Love your shopping videos.

We make awesome meat balls with our mince. The yellow label from Asda is great , our Indian friends sent us some rice only Asians can cook to perfection. We added a yellow tin of Irish Stew , Chili Con Carne, stewed steak to the diced cooked vegetables , it was quick and delicious and fed loads of people. The yellow labels are great value.

[@gloriastroedecke2717]

You did very well. Resisting the pre made shepherd's pie was wise.

[@susanjacks8830]

Some great deals Karen! Love your haul.

[@mysticmeadowshomestead6209]

A dozen Sausage, egg, cheese on a muffin; several mince and tatties; a few cottage pies; and a week's worth of tea with milk and sugar. All for L30. We'll done.

Not nearly enough protein and way too many carbs. Price shouldn't dictate what we purchase.

[@babytailz]

Sadly it does.

[@frugalitystartsathome4889]

⁠@@babytailzwell, in the real world, anyway. It’d be nice if we could all afford to buy only what we know is good for us, as opposed to what we know will fill us up, but we do what we have to do these days.

Got a great sainsburys box yesterday for £2 ! I was so shocked how good it is . I don’t think I can post a pic on here so I’ll list what was in it . Potatoes , apples, grapes, watermelon, parsnips, plums, avocado , mushrooms and bananas !!!!!!! Absolutely banging !!!! Can make loads with that😊

[@traceygreenwood1970]

Oh and courgettes

[@debbieframpton3857]

I guess living in the states I don't eat a lot of what you do but I'm always looking for clearance/ markdown items

[@babytailz]

I have membership for the company shop and it is helping protect me from the cost of living prices. For example, bread is usually 40p and they recently have had magnum icecreams, pack of 3 for £1. I am very grateful to be able to save money in this way.

[@Jchathe]

I hope you enjoy your lovely fresh, homemade, delicious shepherd's pie!

Karen, I get sugar from farmfoods for £1 for 1kg. Silver spoon brand. Worth looking there next time you go 😀

[@mysticmeadowshomestead6209]

Zero nutritional value.

[@katherinekeon7034]

@@cheds1 well I'm on the Dean's List at Central Michigan University my name is Katherine Nottingham you're full of it. There's certainly is nutritional value in peas and carrots, in corned beef, I am looking at potatoes, I am looking at a chain 9 do you understand what that is? She does have a perfect chain 9 right here. I know that you're blowing in the wind and your blow stinks. We are prime of midlifers. We're not going to take your negative Nelly stuff. Especially when it is not truthful what you just posted.

[@katherinekeon7034]

@@cheds1 you are wrong. She has created what we call the nine chain it's in science right there is a perfect combination of protein carbohydrate vegetable. The only thing she's missing is a fruit. You are wrong beef, peas, carrots, potatoes, even the pastry that has butter in it is nutritional for the body. Bachelor of Science degree from Central Michigan University Dean's List. I worked hard and paid a lot of money for my education:-):-):-):-)

[@katherinekeon7034]

Thank you for this recipe. I love a good pastry a beef pasta oh my Lord do I ever. I'm going to create that and I think I might even switch out the corned beef for shredded chicken. That sounds so yummy. My son will love the corned beef I will too I also want to try a chicken it just looks yummy thank you for the recipe.

[@May-su8xv]

Thanks for the recipe I’ll try it

[@lat1419]

A great haul, lots of different meals there. Good to see some beef too, as it's getting very expensive now. I don't know if you ever catch Backyard Chef YT, but he did a cracking mince and barely Yorkshire dinner. It reminded me of when I used to use Pearl barley in all my mince dishes and beef stews. Worth a try, as it is very tasty and nutritious, and has a good texture. I have 400g of lidl mince for dinner, which will probably end up as meat balls in cream and blue cheese sauce to use up the random bit of blue cheese from the fridge. Stay warm up there in Scotland.

[@debbieframpton3857]

I've never used fillers in my meat

[@theresaegbuniwe5808]

Good shop!!

[@tonette6592]

Great buy! I have not even found marked-down beef that is affordable. Our mince is up to 4X your prices. One thin cut of beef which I was getting two months ago MARKED DOWN to 3.57 GBP per .4kg was MARKED OWN to 8.91 GBP per .4kg. Buy, freeze, can! Get it while you can.I am sorry that I ever passed up any affordable beef.

[@chorky2]

I love your videos Karen, we are of a similar age but must admit I’m missing your Sunday night lives and was wondering if you will be bringing them back. Great haul for the money. Heather

[@katherinekeon7034]

Ditto... I remind my son that sometimes in the spring summer and early fall people are busy. Even our best friends. I really miss Karen's life. And I also miss The Wallflowers live. I miss those regular posts where I get to watch two or three of my favorite videos from my favorite people in some of my favorite places. It's like the new generation of pen pals. It's exciting and when we all get to hang out together not like Community it is community :-):-):-) and it gives me an awesome endorphin rush for days on end. Now getting together with friends:-)

[@janetmackinnon3411]

A good haul!

I only get mature, can’t believe when mine were small I only bought mild!

[@heatherwatson9564]

If you're going to make shepherds pie if you cook up some parsnips with your potatoes to mash and go on top,it tastes good It's even better on lamb mince which used to be cheap in Australia but is now unaffordable There's a push lately for people to give up red meat which I'm not agreeing with. I won't be switching to crickets any time soon

[@Greenmanure62]

Cheaper than my shop of £145.00😮 it does last 2 weeks, and I shoved loads in stock. I still have a nervous tick though!😂

[@jemmajames6719]

If you get the bigger block of Asda butter you save 23p combated to buying two!

[@preppernut]

You'll get plenty of meals out of that. The parsnips look pretty good. I love them, but they aren't very often in the stores here, I suppose that people don't know them, or maybe it is because they are actually very expensive when they do show up.

[@katherinekeon7034]

I love parsnips, with fresh garlic, garlic anything without a lot of salt. And I like to mash them and add salt pepper and butter oh Lord I could live on that. It also makes an awesome soup if you add herbs to it and you use any type of milk from skim milk to heavy cream I love a good parsnip soup sometimes even add a couple carrots oh my gosh parsnips I've got to get some now I love them:-):-):-):-)
