Budget Challenge: One Pound, One day, 3 Meals (Limited Foraging) –Is It Still Even Possible in 2022?

Time for another limited budget challenge - people have been asking me if it's even possible at this time, as the costs of food are rising rapidly. Well, let's see. The reason I do this is as an exercise to try to provoke myself to respond creatively; to nurture or develop transferrable skills of creativity and adaptability; to think more about what it means to 'try'; to embed a habit of thinking about and focusing upon solutions, not problems and also to experience personal failure in a safe setting. This type of exercise - in this, and in other contexts - has served me very well in life. Those skills, such as they are, have always been the driving force of what I do, on this channel, and everywhere else. It's important to note what this video is NOT: This is NOT a tutorial for cooking or budgeting or foraging. No guarantee is made that anyone else will be able to replicate any part of this video (supposing you even wanted to). This is NOT an attempt to 'play at being poor', although it always does make me appreciate things that I normally take for granted. This is NOT an attempt to 'prove that people on benefits could get by with less' - if anything, it proves the complete opposite - because this was a difficult thing to do - that's why it's called a 'challenge'. This is NOT a diet - it would not be a good idea to cook or eat exactly this food every day - or budget like this every day.
