How I live on £10 a week at Lidl

I am single and grew up in extreme poverty . I now have a very high income . I survive on about 3 pounds a day or less . No processed food is the key !

Living on £10 a week is not difficult. I do it all the time and I have found that an awful lot of the things in Lidl are more expensive than Sainsbury’s, and not as good. Lidl isn’t as cheap as is generally assumed.

Going to start budget next pay day, I've loads of food I need to get through, always prepped a bit, now is the time , all those extra bits I've bought will come in handy .

I hope you realise how important videos like this are? Most people spend an absolute fortune on food each week then throw most of it out because they haven't eaten it! It's SO vital to make a meal plan and buy what you actually need - unless you're even more organised like me and buy in bulk (legumes, pasta, tinned veg, rice, fish plus essentials like bleach, loo rolls, washing powder, shampoo, toothpaste, cat food etc) to avoid the constant price rises. Very impressed, I must say.

Here in Scotland you can get 15 eggs for £1.99 at aldi..various weight..but most are a good size...Ideal for egg (poached, fried or scrambled) and beans on toast snack...Or a veg omelette made with a hand full of the mixed veg. Make sure to defrost or cook a little in the pan before adding the eggs...And can be used to make pancakes (savoury or sweet) with a big bag of cheap flour. Or batter for toad in the hole (or just yorkshire puds) Or even microwave cup cakes with cheap vanilla flavouring with a little sugar as a treat ...Though you could make pancakes with out eggs!..I have...You could use blended oats for the pancakes..If you have a blender or folks have a problem with flour.

I'm amazed at what you've managed to buy for just over £10!

(I saw a comment about Lidl fruit and veg not being great too - I find this true of most supermarkets and even my local greengrocer these days, unfortunately!

Very good, I'd probably switch out the mixed veg for leafy greens like spinach or kale to make sure to increase vitamin and mineral intake and add vitamin K to diet 🙂

[@johnmacaroni105]

Frozen vegetables can be just as nutritious as fresh vegetables, and in some cases, they may be more nutritious. Frozen vegetables can retain their vitamins and minerals, and freezing can even preserve nutrients better than refrigeration. Frozen vegetables can be a convenient and cost-effective way to eat a variety of plants. They can be prepared with minimal effort, and they're available year-round. £1.20p at Tesco and last a good while. I considered that a bargain.

[@Matty-fl2tu]

@johnmacaroni105 I totally agree John but the chances are with mixed vegetables, it's gonna be carrots, peas, sweetcorn and green beans, which means with the other foods on the list will lack Vitamin K and iron, which dark leafy greens have especially spinach with also vit A, B and C, Potassium, foliate, magnesium,, mixed veg would be great if there were items on the list containing Vit K and Iron

(1), Boil a portion of Macaroni ( or penne, fusilli, orso) with half afinely chopped onion if it's large. (2) Grate cheese for your topping and preheat grill medium heat. ( 3) Drain pasta and onion and put inyour cookig dish, mixing in a can of tomato soup. (4) Sprinkle grated chese. Add chopped bacon on top if you like or add a sliced tomato or a bit of courgette even. (5) Grill till golden crispy, serve with a dash of Worcester sauce and some rocket or lettuce on the side. Recipe from my late Mum's 1964 Woman's Own! If you like tinned tuna I've another cheap recipe , if you're interested

[@JaneEasterbrook-bn3ux]

@julieedwards7178 Easy to double up or do on e serving. You need a tin of tuna, drained, a can of carrots, sliced and drained, mashed potato and a parsley sauce mix. In a saucepan, cook potatoes till ready to mash. Or use instant. You need enough to make a ring of potato around outside of plate or plates. In a medium saucepan, put in the parsley sauce mix with just under half pint of milk, stirring as you gently heat it. As it thickens ,add the carrots and flaked tuna. Bring to boil gently till thickened. Spoon sauce in centre of each plate and add, if wished, a dash of Worcester sauce.

I usually buy the beef & veg, lamb, chicken & veg I also recommend Lidl simply eggs. 15 for £1,99 Lidl instant noodles I think Newgate 35p I buy 12 sausage, 16 bacon, 12 eggs for £8.25 and get 6 nice breakfasts and even a bit for dog.

Can we have a story time of your moving house and a home tour x

[@TheBudgetFoodie]

Yes I’ll do this today x

[@Tsamados]

Did you stick to the meals though, as they'd be very bland!

[@steveabcuk]

Why don't you go to a food bank

[@Mr71paul71]

Potatoes, potatoes are cheap as chips and very good for you. Any tight budget should include mountains of spuds

That’s a fantastic haul for under £11 … lots of variety and options there if you’re like me and your meal plans tend to go off track 😂

[@TheBudgetFoodie]

I was pleased with my haul!

[@christinadoherty]

​@TheBudgetFoodie as you should be 🤩🥰

[@chrishart8548]

Did you work out how many calories you were consuming each day ?

[@Bea90451]

Hi. Schön dich wieder zu sehen !! 😱😱 ... du hast jetzt nicht wirklich so ein altes, super schönes Haus gekauft ???? Wie cool wäre das denn !! Grüße aus Bayern. Bea. 👋

[@TheBudgetFoodie]

Renting!

[@Bea90451]

@TheBudgetFoodie wow ! Es sieht klasse aus ! Glückwunsch ! 🤔 Warum hast du dir kein Haus gekauft ? Da hättest du dir doch die monatlichen Mietzahlungen gespart ? Und verkaufen kann man ein Haus immer noch. Grüße 👋

So many carbs!!!! Ok when you are younger but in the long run edible and filling but not much nutrition.
