I Bought the MOST EXPENSIVE Item in Every Aisle at the Supermarket

[@kevinh96]

Here's a video idea, one shop the cheapest items from a prepared shopping list, such as value/basics beans, the cheapest fruit and veg, cheap chicken. The next shop the same items but the most expensive organic versions and see if the extra spend is really worth it.

[@jacquespoulemer]

To expand on Kevinh96's idea. and when you guys prepare the meals Sam shares it with the lovely Ms. W. and she can choose which one she wants they you decide which one was better. Jim Mexico

Barry Lewis does something like this is his cheap vs steep series.

[@stevenham1937]

Fage is great if you’re someone eating protein for a reason. I’m a competitive powerlifter so eat a fair whack of meat. 300g of fage 0% with a scoop of protein mixed in and a load of frozen raspberries and oats is a very stomach friendly way for me to get in 50g of protein, good carbs and plenty of fibre while leaving me able to eat again fairly soon. Most other yogurts don’t have the same macronutrient breakdown.

[@SamWilder.]

This is good to know for when I try to start bulking! Thank you!!

[@SPcrypto79]

Lidl yoghurt is quality. Costs £1.69 for 1kg, I personally prefer the full fat 10% one 😻

[@Lemonys6]

Okay that does make sense then. Thanks for the explanation because I thought 0 percent fat and it costing that much was pretty weird...😮😅

[@JesusWasHeree]

​@SamWilder. Try arla skyr. Not QUITE as good but it's the next best thing and under half the price

[@emmanewberry26]

Exactly this! Proper Greek yoghurt is worth the extra money, not 'greek-style' or standard yoghurt with a lot of sugars

You broke my heart by de-shelling those prawns. If you cook them in their shells, they're so much more flavourful! Cook them simply on a grill and serve with a bit of garlic butter. Awesome!

[@kellyz4248]

Same, the shells are the best part! If he had to de-shell he should've at least use the shells for the sauce for extra flavour!

[@WaynesPokeWorld]

Bovril is a great hot drink over winter. It’s got vitamin B, collagen & other minerals. It’s nice when it’s Baltic outdoors ❤️

[@FloatingCroc]

Also good when you toss small cubes of potato in it and roast them

[@AthynVixen]

Yes exactly I don't think its actually meant to be a spread... at least I have never seen it used that way. It's like a nice beef broth.

[@casey6533]

It could be super fun to do this somewhere like M and S, where they have some crazy expensive fun options!

Yay!

[@jamessmithson-br7rm]

[@mahow]

Fage is actually Greek yoghurt (although they're based in Luxembourg now so technically not any more) whereas other brands are "Greek Style" which is why it's more expensive.

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

Really nice too ☺️

[@alyssacope5901]

This was a really cool challenge idea, and you really committed to it with the green stuff and bovril haha!

I really liked this change of pace. Sometimes, the best ingredients are something to splurge on, if you can.

[@jeansmith3367]

Oh I would want a month's shopping for that!!! Some things definitely over priced, such as the cake, chocolates and yoghurt 🙄 - well done for honest reviewing. Not much I would buy from that, but might try the ribs as a treat, they did look good.

Fish, prawns and other sea food is fresh when you buy it out of the freezer, other fish in the fridge where frozen before. So always buy the ones in the freezer

[@dawngl]

To label something 'organic', it has to be certified as having been grown without any artificial/ synthetic pesticides or plant food, for example. Organic is better for the environment in the sense that chemicals aren't being added to the soil; but that also means lower crop yields which is partly why organic stuff is more expensive.

[@jacquespoulemer]

Hello Sam and Carolina (you just keep yourself off camera as much as you want, keep us all guessing! ) Milk freezes perfectly well unless it's some weird non homogenized fracas. It looks like your gearing up for a huge Costco or Ralph's Discount Warehouse shop (hint hint). Costco will save you money. Ralph's will save you tons more. I prefer redheads hehehe. The only time we get Belgian Biscuits in Mexico it's around Xmas. After the first purchase we get them every year....YUM We get our Lint for free in the dryer. (drumroll please) The green guk would probably have been better mixed into the Atlantic. ....fire burn and caluldron Bubble.... hehehe If I'm not mistaken organic veg doesn't use any pesticides or mass produced fertilizers. Rather animal and vegetable compost. Gluten Free Tortilla is merely Corn! Nothing to write home to Iztaccihuatl about. (our local romeo & juliet story. she's a mountain now) Peanut and or Sesame sauce is da Bomb! Jim Mexico

[@FateBoost]

Magnum Mini Classic sticks for ice cream. £6.50 retail. Pizza I'd say pizza express branded

[@lewishanson8422]

Nice video Sam. If you're going to do another of these in the future, maybe rule out bulk buy items? Like if you can buy the exact same quality item in a smaller portion it shouldn't count e.g. the 6 cartons of milk. I think you'd get a more interesting mix of items this way

[@AmyDaisy69]

The Naturya powder is for smoothies and shakes. You can use it in soups and other dishes too to add some nutrition. Organic food is grown with natural things such as poop as fertiliser. Non organic food may or may not use chemical fertilisers and pesticides. I am surprised you didn't pick up a jar of Manuka honey, that stuff is really expensive.

[@kristysmith9723]

Bovril toast without a good layer of melty butter is just wrong, and you're only supposed to use a little - the amount you put in the corner would do half a slice. You can use up the rest of the jar in anything beefy like stew or bolognese where you might want beef stock, but go easy with it. A little goes a long way.

[@mitchellphillips286]

I’m currently living in a hotel for a week and I’d be interested to see you do a challenge either £10 or £20 any shops you like but you can only use a kettle no fridge no freezer and everything has to be bought at once

[@jamesandmikey32]

Love this channel, helped me a lot through my depression these past few months. 2 ideas, an episode where you buy offers or multibuys only and see if it firstly is good value and secondly tastes great. 2nd idea is you could do meal deals only week see if the diet allows it, this means sandwich deals at supermarkets and pasta meals but can include ready meals with drinks like that tesco finest one. Thanks again for your vids. I always get hungry watching then immediately.

Organic is grown without pesticides, herbicides etc. oats are the only thing I get organic cause they end up having a particularly high amount of pesticide in them. Organic animal produce can't be given antibiotics which are normally provided to animals as standard as "preventative" measures but they also stimulate growth.

[@Meryt4973]

Bovril on toast is the best! I eat it every day lol

[@jessierobb1936]

Gianduja [jan-du-ya] is an italian chocolate, where the chocolate is blended with hazelnut paste to make a creamier texture and vaguely nutella-esque taste. So delicious!!

[@KimberlyBaker-v3w]

That was a great video. Made me chuckle several times

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

I grow broccoli on my allotment and everything I grow is organic. That means there are no chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizer. I control weeds by hand pulling them, and no dig gardening a la Charles Dowding. I control pests with companion planting, and I fertilize using seaweed, calcium, compost and planted beans to fix nitrogen into the soil. Does it taste better? Freshly grown broccoli tastes better than anything in the shops, organic or not. However, there is no carcinogenic sprays on my broccoli which makes organic better for you.

[@denisegriffiths8923]

How about a supermarket yellow label only challenge?

[@JJ-Malone]

I'd just whizz up a load of rice to make rice flour. So many things can use it for, rice tortillas, rice chips, cakes, I use it to make rice paper for spring rolls.

[@SamWilder.]

[@KatEdwoods]

Bovril toast definitely needs butter !! More butter than bovril

[@SamWilder.]

Probably should have but I had none.

Yellow melon is called honeydrew, the orange one is cantaloupe, the honeydrew one is really nice and juicy, an supermarket cakes i find are dry, but the tesco finest/asda extra special/ taste the difference little ones such as red velvet, lemon drizzle etc they are really nice and arent dry

Grocery prices are so much higher here in the southeastern US. I wonder if wages are proportionally higher here or if it's truly more expensive to eat here. The only items that had a similar price point were the chocolates and the fancy biscuits.

[@fearnot2204]

How long did this shop take you? I just wondered if it was really time consuming discovering the most expensive items?

[@rachelanderson-z6n]

That yogurt is live -- so it is expensive and it is far more healthy than 'dead' yogurts, by far !! I use the wholemilk one in place of mayonnaise (which I can't eat) -- you can use it in savoury dishes and to top curries. You can use it to culture up more yogurt from milk -- takes practice, but is worth it -- one desertspoon to a litre of milk.

[@claired8543]

Thx for the prawn sauce idea. You could've used some of that cheese sauce to make broccoli cheese - yum! Great content by the way

There is a debate about the nutritional value of organic vegetables, but as a farmer that grows vegetables -- organic growing does not damage your soils and has a much smaller carbon footprint. In your economy videos -- get an allotment and growing your own is really cost effective.

The bovril was spread too thick. For that amount it should be spread over the whole toast, buttered first. No wonder why you can't appreciate it, you prepared it completely wrong. I hope the prawn shells and head were used to make prawn stock.

Holy crap, that was more than 3 weeks of grocery budget for hubby and I in the US. Been here for 15 years. Can't even fathom spending that much money back in the uk on a few days worth of food.

That naturya is basically just overpriced spirulina and wheatgrass with a bit of ginger in it. I use spirulina to feed my daphnea (water fleas) to feed my betta fish live food.

The steak sandwich looks delightful,thank you.

[@TravelWithBradley]

Complete theory and guess but I'm pretty sure things like those 16 quid cakes cost almost nothing to make, but they obviously throw them away very regularly - the price is to pay for all the ones that don't get sold. You're paying essentially for the convenience of them having made one for you in the first place.

Fage costs more because it is much more nutrient dense. If you are after macros then the price makes sense.

could’ve got loose veg priced per kg just pick the largest (heaviest one)! Would work out like the chicken that’s also priced per kg so bigger (heavier) packs just cost more as a result! It’s not that the larger pack of chicken is better than the cheaper packs - it’s just more! The steak is another matter cos it’s Tesco finest.
