As well as supermarket savings, Susie has found 15 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: a budget friendly tasty pork cut which is perfect for 16 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: entertaining in these cooler months. And we've been busy cooking 17 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: up our favorite soup now that the weather is getting 18 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: a little bit cooler, so we can't wait to share 19 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: that with you guys today. So jumping in Susie, we 20 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: thought we'd chat some supermarket budget buys because honestly, the 21 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: grocery boiler just keeps getting more and more and more expensive. 22 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: So I thought i'd share a couple of my sort 23 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: of staples, particularly when the budget is feeling a bit 24 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: of a pinch. And then I thought I'd hand over 25 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: to you and you can share some of your favorite ones. 26 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: How does that sound. 27 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: I've definitely got supermarket items that I think you can 28 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,199 Speaker 2: save a whole lot of money on. But I've actually 29 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: asked yours, so I'm interested to hear what your yeap. 30 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: So mine are predominantly things in like a tin so 31 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: like canned legumes, beans, four bean mixed, tin corn, that 32 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: sort of thing. Particularly for me, Like I feed her 33 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: a lot of I don't know, people frown on me 34 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: for this, but a lot of like can legumes and 35 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: canned vegetables. It's just it's easy, it's convenient, and it's 36 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: so affordable, Like she'll eat peas and corn out of 37 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: a can. We do a lot of you know, the 38 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: four bean mixed the kidney beans. We do a lot 39 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: of brown lentils for adults as well. Tin tuna and 40 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: tin salmon, particularly if you're getting it on sale, really 41 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: really budget friendly. It doesn't really like, of course it 42 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: goes off, but it lasts such a long time in 43 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: the pantry. It's a great thing to stock up on. 44 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: I love marinated tofu. Now I know you're either like 45 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: you like tofo, you don't your other one of two camps. 46 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: It's very hard to separate people. But I feel like 47 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: the people that say, oh, I don't like tofu normally, 48 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: it's because it the tastes like tofu doesn't actually taste 49 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: like anything. It's very bland. It Actually it needs to 50 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: be put with something to absorb the flavors around it. 51 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: So I rarely ever buy a plane tofu. I always 52 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: go for the marinated tofu and in coals and woolwas 53 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: they have it's like a beautiful honey soy flavor. There's 54 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: a sate one, there's a tai one. So the marinated 55 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: tofu packs, I think they come in around five dollars 56 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: or so, and you can easily get two serves of 57 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: protein out of that, so it's excellent. And then the 58 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: big staples. I like using some brown basmati rise. I 59 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: like my legging based pasta and often they come on 60 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: sailor as well. I quite like the Vetter high protein 61 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: pasta as well. I often buy that one that's half price, 62 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: and then of course utilizing any special buy. So I 63 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: will generally go to a particular type of shopping center 64 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: that has an Aldi and a Coals in it, or 65 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: another one that has a coals and a Wolla's in it, 66 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: like in the same kind of complex. They kind of 67 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: opposite the road of each other, so I'll go between both, 68 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: and I'll pick up all of my staples, like my 69 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: high protein yogurt. Often between a supermarket every two to 70 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: three weeks they're significantly on sale, like they're significantly discounted, 71 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: So I will get all my staples like my rice, 72 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: my past and my can legumes, my tofu, my tuna, 73 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: all of that when they're on sale, and I really 74 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: do tend to stock up on them. So they're probably 75 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: my biggest I guess budget friendly buyers at the supermarket. 76 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, mine, I agree with all of those that these 77 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 2: are another few that I er towards. I always buy 78 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: long life milk because it is cheaper overall per liter, 79 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: and I specifically like it because you can keep a 80 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: long supply. Now, what tends to happen with milk if 81 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: you have young kids and fresh milk, you run out 82 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: or it goes off, so you either throw it away 83 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 2: or you're running out and you're finding yourself rushing to 84 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: a convenience store where the prices are much higher. So 85 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: even if you prefer fresh milk but keep some long 86 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: life in the background, it means you never run out. 87 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: If you go somewhere like Costco, you can buy it 88 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: in bulk, and it's significantly cheaper if it's discounted, as 89 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: we've spoken about with some of the plant based milks, 90 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: you can get them with heavy discounts and really save money. 91 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: But I have always used it. I just find it's 92 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: more convenient and it doesn't go off, and it's slightly 93 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: lower in Bee group vitamins, but when it comes to 94 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: the key nutrients like protein and calcium, its identical, so 95 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: you don't lose any nutrition by choosing a long life milk. 96 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: I love the pre made salads because you can get 97 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: a whole range of big packets three to five dollars 98 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: per serve, and they I should say, they can do 99 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: multiple serves. Whereas as soon as you're buying those individual 100 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: ingredients at the moment, the lettuce, the rocket, the cucumbers, 101 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: the capsicums, it adds up so quickly, so whether it's 102 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 2: Audi Coals have a great range of them with the 103 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: dressing included. I'm a massive fan of the pre made 104 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 2: salads and will These in particular have some great vegetable 105 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: stir fry mixes for four and five dollars which again 106 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 2: easily feed the family if not with leftovers, and has 107 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 2: a wide range of brightly colored veggies in it nutritionally, 108 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: so you're getting that range of antioxidants and nutrients and 109 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: at a much better price point than if you had 110 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: to go and buy them all individually. It's one thing 111 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: I'm very critical of supermarkets in general because I don't 112 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: think they do half what they could to make the 113 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: cost of living more affordable for Australians, and they have 114 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: great power over that. But I credit where credits due. 115 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: I do think they do a great job with the 116 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 2: pre cut salad and veggies. I love the marinated fetter. 117 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 2: Now I'm a cheese fan, as I'm sure many listeners are, 118 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: and I'm constantly horrified by how expensive even block cheese is, 119 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 2: like eight ten dollars sliced cheese, Like, how does anyone 120 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 2: afford that? But I love feta and I find the 121 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 2: both coals and Woolies branded marinated feta. Now the oil 122 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: is palm more. You drain it off, but in terms 123 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: of a topping for crackers or an alternative even to 124 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,559 Speaker 2: margarine on toast, you only use quite a small portion 125 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 2: of it. Because they come in cubes. It's delicious, and 126 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: now they used to be five point thirty per container. 127 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 2: It's gone up a little bit, I think, like to 128 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: five eighty, but that's still I think, much more affordable 129 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 2: than the blocks and slices that are up around eight 130 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: ten dollars. And I'm a big fan of the lee minces. 131 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: Now turkey is particularly cheap. People are not fans of 132 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: turkey mints, but chicken mints are surprisingly lean. You can 133 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 2: get it for as long as six dollars per five 134 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: hundred grams. It makes beautiful chicken patties. It's great and 135 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 2: stir fry. You can mix it with other types of 136 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: mints if you're doing spaghetti and want to make it 137 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 2: slightly less expensive. So a big, big fan of chicken mints, 138 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: and I've always got some in the freezer if i 139 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: need a quick and easy meal. So there's some of 140 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: my go to to save some serious money. Now that's 141 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 2: not specifically for Audi. Obviously, Audi again tends to be 142 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 2: less expensive, and some staples like oats, long live milk, 143 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: they're playing yogurt. I'll often go to like you if 144 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 2: I'm in an Audi to stock up and the kid's 145 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: yogurt tubes, which again are hideously expensive. The no added 146 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: sugar ones can be upround Chols fifty per pouch, whereas 147 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 2: you can get a pretty good no added sugar kids 148 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,679 Speaker 2: pouch at Audi. But there might go tos each week 149 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: just to try and shave off a little bit. And 150 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: also with cheese, actually I use always grated or shaved 151 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 2: as a topping or even on sandwiches, because you use 152 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: a lot less than you will if you're hacking off 153 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: a block or using slices. So that's another little way 154 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 2: to say money is to use a graded because you 155 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 2: won't waste as much as you tend to with a block. 156 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: I agree actually buy a grated cheese. I rarely buy 157 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: a block of cheese because, like you said, you tend 158 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: to cut off a big hunk, and like a block 159 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: of cheese is easily ten dollars these days, and if 160 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: you're just cutting it off by the chunk, like it 161 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: doesn't go very far. So I'm a big fan of 162 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: grated cheese, and honestly, Miror is like a cheese addict, 163 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: or the way she eats cheese, that kid hasn't nearly 164 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: every meal, So I'm like, I've got to really try 165 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: to save hard. So the grated cheese, just I find, 166 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: goes a lot further. And the final top I say, 167 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: as well, just for some easy protein options, like we 168 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: don't love the type of deli meats too much, but 169 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: for kids, sandwiches and sandwiches for work, wraps, that sort 170 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: of thing. You can get some pretty affordable protein options 171 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: if you're getting you know, shaved turkey breast or some 172 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: lean ham out of the deli section. And even I 173 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: tend to if I'm buying chicken breast, for example, I'll 174 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: buy the chicken breast out of the deli versus getting 175 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: it the prepackaged stuff, because often it can be a 176 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: lot cheaper, like sometimes it's only nine or ten dollars 177 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: a kilo versus when it's prepackaged. Or obviously if you're 178 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: getting the free range stuff, you're getting the aguntic stuff, 179 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot more expensive. But if 180 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: budgeting is really an issue. Sometimes getting some of your proteins, 181 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: like your salmon slices and your chicken out of the 182 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 1: deli can actually save you quite a lot of money, 183 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: particularly for things like salmon where it is quite expensive. 184 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: So that's my last tip to actually just compare the 185 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: price of the prepackaged proteins compared to some of the 186 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: stuff available in the Delhi as well, because often in 187 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: the deli section it can be a lot more affordable. 188 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: And stock up when it is on sale. You know, 189 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: if chicken breast is on sale, it's so much better 190 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: for you than thighs and drumsticks. Load up and you 191 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: can defrost it, make schnitzels, great lunches. The kids love it, 192 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 2: so that's a good bulk purchase I would encourage. And 193 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: even a whole chicken sometimes you can find them on 194 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: salf for five dollars and I just stick them in 195 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: the freezer. Now, obviously you get all cuts of chicken, 196 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: but you can use the carcass as a bone broth 197 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 2: for soup and that can be a really refordable thing 198 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 2: just to keep in the freezer too, which leads me 199 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: onto a product I came acrossing coals on the weekend 200 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: so I was having one of those afternoons where I 201 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 2: had to cater for the family. I really wasn't feeling 202 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: inspired to cook. I had a chicken in the freezer. 203 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 2: I didn't want to cook that, and I was thinking, 204 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 2: what can we have that's not a barbecue when I 205 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: was just going through the aisles, and I quite likely 206 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: ad those lamb backstrips. 207 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: But they're not cheap. 208 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: They're over twenty dollars and they're not lean, so they 209 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: come in at about eighteen percent fat, so you're really 210 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,119 Speaker 2: not getting the best quality meat, even though they're flavorsome. 211 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 2: So I was sort of almost got that. I said 212 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 2: to my dad, I might get two. It was forty dollars. Anyway, 213 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: I was in Coals, and I'm not a pork eater. 214 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: I don't love pork, but if it's seasoned or a 215 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: shredded pork, I would have it. So I came across 216 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 2: this great product, which I'm loving. It's called the Coals 217 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: easy made so cooked boneless pork shank, and it's got 218 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 2: a Mexican sauce. I think there's different ones, and this 219 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 2: one was Mexican. Eight hundred grams, so a big serve 220 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 2: for ten dollars, which is fantastic, but specifically for us. 221 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 2: The reason I liked it so much leanne is that 222 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: it was like eight percent fat, which is incredibly leaned 223 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 2: for protein. So to give you a reference, if you 224 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 2: buy regular mints, it's about twenty percent fat, the lean 225 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,079 Speaker 2: mince is about ten and then the extra triom is 226 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: five percent. So to have pork like this, which is 227 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 2: really good quality, lean fibrous meat with it delicious flavor 228 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 2: through it like it had a few additives but nothing untoward. 229 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 2: It was still low in fat. All I had to 230 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 2: do was put it in the oven. I bought two 231 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 2: packets because I was feeding six eight people, so it 232 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 2: was twenty dollars, so half the price of the lamb. 233 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: But for a family, you could easily get away with 234 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: one packet, like that's almost a ki low because we've 235 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: got heaps of leftovers. All I had to do was 236 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: put it in the oven in a baking tread and 237 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: have to add anything to it. Just took it out 238 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: slow roasted it over about an hour and a half. 239 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: It gave the most delicious lean meat. We had it 240 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: on sliders with a coleslaw. You could easily use it 241 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 2: as meat on wraps in the week. But big fan 242 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 2: and I, as I said, I'm not even the biggest 243 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: pork fan, but both from a cost perspective, you know, 244 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: for a family ten dollars, that would easily feed a 245 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: family of four. And it was delicious, tasty, extremely lean 246 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 2: for pork. Big thumbs up for me. And it was 247 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: just in the in a box in the regular meat section, 248 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: kind of at the top in near the pre made meats. 249 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: But I'll be buying it again because sometimes we go 250 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: to a butcher nearby and buy a pork shredded pork 251 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 2: to have and it's really expensive. I wouldn't go and 252 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 2: bother with that. Now we've had this. It was so 253 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 2: lean and just easy to get in the supermarket. You 254 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: could freeze it so you've got it on hand, a 255 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: delicious sort of Saturday night. You could do it as 256 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: a Mexican in a brido bowl to keep it low carb. 257 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 2: You could do it as wraps. Just big thumbs up 258 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 2: from me for eight percent fat and ten dollars for 259 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: eight hundred grams a really good price point. 260 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great find, and it says online it's Yeah, 261 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: the ten dollars for the box of it but it's 262 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: a save two dollars, so I'm not sure if that's 263 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: they pulled that down. It really normally is twelve dollars, 264 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: but even that twelve dollars affordable we get for how 265 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: far much eight hundred grams is huge. I love that 266 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: it's ninety percent Australian pork as well, so it's only 267 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: ten percent of it's made up of the marinate and 268 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: the sauce. You're actually getting a really high percentage of 269 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: meat so per one hundred grams, which for the majority 270 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: of people is more than enough. So you should be 271 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: able to serve a to ten people ten of theirs, 272 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: you know, some kids involved eight of theirs, you know, 273 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: mostly adults. Twenty point four grams of protein per hundred grams, 274 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: five point six grams of carbohydrates, with one and a 275 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: half grams being sugar that's obviously coming from the sauce, 276 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: and a little bit of added sugar and sauces absolutely okay. 277 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: It just makes it a more tasty kind of appealing meal, 278 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: particularly for fussy eaties and young kids. Sodium's four forty milligrams. 279 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: I think that's fine obviously for the added sauces, and 280 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: as you said, the fat's four grams per hundred grams. 281 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: It's incredibly low, with only one point four being saturated 282 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: and a couple of grams of dietary fiber in there 283 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: as well, which is interesting. But yeah, I think it's 284 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: a great product overall, and it looks tasty. I'm definitely 285 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: going to buy that to give it a whirl, especially 286 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: coming into the cooler months. As you said, it's a 287 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: great way to feed a crowd or just even to 288 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: get some leftovers that'd be perfect to throw into one 289 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: of the bag salad mixes. We always talk about her, 290 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: as she said, onto sliders put it between a toasty 291 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: you know. I think it's wonderful, and it's good for 292 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: sort of some of the elderly as well, if they've 293 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: got sort of dentiician or you know, problems with their teeth. 294 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: It's been a nice, softer sort of cut of meat 295 00:12:59,559 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: as well. 296 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: It was really good find, which then leads us on 297 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: to our final segment of the day, which I hadn't 298 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 2: asked you what you've been cooking, so I thought i'd 299 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: share my bean soup. I'm a massive fan of soups 300 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: in the winter. They're cost effective, but that's not why 301 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: I like them. I just think that they're so delicious. 302 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 2: And there's a couple of recipes that I fall back 303 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: to regularly. I think we mentioned the detox vegetable soup, 304 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: but this is my go to at the moment because 305 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 2: I overdose the vegetable soup. Now, this is a recipe 306 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 2: that came from a Coals magazine a couple of years ago, 307 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: and I have to be honestly, and it's one of 308 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 2: the best soups I've ever made. We will pop up 309 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: this recipe on our Instagram, the Nutrition Catch podcast, and 310 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 2: also a picture of that pork we're talking about too, 311 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 2: if you're interested to track them down. So this soup, 312 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: it's so simple. It's just some cut up onion and celery. 313 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 2: Now celery is not inexpensive, so I go to the 314 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 2: markets in Sydney and when I buy one, it's a dollar, 315 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: and then I freeze the different storks because it is 316 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 2: not inexpensive. So a couple of storks is all you need. 317 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 2: So if you bought a whole cerea offer and throwing 318 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 2: it away, so I always free freeze those stalks. So 319 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 2: I've got them for future soups. And I've got three 320 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 2: lots of celery from that one celery on top of 321 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 2: the soup I made, So that's four serves in a 322 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: celery bunch. And then you put off memory I think 323 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 2: it's two or three cups of salt ridges chicken stock. Now, 324 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 2: if you want to use a no added salt chicken stock, 325 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 2: you can something like a Maggie beer. They are more expensive. 326 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: They come in about eight to ten dollars, whereas I 327 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 2: just tend to buy the salt reduced chicken at Audi 328 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: or Coals wherever I'm shopping. Then you add two cans 329 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: of Cannellini bean, so that links into our very affordable 330 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: legumes and you can get those for as little as 331 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: a dollar per can, and they're high in five, but 332 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: they're very creamy, they're delicious. And then the secret ingredient 333 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: is about half a cup of tomato posada, which is 334 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: so random, but what it does, it just gives it 335 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: a little sort of richness and takes the edge of 336 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: the chicken stock. And I simmer it, and I like 337 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 2: to simmer my soups for a really long time. If 338 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: you wanted to, you could blend it to make it 339 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 2: more creamy. I leave mine and then at the end, LeAnn, 340 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 2: you just chuck in a handful of ca now again 341 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: a random ingredient. I don't like kale myself, I would 342 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 2: never buy it, but I buy it for this soup. 343 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 2: And again I buy a bunch at the markets. I 344 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: get it for a dollar or two, and then I 345 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: freeze what I don't use, so again I don't waste 346 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: any and get several lots of soup out of that 347 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 2: kind of investment. So even if you're buying a whole 348 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 2: bunch of kale and a whole celery for the soup 349 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: and it's costing you, you know, five, six, eight, ten dollars, sorry, 350 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: eight dollars, you're still going to get three or four 351 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: serves if you freeze the leftover kale and celery. So 352 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: it's sort of an investment and you season it to taste. 353 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: Now it is so good. I just I don't know 354 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: what it is. It's something that canelini beans with the tomato. 355 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: It's just delicious, and anyone who's made it in the 356 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 2: last few years will say it's the best soup they've 357 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: ever tasted. So we'll pop that up. And I can't 358 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: recommend it enough, both budget wise, nutritionally, you're getting a 359 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: massive dose of antioxidants from things like kale, especially if 360 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: they're foods you wouldn't normally eat. Incredibly affordable chicken stock, tomato, 361 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 2: pisada like foods we often have just got in the 362 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 2: pantry anyway. And yeah, just a nice spin on something. 363 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 2: If you stick of your pumpkin soup, your veggie soup, 364 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 2: chicken you want something different, you'll love it, I promise. 365 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing, A big coll one of the best 366 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: soups you've ever made. Big coll Guys, you'll have to 367 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: make it and let us know what you think. 368 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: If I make it, and it sort of is probably 369 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: four to six serves because it's quite concentrated, you're not 370 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: adding much water. Chris eats it and it really annoys 371 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 2: me because I've gone to all this effort. I've made 372 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: it up and he loves it as well. And actually 373 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: I serve it with parmesan, so that's a nice little 374 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 2: finish to it. 375 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, how do you think a big 376 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: dollop of like Greek yogurt or cream or something would 377 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: go and there if you've got bussy kids or kids 378 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: who need to gain wait, maybe some cream or just 379 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: to boost the protein a little bit like a dollarp 380 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: of Greek yogurt. You could. 381 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: I think the only thing I would do is if 382 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 2: I was doing that, I wouldn't add the kaleah okay, 383 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: because the kale kind of sits on top, and I 384 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 2: think that unless you were blending it, it wouldn't go 385 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 2: well with the kale. But you could leave the kale 386 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 2: out and then do that, And I think anything, I 387 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: always like a bit of sour cream or something with 388 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: a soup as well, to cream up and actually a 389 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 2: klin of mindsetting. Often they'll do a soup. They'll put 390 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 2: a block of silk and tofu and it will dissolve 391 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 2: and make it really creamy. Now I'm not a tofu fan. 392 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 2: I've never done it, but yeah, that was another tip 393 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 2: from a client of mine. They stick a block of 394 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 2: silk and tofu in their soups. 395 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: Interesting. I mean, I am a tofu fan, but I 396 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: don't know how I feel about tofu and a blended soup. 397 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: But each to their own. 398 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 2: So if you like it, it's a good heat of protein. 399 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: So wonderful. All right. Well, that brings us to the 400 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: end of the nutrition couch for another midweek a motivational 401 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: Wednesday episode.
