As cost of living seems to be at an all time high I decided to do a £20 emergency, extreme budget grocery challenge! I managed to create 80 meals for my family of four, for £20!

(This was not a very well balanced week of eating but we had enough food to fill our tummies and we never went to bed hungry!)

We are a homeschooling family of 4 living on one small income! On my channel you'll find loads of tips and tricks as to how we manage to live without going into debt and also save for the future!

These are great tips in these trying times.. I long for a world where ordinary people don't have to worry about saving just to buy enough food to eat, we have more than enough food and resources in the world to feed the world 3 times over, why are we grasping for crumbs while the richest people in the world who control our lives feast. Resist, Rise up and fight back Workers of the world! Demand more!

This was amazing! Well done for turning £20 of food into 80 meals! Just shows what can be done with a bit of creativity! I would say you ate very well. No processed food, and no waste!
Well done. Thanks for sharing.

If you didn't know you were doing a budget challenge, you wouldn't know from the look of the meals. Great job. New subscriber from the US!

Agree with the stock cubes over the pots plus Tinned Plum tomatoes are a but cheaper than chopped tomatoes so I always just chop them in the tin. I would have swapped the fresh cauliflower for a frozen bag of Broccoli and cauliflower and just taken out the cauliflower for the curry then used the Broccoli in one of the Spaghetti dishes.
Great video and nice to see plenty of veg

Such a great video- I’m terrible with making budget friendly meals and things like this are so helpful to me!

When you ran out the stock pots, you could of used the left over skins & peels to make your own stock.

This was great, I think the meals were very wholesome and healthy and well done on getting in as much veg as you did.
If you're wanting to save on stock to use the extra funds for something else, like a block of tofu etc, you can make your own vegetable stock from your veggie scraps, peels etc. Just dump all the odds and ends and peels into a pot with a good amount of water and then let it simmer for a couple of hours and drain into spare empty jars to use for your soups, stews, lentil bolognese etc, essentially a free additional item to use throughout the week. :)
Obviously wash all your produce first before you start and then just save your scraps in a ziplock bag in the freezer until it's full, then boil into a stock or cook in the pressure cooker if you have one. 🍵🍲

Some interesting meals, I particularly liked the look of the cottage pie but I can’t believe you got all those potatoes out of one 2.5kg bag.

Huge congratulations on what you have achieved here !! loads of ideas and tips. Thank you. Have liked and subbed. You deserve more subscribers, keep up the good work and they will come.

New subscriber 😊 Wonderful, delicious and very nutritious meals 😋 It's a Sunday and I always meal plan for the week ahead, so I'm glad your channel popped up! I'm looking forward to watching your other videos 😊

[madcommodore]

Spaghetti saves you buying noodles for stir fry so you get a bit of variety than if you bought pasta shells/tubes etc. Blessing in disguise :)

[Gigi......]

You did so well! I loved this video. Thank you for all the effort you put in ❤️👍🌻

New here! Happy to come across a vegan budget meals channel.

Garlic, celery, & salt & pepper is not bad flavouring instead of a stock, for a soup.

[JoelKennard]

Crazy what’s possible with not a lot of money!

[amacintyre]

Great video. I thought the curry was ingenious! Thanks I'm going to give it a try. Best wishes to you and your family💞

[jeanlowen]

This would be great for people who are relying on the Food Banks. Maybe they could write out and print off some of your recipes to help. Really enjoyed your video, and the fact we don’t have to see you, peel the veg or chop as i find that i just lose interest. Many thanks. xx

[fabiele]

I wish they would sell the wonky type of vegetables also in Germany

[Jessica-]

So great to find UK budget meals and even better that they're vegan family meals. 🌱
This is very much like our weekly menue (myself and 4 kids)
Thanks
