I’m a mum-of-two – how I get 28 meals for just a tenner… and you DON’T have to scrimp on tasty food
FOOD shopping can be expensive when you are in a family – but one mum has revealed how she gets a week’s worth of lunch for four for just £10.
In a clip which has racked up 49,000 likes, the mum shared exactly how she achieved the thrifty food shop.
She said on her @dylandfyn account: “Come with me while I buy lunch for a family of four for an entire week for under £10.”
The bargain-hunting mum headed to Aldi and the first thing she picked up was a bag of penne pasta for 41p.
The mum then put 99p Milano Salami chorizo slices, two 37p garlic bread baguettes and 69p Essential Mozzarella into her basket.
Then it was time to stock up on some bargain tinned goods.
The mum picked up two tins of 47p tomato pasta sauce, two tins of 28p baked beans, two tins of 19p of spaghetti hoops.
She then picked up a £1.25 bag of potatoes, 69p tortilla wraps, 45p white bread, 48p Yorkshire puddings and three boxes of 80p fish fingers.
The mum said: “18 items in total for £9.98.”
Her bargain shop meant that she could whip up a number of tasty lunches.
THE MUM'S WEEKLY LUNCH MENU
- Chorizo pizza wraps with homemade chips.
- Fish finger sandwiches
- Chorizo pasta with garlic bread
- Spaghetti hoops on toast
- Chorizo pasta with garlic bread lunch (repeat)
- Jacket potato and beans
- Fish fingers, mash, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings.
First up was chorizo pizza wraps with homemade chips.
She then was able to make fish finger sandwiches, using three and a half fish fingers per one.
Her third meal was chorizo pasta with garlic bread, and then the fourth lunch was spaghetti hoops on toast.
She then repeated her chorizo pasta with garlic bread lunch.
Her sixth lunch was jacket potato and beans, and this was followed by fish fingers, mash, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings.
She added: “Not every lunch has to be fancy.”
Many people were impressed with one saying: “The people complaining in the comments have never struggled to feed their families.
“Fed is best, great ideas to help others.”
However, one person wrote: “Where’s the fruit and veg?” to which she replied, “with breakfast or dinner”.
