Better help is full of unqualified “therapists” they also got had HIPPA which means they aren’t regulated to protect private info and soul data it’s not a company to promote at all
Plus theyre supporting Israel
I had a great experience with them and actually had access to therapy 🙈
It is also a zionist company
This! They are terrible for so many reasons!
Yeah I don’t understand how influencers still promote them 🙁
Put the lettuce in a cup of water at least 1 hour before using them. They get nice and crispy and it’s a great way to keep them crispy in your fridge
I was just going to say that 😁. Just cut the root end off 1st so the leaves can suck up the water. Works wonders with any lettuce, celery, most herbs...
I neverrr knewww thattt
You just changed my lettuce game.
Use ice water- 15 minutes
Use slightly moistened newspapers and wrap your salads etc to store in the fridge . I bought fresh salad heads and stored them for almost 2.5 weeks keeping them fresh and crispy just making sure to re-moisture the paper and removing the odd yellowish leave occasionally. Has to be mentioned though that this was fresh salad from the field yet did absolutely surprise me 😊
Hey Taz, I've been following your cooking journey for years and I have to say you've really made great progress - you're basically there now. If you can throw together a tasty meal from a bunch of ingredients that's all you need to be a decent home cook and I would have eaten every single one of the meals you made. Well done!
Since you've been documenting shopping on a budget for a few years now, it would be cool to recreate a video of last year and see how much the pricing has changed??
Great idea!
One of the key things I’ve noticed is that the products are not available. For example, if you used to buy a budget brand of pasta for 30p, it’s not that the brand is now 40p, it’s that it is unavailable. So you have to buy a totally different product for a much greater amount. And that is the same for every product. Same with offers. Certain products would fairly reliably come on offer frequently enough that you could last it out till it came round again. But they stopped the offers. Then they put up the price. Then they stopped the product. So now you have to buy a different product which is vastly more expensive. It’s hopeless. I used to manage really well using basic ingredients, offers, and occasional treats. Never felt I was missing out. Now I’m lost.
UK’s cost of living crisis prices are still cheaper than my country’s regular prices. 🤣
Where are you from? If you want to answer😌✌🏽
Same I live in Belgium and you have to pay 25 euros for 5 things
You do have to take everything into consideration though - not just food. Income, taxes and all other expenses, a lot of which are not obvious to somebody who doesn't live in the country. Britain has always had cheap food, but other costs are higher than elsewhere, and the average income is also lower than in other places in Europe.
@@EmmaHope88 We have some of the highest taxes in the world and our salaries aren’t that much higher.
she was shopping at a budget super market using only the cheapest foods tbf
making adulting look easy ! loved this vid Taz 🥰
Frfr
Why r u everywhere RUclips !
You banned Sssniperwolf yet? Mugs.
@@MissuMissu362look people get hired 2 do it😂
Maybe you can use your employees to make a positive change on your platform instead of leaving unneccesary comments nobody asked for
I think you should stick to £25 but try other supermarkets to see how they compare with the same budget. So proud of how far your cooking and eating has come.
This journey from knowing nothing about cooking to making meals on your own in your own kitchen is absolutely wonderful. You're smashing this, Taz!!!
14:14 the idea about the series sounds good! You should have one fixed budget say £20 for example and go into different supermarkets on the high street and compare the variety of things you could get to see how it differs store to store! You got this Taz 🧡
Not a BetterHelp sponsorship 💀
I know. Surely people know better than that now??
Not me in Chile, spending £25 on like four things, because the living cost over here is crazy high. I am forever shocked while watching your budget videos
God that's crazy
Same! But in Australia
I was thinking the same from Morocco. 1 kg of potatoes is 1$
Austrian prices are crazy as well
same here in Sweden😂
could be wrong but didnt betterhelp do alot of damage bc alot of non therapists were just pretending
As a student, that sort of chickpea veg curry you made is one of my go-to meals to cook. You can buy the ingredients for about £2, it only takes a few minutes to cook, it'll last for a few days or you can freeze it, and it's actually healthy
I, as a uni student actually do my weekly shop on £25 a week and it's more than enough!! Love this video 😁
- Big tip with lettuces and a lot of salad stuff with the core attached. As soon as you get home stick them in really cold water (you can add ice cubes if you are in a warm country) and if you have space in the fridge you can stick it in there for a few hours before using.
I like using left over plastic Chinese takeaway tubs as they are low and wide and can support any floppy leaves. If it has a decent core, you can also try re rooting it in water on the counter. Once rooted you can stick it in a plant pot or drain-able container, with a water capture, like a saucer and use it for "cut and come again" lettuce. As the main stem root has been cut from the core, you will mainly have smaller leaves coming back from the centre but if you can wait longer or have grow lights, they will get bigger.
Don't forget to change the water often during the week. You can re grow spring onions, leeks, like this no problem. With the bigger ones i would suggest removing some off the outer layers, before putting in soil as bad soil can get into the folds and make it soggy. They don't like have saggy old skin or flaps.
- I think what Taz is saying is that oily fish has a lot of Omega 3 (and depending on the fish also Omega 6 and 9). These are good for your brain, eyes and motor function. No you don't get to drive better, it's about your joints, well not those ones but great for us old people anyway or those that get stiff when still for a long time. Well at this point i give up on this topic! lol
- Apples are clean and healthy! These look like Granny Smiths, which are wholesome eating apples. Pectin that Taz mentioned, is what is used to make jam set and be like jammy rather than runny liquid.
Apple skins and cores can also be used in other ways. The seeds aren't a problem but i like to throw them out in the food bin, unless you want to try and plant a tree (good luck). Whilst they do contain some cyonade (sp), i have more worries about kids swallowing small penny shaped plastic toys than this and it doesn't add to what you can make.
You can pop apple peels and cores in a jar, fill with water and add sugar. Cover the jar with a cloth an elastic band so it can breathe and leave on the counter out of sunlight and in about 30 days you have unfiltered apple cider vinegar. This is great for cleaning windows, for the skin or making fly traps for your plants indoors. White layer is ok and means the ferment is working. You would need to filter this properly to be used in cooking, so not recommended.
You can also bake the skins, use those bread ends and left over bread at the end of the week, with things like cinnamon, nutmeg, etc, milk and butter to make bread and butter pudding. It is nice with raisins or other left over fruit or peels. I would stick you bread ends in a paper bag before freezing. It's the plastic bag that makes it mouldy. in a paper bag or a proper wood bread bin, they tend to go hard but can be made into croutons, bread crumbs and yes bread pudding to name a few.
You can freeze peeled, cored chopped apples, with a bit of lemon juice to stop the browning.
Keep the fruit and veg peelings and maybe source some red worms from a garden and create a mini desktop compost maker from and old salad spinner! They love banana peels and so do the plants! #Zerowaste
What an amazing comment!! So helpful!
OHNO not better help 😭😭😭
Stewed apples are good with cinnamon as well. Cinnamon is also known to help with gut health, as well as have anti-inflammatory properties
YES. MORE OF THIS. And Taz you're glowing, sis! Absolutely gorgeous!
"Please know you matter"! I love that phrase at the end 😢. it brings me so much emotion and motivation whenever you say it!
Taz, i can see the confidence in you and your cooking now. The progress has come a long way. Was honestly surprised! you go girllll
Taz- i'm crazy proud of you for how much more you're willing to eat and try now than you used to. it's like watching my own kiddo grow and try new things. incredible!
Can I suggest watching Budget Eats on Delish. June's series doing budget eats was seriously the only reason I watched their channel, she is by far one of the most unique thinkers when it comes to food & cooking that I've ever seen. I think half the adventure is getting as much variety as you can in your set budget, finding places that allow you to stretch that budget even more. She'd find dollar bone bags & make her own beef bone broth & there's still meat in the bones so she always pulled all of it off once cooked & it was like a 2 in 1 for only $1. She'd find dollar produce vendors, buy dried beans & lentils to make her own flower using anything she could to stretch that budget beyond anything I could do & she was doing this in New York one of the most expensive cities in the US. Just some food for thought
boosting this
Yes, i love June! She's incredibly creative
She absolutely carried the channel, and she reignited my love for cooking videos again
youre really amazing, i’ve been watching and rewatching your videos about budget and i see that you eat very well now and i feel so happy please keep it up! you are so amazing already!
I wish where I live, they would do a wonky veg box because that is amazing how much fruits and veggies you get for such a little cost and also it reduces food waste which is great too!
This is SO helpful, i’ve been watching you for years now?? You’ve improved SO MUCH i’m loving your videos
i love that you give therapy as a whole attention, because its not really talked about and a somewhat forbidden subject. And your way of introducing someone to your early adulthood is also very comforting and healthy. However i have only heard quite bad storys about betterhelp. And i hoped, that especially a channel like yours wouldnt support that. Maybe you just havent heard about these bad experiences, and thouht of it as a generally good Idea. But i do think its somewhat in your responsibility to imform yourself about the Sponsor.
It's always fun to see the difference in prices as I'm from Canada. That wonky veg box is a great deal. Love seeing your progress in cooking.
Maybe for another video you could do would be getting 2 ingredients from every aisle of the grocery store or 2 items of a certain price from each aisle.
Well done Taz, it is wonderful to see you enjoying to make meals and be creative. You should be very proud of yourself for finding your sweet spot. :)
taz makes even a British rainy day greattt 🥳
Taz I have been following you for years now and I am so proud of the person you have grown in to beiing. You are such an inspiration!
You've grown a lot. From your room in Cardiff to now in London your journey has been great. I can still remember watching you paint your room yellow!! Lol 😅
Love this challenge but please please please don't get your nutrition advice from TikTok! 💜 The only "detoxing" you need is what your liver is already doing! It's a big red flag if anything claims to detox you.
I love these type of videos keep it up taz!!!! ❤
You’d get like 1/3 of those groceries for 25£ in Sweden. So jealous! Amazing video though, very inspiring
That veg box is a "steal of a deal". Wish there was that option where I live.
Way to go taz! Love to see all of your progress in mental health and your cooking skill, everything looks so good! 👩🏻🍳👀🧠👏🏻🍽️
watching your vlog after long time idky i am so happy to see you meal prepping and multi task and being so confident about it wow you have come a long way taz you are fav youtuber and i am so happy you got the help you needed brave of you always a queen
The 1.50 box is crazy! Loveeeee that idea, everywhere should do it!
Girl I’m so proud of you and how much you’ve grown & ur cooking wowwww
I love you. I’ve watched you since the poetry. You give me so much inspiration!
A very warm presentation Taz beautifully done ❤,and on a really tight budget.
We could all learn a thing or two from this experience ❤❤❤❤
so excited to see you posted another video taz!! i loved this one:)
I also buy those cheap LIDL fruit & veg boxes, they're good value, with quite a varied selection. There isn't usually anything very bad, but if anything is a bit old & tired, leave it in a bowl of cold water overnight and it will freshen up; and it is cheap enough to trim off what doesn't.
Love these videos! Definitely my favourite content from you
Try getting a box of Japanese curry like Golden Curry or Vermont Curry. The roux cubes are so flavorful and you just throw them in the pot or instapot towards the end and stir. Japanese curry is sweeter than other curry so cutting up and apple or sweet potatoes pairs really well. It's a great way to eat more veggies. Throw peas, carrots, potatoes, onions or whatever you think sounds good in there & it will most likely work.
I love how even with your account growth, you haven’t changed your roots. I love it! It brings me so much comfort!
These videos about food you make are SO helpful you have no ideas ! Sometimes, I have no inspiration and I watch a video of you or Grace and I do a similar dish x
I missed this type of video so much, Thank you for making it ❤
Tax you’re always so creative and entertaining! I need to try this in Canada because it’s getting expensive here as well!
Taz // anyone you should start watching June from Delish and all her budget meals videos… she is INCREDIBLE. I literally don’t know how she does it but I love it!
Great video. Please make this a series.
Been following you since your first budget video and I could relate to you a lot back in the day. We're actually the same age and I was also discovering the world of living as an independent being. Now that you've integrated your cooking skills (so effortlessly btw!!) I feel like we've grown up at the same time as I've also been learning how to meal prep and get the most out of what I had. Thanks for this, Taz!! Taking notes for next week, everything looked super yummy 🥰
Love your budget videos! Keep doing what you love ❤!
Missed you on here!! So happy you're back 🎉
you should do a vegan one, maybe with a £15-25 budget
*Quick tip: leaving lettuce with the bottom root side in cold water helps get them back to life and even regrow more leaves!*
Hey Taz, just a friendly advice when you are using tomato purée you could add that first with some oil and marinate it in the oil, until it is more dark, so as to be more flavorful 🍅🍅🍅
It’s crazy to me how you guys in the uk handle vegetables and fruits without gloves or any type of care. In Spain, we have plastic bags and gloves to touch the vegetables and fruits in the supermarkets
Such a waste of plastic, I you guys are very particular with water but in the rest of the world soap and water is commonly used.
Pls make it a series i love seeing you cook
Brava on your knife skills, and an aside, your skin is glowing!
The frozen veggies can be freezed for months
Try chickpeas curry with chicken and potatoes amazing minus the veggies
You had extra chicken, and you could have made chicken pasta added some of the coconut cream for creamier taste and the side broccoli
The apple and peaches with some cinnamon and honey to oatmeal yummy
You had so many ingredients to work with
Baked peaches is my fave desert for a healthy budget meal add cream on the side and delish ! I always have cream as use it in my coffee 😀
Love the video girl! Keep them coming...
the improvement on your meals are amazing so proud of you taz🫶🏼🤍
Omg! Look at you cooking now!! So proud of you!
Omg vegbox is amazing deal! Petition for Lidl's in Poland to do this here too!
I'm so proud of you Taz! I remember all the instant ramens you had :) You go girl! You can do it all, carier and the nutrition cooking for yourself :) one does not exclude the other
Just moved to the UK almost 3 weeks ago and moving into a flat in 2 weeks, this will be so beneficial for when I move in. Thanks Taz!
my theropist is crap, i have cancer and bipolar and im fighting everyday to stay alive
@@BeyondMidgar not where i am hun one theropist for all
That wonky veg box is wonderful! Wish I had that option here.
With a base of potatoes, Carrots & celery (which I hate raw) you can make a variety of soups and pasta sauces which can really help if you're on a budget.
Adding Sultana's into the porridge and stewed apple is an extra option
Been busy with life, watched taz's vlog again after so long and she looks different?!!?! She look stunningggg
This is so helpful because I find it so hard to meal plan on my own
You even could've baked cookies as a snack: Just mash the bananas, add oats until it kind of feels like a soft cookie dough and use some cinnamon! Let sit for a monent, then bake for 15 minutes. Just did this today with an overripe banana and it turned out surprisingly great 😂
Banana sandwiches are definitely a childhood classic that I find to be a comfort as a young adult. A squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt, when you make stewed apples, will elevate the taste experience. Salt in sweet stuff balances the flavour profile and gives it a certain depth. This was a great video!
So true about the salt! I’m a baker and I use salt in my buttercream and frostings as it cuts through the sweetness and balances it out ❤👌🏼
Banana and bread/toast also works well with peanut butter, if you can eat it!
Great vid. You have learned so much about cooking nutritional meals.
I love a classic grocery budget Taz video :D
Hello hello my advice to anyone trying to stick to a budget yet consume fruits - peel and cut up your bananas, seal them and freeze if they're starting to look funky, you can use them to blend them into your yogurt, milkshake, pancakes or porridge in the morning, as they thaw very quickly! :)
Very relevant for a Malaysian when prices are going sky high. I'm thinking of doing the same and meal prep for a week to save money. Thanks Taz...
Oooh would love a series of trying 25 budget in each supermarket to see which is the best!
@clickfortaz, you make me feel like a million bucks. I love your honesty, your work and your attitude. Thank you for producing and sharing witht he world.
I am proud of you Taz, you go girl💪
I've been watching u for 7 years and I'm so glad you're still doing the same content 💜😊
I challenge you to 3 challenges:
The first challenge is that you to to only eat food that you've cooked for one month. Budget is unlimited but if you wanted to have a budget, it's up to you.
The 2nd challenge is to use any remaining ingredients/food (leftover from the 1st challenge) and see how long you can live off them (until you no longer have 2-3 meals a day). You can still use 5-10£ if you need to add an ingredient(s) to enhance a meal.
3rd challenge is to grow a plant or flower from a seedling to full bloom.
Meal 1: I’d make broccoli and fish pasta.
Meal 2: potatoes egg and veg fry up
Meal 3: coconut and chickpea curry
Meal 4: eggy soldiers
Meal 5: chicken fried rice
Pudding: apple crumble just need flour for 50p
Pudding: plum tart or plums and custard
You are glowing and I love that
Hey Taz, you are doing great with food eh, a quick thing to add whenever you feel like you are missing on seasoning in the food it’s mostly you put in less salt, just try to add a bit of salt (even after the curry is cooked) and try it then, it will be awesome with that.
I am so proud of you taz I’ve watched you for a really long time I remember when you had no confidence in the kitchen but now you are fluorescing I am a lot like you anxious and lots of issues in general (some of this may be true I don’t want to assume) but cooking and baking are the one things I know I’m good at I don’t get cocky often but these things I am I am only cock when I know I am good xxx
It’s been a while since you’ve done one of these videos glad to see you back doing videos like this I love…..
i think it would be really nice to make this a series! Especially because living off 25 pounds might be ok for one week bc you just buy the cheapest items but after a while it might become harder and harder to eat a varied diet
Such an amazing Job Taz ! Maybe you can do more of the £25 Budget meals, pls?. I'm from Germany and here are grocerys alot more expensive buuuut i Like the meals you're cooking.
Have nice day 😊
Well done Taz, look at you with some serious cooking skills! Not a fan of mackrel but give me a tin of albacore and look out, one of my favorite to make beyond a "tuna sandwich" is pasta, frozen mixed veg blanched, tin of albacore, bread n butter jalapenos or if out spicy bread n butter pickles all mixed with ranch dressing and chilled. Since I'm bad at using up most fresh veg quickly I opt for assorted mixed blends and use them for a myriad of dishes curry's, stew, pasta salads and so on. Side note get yourself a note book to jot down the ingredients for the dishes you make name them as you see fit and who knows one day there could be the Taz cook book.
For when you get green that are slightly wilty, soak it in cold water for an hour and it will perk back up.
The face Taz made when she said "it's healthy, It's tasty..." xD
Would love to see a straight up comparison video. Like have a two in one video type thing, where you do say a £200 budget vs a £20 one for the week
I live off £0 during the winter because of dumpster diving. The containers literally works as fridges because the temperature outside is the exact same as in your fridge at home. The stores throw out SO MUCH good food, and most of the time they don't break open their packaging, so it's literally like fresh food, just for free. You should try it.
Brilliant ideas nice recipes you did very well 👍❤
🇪🇭❤️🇪🇭
I love getting the tinned mackerel in spicy tomato sauce, add any veg, with pasta or rice, and it's a very quick easy meal ❤
Always love you're videos taz you are an incredibly strong woman love you're video's you are one of my hero's you are beautiful inside and out
Had to do the equivalent in Australia on a backpackers budget with Aldi. Lived off Tuna pasta, pesto pasta and curry for ages. So easy to buy ingredients, meal prep and freeze it so each meal came out to less than $5 with all the necessary nutrients.
It's so awesome to see your growth in the kitchen!! 🤩Please don't get your health advice from TikTok. Your gut doesn't need special food to detox - that's what your liver is for.
Yessss thank you for saying this! 💜 The detoxing bit made me cringe, not at Taz but at the misinformation.
