A Week On Tesco Finest DAY 1

[@Em86500]

You should do a week on whatever Grace buys you. She can then buys you some wierd and wonderful things depending how nice you are to her. X 😁😁😁

[@kingarthur83rd]

that could actually be hilarious.

[@SigEpBlue]

I'd watch this.

Wow, I didn’t know i wanted to see this, until you suggested it, fantastic suggestion.

Oh yes!

“A week on Grace”

[@jammyc3442]

K but tesco finest has a £10 meal deal which is mains, side, pudding and wine/beer or a soft drink which is usually a 6 pack. Could have saved some money there.

[@CompaSystem]

That's true but the drinks aren't branded with the Finest label, so off limits by Mike's rules.

[@jammyc3442]

@@CompaSystem some of the wine is and I believe so are the presse's. Only know because I worked there for 8 years.

Mike's eating habits are literally why the entire world takes the piss out of British food. Dear world. This is not how most of us live.

[@ImGonnaLive4eva]

Quoth TheRaven but it is how most of us eat. The amount of people that actually cook and create their own meals is shockingly low

[@presterjohn71]

This is exactly how plenty of people eat. I would say about half of my work colleagues eat like this. I am one of the few people I know that regularly cook from scratch and that's mostly because I am tight rather than for any other reason.

[@kateschmid2889]

You guys have some amazing fish and chips though. I had some in a pub when I was over there and it was delicious.

[@Xighor]

His eating habits are good compared to mine I live off Microwave Meals, Frozen Pizza and Snacks

[@davidlewis1787]

Sadly, you are wrong, but I salute you for knowing how to cook and eat well

[@Cocogomez]

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SUFFER! How dare you eat decent food for a week.

[@kingarthur83rd]

It's only a precursor to the next series "a month of being broke as shit because of the Tesco finest week"

[@tree427]

His bank balance is suffering

[@davidlewis1787]

He didn’t. He ate salt and sugar and modified starch and hydrogenated vegetable oil and preservatives and cheap meat in expensive looking packages

[@Cocogomez]

@@davidlewis1787 let me guess... You only consume grass fed, pasture raised, hand fed by the local farmer, humanley slaughtered meat? And veg is bad because of antinutrients ext?

[@Beriorn]

Next up is A Week On Nothing because Mike spent all his money on this week.

[@VelvetTeacake]

A Week On nothing but what he already has in his cupboard would be interesting. And free.

[@josephrolando5616]

or a week on begging for Money.

[@lolavonwrinkle1617]

A week on what Mike can find in bins

[@tendersheep667]

Haha a week on starvation and whining.

'Tesco Finest? Are you bloody made of money?'

[@Jadey]

It's easier if you don't eat double the portion you're supposed to like 2 fishcakes lol🤣

[@OlEgSaS32]

his patreon probably helped cover the costs atleast partially

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

Buerre D'Isigny isn't made up it means Butter of Isigny-sur-Mer which is the normandy area of northwestern france. the butter is made from the milk cows in this region.

I’m reading your book and so far I’m really enjoying it. Didn’t enjoy explaining what it was about to my co workers but it peeked one ladies interest! I can’t help but giving him your voice I don’t know why,it’s bloody good mate!

[@SteveInScotland]

Why do you always undercook things?

[@lifeguard2564]

It’s a meal that keeps on giving.

[@LonesomePrarie]

[@ryanlamb9489]

My family overcook things to make sure I dont get food poisoning

[@rutter1ify]

@mipmipmipmipmip what's that meant to mean??

[@esthermeya7090]

😁😂 hilarious....not all of us undercook food lol

[@Villidren]

Just a heads up - the Caramelised onion sausages/burgers are incredible

[@nathanstracey2847]

The prices are eye-watering, it is a shame that often the 'finest' products dont live up to the cost. All the best Mike!

[@cooltom3000]

Could NOT stop laughing at your monocle and posh accent, cracking me up!!!

[@StarmanDX]

Congrats on your book :]

[@nickers2k10]

Buzzing for a week on! 😂 love ur week on stuff 😁 xx

[@selinanoob8184]

I worked in a Kerry foods factory in Burton on Trent (Staffordshire) that made all the Tesco finest meals after I left school. They had a staff shop where you could pretty much do your months shopping for about 20 pound a month. If I remember correctly the Curry's are about 30p there. Even as a broke ass student I would not eat that shit. I seen a guy drop a tray of chocolate cakes once there and just pick them up and ship them. There was also a issue with someone intentionally putting bits of rubber gloves in meals we never did figure out who it was. Oh and there was a job putting lids on to the ready meals , it cut your fingers to pieces. I often seen guys with bleeding fingers and there rubber gloves cut by there nails on the finger tips bleeding into the food. Most wouldn't report it because we would have to stop the entire line and destroy all the food. The most disgusting thing there was a wellie room that had wellies provided for you. Often you would be putting on warm wellies that someone before you had just done a 12 hour shift in. Then you would take them off and someone else would stick them on. Enjoy your food though 😂😂.

[@supermaxx1]

Hahahahahah

[@davidlewis1787]

Fabulous post... the Finest actually

[@hogfather22]

The secret to wearing a monocle is spirit gum around the frame. This means you don't have to be squinty or have to shove the thing into your socket to get it to stay.

[@patapatasel]

If I remember well, there used to be a "mix and match'-deal on Tesco's Finest like, 'A side/A main/A dessert and a drink for 10 Pounds". Didn't you take advantage of that? - Also do a week without sugar and THE CAVEMAN's diet!!! (congrats on the book!)

[@abzhuofficial]

George Carlin's food/advertising rant on 40 Years Of Comedy come to mind when I'll be watching this Week On, LOL

[@invoke4485]

So for that price from Aldi I can get 6 sausages with 97% pork

[@harrierjames7727]

Honestly Mike. If you put your mind to it you could do a pretty awesome Alan Partridge impersonation

[@fookdatchit4245]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY a proper week on. Fanks v mooooooch Mike 4 taking the time out of ur book launch, the obligatory autographs and audience with the queen etc, 2 make an excellent post. I wish you all the very best.

[@BobMonkeypimp]

You don't have much of an education, do you?

[@GothicKittyMadness]

£2.50 for sausages, £1 for bread and £2 for butter.... do people actually think that's expensive?? That's pretty good value in my books! :/

[@xoGullysMumox]

haha thats exactly what I thought 😂

[@bradoldridge9410]

In comparison to what he normally has to eat during week ons with the cheapest products on the market, average/slightly above average price products shock him. Obviously you can grab a whole bag of like 20 frozen sausages from most supermarkets that taste alright.. Or grab some nice butcher sausages, but you only get about 6-8 for the price of those 20.

[@bradoldridge9410]

​@michael browne I don't understand the point of your comment. We all know the nutritional values of those dirt cheap food items are poor.. No point did I debate that 😂

[@celticbarry9877]

It's not expensive individually but in total. £20 he spent on food that day is a lot just for home cooking. He could have got takeaway food like a coffee, sandwich and donut from greggs for breakfast, a big mac meal for lunch nd then a curry for £20 and not have to cook anything.

[@Adrastia]

I don't know the equivalent in freedom bux, but $2.50 for not frozen sausages is pretty cheap. Of course the cost of food here is crazy. Isee people loading up carts in overpriced places like Target and have no idea how they can afford it. I sure can't.

[@lauraelizabeth541]

Hahaaa the monocle and accent is brilliant. Excited for this 👍🏻

[@manchestertart5614]

Piss taking crap

[@SamyLovesSam]

Nice, I like Tesco and often the finest range is reduced to a decent price if you buy it on sale

[@SamyLovesSam]

In Ireland, there is not a lot of vegitarian choices though

[@Appleaddict22]

Monocle people shop at Harrods foodhall, not Tesco lol

[@davidlewis1787]

Actually wives of Saudi Princes and oligarchs shop at Harrod’s, the aristocracy shop at Fortnum’s

[@LatinoAaron]

Well done Mike. An excellent return to week ons. Love it!

[@syncops834]

[@laurabutler264]

You should give Basil his own week on, and get him to review the cheapest vs the most expensive cat food from different shops

[@clareginn5419]

Prince William does another week on....

[@BobMonkeypimp]

So it's not just me who sees it!!

[@edbadyt]

Prince William has no hair and is too inbred and stupid to string this many words together. Also his teeth take up 70% of his face and he looks older than his dad.

[@Scottishlass90x]

😂😂 you never fail to make me laugh love your videos Mike 👍❤️

[@markiangooley]

I now eat mostly saturated fat. The evidence for its being bad for the heart is shaky at best. I wish I could get beurre d’Isigny that easily here... usually it’s just Kerrygold Irish butter. So leeks equal posh ready-made food? Does Tesco’s Finest include ingredients like raw potatoes, raw meat, eggs, flour? Or do you have to eat mostly ready-made food, which is usually more expensive?

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

markiangooley I’ve recently purchased Tesco finest potatoes because they’re really buttery (so don’t need much adding to them for mash.. cutting back on certain things), so yes, they do indeed do Tesco finest in veg / fruit etc. But since it’s Mike.. I’ll be surprised if we see cooking from scratch !

[@johsa2162]

Like it. Those sausages are lovely. Had them myself. If you like Haddock fish cakes I recommend you try the co-op ones..

[@10191927]

😂 you blew your food budget for the entire month? Damn Mike, that fancy food better be worth it, and it better last.

[@lufferov]

The fish tasted fishy... Who'd have thought?

[@tahloucunningham1098]

Not all fish has a strong flavor.

[@SamyLovesSam]

As far as I know, you haven't done a week on weight watchers yet. They have decent frozen meals, soups and deserts. Maybe a week on that would be interesting. Also cause I noticed that Mike likes to bend the rules at times. Items can only purchased from the weight watchers range. So if he gets veggies from the supermarket, that would not be allowed. If he uses salt, butter, etc that is not from weight watchers also not allowed. He is allowed to drink tap water but no drink that isn't from the weight watchers range.

[@loulou7963]

Ooooh you are spoiling yourself this week. Posh posh ! 💓 the milk ! Channel island proper moo cow gold top ! 😻

How about a week on toast? You can have any topping you like (like egg, beans, marmite), but every meal is toast based.

[@Chris-hm8py]

You've jam packed your fridge for the week but some of that will have gone off by the end of it. Why can't you buy midweek as well and then add up the cost. You can also cut down the amount that you eat as well.
