Round of applause from me 👏👏👏and how generous of you to make a contribution to others less fortunate, I agree about the “bargain rice” to cook it would cost far too much for those already struggling, my elderly neighbour has been in hospital 4 times in the last 6 months, each time she goes in we have her dog, there’s never any dog food just an odd tin, so I make sure I have extra food ready to feed him, I think some of us have been “preppers” forever without realising it, again congratulations on your £5 Friday videos, you will of inspired many.
An amazing amount that will really help some people struggling. Well done Tilly ❤
You could do a new series where you do £5 of household items and cleaning products to see what you can get and to help for when times get tough as well as the food
I tend to get household products along with the food items anyway, so I think moving forward I will just buy the things I need to top up what I use.
Well done ma'am!! Prices are getting ridiculous here in the states... please keep stocking your pantries! Our Grandmothers would have loved to have a well stocked pantry during the Depression and WW2. Please don't stop!
Hello, Ma'm. Thank you for sharing your multi-week haul. Very interesting. You are right: groceries in the US are much more expensive. Well done. 😊
What a beautiful young lady you are, when thinking of giving food away, perhaps you could find an elderly or disabled person that could really benefit from the help, particularly the easy-to-prepare items, like opening a can or packet for an instant meal. I watched a documentary on the poverty of the elderly and it was heartbreaking. When I started prepping I brought everything that I eat on a regular basis first and then stocked other items, I agree with you, everybody's pantry will be different. Much love to you.
I am so glad i came across your channel. This is exactly what ive been looking for so thank you from the North West UK
Wow that’s a huge amount of stuff.Just shows what you can do. Thanks for doing the price differences as well. I try & get a few items every time I get paid. 🤗💐📖
Great little haul, well done. You've obviously mixed it up on a weekly basis to keep the vids interesting but what i used to do when i first started out was to buy a tray a week, ie week 1 a tray of garden peas, week 2 a tray of carrots, week 3 a tray of potatoes etc etc. In my pantry i store my tins in industrial plastic totes rather than racking and sort the products by BB date so i have totes dated 2024, 2025 etc with each tote having a good mix of meat, veg and puddings. I keep my dried food in the kitchen in clip top jars, got loads of em in all different sizes running all along the top of the cupboards with the bigger ones for cereals and pastas etc on the worktops. For longer term i repack them in vac seal packs with 02's, and store in food grade buckets the shop bought packing is generally ok but far too much air in them for my liking. RE the comment about out of date food losing its flavour, while that may be true it takes much longer before it loses it nutritional value, i'd rather think of ways of adding flavour than binning. Also on your comment RE watching out for burst packets, i had this happen to me recently. I moved house a few months back and on transferring my stuff i did a check before putting them away and found a bucket of micro rice with a burst packet that had gone moldy. I disposed of the guilty packet, gave the rest a thorough good wash and put them in drawer in the kitchen to be used. Have you dipped your toe in the canning world yet? Or water bathing? And do you make your own jams and chuknies?
🎊🎉😍 It's like a preppers Christmas!❤ TY Tilly, for doing this content. Much needed and much appreciated!
This has been a great idea. It has been interesting to see how some of the prices have changed over the 24 weeks. I remember the video you did on the Asda value brands. The soups have increased 12p since you did that video. I priced up their Just Essentials range late last year and again a couple of weeks ago and noticed the majority of it has gone up in price. It would be best to donate to a food bank or school/college. Some individuals can be offended if they are offered a huge amount of goods. They feel they are being singled out for not having enough money or food to feed their families. Keep up the good work. 🙂
Watching this haul is like waiting for Christmas gifts to be opened! 🎉
Great job and thanks for spreading the news.
New subscriber here! What a fantastic idea! Sometimes it can feel overwhelming when you think about stocking up..committing just one flat amount per week can take some of that stress off. And I sure wish we had those Mug Shots here in the US-those look delicious!! Thank you!
Such a good haul, it's amazing to see what can be done in only 6 months and for a small amount of money. It could be nice to give some of the food to a family struggling to feed their children during the summer holidays, take care and love to you and your family xxx
What a FABULOUS stockpile .. LOVE it!!
Absolutely Fantastic Job !!! Thank you so much for bringing insight to us in these very hard times!! God Bless You Tillie🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Super job. I have two of those plastic cabinets in my garage with food in them!!!! USA here
Hi got my order from Asda a few days ago Asda butter mash potatoes was £1.55p the day after I was looking on the app and cudent believe the new price of £1.80p unbelievable cheaper to get a bag of potatoes and make your own mashed potato
Amazing Tilly. You are an inspiration to us all. God bless you. Xx
Thank you so much! xx
Aw I’m going to miss this every Friday but thank you loads of good ideas all the best xxx
Great video .Honest and informative. I have a prepping cupboard of about 100 tins and a few jars and packets. Not much but its my safety net. Thankyou Tilly x
I am very impresed. This is so much staff.. and while i personaly would buydifferent things- i am very very happy for you. The '£5.00 a week for preps' is great idea and i do teall about it to all my friends.
Thank you very much!
i do use the microwave wherever possible and just brown things under the grill , you can do corned beef and beans in a silicon loaf tin
Thank you so much for doing this Tilly. It is a very good example to get people started on a pantry. Yes we couldcall do a littke each week and have a store for emergency.
My mum always had a well stocked pantry especially in the winter. Living on the east coast we often had bad weather in the autumn and winter even if it was only rain or fog. It just meant that she could still make good meals without having to go out in it. We had milk on the step each morning and the green grocer divered her order friday morning. I have similar with milk and veg box delivered and it saves going down to the shop esp with the price of petrol and infrequencey of buses in our rural area. Wpuld not be without my store no matter how small.
Wish you and yours well and thank you.
That's amazing Tilly. Well done you. 😮
My opinion is that half to a food bank and half to a school that does their own food larder for parents who are struggling. I've heard that many schools have organised food larders. A few quick phone calls to local schools and I bet you will find one.
I hope that helps.
I have been doing that for years people used to laugh not in a nasty way but whi had the last laugh when covid hit ialways bought stuff that was on offer at the time been doing it about 20 years if I use something I always buy another to put back
Good for you Carol... I'm really hoping that more people are going to go back to how we used to have a store of food in.
Thank you for all your hard work really enjoyed watching.
Just an idea for you try cooking the savoury rice I use half savoury rice to half plain rice I add frozen mix veg cook in the microwave you can use the rice in stuffed peppers, burritos, have it cold with a salad or with chilli con carne. Left over rice can be put in the freezer then it’s ready to heat up in microwave just like the microwave rice! Xxx
Very nice video and food stockpile!
Excellent A+
What an excellent video !! Tilly you have inspired me I do have a cupboard with various things in ! But on a small scale ! I have worked from 16 til 58 ! I struggle now ! Believe you me 46 years of work I get £707 if my son didn't live with me I dread to think how I would feed myself ! But going to try and buy a fiver extra every week ! Keep the videos coming they are wonderful !
You have inspired me which magazine reckons lidls / aldi gone up the most which is why we switched doing montly at tesco/ sainsbury.
Noticed some morrisions savers items gone down today.
Also last week tesco standard pasta gone down to 75p bag.
Going to do £20 this week at 4 different supermarkets and then from August 5 quid a week until Jan as that's when mortage goes up ..hopefully can provide family extra months worth of food
Its interesting that quite a few questions were about best before dates! I suspect that quite a few of us are either long time "preppers" and have a buffer of food in case something bad happens or buy food when its cheap after its BBE. I am a mix of both and have had to thrown some long term storage items because they taste "bad" or use stuff up before i think it will happen! Hence why i replace protein items such as canned chicken with beans as i eat baked beans as a weekly thing but cant afford to buy caned chicken, and have 10Kg of rice using and 10kg as next but the stored instant noodles i had to throw away.
Where sre you havnt seen anything for ages hope all is well with you and yours❤
WOW Tilly, the 6 Months worth looks huge on the table like that.👍
200 items for £118 is fantastic. Just goes to show how it can be done, & Yes, people starting out can do it for £2 or £3 & get a good amount to fall back on.
I've been the Joke of my Family because of Prepping for Yonks, but they're slowly starting coming round to the idea of how to start a Pantry, so they're forgiven. Lol.
Great that your hepling people out with the Haul too.
Now youve got a whole corner shelf to decide what to fill it with. 🤗
Never knew Neil was a Drummer.🥁
Very well done to you Tilly, such a great mission.
TFS Tilly, take care & keep really busy everyone. ❤🙂🐶
Well done Tilly, live in Ireland, seems to be a swings and roundabout on prices here. Lidl corned beef here cost's around €3.50 (could be a bit more now). Tomato puree here went from 39 - 49c to €1.29. Tinned peaches are 99c no matter who's store brand you buy. Have always bought from offers so have an extension full of items bought on offer. Would say to anyone when shopping, when you find something you use on offer buy more of that item, won't go to waste and then allows the option when something else ends up on offer to be able to get it.
"Canned" soup in the USA...even the most basic is nearly $2 each for Campbell's. House brands are about $1.50.
@@JC-rl1vd I too make my own, but have a supply for quick/emergency meals.
Stay safe, stay well, keep stocking up!
Great video which I’m sure will be of help to some people ❤️. Only my OCD makes me say that 6 months is 26 weeks, not 24 weeks…imagine another 2 weeks worth added to that lot l!
Thank you ❤️... My mind works differently to yours and I did it 4 weeks to a month... so if you want to imagine another 2 weeks on top of that, then feel free to imaging an extra 2 weeks worth of food.
Absolutely fabulous. Wondered do you think whole Collection would feed your family of 4 for whole month?
Breakfast/ lunch/ dinners.
Went in aldi today passatta used be 39p now 99p.
Micro rice was 35p now 69p.
We love those Aldi dried rice packets and do them in the microwave or remoska -the difference in energy is still less expensive than the pouches- I've used a plug in electric monitor and worked it out!
I don't know why there's a line across some of my post.
Wonderful job, Tilly! It's a real treat to see all of these.
I stopped at a store that I had not been into in at least 25 years.I was not happy with most of the prices, but they were having a few specials, and I got a few unusual canned vegetables,(like seasoned cabbage; I have never seen that), and a few others to add to the prepping pantry to keep food-fatigue at bay.
OMGoodness, I just got one corned beef because it was on sale for 2.75 GBP, whereas they can go up to 5.50 GBP. It's been fun to be with you on this journey.
Morrisons are no longer doing savers mash. I’m gutted
