We do Fakeaways in my household every Friday. It's so much cheaper. You can prepare them much faster than a driver can deliver them, and the fakeaway remains hot lol 😅🌝💚
The Aldi's near me in the U.S.( So California).Doesn't have this much Vegan food. It's also much more expensive. Wish our Aldi's were more like yours in the UK!!
Awesome video and what a great idea. I did a $30 grocery budget challenge for 1 person, 5 days of breakfasts lunches and dinners and didn't get nearly as much as you guys did with a $30 budget. It was insane
I HATE pickles in my burger. I Always remove them. But I’m ok with the finely chopped onion McDonald’s put it EVRi burgers. However I have large slices of raw onions in my burgers.
Heck! This is incredible. I only get takeaways for convenience in all honesty - have started to not enjoy them, but I live in a flat with three other girls and our home routines are almost identical. We all eat around the same time, so makes it hard to cook all the time! Also, your Aldi seems WAY better than mine in York!!!
Another awesome video Family Freedom comparing Takeaway vs Aldi. The sound is good quality and thanks for fixing it. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Katie, ❤Bob & ❤ JoJo. I am a pickle person.
WOW!! You two did an amazing job on that take out meal budget. 6 meals for one take out price... Amazing!! Thanks so much for sharing, you have opened my eyes and I'm sure some others too :)
Yay! So excited for this, and more restaurant/takeaway options. I'm an adult now, but as a child I was 1 of 5, therefore eating out seemed impossible on a tight budget. I'd love to see Katies hacks and budget ways to still be able to eat out/take out, and not miss out I retract that, you didn't get a takeaway😔
Love your videos ur learning me how to budget me for week food shopping including cleaning stuff washing powder and body wash used cost me £252 now I'm learning to budget more thanks you so freegang x
Wow, this really makes you think! Well done Bob & Katie.. I'm still Vegan but the sound of some of them "fakeaways" and the price differences were unreal. Well done for creating this and for the idea... Off work tomorrow so I'll be off to Aldi and choosing something that you've picked up 💚💚💚
@@FamilyFreedom sorry I'm at work, got called in but only for half a day to cover as I've done 5 14 hour shifts this week so will go after work.. what would you recommend? Xx
Great videos guys I used to bye macdoles every Friday but got to expensive for now for family of 4 so we make our own much better and least it's not cold and food missing xx
I love pickles in burgers and sandwiches. They go nicely in salads, as well, like potato salad, pasta salad, bean salads, and standard green salads. My grandmother always used to enjoy pickled watermelon rind, which I’ve never tried but sounds intriguing.
I love pickles! When I was pregnant I would always go up to McDonald’s and ask them for a portion of pickles because only theirs would do the craving 😂❤️ But my god how crazy is it that you got 6 different fakeaway for the same price as that 1 takeaway! And if you use puff pastry the Mac Donald apple pies are actually pretty easy to recreate yourself at home! I was missing them and made them with gluten free pastry and I had to stop myself eating all of them they were so tasty!
Hey Shauna! We hope you had a good birthday 👍 That's so funny about your pregnancy cravings making you want MORE pickles!!! 😂😂 Thanks for sharing the idea about making our own apple pies, they sound great. It sounds like we could keep eating them all like you!! 😂
Great idea to prepare all your meals and saveing and choose what would work together and looking ahead 👍🏾 would like to see some meals thanks for sharing take care and Just Keep Rising 💚☝🏾
Hey family Ashlynn from cape town south africa I love that I do that too I ask the kids what takeaways they want n make it myself it taste better half the time for less money bt u got so much meals for so lil money n its the plant version our McDonalds or most takeaways does not have that option in s.a
#livebutnotlive from my living room I cannot believe it cost £43 for three of you things definitely gone up so expensive you got way more than takeaway very helpful video as don’t release how much spend on things until look at it thank you for this video and advice as well
Fast food is ridiculous here too. I just ordered a takeout pizza and sandwich and loaded tots plus tip for 40 bucks. We have an italian food place where for 25 bucks we get enough food to feed 2 of us for 3 days.
Hi family freedom hope you are well and having a good day! Great video idea! Makes sense now when reading the comments why the video wasnt appearing on the telly yt 😂as apparently there was no sound🤷♀️. I only get mcdonalds if im out and about and no other option for food i try to take packed lunch but sometimes its just easier to a quick mcdonald's in a hurry. I was thinking maybe to add on the electricity bill on to list of cooking the items😂😂 that also might add to the cost 🤔that might be me thinking too outside the box😂 Take care Just keep rising 💚🌿🌻
Family Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FreeGang! Yay!!! Commenting to you #LIVEbutNOTLIVE from South Carolina, USA (East Coast). This was a SPLINDID idea for a video!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Now we need the video of all the meals that you guys make for the "Take Aways" from the haul.... I'm hoping??? Lol. Remember FreeGang that it is $FREE.99 to SMILE😁 at everyone... ✨In those few seconds you may just change their ENTIRE day! A smile can be magic✨! #JKR
Well, this is a Brilliant one for sure! Just goes to show how much you got for the same price you would pay for a meal for three at MacDonalds! I never eat MacDonalds but my family does. I always say it is a large bill for what you get! You have proven me right! 😀👏👏👏👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nevermind the health benefits of no grease etc. I gave up takeaways for lent we used to get like 2 a week. It's better to have nice meal out every so often. Don't think we'll be going back after lent
Such a great idea for a video. Very interesting to see how Aldi does lots or similar things to the real thing. You guys got lots of yummy looking food and you matched them really well to the real thing and for £41 was so good for all that food #freegang #livebutnotlive #freedomfamily 💚
You can get the wrap of the day for 199 and add a cofee and it comes to 3.00 for the two of them and the wrap of the days seven day so you can can get a good choice over the week 🐝🐝🐝
Nobody from my family likes pickles , so all of us would take them out or order the burger without pickles ! I just went to the McDonald’s site to look what the equivalent to the meal that you typed in would cost in Germany and it would be a whopping 53,40€ !
me and my mate always used to go to macdees when we went out shopping and we stopped last year we go just get icecream or milkshakes we were hungary an hour later after the burger meal alot say this so saves money to
That is actually insane , in America people have had to turn their backs on Maccies and their scandalous prices . Buy some containers from home bargains and put food in those for kids . They will love the novelty of it .
I so wish prices were this great in the US! Aldi is by far the cheapest overall near me but I do try to shop sales at other local stores to make the budget stretch further. I feel I should add that we are a household of three with three very different dietary needs. There is a toddler who has food, aversions, and texture sensitivities. My husband has to avoid gluten as much as possible as well as tomatoes, onions, pomegranate, and plus has two have sugary snacks with him at work all due to sensitivities, allergies, and medical conditions. I personally don’t have any restrictions due to allergy or medical conditions, but I do try to stick to healthier options and lower sugar options where I can. This is made difficult when the cost of groceries at least in the United States is absolutely ridiculous. We try to stick to $75 a week. This does not include the cost of diapers or pull-ups, because we are working on potty training. This does not include the cost of baby wipes. This does not include the cost of pediatric shakes to ensure he is getting the proper calcium and calories in the day. This also does not include the cost of toiletries such as shampoo, deodorant, soap and toothpaste.
*Very interesting comparison- this was worth watching and learning -and seeing is believing 😮😮😮😮😮* If it suits you guys,you have to try the mcds hash browns dupe in Aldi- they are identical Best wishes xx
Take aways are so expensive 😫 when you put it like this it really hits home how much money ive wasted on take aways. Amazing video as always ❤ p.s i love pickles i have it with mostly everything haha but i dont like cucumbers its strange 😂
The McPlant burger is a Beyond burger - they sell them in most supermarkets and they are the absolute best veggie burgers . So if you bought them it would be exactly the same as the McDonalds burger and not just a look alike
my guess is that shopping will always be cheaper than takeaway and personally shopping aka fake away is always better than a takeaway❤live but not live from london❤hope you’re all well bob, katie and jojo❤
Im a new subscriber and i love your videos takeaways are soo expensive it's amazing how many different meals you got for the same price and I am a pickle person lol 😂
Hi guys. I’m an extra pickles , girl 😂 . I now cook homemade fakeaways so much cheaper. I love to cook Asian food, but do all sorts. I noticed you have a salt lamp. Just an fyi, I used to have one as well, but had to get rid of it. My cat suddenly started to get sick and myself or the vet could not understand why. I then caught him licking the salt lamp and it was that making him ill. As soon as I got rid of it, he was fine. Just letting you know as I know you have the cat indoors. Great video as always.
Hey FreeGang! Check out when we tried to live on £5 a day th-cam.com/video/wFcH0-SNqc0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sorting out the sound 😊❤
Hi love the videos guys you make me happy can you give me a shoutout please from DanielBarlow
Would really love to see more cooking vlogs, how you make vegan meals. Like day in the life of what we eat. Keep up the good work guys
We do Fakeaways in my household every Friday. It's so much cheaper.
You can prepare them much faster than a driver can deliver them, and the fakeaway remains hot lol 😅🌝💚
This is awesome haha
Good point about the heat. I've been so disappointed in the past with cold takeaway
The Aldi's near me in the U.S.( So California).Doesn't have this much Vegan food. It's also much more expensive. Wish our Aldi's were more like yours in the UK!!
Awesome video and what a great idea. I did a $30 grocery budget challenge for 1 person, 5 days of breakfasts lunches and dinners and didn't get nearly as much as you guys did with a $30 budget. It was insane
My family loves pickles so yummy
That's great 😋
lol when bob is looking at the camera im looking straight at him watching the video😅😂
You can't have a burger without pickles😂❤
Very true Wilma 😂💚
I do. I just can't do the vinegar taste.
I aways have extra pickles and my local McDonald’s gives me a hamburger box of them if I ask I love pickles
I HATE pickles in my burger. I Always remove them. But I’m ok with the finely chopped onion McDonald’s put it EVRi burgers. However I have large slices of raw onions in my burgers.
You can buy so much more in the UK than in the US! I'm jealous!!
Heck! This is incredible. I only get takeaways for convenience in all honesty - have started to not enjoy them, but I live in a flat with three other girls and our home routines are almost identical. We all eat around the same time, so makes it hard to cook all the time!

WOW!! You two did an amazing job on that take out meal budget. 6 meals for one take out price... Amazing!! Thanks so much for sharing, you have opened my eyes and I'm sure some others too :)
Thanks Mary! We're glad that you've found this video helpful and informative 😊
Aww feels nice to hear the sound now, gonna enjoy watching it fully excited for it
We're glad to have fixed it, thanks for your patience! 👍
Yay! So excited for this, and more restaurant/takeaway options.
I'm an adult now, but as a child I was 1 of 5, therefore eating out seemed impossible on a tight budget. I'd love to see Katies hacks and budget ways to still be able to eat out/take out, and not miss out
I retract that, you didn't get a takeaway😔
For example restaurant/cafes own apps, the too good to go bags you've had before, deals on a certain day of the week
peition to bring back katies tip of the dayyy
🤗💚
We don't have veggie options at ours
wow, this was actually more than i expected. I knew you’d get more but not this much!
Hey Tink 💫 Yes it’s crazy how much more you can get for your money 🤗
I absolutely loved this video. The amount of times I’ve ordered a takeaway and thought what I could have got with that money. Well done guys.xx
Thanks for the kind words Deborah 💚
Love your videos ur learning me how to budget me for week food shopping including cleaning stuff washing powder and body wash used cost me £252 now I'm learning to budget more thanks you so freegang x

Loving the uploads ❤
Glad you like them Rosie 🤗
Takeaways are so expensive especially being a university student this has really helped love watching your videos ❤😊
Wow, this really makes you think! Well done Bob & Katie.. I'm still Vegan but the sound of some of them "fakeaways" and the price differences were unreal. Well done for creating this and for the idea... Off work tomorrow so I'll be off to Aldi and choosing something that you've picked up 💚💚💚
Nice, glad you enjoyed the video Becky and enjoy whatever you choose at Aldi 💚🌱
@@FamilyFreedom sorry I'm at work, got called in but only for half a day to cover as I've done 5 14 hour shifts this week so will go after work.. what would you recommend? Xx
Well done guys
Thank you Rose 💚
and all of these will be a lot healthier than the takeaways too! thanks for helping me rationalise the takeaway detox lol
You're welcome! 👍
Awww now I can hear the sound love you guys ❤
Thanks for your patience! 🙏
Ice cream with the apple strudel would of been a good idea 😄 maybe next time
Great vlog idea that guys!!
It’s amazing how much take outs cost these days and so often it’s disappointing! X
So true! 👍
Great videos guys I used to bye macdoles every Friday but got to expensive for now for family of 4 so we make our own much better and least it's not cold and food missing xx

In it 3 takeaways for the prize of 1 think before you buy your next takeaway have 3 meals instead of 1
I can’t wait to which it I love your videos so much xx
Love a pickle in a burger.. but will eat them on its own lol x
Hi family freedom hope you are well and having a good day!

Thanks for letting us know William 👍
£43 is almost my weekly shopping budget! It’s crazy that a takeaway costs that these days. 😮
I know! 😃
I’ve noticed it’s a lot more expensive on the app then actually going in to McDonald’s
You can get the wrap of the day for 199 and add a cofee and it comes to 3.00 for the two of them and the wrap of the days seven day so you can can get a good choice over the week 🐝🐝🐝
Thanks for letting us know Irene 👍
Fun fact! They actually make kebabs with chips aswell it is a thing afterall called gyros I only likd kebabs with chips in😂😂
Nobody from my family likes pickles , so all of us would take them out or order the burger without pickles ! I just went to the McDonald’s site to look what the equivalent to the meal that you typed in would cost in Germany and it would be a whopping 53,40€ !

Pro Pickles. You have to... it's not the same without them. x
We agree! 👍
Extra pickle for me 😂😂😂😂
Pickles all the way👍👍
I hate pickles but love cucumbers.
Excellent example.
*Very interesting comparison- this was worth watching and learning -and seeing is believing 😮😮😮😮😮*
If it suits you guys,you have to try the mcds hash browns dupe in Aldi- they are identical
Best wishes xx
Glad you enjoyed it the video Glenda and thank you for letting us know about the hash browns at Aldi, we will be trying them very soon 😋💚
@@FamilyFreedom they’re so worth trying
My guess is that shopping is cheaper than takeaways.👍
Good guess Chloe 👌😊
we did a home made take away curry tonight, much much cheaper xxx
Nice! And probably tastier too!
Take aways are so expensive 😫 when you put it like this it really hits home how much money ive wasted on take aways. Amazing video as always ❤ p.s i love pickles i have it with mostly everything haha but i dont like cucumbers its strange 😂
Hi Family Freedom ❤👋🏻
Next video showing us the meals you made?
The McPlant burger is a Beyond burger - they sell them in most supermarkets and they are the absolute best veggie burgers . So if you bought them it would be exactly the same as the McDonalds burger and not just a look alike
That’s good to know! Thanks for the tip 🍔
my guess is that shopping will always be cheaper than takeaway and personally shopping aka fake away is always better than a takeaway❤live but not live from london❤hope you’re all well bob, katie and jojo❤
Respectfully, what is the difference between fries and chips? Is it the cut and thickness?
HI Kay, yes, french fries are cut very thinly and chips are cut thicker 💚👌
Thank you here we call all of them fries. So I was just curious.@@FamilyFreedom

In 1997 I would pay £2.88 for a regular big mac meal those were the days.
Love pickles
Hello. Love your videos. You are a lovely family ❤
Thanks Alice! 😊
Cringey more like
Can you do a comparison between a day eating gluten free and not?
fake away V take away would be fun!
That sounds like a great idea Rosie 👌😊
Bob let us 😂 lettuce joke 💚
Glad you liked the joke 😂
I love pickles
Man I wish the prices were this cheap in Las Vegas. 😅 I spend over $400 US for one cart full. 😫
Hey Team 💚 It's crazy how much prices vary in other parts of the world!! Hope you and you're family are doing well, your boys must teens now!! 💚
Live but not live from Columbus OH. USA . It's the same over here to eat out, plus it's not good for you.❤
I'm a pickle person. My family asks me "would you like some burger with those pickles/" I use so many.
Hahahaha!!! 😂😂
Can you do a video of you making these meals :)
There's no accounting for the lack of flavour or the time needed to prep the food. That's why people get takeaways.
Extra pickles
Hears a challenge for you have u herd of the comperney shop if u havant have a look up on it and see if u can do £30 food shop :)
Thanks for the suggestion Paige! 👍
