Hi Tilly. In the last 4/6 weeks, you have bought an incredible amount of food. I understand you are stocking up, where on earth do you store it all? I imagine a freezer of the kind you find in Iceland stores and a pantry bigger than my garage. 😋
@@gazza9463 HAHA I have not bought all that food for just us, and we actually only have a small store cupboard and a small freezer at the moment, I had planned to give 10% of the 2 big shops we did to the food banks, but we ended up passing much more of it on than that... and we also have aaa big family, so there are always hungry people to feed... but that's ok as it was bought with money we didn't expect to have. One day I hope to have a big store cupboard, but that day hasn't arrived yet! 😂😂
Thank you so much Alison! Yes, I really feel for you guys with the cost of groceries, we are really fortunate to have these type of prices available to us.
Fellow Aussie here, yes I agree totally and great that you would include fresh fruit and veg. So important. I really feel for young families and others with mortgage rates, food and utilities going up so much in our country also. kind regards.
I always try to get the essentials range but it’s not always available even though at my local Asda you are only allowed maximum 3 of each item, they fly off the shelves. I’ve never had the wheat bisks but I want too and the wash powder is fantastic value but not seen it. Thank u for this information xxxxx
Hello Marlene, we are quite fortunate, there is usually quite a lot of stock with most, but not all of the items, but there has certainly been a noticeable difference in the last few months, depending on the time of day too... The shelves are often stocked through the night, so first thing in the morning is often the best time where we are. ❤️💕 xxx
I REALLY enjoyed that video as I am about to go to Asda and I've never tried any of their essential range. Brilliant stuff and helping so many people to look again at what they spend their money on 🙂
Just found your video and watched them all, I usually shop at Aldi then pop across the road to Sainsburys but having watched videos on Lidl I’m going there to try there yellow brands,I thought Aldi was cheap but now I have seen the yellow brand goods I’m going to try them and yes I have been prepping for a few months now so are my two daughters, I have asked a couple of friends and neighbours if they are and there answer is,prepping what’s that and why 🙄do they watch the news,well it’s up to them if they think I’m nuts like you I do not care one eyeoter, if we don’t have a shortage which I don’t believe one bit it’s ok I won’t have to go shopping for a good while plus I have saved money. Thanks for your time I have subscribed so please keep videos coming I for one old lady really appreciate it and any cooking tips I will be grateful for. 🙏👍😀
Thank you s much Susan! The 2 shops I use the most are Lidl and Asda, they both have some excellent foods in their own brands... But just remember that the yellow label (just Essentials) is the Asda range. I'm so pleased your daughters are also prepping, like you said, even if nothing changes, at least we won't have to buy any more food for a while! 😃 Keep prepping my lovely! ❤️💕 xx
Amazing, I've tried a few of these and have stocked up as the quality is much better than I was expecting. I think that the likes of Sainsbury's will be feeling the lack of custom through their doors as a result of people discovering this range. I have no sympathy for them, as when food prices started to rise, they were always the first to hike the prices quite sharply compared to others. I wonder what they will hit back with and whatever it is, it needs to be better than their old rubbish basics.
It's amazing quality for the price for sure! I think perhaps some of the other supermarkets will be watching what happens with interest and perhaps concern!
Now that is what you call a good value haul, well done. I too am fussy about my cuppa, Yorkshire tea for me, good and strong. I can happily substitute everything else but not a decent cup of tea.
It's amazing value isn't it! I'm a Yorkshire tea drinker ... good and strong too... but thought I'd test this one, and it's pretty darn good... but not Yorkshire! 😘
Great haul Tilly 😃 I have an Asda delivery for late tonight (to get cheapest delivery ) full of ‘yellow food’ lol. I’ve been impressed by loads of it and I only started buying it a few weeks ago because of your videos 😊 xx
Fantastic Tanya, I'm so pleased you're enjoying it!! My theory is, even if people can afford to by the big brand names, why do they need to when this range is just as good. 👍 🥰 xx
@@rootofavalon3841 I totally agree. I truly think, why spend more when you don’t need to whether you can afford it or not. We usually shop in Aldi and have always found the quality just as good as the brands. Shopping the cheaper brands leaves more money in our bank for other things. I’m loving the just essentials range cos I’m saving even more money 🙌🏻 The money we saved on shopping this week we are off this afternoon with my 8 year old so he can fill a small trolly for the food bank. Shopping expensive brands wouldn’t leave room for us to do this in our grocery budget. Also, it’s my dads birthday soon and he doesn’t want a cake so the money we budgeted for that we are adding to our leftover food budget so we can buy more for the food bank. Have a lovely weekend 😊 xx
hello nice haul ❤ I have tried the yellow label from Asda especially the frozen fish fingers and frozen chips excellent quality for the price my son likes it
Hi Tilly.. another great video. I bought the muesli and porridge oats. I also bought sultanas and peanut butter ( all essentials) and I ad a handful of sultanas and a spoon of peanut butter to my muesli.. it's lovely. I have my little granddaughter staying this weekend so i made a chicken curry tonight ( i rarely eat meat but did tonight).. using the essentials Mild curry sauce with a pack of the essentials golden savoury rice. Granddaughter loved it. The curry was still too hot for me but the flavour and thickness of the sauce was very good. We had the essentials cod fishcakes last night.. they were lovely too. I think you have converted me lol. xxxxx
Hi Lisa, 👋 thank you, that does sound very tasty!! If you have any cream, natural yogurt, creme fresh (or anything similar) you could add a couple of spoons into the curry to make it a little milder. We had those fishcakes tonight, and we all really liked them!! I'm so pleased you're enjoying the Essentials foods, they are a real money saver! 😍❤️ xxxx
Hi Tilly. Enjoyed watching your yellow package foodies. You had Quite a lot of food for the price. The video was very interesting to know what was nice in the yellow package foodies. Thank you for sharing. Love to you Maria 💗 xx
I am green with envy! I cannot get over your low prices. Good for you! I hope the people there wake up and take advantage of the prices there. Plus, we have no tinned custard, nor chunky chicken in white souce, (sounds lovely). The cheapest of the rice/vegetable packets would be at least 1 GBP, and store-brand pasta is at least 1.28GBP. Store brand teabags are 3.26 for 100. Tinned pasta sauce is about 1 GBP. I got a deal on breaded cod last week of 6 for 3.35 GBP.
Well certainly no one can complain about these prices being high that's for sure, and the quality is excellent, so they haven't cut back on quality to make them cheaper. I really do hope more people will realise what a good deal these foods are!
Because of your videos, I decided to give this brand a try...the ONLY thing we haven't liked, so far, is the tinned mince (it was like sludge) but everything else has been wonderful. So very glad to have discovered your channel when I did, Tilly🥰
Ahh that's so lovely, thank you! We haven't bought any of the tinned mince yet, but I was actually thinking of getting it on my next shop to give it a try... I might give it a miss as it doesn't sound very nice!! 🥰
New Sub. 🤗 WOW, this is Brilliant. I've gotta get to Asda. I thought my Mixed Veg from Aldi was a Bargain at 89p, I dehydrate them. Why haven't the other Supermarkets jumped on this. 🤔 TFS Tilly, take care & keep busy everyone. ❤🙂🐶
Hello, 👋 I can highly recommend this range, there have been some items that we didn't like, but that is just because of personal taste... such as the white lasagne sauce, but their curry sauce is excellent. I think other supermarkets will be watching what happens very carefully! I also dehydrate the veg, we've only just bought a dehydrator, so the first time I did it I put it in from frozen because I had watched tutorials and they did that, but since the first batch I've always defrosted and pat dry with a towel first.❤️💕xx
@@rootofavalon3841 Hello Tilly, 👋 There might be some things not to our personal taste too, but there's probably nothing that can't be fixed, by adding a bit of Pesto or some Herbs & Spices. Lol. 👍 Yeah, we've had our Dehydrator for about a Year now, an Andrew James one, but our Ninja flip does 1 shelf too, (Our old second hand one conked out.) Yes, definitely defrost them, it speeds it up a bit, & less puddles. Do you have a Vacuum sealer, that's how I store mine, in the bags that come on a roll, they take up less room than Jars do. Glad to find your channel, not many in the UK. Take care of you and yours Tilly. 🤗❤🙂🐶
@@maxibake9323 Exactly right about being able to change the taste on a few thing! ❤ Ahh so you do get puddles with your dehydrator too, that's good to know because most people are saying there shouldn't be puddles and I wasn't sure if there was something wrong with mine! 👍 I have got a vacuum sealer, it gets used constantly and really helps us save some money by keeping food fresh for longer, as well as being used with the dehydrated foods after they have been conditioned. 😍I really enjoy food prepping, so it's a hobby that also feeds us as a family... winner winner dehydrated dinner!! 😂😂❤
@@rootofavalon3841 Yeah, we get maybe 2-3 tablespoons of Water in the base of ours, it doesn't go on the worktop or anything. I've heard a few get that, doesn't seem to effect it though. Vaccuum sealers are a brilliant money saver aren't they. Don't know if you like Mushrooms, but I get ready sliced Mushrooms, for the same price as whole ones in Aldi, they go straight in the Dehydrator, quick & easy, haven't tried powdering them yet though. I Love food prep too, I make Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Bread, & we Homebrew too. We don't have a Garden, just a Balcony, but I grow up & over the railings, all my Herbs & Salad stuff, & I do Hydroponics & Grow Microgreens indoors. Needs must & all that. 👍🌱 Take care Tilly, from damp Hampshire. Maxi. 🤗❤️🙂🐶
Hi Tilly What a good shop that’s really good value i must go to a Asda soon Has the fish got bones in I would certainly buy it if you say it’s nice Have a good weekend Tilly xx❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had the same fish fillets for my tea on Friday! Its a pity that no-one does a non-biological cheap washing powder. I'm allergic to the enzymes they use in "bio" for years i used to buy the brand with the "nappy" now i buy the non-bio from Lidl or Sainsburies depending on where i'm shopping I know i'm "safe" with both of them.
That’s unbelievably cheap, I’m a single person living in Dublin and I must spend €80 (£73) a week for my shopping in Tesco, we could do with an Asda over here. Although I must admit I’m a sucker for branded items, washing powder, toilet roll, toiletries are essential but maybe I should consider branching out on food items
I used to buy branded items too Alan, and never thought I would change, but a good few years ago I started to hear about Lidl and Aldi brands being really good, so I started checking a few out and really surprised at the quality, and now I'm always testing new low priced brands and a lot of the time I prefer them.
Morning Tilly. Great shop again, thank you for sharing. Have you had any problems with the washing powder taking some of the colour out of darks? And what is it like with whites please? Enjoy your weekend
Morning Anne, 👋 we haven't had a problem with it taking colour out, but we do always wash on 30° ... It's excellent for washing whites, and compares well with the big brands for sure! ❤️💕xx
I've shopped at Asda for so many years but I only really buy basics and this year my shopping has nearly doubled in price for the same basket. You might think this is just inflation but did you know that Asda along with most of the other supermarkets have made record profits every year. Aldi is a bit cheaper than Asda but even they have made a 400% increases in profits just in this year. Also Asda like the rest have been keeping the fuel price 40p\ltr above the retail price level for months now. Makes you think how greedy do they have to actually be?
Hi enjoying this vid how many meals in total of ideas you have I done a vid on 10 meals out of 6 items from lidls in asda I bought the fish not tried them yet as I want to do a review with asda JE chips /potato to make homemade with mushy peas are you finding you can get more 4 your money this way ? Than shopping at aldi lidls my daughter tried lasagne last night and left none so says something
@@rootofavalon3841 so sweet of you! We, for the moment will have no interruption of heat this winter, but heating oil prices are insane. I'm sure some folks will struggle. In most northern states, it is illegal to turn off heating during the winter. This will leave most with massive debt come spring. Control the expenses you can, keep storing food and essentials. Keep your chin up. Stay well, stay safe!!
I can’t see why people pay more for branded goods yes some foods may taste different but only because they have more additives in them ?? This can trick the mind💭into thinking there better but trust me there not … keep buying the brands … save money and put. The top brands out of business 😀😀😀
I think if more people tried the cheaper brands they would see how good they are these days! Also, the bigger named brands are the ones that are having the biggest % prices increases right now too, they're just going to price themselves out of the market for most people.
Hello, yes they do have a fish pie in the Essentials range, it's £1.45 and is 400g. I haven't tried it yet, although the reviews seem to suggest that it doesn't have much fish in it, but it does have nice sauce and potato. 😃 xx

We need Asda in Australia. You could feed a family of 4 using that food, with a little extra fresh fruit and vegies. Love your blogs.

It's an amazing range isn't it Suzie! I would definitely recommend everyone to at least try it if they haven't already! ❤️
The vegetable soup is really good.
I luv how you bought cleaner's (we never know...) - excellent haul @ an amazing price! Ty, Tilly💗

90p for the frozen meals is amazing value and they taste great

Amazing, I've tried a few of these and have stocked up as the quality is much better than I was expecting.

It really is, and yes, I wish this was available when my family were young, as things were particularly tight in those days.
lol £3.50 ffs stop smoking an drinking

Morning Anne, 👋 we haven't had a problem with it taking colour out, but we do always wash on 30° ... It's excellent for washing whites, and compares well with the big brands for sure! ❤️💕xx
@@rootofavalon3841 that's brilliant thank you very much 👍🙂💕
Great haul. Will have to go to Asda more. Their Scotch Broth is 55p compared to Morrison's 85p.
Thank you Bob. Oh really, I haven't tried their Scotch broth yet.
I've shopped at Asda for so many years but I only really buy basics and this year my shopping has nearly doubled in price for the same basket. You might think this is just inflation but did you know that Asda along with most of the other supermarkets have made record profits every year. Aldi is a bit cheaper than Asda but even they have made a 400% increases in profits just in this year. Also Asda like the rest have been keeping the fuel price 40p\ltr above the retail price level for months now. Makes you think how greedy do they have to actually be?
When i go to the local Asda, all the value stuff is sold out.
Oh that's such a shame Delia, all the ones around us have always got loads of this range in stock.
Hi enjoying this vid how many meals in total of ideas you have I done a vid on 10 meals out of 6 items from lidls in asda I bought the fish not tried them yet as I want to do a review with asda JE chips /potato to make homemade with mushy peas are you finding you can get more 4 your money this way ? Than shopping at aldi lidls my daughter tried lasagne last night and left none so says something
Your prices are SO much lower than ours in the states!
Yes I know, I really feel for you guys with the price rises going on. Although our fuel costs are astronomically high now, and rising all the time.
@@rootofavalon3841 so sweet of you! We, for the moment will have no interruption of heat this winter, but heating oil prices are insane. I'm sure some folks will struggle. In most northern states, it is illegal to turn off heating during the winter. This will leave most with massive debt come spring.
Control the expenses you can, keep storing food and essentials. Keep your chin up. Stay well, stay safe!!
👍
Unbelievable!
I can’t see why people pay more for branded goods yes some foods may taste different but only because they have more additives in them ?? This can trick the mind💭into thinking there better but trust me there not … keep buying the brands … save money and put. The top brands out of business 😀😀😀
I think if more people tried the cheaper brands they would see how good they are these days! Also, the bigger named brands are the ones that are having the biggest % prices increases right now too, they're just going to price themselves out of the market for most people.
@@rootofavalon3841 to true 👍🏼
Hi Tilly, do you know if Asda have a fish pie in this range, and if so have you tried it. X
Hello, yes they do have a fish pie in the Essentials range, it's £1.45 and is 400g. I haven't tried it yet, although the reviews seem to suggest that it doesn't have much fish in it, but it does have nice sauce and potato. 😃 xx
Let me guess, i think that you going to eat lasagna this weekend. 🤔
but is the nutrition good cos cheap food isn't good for you not putting it down but not for me
It's actually about on a par with most other brands of foods David, I think you might be quite surprised... I know I was!!
Yeah it is as many of these foods are actually made in the same companies as full brands. And if it stops people from going hungry then its okay.
@@scottishqueen9304 sorry no it's not cos if I want a pie I want meat in it not just pastry
@@davidgomm6043 The thing is this is what is affordable to many and many have no option and pies don't have that much nutrition anyway.
@@davidgomm6043 Each to their own , if you are able to spend more then you’re free to do so .
Bargain
Absolutely! 😃
