  • Welcome to my channel!
    Todays video is all about budget boards.
    I went shopping at Aldi (low end) and Kowalskis (high end) with a budget of $20 at each. This is what I created.
    Which would you enjoy more?
    Fig&Blue is a small business I created back in January.
    I create Cheeseboards for the Twin Cities, MN.

    Thank you for not deducting the portion you didn't use from the overall costs, that drives me crazy, lol. Both boards look amazing but I do like that you have leftovers with the Aldi board for the same price.

      I agree with you. That bothers me too. Good point!

    Very creative young lady. Both of them are perfect in every way. I love how you got so creative at the expensive store and went for the salad bar! I would never have thought to do that! BRAVO!!!!!

    I would eat both, in one setting, LOL. You make this look so easy and you are so creative. Hope you put out more video's than just 2. I am really impressed.

    Both boards looked beautiful, but I thought the budget board looked so inviting and perfect🙂

    Amazing things about this video
    1. Both boards are priced the same. The high-end board isn't just more expensive or bigger.
    2. Tips for getting creative. It's simply about managing the money.
    3. NOT deducting the price of leftover portion, cz seriously, I can't buy it for the price of the used portion.
    4. A manageable size of the spread. Shows that cheese boards don't need to be humongous.
    Loved it.

    Both boards look amazing. You are an artist. Of course, with Aldi, you can make 2 boards or a double-sized board for 4 people, so it's a better value overall.

    I have to make a charcuterie board for culinary school and I am terrified; I've never made one before, I don't even know what they are to be honest. I stumbled across your channel and I am so glad that I did. You are a great teacher and your boards are beautiful. I'm no longer afraid for this class. I'm confident with what you have shown me, I'll be able to maintain my 4.0 with no problems. Thank you!

    Not sure if anyone mentioned this or not but put a towel underneath your cutting board and it'll help it not move around so much on your countertops.

    @MarciMinnick-Heard 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great ideas. I also am a grower so am able to add herbs and edible flowers for color so I usually opt for the Aldi version of things. Had a client who wanted a much higher very exclusive board and charged $200 to set up and style and she bought all ingredients. Win/win!!

    @staceykersting705 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    WOW! these are both great. This gives me an idea on budgeting. i get together with a couple friends and it looks as if the budget's usually about $25 for what most ppl bring, so this idea will be perfect! I usually get in the store and start throwing everything in the cart. I'm thinking this and some chips and homemade dip ought to do the trick!

    I’ve just started watching your videos. Thank you so much. You are clear, friendly, informative and your boards look amazing. There’s no way I would be able to tell that you bought from Aldi. I appreciate that you said at the start of the video, the boards were for 2 people. I’m always stuck on how much to buy for 10-12 people. Also, it’s stumps me how many varieties of cheeses, variety of meats, as well as crackers that I need to have. Love watching your videos. Keep them coming.🎉🎉
