Love your advice on having a 'pennies' meal one day so you can splurge on something nice the next! These are thought processes our ancestors lived and thrived on!

[@ravenrespawns]

I found this channel cuz I'm looking for pennies meals

[@sharonburling2262]

Not too bad! The toad in the whole and the pastie with potato and brie looked delicious! Also you could boil up your chicken bones and make a soup in winter.

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

The pasty was yum! And great tip on the chicken broth x

[@leannejayne3545]

Great video! Thank you! Portion size perfect for our household ❤

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

Ah amazing! Thanks so much 🥰

Thankfully we're both small eaters

Hi Sam, sorry i have been away, so I'm just catching up on your videos. I love your budget shopping meal plan etc. You create great ideas and tasty meals that you thankfully share with us all. You dont have to but you do. I for one am very grateful to you. Ive seen the odd ungrateful coment and i wonder why people are so rude. If they need bigger portions then obviously its going to cost more. My mind boggles xx

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

Really appreciate this. Some of the comments I get do deter me a bit and stop me making videos at times. Think they forget we’re only human and it’s a hobby for me 🥲

[@Fu9280]

Well done Sam ❤

[@lailaunknown3989]

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

I’m confused…it says 56 meals and I assumed you meant 14x4 but the portion per person is so small…1/2 a stuffed pepper per person? 1 skewer per person? You put two on the plate but the ingredients would only allow 1 each for a family of 4?

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

Hi, yes, that’s right 😊 Hadn’t meant the confusion by putting two on a plate, it just looked prettier than having one on there. This is more than enough for my family as 2 are children and would struggle to finish a whole portion anyway. I found with the rice the skewer was the perfect amount for us. That said, there would have been plenty more chicken left from my recipe ideas here to make more for the money. And, as I mentioned in the video, there was lots of the pepper mixture left over too. This could be added on the side if you wanted more. Hope that helps x

[@ravenrespawns]

I actually have an answer for that as well. Nutritionally most people over eat on main meals and forget that snacks are actually highly important. Most meals should be around 400 to 500kcal for an adult woman with 500kcal in snacks

[@thecockneycrafter]

I love all these ideas. I find it cheaper to buy 1 whole chicken & i cut it up myself for my boys (im vegetarian) but they have thighs one day chicken breast another day and just use up through the week.

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

That’s a great idea! I’ve done that myself in the past, depending on what deals are on x

[@Fu9280]

Having a freezer is absolutely essential for bulk buying isn't it

Where are your meal planner sheets from please lovely .. xx

use plumb tom so much taser and all you do is put im the pan cut the top of them and just mush then up you dont getall the green tops in it

[@kathrynbroome5966]

that for a main meal i dotn think its enough on there own my hubby will wonder where his meall is you can do it for that 30 a week but if you had prop sizes you wouldnt do it the mince potato pie looked nice but i think it needs more meat dont no how many your serving the pie for but its a small dish prob serve 2 so sorry i dotn think you can do it for the money you say and eat a hearty meal your doing small meals and sorry the chicken breast wasnt a full one they were small ones and bit of mash and few carrots sorry again there kid portions

[@kathrynbroome5966]

the only meal i can say was for a family size was the toad in the whole

[@Fu9280]

What if you have to do online shopping for a family cos dont have a car and miss all these reduced prices sob 😢

[@CharlotteEastwood-i6s]

I am confused. Mince beef, sausages and an entire chicken would be close to £15 on their own perhaps a bit less so how anyone can eat 56 meals for 30 quid for a family, I honestly don't know. Only two people are in my household, and we would never get 56 meals for 30 quid.

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

Hi! Where do you live? I put the prices and quantity or volume of everything in the info section below so you can see and verify them on the Asda website if you wanted to? x

[@CharlotteEastwood-i6s]

I live in Norfolk in the UK and I shop at Asda all the time. X

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

@@CharlotteEastwood-i6s Ah I see. Hope you can use some of the ideas to help you and see if you can save some money :)

[@leannejayne3545]

She’s bought chicken drumsticks which are super reasonable in price x

[@Fu9280]

Sorry your joking...unless we talk butchers price I'd say For a whole ckn reasonable £5, about £3 for mince (perhaps pork) and sausages say, £2 for a frozen bag? If you abuse the offer prices that is..I'm very savvy that way, but we all have our own budget in mind 👍👍

[@konskaporcja3889]

Hi love. If you fry your onions properly (until brownish) on a pan before putting any additional ingredients it will give you a boost of flavour! try it one day 😊

[@Fu9280]

Does it really
