BUDGET CHARCUTERIE BOARD | How to make a beautiful and cheap graze board

[@bweebweee]

I just wanted to say this is by far the best affordable charcuterie board I’ve seen. A lot of them do price per serving (which is misleading) or don’t list the products they bought. So excited to replicate yours!

[@TheCraftyGalCarla]

Thank you so much! So glad this was helpful to you! Hope your board comes out beautiful! 😊

Can you buy these meat cheese boards already custom made? Ready to eat 😊❤

[@cherihoward2323]

This is not cheap!! Why are you trying to sell this nonsense

[@charitykennedy4020]

@@cherihoward2323Thirty dollars is a fraction of what I spent the first time I went out and started buying things for a charcuterie board without guidance. I think most people have that same experience. This board represents an excellent value with quality ingredients at a price that is far more accessible than most videos. Smaller budget boards usually look cheap. This looks expensive but is affordable for many people.

[@vincepritchard3446]

My son's birthday is next week. I wanted to order one for him. the one I like cost $150 and I said to myself, why not buy everything and platter them yourself. Might cost under $50 instead. That's how I got here🙂 and I'm thankful 🙏 for this video

[@ednaking956]

SO much cheaper to assemble the board yourself. You make exactly what you want!

This is THE BEST CHARCUTERIE VIDEO! You covered, what to buy, where to buy it, how much it costs, and how to make it look amazing. I love the genius of cutting the aged cheddar into 4 different shapes to give the illusion of many different cheeses. THAT is how you keep from spending a small fortune on a board. Aged cheddar is the most popular and universal crowd-pleaser so this makes so much sense. I watched this video a year ago and made boards for Thanksgiving and Christmas that were a huge hit. This year my family has requested another board. I am back for a refresher and am just inspired all over again by this outstanding video. THANK YOU again for your excellent work.

[@AvalonLeeAuthor]

My birthday is on Thursday and one of the things I wanted was a charcuterie board. I’m in Australia so it’s a bit pricier here. But after getting quotes for boards upwards of $170, I’m like “nah. I’ll make my own”. I managed to get EVERYTHING for under $60!!! From Aldi and two things from a local grocery store!

[@emilyvickery8081]

I was going to say, it cost me around 80 a year or two ago at Coles. This year I'm expecting it to cost around 100 because of inflation.I don't do aldis.. and I don't see much price difference nowadays, where I am anyways.

[@mcrheaume7137]

Great! tips for you all. You should cut the graps in group of 3-4 so when you pull it only a small portion comes and not all of it !

[@Bloomwithwhitney]

Great idea!

[@cyndyhardie]

Can’t believe you made such a beautiful board on a. $30 budget!! Your tips for cutting , folding , and placing were fabulous! Thanks so much !

[@belbe417]

few tips : turn your cutting board instead of the cheese when cutting so you handle it less, keeping the cheese in the same cut shape helps guests to identify the cheese. looks delicious

[@2PrazzUp]

I would wear gloves

[@iamthebadwolf7296]

@@2PrazzUpwashing your hands is usually sufficient to prevent the spread of illness. Wearing gloves doesn’t do much to prevent the heat from your hands misshaping or warming the cheese.

I have searched and searched through pinterest at charcuterie boards for months now and I have found your tutorial the best!!. I love that you took us on your shopping trip and explained about design and color break up. As someone who isn't very artistic naturally, I learned a lot from this video. Thank you and PLEASE, keep em' coming!

My husband is a creative director and wanted something creative and fun to take to his work family picnic, so I suggested a charcuterie board. I’ve never made one and I learned a lot of great tips in your video! They were so helpful… I can’t wait to put it all together this afternoon! And seeing how you got it all from Aldi I think I’d be more interested in making it again for that price point!

How do people take a rose salami without pulling it apart? It looks so beautiful.

[@brothertn708]

Just take the whole rose 🤭🤭😆

Roses of this type are not practical. It is much better making a rose using 5 slices so it is a serving for one person

[@marekimura2371]

@@brothertn708 So only 1 person gets the rose? No. Don't think so. Perhaps a small fork so a few pieces can be taken. Also, cut the grapes from the stems!.
