Greek Week! Budget Meal Plans | Money Saving | Food from Greece

It’s Greek week! I make Greek food on a budget (about £30) and eat only Greek for the entire week. #budgeting #mealplanning #greekfood #budgetmeal #affordableeats #budgetmeals #budgetfoodie #foodwaste #frugalfood #costoflivingcrisis #frugalfoodie #thriftycooking #budgeteats

i loved all your experimentation, very inspiring

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you! Cheers!

I would absolutely love seeing your wardrobe etc whatever in your daily life you want to show us.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Ooh fab x

[@mellibee100]

Yes! Me too! Would love to know your thinking behind your wardrobe 😊. Hubs and I are currently in Greece for a month and am watching this with great interest. One dish I enjoy in Greece as a vegan is Imam Biyaldi (I believe it is actually Turkish meaning "the Imam faints" probably because it is so good!). We are on a Greek island very close to Turkey so there is quite a bit of Turkish influence here.

Ive got the jack monroe books . You remind me the way you cook of her. Very inventive . Her books are incredible . I can save so much just by using her recipes that i would usually never dream of putting together x

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Jack is fab! Not read the books but have tried the tinned peach curry she does x

[@dawn5002]

Just come across your channel. Love your foodie vids, but would also love to see other content too, such as about your house/garden/wardrobe etc but no pressure if you’d rather stick to food and budget x

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Noted! Another lady suggested I do a kitchen tour so I’ll start with that x

[@mariedamon5655]

Hi all that food looked delicious what meal would you say was your fave .I would of ate all of the meals and the treat balls sound yum x

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

They were all so good! X

[@mamanexpat9300]

I discovered your channel just a few days ago, and I am already binging on your cooking videos. I admire people like you who have the skills to create a feast out of a few ingredients. 🙂

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you so much 🙂 I hope you enjoy my adventures. Sometimes good, sometimes food disasters haha xx

[@carolcopley3639]

Good morning. Thank you for responding to my comments. Found your posts about a week ago. Now going back to review the historical post. Fun and interests. Some of my best efforts have come from just searching what’s on hand. Looking forward to more! 😊

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

You're very welcome and I hope you continue to enjoy my videos carol x

[@itcanbedonedollars3693]

Giving me so many ideas. I love babaganush. The greek rice dish looked divine 😊 I love budget foodie videos & I've got some ideas brewing now for what I can do when I'm back in the UK 🎉

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Yay! Thank you! Xx

[@carolcopley3639]

I’ve never used the peels from veggies to make crispies! What a fantastic idea and no waste!

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Love these crispies! Let me know how you get on x

[@Ruth58969]

Love Greek food.I used to live there. It all looked delicious.Jack is gorgeous. I have 4 cats.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Hey Ruth, aww four cats that is my dream! X

[@joana-up3iy]

100 per month it is still on a budget. Even though you heve some sweets and coffe erc. We spend a lot more for one person. Very inspiring 🎉

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

So true! Thanks xxxx

[@Amanda-pv9kz]

Hello from Florida USA!! I just love what a resourceful, scrappy, creative cook you are. Yes on everything!!! Your shopping hauls would cost 3x more here. I had to pause and rewind on your wardrobe organization. You only wear black, white and bright green?? That should be another video! LOL I enjoyed your Greek week as I love Greek food as well (no meat or dairy). Well done! Hugs to Jack

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Hello Amanda from Florida! Yes my clothes are black, white, green and leopard. And so is my whole home decor 😹 will do a wardrobe tour soon as you are the second person to request it. I love Greek food too. Jack says hello 👋😸😸

[@paulamccarthy8197]

Beautiful cat

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you! His name is Jack and he is the love of my life

[@lenac7655]

Yummy for the tummy😋. Smart ideas. Thanks for sharing.🥗🍅🍆

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

My pleasure 😊 thank you so much for tuning in xx

[@loriweagant-ray2496]

Wow your prices are amazing based on prices in the USA. Oranges in a bag would be $5.00 on sale, $8.00 normal price. I enjoy your videos. I love your realistic comments, such as I “ I hope it doesn’t kill me.” Makes me laugh and reminds me of myself.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Haha I know I’m surprised I’m still standing! Glad you enjoy xx sorry to hear about your food prices in USA 🇺🇸 x

[@janetsandham7058]

Well that me done today Enjoyed all ur vids today Slowely. Catching up Thanks for sharing I'm now going to catch up on what's going on in the world But ur. Chanel more interesting Take care

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Enjoy!

[@jillmcaleese6514]

What a lot of work you put into this video, and it covers a great variety of topics: cooking, gardening, thrift, shopping/saving, menu planning, foraging, budgeting etc Very creative and interesting. Making your own bread and milk is pretty hard-core, especially for just one person, and using and re-using lemon skins and veg skins and peels too, well done! Growing your own from leftovers will be easier in warm weather but a great saving. I like the way you check ingredient labels, too.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thank you Jill xx

Whats the oat milk like

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Hmm it was quite thick I had to water it down a lot x

[@peterhelton7395]

Meat and fish play a huge role in Greek cooking. I aso don't see any Greek cheeses like feta, which is unthinkable in Greece.. Tahini, and before you say Hummus, neither are Greek, they are Middle Eastern, whatever British supermarkets try to tell you.

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Ok…

[@ajrwilde14]

Hi what camera do you use?

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Just my iPhone x

I could not watch rest of this video the tv and music background was to noisy. Your very creative cook.
