6 Pounds 6 Meals Challenge - With groceries from Sainsbury & Tap Water

[@han_463]

i have no idea how i got here but what an endearing channel. this feels like the early days of youtube in the best way

[@novacascade5005]

I feel the same, very much at odds with the rest of toxicity on this platform.

[@ismellfearonu]

Totally agree.

[@gudetamaya6060]

That’s what I was going to say! This is very wholesome

[@Clockwork.Lemon854]

Great point. Oddly endearing watching this.

[@spacechannelfiver]

she's going to blow up in a big way if the content keeps coming. reminds me somewhat of yuka chan

[@zakbrown9256]

This content is honestly what youtube is all about, I remember it back in like 2008 it had a nicer community feel, not just like "ttop ten things that no one cares about" clickbait nonsense! Excellent stuff Mole, keep going!

[@JBMINIATURES]

Atomic Shrimp helped me through a rough patch his videos were so wholesome and kind. I'm glad you found him too and he has influenced you to do this challenge. What yummy food you made on such a tiny budget.

[@postRMO]

Same man, have a lot of love for him- and happy to find another nice channel doing the same, and know that these people have made others feel better.

[@sotonrich]

I love atomic shrimp, he’s a cool dude!

[@lewke1059]

atomic shrimp is great

[@lulububs]

Is that how this popped in my feed? Atomic shrimp 🍤.

[@oliverbeggs208]

Atomic shrimp ftw

[@kafka420uk]

this channel so wholesome, wish you all the best mole

[@lilian.embucgo]

I’m a vegetarian so I couldn’t do the bacon hack, but as a way of completing this challenge properly without buying or already having oil, that’s genius.

[@ontoverse]

Sesame seeds (or paste) works, if you can find them on budget.

[@whosaidthat4299]

Tofu thin sliced in soy sauce baked or little oil.

[@SKAREKROW_13]

So sorry to hear you lost your job! Awesome video, keep em coming!!!

[@rez9328]

I don't know why the algorithm blessed me with this channel but I absolutely love it! Please keep the videos coming little mole!

You are a very good person.hope you are doing ok .this life needs more beautiful people like you . Thank you

[@TheRealCameron79]

Nice of you to give credit to Mr Atomic Shrimp :) Cool video! I suggest shopping at Aldi or Lidl for your next challenge, theyre often much cheaper. I also feel like it would be fair to say cooking oil and things like salt and pepper are not included in the challenge. I hope you try another cooking challenge! You could even try going to M&S or Waitrose with a similar budget and see how you get on!

[@IamJINCHI.]

Not necessarily, Aldi is good for certain things but a lot of it is just as expensive if not more so in some cases. The meat and stuff like that for example. Better off going to home bargains or somewhere. Everything is relatively cheap and they also regularly either have stuff on reduced going out of date, or they will reduce the price of something for reasons like the box is bent. It might only be 30p but 30p off a 90p item is good shtuff. Edit: Home Bargains, Quality Discounts, B&M for example work out trading deals with specific brands and non-exclusive brands. So you'll find top tier items at half the price, as well as bulk bought in to sell for lower. Dr Pepper 2L is 2 for £3, FOXs half coated biscuits are 79p-£1, whereas normally they're closer to £3 in Tesco. So take that and apply it to the veg etc and you can see how different the price range is. Those big Mccain french fry bags are £1.69, Tesco they're £4something

[@TheRealCameron79]

@@IamJINCHI. very true :)

[@Aesthetikn]

@@IamJINCHI.The two for £3 for 2L of a soft drink have been at the Tesco near me for more than a year with clubcard.

[@ImmortalSquidge]

Nice! Sainsburys usually starts to put out their reduced yellow labels at 5pm. I like to get their small baguettes on my way home, which can be about 40p when reduced.

[@Imalittlemole]

@@ImmortalSquidge wow! That's good to know!!

[@PiousMoltar]

Nice cacodemon

[@moonshapedabsolution]

Nice one I didn't know that

[@ryuuyuzo]

i see

[@richardgoddard37]

If you time it right, they go round a second time and reduce things again just to get rid of them.

[@Cruickyz]

this woman needs to be protected at all costs. absolutely lovely.

[@alexr2892]

Best of luck with finding a new job! I thought how you made the apple pie was very creative.

[@Imalittlemole]

Thank you;>>>

[@rjwright86]

Like many others I got recommended your channel from your Solo Pilgrimage and subbed straight away - wholesome and chill videos :) just what I need after a long day. Sorry to hear you lost your job - I’m sure it’ll all work out. Looking forward to whatever you have coming up.

[@pinklemonade6597]

Thank you again KZbin wizards for putting another gem on my explore page! You have such a calming vibe and it’s cool to see someone doing this challenge and actually taking it seriously! Also made me realise i could definitely be spending smarter

[@rezyousuf4954]

So nice to see this sweetheart eating out of a pot like I do! Nice to see also unpretentious cook. Love you!

[@IamJINCHI.]

''It's very chicken... And very lettuce'' Dang it that review sold me, making a lettuce wrap tonight 😂

[@Imalittlemole]

Add some nice sauce so more flavorful:∆

[@CittizinKane]

YT is healing, reminds me of classic YT, good to see some original stuff/varied material covered

[@blinddarm8478]

Oh god. I just binged ALL of your videos and i'm in love. The pilgrimage to camebridge was my favorite. I'm so incredibly parasocial rn. Great personality and great content. Keep it up!

[@FlashPan73]

Good tips. Please though....move the electical cable that powes your hot plate/hob. Looks like heat is already melting it and that is 100% not good for more reasons than 1.

[@nefaraiu]

i think because it’s so short and the socket is above the hobs, it would be hard to move it anywhere 😥 maybe there a way you can cover it though

[@postRMO]

I think after spending so long watching Atomic shrimp- youtube has pointed me to you. I really appreciate how calm and wholesome you are- its inspiring. Theres something about doing the most with the least as well.

[@zachmerritt4661]

Not sure why the Almighty algorithm brought me here, what a gem of a channel.

[@lardasrse]

Yeh random but sometimes the tube gets it right 😅

[@Joe-ox]

Really enjoyed the laid-back style of this video! Great budget cooking tips too!

[@nailaseale1339]

It's so cool too see you actually make 6 filling meals I initially thought it wouldn't be possible to get much but it's cool to see you were able to get filling ingredients

[@BrianM_3rd]

Your energy is incredible! This channel is definitely going to the moon.

[@pocaluneksmierci]

I’m a Pole living in UK/London for almost 20 years and this Poland mug made me smile 🥲🫶

[@TheChunder3]

There’s something very wholesome about you and your videos. I think you are going to do very well with your channel. Good fortune.

[@seeriktus]

Cooking bacon fried, stir rice in + spices. Cheapest scoff ever, but I wouldn't do it forever! Small cans of sardines also come with their own fishy oil, and you can use that as free flavouring for dishes. And learning how to make hash browns with potatos+carrots+curry powder is very cheap and tasty - - SECRET TIP: Grate them into a cheesecloth then squeeze out alllll of the water, before frying, then squash them onto the frying pan. Let them get crispy with a little frying oil.

[@ozzythecats]

One and a half videos in to your library , thinking I've discovered the perfect youtuber and THEN the unleash the orange cat!!

[@salvatoregravino8859]

Thanks for shoving the true on how really peoples live nowadays.That food looks nice and we might apprecciate and feel blessed to have it a little bit.

[@Yattayatta]

A little mole inspired by an atomic shrimp cooks on a budget, we live in a crazy world! Great video!

[@Pattoe]

An Asian Supermarket one would be really interesting. Maybe Atomic Shrimp could do some cultural exchange style videos with you like he has done with Babatunde. It does seem like Mike appreciates Asian food but would benefit from a mentor in that area. Would also love to see you try foraging but be careful, of course.

[@Imalittlemole]

Hahaha when my channel become bigger hopefully there can be a little collabe haha I'm a big fan😂

[@levijosephcreates]

Am here as a result of the algorithm, sorry you lost your job although there's others out there, good luck with that. Great to see UK content, cheers for the passing on some of your positivity also, much appreciated.

[@dcdx8966]

Like many, I’ve randomly come across this channel. I’ve watched two videos and I’m already a massive fan. Subscribed. You’re a legend.

[@_pianoN_]

i too have no idea why this channel was recommended to me by youtube! BUT im glad it did. you have a new sub. possibly the most innocent and wholesome video ive watched on this platform.

[@Wilczewskimauricio]

I forgot to tell you. Your opening is so magical. Everytime I watch, found my self smiling😅 It does have this magical vibes. Thank you and much respect

[@303shaunl]

I'm so pleased this popped on my feed. That's a sub. Very wholesome. Can't believe you finished that whole pot of stew!!

[@dberry1973]

Sorry you lost your job! but thank you for the video! I will have to watch more of your videos now!!

[@redcurlvegan]

Just discovered you randomly in my youtube suggestions - you're refreshing and enjoyable to watch, please make more of these budget food videos 🙏💚

[@damidoxgaming3891]

I love your adventures Mole, can't wait to see more of your videos, they are a breath of fresh air comparing to a lot of other content on YT, keep up the amazing work.

[@Moodiac67]

I love your little smiles when you taste the food, and think I might be hooked on this channel. All the best!

[@JamieBayliss]

Your intro brought a massive smile on my face. Very glad I found this channel!

[@superandz]

You need a stock cube in the stew, sugar in the apple 🍎 butter and pepper in the mash ❤

[@ClericChris]

@18:46 "It's very chicken and very lettuce". That was WAY funnier than it should be. Don't be disappointed. It would be scary if it tasted like anything not chicken and lettuce.

[@maltnmetal4085]

Hello Mole , your channel just popped up today out of nowhere . Perhaps it's because I'm a absolute massive Japanese female rock/metal music fan and Asian music and love learning about the culture . I have been out of work for 6 months but beings I'm older and worked for 45 years I love the me time :) . Your 6 meals you have cooked are what my mum and grandmother used to call " good old fashioned cooking ". Basic food with no Additives and all natural but very tasty and yummy . I too like cooking and country walking , when I saw you walking on the road at night it made me very worried for your safety , this happened to me a few months ago ( never again ) . If you do a long walk again always carry a water pouch , energy bars and a basic first aid kit , a reflective band around your body and walk on the side of on coming traffic . I will binge watch your other videos now :) . keep up the good work

[@emerild6513]

[@pek5117]

Great work. I love budget videos, Mike (Atomic Shrimp) is very good at it. Food here is so expensive most of these items arnt possible. Cheapest meat would be $6-8. Lettuce would be a few dollars, bacon probably $6. I'm glad you made the bone broth. Sorry to hear you lost your job. I'll keep following. Getting condiment packs is very handy, foraging might be difficult in winter. With any spare cash try a build up a lil pantry. Thanks for the video.

[@bubbybubbybubbyy]

This found me at the right time! Towards the end of my uni terms my budget is super tight so I’ll be following this, thank you so much for sharing! :)

[@Anonymous_Prole]

Reminds me of when I lived in Zhengzhou ten years ago and tried to live off 10 Renminbi for a week. Surprisingly I did manage it by living off millet porridge, sesame oil and 'yacai'.

[@Imalittlemole]

10 rmb a week is insane!

[@imthegoat94]

I’m not sure why you popped up in my feed, but I’m glad you did. You are adorable

[@Kelvostrass]

From Aldi you can get the following: 1kg Chick drumsticks ~£2.00 1kg Rice ~£0.80 6x Eggs ~£1 That's £3.80 for all your carbs and protein needs - That can make 6 small meals You can spend more to add variety, seasoning, condiments, vegetables etc. but the core of what you need is very cheap - it just gets very boring over time :P also, I can get lazy. Tonight I made a curry & rice w/ chicken thighs, still have lots left over.

[@Imalittlemole]

I'll check out Aldi or Lidl soon!

[@Stinkybassline]

Please do more of these, really enjoyed this!
