7 DINNERS FOR $100 CHALLENGE | ALDI BUDGET FAMILY MEALS AUSTRALIA

[@joolzmac1]

Nice to see an Aussie meal challenge! Prices are through the roof so if you can help and encourage someone to cook some cheaper, nutritious meals, that is fantastic!

[@FrugalFunMum]

Thanks so much

[@FrugalFunMum]

Thanks for watching everyone x This was a good challenge for us we are meat eaters so going to feature those a lot

[@lisas5913]

A good tip to make mince go further, mix with canned lentils

[@FrugalFunMum]

It is a very good tip unfortunately we are not fans of any legumes, split peas, broad beans, lentils, chick peas I could go on and on - but it's a not from us LOL

[@vanessacaltabiano9775]

I use rolled oats. Less detectable by my children 😂❤️

[@dianecuthbertson2686]

Omg both the potato and cauliflower bake are beautiful!

[@FrugalFunMum]

I'm keen to try it soon!

[@belindafirley]

[@georgiamcintosh]

I absolutely enjoy all your videos! It has helped me save a heap on groceries, thank you for your amazing tips to shopping. You're amazing, keep up the great work.

[@FrugalFunMum]

Thank you so much for telling me I had someone tell me that my meals are expensive and unrealistic I know I shouldn’t take it personally but it just hits hard

[@georgiamcintosh]

@@FrugalFunMum That's terrible! They don't know how much of a help you've been to people who are struggling, and with your tips, I'm able to put a hot meal on the table for my children. So thank you!

[@FrugalFunMum]

@@georgiamcintosh thanks so much I think I’m easy to follow and realistic people just be crazy ha ha

[@jimyoung194620]

Loved your video. My favourite was the casserole. And great to see what was left over. Lovely to see an Australian video. 💕🇦🇺

[@FrugalFunMum]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@aussiemumof2253]

Great video! Produce is really crappy and expensive here in victoria. So many empty shelves as well making shopping a real challenge sometimes just trying to get the basics.

[@FrugalFunMum]

Thanks yeah so many things affecting food

[@SB-lx4rd]

Love the Aldi sour cream Affordable in my town and award winning

[@FrugalFunMum]

Yes it's only 1c cheaper than coles but still it's great to get everything

[@rebeccaturner4988]

I love the fact that u include the dinner alternative for your son. Chicken nuggets and breaded chicken are my easy food options as a 34 year old. Great to see the leftovers too.

[@FrugalFunMum]

Thanks x

[@jpez6606]

Love this video, well done 😊

[@FrugalFunMum]

Thanks so much x

[@traceycosta9196]

Awesome challenge and all looks great. The chicken pieces you cooked in a oven bag, does it make a diff to just open baking on an oven tray. Love quiche but inky ever used milk or some cream, does the sour cream make any difference? ❤❤

[@FrugalFunMum]

I don’t know I just cook it like that as a quiche Lorraine uses both cream and sour cream so I only ever use one

[@SB-lx4rd]

You do a great job stretching meat!

[@FrugalFunMum]

Thanks could have added the potato into the stew and still done mash but didn't want to bore everyone LOL. Could have added more carrots and paid for a pumpkin now that I see I'm under budget but oh well!

[@aerivoa]

What do you mean the cauliflower is expensive? That is literally so cheap compared to other places, stop being a cheapskate and actually feed your family vegetables!

[@FrugalFunMum]

My local fruit and veg shop is where I usually buy a lot of stuff as it has great prices! When they sell cauliflower for $3 for a massive head and often seconds at great prices. I know you are new here so I'll repeat what I've said 200 times before. My family have a lot of sensory and texture need when it comes to food due to Autism, ADHD and other likes and dislikes. There isn't a lot of variety that they enjoy so I'm not going to feed them food 'just for the sake of it' so I cook the things I know they will eat. My daughter and I are the only ones who eat Cauliflower so it's also why I complained at the price for how small the head was. I live in Adelaide and our food is cheaper than a lot of other places around. I am NOT a cheapskate I am frugal. Thanks for your comment but I refuse to accept your negativity what a pity you can't just be kind.
