- Hello and welcome to my channel 🙂
We are a working couple in our early fifties with a teenager and a dog.
Our channel is about budgeting,cash stuffing, saving and learning to live without relying on credit.
In 2023 we are focussing on gaining greater financial security before we start on our debt payoff journey next year.
I share our real numbers as well as the ups and downs of our budget as I find this has helped me learn from others in the budgeting community.
I hope you will join us on our journey and thank you for watching🙂

This is amazing! Given me a lot to think about. Thanks for sharing 😊
You are so welcome! 🙂
Hi have you ever seen the vlog Becky @acerhomestead she does frozen meals as well she uses a crockpot to do meals. The meal cooks during the day in the crockpot without the stress of having to come home and cook for the evening meal. This could help. I even had a close friend prepare the meals for the week with her husband over the weekends. So they do the meals and spend time together. Just sending out ideas. Good luck with the grocery budget this month.👍
I will check it out, thanks for the recommendation and tips 🙂
That's not a bad haul for Tesco and Costco ❤
I was quite strict sticking to the list 🙂
Omg i haven't seen pasta bows gluten free before! Cool❤
Me neither! 😁
😊
Wow, very organised! I’m not sure I could do a monthly meal plan as it feels like the end of the month is too far away and there’s nothing to look forward to if that makes sense? So would be good to see how you get on! 🤞🏻 At some point would you mind doing a cash stuffing video for beginners? I really want to start and have the wallets ready etc but every month I just seem to follow the same pattern 😣 Love your videos. You explain things so well. You and your family should be super proud of what you’ve achieved x
When I started cash stuffing I just did a couple of annual sinking funds, then added in a couple of variable before I started cash stuffing my weekly expenses. Start small and good luck with giving it a go 🙂
I buy frozen veg for slow cooker recipes.
Like you say just chuck them in and you only use what you need so they're not wasteful
I love lentil shepherds pie ❤
“The muggles can eat the muggle pasta” 😂😂😂😂
It’s one of our favourites 😋
Loved the video!
If you ever would to share the Slowcooker sausage link cassarole.....yes please!!!!🙏
Sending love from the Netherlands😘
It’s the Sausage Pot recipe in this booklet:

Wow how awesome! I want to maybe try this for even a fortnight instead of shopping each week…
Go for it! I’m hoping it will work for us 🤞
That meal plan is impressive, I only plan weekly as I go off fancying meals so monthly wouldn't work for me. I have tried it 😂🙈 .. It's great to have treats days and days off from cooking, we always have a Saturday night takeaway as a day off 😀. Fab haul ❤❤
I’ve tried to stick to family favourites this month so I know we will eat it although we haven’t stuck to the exact days this week 🙂
Great haul and meal plan. I believe all the Heck range are GF. The sausages are 97% pork and 3.25 for 6 from Sainsburys, they should be on sale in Tesco too, not sure how they compare to Tesco Finest price wise
Yes they are, we often have their chicken ones 🙂
Food budget is so complicated, like you is also my worse area, my food budget also includes the same areas as you have included in yours. I still think you do an amazing job with your budget 💪💪💪💗💙💗
Thank you 💖 it’s so hard to know if you are spending too much or what is a good amount to spend as everyone’s preferences and tastes are so different
Love videos like this 😊
I'm so glad! 🙂
Also Aldi do lovely gf sausages
Yes they do, we had them a couple of weeks ago 😋
Saturday night is a no cook night as well. Theres 2 adults in our house and we spend about £50 a week on food. We get most of our food from m & s and aldi. I think we do well, i think the key for us is that we really only buy what we need and steer clear of snacks (which can be quite hard) we waste very little. I try to be virtuous and use what weve got for our next meal if that makes sense, rather than going out and buying more
We definitely waste more than we should 😔 In an ideal world I would like to spend about £70/week a for the 3 of us but we have a long way to go to get there. You do very well on £50/week 🙂
@@50somethingbudgets the fridge looks very sad at the end of the week 😃
Love a food haul ❤
Me too!! 🙂
Love a good haul , and I love a good plan. Helps with budgeting so much
I am really hoping this will help reduce our food spending 🙂
Wow quick get cooking! You’re so organised, I can only plan one day at a time am rubbish at it. Am going to batch cook one recipe a week and gradually stick up the freezer. Branston beans are the best 😊 We are getting a Costco next year finally. Is the frozen fruit loads cheaper than Tescos?
The fruit is cheaper than Tesco and the raspberries are massive! I really must set a day aside this weekend to batch cook, even cooking double at a time and sticking half in the freezer is really useful.
Could you do the same with the sausages as you have done with the pasta and keep the gluten free ones just for you?
I also hate cooking on a saturday night too, so ive started to either use the slow cooker on a saturday or we eat our big meal at lunch time instead if we are all at home which is working so much better for us as we're not tempted to just get a takeaway instead!
Buying the muggles different sausages is something to think about. I usually put them in the air fryer but they would have to be cooked separately if they were GF and not GF and would have to be GF if in a casserole we all eat due to cross contamination issues. I’m glad it’s not just me who hates cooking on a Saturday 🤣
Great food haul 👏
I can only suggest to half the housework in order to batch cook as batch cooking definitely helps with the food finances I have found & with all that protein should keep everyone full so as not to snack 🤞🏻😂xx
I have found that when I eat sufficient protein I have no cravings for snacks. I will be batch cooking this weekend for the following week 🙂
I love a gluten free chip shop. Its the best feeling in the world when you find a good one 😋.
Give hubby a beer fund envelope and send him to the shop for it. When its empty tough luck lol
I’ve just ordered a beer tokens envelope 🙂 I hadn’t had a spam fritter in about 35 years until last year when we discovered this GF chip shop 😋
❤
Maybe worth trying Asda and seeing how much you save as Tesco is very spenny. You can also earn Asda rewards then too
I stopped using Asda as they seemed to get more expensive. I do have one quite close 🙂
@@50somethingbudgets they won an award for cheapest basket, then morrisons, then tesco. Think sainsburys was the most expensive
I find Asda is more expensive even with my discount. I always save more at Tesco x
When it says ‘fresh eggs’ are they free range? I know it’s a touchy subject and I’m not being rude at all. Just interested x
No I do not think they are free range.
Great meal plan
Maybe beer could come out of personal money ? Sorry if that is
A contentious suggestion 😂x
That is something I have been considering but would need to up personal money to cover it.
@@50somethingbudgetsI've had to do this with my hubby when money is tight. However when it's in the budget I says weekend drinking only. If he wants more he can fund it xx
It tends to be the weekend mainly as we are usually at the gym 3 times during the week so little drinking during the week but that is a good idea for those times he wants extra like tonight when the footie is on x
