Hi Guys, thank you so much for joining in with my first ever premier video :) I loved chatting to you all.. I have now lost all of your comments so if I didn't get around the replying to you then I am so sorry.. I will try and find the comments and go through them all :) Thank you again for joining in.. that was FUN :) xxxx
I have been watching a show called Eat Well for Less and have been amazed by how many people spend too much money on food and what bad habits they have as families.Now your video it's exactly the opposite, you should go on the show to educate them, you'd be the queen of that show😉
If you buy onions they cheaper and on a day that you have a little spare time cut them up and then freeze them yourself ..would be even cheaper ...also home brand things and fruit and veg from a market stall is a lot cheaper also
Instead of the cheese try 2 eggs and a bit of parmesan next time ( you have to temper the eggs with some pasta water to make the sauce ) but its really good, my family love it.
I've just cooked the chickpea curry and me and the children absolutely love it, we will be trying the rest throughout the week, your videos are great, definitely deserve alot more subscribers. Thank your awesome content.
Just made the chick pea and rice curry. So tasty. Don't be afraid to nuts with the spices. I wasn't shy about the garahm masala in particular. I am also cooking a chicken I got reduced and will shred some of that up to have with it. Yum yum yum.
Garam masala is the best spice isn’t it :) I’m always more generous with that one :) so god you tried this recipe and enjoyed it :) that makes me so happy to hear :) xxx
Yes someone else told me this too..no think that’s great and I can honestly say I buy more value products now! I know that sounds like I was being snobby before and I kick myself for that.. rebranding can make such a huge difference :) xxx
I haves special onion chopping machine now which is amazing :) worth every single penny!! I also buy own brand food.. I can’t ever taste the difference either.. so I buy that or whatever is on offer :) xxx
Hello coucoulardtich👋I saw she had a £3 meals video too, if that interests you..Sorry tho if I'm suggesting something that may not be in your budget at these hard times 💞
also second comment i know, food in the US is so much more expensive! Cream cheese is like 2.50 here for non name brands and peppers end up being roughly $1 each.
I used to think using frozen onions and garlic was a very expensive way to cook but it's actually very economical.Also there is no waste. The chickpea and spinach curry looked so delicious.
It honestly isn’t expensive at all as I never use a whole onion or garlics worth of product so they always last me for about 10 meals which actually works out very cost effective :) xxx
Oh did I not do that in this video? I usually do!! Oh actually.. unless I’m just cutting them roughly for a traybake!! I didn’t know that’s where the bitterness is so I’ll defo be doing that from now on :) thank you :) xxx
I learnt this traditional carbonara recipe. It uses only 4 ingredients. Spaghetti, cheese, egg, bacon. Possibly add peas for some green is a good idea but you can get that really cheap. Just looking for inspiration for uni, have about £4 a day on food and i exercise a lot so I need a slightly different dietary profile to the average person. Great video, got my mind going on what I could do
Great recipe ideas here. Just to say when making a curry, if you fry the spices off before everything else then you will get a much deeper flavour to your dish x
I feel like you could have gone even cheaper if you were shopping at Aldi/Lidl!! And replacing the fresh onion/garlic with powdered versions, which you can easily grab for less than a pound in some shops!!
I did the spinach and chickpeas curry and both my kids and husband loved it . It’s a great idea for a meat free meal and to get the kids to eat more spinach . Thank you
Hi Kerry thanks again for your amazing recipes the carbonara pasta ( with turkey bacon ) and the chickpeas and spinach curry have a become a classic in the house . They are so easy to make , quite cheap but most importantly very tasty . We give you again a big thumbs up 👍👍
Aahh thank you so much for such a lovely message :) I am so pleased to hear you are enjoying these recipes :) that honestly does make me so happy to hear :) xxx
I’ve been searching for videos like this for ages! Im so glad I found you I’m a mum of 3 under 3 and is getting harder to think what to make for them and not go crazy, thank you for making it easy 😊
Without meaning to sound harsh , if u were really on the breadline and you didn't have all of this stuff ...you'd need to buy it so its more like at least a fiver - whole bag of peas ....whole thing of bacon for 1.50...whole bag of frozen onions...whole bag of this and that....when u could just as easily buy a single onion for less than 50p, a pack of cooking bacon -especially if she shops at tesco they sell it for about 75p, value spaghetti 20p ...use the creamfields stuff and you do not need fancy peas u can get value 1s they are about 55p. These recipes are great , but they are not reflective of a true price. The hearty food co is the rebranded "value" one -same as stockwells , sunnyfield farms...(or similar name). Shopping for a BIG family would for sure be more economical this way . But it is a very "middle class" guide, "a few pence doesn't count" i beg to differ madam when you are on the breadline it certainly DOES matter. But these recipes are ace , and are brilliant for those who want to reduce their spend , learn how to budget in a free way , and u r a mum on the internet putting out your view and doing a good job of it. So you do you,boo. Just wanted to point this out however. Constructive feedback , perhaps,rather than searing harsh criticism x
Well,it won't cost that little if you have to buy all ingredients, however I started subscribing you, because I really need some changes when it comes to my food spending
Yes of course it will cost more at the start but everything I buy I plan for so that each meal is £2 and by the end of the week I have used all of my ingredients bought :) xxx
Aahh so glad.. it’s actually LUDICROUS how cheap you can eat! I love cooking on a budget.. it makes me happy!!! Plus.. who wants to spend all their money on food when they can spend it on new kitchens and bathrooms right 🎉
Hi Kerry. Thank you so much for this video. Is there any chance that you would add the recipe for each meal in the description in the future? I know you’ve done enough sharing your ideas but when I’m shopping I usually just screen shot the recipe lists that I get from other channels. Thanks for these ideas x
Oh yes of course I will.. I have been doing this with my current videos but I’ll add them into this one too :) I’m so glad you enjoyed this video :) thank you for watching xxx
I have one good recipe I recently discovered kind of by accident. All you need is potatoes, some ham/bacon/grated cheese and any form of fat (oil, lard, butter etc) 1- Grease the bottom of a baking dish with the fat to prevent sticking and preheat oven to 200°C 2- Slice up the potatoes very thin, and layer them with the meat/cheese till you fill the dish a little higher than the top of the dish sides. Season as you go. 3- Top with a little oil/bits of fat and seasoning. 4- Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. If you like the top crispy, take off the foil for the last 20 mins of baking. 5- Serve up with some peas, carrots etc on the side and gravy 😋
I think I made it up myself actually.. one day when I had nothing left in the house and those were my only ingredients I just kind of threw it all in together and it turned out so well that it’s now my go to recipe :) xxx
This video is an absolute revelation!! Thank you for putting the time and effort with clear instructions on making those gem recipes. Not only I will be saving money, but I will be set with healthy eating!!!
Guess what’s on my meal plan this week?!..... giving your chickpea curry a try but we’re adding chicken. Can’t wait to try it. I’m loving these cooking videos. Xx
Yes it’s the same.. I always call it soft cheese for some reason but it is in fact cream cheese! England is beautiful.. definitely a must visit country :) 😘😘
Brilliant meals for lunch too, slimming world friendly. Much better than eating bread. Any one of those meals would be ideal to have as a fall back in the fridge! Jx
Loving this Kerry. Hubby has just lost his job and we need to cut back, so these ideas are great. Just need to find similar ingredients in France (where I live) but they won't be as cheap as Tesco that's for sure lol xx
@@KerryWhelpdale thank you! I wil have to go and hunt for them :) Also made the tomato pasta and it was so lovely! Looking forward to trying the curry tomorrow :) xx
Oh they are brilliant.. much better value for money than buying the peppers in packs of 3.. I think I got about 7 in my pack.. but it’s done on weight so I think it varies in each pack :) xxx
Kerry Whelpdale thanks, I’ll have to keep my eye out for these, as long as I can find a pack with lots of red,orange and yellow, can’t stand green ones!!! They say it’s the kids that are fussy
@@KerryWhelpdale thank you. Bought all the stuff in the video and was shocked when I went to pay and it was dirt cheap. Made the first meal and it was very good and filling. Thank you for the video and I look forward to more
Because for me I find them so much easier and quicker.. I never use a whole onions worth when I cook so for me to shake a few out of the packet it’s much more cost effective than if I used a whole onion xxx
So pleased to see ways of using creamfields soft cheese, as I bought some and didn't fancy it on a sandwich or toast. But will defo use in a meal. Great cheap healthy meal ideas 😋😋😋😋 Love these vids from you xx
Kerry Whelpdale Thank you, we have homebrand cream cheese, not as cheap as that but still, it looks good and easy. ( I caught you say what it was the 2nd time round , that’ll teach me to watch and talk at the same time). Cheers mate.
Love this video. The cheapness is a bonus but the quickness is what I need...and some are even one pots. AND healthy. These are like the holy grail of recipes. Hurah,
I have been cooking on a budget for years but frozen onions and garlics ? Freshis best and more spices and herbs are needed and more ingredients to make the meals more interesting
The frozen garlic to me actually has a lot more flavour than the fresh one does and it lasts for ever.. I only have to use a small sprinkle of it to get such lovely flavours through my food:) xxx
Man I wish I lived in the UK, these prices are amazing! Even the value brand in the states would be x2 maybe even x3 the price where I live! Still a great video to get ideas for some low cost meals!
Hi Kerry - great recipes ! With the spinach & chickpea curry - when you add the rice for the last half hour do you pop it on a low simmer heat ? Or turn the heat off so it essentially steams for half an hour? Thanks xx
Quick recipe and very good for dairy free meals too as we swapped the cream cheese to dairy free one. We tried the tomato sauce (I added an old carrot instead of throwing it away) and was a hit. Will definetly do it again. Trying chickpea and spinach one pot rice tonight! Thanks for sharing :-)
@@KerryWhelpdale Dinner last night was even bigger hit than tomato pasta! My toddler asked another portion.... so will definitely be coming a new favourite in this house. And so easy to make! Thanks! :-)
Aahh I always try to reply to comments :) your views and support mean so much to me and it makes me so happy to know that videos like this are beneficial and can help a little :) thank you for watching 😘😘😘
Thank you so much for the great tasty meal ideas for a family. I’m always looking for new budget friendly ideas to feed my family. I’ve saved this vlog to come back to when I do my next food shop 👍🏼
Aahh I am so so glad you enjoyed this and it’s helped you with a few more meal ideas :) I’m going to do another one of these videos very soon too :) xxx
Love your recipes. Is it possible that you consider listing your ingredients in the description or on a link in your social media somewhere.... would make life a little bit easier for me :)

I have now lost all of your comments so if I didn't get around the replying to you then I am so sorry..

I have been watching a show called Eat Well for Less and have been amazed by how many people spend too much money on food and what bad habits they have as families.Now your video it's exactly the opposite, you should go on the show to educate them, you'd be the queen of that show😉
Haha oh I would SOOOOO love to go on the show and help people.. I also love watching that show :) xxx
i love that show!!
If you buy onions they cheaper and on a day that you have a little spare time cut them up and then freeze them yourself ..would be even cheaper ...also home brand things and fruit and veg from a market stall is a lot cheaper also
Yes I do that now and it’s so much better.. I love bulk chopping and freezing them.. I feel a sense of achievement:) xxx
Actual quick, cheap and easy meals for mums love it!
So glad you liked this and I hope you like the rest of my meal ideas too :) xxx
My thoughts exactly! So many people say they’re recipes are cheap but one of their meals is like half my budget for the week! Hahah
Thanks this video is brilliant for family meals, but also students on a budget!!
So glad you liked it and hopefully these meals will come in handy for you :) thank you for watching 😘😘
Yeah, meal prep for 3-4 days if you are by yourself.
Instead of the cheese try 2 eggs and a bit of parmesan next time ( you have to temper the eggs with some pasta water to make the sauce ) but its really good, my family love it.
I've just cooked the chickpea curry and me and the children absolutely love it, we will be trying the rest throughout the week, your videos are great, definitely deserve alot more subscribers. Thank your awesome content.
Aahh thank you so much and I am so glad you tried the curry :) such a winner dinner! Thank you for your comment :) xxx
I’m confused about the chickpea curry because you never put any curry powder?? Should I add that?
Just made the chick pea and rice curry. So tasty. Don't be afraid to nuts with the spices. I wasn't shy about the garahm masala in particular. I am also cooking a chicken I got reduced and will shred some of that up to have with it. Yum yum yum.
Garam masala is the best spice isn’t it :) I’m always more generous with that one :) so god you tried this recipe and enjoyed it :) that makes me so happy to hear :) xxx
@@KerryWhelpdale it's brilliant. And on a budget it's ideal. Thank you for sharing x
That garlic bread is a Tesco value brand. Tesco have rebranded there value range to make it look more up market.
Yes someone else told me this too..no think that’s great and I can honestly say I buy more value products now! I know that sounds like I was being snobby before and I kick myself for that.. rebranding can make such a huge difference :) xxx
Use a food processor to chop your own onions then freeze. Also branded frozen pea is a rip-off. I buy Sainsbury's own that tastes the same.
I haves special onion chopping machine now which is amazing :) worth every single penny!! I also buy own brand food.. I can’t ever taste the difference either.. so I buy that or whatever is on offer :) xxx
Finally! You wouldn't beleive how long I've had to search for some trully budget idea that aren't junk food. Thank you.
Aahh I am so pleased you found me then :) I hope you like all my future foodie content too :) xxx
Hello coucoulardtich👋I saw she had a £3 meals video too, if that interests you..Sorry tho if I'm suggesting something that may not be in your budget at these hard times 💞

also second comment i know, food in the US is so much more expensive! Cream cheese is like 2.50 here for non name brands and peppers end up being roughly $1 each.
Tesco value rebranded as the Hearty Food Co, hence why the garlic bread is so cheap!:)

I used to think using frozen onions and garlic was a very expensive way to cook but it's actually very economical.Also there is no waste.

It honestly isn’t expensive at all as I never use a whole onion or garlics worth of product so they always last me for about 10 meals which actually works out very cost effective :) xxx
Can I make a recommendation, cut the white bits off the pepper, that takes away the bitterness and give an overall better flavour

Great recipe ideas here. Just to say when making a curry, if you fry the spices off before everything else then you will get a much deeper flavour to your dish x
Ooh really? I didn’t know that.. I will 100% be doing that next time :) thanks so much for the tip :) 😘😘
No problem, hope it helps xx
You will see me doing that now in future :) xxx
Bacon is sooo expensive, here, in the USA. Can you substitute it with something else?
Yes of course.. you can use ham instead.. if you fry the ham a little you can get it nice and crispy :) xxx
I feel like you could have gone even cheaper if you were shopping at Aldi/Lidl!!
And replacing the fresh onion/garlic with powdered versions, which you can easily grab for less than a pound in some shops!!
Yes 100% could go cheaper if you should in those other shops :) It’s amazing how much you can save if you meal plan :) I love it :) xxx
Hi, I’m from Australia. Thank you for the video! Very nice! Just wondering what ‘soft cheese’ is?
So glad you enjoyed this :) soft cheese is the same as Philadelphia:) xxx

thats pretty good i've heard frozen vegetables have got more vitamins because there better preserved due to the freezing process.
Yes frozen veggies are so much fresher than non frozen ones as they are frozen straight from picking so retain all their goodness :) xxx

I reckon you’d save more money (and reduce plastic waste) if you used fresh onion and garlic.
Yes I do that now and I’ve got a special chopper now too which makes fresh onions etc my go to :) xxx
I think you meant the peppers were 22p each... unless there were 10 in a bag
Yes this was a bag of cooking peppers and you get between 8-10 in a bag and mine had 10 in it.. this is a brilliant way to buy peppers :) xxx
You should have your own TV show. Im sick of people saying healthy food/cooking from scratch is more expensive than fast food.
I would so love my own tv show :) no way is cooking from scratch more expensive.. that’s the cheapest way I say! Xxx
Thank you darling!
Well,it won't cost that little if you have to buy all ingredients, however I started subscribing you, because I really need some changes when it comes to my food spending
Barbara Cogiel yeah but the initial outlay will be cheaper in the long run.

I’m not sure if it is or isn’t but this is just my take on carbonara :) xxx
@@KerryWhelpdale it looks good I'm just a weirdo when it comes to onions that's all lol
Adding cumin and chilli powder to the chilli would add more flavour 😀.
Yes totally agree :) xxx
All the meals look delicious and the best but they are quick and easy for us busy mums x
I know exactly! I am all for quick and easy meals :) xxx
I have one good recipe I recently discovered kind of by accident.
All you need is potatoes, some ham/bacon/grated cheese and any form of fat (oil, lard, butter etc)
1- Grease the bottom of a baking dish with the fat to prevent sticking and preheat oven to 200°C
2- Slice up the potatoes very thin, and layer them with the meat/cheese till you fill the dish a little higher than the top of the dish sides. Season as you go.
3- Top with a little oil/bits of fat and seasoning.
4- Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. If you like the top crispy, take off the foil for the last 20 mins of baking.
5- Serve up with some peas, carrots etc on the side and gravy 😋
wondering how much would it cost today
Thank u, loved this video!! Xxxx
So glad you enjoyed it :) thank you for watching xxx
Wow these are so so brilliant! Will definitely be sitting with a notebook and watching again!
I’m so so glad you enjoyed this :) I hope it helps especially at this time :( keep save and well 😘😘
Did you make the spinach and chickpea curry up yourself or is it followed from a recipe? Would love to see an actual recipe for it? Thanks! X
I think I made it up myself actually.. one day when I had nothing left in the house and those were my only ingredients I just kind of threw it all in together and it turned out so well that it’s now my go to recipe :) xxx
lovely share..hope you don't mind me telling... some of your ingredients are cheaper in aldi. it will be less 2 a meal
Yes I am sure you can.. and if you don’t buy frozen too.. but I don’t use a whole onion etc so a bag of onions will do 10 meals for us :) xxx

I’m so glad these will be helpful.. I think we use about 2 of these meals a week and it brings my food shop right down :) xxx
What does “flip it up” mean?

How many peppers do you get in the cooking pack? I’ve never seen those before
Oh they are brilliant.. much better value for money than buying the peppers in packs of 3.. I think I got about 7 in my pack.. but it’s done on weight so I think it varies in each pack :) xxx
Kerry Whelpdale thanks, I’ll have to keep my eye out for these, as long as I can find a pack with lots of red,orange and yellow, can’t stand green ones!!! They say it’s the kids that are fussy

Hehehe I always think that when I start cooking and then realise I have a white jumper on!! Haha xxx
Shame cant add a pic . I made the carbonara tonight but put sweetcorn in and cheese on top but have 3 adults and 3 children so cost 3.50
Aahh that’s amazing.. for feeding 6 people £3.50 is a bargain :) thank you so much for letting me know :) xxx
@@KerryWhelpdale I'm trying the pasta sauce next time
Why would you use prepacked vegetables like onions or garlic?

Xxx
Great ideas Kerry. Only me and hubby at home now so for me it will be half price! Amazing ideas as we get stuck for ideas and they're so easy xx
Aahh yes so £1 meals!!! Perfect :) xxx
Love your recipes! My husband and I are vegetarians and I can't wait to make some of these great recipes!
Oh these are all great for vegetarians :) I hope you enjoy them.. let me know how you get on :) xxx
Carbonara is my absolute fav I’ll definitely be trying this version! X
It’s a nice different version with no eggs.. it’s soooo nice.. it’s my kids favourite :) xxx
That’s not a carbonara but being cheap and nutritious, looks okay x
I have just come across your channel, searching for budget meals. Everything looks delicious 😋!
Aahh thank you so much for finding me :) I hope you enjoy all my meals.. I cook ok a budget most of the time so hopefully you will enjoy them :) xxx
I have been cooking on a budget for years but frozen onions and garlics ? Freshis best and more spices and herbs are needed and more ingredients to make the meals more interesting
The frozen garlic to me actually has a lot more flavour than the fresh one does and it lasts for ever.. I only have to use a small sprinkle of it to get such lovely flavours through my food:) xxx
Man I wish I lived in the UK, these prices are amazing! Even the value brand in the states would be x2 maybe even x3 the price where I live! Still a great video to get ideas for some low cost meals!
Please do more like this!!!! Absolutely loved it thanks so much...just need a bit of (small purse)piration!!! Xx
So glad you liked it and I will of course be making more.. I love making videos like this :) xxx
Hi Kerry - great recipes !
With the spinach & chickpea curry - when you add the rice for the last half hour do you pop it on a low simmer heat ? Or turn the heat off so it essentially steams for half an hour? Thanks xx
Carbonara with no egg?
Probably the last place you'd see a guy but here I am!
Hi :) Thanks so much for coming over to my channel xxx
91,750 views Kerry impressive !!
Thank you :) I think knots a great video for people who want to cook healthily but on a good budget :) xxx
Quick recipe and very good for dairy free meals too as we swapped the cream cheese to dairy free one. We tried the tomato sauce (I added an old carrot instead of throwing it away) and was a hit. Will definetly do it again. Trying chickpea and spinach one pot rice tonight! Thanks for sharing :-)
Oh I am so glad you are trying my recipes :) that makes me so happy :) the chickpea curry is delicious .. let me know what you think of it :) xxx
@@KerryWhelpdale Dinner last night was even bigger hit than tomato pasta! My toddler asked another portion.... so will definitely be coming a new favourite in this house. And so easy to make! Thanks! :-)
Aahh so so sooo happy :) xxx
I did the spaghetti carbonara the other night for my misses and I think I did a good job. So thankyou for the recipe!

Your recipes are delicious and you are very smart!🥰
Thank you so much :) xxx
Mmm those meals look pretty tasty Kerry. You are really influencing me now with your video..
Im so glad you like the look of them :) xxx
Wouldn't it be cheaper to invest in a garlic crusher and just buy bulbs instead? ( legit question)
You get more garlic for you money with the bag
Thank you so much! I didn’t think I could feed my family any more cheaply than I am already, but need to, so this is just brilliant. 🤗
Aahh I am so glad you enjoyed this :) I have another one of these coming out next week so hopefully I’ll give you even more ideas :) xxx
