firstly he is retired so shopping is a time pass for him, working people don't have time to have time out buying 3 potatoes everyday ... secondly it's only possible or frugal (if at all) to buy everyday if ur food n grocery store is within walking distance ... if not then wat about the cost of petrol for that special trip ... and wheres the notion of buying on bulk to save? pretty short-sighted vidoe if u think abt it overall ...
I can't believe how small the Fridge was.... Mine is a side by side n full of Staples & usually Leftovers to be eaten of course :) I don't wanna go to the Store Everyday !
But I do go 2-3 x's a week bcuz if I make a men w- Fam they change their minds n not n mood to eat that :(
I hear that a lot these days, but when I grew up dinner was dinner, I didn't choose the menu. If I was hungry, I ate, I didn't send my mother out to buy me what I wanted. I hate to sound like an old fart but kids today are spoiled rotten. They have ten times more than we ever did, and they want more.
that seems weird; in America is much much cheaper to buy in bulk and the freeze, can, etc. It's much cheaper to have a small stockpile and saves time not having to go shopping everyday .... interesting to see another country though....
Wait, the people with the allotments were allowed to stay despite the owners wanting them off? So the illusion of owning property is the same bullshit we have here? No one truly owns land in America, proof? 1. Government can take it for any reason. 2. You must pay tax on it FOREVER
This is a delightful film, but I question how realistic it is to spend time every day shopping for food when buying in bulk will produce savings both in money and valuable time. However, I love this man's enthusiasm.
One day worth of rice costs five times what it will if you bought a months worth. Things are cheaper in bulk, assuming you actually use everything you buy, day by day shopping gets pricey. Supermarkets must be different in Europe, here if you want it cheap you go to the supermarket, the local stores are more expensive. Even little outdoor markets like you show can't beat the big supermarket prices.
filling the fridge is saving money so long as ur not hoarding. cooking and eating at home is saving money. going out to buy food everyday costs more money.
ray gosling was on £50,000 a year back in the mid 80s.. equal to around £200,000 a year today and he dined in the countrys top places, had rent boys every weekend, and lived in a mansion, now hes looking foward to a long spell in prison for murder..
this is in no way a true example of frugal living

Running an empty fridge is more expensive.

@DorPurseFreak "not in the mood to eat that"?

I see "Current Affairs" has become a totally meaningless term in the UK just like Australia.
