Can we BUY our weekly FOOD SHOP for ONLY £30 with ASDA JUST ESSENTIALS? 🛒

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hey FreeGang 💚 You will see us do something AWESOME with this ASDA essentials food in our next video SO STAY TUNED 💚

[@sbrader97]

Dodged a bullet there with the tea bags wouldn't wish that on anyone I had the unfortunate pleasure of trying that once and it tasted like it was just a bag filled with soil 😅 can't beat Yorkshire tea

[@FamilyFreedom]

We do love a cup of Yorkshire!!! ☕️👌

[@catherineclark2949]

What a great mixed haul for your money. Loved this, don't usually shop at Asda but will definitely go and look for the yellow products. With all those yellow things your trolley looked happy xx

[@elliehalpin8829]

Hi you both look stunning ❣️. Its not long since i started watching you with me beinf in andout of hospital since my amputation i was going through you tube and seen your videos and loved them. With me suffering from bad depression they helped cheer me up as much as i could be lol theres loads id love to say but dont want to go on and bore you with all my problems but love watching you i will be looking out for more of your videos and catching up on all your other videos sent with lots of love and kind regards Dawn ❤😊

[@RaptureReady-p8f]

Hi again Katie: If you have lots of apples: peel, slice and cook in pot with sugar, cinnamon, pinch of salt and add a 1/3-2/3 tsp of tapioca (in the box). When cooked, put in freezer bags and flatten to freeze. We use them all year long. Make pie or apple crisp. She easy and cheap to not waste fresh apples. Don’t slice apples too thin though. Bless you ❤

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you very much for the tip, that is such a wonderful idea to make the apples last through the winter months!! Bless you too beautiful soul 🙏

2 questions: 1. Could you do a shopping video on what vitamins and minerals you take and what you recommend since you have a vegan lifestyle. 2. Are Jojo and Sienna still best friends? I miss seeing them together. Thank you!! Have a wonderful day. I learn so much from your videos when you shop for food. I have 99% plant based diet😊

[@user-no2mz9hl4f]

I’m sure Bob & Katie can answer these better, but I’ve been vegan for 6+ years and I take vitamin B12 (essential for anyone who doesn’t have a meat-heavy diet, or is over age 50) - 2,000 mcg/week (sublingual - the kind that dissolves under the tongue), vitamin D3 - 2,000 IU/day (D3 can either come from lanolin - a kind of oil produced by sheep - or from lichen - a type of plant - so make sure it’s vegan if that’s important to you), and algae based omega 3’s - 250 g/day. Also, I’m almost positive that JoJo and Sienna are still friends.

[@mimidtw]

@@user-no2mz9hl4f thank you for your kindness.

good on you Asda,great shop by the FF team,hope you can make the best of what you bought,excellent channel!

We tried the maize crisps at the community centre i help at. The pickled onion ones stank but at 75p filled up a few hungry people who didn't want biscuits!

I love these videos very much. I look forward to your new videos and when I'm waiting for newer ones, I have to watch repeats 😅

[@FamilyFreedom]

Glad you like them! We've just uploaded a new one! 😃

[@lanamitchell6592]

Hi family freedom hope you are well and having a good day! Another great video! Keep up the good work!😊 And I hope you have a fabulous week!💚🌻🌿

[@cassidyso4192]

Try to do some yellow sticker shopping haul in different supermarkets and compare which supermarket has the cheapest yellow sticker(biggest reduction)

[@FamilyFreedom]

Great idea Cassidy! 👌

[@cassidyso4192]

As a reminder: Just go to the supermarkets at around 4 or later(depends on your store), you will get some pretty good reductions as you can buy a product in cheaper price and stop waste

[@avacadman2155]

I prep my own chips and freeze them. Peel, crinkle cut, wash, drain, into boiling water for three mins, drain, dry, spray with oil, season of your choice, into a hot oven, cook, but toss on the tray, for about 15 minutes. Take out, cool then bag up. They are so good! Ready to re cook when needed! Oven chips…👍👍👍👍

Thanks Tammie! 😃

Love your videos. I also think I spotted Bob and Jojo as I was on a ride at thorpe park on Thursday, if so I hope they had a great time.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hey Heidi! Good spot! Yes they were there for the day and had a great time thank you. We hope you did too 😊

[@heidiward9179]

@FamilyFreedom I thought it was them, I was on the swarm ride waiting for it to set off and just spotted them at the front of the queue. It was a really good day, thenk you, the hour and a half wait for hyperia was totally worth it, and the vegan doughnut was a nice way to end the day.

[@ImeldaByrne-z4x]

Ye all looked fa in your lovely suits, all you need now is somewhere nice to go x❤🇮🇪

Hey, how are you guys? Whats the song in ur intro called?

[@FamilyFreedom]

We are good thanks Alice! How are you? The song is called Life is worth living by Christopher Young 💚

[@lindsaylovestorun]

The line "this is just her supermarket walk" crippled me with laughter 😂😂😂😂

[@uglenddalejones2]

I confess I was excited to see This Video 💯👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻 I personally rate many of the just essentials range… Oh no- you missed the pizza. Frozen or fresh cheese and tomato pizza is imo,better than the brands. Frozen chips are really good,again preferring them . Tinned spaghetti too- they used to,do spaghetti strands but stopped making it,just the hoops now. The crisps are good.they do a few biscuits I’m sure. Overall- excited to watch this. Taste test and feedback will be exciting

[@nix6784]

They missed the pizza 🍕 on purpose as they are vegan so wouldn't eat it with dairy cheese

[@uglenddalejones2]

@@nix6784 ah,of course I forgot about that 👍

[@carlalappin7170]

Oooh you all scrub up well Katie looked the best obviously 😁🌸 Good vid .. 👍

😊 thank you ☺️

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Another awesome food challenge from the fantastic Family Freedom and love 🥰 the budget food challenge videos so keep them coming. I disagree with Asda because carrots are essential. Love 💗 Family Freedom.

[@catherinebarlow3079]

Price of carrots has gone up price because of bad weather we had last year all vegetables we getting now are from last year they been in storage since then it was on news this morning

[@mxfolkard]

You gust looked very smart in the first clip, great clothes. Love how supermarkets are adding more to their essentials range. Can’t remember if you did this but maybe a challenge like Aldi vs supermarket everyday / essentials range? 💚 #freegang #livebutnotlive #justkeeprising

[@Marcel_Audubon]

looking sharp in your new suits, all 3!

Thanks! 😃

[@lindsaylovestorun]

I'm currently watching this ill in bed. I've just had a 3 hour nap in the daytime which isn't like me but my body must need the rest so I need to listen. This video is great at first I thought you were reshareing the older version. With those type of tinned potatoes I recently made a potato, cauliflower and chick pea curry. Even my little girl liked it. ❤

[@Mama4d8]

Had to look up mushy peas. Our Kroger has them in a 12 pack for 66 bucks. I did see english shelled peas for 3.39 for 6oz.or 170 grams. But unavailable in general.

[@KATHYSFIBROWORLD79]

I've done this challenge on my channel I did a £50 budge but got under that x and the food is actually nice

[@l9685]

Boy I wish Australia offered those prices you guys get in the UK especially for $30 budget

[@julben27]

I have bought a few items of this range and it’s ok with adding extra seasoning.

[@lisasymonds6732]

Hi ya, I have to ask, do you actually use the cheap food you buy for yourselves for dinners etc, or do you donate them? I was just wondering if the own brand foods are nice or not.

[@FamilyFreedom]

We’re so glad to hear that 🤗💚

[@Ste]

For a second I thought you were about to do a supermarket shop in those new clothes.

[@BMarie774]

I’m really glad you guys inquire about the production of the products you do brand deals with, including even asking about the quality of employee conditions. It’s hard seeing creators I love sharing not so moral companies. People really need to learn more about where their products are made and how. I make soap, and it’s so hard to ensure each ingredient is natural and I’m not using child labor or mica that required small children to risk their lives in small underground mines. But it’s VITAL. I will not make, use, or sell a product where a small child risked their life to simply make it pretty.. I have a lot of creators I love who still do brand deals with really really bad companies like BetterHelp or companies who claim to be cruelty free, but then they’re extremely cruel to humans in their working conditions, brands like SHEIN etc. Or for instance, the meat companies who lie and claim their animals are free range and grass fed. Any non vegans should always actually inquire what that means, if you’re trying to buy at least free range and grass fed. The MAJORITY of free range animals and grass fed animals.. are only free range and grass fed the month before their slaughter. They can be grass fed for ONE MONTH out of their life, and be labeled grass fed. They can be imprisoned in tiny conditions their whole life aside from one month..and yet be marketed as free range. Some cruelty free places are anything but.

[@SamM-oh2cx]

A lad at work good love him swears by the Asda essentials range and I agree as long as I’m not down wind from him. My god, when he lets one go and it’s often, it smells like an elephant house!

[@202kittykat]

That milk is so cheap at .50p Here in Australia that would be $1 equivalent but we wouldn’t get a litre for less than $1.89 (95p)

[@barbaraflowers3308]

I recommend a recipe for you to try. Rice and pasta sauce together. It tastes amazing.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Ooh sounds good, thanks Barbara!

Have you got a bean soup or like a bean curry recipie i love all beanz like butter beans bertolli ones chickpeas kidney beans as i say i love them all so delicous

[@202kittykat]

Would love to see what you make for 21 meals if this is for the week. Brekkie I’m guessing oats. Dinners you’ve mentioned. Stumped for your lunches

[@Adduniverse0]

There are some stuff in Asda which are cheaper than ‘Just essentials’ products e.g. 2kg bag of Red Split Lentils for £2.85.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Ah that's interesting. Thanks for letting us know! 👍

[@catherineturner2839]

It would be good to see your weeks meals with the food you bought

Ooh that's a great idea Lindsay, thanks for suggesting it! 🙏

[@catherinebarlow3079]

Alot of just essential range asda taken them off because cost to much money and no that cheese they sold was really big block but stopped it made it smaller and they have just essential in freezers as well

[@samantha-jaynerogers2479]

Are these essential range foods higher in salt and sugar do you know? X

[@croniescreations570]

I would find it interesting to see what the US equivalent would buy (£23). ... Unless this has already been done?

[@FamilyFreedom]

That would be very interesting. We actually did a UK vs US store comparison for a few different stores. You can see the videos here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eobWY556apKWpNE&pp=gAQBiAQB

[@fionawood2473]

The free from is always a lot more expensive

[@KittykittenTabby]

Would love to know what was decent quality and what wasn't.

[@FamilyFreedom]

We're going to making meals with this food in our next video

[@joannewall5499]

The raspberry rolls are really nice but when they were first introduced the were 28p and asda just keep hiking up the prices on things

[@sayitskay]

Sorry if this is a silly question. Pardon my ignorance. But do people in the UK like to shop at the store daily? I was reading that people there do. Is this correct?

[@keeleyabbott1988]

i am a uk family and yeah my parents go shopping every single day

[@catherinebarlow3079]

I go shopping every day because cheap to shop that way get bargains like stuff that has reduced sticker on it so put it in my freezer use it when weather starts to get to cold outside l don't have to go out shopping

[@RaptureReady-p8f]

Hi family freedom. Ok, so if you have an extra spot for two seniors we are coming to live there. Lol. I am so shocked at the lovely fruit/veg for under $2. I just bought potatoes for $7.48 yesterday here in Canada. Our beans are over $2 a can and most other things are crazy prices. It is no wonder that there are people in Canada/USA that are struggling. We have to budget $600-$800 for monthly groceries. What is the price of an average 2 bedroom suite worth in London? Just an average would be great to know? Love you two in your suits, very HOT!! Cool or whatever the phrase is now!

[@sharonb6501]

You did pick up a 28p rice

[@moosky7344]

Online delivery by Asda experience is a different one. They stopped many of the basic range for people who can't go out to buy their shopping, that's even if they deliver your groceries and then charge you for them, delivery is never the time you ordered it to be delivered by,, making a very stressful situation, you got to fight to get your money back ,look at the online delivery reviews for asda first. Saying that food is good and priced reasonably, the stress getting it isn't worth it for receiving shopping late or doesn't materialise

[@grahamjohnson4702]

Yes you bought all these items for £30 but what meals are you going to make, most of the stuff you bought are to go with no sit down meals.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hey Graham, thanks for your question - you make a very good point! You'll see in our next video this Sunday what meals we can make with this! 👍

Disappointed you didn't wear your suits to go Just Essentials shopping that would have been hilarious. Also you were scanning your shopping as you went, you should take bags and pack as you shop then nobody will judge your shopping as they don't know what you bought.
