A Week On Sainsbury's Basics DAY 7

[@TheCooperman666]

You had that brick of cheese all week and dident have cheese on toast for breakfast? It would've been better than dry toast you crazy man lol

[@FormerRuling]

What's really funny is one day he cheated for breakfast "because he had to" and we know he had in his fridge at the time: Sausages, eggs, potatoes, cheese, and bread. Lol

[@TheCooperman666]

@Ben Munday not for a week dumb dumb

[@propanawty9091]

He mistook cheese for marijuana and sold it

[@levelcatyna7854]

Ben Munday all week that’s one long soak

[@MonkeyMelissa3]

A week on the Gregg's diet (Gregg's released a diet plan last year showing how you can have 3 meals a day there and a snack and still lose weight by staying within your calories) obviously a bit of a marketing ploy but would be fun to see if it works

[@Bill-lt5qf]

buys a kg of cheese..... doesn't open it till day 7. im a sad man

[@DoodlesMcpooh]

Should've put 500g on the bolognese to make it palatable.

[@mettainacan7813]

Message to Grace: Tell him to clean the oven himself next time, ungrateful sod!

[@maxscardanelli6185]

She could've just cleaned it overnight.

[@GorgorothBergen-ns7il]

@Mac Daddy Definitely...😉

[@MrBrownFilms]

I like these but the problem is the creativity in what you eat is absolutely terrible! You could have had cheese sandwiches all week!?

[@TheCooperman666]

cheese omelette's,cheese on toast,cheese plowmans,sandwiches,baked potato beans n cheese....the list is endless realy

[@FrigginTandy]

It was good to see him have things he wouldn't usually have. Like the PB&J sandwich. It's good to see him experience new foods and see his reactions do it

[@edbadyt]

There is nothing creative about eating cheese all week

[@tsnight2791]

One question *Why did you choose to use that cheese on the last day please*

[@markandrewward5718]

The sixth and final day ? How much of that vodka did you drink ? 😂

[@N7Biotic]

Yes I thought he said that 😂😂

[@rutter1ify]

💯👌

[@tahmedurrahman666]

This week went really quickly! I ain't gonna lie

[@MikeChapmanRC]

1kg of cheese... didnt put it on his beans on toast like I said before!!!! WHYYYY

[@aaronchapman1306]

You should do either pound land or B&M bargins

[@monicaaaaah]

B and m would be good

[@killerwhalegaming8902]

Can you do a weeks on morrisons savers range

[@DoodlesMcpooh]

He probably will eventually. He's done the other major supermarkets.

[@happydayz3984]

This weird,why?

[@ECM05]

You should do A Week on Co-Op Simply Value

[@mattpownall4781]

Or coop irritable

[@thesweetestlaax8791]

Week on retro dinner! I.e each decade

[@mariedonnachie8784]

A week on wartime rations. A week on homecooked meals!

[@10191927]

I have a suggestion, A week on potatoes. You can have as many potatoes as you want, you can make anything from simple fries/chips, to crisps, gnocchi, mashed, etc. you can add things to potatoes such as cheese, milk, salt pepper, but nothing outside of the potatoes itself.

[@jimmystardawg1506]

You should do a week on next time but include takeaway style food from the supermarket

[@susanobrien4380]

Oh I see, you're drinking most of the week and then ignore Basil. No wonder he was so moody with you. Face it Mike, you're a bad servant for Basil. Bad Mike, bad! Oh and love to Basil!

[@pompeyftwpup5506]

I just got my copy of viral yesterday and I can’t put the book down

[@GreatSageSunWukong]

Pompey ftw PUP why is it really sticky

[@CJ-ox4oc]

Keep up the Week on vids! Worth the subscription and it's always nice to see Grace.. and Basil too!

[@matthewrobinson2831]

You should do a week on the happy shopper brand food that you get from local corner shops. That would be interesting

[@margaretstannard5586]

Cheese and tuna melt sounds good👍You have had so OK food this week well done 😍

[@richwilliams9895]

Some of basics range is really good. They rebranded the basics frozen ready meals to Stamford street and cut price and they are excellent ready meals. They also do a discount range called J James on fresh foods and that is apparently very good too. Basics mix veg frozen is good too as there’s no sweet corn in there lol. Thank you for doing it and show that there’s nothing to be afraid of buying basic/ value ranges from supermarkets and there is money to be saved by buying them instead of the big brands.

[@maxscardanelli6185]

A Week-On Aldi or Lidl next? I wonder if you finished off that bottle of vodka within the week too...

[@sarahc643]

Mike, do you try everything that you buy for the week on? Are there extra foods that you have brought that you couldn't fit in the week? Enjoying your channel. Thanks

[@JohnDoe-hv3vz]

Week on dumpster diving

[@levelcatyna7854]

John Doe sounds interesting

[@williamleinster3412]

Tortilla chips were missing with the chilli. Lol

[@zoew1602]

I'm sick of tin openers, so I was pleased to see a ring pull on the basics tin of chilli.

[@N7Biotic]

Yes! I have issues with my hands. So using a can opener is pure agony! But I can easily open a pull ring. This the first time I've seen a value tin item that has a pull ring. Well done sainburys 👍👍

[@zoew1602]

@@N7Biotic I opened tuna the other day, all the flipping fishy water went over the tin opener so I have to wash it grrrrr!!! And true what you said, usually the basics range don't have ring pulls so indeed thumbs up to Sainsbury's!! ☺️

[@N7Biotic]

@@zoew1602 yes! I've had the trouble aswell with everything spilling everywhere 😩🤦🏼‍♀️ so annoying haha. even sometimes the lid falls in and gets stuck 😂

[@david1976aful]

I’f that larger had have been 5%, at that price, every pisshead in the country would be drinking it. 😂

[@ClassicGamerX11]

I swear my local sainsbury's doesn't do even half these basic items. Which is a shame because most of their products are overpriced Rather shop at Aldi every day of the week.

[@MarkNorville]

@Brit Shanks the prick spent £10.50 on a bottle of vodka and £4 on a bag of sweets. So if you take that £15 away yes it is still too much. However aldi is not cheap. I could feed myself for near enough a month on the £15 that this prick has wasted on booze and chocolate. Try a slow cooker.

[@MarkNorville]

@Amrin Ibaa A slow cooker 3.5 ltr will do around 7 bowls of what ever you cook. It would depend upon your bowl size though. A bag of mince costs £3.50 from iceland and a total of £5 for the rest of the ingredients. It works out to 71p a serving. 10 sausages £1 total with other ingredients let's say £4 57p a portion for sausage casserole. So that is two weeks worth of meals for £9. When you slow cook meat you can buy the cheap stuff as it tastes a lot better slow cooking than it does frying.

[@richwilliams9895]

Supermarkets are clever they know how affluent an area is. If it’s and tailor the range around it lol. My local Asda cut nearly all value range cut back on own label and had shelves full of branded stuff straight after the refit in store lol.

[@elliottdodson50]

A week on gluten free would be cool, seeing as you did vegan etc. Or a week on Keto ?

[@thomraider9193]

How dare you not grate that cheese on camera with a gadget? This is an absolute betrayal, Sir!

[@BBC600]

My mum and I liked the fact you were wearing a NASA shirt as we had just finished reading “To Space and Back” by Sally Ride.

[@BritishAdam]

Please do Morrisons Savers, as my local supermarket i use it a lot, a lot of good hits, but also a lot of bad misses in that range!

[@MayorOfEarth79]

2% ABV Beer? Damn that's peasant's beer.

[@tahmedurrahman666]

Morrisons Savers and Waitrose Essentials week on please!

[@SquidgyPixel]

Aren't you forgetting Simply M&S as well? ;)

[@doodleschucky]

I think their basics tinned sliced carrots are nicer than the more expensive versions, and the digestive biscuits are nice too.

[@shardstorm21]

you could of had vodka and chocolate for breakfast.

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

I came here to say that! Would have been an interesting way to liven up the Sunday papers!

[@JustinKoenigSilica]

Have had *

[@aalyssassecret]

Mike can you do a week on M Savers ❤️

[@Farrah42010]

Enjoyed watching the 7 day journey

[@JezHax]

When buying the whole basic menu, how much food do you normally have left over?

[@Crimson_Logic]

Do a week on Waitrose

[@BeckyRyder89]

A week on Morrison's savers? Some stuff is pretty tasty!

[@krucefix]

here i'm sitting here drinking my light local beer, seeing that Mike is cracking open a beer of his own, so i'm sending a mental "cheers" to the screen, and then he says its a 2%... my jaw dropped, that something like that exists, its pretty much liquid bread, even this very light (Cēsu premium from Latvia, in case you want to do a foreign foods thing some day), is a 5.2%, don't know about GB, but dark beers reach 6-7%, hell, we even have a few light beers at the 7% range, whats going on there in the strange land called Britain?

[@angeladelia7472]

For the tuna, "a little more dolphin but it's ok" lol

[@carollechowski561]

love the channel,love Grace and just like everyone else i totally love Basil.

[@georgelord7108]

Maybe your next week on could be Lidl or Morrison’s if you have one near by or if you can get them to deliver. As an after thought maybe even Iceland after all it might all be frozen but mums go to Iceland 😂😂

[@thetruthwillout9094]

Wow, holyfuckballs. I bought your book Viral a week ago (it sounds really good on the back so thats why i bought it but haven't had chance to read it yet) and this comes up as a recommendation for a vid so I decided to watch it. It's either a fucking humongous coincidence or Google really are watching us. Anyway, I've watched a load of your vids today and loved each one in a strange way 😊. Do you have a PO box that once I read your book I can send it to you to sign for me?

[@squinqz8bp230]

"holyfuckballs" you sir, are amazing.

[@s125ish]

Cos you bought it online and it's picked up. My phone listens to conservations and then suggestions come up later spooky

[@thetruthwillout9094]

@@s125ishDon't be so presumptuous, I actually bought it in a second hand book shop, I only picked it up because it looked brand new.

[@LUVBOTZ]

PB&J is pretty easy to eat if you *actually* put jam/jelly on the bread, which you didn't. I would also recommend putting seasoning in your tomato sauce, or else you're just eating a can of tomatoes over your pasta.

[@BryanMinnix]

Can you please explain the "Nicely Spiced for jackets or rice" on the Chili can? What does chili have to do with a jacket?

[@astralynex2439]

Some people are weird and have chili as a jacket potato topping. Freaks.

[@BryanMinnix]

@@astralynex2439 Ah... Chili on a baked potato isn't that weird. I simply forgot that I've herd Mike refer to Baked Potatoes as Jacket Potatoes.

[@abarrett3919]

that lager was about the most depressing looking item in this series XD

[@krzychuka]

one basic beer please

[@IggyBoiOutOfSpite]

Hoping you do a Morisons savers next

[@indiac-c9700]

Can you work out the price per portion next time? Like if cheese cost £4 but you only use an 1/8 of a block then it would be 50p for the serving

[@michaeladamidis9969]

I don't understand why you needed the oven to have breakfast.... Cereal,tost,juice, yoghurt etc

[@liamm5799]

No milk or butter

[@michaeladamidis9969]

@@liamm5799 he's broken the rules for milk already :) And he's had tost without butter just jam or honey.

[@N7Biotic]

Morrinsons Savers or Waitrose Essentials please! :) I haven't actually tried any of the Morrisons savers range due to not having a Morrisons anywhere near me! Used to live off the value range in any shop I lived by when I was a student 😂 Maybe you could Including washing liquid (washing machine liquid) to see how good the products are? And instead of alcohol 😂

[@Stoudman]

chili rice and cheese! that's also a popular dish in the US. Random note.

[@alisonclark75]

Mike do either a week on what i normally eat or a week on the serving suggestion. That will get views!!

[@lucy.laufeyson.]

love this, you could try using supermarket basics food as a vegetarian/vegan 😂

[@stephenward2743]

Honestly the packaging that belittles you for buying the cheap shit is quite clever, makes you want to spend the extra cash on the premium product and sets your expectations lmao

[@andyhart6588]

Can’t wait for a next week on Mike

[@jpjpvds]

Do a week on "not from the supermarket!" Only fresh cooking from local bakers, butchers, fishmongers and whatever shop that isn't part of a chain!!

[@drunkenhobo8020]

If you want something current, how about a week on no single-use plastics? Everything you buy must be bought either loose or in packaging that doesn't contain plastic. And that doesn't mean a week on solely frozen fish fingers.

[@PeachsTheFox]

What about a week on ONESTOP brand items ?

[@Rob-mi2qp]

Awesome little series keep up the good work, do aldi or lidl next

[@alexc9985]

Do a week on takeaways! You could do Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Italian, English, American and Turkish

[@pingu090]

I have a suggestion - try huel for a week, it's a meal replacement drink that claims you can just live off the stuff without eating any solids permanently (they want to convert people to liquid food), it looks interesting and there are different flavours you could try to make the videos interesting

[@BeeinTX]

So, what is a hob? (I’m American)

[@korm7875]

Would you do a vegan week at aldi or lidl? ?

[@MonkeyMelissa3]

A week on alcohol (all liquids consumed alcohol)

a week of alcohol and red meat.
