AussieDebtFreeGirl Thank you lovely.
Aweome, looks really good hope you guys enjoyed
We always love fried rice.
Last time I made fried rice I grated the carrot as my kids complained to was too hard when I just diced it. Worked well no complaints from the kids and a touch quicker 😀
I diced mine really thin and add them in nice and early so they soften
Hey girl, I just paid $2000 in bills and am stressed trying to figure out how to feed my family for the fortnight! I stumbled upon your channel and it is a godsend! Following to the tee. Thank you ❤️
Aww. I'm so sorry about that but I am glad to help
Awesome 💯❤️❤️❤️
The shopping list with prices is up on the blog now if that helps.
Curious what you were explaining with the chicken once it was cut up.
Sorry RUclips changed the music and put it over my video. Just that i chopped it up and bagged it into meals.
Well done, glad I discovered your channel.
Try cooking the rice a day or 2 before, it always turns out better when the rice is older :)
It does that was the plan but the kids and hubby wanted it that night haha
We do this all the time but I always make sure I have at least 5 different veg. I always add a leafy green, such as thinly sliced bok choy. We get our veg form the local market rather than Aldi, Aldi fruit and veg prices are ridiculous! We go for the seconds/rejects fruit and veg at the markets, perfectly fresh but maybe shaped a little winky or with a minor blemish. I know you are doing a budget challe, but we use a few more seasonings as well. We can afford it because our fruit and veg are so cheap and it makes up over 60% of our meal. It's easy to stretch meals with carbs but it always leaves me feeling sick.
I understand that, but this is meant to give someone an idea on how to get through a rough time and just get something substantial in bellies. That's why we decided to do 1 shop only. (My fruit and veg shop is soon much cheaper). I figured if your down to $50 to feed your family you don't have the fuel to drive around.
@@AussieDebtFreeGirl I don't have a car. I am crippled and legally blind, and I live with my autistic son and his wife. I think that the idea of "getting something in bellies" is a bad thing to promote, tbh. A lot of people living in poverty are obese because of dependence on a high carb diet. I would much prefer to see you do a challenge where you showed healthy, sustainable options. Australian channels showing budget meals are few and far between, but everything I have seen you and others do so far I could have done healthier and cheaper, and without having a car. I would really, really like to learn something new but so far I'm struggling to find a channel that will give me that. I do appreciate the amount of meat you use, though. Australian eat 2 - 3 times more meat than we actually need.
@Angela Radomi Not everyone in Australia lives in a place with access to more than one shop, usually a IGA brand store, which is never cheap. We have to go with the majority. Also, these challenges to me are targeted more at the mum who is just having a rough week or the dad that had a sudden bill appear. Everyone deserves to eat. I can't know what someone will have in a food parcel etc. I want to encourage creativity and make more with less. Inspiration for those struggling.
I love eggy fried rice ♥
Its so good
Who doesn't, crazy people haha
