you're right, the full prices look scary! i keep seeing prognosis about second wave of inflation later this year. and wondering with anxiety how much more the prices could rise.
I do that with green onion bottoms, and right now I have 2 bottoms of romaine lettuce and a celery bottom sitting in some water and starting to put roots out!
WOW Karen the original price of the roll for over £5 made my eyes water. I definitely couldn't afford M&S original prices for sure. OMG smoked salmon flakes and that chicken. If you cook the chicken it will keep in the fridge for upto 3 days. The baking camembert is really nice if you add garlic and rosemary before baking. I don't know if you can freeze it but I do love it. Lidl definitely got my vote. Enjoy your bargain buys. Kind regards Angeline ❤️ xx
Hi Karen, the camembert cheese will freeze and a great way I use it up is to make a pizza with either an onion relish or roasted red capsicum (I've used a chutney also) with sliced camembert on top, worked also in a toasted roll or you can add it to a tart.
We got an Aldi TGTG box , tonight , there was 4 left ,so We just bought one to enable others , and it was a magnificent box , we also got a great £1:50 fruit and vegetable box from Lidle, ( It had a few packets of broccoli spears in, so we had enough to share with other families. See that Salmon we had some in the freezer , and made broccoli spears and salmon Quiches . Yummy . The Camembert we make Tartiflette with . We mix the Tartiflette Cheese with Colliers Cheddar 225 g £1:79 from Farm Foods. Because Robochon is very expensive so the Camembert and Cheddar is an adequate compensation. At Christmas I was off colour , and couldn’t face a Traditional dinner , so we had made a Tartiflette as a stand in if needed. So glad we did.
Hi Karen! Wow! Great deals! No clue how to bake Camembert. Know the sandwiches at the tiny local store are very high. When I go, it's after 2pm. My favorite breakfast sandwich, if available, is marked down from $4.49 to $2.00! That's what I have for dinner. I get two if they have them= 2 dinners for me. Biscuit with sausage,egg and cheese. That's the only bargains they have but I think of you when I buy them! 😁
Enjoy your chicken and you can also bake the Camembert in the air fryer for 10-15 minutes at 180 C and enjoy it with baguette slices or potato wedges 😊
Met a friend in Haskins gardencentre this week. They were selling sandwiches there, they did look well filled and tasty, but at the cost of £10.95! I still can not believe that is real. I hope i was mistaken. Unreal. Didn't have one ofcourse but made my own at home at about £0.40.
That Aldi bag is amazing. I wish Lidl and Aldi did Too Good To Go here in the Algarve. A few local hotels do it but the pick-up times are always so late for us.
I started getting TooGoodToGo surprise bags after watching what you unpacked. Around here (North Hertfordshire) Aldi definitely do the best bags for £3.30 at the beginning of the week. They try to make sure you can make a least one proper meal out of the contents. On Monday I got steak, a chicken, veg and fruit so very generous. Thank you for the videos.
Just came from the store, and prices stopped me in my tracks. Some stores are worse than others. I bought some extra for the shelf - some canned peaches in juice and extra canned milk, an extra loaf of bread, but everything else was normal, but I still spent $119. I don't buy processed foods if I can help it, with the exception of organic bread and yogurt. But this should last me a week and a half to two weeks.
Karen, that camembert would be amazing swirled in a hot pasta sauce or as a pasta sauce thinned out with some milk/water...so there's a lot more to do with that than bake it. I regularly add soft cheese of some kind to sauces and it's a game changer!
Yes indeed we got 7 Gorgonzola , gave 2 x 2 away left with 3 , and put it in things like Cauliflower cheese with Colliers Cheddar £1:79, the huge Cauliflower we got out of a Lidle £1:50 box , it was so large it made two/2 Cauliflower Cheeses. But we always find a substantial delicious meal to add the other cheeses to. Although Camembert and a Cranberry Sauce is delicious , I think that what Karen had planned when she mentioned cooking it.
I had never had Brie or Cannon beer cheese. In my early twenties a friend from school. Taught me how to make it. We take the oven to 120 to 180°. I'm patient I take it to 120°. Turn off the oven put it in a baking dish not metal. And leave it for 15, 20, 30 minutes. So delicious. I always leave the outer layer on. Then when I can lightly put my finger or the end of a spoon slightly smuch it. It is ready to cut in quarter and open or in half an open. Depending on how many people are there to help you eat that yummy soft runny lovelyness. I don't need any help eating one whole wheel :-) I think they're 4 1/2 to 6 oz here in The States, in this area of Florida. delicious :-)
I wouldn’t have a Greggs bag given to me now , they can be disgusting , I got one and I got one/1 sausage roll , 1 rock hard plain round shortbread biscuit, I threw it on the hard floor and it still didn’t break. 1 very sad Egg Mayonnaise sandwich (inedible) it was disgusting, never again ! We get Cooplands TGTG bags they are far superior to Greggs TGTG. With things like a large Yorkshire Curd Tart etc . (Although when we get loads of TGTG Cottage Cheese from The Food Company we make our own in the Pie Maker . But Cooplands are as nice as our own.
I'd say cook the chicken (I left my one til the next day.... All out windows were open when I opened the bag 🤢 but the camembert..... Raw veg or better still, toast couple of crumpets and dip. Yum. Xxx
Nice little haul... Check what you can and can't freeze too... If you can freeze camembert then you can bake them at leisure... I've got to tell you this... I made 8 soft white bread rolls on Thursday while the boy was at college... Followed tutorial, turned out perfect... next time I'm just splitting the mixture into 6 instead of 8, make them a little larger, my next experiment are the milk rolls... Then cinnamon buns... You really can't beat fresh bread... I want to learn it by second nature, so I can make it wherever I go x lol x
this veggie granny freezes everything it all mixes in your tummy anyway lol true , i want the cheese ummy also i use jam jars to freeze,and you can see the contents,
I have never seen these kinds of deals here in Canada. What a wonderful idea. A lot of food gets tossed in the dumpster rather than given away or sold like this.
@@ashleybosvik3031 I stand corrected. I would have to drive 1.5 hours to take advantage of it so I probably won't use it but I'm sure it helps lots of people.
The problem is with these Too Good To Go things is it is mostly used by items. How is it going to last unless you eat it all in one day. I am even more cautious with use by stuff after my dad got very bad food poisoning eating some used by tat which went off on the day it needed to be eaten. Apologises for the rant lol.
That first box, the prices aren't even a bargain at reduced prices. Lidl and Aldi are cheaper than that at their full price. For example a pack of bread rolls is only around 50p and if you go and get the savings when they are reduced, I managed to get a pack of 6 bread rolls for 15p at Lidl the other evening. Today I even got bread, meat and cake reductions with big savings mid-afternoon. Those good-to-go reductions are only good if you are able to eat up all the products. Sometimes you get things that you can't get through, such as multi-packs of coleslaw, and 5 packs of Camembert! (seriously!). Camembert also has a high water content and shouldn't really be frozen. Snack packs of fruit are total waste of money imho. I think sometimes it's better to go to the actual store and pick out the bargains that you actually want, you can sometimes save more money that way rather than ending up with things such as way too much cheese or things like Rosemary that you may not use but are still paying for. xx
you're right, the full prices look scary! i keep seeing prognosis about second wave of inflation later this year. and wondering with anxiety how much more the prices could rise.
Oh, you can root a section of the rosemary and have a plant. :)
I do that with green onion bottoms, and right now I have 2 bottoms of romaine lettuce and a celery bottom sitting in some water and starting to put roots out!
WOW Karen the original price of the roll for over £5 made my eyes water. I definitely couldn't afford M&S original prices for sure.

M&S have some lovely food, but there prices are so expensive
I wish our local stores did these. Not only economical but fun as well.
The items in this bag are not in my budget range. I suppose it’s still in someone’s budget or they wouldn’t be able to sell this stuff.
Really nice bag of items !!
Hi Karen, the camembert cheese will freeze and a great way I use it up is to make a pizza with either an onion relish or roasted red capsicum (I've used a chutney also) with sliced camembert on top, worked also in a toasted roll or you can add it to a tart.
evening nice catching up with all you folks its like im having a chat over the garden fence lol ,
The prices were high on your first bag because it’s a garage shop and you pay a premium. Heather
Good haul. I was so shocked today going to Tesco and finding out that the large box of Maltesers were now £5, and the tiny box £2.50...Ridiculous.
We got an Aldi TGTG box , tonight , there was 4 left ,so We just bought one to enable others , and it was a magnificent box , we also got a great £1:50 fruit and vegetable box from Lidle, ( It had a few packets of broccoli spears in, so we had enough to share with other families.

You just pop the camenbert in the oven. It goes grey inside. My son and I just dip crusty bread knho it.
Wow that chicken is so good and straight into the air fryer x

charging that price keeps people in jobs i suppose but most of us can not afford it, no more immigrant workers needed here got it
Great bargains for sure. Will you be demonstrating how to bake camembert?
That Aldi bag is amazing. I wish Lidl and Aldi did Too Good To Go here in the Algarve. A few local hotels do it but the pick-up times are always so late for us.
Camembert on crumpets it is! 😋

The first bag gives one person lunches for a week. Amazing bags

You hot some lovely bits from aldi csmeberg nice with a sprig of rosemary and a bulb of garlic pushed into a slit at the top of tge cheese x
As far as I know, we don't have 'To Good To Go' boxes.
Yummy :-) oh so yummy. All of it.
I got one Lidl bag today. €0.75 for 1,6 kg of greens! 2 romaine lettuces included, while each would cost €1.20!!!

Good hauls. I’ve always found our ones great value. We don’t have Lidls or Aldi ones though.
I love the shape of your air fryer. Mine is round and not as efficient.
You got some great deals on those boxes! The chicken looks like it will be delicious!
their chicken caesar wrap is heavennn

Great bags. I have 2 Greggs bags to collect tomorrow which shall be fun.

Was that Inveralmond M&S garage. We got one 3wks ago,it was rubbish,yours was so much better.
I have never seen these kinds of deals here in Canada. What a wonderful idea. A lot of food gets tossed in the dumpster rather than given away or sold like this.
Canada does have a Too Good To Go app
@@ashleybosvik3031 Where is it available?
@@ashleybosvik3031 I stand corrected. I would have to drive 1.5 hours to take advantage of it so I probably won't use it but I'm sure it helps lots of people.
Canada also has a Flash Foods app
@@ashleybosvik3031 I must live under a rock lol.
Brilliant well done
Nice haul
You did well on both, K
The Aldi one was amazing! The chicken is great, and all of those camembert! Enjoy 😊
Looks like you'll be inviting the neighbours round for camembert and crumpets, Karen!
Good for you .
The original price shows me how much our groceries are marked up. Look at that profit!
Quality haul
thing is this is an m&s garage, and all garages are extortionate on food prices
I got a greggs one first time theother week and was very disappointing. Got 2 sandwiches and 2 plain glazed donuts.
👍👍
Hi Karen
Omg, your prices in England are scary😢
The problem is with these Too Good To Go things is it is mostly used by items. How is it going to last unless you eat it all in one day. I am even more cautious with use by stuff after my dad got very bad food poisoning eating some used by tat which went off on the day it needed to be eaten. Apologises for the rant lol.
Too Good To Go are not in my area , yet(?). I do pick up markdowns, but the things are not as good as yours.
You wouldn't like mmacrays 😢
First ❤😊😊
Gluten intolerant, apples.,salmon, chicken in bag that is what is o.k.
I'm highly allergic to onions so a lot of that I wouldn't be able to eat. Our co-op doesn't do them anyway.
