And with the cost of living 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: absolutely through the roof, Susie and I thought that it 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: was very timely that we share our best bargain buys 5 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: at the supermarket to save you some serious cash each 6 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: week without actually compromising on your nutrition choices.

Today, 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: Susie has found a budget friendly tasty pork cut which 12 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: is perfect for entertaining, especially in this cooler weather. As 13 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: well as supermarket savings, Susie has found a budget friendly 14 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: tasty pork cut which is perfect for entertaining in these 15 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: cooler months. And we've been busy cooking up our favorite 16 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: soup now that the weather is getting a little bit cooler, 17 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: so we can't wait to share that with you guys today. 18 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: So jumping in Susie, we thought we'd chat some supermarket 19 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: budget buys because honestly, the grocery bill just keeps getting 20 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: more and more and more expensive. So I thought i'd 21 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: share a couple of my sort of staples, particularly when 22 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: the budget is feeling a bit of a pinch. And 23 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: then I thought I'd hand over to you and you 24 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: can share some of your favorite ones. How does that sound. 25 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 2: I've definitely got supermarket items that I think you can 26 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 2: save a whole lot of money on. But I've actually 27 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: asked yours, so I'm interested to hear what your yeap. 28 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: So mine are predominantly things in like a tin so 29 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: like canned legumes, beans, four bean mixed, tin corn, that 30 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: sort of thing, particularly for me, Like I feed here 31 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: a lot of I don't know, people frown on me 32 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: for this, but a lot of like can legumes and 33 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: canned vegetables. It's just it's easy, it's convenient, and it's 34 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: so affordable, Like she'll eat peas and corn out of 35 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: a can. We do a lot of you know, the 36 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: four bean mixed the kidney beans. We do a lot 37 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: of brown lentils for adults as well. Tin tuna and 38 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: t tin salmon, particularly if you're getting it on sale, 39 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: really really budget friendly. It doesn't really like, of course 40 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: it goes off, but it lasts such a long time 41 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: in the pantry. It's a great thing to stock up on. 42 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: I love marinated tofu. Now I know you're either like 43 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: you like tof or you don't your other one of 44 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: two camps. It's very hard to separate people. But I 45 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: feel like the people that say, oh, I don't like 46 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: tofu normally, it's because it the tastes like tofu doesn't 47 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: actually taste like anything. It's very bland. It Actually it 48 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: needs to be put with something to absorb the flavors 49 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: around it. So I rarely ever buy a plane tofu. 50 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: I always go for the marinated tofu and in coals 51 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: and woolwas they have it's like a beautiful honey soy flavor. 52 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: There's a Satae one, there's a tai one. So the 53 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: marinated tofu packs, I think they come in around five 54 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: dollars or so, and you can easily get two serves 55 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: of protein out of that, so it's excellent. And then 56 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: the big staples, like I like using some brown basmati rise. 57 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: I like my legging based pasta and often they come 58 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: on sale as well. I quite like the Vetter high 59 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: protein pasta as well. I often buy that one that's 60 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: half price, and then of course utilizing any special buy. 61 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: So I will generally go to a particular type of 62 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: shopping center that has an Aldi and a coals in it, 63 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: or another one that has a coals and a wool 64 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: Wat's in it, like in the same kind of complex. 65 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: They kind of opposite the road of each other, so 66 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: I'll go between both, and I'll pick up all of 67 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: my staples, like my high protein yogurt. Often between a 68 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: supermarket every two to three weeks they're significantly on sale, 69 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: like they're significantly discounted, So I will get all my 70 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: staples like my rice, my past and my can legumes, 71 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: my tofu, my tuna, all of that when they're on sale, 72 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: and I really do tend to stock up on them. 73 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: So they're probably my biggest I guess budget friendly buyers 74 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: at the supermarket. 75 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, mine, I agree with all of those that these 76 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 2: are another few that I er towards. I always buy 77 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: long life milk because it is cheaper overall per liter, 78 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: and I specifically like it because you can keep a 79 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: long supply. Now, what tends to happen with milk if 80 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: you have young kids and fresh milk, you run out 81 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: or it goes off, so you either throw it away 82 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: or you're running out and you're finding yourself rushing to 83 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: a convenience store where the prices are much higher. So 84 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: even if you prefer fresh milk but keep some long 85 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: life in the background, it means you never run out. 86 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: If you go somewhere like Costco, you can buy it 87 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: in bulk, and it's significantly cheaper if it's discounted, as 88 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: we've spoken about with some of the plant based milks, 89 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: you can get them with heavy discounts and really save money. 90 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: But I have always used it. I just find it's 91 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: more convenient and it doesn't go off, and it's slightly 92 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: lower and Bee group vitamins, but when it comes to 93 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: the key nutrients like protein and calcium, it's identical, so 94 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: you don't lose any nutrition by choosing a long life milk. 95 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: I love the pre made salads because you can get 96 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 2: a whole range of big packets three to five dollars 97 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: per serve, and they I should say, they can do 98 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: multiple serves. Whereas as soon as you're buying those individual 99 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: ingredients at the moment, the lettuce, the rocket, the cucumbers, 100 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 2: the capsicums, it adds up so quickly, so whether it's 101 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: Audi Coals have a great range of them with the 102 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: dressing included. I'm a massive fan of the pre made 103 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: salads and will These in particular have some great vegetable 104 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 2: stir fry mixes for four and five dollars which again 105 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: easily feed the family if not with leftovers, and has 106 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 2: a wide range of brightly colored veggies in it nutritionally, 107 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 2: so you're getting that range of antioxidants and nutrients and 108 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: at a much better price point than if you had 109 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: to go and buy them all individually. It's one thing 110 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 2: I'm very critical of supermarkets in general because I don't 111 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 2: think they do half what they could to make the 112 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 2: cost of living more affordable for Australians, and they have 113 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 2: great power over that. But I credit where credits due. 114 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: I do think they do a great job with the 115 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: pre cut salad and veggies. I love the marinated fetter. 116 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: Now I'm a cheese fan, as I'm sure many listeners are, 117 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: and I'm constantly horrified by how expensive even block cheese is, 118 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: like eight ten dollars sliced cheese, Like, how does anyone 119 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 2: afford that? But I love feta and I find the 120 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: both coals and Woolies branded marinated feta. Now the oil 121 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 2: is parm more. You drain it off, but in terms 122 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: of a topping for crackers or an alternative even to 123 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: margarine on toast, you only use quite a small portion 124 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: of it. Because they're come in cubes. It's delicious, and 125 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: now they used to be five point thirty per container. 126 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 2: It's gone up a little bit, I think, like to 127 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 2: five eighty, but that's still i think much more affordable 128 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 2: than the blocks and slices that are up around eight 129 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 2: ten dollars. And I'm a big fan of the lee minces. 130 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: Now turkey is particularly cheap, are not fans of turkey mints, 131 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: but chicken mints is surprisingly lean. You can get it 132 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: for as long as six dollars per five hundred grams. 133 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 2: It makes beautiful chicken patties. It's great and stir fry. 134 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: You can mix it with other types of mints if 135 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: you're doing spaghetti and want to make it slightly less expensive. 136 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: So a big, big fan of chicken mints, and I've 137 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: always got some in the freezer if i need a 138 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: quick and easy meal. So there's some of my go 139 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: to to save some serious money. Now that's not specifically 140 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 2: for Audi. Obviously, Audi again tends to be less expensive, 141 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: and some staples like oats, long life milk, they're playing yogurt. 142 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: I'll often go to like you if I'm in an 143 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 2: Audi to stock up, and the kid's yogat tubes, which 144 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: again are hid is expensive. The no added sugar ones 145 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: can be Uproundchols fifty per pouch, whereas you can get 146 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: a pretty good nomadded sugar kids pouch at Audi. But 147 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 2: there might go tos each week just to try and 148 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 2: shave off a little bit. And also with cheese, actually 149 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 2: I use always grated or shaved as a topping or 150 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: even on sandwiches, because you use a lot less than 151 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 2: you will if you're hacking off a block or using slices. 152 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: So that's another little way to say money is to 153 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 2: use a graded because you won't waste as much as 154 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 2: you tend to with a block. 155 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: I agree actually buy a grated cheese. I rarely buy 156 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: a block of cheese because, like you said, you tend 157 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: to cut off a big hunk, and like a block 158 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: of cheese is easily ten dollars these days, and if 159 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: you're just cutting it off by the chunk, like it 160 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: doesn't go very far. So I'm a big fan of 161 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: grated cheese, and honestly, Mir is like a cheese addict 162 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: or the way she eats cheese, that kid has it 163 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: nearly every meal. So I'm like, I've got to really 164 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: try to save hard. So the grated cheese, just I find, 165 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: goes a lot further, and the final toy b I say, 166 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: as well, just for some easy protein options, like we 167 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: don't love the type of deli meats too much, but 168 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: for kids, sandwiches and sandwiches for work, wraps, that sort 169 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: of thing. You can get some pretty affordable protein options 170 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: if you're getting you know, shaved turkey breast or some 171 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: lean ham out of the deli section. And even I 172 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: tend to if I'm buying chicken breast, for example, I'll 173 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: buy the chicken breast out of the deli versus getting 174 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: it the prepackaged stuff, because often it can be a 175 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: lot cheaper, like sometimes it's only nine or ten dollars 176 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: a kilo versus when it's prepackaged. Or obviously if you're 177 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: getting the free range stuff, you're getting the agontic stuff, 178 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot more expensive. But if 179 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: budgeting is really an issue. Sometimes getting some of your proteins, 180 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: like your salmon slices and your chicken out of the 181 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: deli can actually save you quite a lot of money, 182 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: particularly for things like salmon where it is quite expensive. 183 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: So that's my last tip to actually just compare the 184 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: price of the prepackaged proteins compared to some of the 185 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: stuff available in the Delhi as well, because often in 186 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: the deli section it can be a lot more affordable. 187 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: And stock up when it is on sale. You know, 188 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 2: if chicken breast is on sale, it's so much better 189 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: for you than thighs and drumsticks. Load up. Then you 190 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: can defrost it, make schnitzels, great lunches. The kids love it, 191 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 2: so that's a good bulk purchase I would encourage. And 192 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: even a whole chicken sometimes you can find them on 193 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 2: salf for five dollars and I just stick them in 194 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 2: the freezer. Now, obviously you get all cuts of chicken, 195 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 2: but you can use the carcass as a bone broth 196 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 2: for soup and that can be a really refordable thing 197 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: just to keep in the freezer too, which leads me 198 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: onto a product I came acrossing coals on the weekend 199 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: so I was having one of those afternoons where I 200 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 2: had to cater for the family. I really wasn't feeling 201 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: inspired to cook. I had a chicken in the freezer. 202 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 2: I didn't want to cook that, and I was thinking, 203 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: what can we have that's not a barbecue? And I 204 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: was just going through the aisles and I quite likely 205 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: ad those lamb backstraps, but they're not cheap. They're over 206 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: twenty dollars and they're not lean, so they come in 207 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 2: at about eighteen percent fat, so you're really not getting 208 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 2: the best quality meat, even though they're flavorsome. So I 209 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 2: was sort of almost got that. I said to my dad, 210 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: I might get two. It was forty dollars. Anyway, I 211 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 2: was in Coals, and I'm not a pork eater. I 212 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 2: don't love pork, but if it's seasoned or a shredded pork, 213 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: I would have it. So I came across this great product, 214 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 2: which I'm loving. It's called the Coals easy made so 215 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 2: cooked boneless pork shank, and it's got a Mexican sauce. 216 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: I think there's different ones, and this one was Mexican. 217 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: Eight hundred grams, so a big serve for ten dollars, 218 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 2: which is fantastic, but specifically for us. The reason I 219 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: liked it so much, Lyne is that it was like 220 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: eight percent fat, which is incredibly leaned for protein. So 221 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: to give you a reference, if you buy regular mints, 222 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: it's about twenty percent fat, the lean mince is about 223 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 2: ten and then the extra triom is five percent. So 224 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: to have pork like this, which is really good quality, 225 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 2: lean fibrous meat with it delicious flavor through it. Like 226 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: it had a few additives but nothing untoward. It was 227 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: still low in fat. All I had to do was 228 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: put it in the oven. I bought two packets because 229 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 2: I was feeding six eight people, so it was twenty dollars, 230 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 2: so half the price of the lamb. But for a family, 231 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 2: you could easily get away with one packet, like that's 232 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: almost a ki low because we've got heaps of leftovers. 233 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: All I had to do was put it in the 234 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 2: oven in a baking traad and have to add anything 235 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: to it. Just took it out slow roasted it over 236 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 2: about an hour and a half. It gave the most 237 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: delicious lean meat. We had it on sliders with a coleslaw. 238 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: You could easily use it as meat on wraps in 239 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: the week. But big fan and I, as I said, 240 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 2: I'm not even the biggest pork fan, but both from 241 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 2: a cost perspective, you know, for a family ten dollars, 242 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 2: that would easily feed a family of four. And it 243 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 2: was delicious, tasty, extremely lean for pork. Big thumbs up 244 00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 2: for me. And it was just in the in a 245 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 2: box in the regular meat section, kind of at the 246 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 2: top in near the pre made meats. But I'll be 247 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 2: buying it again because sometimes we go to a butcher 248 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: nearby and buy a pork shredded pork to have and 249 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: it's really expensive. I wouldn't go and bother with that. 250 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 2: Now we've had this. It was so lean and just 251 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: easy to get in the supermarket. You could freeze it 252 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: so you've got it on hand, a delicious sort of 253 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 2: a Saturday night. You could do it as a Mexican 254 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 2: in a brido bowl to keep it low carb. You 255 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: could do it as wraps. Just big thumbs up from me. 256 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 2: For eight percent fat and ten dollars for eight hundred 257 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: grams a really good price point. 258 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great find, and it says online it's Yeah, 259 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: the ten dollars for the box of it, but it's 260 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: a save two dollars, so I'm not sure if that's 261 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: they pulled that down and it was normally as twelve dollars, 262 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: but even that twelve dollars affordable we get for how 263 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: far much eight hundred grams is huge. I love that 264 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: it's ninety percent Australian pork as well, so it's only 265 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: ten percent of it's made up of the marinade and 266 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: the sauce. You're actually getting a really high percentage of 267 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: meat so per one hundred grams, which for the majority 268 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: of people is more than enough. So you should be 269 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: able to serve eight to ten people, ten of theirs, 270 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: you know, some kids involved eight of theirs, you know, 271 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: mostly adults. Twenty point four grams of protein per hundred grams, 272 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: five point six grams of carbohydrates, with one and a 273 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: half grams being sugar that's obviously coming from the sauce, 274 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: and a little bit of added sugar and sauces absolutely okay. 275 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: It just makes it a more tasty kind of appealing meal, 276 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: particularly for fussy eaties and young kids. Sodium's four forty milligrams. 277 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: I think that's fine obviously for the added sauces and 278 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: as you said, the fat's four grams per hundred grams. 279 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: It's incredibly low, with only one point four being saturated 280 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: and a couple of grams of dietary fiber in there 281 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: as well, which is interesting. But yeah, I think it's 282 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: a great product overall, and it looks tasty. I'm definitely 283 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: gonna buy that to give it a whirl, especially coming 284 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: into the cooler months. As you said, it's a great 285 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: way to feed a crowd or just even to get 286 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: some leftovers that'd be perfect to throw into one of 287 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: the bag salad mixes. We always talk about her, as 288 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: she said, onto sliders put it between a toasty Yeah. 289 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: I think it's wonderful, and it's good for sort of 290 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: some of the elderly as well, as they've got sort 291 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: of dentician or you know, problems with their teeth. It's 292 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: been a nice, softer sort of cut of meat as well. 293 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 2: It was really good find, which then leads us on 294 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 2: to our final segment of the day, which I hadn't 295 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: asked you what you've been cooking, so I thought i'd 296 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: share my bean soup. I'm a massive fan of soups 297 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: in the winter. They're cost effective, but that's not why 298 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: I like them. I just think that they're so delicious. 299 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 2: And there's a couple of recipes that I fall back 300 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 2: to regularly. I think we mentioned the detox vegetable soup, 301 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: but this is my go to at the moment because 302 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 2: I overdose the vegetable soup. Now, this is a recipe 303 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: that came from a Coals magazine a couple of years ago, 304 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: and I have to be honestly, and it's one of 305 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 2: the best soups I've ever made. We will pop up 306 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: this recipe on our Instagram, the Nutrition Catch podcast, and 307 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 2: also a picture of that pork we're talking about too, 308 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 2: if you're interested to track them down. So this soup, 309 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: it's so simple. It's just some cut up onion and celery. 310 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 2: Now celery is not inexpensive, so I go to the 311 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: market's in Sydney and when I buy one, it's a dollar, 312 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 2: and then I freeze the different storks because it is 313 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: not inexpensive. So a couple of storks is all you need. 314 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 2: So if you bought a whole cerea offer and throwing 315 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: it away, so I always free that freeze those stalks 316 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 2: so I've got them for future soups and I've got 317 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 2: three lots of celery from that one celery on top 318 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: of the soup I made, So that's four serves in 319 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 2: a celery bunch. And then you put off memory I 320 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: think it's two or three cups of saltridges chicken stock. Now, 321 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 2: if you want to use a no added salt chicken stock, 322 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: you can something like a Maggie beer. They are more expensive. 323 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: They come in about eight to ten dollars, whereas I 324 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 2: just tend to buy the salt reduced chicken it audi 325 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: or coals wherever I'm shopping. Then you add two cans 326 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: of Cannellini beans, so that links into our very affordable 327 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: legumes and you can get those for as little as 328 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: a dollar per can, and they are high in five 329 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 2: but they're very creamy, they're delicious. And then the secret 330 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 2: ingredient is about half a cup of tomato posada, which 331 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: is so random, but what it does. It just gives 332 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: it a little sort of richness and takes the edge 333 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 2: of the chicken stock. And I simmer it, and I 334 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 2: like to simmer my soups for a really long time. 335 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: If you wanted to, you could blend it to make 336 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: it more creamy. I leave mine, and then at the 337 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: end leanne, you just chuck in a handful of cay 338 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: Now again a random ingredient. I don't like kale myself, 339 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: I would never buy it, but I buy it for 340 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: this soup. And again I buy a bunch at the markets. 341 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 2: I get it for a dollar or two, and then 342 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 2: I freeze what I don't use, so again I don't 343 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: waste any and get several lots of soup out of 344 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: that kind of investment. So even if you're buying a 345 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: whole bunch of kale and a whole celery for the 346 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: soup and it's costing you, you know, five, six, eight, 347 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: ten dollars, sorry, eight dollars, you're still going to get 348 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: three or four serves if you freeze the leftover kale 349 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 2: and celery. So it's sort of an investment and you 350 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 2: season it to taste. Now it is so good. I 351 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: just I don't know what it is. It's something that the 352 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 2: canelini beans with the tomato. It's just delicious, and anyone 353 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 2: who's made it in the last few years will say 354 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 2: it's the best soup they've ever tasted. So we'll pop 355 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 2: that up. And I can't recommend it enough. Both budget wise. Nutritionally, 356 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: you're getting a massive dose of antioxidants from things like kale, 357 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 2: especially if they're foods you wouldn't normally eat. Incredibly affordable 358 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 2: chicken stock, tomato, pisada like foods we often have just 359 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: got in the pantry anyway. And yeah, just a nice 360 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: spin on something. If you stick of your pumpkin soup, 361 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: your veggie soup, chicken you want something different, you'll love it, 362 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 2: I promise. 363 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing. The Big Coll one of the best 364 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: soups you've ever made. Big Coll Guys, you'll have to 365 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: make it and let us know what you think. 366 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: If I make it, and it sort of is probably 367 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: four to six serves because it's quite concentrated, you're not 368 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: adding much water. Chris eats it and it really annoys 369 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: me because I've gone to all this effort. I've made 370 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: it up and he loves it as well. And actually 371 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: I serve it with parmesan, so that's a nice little 372 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 2: finish to it. 373 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, how do you think a big 374 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: dollop of like Greek yogurt or cream or something would go? 375 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: And they if you've got bussy kids or kids who 376 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: need to gain wait maybe some cream or just to 377 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: boost the protein a little bit, like a dollar for 378 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: Greek yogurat, you could. 379 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 2: I think the only thing I would do is if 380 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 2: I was doing that, I wouldn't add the kale, okay, 381 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: because the kale kind of sits on top, and I 382 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: think that unless you were blending it, it wouldn't go 383 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: well with the kale. But you could leave the kale 384 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 2: out and then do that, And I think anything, I 385 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 2: always like a bit of sour cream or something with 386 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 2: a soup as well, to cream up and actually klin 387 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 2: of mindsetting. Often they'll do a soup they'll put a 388 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: block of silk and tofu and it will dissolve and 389 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: make it really creamy. Now I'm not a tofu fan. 390 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 2: I've never done it, but yeah, that was another tip 391 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 2: from a client of mine. They stick a block of 392 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: silk and tofu in their soups. 393 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: Interesting. I mean, I am a tofu fan, but I 394 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: don't know how I feel about tofu and a blended soup. 395 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: But each to their own. 396 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 2: So if you like it, it's a good heat of protein. 397 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: So wonderful. All right. Well, that brings us to the 398 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: end of the nutrition couch for another Midweek, a motivational 399 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: Wednesday episode.
