How to live on £1 a day | extreme food challenge UK | DAY 1

Join me on a little challenge to attempt to live on £1 a day, feeding one person.

Three meals a day for £1.

Can it be done?

That’s £7 for an entire week.

Is it possible to eat super cheap whilst eating amazing meals?

Day one I head to big Tesco, shop, bring home my haul and start meal prepping.

Well done! Very inventive. In 2022, to get rid of the last of my debt, I set myself the challenge of living on £5 per week. For most of the year I suceeded and so the debt was gone. I also cooked on a stove top and used the oven only once per week to cut down on the electricity useage. Keep going - btw flatbreads are a life saver!

You are obviously a natural cook who knows how to make the basics from scratch. A skill which many of us, me included, don’t have but saves so much money! Really enjoy your videos they give much inspiration 😊

I don't know how you come up with your ideas! Super creative! I've been on my budget journey since March now and I've paid off over 1k of debt already (I'm on a super low income) so really proud of that... I'd love to save a bit more on food shop my cooking creativity is a zero 😂

As someone who is an unconfident cook, on a mission to become more comfortable in the kitchen, this has really inspired me, honestly. It's the thinking outside the box bit that I don't seem to naturally have.. piecing things together to make a meal. You have it in spades and I can really learn something from your videos. Thank you!!

I’m very very impressed. Your Mum taught you well!! You have inspired me!

[ruthie]

And so you should be proud of yourself. Absolutely amazing, all food is substantial and filling and healthy! Well done 👏 👏👏

You could probably get 2-3 egg fried rice with carrot, spring onion and paprika chicken seasoning and the have banana wrapped in flatbread for breakfast.A fabulous effort as usual.

Really impressive that you made so many different things for the budget! Looking forward to the next video xx

Absolutely brilliant ❤ well done. For £10 enabling you to buy a small quantity of meat and some blackberries foraged from local hedgerows in July, dandelions picked in the garden for both tea and essential vitamins in the leaves, a visit to any local allotment will likely generate a few freebies to take home too.
Brilliant video !

This is the first budget video thats actually inspirational. Whilst Id need fair more veg vs no flour or rice, the inginuity of your meals is fantastic.

[AmandaLaggan]

Love seeing your channel grow, and your budgeting skills too! Wasnt sure you had enough food to last you the week when I saw your shop but after seeing that cookathon i am sure you will smash it! Thanks for the inspiration x

[nataliamach]

You seem like such a lovely person. I am really fed up with the trying too hard to look perfect on camera type. I love your not giving a flying f* attitude. So refreshing.

[stephaniegarrett]

Most impressive.. Good culinary skills make a massive difference. Sadly school cookery education doesn't support cooking from scratch.

[jeanlowen]

you can make good pastry from your flour and lard too! You can also make pancakes with the flour egg and milk. good for breakfast!

[beebenton]

Absolutely brilliant - take my hat off to you, well done, wouldn’t have thought it possible.😊

[daniellehart]

Rechenda - Good Going - very impressed! Your video’s always entertain and your food looks amazing! Look how many new subscribers you have!

[Gemsurbangarden]

This is amazing! Genuinely cannot believe it. You’ve inspired me big time

[lesleyvivien]

Proud of yourself? So you should be! I am in awe of your culinary knowledge, skills and creativity.
I was also amused by how far Tesco will go to disguise its identity. T E Stockwell, Grower’s Harvest and Creamfields Dairy are all Tesco brands.
