That’s a very expensive way to shop. I shop at Home Bargains, but selectively as some things are expensive, more expensive than other places and other items are great bargains. The only way to maximise your savings is to shop around. Keeping an eye on at the very least the prices of the things you buy regularly. 59p for a tiny tin of beans is a rip off.

Making your kebabs is a good way to eat cheaply and fairly healthy. From my local Tesco I bought a pack of 6 Pitta Breads for 50p.8 Tesco sausages for £2. Medium size cucumber for 70p. Red onion for 30p. Tomato's for 90p. White cabbage for 70p. £5.10p total. With that I can easily make 2 kebabs a day for 3 days plus use up the remaining veg for a salad.

Try it and see if you like it. As I said, it's cheap, stays fresh enough to eat for a week and as it's a tightly leaved cabbage, you can make half a dozen kebabs and still have some left over for a salad.

Although you can buy some cheap things in HB. It is NOT the cheapest place to get cheap version of foods. For EG. bean 59p but can just get a tin for 28p for 410g . 39p for oat bust when just pay 90p for a full 1 KG bag of oats. carrots 65p are 33p in aldi. would not get the Pizza for £1.49 since you can get bigger ones cheaper under a £1. tomatoes 55p Aldi 28p. Yes the cheese items are good price, the grated for £1.39 If all you can do is last 3 days for £10 then you are not trying I can and have too do far better than that. I am on UC. and have like £20 a week to buy all food and kitchen etc items with. So £3.33 a day that you did is far too much for 1 person.

£20 a week? Assuming you're living in social housing so no rent or council tax to worry about you get £369 a month for food and bills. Let's say your gas/electric/water was £200 month which for a single person seem reasonable, you'd be left with £169, even if you factored in phone/tv/broadband you can get decent packages for £30 a month - £139 left, more than £20 a week for food and kitchen items, no? Unless you waste money on luxuries such as alcohol, tobacco, drugs etc you should have more than that to live on. That said you're bang on about it not being the cheapest place for all items and how he thought half a tin of beans for 59p was a bargain was beyond me :D

Pro tip. Buy Tesco potatoes for £1.29. Spaghetti is dirt cheap in Tescos too. Ketchup. Also Eggs. Bread. Also they have 85p ready meals for some flavour. And a pack of Vanilla Donuts last days if you store them right. Hit up food banks..and sometimes local communty walk in groups do food cabinets for cheap or free. Lots of experience living on nothing. Cheese is cheap at tescos and goes well in a lot of stuff...also lettuce is cheap. Can last a week on that easily.

Genuinely you can do a shop at Lidl, look for reduced items and buy very basic things, own branded of course. Example a full tin of beans (your Branston tin was half a tin) is something like 26p. I'm also unemployed but even when I was making a very good salary, I'd still shop like that. Always check out the reduced stuff - the use by dates are a con - especially if you freeze/refrigerate things and at Aldi they often have 75% reductions!

You can live off just £5 a week in food in the short term if you have to, it wouldn't be fun, but you would live. Some people are even more savvy than that and could go even lower. You can buy 4 loaves of bread and a tub of butter spread and that would give you the calories you need and you wouldn't go hungry. I did an experiment myself and found that I could easily live off £15 of food for more than a week, there wasn't much protein, but vegetables are cheap, filling and tasty.

Defo shop around because Home Bargains isn't the cheapest for everything but you can definitely get by really well on just a few basic cheap food stuffs. Pasta (i get the GF stuff from Asda and it's still not that expensive), rice, lentils, eggs, chopped toms and whatever veg is abundant and cheap this season, will serve you really well. Use cheese sparingly, like the luxury it is these days and buy frozen fruit & veg for wizzing up smoothies for breakfast. That's a whole lot of nutrients for not a lot of money. Also - it's wild garlic season right now (March) get out there (do your research first obvs) and wizz a load up with oil, portion off with ice cube trays and bung them in a bag in the freezer and you have oil & garlic to start off any recipe.

From videos I’ve seen on YT of dollar tree budgeting, the US looks better than here in the UK. We have Poundland, where most things are now £1.25, seems dollar tree is also most things are $1.25. But from what I’ve seen dollar tree has a huge variety compared our Poundland. And bear in mind exchange rates etc

I'm a minute and 15 seconds in, and yes, you're doing something wrong - buying a premade pizza is not efficient. With the amount that cost, you could buy multiple weeks' worth of vegetables.

Tinned fish & rice are essential. I actually used that diet to get in shape and lost a good amount of weight while building a bit of muscle too!

When at uni I did a challenge as part of my degree and was able to have 3 meals a day for 1 month for £20. Batch cooking played a large part, though. I bought everything from Aldi.

When i wanna save money, i buy all my ingredients in bulk, like rice, pulses, spices etc, from the indian store, then my only expenses from there on out will be the fresh stuff. For eg, it costs £4.99 for 4.5 kg of rice from the indian store (it used to be 1.99 for 2kgs 😢). Since i cook for myself ( and im not a great routine follower, so sometimes i eat once a day, sometimes 2, sometimes i skip my meals when i feel nauseous). 1 cup of rice is enough for me. Then i make dal (using the pulses). I use onions, canned tomatoes, ginger/garlic paste and my other spices. The initial cost is high, but it pays off for a long time. I remember that i didnt spend anything for 3-4 weeks, not even for onions, since i pre made a huge batch of curry base, that i used with my lentils. Sometimes id check the Olio app and get potatoes or carrots and add them in.

You always come up with some amazing creative meals. I was sitting thinking, would it be fair to add some take out packets, like ketchup, butter, mustard, soy sauce and etc... (if you have any) those are actually free and it would give your meals a little more taste?? I know some people add that stuff to their challenges. :) Thanks so much for sharing.

Well the takeout condiments are not free as you are kind of socially obliged to buy at least something...and I don't think places take too kindly to people just taking loads of sugar tissues milk tomato ketchup etc

@@keithparker1346 I was not saying just run in and grab some, but when you order out save the extra packets they give you and use later. That way he has some flavor for his meals. And when he is doing his challenge use those because they are free, (already paid for when you ordered out.)

I've done this challenge and it was easy... Lentils 0.49p lasts 3 days. Bread 85p Potatoes 1.30p X4 tins beans 1.49 Carrots 0.59p Mushrooms 0.79p Eggs 1.20 for a dozen Cheese 1.79 a bag Stock cubes 79p Big Tin of corn 42p Tin tomatoes 25p Total is £9.96 You can make the following: 1.Cheese toasties 2.Beans on toast 3.Lentil broth 4.Potatoes and carrot soup (add stock cube and some Lentils. 5. Mushroom omelette 6. Tomatoes on toast. 7. Cheesy potatoes with corn. 8. Chip butties (and egg) 9. Lentil and mushroom patties. 10. Fritters with corn. 11. Cheesy scrambled egg 12. French toast with with side of Mushrooms and rest of tomatoes. There you go......... People need to stop filling up their baskets and spending money on food that they don't eat. Budget shopping is easy and all you need to be is more creative. The food above can last, and £10 can stretch..... If people stopped buying £7 coffees and junk food, budgeted wisely, and prepared proper food then they would realise that anything is possible. The elderly had to ration and didn't even have the ingredients above. People today waste their money and cry victimhood. I've had to use this method above to survive, and managed because I had no choice..... But when you have people that want luxury and who are greedy, then they'll always find an excuse not to buy frugally or cook food that lasts....
