I Bought the MOST EXPENSIVE Item in Every Aisle at the Supermarket

I thought it would be fun to go to the supermarket and buy the most expensive item down every aisle - then see what we could make with them, if anything!

Here's a video idea, one shop the cheapest items from a prepared shopping list, such as value/basics beans, the cheapest fruit and veg, cheap chicken. The next shop the same items but the most expensive organic versions and see if the extra spend is really worth it.

Organic broccoli is grass fed and grows up roaming free with the other broccoli..

How about a video featuring the most luxurious version of things? E.g. the most luxurious version of chips, cheese, ham, pate, bread, ice-cream, cake, pizza, lasagna, salad, etc etc.

Fage is great if you’re someone eating protein for a reason. I’m a competitive powerlifter so eat a fair whack of meat. 300g of fage 0% with a scoop of protein mixed in and a load of frozen raspberries and oats is a very stomach friendly way for me to get in 50g of protein, good carbs and plenty of fibre while leaving me able to eat again fairly soon. Most other yogurts don’t have the same macronutrient breakdown.

This was a really cool challenge idea, and you really committed to it with the green stuff and bovril haha!

[WaynesPokeWorld]

Bovril is a great hot drink over winter. It’s got vitamin B, collagen & other minerals. It’s nice when it’s Baltic outdoors ❤️

I missed Carolina's input and hope she enjoyed some of the goodies. Your bank balance will be dented now. 😊

You broke my heart by de-shelling those prawns. If you cook them in their shells, they're so much more flavourful! Cook them simply on a grill and serve with a bit of garlic butter. Awesome!

[mahow]

Fage is actually Greek yoghurt (although they're based in Luxembourg now so technically not any more) whereas other brands are "Greek Style" which is why it's more expensive.

I'd just whizz up a load of rice to make rice flour. So many things can use it for, rice tortillas, rice chips, cakes, I use it to make rice paper for spring rolls.

Literally as soon as I opened YouTube this is uploaded. Nice one!

[jeansmith]

Oh I would want a month's shopping for that!!! Some things definitely over priced, such as the cake, chocolates and yoghurt 🙄 - well done for honest reviewing. Not much I would buy from that, but might try the ribs as a treat, they did look good.

I really liked this change of pace. Sometimes, the best ingredients are something to splurge on, if you can.

I’m currently living in a hotel for a week and I’d be interested to see you do a challenge either £10 or £20 any shops you like but you can only use a kettle no fridge no freezer and everything has to be bought at once

Hello Sam and Carolina (you just keep yourself off camera as much as you want, keep us all guessing! ) Milk freezes perfectly well unless it's some weird non homogenized fracas. It looks like your gearing up for a huge Costco or Ralph's Discount Warehouse shop (hint hint). Costco will save you money. Ralph's will save you tons more.
I prefer redheads hehehe. The only time we get Belgian Biscuits in Mexico it's around Xmas. After the first purchase we get them every year....YUM
We get our Lint for free in the dryer. (drumroll please) The green guk would probably have been better mixed into the Atlantic. ....fire burn and caluldron Bubble.... hehehe
If I'm not mistaken organic veg doesn't use any pesticides or mass produced fertilizers. Rather animal and vegetable compost.
Gluten Free Tortilla is merely Corn! Nothing to write home to Iztaccihuatl about. (our local romeo & juliet story. she's a mountain now)
Peanut and or Sesame sauce is da Bomb! Jim Mexico

Mix it with fage yogurt, frozen fruit and a spoon of honey

Rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner 😂

Organic is grown without pesticides, herbicides etc. oats are the only thing I get organic cause they end up having a particularly high amount of pesticide in them. Organic animal produce can't be given antibiotics which are normally provided to animals as standard as "preventative" measures but they also stimulate growth.

The Naturya powder is for smoothies and shakes. You can use it in soups and other dishes too to add some nutrition.

Organic food is grown with natural things such as poop as fertiliser. Non organic food may or may not use chemical fertilisers and pesticides.


I am surprised you didn't pick up a jar of Manuka honey, that stuff is really expensive.
