SAVING SO MUCH MONEY ON FOOD | MAKING DO WITH FOOD IN THE HOUSE | Aldi Haul & Fridge Update PT. 3

[@Sopherina]

Hello! Part 3 of the series so far. I am loving doing this, it has really saved us a lot of money so far AND made us a little bit more experimental with our meals. Are you doing the same as us? If so, any tips?? ☺☺

[@helenmckeown7430]

Doing the same Sophie whilst also prepping a bit in anticipation of prices inflating on the likes of pasta, rice, oil etc. Like you, we had plenty of food in the fridge, freezer, pantry but then would still go out and buy more because I wasn't meal planning effectively. we are a family of 4, 2 adult/ 2 teens. Last two weeks, I have made food stretch a whole lot further and have had far less waste. I'm also making packs of meat e.g family pack of chicken breast, stretch over 2 days / 2 meals instead of using it in just 1..bulking each meal up with veggies..I'm wasting less, using up my veg and everyone is still satisfied. thanks for the inspiration 💓😘

[@carlarue87]

Loving this series. To be fair I would do this but we don't actually have anything in the freezer to use up. We tend to eat what we buy but I feel there probably is still ways I could do better x

Trying to x

[@johnneladderley2474]

Sophe you have created so many great meals with just using all the food in your house. I am so grateful you started this series, you're just the best 🤗.

[@Sopherina]

Thank you so so much beautiful!♥♥♥

[@tj97x]

Absolutely loving this series! Really helping me with meal ideas and more cost effective shopping x

[@lindaanderson9428]

Hi Sophie, can I ask where you bought those glass jars. Enjoyed the video x

[@sherylbrierley2079]

Yes I was going to ask too, they look very handy

[@Sopherina]

Of course! I found them from a business on Amazon, just type "glass jars bamboo lids" - just so you know I am adding all of the items I use and find on Amazon to my own saved lists etc as it's much easier: www.amazon.co.uk/shop/sopherina

[@loveconnection1118]

Hi Sophie, Loving this x Next time you need Mango Chutney - 75p home bargains I thought I'd share the tip xx

[@Sopherina]

Ooooh, fab tip! And just in time, I am off to Home Bargains tomorrow! 🥰🥰

[@annalevermore7857]

like your breakfast ideas. I like porridge with blueberries. Sometimes i buy the cheap porridge oats and feed to birds and local ducks

[@Sopherina]

Oooo that's such a cute idea!! I am going to do that with Orin 👏🥰

[@ravenblack2262]

Orin is just adorable.

[@Sopherina]

♥️♥️

[@rachaelandthings]

Frozen corn on the cobs are great! I would definitely recommend buying a bag.

[@Sopherina]

Ahhhh!! I’m definitely picking them up next time then! Thank you xxx

[@juliespencer1164]

Hi Sophie, yes it's good to save money, I have been using up food in the freezer for the past 6 weeks, only been out and bought what I needed and fresh veg. we do eat meat occasionally so I have cut the pork in half and made 5 joints in total which will last us another 6 weeks, I tried the mushroom leek and pea pasta it was amazing. many thanks for sharing your meals with us. xxx I normally buy chicken breasts portions from Aldi, divide them up and make 5 meals from them. this saves us money. xxx

[@Sopherina]

👏👏 Brilliant! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@robingill7363]

Great series. Just a few observations to help you save even more money. For dried spices and herbs you should get thru. From Asian/Indian supermarket or the section in Tesco/Asda/Sainsbury's - you can get big bags for less then £1 so pence per gram so much cheaper than the jars. Just refill into spice jars or reuse jam/peanut butter jars. The asparagus/raspberries/strawberries were so expensive because they are not in season and all imported. They will be cheaper when British and in season (only a few weeks weeks to wait now). Also frozen berries are so much cheaper - why did you buy fresh raspberries when you had frozen in the freezer? Just thought I would share some tips to save even more money.

[@Sopherina]

Brilliant tips RE the spices and herbs!! I am not sure why I have not done that yet, considering how expensive buying branded items are! Thank you for this 👏 The frozen berries are quite often a lot more sour that buying fresh - which is why I bought both. Although, buying in season is something I normally do and I 100% vouch for, will be sticking to that in the future!

[@nesadcruz7840]

Nice use of what you have. Simple flavourful meals

[@rebeccakemp2176]

Would you be able to do some slow cooker recipes as it has been said that with electric and gas prices increasing, using the slow cooker is the most effective method of cooking to save money? Thank you 😊

[@loveconnection1118]

Wonder if that applies to the instant pot too, I'd imagine so tbf x

[@Sopherina]

Of course, it is something we are using more and more at the moment 👏🏼🥰

@@Sopherina I also wanted to know this so thank you ☺️ xx

[@janicegagnon2294]

I am working my way through as well, one tip is for some items to wait till it comes on sale if a more speciality or pantry item, and if I want to make a recipe but missing one or two ingredients I try and see what I could use instead.

[@helenmckeown7430]

love this series thank you Sophie. can you share the recipe for your Cajun chicken pasta? thank you 💓

[@Sopherina]

Definitely! We are making it next week and will be filming 🥰🥰

Hi Sophie ~ I’m loving these videos ~ really informative and great advice and tips ~ I saw you bought some radishes~ my friend roasts her radishes and says they are fantastic ~ I was wondering if you had tried them that way ~ I hope you have a great weekend ~ Sending love and hugs as usual to yourself,Lawrence and Orrin ~ Xxx

[@Sopherina]

I haven't tried roasting them but that sounds delicious and I may try that this week as I still have a few left in the fridge!! Thank you for the tip. Hoping you are well ♥♥

[@ericawaddle94]

Sophie, Yours had been the most practical of these pantry/freezer challenges that I have seen on KZbin. You've inspired me to do the same. I'd be interested to know how much money you saved during this period. Cheers!

[@josephineblanc9801]

Very good

Bless little Orren for getting tuna water into the floor.... At least he's not at the stage where he posts all your bank cards through the gap in your bath panel and they're reported as missing and then found about 10mth later!! 🤣 🤣 Welcome to Mummy World xx

[@kristinesharp6286]

The problem is buying the turmeric, yogurt, paprika, etc… the first time to do it that way the low cost meal becomes expensive. If not used up it is expensive.
