When you were doing the shopping around 2:13 I noticed there were some Taste Me, Dont Waste Me boxes on the stand. I work at a Sainsburys and make them boxes up sometimes. It might be worth you trying one out someday. £2 per box & you can really get some good value in them. It tends to be either fruit & Veg with a best before that has just passed or entire packs of fruit with several days before best before but where the packaging has split, such as a pack of mushrooms, grapes or strawberries etc. As with most things that are trying to avoid surplus food there's no guarantee of what you'll get or if they'll be anything to make the boxes up with. But if they are available & fancy a challenge of making recipes with what's in the box it's worth a try.
@@onethingafteranother they tend to put them out in the morning at ours can be hit or miss how many are there and how fast they go. FYI if we go to our Sainsbury's and Asda just after 7:30 they reduce any yellow stickers to 10p again it's hit or miss but the other day I got £34 worth of stuff for £1:30 and once in asda hit a baked goods gold mine so was able to get stuff for wider family too xx
@@emmaw944 nice! Never seen that here but I'll check it out in case. Some of them are on too good to go app, but not Sainsbury's. Do you mean in the morning or evening? 😊
hello sam, not sure if you reply but it upset me when you mentioned you being a “small creator” it doesn’t matter how many subs you have your content is actually amazing. You do not require any of that as proven by your current content!! Keep it up SAM🤘🏽
I think being a small creator = more personal attention and care into the videos quite often Def the case here! And it’s all his style and personality and it shows :)
1st video I've watched; the fact that Ive learnt more here than the majority of large content creator. These are definitely "gourmet meals" for £10😋👍🔥🔥🔥;where others have made bland, boring and meh
I really like the addition of the pantry items to this. All of the meals look good for the budget and during my student days are things I could have done with.
One thing I will put out there if you want spices and herbs, don't bother with the big supermarkets go to your nearest Asian market half the price and twice as much... But be careful you'll go in for two or three little bits and walk out with two or three bags full, me and my wife do everytime we go, it's awesome
It really depends on how much you use. Yes they’re bigger packs and cheaper, but if you don’t use a huge amount it’ll go stale before you use it, the plastic bags don’t keep it as fresh and the glass jars are much more practical
@@thecraftylarder6943 we do use quite a lot but we always store them in air tight lock boxes. My brother has saved the glass jars and decants them when needs be, they seem to last quite a while
Try getting a bag of dried beans like pintos. They are cheap and you get alot for the money and they are super easy to fix, same for a bag of rice. Beans and rice are a wonderful easy pairing. Super simple to fix and you can put practically anything with them and fix them separately or together so many tasty ways.
been watching you since around 8k, genuinely catches me out sometimes at how good your videos are, like everything about them is so high end, genuinely get confused whether im watching a 100k+ subs channel.
Slways love seeing what you do with your ingredients. Cheap Spaghetti is ace with just olive oil and garlic/chilli or butter and marmite and you can do so much else with it v cheaply peas, cheese fromage frais, warm/pasta salad withthe tiniest bit of bacon/cheese veg flavourings
I wonder if, after washing, you could lay the hoops on an oven tray and put them in a very low oven for a while to sort of dry them a bit and maybe they wouldn’t be so mushy?
Yay! I've been looking forward to your next upload. Great end to a rotten day. I really enjoy your channel. I left a comment a few weeks ago about losing my mother in law really suddenly, and you're still helping me switch off from the sadness surrounding us. Thanks for existing on this platform ❤
Mayo was runny because you put the egg whites in! You don't put egg whites in mayo or if you do, you whisked them separately, add chives and then fold them carefully in the mayo!
As nice as an improved camera or whatever would be, your videos are fantastic already and people enjoy them for the content you already make. No need to worry about all that production stuff 😃
i think the runnyness of the mayo came from not enough oil rather than the prawns, it was quite loose before adding the prawns, the mayo had emulsified but there just wasn’t enough oil in there i think
Sam, Sam, Sam, you crumbled...You literally and figuratively crumbled. I could make a crumble... But I won't... Pull it together Sam, we believe in better puddings...
Hi Sam, Just for general info. If you find your water bechamel was lacking in richness, you could always add a knob of butter to give it a final boost of flavour. (Since you said it was fine I guess it didn't need it) if folks are living on a strict budget whenever they go out to a fast food joint they can stock up on sauces condiments etc. I was cheering for the flippin Flip! a Croque Oncle Robert. I dunno about the rings-hoops-Loop-d-Loops, we might be verging on another Croque. Cheers from Mexico Jacques
I really like Shakshuka its cheap tasty and a perfect brunch dish. I usually would have flatbreads which really is just flour water and olive oil with herb of choice. the Stamford Street range in Sainsburys is not bad, although that cheese isnt my cheese of choice it actually tastes pretty good and of cheddar and not like that cheap orange processed cheese ugh.
I like that you use basic condiments, herbs, spices, and pantry items during these challenges. Realistically, if someone doesn't have their act together enough to acquire a basic spice cabinet and pantry, they are highly unlikely to bother even making food at home, never mind searching the internet for meal plans.
Why not charge yourself for example a 5% fee for use of "pantry staples"? That way, you don't have to include the £3 bottle of cooking oil in your budget every time, but you also are being realistic and nobody will complain about it. So for a £10 budget challenge you assume you're spending ~50p on pantry stuff and have £9.50 to spend on the macro ingredients. Even if we have these things "lying around" they were at least once upon a time paid for, and will eventually deplete.
Thank you once again Sam great a great mix of meals for your money( And you have your own quality control expert the lovely Riley doing the sniff test ) keep up the great challenges.x
Now I’ve finished the video, cringed at broiler and cried at rinsing spaghetti… what about £10 of pantry staples that you think everyone should have and from there the can be used in future challenges because it’s budget based?
I very rarely buy expensive brands maybe once every now and then as a treat for myself apart from that i buy cheap because that's all i can afford to buy these days.
Stamford Street is an awesome line of groceries.....I don't these aren't food but the Stamford street Loo Roll is THE BEST Loo roll!!!! Also the Stamford Street cleaning products are good too x
Just stumbled upon your channel! Some great ideas especially apple and cinnamon with porridge! I will definitely be trying that! I think with the prawn mayo toasted sandwich I would have to sprinkle smoked paprika over the prawns! Now going to check out the rest of your videos!
There’s gotta be a way to do something with spaghetti hoops. Like the lock down pasta trend they could probably be drained, dehydrated and fried into chips
I like that camera mount! Good to see you attracting some attention. Glad I can say I've been here for a while! Your croque madame looked like it kicked butt. I'm actually gonna applaud you NOT saving that sauce. Canned pasta sauce is usually vile and overly sweet, to appease children. I would've tried frying the pasta hoops up a little with the butter & garlic, to firm them up, then taking them out, cooking the rest of your things, then adding the pasta back in. You can get lemon juice & dijon for under 50p? Wow, we need some price control in the US.
why did you buy tinned pasta and not dried pasta? Surely they are the same price or cheaper? Was tgat because it was unavailable- sorry I missed that bit of the video was doing my laundry. I was never a fan of tinned pasta smells revolting like going past a pub after people have thrown up the next morning. Never thought of rinsing off the sauce though.👍
Hey Sam shop at sainsburys for certain stuff cos i prefer it than other shops like some of their taste the difference range is really nice, i know you are on a £10 budget but i suggest if you try the taste the difference curry, its the nicest supermarket curry ive had, sometimes its £4.25 but sometimes you can get it on nectar card price for £3.75, some things in sainsburys are more expensive like some biscuits for example they are more expensive than asda, so i buy them from asda instead, but deffo give the curry a try and taste the difference ham leek potato gratin is also lovely
Tinned tomatoes are a healthy tasty versatile must in any storecupboard. The dish that you made looked great Sam. Also is there any way of disguising tinned pasta sauce.....maybe not😊
Well done, I don’t see a problem with using pantry staples, I would even go as far as to say anything already started/fridge leftovers are fair game, as not many people start off with any empty fridge and we don’t want to be wasteful. Shame on you for not using the spaghetti juice
I hope you appreciate the low food prices you folks enjoy. I know they have been going up lately, but you would probably have a stroke if you had to shop for groceries here. The prawns alone would have eaten half of your budget.

Tbf baked beans 27p just feels much better everytime for me they come in sauce it's quick cheap n good 😅
@@SamWilder.Also a bag of frozen veggies goes a long way, cheap way to add some vegetables to a sauce
the jingle is my favourite thing
Have you say didn't realise oat milk or croque moissuier was so easy to make. Good tips
been watching you since around 8k, genuinely catches me out sometimes at how good your videos are, like everything about them is so high end, genuinely get confused whether im watching a 100k+ subs channel.
Glad you got the oats, they are so versatile, healthy and you making your own milk from them, even better.
Always wondered how they milked oats 😂 must be like milking a fish.
We used to call bread dipped in egg, gypsy toast!
Wonder whk else remembers it?

How this guy only has 11k subs is mad! Keep going Sam 🎉🎉

@@SamWilder. My Belgian timbers shuddered! 😆 😂 😂
I'm so sad to see the hoop sauce wasted. Can't personally afford to waste anything I buy.
Such quality content for a ‘small creator’, you always manage to amaze me with your commitment as well!
Congrats on ur first sponsor it was definitely the most convinced I’ve ever been for a RUclips sponsor and I don’t even need a camera
Use milk powder -- skimmed, or Nido wholemilk powder, or evaporated milk !
The broiler!!! Sam
😂 it worked fine!!
@@SamWilder. It's a grill... you're a brit sir!.
@@DisTurbedSimulations I watch way too many American cooking RUclipsrs haha 😂😅
@@SamWilder.almost gave a thumbs down purely for the broiler comment!
Never heard of broiler, I thought he said 'Under the boiler'.... That's not gonna cook it! 😂
"it has this extendo rod" or what folk like to call a selfie stick.
😂😂😂
What can I say, another great upload there Sam,
Excellent Thumbnail
The jingle was an entertaining addition Sam! :)
😁😁🎵🎵
Never heard of a Croque Madame, but it looks so good!
As nice as an improved camera or whatever would be, your videos are fantastic already and people enjoy them for the content you already make. No need to worry about all that production stuff 😃
I’ve never seen someone put their bread IN their omelette before 😂
It went viral in lockdown!
French toast
@@SamWilder. ahh I work in a hospital so lockdown wasn’t as much a thing for me - I must have missed it!!
@@soulsecrets7930 fair point, but not quite the same!
Clicked immediately - I love these challenge videos.
Yay!
If you add tomato ketchup to mayonnaise and mix it it’s like a Mary rose sauce for prawns 🍤
I don't recall your older videos being so sweary 😂
I too have recently discovered your videos, keep up the great content!
i think the runnyness of the mayo came from not enough oil rather than the prawns, it was quite loose before adding the prawns, the mayo had emulsified but there just wasn’t enough oil in there i think
17:25 looked brilliant, 👌
Broiler? Seriously?! Its a GRILL!
Sam, Sam, Sam, you crumbled...You literally and figuratively crumbled.
I could make a crumble...
But I won't...
Pull it together Sam, we believe in better puddings...
I’ll make a crumble for you another time 😝🥰
I agree with using the store cupboard. Thats what we do in reality. Staples bulk out a basic meal or improve flavours
Lunch was a big protein hit. Egg cheese and ham
This was such a good videooooo! I can’t believe how quickly your account is growing it feels like only a few weeks ago you were on 5k subscribers 😮
Just the egg yolk for mayo I think. You could make meringues with the egg whites 😊
The stamford street co range is excellent
It’s a grill. You aren’t form the USA 😜
2:32 has someone been playing with Suno?? Love it lol. Spent too much time on there myself 🤣
If you can do 2 days for 2 people with veggies, winner winner. Try that maybe?
I can't imagine anything in US stores that compare to 19 p

Loving the videos Sam.
do a q&a video!!!
Congratulations on the sponsor. Love the vids! Also who’s the doggo? We need more of him/her!
Now I’ve finished the video, cringed at broiler and cried at rinsing spaghetti… what about £10 of pantry staples that you think everyone should have and from there the can be used in future challenges because it’s budget based?
If you wanted to "work on" the prawn and spaghetti hoops recipe, you can always buy dried Anelli pasta - Ocado stock it.
Could be worth an experiment?
So entertaining as usual! I agree with using pantry staples and l loved the omelette sandwich - haven't seen that before 😀
nice to see you becoming a little more inventive me 🦆
I very rarely buy expensive brands maybe once every now and then as a treat for myself apart from that i buy cheap because that's all i can afford to buy these days.
Getting here late. I ❣️ to catch this first thing...
amazing ... as always x
Too kind!
Hi Sam. Well done! Loved the jingle. So retro 😂
I skipped forward of course but your advert seemed very long Sam.

Did anyone else pull the John C Reilly huh face watching Sam butcher the can of spaghetti hoops?

Sainsbury's is quite expensive these days
If you stick to budget over a long period of time, you can afford more vegetables and can have a much better balanced diet.
Tinned tomatoes are a healthy tasty versatile must in any storecupboard.
The dish that you made looked great Sam.

You could have added some Dijon to the bechamel to kick up the flavour a wee bit.
I make my own oat milk but oats have to be gluten free as normal oats gave me stomach ache.
I love these videos!!!!!! 😊
Mate... You used about £20 in butter and oil 😂
You should get a bank loan and do a video on Waitrose 😂
I am now officially jealous. My bowl of vegetable soup now looks very boring.
Maybe you had to fry the spaghetti rings to give it better texture
wow
