For me, cupboard essentials include oil, salt, pepper, tins of chopped tomatoes, herbs of some kind (I have basil and parsley always), paprika, onion and garlic powder, pasta and rice.
I agree Onions should be put added to the essentials category..and I'm still requesting for Lawrence to share his KFC style Chicken recipe🤞🏾. Awesome meal ideas, can't wait to watch you cook everything. Take care and thank you for sharing.
Onions is definitely an essential for me. Always have onions in my fridge along with potatoes. Soy also another essential as well as Worcestershire sauce (or Henderson’s)
To me onions are a store cupboard staple and I always have them in. I keep saying I'm going to cook my own rice instead of buying the microwave pouches because I know it will work out more economical. Kind regards Angeline ❤️
These sound like great ideas! I priced out the list for my local US prices and it came to just under $50, which is still less than I usually spend. Thank you!
I always have onions at home , will be interested to see how you make your microwave rice in the microwave , can't make rice always by the microwave rice and it's gone up a lot so will definitely watch how you do yours , thanks for sharing your meals xxx
I use to always buy penne pasta and then one time they didn’t have it so bought fusilli. I just cant go back to penne 😂 fusilli pasta seems to cook better and taste nicer! 😂😂
Totally agree, onions are definitely an essential. Can’t wait to see these meals, so fancy your sticky chicken 🍗 and broccoli 🥦 pasta We use aldi so much more after watching your videos X
A good tip is too make much more rice than you need you can then freeze the extra . So handy to just get out the freezer and then just microwave for a few mins as needed .
@@sueparkes1819 you can buy frozen rice in the shops so what’s the difference . I’ve been doing this for ages and never had a problem . As for reheating normal fridged left over rice it’s ok as it’s no longer than 24 hours in the fridge . I’ve done lots of food safety courses . I’m 67 and still alive .
@@rosenamarshall5502 there is a massive difference. They put lots of chemicals in it to stop bugs etc. I was trying to be helpful but I see from your comment that you have taken offence. Many people have actually died from food poising from reheating rice and I was just trying to be helpful. Apologies if I offended you by doing so
All of these groceries (besides the chicken thighs, which seem oddly expensive for such a cheap cut of chicken) cost twice as much in the US, but its all such a good deal and great for meal prep! Under $50 is a bargain here so this defo helps for meal planning. Other than we cannot get proper mature cheddar in the states for even twice the price as back home, this food haul is brilliant!
I can't remember if you've ever said if you grate your own cauliflower to make cauliflower rice?? It's awesome and you must try it... Less carbs and also, if you put herbs and/or spices with it with certain accompanied meals then it's a game changer 👌 You will love it x
Whoo looking forward to seeing the new series of recipes! Some excellent ideas that can easily be made into vegetarian or vegan too. We have a variety in our house! So affordable too. 😃👩🍳🍝
Hi thanks for sharing this great video You know you were on pasta I am exactly the same I love bow pasta I know they all taste the same I just love theses I am glad someone else is the same as me lol xx
Yummo, im looking forward to few new meals this next week or so. I always think of cupboard essentials in these kind of recipes s things you only use a little of, i.e. salt pepper, herbs spices, soy sauce. BUT some times people use a pound of butter in their cooking in week, then its part of the shopping list. I use onions as much as much as you, it is a cupboard essential to me, but then so is rice, tinned beans, stock, lentils and tomato, I think they should be included in the cost of the meal, other wise suddenly a dish like chilli cost just the price of the mince. I hope thats clear, but either way, for me its a well priced, healthy ish cook once eat 4 times in a fortnight meal deal and Im happy to have 3 nights off cooking :)
I do always have onion in my cupboard but they rarely get eaten 🤣 I recently started getting hello fresh boxes and I keep being surprised by the “cupboard essentials” I’m suppose to have and don’t like flour and sugar and olive oil. 🤦♀️

Onion is 100% an essential, I always do oil, onion and garlic as the base of most of my dinners.
As do we! It’s the starter for so many of our meals! Xx

👏 🥰🥰

Blew my mind with the rice in the microwave! You can keep spinach in the freezer as well and it keeps fresher for longer! 😊
I can't imagine cooking without onion, essential for sure
Absolutely 👍 xx
Looking forward to the video, thank you xx

Good idea! Thanks😊
You shouldn’t freeze cooked rice hun it could be really dangerous 😊
Sorry only trying to help as I was a chef with all the food safety and it’s an absolute no go in terms of food safety. Never freeze or reheat

Hi Sophie and Orin. My husband and I were wondering if you still use Hello Fresh to have your "treats" rather than buying from a takeaway?
love the 25.00 haul some great meal ideas loving it. xxx
Thank you Julie, hope you’re well 🥰

I’ve always got red onions and peppers in the freezer as I throw them in most things!
I recently started to use(buy) frozen mushrooms,game changer
They really are! Yet to find them already frozen, if I do see some I’ll definitely be picking them up!
@@Sopherina Asda, Morrisons have them
