10 low cost family meals made in 1 hr from Aldi
HTML-код

- Aldi asked me if I would make my 10 meals in 1 hour using Aldi UK products, I was actually astounded that I could make all these meals for so little money. In this video I show you what the cost of each ingredient was and what I substituted to allow me to get similar products all from Aldi, such as squeezy garlic instead of my usual frozen chopped etc. The total cost was £30.97, working out at £3.09 for a family homemade freezer meal for 4! I still had lots of herbs etc left for the next time, I worked out that minus the store cupboard ingredients that I bought this time, I could do it again for £27.00 so £2.70 for a homemade family freezer meal. Great for anyone trying to save or on a tight budget. #AldiEverydayAmazing #Ad

That's some serious multitasking skills. Here's me falling over myself trying to make a cup of tea and butter my toast at the same time, and you just knocked 10 meals out of the park 😳
Really liked your video and meals you cooked .I shop at Aldi and in Australia the mince alone would be $21,00 for 1kilo kidney beans are $1.10 a can Tomatoes $1.00 a can Eggs are $2 50 for half a dozen cost of living crisis is happening here as well as England 4 years ago prices were so good.
This works out to roughly 75p per person per meal. Home cooking is the way forward for nutritious and inexpensive food. this method is the best I’ve seen and has really motivated me to do the same!!! Genius channel
Thanks so much Batch Lady!
thank you so much Camilla xxxx
Wow! Amazing, people really cant complain about not being able to afford to cook healthy family meals now. I'm so impressed with all the meals you managed and will definitely be making them. Thank you so much for posting!
thankyou for watching and commenting, greatley appreciated
Omg I’m so so glad I found you! This is so helpful, I get depressed and find it difficult to get motivated to cook sometimes so this is perfect to do on good days so I don’t eat shit when I’m having a bad day haha. Thank you so much, you have such a positive energy and seem so lovely! X
Something I find useful from Aldi that we use a lot, especially for pasta dishes are the jars of sauce, literally already done you just need to simmer, saves loads of time for more cosy hearty meals
Love this lady, straight to the point, no nonsense talk king and wasting time
True I can’t be doing with waffling about
You’ve done this so well! It’s clearly well thought out because many times I don’t have time to buy 80 different ingredients ! Thank you for this
I have never felt so insprised! This is what i want in my life lol, weekend plans made 😱❤❤❤
thank you
I just found you. Omg I’m sooo impressed. I’m a grandmother living with my daughter and 3 grandsons. I want to do the batch cooking to help her and save her money. Think I need to pour a drink an binge the afternoon away 👍
Really like how you multi-task, will think about how to do this on a batch weekend cooking day too.
Aldi is really, really good for meat - it tends to be as good or better quality than the 'normal' supermarkets and a lot cheaper.
Great ideas!! It took me a few minutes to figure out what the 'minced beef' was...in the US we call it ground beef. Lol!! I love our Aldi. Again, not sure about the prices since we are dollars and cents. Thank you!
Awesome Lady! You first caught my eye on the programme "this morning" and thought I would look you up. So pleased I did. You really are amazing!!! 🥰
Loved watching this, would love some veggie ideas🥰
Done this and every thing really lovely.
Took is a bit over an hour but worth the time and effort
Wow you’re amazing I use Aldi and I live on a very tight budget I have two kids this is going to save me so much money thank you 🙏 I’m now subscribed to your channel 😀
thanks beryl
This is some incredible multi tasking and work rate. Very impressive! Motherly skills showing 💯
Thank you!!
thank you SO MUCH for these!!!
welcome Gina, lots more tips on my facebook page and website
Great ideas and straight to the point - subscribed! 😀
This was fantastic I am going to be checking out more batch lady.
Absolutely love this new subscriber I love that you multitask this fast that’s exactly the speed I’m looking for I am a huge multitasker and it helps with meals definitely for sure
Yay thank you!! Happy batching!!
Thanks so much for this video. I have watch batch cooking videos before but this one it’s the best and most helpful that I have seen. I shall be trying this myself soon.
Brilliant to hear, enjoy!
Great idea with the grated carrot.
thankyou x
Do you cook straight from frozen or defrost first? If you defrost first, when would you take it out, night before or morning? Thanks
This amazing woman can cook to feed 5000 and still save money!
Fabulous! You really can't beat that.
Fantastic - super impressed with your efficiency and inspired to fill my freezer with these recipes for the students I host. Frozen uncooked mushrooms - never occurred to me I could freeze these. I've don't like the texture of reheated cooked/frozen mushrooms either - another great idea.
Hardly ever find budget meal videos where they make enough to ensure everyone isn't hungry after eating. 2 burgers each instead of half a burger like in other budget vids🤣
The batch lady is amazing love her concept and channel x
thanks Laura
Hiii Scottish friend, I’ve just restarted batch cooking for myself and my husband. Subbed to you and looking forward to new recipes
That is excellent. Thank you for sharing. I have learnt a lot. 🎉
So glad Ive found your account, just what Ive been looking for!
Great food ideas so quick in sn hour thankyou x
Thankyou wonderful recipes just a suggestion as I hate opening bags when dealing with raw meat horrible .open all bags first before you touch the meat .the energy you have and quickness of putting together everything is inspiring to a lot of people x
This is great! Could I swap the mince for red lentils or meat free mince?
Yes you could, definetly
Love it!! Thanks x
welcome
New subscriber here, very good multitasking skills you have and have inspired me to do my own batch cooking and to also use my freezer more often , also on a budget too. Great work 👍🏻
Hi Jenni, that is brilliant to hear!! Happy batching
Great video. Does the £30 cover things like spaghetti and rice that you would need with the Bolognese and chilli or is that just the cost for the things that you used in the video?
No just what I sed in the video, I was supposed to add pasta and rice to the shopping list so I new the final price but forgot on the day, Id add £1.50 max to the price for the rice and spaghetti Bol
You forgot the cumin in the chilly and celery added is also great with all the tomato sauces. Well done though great video!
Fab pleased to find this x
oh my gosh! I cannot find your recipes or shopping lists anywhere? Unless I have to buy a book, but which one, you have so many that I didn't know about until now, love everything you make girl lol
thanks eileen! head to my webiste www.thebatchlady.com, lots of 10 meals in an hour on there :)
Love your vids! I can't find the Recipes or the shopping list huni ?
I love your long handled cup measures please can you advise where l can buy them? Thank you. 💕
If you’re based in England then you can get them from Lakeland www.lakeland.co.uk/26287/Colourworks-4-Piece-Measuring-Cup-Set
I like this batch lady!
All of this actually looks good, and like something I would eat... minus the mushrooms, lol. I definitely need to try doing fajitas!
Yay that is great to hear, happy batching! x
Ordered everything fron Asda, arrived today, so I've got everything all lined up ready to go 😁 cost me about 25 quid for everything for just two of us. Really really pleased and can't wait to fill my freezer. Thank you so much 🥰
Brilliant, hope it went well?
@@TheBatchLady yes, amazingly well! My little boy loves the bolognese, and had no idea it had mushrooms and carrots in 🤣 you made the whole process from start to finish very easy ❤️ I will be having the chilli tonight, can't wait 🥰
@@TheBatchLady Also, the burgers are great! My little boy wolfed it down, I grated and melted some cheddar on them, and put them in toasted brioche buns ..absolutely delicious 😋 thanks again ❤️🙏 looking forward to teaching my boy how to make these, he's going to love getting his hands all mucky in the bowl 🥰
Totally inspirational!
Hi just came across your channel, I cook all my food from Aldi's apart from the odd few bits I can't get in there store like Worcestershire sauce etc, but please don't use store bought garlic paste, please make you're own.
For me I love using things like garlic paste, I'm all about time saving so it just works for me and makes life easier. Everyone to their own though :)
Love your videos where do you get the bag stand from please
I didnt realise this was an ad until I read the description under the video.
Where do you buy your stand and bags?
your brilliant to watch. great job!!!!
is it essential to have slow cooker for these?
we r so used to fry / brown chicken b4 mixing sauces...
Loved this video, 😀 where can I buy the bag stands please they look really useful. X
amazon, type in baggy holders x
Thank you will look now x
Loved it 👍
thanks Lynn
As stupid as it sounds I never thought to freeze burgers and their buns. Sometimes you just need to told😅😅 Thanks soooo much for this great channel. (Love your accent 😊)
Aww so happy that I can be of help! Thank you! x
Where do you get them stands??? What are they called??
Do you freeze the brioche buns as well?
yes they freeze great
WOW a Scottish voice I’m in Edinburgh !!!
I'd love to see an up to date one of how much this would roughly cost now. I'm just starting to batch cook
Yes good idea, I will have a look and recost it to see what its working out at now!
Great for saving time, but why does the chilli not have any paprika or cumin? These are the main spices that make a chilli different from a ragu or bolognese.
I am watching your channel from the United States and we don't have pasata. Do you know what that would be here?
Tinned tomatoes will work the same as pasata, hope this helps!
The big saucepan you are using is it the AGA preserving pan
its not an aga one but it is about the same size
Can you remember where it’s from please
Great video but I wouldn't be sure about all that red meat in your diet, maybe replace mince with fish or chicken even if it is a couple of quid more expensive, grest vid
Patrick so glad you liked this, these are freezer meals so are supposed to go in the freezer and be eaten once a week, i do other videos with chicken, fish etc. Promise we are not eating meat for 10 days in a row. :)
Hi I love this and am going to attempt it this weekend. Do you have the instructions written out at all? I have searched your website and can't find one. If you do, please could you post a link here. Thank you!
thebatchlady.com/recipes/10-low-cost-family-meals-made-in-1-hour-with-aldi-ingredients/
@@TheBatchLady Thanks so much!
Always buy rice in 10kg bags saves you a lot of money.
Also best to buy the 5kg or 10kg bags of pasta too
Enjoyed that
I’m confused with the fajitas - would I have to take the frozen bag out of the freezer In the morning before heating in microwave? Would that not Make the frozen veg go bad? X
They dont stay crunchy like fresh would but you still get the flavour. If you like the crunch substitute the frozen peppers for thick sliced fresh, they retain the crunch after defrosting. Hope that helps x
Wow just found you excellent
can you put these frozen meals straight into the microwave?
What sort of cup do you use to section out the portions please?
I use the cups on my website, they are great- thebatchlady.com/product/kitchencraft-colourworks-scoop-shaped-plastic-measuring-cups-classics-colours-set-of-4/
Love her!
I live alone so that's 40 meals for me, or as I eat very large portions it's 20 meals. Did you buy the spaghetti for the bolognese and rice for the Chilli? Even after a meal like that I would have sponge and custard so factor in custard powder, milk and sugar as well as the ingredients for the sponge. I like chocolate sponge with a coffee custard or vice versa or a jam sponge with a lemon custard.
you could always just make 1 of each meal, then you'd have 10 large portioned main meals
Fabulous thank you ... Where did you get the spoon from pls? X
You are welcome! My spoons are sold on the website- thebatchlady.com/product/kitchencraft-colourworks-scoop-shaped-plastic-measuring-cups-classics-colours-set-of-4/ x
@@TheBatchLady thank you, I've ordered them ... They're definitely okay for putting in hot dishes I assume as you used them like that? x
Hi 🙂Does anyone know where the batch lady gets her reusable zip bags from ? I really want to save on plastic etc 👍🏻
ikea
Could you do a video of veggie 10 meals in an hour? 😍
Made all of these last weekend, my aldi only had 1kg packs so I used 5kg and got 13 burgers, 20 meatballs and 3 bags of fajitas mix so 2 extra meals and plenty of meatballs for my bottomless pits! Would love to make some veggie freezer meals for midweek break from meat though x
@@noodles425 Love it, you star! Youll be set for meals for a long time
This is now I cook, but need to batch things like this for ease because I just dont. However, I'll be adding salt and pepper! Where's the seasoning here? Can't have that.
Hi
Where do you buy the bag stands from
Aldi
Great ideas but would add a cup of onions to the burgers
Great video ! I will definitely be doing some of this recipes on Sunday for the week ! Always do my shopping at Aldi.
It would be better for you to use a clip on lapel mic to cut the echo of your kitchen (also drop the "ok guys" "hi guys" it's too American)
thanks Juan, got the mic just trying to work out editing video with other sound
Do you cook from frozen or
Defrost first ?
Each meal may have different cooking instructions, they are all at the bottom of the method- thebatchlady.com/recipe/10-minced-beef-family-meals-in-1-hour/
Where do u get the cup from
amazon, kitchen craft cups
Where could I buy the cups ?
Amazon Kitchen Kraft

I know who's house I'd want to be quarantined in ☝️😂 x
make room for me and my wheelchair and don't forget picking me up!! hahaha lol
@@donnacouch7430 😂 x
But how do you cook the burgers and the meatballs? I have no idea how to cook
All cookng times for this video are up on my website. Head to Thebatchlady.com, then 10 meals in 1 hour and then 10 low cost family meals in 1 hr from aldi. Scroll down the recipe and it will give you cooking times for the meatballs :)
V
most cooks show what the food looks like in the pan, but you never do, it would be good to see it
LESLIE KNOPE !!
Just curious, why do you always make 2 meals of the same recipe?
my channel is all about saving time, so making 2 of each meal, literally takes about 2 minutes more than making just one, so its a great time saving tip.
Did u get the food free then
Hahaha
I wonder what the price of all this would be today...a few grand probably.
can you do more vegetarian ones?
There is a full vegetarian 10 meals In 1 hour in my first book x
Please can you slow down, it would be nice if you explained the prices more and described things better instead of talking extremely fast and very choppy editing. Showing the process from start to finish would prove your only took an hour claim, it most probably took longer but we will never know as you've edited it to under 15 minutes.
Why did ye use all the tomato sausage in thins when Aldi sells one with veg in it for 90cent???
Probably healthier because no added sugar there is loads added to the ready jars
Nah you can have chilli without paprika and cumin with chilli
I can't even see the video...
Not free range eggs?
I'm not sure, this was done on the cheapest cost. I have another video showing the same meal sequence but with ingredients I usually use, it would be done with free range eggs and our own farm beef. This one was done to see if you were on a tight budget how much you could do it for.
Hello, first of all I would recommend to wash an eggs before use and after check if they're not rotten. You have put the egg directly into the mince beef 3:06 minute before checking them. What if once of them would be bad? You should have thrown the whole mice meat away losing your money. Does it make sense when it comes to cook on your budget darling?
