BUDGET BOX: how many meals can I make out of £1.50?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- after the amazing meat reduced bonanza, I forgot to buy loo roll and walked past a few £1.50 boxes filled with produce.
The challenge I've set myself, is how many meals can I make out of the box. Today it's roasted veg (with pork shoulder steaks) and tomorrow I am planning to roast more veg & some of the sweet potatoes but turn it into a soup. After that I would like to make a passata/marinara that will form part of a cannelloni meal. What could be a fourth or even a fifth?! maybe sweet potatoe fries ~ any suggestions welcome....
Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching....

Roasted stuffed peppers, a stew or casserole, cheese & onion potato pie with grilled tomatoes. Sweet potato wedges with a chill tomato dip. The list of possibilities are endless. Happy cooking 😃
Oh, Kerry, this is the top and color that you look fabulous wearing. There is a turquoise one as well 🎉
My Kerry that was good to watch . What a great find, you could put a lot of people to shame how you try to do things, good on you. If i get " cheap" peppers i like to make soup with them.
Hope your enjoying your lovely new house, from me in Irvine x
Wow Kerry what a bargain, you got different soups, stuffed peppers, sweet potato fries and mash, roasted veggies. The world is your oyster kerry, I'm looking forward to seeing what you make.😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What a bargain. You could do a caramelised red onion and feta cheese tart using a roll of ready rolled puff pastry? Caramelised red onion relish. Red pepper and sweet potato soup. The tomato and pepper marinara sauce sounds good.
Yes, here in Canada, the olive oil is ridiculously priced. I paid almost double what I did last year. I've been told for years about how good olive oil is for your health but I'm switching back to butter as well. Cheers!🥰🖖
On wow just watched the pigs in blankets in pastry they def came across fab u less. Have you ever tried a egg and bacon pie in the air fryer myself and my wife started using in Dec she takes cakes and bread and we use our oven now very little, thank you for your videos we love sitting watching them so much take care. Karen and michael.
Thank you Karen and Michael👋😃💕that's so lovely of you to say so. The pie sounds lovely, I've added that to my 'to do' list😃👍👍
Love your videos ,I live in northern Scotland shop at lidl but never found bargain box like you did wish I could though as I’m very much like you trying to get good food at reasonable prices ,I just try to do the best I can with what I have
Hi Elizabeth, i’m in north scotland too, agree everything is so very expensive, and the Co Op is extortionate!
Hi Kerry what a bargain well done.we have been away so I have some catch up to do.Lois 😊
Hope you had a lovely time Lois!👋😃💕
Bah who needs loo roll. Great video as always 😊
Hi Kerry I had some peppers that were on the verge ??!! So I chopped them up and froze them. They were great. 2 bags different size pieces foe different meals. Then froze some tomatoes, chopped up. Grand xx
You are an inspiration 👏👏👏
Aw thank you☺️💕
Lovely - roast veg in the air fryer is great. If I'm doing a slow cooker meal I quite often just give the veg/meat a quick roast in the air fryer first to get a bit of colour on it! Oh, and if you're looking to change up your diet a bit - the 'Zoe' channel is worth looking into. Spin off researchers from Imperial College (so not crazy youtubers!) who go into what regular people can do to change diets, ingredients etc. Worth a look anyway 🙂
Wasn't Zoe created over covid? I signed up then (not youtube) you'd tell them if you had covid symptoms etc. I've subbed anyway because you're right, def interesting and not profit led
@@budgetcookingukYeah - I first came across them during covid-times when they were focussed on that. But I think that was never their primary focus - just came about at the same time they were developing their "let's check a lot of people and see what we can figure out" app. They seem like a decent bunch - not flogging dodgy supplements or whatever else you often find on youtube!
Hi Kerry, such a great bargain. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it all. See you on the next one, byee 👋Jen 💕😘xx
hi kerry, how about veggi bolognaise, or veggi cottage pie, or curry. and maybe veggi wraps. anyway good luck for the rest of your recipes
Just started to watch! Ooh roasted pepper and tomato soup - would be delish with your lovely olive bread! Did I see sweet potatoes? Hairy Bikers sweet potatoes Dahl in the pressure cooker! Yummo! Your roasted veg looks smashing! What a great challenge!!! Sally ❤
Well done , on your dishes, good idea with veg if like you say you csn use them up,quickly. Better than being wasted.
Those Veg Boxes are absolute delight.
Folk where I live according to shop are reluctant to pick them up goodness knows why.
I often end up with a couple and nothing goes to waste from usual steam veg, roasted, veg, soups, stuffed peppers, tomato sauces and tomatoes in a sandwich down to cherry tomatoes to just eat as yummy along with raw peppers... Oh Ann not forgetting depends on box a lovely fresh salad...
A box of rainbow colour veg bursting with flavour and such a blooming good bargain. 😋
Probably cus it's too big for most females to lift it I certainly wouldn't as I'm on my own no way 😞
@@Silverdale15
I am I wheelchair and ask them to put in car so I can take in at home a bit at a time.
Shop staff always happy to help 💜
@@hjcdormouse7337 all depends on where u live ....it must be vvv difficult for you too. .. not sure anyone would assist an able bodied 66 year old people generally don't give a fig...
The £1.50 boxes I pick up from Lidl are never like that , nothing is in packets either , but yes good value all the same .
Meal looked tasty😊
Spanish tortilla. Curry. Pasta bake, veg loaded and then cover with cheese so the boys will eat it.
Bargain! Stuffed peppers? I love a mixed pepper pasta sauce! Maybe thinly slice sweet pots to mske homemade crisps? Healthy snacks for the boys..😂❤
Great video, what a bargain 🎉
I make roasted veg burritos with either some sort of meat(mince beef or chicken etc) or with lentils (I got the idea from Frugal Jo)
Oo that sounds delicious Maureen 😋😋😋 we are visiting family and have just had a lovely nachos with mince/veg n rice/sour cream and all the rest of it - a feast! The layered nachos would do very well in an Airfryer, hmmm
What a bargain. A roasted sweet potato, pepper and onion soup might be nice.
As a suggestion, a veg quiche would help use up some of the veggies :)
That’s a really good bargain
Great bargain box, love your roasted vegetables, unfortunately I can’t cook in the base of my Airfryer but I’ll try in a foil tray. Ratatouille with your onions, peppers and tomatoes 😊
Don't understand?
You're very lucky. I stopped shopping at Lidl because my local store was selling produce in a worse state than yours at full price.
Ooo that's not good, mine has been fine and I've even started shopping at a 2nd location after moving, all seems well so far😃👍
Back again, that roast veggies looks very tasty and healthy and there lovely served with cous cous topped with a fried egg. The egg on the veggies of course, lol.🤣🤣🤣
My Italian mother in law used to cook the pork chops in tomato marinara sauce on the stovetop /hob for hours. Luckily you could use your Corsori Insta pot. The pork falls apart and taste great on it's own or over pasta. Another idea is sausages/pepper and onions sliced. You could serve on a roll with some marinara sauce. Love everyone's suggestions. They're suggestions help us all.
That really is pretty darned good.Well done.Those peppers would be great stuffed.Olive oil is really expensive here in Germany too.What´s that all about I wonder?
Evening Kerry, I've seen others with these boxes but haven't seen them in our lidl when I'm in (although not in there very much). Absolutely fantastic for the money. You could blanche the veg and freeze it. Omg, canelonni is my favourite. We had your chicken tikka kebabs tonight and with 3 chicken skewers with red pepper & onion on top of lettuce, cucumber, and a WW wrap and it was only 3 points which was amazing. I lost 1lb today, but I'm delighted as I lost and not gained. What about veg lasagne and that's using the marinara sauce twice. Sweet potato fries 😋😋😋. That looked bloomin delicious 😋. I'm off to the other side now. See you there xxxxx Jac 💚♥️
Looks delicious Kerry,did you part boil the new potatoes first,another great enjoyable video Xx
Hi Kerry, that was a great box from lidl. Roasted veg is yummy and so we're the pork steaks. Look forward to seeing what you come up with next. Is it marinara you're thinking of? The price of olive oil is astronomical now, I've been using butter a lot as well. ❤
I only use olive oil so it´s making things more expensive now.I heard from a Doctor..Dr.Berg I think.. on here ,that the other oils take about six months to leave your system..pretty scary.
Hi Kerry, you got a real bargain there with all that veg. I love roast potatoes and carrots, i'll have to do some peppers and onions for my husband. I've just learned something new, i normally do them on air fry, i've never noticed the roast button before
I use roast button a lot it's less violent cooks way better the roast setting.
I never see any of these boxes.
I've being shopping in Lidl for as long as the local store has being open, November 2019, and they have never had any of those boxes for sale. I've never bought Olive oil as it's expensive, even when the price was lower, I buy the two litres of frying oil for £2.99 as I make my own mayonnaise it's a bit dearer than the veg, rapeseed, oil but cheaper than the sunflower oil I used to buy.
Hi Kerry. No garlic in roast veg??? Teehee...I sneak it in..Suz isnt that keen...😂 If you make passata and add black olives n capers..it become Putanesca.... translated means tart or wh%res sauce!! Yumm. Xx
Ah I snuck garlic in the next day (sweet potato and roasted veg turned into soup - yum - tues vlog coming up) ooo I like the sound of putanesca!!! 😂😋😋😋fab pics re cottage, got the chimneys Mel 👍such a pretty cottage too xxx
@@budgetcookinguk Glad pix work! Really enjoying your budget reduced price Lidl challenge...what a fab haul!! Today I made waffles from scratch in airfryer...oooh...yum....Greek yoghurt n stem ginger for Suz...butter n brown sugar for me...plus turkey curry in Corsori pressure cooker...in 10 minutes!!!!! Thanks for heads up...a great piece of kit!!
olive oil is expensive now because they said bad weather has wiped out a lot olive groves and reserves are running low - seems a lot of america still gets it cheap but i guess, maybe, they grow olives locally??
I'm tending to use Lard where possible for cooking
my local aldi & lidl don't do those boxes but then I also don't drive so no point shopping there as not dragging shopping home on two+ buses
Marinaaaaard bab. X
Kerry, what supermarket did you get the bargain box from please. I love all your videos thank yoiu & well done x
Hi Zara, that was from my local lidl, if you have one near you, it's worth asking the staff if they do it as it seems very random but very welcome when it does happen😃👍💕
Kerry, I too am trying to give up processed food and eating more healthy. The FIRST thing I stopped buying was ALL seed oils - they are deadly! I know olive oil is really expensive - but what price health? For roasting I've gone back to good old lard.
Ah I do love lard lol, you know you're right, it clicked when I realised per ml olive oil is cheaper than butter per gram🤦♀️even at current prices - it's just the short term affordability £1.69 or £3.99, esp when you've a fixed budget and every penny counts but! I will squeeze it back in and use the butter less, the cheaper option albeit less obvious (hope that makes sense)😄👍💕
It’s cold pressed oil that is healthy. If you can find a version of rapeseed oil that is cold pressed it will usually be cheaper than EVOO and will be produced in uk.
Our local Lidl seems to have given up on having the £1.50 boxes which is a great shame. I loved it when l got my hands on one of those.
Mine do the £1.50 boxes occasionally, its never constant - maybe worth asking the staff? It's always stuff near or on sell by dates, always veg/fruit
I used to get a box every few weeks but l haven't had one for months and nor has anybody else l know. I used to love it when l found one.
Hi Kerry, what a lovely bargain with that veggie box , how do you get them please.? Looking forward to seeing the dishes you do with them. From Linda C ❤😊
did you know that if you cook your potatoes and leave them over night in the fridge, the starch will change , better for your stomach
Chop up in curry
Ooo yes, delish😋😋😋
Look out for rapeseed oil for cooking Kerry, good for heart health and lowering blood pressure xx
Rapeseed oil is very good but look at the bottles ingredients labelled Vegetable Oil....Sainsburys own brand IS 100% Rapeseed Oil..! Very much cheaper than the 'posh' bottles of Rapeseed oil...this is a little tip passed on to me about a year ago....who knew?
No seed oil or vegetable oils are healthy.
Provided it’s cold pressed
@@Patricia-kk8tr no seed oil is healthy.
