How I live off £10 a week at Aldi

[@zinc327]

I’d switch the hoops for beans, as this diet is relatively low on protein, bean would help feeling fuller, and better for those who’re active

[@mynameisGail]

The hoops are cheaper than the beans though .

[@iandavies9154]

Yes, switch the hoops for baked beans, more protein less carbs, a more balanced diet worth the 10p extra.

[@rubyshoes9195]

Price today as per the Aldi Website (Aug 2024): Potatoes x 4 - 0.75 Oats - 0.90 Milk - 1.20 Wholemeal Bread - 0.47 Eggs - 1.35 Honey - 0.75 Spaghetti Loops - 0.19 pork chipolatas - 1.79 mixed veg - 0.99 biscuits - 0.45 yogurt - 0.35 Prices have held except on the potatoes, bread and eggs.

Thanks for posting that. Was wondering if there had been a lot of movement

[@quizzlerprofessor]

I can confirm it's correct

[@NattyRose]

When I was a student back in 2012 I would buy spaghetti which was 15p at the time, I would get the mushroom cream soup and sausages pack and make a big pot of creamy pasta with sausage! That would be my dinner for pretty much a week as I would make sure to freeze it in little container. I would also have banana and black coffe for breakfast and I would buy a big tub of potato salad from Iceland and frozen veg and rice. Lunch would be potato salad or veg and rice with a fried egg. Was super boring at times but I survived and it would be less than £40 a month on food since I would sometimes get fruit and salads to help

@@KatzikiKiro It's best to be at Lidl for opening time for the boxes - I buy them on a regular basis and not a lot gets wasted, just usually a few carrots if there are a load in the box. My last box I bought a couple of days ago had 2 punnets of strawberries AND a punnet of grapes, alongside a couple of baking potatoes, 4 decent bell peppers (only 1 was green), some tangerines, a couple of bananas, a nice big red apple, a head of lettuce and a couple of other items I don't seem to recall at the moment. For 1.50. Bargain. As I'm vegan they are IDEAL for me. At the end of the day you could just use the fruit and veg for cheap smoothies.

The cheapest food shop I ever did was in 2020 and got a weekly food shop for £8 I was so proud of myself now my budget is £20 which is great

[@HisaLight2mypath]

Well that's brilliant

[@qindeelashfaq6578]

Which food shop?

[@Chirpingcherub]

@@qindeelashfaq6578 Asda I basically just bought and dry beans and rice with a few extras like veggies depending on what veg you want canned or frozen is sometimes cheaper than fresh. Got dry pasta with the cheapest sauce too. Note I normally spend a bit more but that week was tight I didn’t get any things like cheese or meats.

[@duggy92]

So I’ve technically done a £10 at Asda before. I think it was a little over but still under £11. I don’t have the receipts but I’ll need to do this again as it was around 3 - 4 months ago since I last shopped there (I now work in a food retail shop so I get more for less with a discount). If I remember the list it was: Spaghetti 4 Pack of potatoes Pasta x 2 Cheese (Asda brand) Beans Carrots (if they do the stew pack with a parsnip and onions then get that as that’s usually under £1) 2 tins of tuna (cheap ones) Bread Noodle packs (Asda brand) Bananas Sausages The great thing about Pasta is the amount of cheap dishes you can make with it. I was in a struggle for a whole month only having £30 for food for an entire month and found some cheap pasta dishes from aldi that you can make yourself. 1 bag of pasta is enough to make 3 meals if you know the amount. As well as rice is a good shout. It was a horrible month for me but looking up some tips on stews, pasta and rice dishes saved me the worries and £30 was just enough to go through it but I also did have other stuff in my flat as well for breakfast and ingredients. If I didn’t have any of them then it would’ve been impossible.

[@CosmicSeeker69]

Spaghetti CARBS 4 Pack of potatoes CARBS Pasta x 2 CARBS Cheese (Asda brand) (Poor) PROTEIN (Cows milk isn't properly digested in the human body - Goats and sheep's is however better - BUT far more expensive) Beans CARBS Carrots VITAMINS and FIBRE 2 tins of tuna (cheap ones) (poor) PROTEIN (I say poor bc in cheap tinned fish all the essential oils for brain function are removed to be sold at a premium. Then the remaining flesh is repacked in brine or a cheaper oil leaving nothing like the inferred heath benefits) Bread CARBS Noodle packs (Asda brand) CARBS Bananas COMPLEX PROTEIN with extremely helpful POTASSIUM and MAGNISIUM But a high CARB content that promotes Blood sugar spikes Sausages ABOUT AS NUTRITIOUS as the floor sweepings of a Butchers shop (although they taste great!) ALSO implicated in Bowel cancer. So, for a young woman's body this is existing with virtually NOTHING to support her brain ((No amino acids etc ) and NO IRON to support her monthly cycle - a subject that is never addressed in nutritional circles. The Iron issue could easily be solved by swapping junk sausages for fresh lambs liver..

[@adrianwandering2675]

Not enough fruit! Good call on bananas - cheap fruit for what you get. Possibly a frozen bag of mixed (often 'imperfect' ones are cheaper) berries, take some out the night before and have with the porridge. Frozen fruit is cheaper, less likely to waste and often fresher than 'fresh'. Oh, cheap baked beans would be healthier than spag hoops, whack some tarragon and paprika in and the cheap ones'll taste great!

[@smithy4121]

It's not bad health wise and she does fantastic to get it for a tenner although if you can eat it, baked beans are probably a bit healthier than spaghetti hoops being a protein (I don't like spaghetti hoops though so I may be biased). I would probably just buy 4 pints of milk myself for 20p more just check the date of it will last a week. I'd probably spend a little more and get some cheese but when you're really strapped for cash that's not always possible. If you have a small freezer you could buy a big block once a month grate it all and freeze it to use with your omelette etc. Just some thoughts. I have also found in the long term batch cooking works out cheaper and a bit more variety again if you have freezer space but it does mean buying a few weeks worth of a lot of the food at once though. Good on you for keeping your head on straight Mia.

Their favourite is a fancy, but very close burger place, you’re talking £10+ for a burger, just plain, bit of salad, no cheese or extras, also NO chips! They’re separate and also very expensive. The drinks, milkshakes and desserts are also ridiculously priced. In the opposite direction another place has a 1/4 lb burger, salad & chips for £4!

I eat a lot less than that

Three meals and snacks every day are not essential; that's just a construct of modern Western living. It's about the macronutrients and micronutrients you get in, and when you meet those needs you _probably_ also have enough calories. This girl's diet is an issue because she is undernourished by the ingredients, not because of the portions she eats.
