Eating For £1 A Day (FULL WEEK CHALLENGE)

HOW TO EAT FOR £7 A WEEK | EMERGENCY GROCERY BUDGET PLAN | CHEAP MEAL IDEAS
Welcome back to my cooking videos! In this video I created a grocery list for £7 for the week, choosing items of nutrition, which may be filling, and hopefully make the food last for a whole week. This plan includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. I include some quick recipes, ideas and a menu plan. This is not designed for a long term solution, but may give you some ideas for a short term fix or for some 'lower spend' days. it may not always have been the prettiest of meals, and there is scope for tweaks if you have other herbs and spices, but it could be a starting point for someone. I hope this helps you, or someone you know.
If you are struggling, personally, please do reach out for help at your local council, food banks or contact the following for further help and advice:
- your GP or health visitor.
- your support worker.
- your social worker.
- a local charity, like Citizens Advice.
- the police, and.
- your child's school.

A couple of years ago I did this (on paper). I allowed 10p per day for herbs, spices and small amounts of ingredients. I also used other pantry ingredients costing them pro rata and some supermarket shopping. Doing it this way I managed within budget and had a desert for lunch and supper too. After all most of us have a pantry with lots of half used basic ingredients.

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

Definitely!! X

[@gillianhope7742]

Great video , adding a few herbs and spices would be tasty and probably most people have some already in cupboard , as you say not nutritionally sound for long term but great for a week 5 of a five week month x

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

Definitely. Thought it would be useful as a starting point for people, if nothing else 😘

[@clairechater]

That is a hard budget to aim for. You like a challenge! Your Son is really sweet, too.

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

Ahh thank you ☺️ I dropped on really when I went shopping in terms of deals, but hopefully gives people some Ideas for cheaper meals ☺️

[@miracecilieandresen6901]

I have debating with myself but I have to say it Prices in UK makes no sense, I am a wee bit envious but I do love shopping in food stores there but never been to Aldi

[@amandamuzyka3704]

How in the world are you getting carrots, onions and potatoes for 15 p? Even the "without card" price is cheaper in the UK than Italy and salaries her are WAY lower. All of that marked down food? Nope, not here.

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

😢 x

[@Jessica-5827]

The veg was only that cheap as in the UK now supermarkets are doing deals on veg around Christmas and Easter which is when this video was filmed. The prices are around tripple for the rest of the year and going up almost weekly or the supermarket don't have the cheaper items forcing people to buy the more expensive items or going without.

[@clairechristy4023]

Great video. Well done ! Please can you do some for bigger families £20/£30/£40 pw x

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

Hi yes, I’m hoping to get one up every Saturday going forwards 😊

[@donnabrennan456]

Great video Sam. I will look forward to Saturdays now xx

[@hazelwilson7825]

Do you have any vegetarian meals you could share. I live alone and tend to snack more than I should but I do eat porridge, some bread, baked beans, eggs, hummus, beetroot, fish and lots of oranges.

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

Definitely! I usually intertwine them in my regular week menu but I am planning on a whole week of veggie ones as my daughter it vegetarian so this might well suit 🤗

[@allyrooh3628]

The food is so ridiculously low cost 😮. I’m a weeee bit jealous here in the US.

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

Yes - definitely cheaper in the U.K., and we’ve seen costs increasing here lately!

[@kazlee9213]

Sorry no offence but doing this when veg is 15p isn't that hard to do

[@TheBudgetMumUK]

Oh yes, I definitely dropped on. But, there is always opportunity to get free or reduced price veg and hopefully it just gives people food for thought and some ideas they could start with 😊
