Limited budget food challenge... £1.50 a day... vegan, batch cooked and discount items!

Описание: £1.50 A DAY VEGAN FOOD CHALLENGE | 7 DAYS • 21 MEALS • ASDA
Can you really eat for just £1.50 a day in 2026?
In this week-long limited budget vegan food challenge, I’m spending £10.50 total at Asda to cover 7 days of food — that’s 21 meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). The goal is to stretch every penny while still creating balanced, varied, and filling meals.
🌱 Challenge rules:
£1.50 per day (£10.50 for the week)
Vegan meals only
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day
Only basic foraged/scavenged items allowed (herbs, spices, simple extras)
Focus on nutrition, variety, and realistic cooking
This is Week 1 of a month-long extended series.
Week 2 will continue the challenge at Morrisons, again on a £1.50 daily budget — including any ingredients left over from this week.
This channel is all about:
Frugal living & food budgeting
Stretching limited money without sacrificing health
Batch cooking, planning, and self-sufficiency
Proving that low-budget eating can still be nourishing
