£15 weekly food shop for one person at Morrisons…and another failed tiramisu 😭

What I bought from Morrisons this week

[@katherinemonds292]

I really recommend watching a video on whisking egg whites to a hard peak. It opens up many new things you can make such as homemade swiss roll, meringue shells and more!! It's worth learning this skills. I also recommend you using an electric whisk for this

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Oooh great ideas!

[@spenmargaret]

Hi Rechenda I came across your channel and it has helped me to budget and be brave enough to try making home made breads pasta and putting meal ideas together ❤️ So thankyou 😊. I consider you my new freind xxx

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Oh thank you and welcome xx

[@paulamartin6049]

Hey ladry r it was a fail because you didnt beat the egg whitw enough you whisked them ideally u need to use an electric hand mixture in high they must be stiff enough so u can turn the bowl upside down and they don't spill out only then do u fold them gentle into the other ingredients. Maybe it will be 3rd time lucky lol px

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Oh no!!! That explains it x

[@lin90210]

Your hair looks great. A change is go sometimes :) sorry to hear you lost your Mum P.S the bowl and utensils must be free from grease before you whisk egg whites otherwise they will never become stiff peaks with any signs of yoke or grease on surfaces. Acid helps too. So a touch of vinegar or cream of tartar

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Oooh great tips x

[@veracalvin6858]

New to your channel, been binging your videos! I'm jealous, here in the US, there is truly nowhere I could find your prices. Probably no one could anywhere here. But you are inspiring me to stretch what I have and concentrate on ways to do better. I'd love to see the weekly shop for the cat!

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Glad you like them! Welcome! Little Jack survives on dry cat food and the odd bit of cooked meat or fish when I have it x and dreamies x

[@s.ga21]

I would recommend next time you make pizza , put the basil on the pizza once the pizza is cooked.(so it does not get brown, and the flavour remains like fresh basil) Same with the drizzle of olive oil. Greetings from Spain!

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thanks for the tip! Yea the basil was burnt to a crisp lol xx

[@rebeccadutoit3803]

Can leave meat in the freezer indefinitely, providing it hasn't defrosted in said freezer. Its just the quality will be different, freezer burn ECT. But it's perfectly safe so long as cooked thoroughly. Love the hair. X

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thanks for the info! And compliment xx

[@101-ss1]

BBC Good Food, Best Ever Tiramisu. I use that recipe and it comes out perfect every time. Double cream whisked up and added to the mascarpone, and it's nice and thick, no eggs! Please try this one, I promise it will come out perfect. 😊

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Omg I will try sounds better xx

[@gailgulliver8970]

Thank you Rechenda I do like your new look but I liked the other I always thought you looked like a French model with your dark hair and glasses ..sad news about the tiramisu but now you know about the egg whites we haven’t seen our Jack it’s the rain cats don’t like getting wet .lol..well have a great week .xx

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Ooh French model I like that! Xx

[@BigGirlBudgets-Charlotte]

I love the Italian themed food choices 😋 Ps I used Olio since your £7 weekly shop video. Super happy 😊

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Oooh fab xx

[@mandywilliams2033]

Loving the hair it makes you look younger xx

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you so much x

[@judithmorganjudyteen]

Our Christmas turkey was a 'cook from frozen' last time from Iceland and it was perfect. I was surprised. 😂

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

I will have to give that a go! X

[@cakeypigg4040]

Hi there. It was nice to hang out while you cooked and shopped, your videos are very entertaining, so thanks for that. Just a note about whipping egg whites for the tiramusu. Like some of your other commenters said - you need to whip them until they form a stiff foam. That's because whipping hard denatures the protein (changes the structure of the protein) in the egg in same way that cooking changes the protein. So no amount of leaving it to set will work. That's going to be tricky to achieve without an electric whisk i'm afraid.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Ahhh makes sense xxx

[@totallyaddicted2mac]

The bananas should be stored separately as they emit a gas that makes other food go off quicker x

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Omg I didn’t know this! Eek!!. Xx

[@Ruth58969]

I love your hair. xx

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you Ruth x

[@helenshack2838]

Forget the egg white part assembly and just use whipped crème to the coffee mixture. That will be an easy and good tasty equivalent to your quasi tiramisu.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Great idea!!

[@wendymcgurty2255]

Have you tried using Pitts bread as a pizza base..they work really well..ideal for your yellow sticker bargain ones..xx

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

No I’ve not but that’s a fab idea!

[@pennyshauver9786]

The extensions look great

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you!

[@nancyrahif8442]

The hair looks gorgeous and suits you very well. It's absolutely fine to cook any food from frozen and technically any meat can live forever in a freezer but according to health and safety standards, they're best to be consumed within 9-12 months. You really do need electric beaters to get the right consistency for the tiramisu custard, it's very difficult to get to this thickness with a regular whisk ♥

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

The whisk was a definite fail lol xx ok fab good to know! Xx

[@CharleyB60]

Get yourself an electric hand whisk, I’ve had one from Tesco for about £5 10 years ago and it’s still perfect. Love the hair it suits you. Great food haul, I am same with clothes & household stuff I either buy cheapest, or bargains on the best stuff lol. Lidl have 2 little tiramisu for £1.10.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

I am straight down to Lidl for this tiramisu lol! I totally need a proper whisk xx

[@jamieeverall1251]

I love love love your hair long you look beautiful it really suits you xx

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you so much!!

[@Jaylobee]

Love the hair! The tiramisu not so much 😔😂

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

😂😂❤️❤️

[@jessy5828]

I absolutely love your hair. You look gourgeous

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you so much!!

[@nilecrocodileRobyn]

You look so young with the longer hair but then you look young for your age anyway. I agree Jack is adorable 🥰

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Oh thank you! Xxx

[@GinaBertolo]

Your videos are so much fun! I admire your style - your hair looks great both long and short. With the chicken, let it thaw for a day in the refrigerator. I put mine in a zip lock bag with some seasoning and allow it to marinate for a day or two. Then pop it in the oven and it will come out perfect. You can use it in salads or eat it by itself. I say give up on the tiramisu and buy one in the store - it looks like too much fuss. Keep up the good work; your videos are the best!!!!!

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Oh thank you! Xx

[@paulamartin6049]

I have used meat from the freezer after 1 year so long as its well packaged and hasnt got any freezer burn . Ihave never been ill yet px

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Ok good xx

[@gina9523]

I make Tiramasu without eggs, whipped cream and plenty of booze 👍

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Sounds great!

[@daniellehart487]

Hair looks great. Lovely video again - like the quirky phrases and questions? Putting bananas with citrus makes them ripen faster and spot, you may wish to separate them!

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you ! Will move my bananas xxxx

[@joshow926]

The posh, cheap pizza looks great! I often do regular store brand pizza but never the cheaper ones. Might give one a go and add my own topping, too. And my shop sometimes does look like yours - posh, regular and yellow ticket all at once! 😂 The hair is different but nice! I've had very short hair for a few years and have recently been thinking about getting a wig. Sometimes it's nice to change things up a bit. :)

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Do it! On both xx

[@sallylouise9826]

I’m loving your new hair extensions they really suit you and sorry about the tiramisu hopefully it will work out next time and the pizza looked lovely xx

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you Sally the pizza was yum xx

[@Jacko580]

Your hair looks stunning ❤ that posh pizza looks delish😋

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you 😋

[@catevansartist]

Nice job with the shopping. Hubby and I often get 2 Co-op surprise grocery bags thru the Too Good To Go app £6.58 total often for £40-45 worth of groceries that will last us the week. We spend more on food for our 3 cats (two of whom are on special diets, including Arthur) than we do on ourselves. 😹

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Oh wow! That’s really good budgeting x

[@catevansartist]

@@BudgetFoodieUK aw bless you. Honestly, this way of shopping has been a life-saver for hubby and I. We are both self-employed and everything is getting so expensive these days, whether petrol for hubby who needs to travel in his work as a piano tuner, and for us both for cost of materials, cat care for three and all the household expenses. Honestly, I don't know what we'd do if we weren't savvy but there's always more ways of saving to be made. Xx

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Wow piano tuner! X

[@catevansartist]

@@BudgetFoodieUK yes - he tunes and repairs and I write and play! 🎶🎶

[@adelejennings1640]

Maybe a hand electric whisk would help with baking your own?? Carboot purchase?? Love your uploads. Like the hair. Nice to change it up now and then 😊like your saving uploads encouraging me to save too 😮😅 ❤ please keep up the uploads. Like the short ones and longer ones too. Can you do any clothes uploads? Capsule wardrobe ideas needed. Obviously saving money helps too , please send help 😂❤

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Yes defo need to order one! Xx

[@spenmargaret]

Love the hair BTW ❤❤

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you!

[@paulamccarthy8197]

I’ve never been to Italy but I’d love to go I’ve been to other countries but I have a long bucket list of destinations I’d like to go to. You can buy a cheap hand mixer for about £8 Argos/ supermarkets etc love tiramisu but yeah mix until eggs are like thicker and peaked. I’d prefer your hair longer than you normally have it but shorter than the extensions, you suit shorter hair but it’s nice. I get a mixed bag of shopping too :) 😻

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

I will get a mixer! X

[@helenwood1000]

The long hair suits you. A change is always a good thing. We were in Norfolk in a holiday let last week, (near Long Stratton) that storm was epic ❤️

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Ooh long Stratton not from me! Hope you had a lovely time xx

[@helenwood1000]

@@BudgetFoodieUK we did Ruchenda, we got our shopping from ‘big Tesco’, if you’d have seen the weird look I got from my husband when I called it that, he doesn’t understand us does he 🤣🤣🤣

[@datamusic4923]

Yellow tickets allow budget to buy posh bits :)

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

exactly! X

[@muttersmenu2422]

Wow, you saved a lot of money 💴, great 😊 Tiramisu is not my favourably dessert but those donuts 🍩 looked delicious Fun video

Thank you!

[@jacquespoulemer]

Dear Friend, (and Hi Jack) - I think I see your eggwhite problem right away. If you look at the huge pic of the egg white bowl at 2:43 minutes an look in the upper right hand corner there is a small dot of yolk. Julia Child drilled into my head that egg whites cannot contain even the tiniest bit of yolk, or they wont mount up properly. The yolk can be removed using the egg shell. So don't loose heart, this can happen to anyone. I don't know if you tried it again. but I think you should give it a go. The general rules for frozen food is meat is good up to 6 months and everything else for a year. (use your nose if it still smells good I trust that, if not toss it) As for cooking frozen chicken, it will NEVER cook deep down inside. You have to defrost it thoroughly (leave it in the fridge over night is the safest).Jacques Mexico

[@jacquespoulemer]

I love mixing high and low foods (posh and cheap as chips) ...you cooked the chicken to death so it's probably fine. The general freezer rules are 6 months for meats and a year for most other things.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Ooohhh! Makes sense xx

[@paulamartin6049]

No its ok to cook chicken from.frozen.it just takes a bit longer to cook. Px

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Ok xx

[@dylanbrownie]

Just spent £71 for a Sainsbury's delivery. Like you, just for myself, should keep me going for at least 3 weeks, probably more.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Nice one! X

[@laurahodgson6531]

4 to 5 months in the freezer is fine. I've eaten mince and sausages that have been in there for over a year. Freezer food is indefinitely safe, the taste and texture will suffer over time though.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Ahhh makes sense xx

[@mechtechmechanical1571]

You are lucky to get any reductions in Morrisons they don't have a lot of them when I go in. I go to a lot more places now for reductions.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

I know usually the yellow tickets are non existent x

[@emmawright4466]

Hi I love watching your videos as it inspires me to eat well as a singleton and experiment with my sense of style as I’m a charity shop and second hand queen . Have you seen Delia Smith’s book “How to Cheat”, as it full of recipes using both convenience and fresh food? I think she would approve of your pizza!

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Ooh be great to get the seal of approval from delia!! Will check out that book x

[@Amanda-pv9kz]

First, you started wearing colors that weren't green, black, white or cheetah-print. Now you've got long hair. If it weren't for Jack, I wouldn't recognize you! LOL JK

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

I know right?!! lol xxx

[@gillianhope7742]

Great vlog , I buy all posh stuff in flash sales from Ocado , 😂

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Love that! X

[@victoriart95]

I saw a little bit of egg yolk in your whites so they will never whisk. You also have to make sure there is zero grease on any utensils or bowls.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Ooooh I didn’t know this x

[@paulamartin6049]

Just finished watching pizza looked lovely. Next tomime u cook chicken wrap it in tin foil it will keep it moist so it doesnt dry out pox

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

That is a fab tip x

[@paulamartin6049]

The tiramisu u just made is fibe to eat maybe put it in a glass and drink as a milkshake px

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Will try xx

hi to make tiramisu you need mascarpone and only that kind of cream , eggs ,sugar, coffee ,it's not difficult if you have the correct ingredients ,i'm sur you can do it easely

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

I shall try

[@sunshining_inthe_hebrides4030]

You need to invest in an electric hand whisk if you’re not strong enough to whisk with a fork ..I think mine cost £12pizza looks good

Just bake this „liquid tiramisu“ and you will get a souflee or a kind of cheesecake

Next time you will get your tiramisu right. You a mixer, not just a whisker. And use a square dish...it is easier to arrange them

You will definitely make yourself ill cooking chicken from frozen be careful x
