Thank you for sharing your idea of drying the carrots before storing them in the fridge I've tried it and they stay fresh for long time..Excellent suggestion 🥕👌👍

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

You’re welcome 🎄

[@muttersmenu2422]

Looks fantastic, enjoy the yummy bargain 👍⛄️🎄🇦🇺

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

thank you

[@pamgardiner2912]

Thank you for showing the green lentils sprouting on Tuesday. I’ve sprouted lots of seeds in the past but never green lentils. Put them to sprout Tuesday and today, Friday , they’re beginning to sprout

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Great. Take care 🎄

[@dianawoods4772]

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

And to you too 🎄

[@LB-my1ej]

Just got my Christmas veg from Lidl for 8p each, Brussels, carrots, parsnips, potatoes and swede.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Well done 👍

[@missworm]

I’m going to send Mr Worm to the shops for those cheap potatoes (He’s 6ft 2 so he’ll cope if there’s a scrum), and then roast them and freeze a big batch. Thanks for the reminder! Happy Christmas, BeFree 🎄❄️🎄

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

😃happy Christmas Miss Worm 🎄💫

[@kitchenworker446]

Yes the winter veg in Aldi is 8p...they are limiting it to two bags of each veg per person...

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Thank you 🎄

[@frugalitystartsathome4889]

It was six bags of each per person when I went - I got four of sprouts, carrots, broccoli and two each of cabbage and potatoes, no bother.

[@AbidaS0301]

Asda veg is 8p as well and that includes potatoes.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Thanks for the info 🎄

[@gailgulliver8970]

Thank you Jill the root veg look so beautiful xxx

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Thank you

[@sharonrollinson1821]

All those vegetable’s at such a good price. Your lunch looks amazing 😋

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Happy Christmas Sharon 🎄🤶

[@JT-2012]

The vegetables you bought look wonderful and such great prices. They'd be over $20 here. Our veggies definitely don't look as fresh and healthy as yours.😞 Glad you're able to eat healthy for so little. 👍😀

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Many thanks JT, have a great weekend 🎄🐶

[@AtHomeWithRae]

Wow those veggie prices had the most insane clubcard deals!? Nothing like that in my local tesco. Even the yellow sticker stuff is like 'this item is £5.50 full price and it's about to expire so we'll charge you £4.20 instead' lol.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Yes great deals

[@julie011267]

Lidl also has shallots for 9p I'm still using some from the summer i keep them in fridge X so I'm going to get a few bags to last until the summer x

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Good tip🎄

[@brendafarris7590]

Merry Christmas!

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Same to you 🎄

[@sharonheppell8378]

Oh Jill Are You Sure You Are Old Enough For Those Sprouts😂🤣🤔 Your Dinner Looked Yummy!!!! Take Care Sweetie Keep Warm, Have A Fabulous Weekend 🙏🧘‍♀️🪷🎄

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Many thanks, you too 😄

[@GoldfinchRobin]

I have stocked up on food as well as goodies like chocolate - I plan to have a low spend January too, only going shopping for essentials like bread and milk and some fresh veg maybe later on in January.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Good idea 🎄👍

[@Su-ri5ob]

I had to be approved for some shoe polish some time ago!

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

😁

[@gardentours]

Wonderful that they sell those veggies for that price. It's a real Christmas 🎄 present 🎁 🌝👍I have a feeling that here the prices go up the weeks before Christmas and then only 1 day before Christmas they go down.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Stock up when the prices go down Heidi 🎄

[@kaycee625]

One has to wonder what the farmers get paid when the supermarkets are selling at rock bottom prices.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Yes, have a good weekend

[@countesscable]

They are sold at a loss to themselves as a sweetener to get the customers through the door. The farmers don’t get paid less in this instance.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Yes I thought they might be a loss leader 🎄

[@uglenddalejones2]

Think everyone been taken by surprise this year with the 8p veg. Best wishes xxx

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Yes I was surprised 🎄

[@MoonSpinners]

I wish they’d sell the cheap veg online for all of those like me who are housebound, I’m so glad you managed to get them, but I find it a bit rotten of the supermarkets to only have these offers in store.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

I didn’t know that . Take care 🎄

[@dorothyhopkins5460]

You can get them at Tesco online at the cheap price.

[@kwkw5711]

Sainsburys if you have nectar card cheap online.

[@MoonSpinners]

@@kwkw5711 …I’ve got a nectar card, and none of the veg is 15p cheap

[@MoonSpinners]

@@dorothyhopkins5460 ..no you can’t unfortunately

[@jaynemcwhirter1782]

Im sure they were 29p last year in a few of the supermarkets. Great prices this year. Tescos always have lovely potatoes in the deal. Merry Christmas Jill 🧑‍🎄😃

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Yes they are lovely potatoes. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@miracecilieandresen6901]

Wow 15p That’s amazing 😊 Hello from Norway 😊

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Hello Norway 🎄

[@brendafarris7590]

Brace for coffee increase of 20-30% in the new year. We don't get those veggies deals here in the USA. Merry Christmas dear Jill!

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

thanks for the heads up on coffee 👍

[@bluefoxblitz8416]

😊 it says in my root cellaring book that to store veg make sure none of them are touching each other. Sawdust is recommended to keep the veg crisp. My plan to keep the cockatoos out of the apple trees didn't work. They have cut holes in the insect netting and are dipping down and plucking out apples and pears. Little buggers. But what makes it worse is one of them is coming to my window, 20 cm away from where my head is when I sit on the lounge, and tapping with its huge beak. It waits until I lift the blind and then we have a Mexican stand off staring competition until I give in and go out with cut up pink lady apple. 😂 They now feel entitled for loving ❤️ 😂 so they will get a nice surprise when winter starvation comes and I pull off the insect netting to reveal the ones that got away. Bonanza. 😊😊 Belinda

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Have a relaxing weekend Belinda 🎄💫

[@anntalbot9046]

Hello from Shropshire, We went to Morrisons as we have a More card. 10p veg and 5 points for each item bought. We put our extra veg in paper bags and store them in our outhouse. Maybe you can do that in your garage. We enjoy your videos, Merry Christmas 🎄

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Good idea

[@beverleyroberts1572]

If you got a food deydrator( they are very reasonable on temu) you could use it to dry some of your food then just rehydrate it when needed

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Good idea 👍

[@neiltonks4627]

Some veg is 8p in Aldi.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Thanks for the info

[@Proper-Kernow]

Aldi is 8p, they have potatoes, turnip, brussels, red and white cabbage, brocoli and carrots. Put your veg in the fridge salad drawer, it will last for months. The cabbages, dry blanche in the microwave for 5 to 7 minutes to heat through, then cool, dry, then freeze.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Thanks for the tips 🎄

[@ashleybosvik3031]

Is there a limit at Aldi's what you can buy for vegetables

[@Proper-Kernow]

@@ashleybosvik3031 6 of each item.

[@WebPeasantClan]

Aldi was 15p on Thursday, by Friday it was 8p to match Lidl.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Interesting 🤔

[@jaynewatts1813]

Aldi are 8p at the moment on there vegetables.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Thank you

[@Allison-c8m]

Yes Aldi had potatoes, broccoli, white cabbage, carrots, parsnips, and broccoli and sprouts all 8 pence but you gotta go early 👍😊

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Thanks for the nod 👍🎄

[@margaretnicolaou9294]

Wish they would do that here in Cyprus

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

It gets people into the stores

[@margaretnicolaou9294]

@BeFree-BeFrugal but it's worth it ?

[@Proper-Kernow]

The brussels wasnt the problem. It was the turnip, because it is so big it confused the checkout computer. I had this a few weeks ago.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

👍🎄

[@BIJOU167]

10p in Morrisons

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

👍

[@krazykefir]

Aldi veg is 8p. Picked up some potatoes and broccoli

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Great . Thank you 🎄

[@Janet-l2h]

Could you store some veg in a sack in the garage? Or in the boot of your car like you do with apples? I went to Aldi and bought enough veg to hopefully see me through until the end of January. I'm aiming for a low or no spend month and the current veg prices will definitely help!

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Yes I’m going to store some in the garage

[@micheleashton9429]

Could always keep in a cardboard box in your car boot ,your apples kept well 😊x

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Yes good idea 👍

[@Rosiebyanothername]

I went today (early afternoon) to Asda and Lidl and neither of them had a single reduced price vegetable for sale They’d all sold out 😂

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Think a lot of people are taking advantage of these prices

[@kwkw5711]

Bags look bigger than sainsbury bags.....

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

I didn’t check the weights

[@kwkw5711]

Me neither but just eye balling they Defford look bigger

[@ashleybosvik3031]

Is there a limit how many you can get?

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

I don’t know but others in the comments section have said they’ve experienced limits

[@apriledmondson8195]

Not at tesco

[@JC-rl1vd]

Oh my goodness, only 15p for each package? That's only 19 cents in the US. We'd never get that here. And your veg looks so much better than ours. I'd stock up as well. Those types of veg last a long time. And you can make so many dishes with them. It's what I usually get too, including onions, garlic, cabbages and celery. It's funny that you had to be approved for your Brussel sprouts. Even the register thought it was too good of a deal for the weight..😄 I eat a lot of veg but I've never tried a parsnip! I'm going to buy a bag and roast them up in my tray bake.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

They taste sweet 🎄

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

I just put all the vegetables in the pan including the parsnips just covered with water brought to the boil. Simmered til almost cooked. Then placed the sprouts on top to ‘steam’ in the steam while the veggies finished
