Very creative.. I dont think that your even fully aware, of how helpful these videos are, for people who are struggling and just don't have the know how, and you make it so uncomplicated. A bed in heaven reserved.
I appreciate that! Awww xxxx
You've encouraged me to batch cook and meal plan. I used to do this, but stopped and now I have higher food bills and waste. I could start saving quit a bit of money. Good to watch for ideas.
You can do it! Xx
@@TheBudgetFoodie I've added all my items to my Asda basket, and it's already £20 cheaper than it usually is 👍
Hmm, some of these comments are unnecessarily rude. I wonder if the people who leave them are that rude in real life or whether it’s a bit like road rage and people just think they can say what they want/how they want because it’s social media. I can see you read and reply to the comments so I hope you let them just wash over you….
Yeah I just laugh them off, life is too short xx
glad we have freedom of speech still at the moment only just
Hello Rechenda. I've been following and enjoying your channel for a few weeks. A quick tip regarding the spring/green onion growing in your garden; if you had just chopped it off about an inch above the ground it would have regrown for another harvest a few weeks later.
Oh no! :( I’ll remember this for the others! X
i just cut off most of the green to use and keep the entire base of the onions in a glass of cool water and set it in a window and the green will keep growing...just change the water every 2 days.
Risotto does not need any creamy stuff in it - maybe just a knob of butter thrown in before plating it, but if it tastes good how you made it, then it’s a win! You are very creative 😊
Oh no! I did realise xx
You are literally the female version of me, lol. i love the challenge of budget cooking and am thinking of doing my own foody channel. I forage for seasonal ingredients, ive started growing my own. i also sell unwanted stuff on market place. i lost my dad recently and live on my own.
Budgeting allowed me to buy my own place and pay it off, i now work part time and budgeting allows me to still enjoy a social life.
I tend to lean more towards fast cook meals rather than batch cooking. My freezer is filled with veg meat breads etc. I prefer the flexibility and choice.
Do it!! X
This is brilliant .. really gave me some good ideas for budget cooking so thank you 💗💗💗💗
You are so welcome!
Rechenda, you are the best! I was laughing out loud when you casually mentioned about the cat hair and then you said something about you might burn the kitchen down. Hysterical! You really get things done - the risotto looked wonderful! I love shopping at Aldi here in New York. Such good bargains. Thank you again for a great video!
Haha brilliant! Glad I make you smile xx
absolutely loved this whole video, im only a kid still but i find this entertaining haha. your personality is amazing! subscribed and now going to start watching more of your videos
Thank you so much!!
I have to start buying extra canned food to build up my pantry for the winter.I find groceries are more expensive in the winter months.I have done some dehydrating of vegetables also for the winter.
Good tip d
Love what you are trying to achieve x for your quiche bases you can either prick them with a fork or add dried peas to blind bake it. This means it will stop puffing up in the middle x
Oooh thanks for the tip I did wonder why it had puffed up x
Thank you Rechenda (And our Jack)that was great you did a fantastic job for your £10 budget very creative I don't think super glue would not be any good in the oven go to a charity shop you will pick up a flan dish or tin for a couple of quid or a boot sale love your channel have a great safe and happy week .xx
Ahhh ok I’ll dig one out x
Because i’m the dullest person that ever lived, i just ran that receipt through the tesco app to compare prices. Apart from the milk, every single thing was within a penny or two at tesco, the bacon was cheaper at 1.45. There definitely are some things that i make a special trip to Aldi for (crispy fries. £1- something, over £4 at full price in tesco!) but for routine stuff I don’t think it’s worth going out of your way for.
Your meal planning is absolutely next level 🎉
Yes not everything's cheaper I tend to go between Aldi and Tesco they are 2 mins away from each other where I live ❤
Omg great analysis!! X
yeah but the meat quality in aldi is a lot better than tesco.
I always feel like Aldi can be a bit of a false economy, their portion sizes are sometimes smaller than the likes of Sainsburys/Tesco etc
I find this a little misleading, not really £10 with extras from the cupboard. What about breakfast, lunch and drinks..
Started watching your channel and have shared it with my son who has just been housed in a flat and is trying to get everything for it and get a car on the road. So your ideas will be wonderful ❤
That is awesome! Xx
Thankyou so much!! Just shows how cheap you can cook with a little know now ❤
Impressed as always - great going 15 meals! I also have stopped buying magazines so treat myself to a free one from the health food shop or a local free one i pick up at the railway station.
Free mags rock! X
I've personally used aldi & lidl for years, I think it's super value especially for meat.
When I first went years ago some people turned their noses up, but 15 years on they all go there too lol
Yes I think my fav one ever is Lidl x
Been shopping @Aldi and Lidl for best part of 25 years, if you're lucky enough to live where the two are within walking distance of each other (like Droitwich) that's the very best situation as each have pluses and minuses.Aldi do grated mozzarella in large bags (sold in same box as grated cheddar,so sort through) this ,long run,is cheaper.I don't eat meat ,but my kids do and prefer Lidls.
Even if you only have a window box, stuff like Basil/Parsley/is very easy to grow from seed,costs pennies.
I like your channel.
Best Wishes.
Thank you xx glad you enjoying. Aldi and Lidl rock! C
Very entertaining and educational videos, Rechenda (nice name-I’ve never come across it before). You’ve got a lovely voice too! Keep up the excellent work 🤩👊
Thank you!
You are very creative, but it all looks exhausting! Loving your vlogs. X
It was! Having a lonnnng lie down tonight haha z
I love Aldi and would love to see Lidl in Australia 🇦🇺, yes it would give our two dominant supermarkets a good kick in the cash register.😊
I do watch my food prices and plan the menu,.
Great video and look forward to future posts 👍✔️🇦🇺
Thank you and greetings down under x
So they not do the bacon off cuts in Aldi across the pond? Fantastic value and you can get some really good cuts in there, sometimes even gammon steaks
Not that I know of xxx

Book looks awesome, terriffic present, he'll love it, with chocolates? I think this is so well organised for meals, thanks for sharing xx
You are so welcome! X
I wasn’t feeling great tonight and while looking for something to watch I found you ,your video was brilliant I enjoyed watching and really like your style I felt better in no time at all ,you did so well with what you had and I thought your strawberry dessert looked wonderful I hope to see more of your videos
So glad! Feel better soon zz
Nice shop/meal vid! Reminds me a bit of @atomic Shrimp's style and demeanor. Keep it up! 👍
Love shrimp! He is my hero x
wow just subbed to this channel. How very inspiring. Theres no set rules for making food dishes just go for it as you do so well. You have inspired me to experiment with strange and wonderful ingredients. Love your little fruit pie, how cute is that.
Oh how fabulous! Thanks for subscribing and for the love of my little pie xx
The pasta is SO cheap. At Aldi here in France the cheapest pasta is about 1€25 for 500g, cherry tomatoes are 99centimes for 250g - your pack was 330g!
Omg! Xx
It's the same here in Spain. When I watch these videos I can never believe how cheap the UK is. The bacon and eggs alone would have blown most of the budget for me.
😂😂 You are mental! I love ya. Subscribed 😂
Haha thank you!
Grow your own basil! Buy one packet and root them in glass of water, plant once roots show!👍
Great idea!
you could of saved extra as the mushrooms you picked up had a pack at the back with 50% off so you could of saved more still ; they are great for reduced items
Omg I just saw!!! I missed out :(
Is the risotto with basmati rice it doesnt look like arborio or carnoli? So more of a pilaf. It looks lovely. The creaminess of risotto comes from the arborio and the slow stirring in of hot stock plus butter and parmesan but if you don't have it you can use cream cheese 😊
Oooh! Not sure what rice it was just some from the cupboard but great tips thank you xx
@@TheBudgetFoodie short grain rice for risotto but I also make it with whatever I choose!
Ok I need to know where her handbag is from I love it.
I got it from Vinted, but originally Zara x
@@TheBudgetFoodie Thank you.
When you were looking at the dried herbs, basil was the very first one on the shelf 😂
Oh no! 😢 I totally missed it!
Groceries seem so cheap compared to here in Rhode Island. I had to do a stock up haul for the house today and it was $260 at my local Aldi. It should get us through a month.
I prefer Aldi than Lidl I must say
So does my niece x
Well done for supplementing what you already had with a tenners worth of stuff. Really stretched it a long way. What do you reckon Aldi or Lidl for best value?
Hmm close call I think they are about the same xx
@@TheBudgetFoodieI'm lucky enough to have both where I live so I pick and choose the cheapest from each😊
Hello Rechenda, farmfoods does 2 litres of milk for £1 if you have one in the area 🙂
Good to know!
Only found your channel a few days ago and love the videos. Love the batch cooking - as a single person I am always too exhausted to cook when I get home from work. Quick question, how do you reheat these ... can you reheat pasta and risotto?
I whack them in the microwave x
You have helped me view shopping and budgeting differently... Although I can't do the same as I have a 9 year old boy, you've shown me how I can save better on my own food... Previous videos you have made, also shown me I can also stay relatively low carb on a budget too... I'm really enjoying your stuff... You're great 🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧
Oh thanks nomes that means a lot xx hope you and your little nine year old are managing to stay cool in this heat! D
re the broken bowl - I agree with the other comment that super glue might not be safe for oven or for food; but as another solution - I generally just keep the foil tins from the store baked pies from Morrisons and reuse them, and they are fine. I think pies I made in the tin foil tend to have crispier skin too as the metal spreads heat faster than the ceramic (plus they come in different sizes, like pork pie size, quiche size etc so I've got options xD)
Oooh yes
what a good idea keep the foil tins never would have thought of it
I use lid of my pyrex casserole dish for my pies
Hi I've just subscribed. I really love this video and you are brilliant so funny so likable. I look forward to watching your other videos ❤️❤️👍👍
Thank you so much!! Xx
You’re so funny & entertaining to watch, new subscriber here! I watched your get ready with me video, we go to Sheringham every August, heading there next Friday, love it xx
Thank you Leanne! Enjoy Sheringham xx
With the bits you added, it's more than £9+, but still cheap!
I'm not sure about some of the " recipies", but the fact you used up things from your fridge, and adapted to what you had, make this a good informative video.
Very true! And thank you for feedback :)
Your channel came up in my feed as I had been watching similar videos, so this is the first one I've watched. Good to see a local youtuber, very surprised actually!! I don't use that particular Aldi but it's not far away.
After watching other youtuber food challenges I do think yours aren't as accurate as in this one, you aren't exclusively using just the items bought within the amount (cheese, strawberries, chicken etc are all extras)...but it was good to see what you made. And on the Aldi Vs Lidl - locally I stopped using Lidl as the fruit was either very soft and near or past best when I bought it, or didn't last long at all...that was several years ago though so may have changed.
Welcome! Are you in Norwich too? How fab xx
@@TheBudgetFoodie yes, Thorpe area ☺️
Hi I like watching you on RUclips. How about the energy cost ? Sometimes it is cheaper to buy ready made quish which is not very expensive in Lidle. Am I wrong?
Great point!
Strawberry tart looks amazing!
It was!
How long do you keep the 6 portions of spaghetti in the fridge? Or do you freeze some? Xx
I didn’t freeze any xx I kept them on for about 3-4 days
@@TheBudgetFoodie thanks, did any go to waste or do you sometimes eat more than one portion a day? X
They all lasted xx no did one portion a day x
I was a bit worried about you eating the quiche & getting glass shards 😮 New subscriber!
Haha xxx luckily no ceramic daggers in my cheese xx welcome!
Fantastic ❤
Thank you x
I have noticed that some things are cheaper in Aldi. Watch as the fruit and veg may not last as long. The same applies to Lidl.
Ahhh shall do
Just add Parmesan you don’t need creamy things lol xx
Doh! Xx
Guess what, I'm and italian Born in England and I think your ideas are super
Thank you! Grazie Mille
All looks great!😊
Thank you! 😊
20 million cat hairs. I know the feeling
I like you. I will subscribe
Haha perfect! Cat mum life. Thanks for subscribing xx
There was dried basil I think! It was the first one on the shelf!
I know I missed it, I’m an idiot lol! Xx
I recognise that Aldi I shop there! 😁😁
Sprowston road!
Hello from Norway. Sorry for watching this 2 weeks to late but Girl you got some awesome bargains there 😊🎉 28p for spaghetti is absolutely amazing price. Ps love your videos 😊
Never been to Aldi, but do you ever go to ASDA?
Thank you! Yea I love a bit of Asda xx
I shop at Aldi in USA. Never seen used, second hand books for sale at my Aldi but it's a great idea! Also, we don't use the metric system here so didn't understand all the measurements you mentioned. For example our milk is sold in quart, half gallon or gallon containers. I always buy half gallon containers in 1 % as opposed to 2% or whole milk or non-fat types.
Ooooh! Xx
Do not waste lilly obriens choclates for the pud. They r delish and quite a luxurious treat i would put them in the same category as lindt my dad use to buy me a smaller box when he went on his travels and i was left with mum . Px
I ate three before I went to bed with a class of milk xx
@@TheBudgetFoodie they are yummy arent they love how you had the milk as the healthy component to trick the old brain into thinking you were being on top of your healthy eating game lol px
You are a lovely friend.Such a super vlog.more ,morei say.🎉😄
Thank you so much 😊
Jack is gorgeous 😍😍😍😍😍
Aww thank you xx
Aldi does an essentials bacon either smoked or unsmoked, think it's around £1.50.
Oooh great tip x
The font looks like it may be Arial Narrow?
It looks lovely. I eat dog hair in my food 😂
Super! 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
Where did u find the dishes u used for prep?
Amazon! Here is the link: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0CHYQJLPZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
@@TheBudgetFoodie thanks
Excellent work! 🥰 Entertaining video! 😅
Thank you so much 😁
Wow well done!
Thanks darl x
I wouldn't risk superglueing something that touches your food, especially if it gets heated. The fumes or substances that might get transferred to your food ...
I decided against in the end xx
Amazing. Love your video's ❤
Glad you like them!
Meant ro say i do like the extensions however your short hair i think is more reflective of your fun quirky personality px
Aww thank you xx
So entertaining thank you!
No problem!
The way you pronounced Aldi makes it sound like Oldie. Good video. Imo Aldi is slightly classier than Lidl but theyre very much the same
I know oops I’ve had people telling me it’s Al-Dee xxx
Thanks!
Omg thank you xx
Aldi is he best !
66p meal epic!
@@TheBudgetFoodienice vid sexy
Please dont super glue then use in oven again think that would be a disaster some sort of aldehyde is used in the glue
Yes you’re prob right x
Brilliant watch again xx👍
Thank you! X
Amazing! Great to see! Well done!!!💗
Thanks so much!
really like your glasses luv x
Thank you!! Xx
Heya, good food prep ! & making Risotto you dont need to put anything creamy in it. xoxo
Thanks for the tip! Xx
According to Which the prices in Aldi are a little cheaper than Lidl.
Ahhh
God I wish those were aldi prices here in Australia. Ours seem much more expensive
Hello to you down under!
Fab xx
Thank you! X
I would have used the milk😊in the risotto or stock. Really enjoyed the video ❤
Yes mayo was rather thick xx
The amount of stress I endured going into that shop today I compared the prices on the Tesco app. It's safe to say spending an extra £2.01 is so worth saving my sanity and sticking with Tesco!
Omg Tesco was cheaper?! X
@@TheBudgetFoodie sounds like Tesco was £2.01 more but less stressful?
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Nooooo!!!!! You dont put cream in the risotto! Ever… What you need extra is only the wine!
Btw you are good in budgeting… i do the same thing when Im alone 😊
So true!
That font looks like it’s in the helvetica family? But there’s something a bit different that’s telling the otherwise 😅
It’s a gorgeous font! X
I thought you said oldi
Hehe x
Ìt does seem somewhat more economical than Morrisons.
I think it is x
I wouldnt mix mayonaise with hot stuff
In the US I never get meat and Aldi. Lidl meat is fabulous
Ooooh good tip x
Well done - great job …😊
Thank you! 😃
somebody told me Aldi and Lidl were brothers. i had no reason to disbelieve him. does that make me stupid?
Well done on the paddle board sale 🤑
Yay xx
6 days old pasta is not good idea to eat
Only cooked meals I will eat for3 days..
You can freeze to keep fresh
Take out from freezer night before work
Thanks for the tips! X
Tax bill?
Yes unfortunately
Those are most definitely not Aldi prices in Florida USA. Well done!
Ooh really? X
Hey lady r good haul u probably would have paid around the same at lidl but its nice to shake things up a bit . R we no longer making our own spahetti from scratch ??? I always use to think it was a bit of a faff. I bet u r glad u have come to the end of the muscle food chicken breasts lol. I add a little double cream into my risotto. I think adding coleslaw would be a step too far for me. Great you managed to sell the paddle board i didnt realise they were so expensive new i give 3 to the charity shop and 3 wet suits when the girls decided to stop partaking in any water related sports whoops no wonder they were cross lol . What will you eat with the risotto ?? I usually rustle up a salad. Very impressive meals for the week now u just need to sort brekkie and lunch . U will have the tax bill sorted in no time px
Still making pasta but only at weekends as short on time in week xx yes finally the last of the chicken! Hope you been ok lady p xx
@@TheBudgetFoodie just trying to get on top of this thing i call my life its challenging at the minute these kidneys are giving me a run for my money and i am sticking to doing everything in my power to reverse the problem or at least reduce it but i am tired of always having to have my eye on the ball px
