    I liked this series pre-Covid, and now with prices going up, I'm even more invested in it. I would love to see Lidl.

      Yes, Lidl is my go to as well, so that would be great! Not sure Lidl in the UK has the same stuff as Lidl in Finland, but the home brands ought to be the same.

    Not quite supermarket suggestion, but I think it would be really cool to see a video where you challenge yourself to make meals just from what you have in the pantry or in the freezer at the time. These items that can be stored longer are often cheaper than buying things for the fridge, and it's a myth that you need all fresh things to eat healthily!

    Top tip! When your hummus is stuck at the bottom of the Vitamix, add a little water and make a creamy chick pea dressing for a salad. (Or just stand and eat it with a long spoon!) 😉

      Would also be interesting prize-wise since I just roughly calculated how much the first meal would have cost me in Germany and just the Wonder-Chunks themselves would have been 3€ so let‘s say 2£ and with all the different veggies and fresh noodles it would have added up to at least 7€ so 3,50 p.P. And in Germany food is cheap compared to other countries in the EU, so its not like its just more expensive here in general

    i doubt you'll see this but i just wanted to say thank you so much for this video, i'm a student and for the last two years i genuinely think i've checked your website and channel at least twice a week, your recipes are just so great and easy but also so tasty!! it's actually quite hard to find vegan recipes that are both affordable and don't include a ridiculous number of steps, so i appreciate your content so much. thank you for such wonderful videos :)

    These videos are so inspirational and really help people on a tight budget. It's brilliant to watch you shop as cheap as you can and then watch what food you make with your haul. So many people are living on really cheap processed food right now, as times are hard for many, , but you've just shown how we can shop and make fabulous meals on a budget. Thank you both x

  • @kertmelinda

    This video got me so excited about moving in with my partner next year thinking about cooking and baking together 😍 You inspired me to cook for myself and become a vegetarian 4 years ago. I have been making a lot of bread alternatives lately because inflation is crazy in Hungary, where I live and literally a loaf of bread costs 3-5x as a kg of flour. I have been having so much fun with it, learning how to make a food that has been a main element of our diet, and the results are actually really great, especially knowing that it doesn't contain anything non-necessary, unhealthy additives etc.

    Would love to see this with tesco. We can never get everything we need from Aldi/Lidl, and they are too far away from us to then have to go to another supermarket as well. So we always do tesco as we can get everything we need but I feel like it’s definitely more expensive, so would love to see what you would recommend for a Tesco budget shop x

    I had never tried Soya milk before as I'd heard it didn't taste nice. But given the price of cows milk lately I decided to give it a go as you said in your previous video it's the cheapest milk alternative.... And I really liked it!!! Lesson learnt for sure

    • @benda777nba
      @benda777nba 2 года назад +1

      Yes soy milk (silk) is quite delicious. I had been drinking almond or oat milk but since I lift realized I needed higher protein milk so another reason going back to soy milk.

  • @zoed4827
    @zoed4827 2 года назад

    I really enjoy your videos for a few reasons. I like how simple they are, there's little ingredients and easy to follow recipes. The cost, the amount of 'budget' vegan what I eat in a days I click on and the start of the video their making a cup of tea with oatly milk, one of the most expensive on the market. Yours are genuinely budget meals for example using the own brand soya milks as i do too. Also I love the time you take to actually show and explain things. You have really helped with my vegan journey, so I am thankful for your videos. 👍

    The end of homemade bread with butter - oh yes it's the best part 😍
    Aldi in Germany definitely has Tofu, both natural and smoked, maybe the UK Aldi doesn't carry it (anymore)? I even bought vegan salmon slices there some weeks ago which I really liked on a slice of bread, so in case you see it there at some point I can recommend it!

    • @welcomeback2mychannel

    It’s crazy to me how cheap groceries are over there compared to the US. I know salaries are a little lower though. Even if I convert what you spent to dollars and double it there’s no way I could buy similar products in the same amounts for less than $56.

    • @HellenShort
      @HellenShort 2 года назад +3

      It's because the UK is tiny compared to America and transportation of food and other products costs a fraction of what it costs in America. The interesting thing is food prices here are up by more than 50%, especially tinned products and oil. Everything used to be a lot cheaper.

      @aoifeoneill6286 2 года назад +1

      @@HellenShort we do actually import the majority of our food but even then it comes from Europe so it’s not bad in comparison to American prices. I think the whole world is experiencing the food price increase at the minute, it seems the cheapest option is to be vegan or vegetarian with very little meat or dairy
