    What I like about your challenges is that you don&apos;t buy garbage like chips, chocolates etc you actually buy vegetables, protein, carbs etc it&apos;s so easy to buy garbage when you&apos;re on a tight budget.

    Finally there&apos;s an Aussie meal planner that shops at Aussie stores and prices &nbsp;😂 &nbsp; &nbsp;Can you please include the recipes quantities whilst your talking OR put &nbsp;the ingredients quantities in the drop down more section???? That would be greatly appreciated instead of having to go to your web page all time 😊❤

    My favourite quick budget soup: chicken &amp; sweet corm. To hot chicken stock add a tin of creamed corn, one beaten egg and some chopped shallots. <br>Also, another nice budget dip is made with any white beams (butter, cannellini etc) blended with oil, lemon and garlic. You can add herbs or jalepeno peppers, or anchovies, or roasted tomato or cumin &amp; chilli. It&apos;s a great neutral base to add flavours to.

    Hi from Ohio USA<br>I enjoy watching your show , thanks .<br>I have watched another &nbsp;channel here on YouTube called &nbsp;“Simple food simple life” . &nbsp; She shared her recipe for tahini free hummus. She instead used a toasted sesame seed oil. It makes a wonderful &nbsp;hummus and it adds that flavor you’re missing in the one you made . &nbsp;I encourage you to try it I think you’ll be very happy with it and the recipe is very simple

    I just wanted to say thank you for having little to no annoying background music in this video. <br><br>I love your videos, but cannot watch some of them because of the background music.

Thank you for taking the time and care to help out anyone needing a budget, or to eat a lot better xx
