TikTok Creator Shows £6.31 Christmas Dinner Using Aldi and Iceland Buys

UK outlets amplify the clip, presenting a thrifty workaround to higher holiday food prices.

Overview

  • The creator, @costoflivingcrisistips, itemized a shop totaling £6.31 that included 39p potatoes, 28p peas, 49p carrots, £2.25 Bernard Matthews turkey drummers, £1.09 gravy and 46p Yorkshire puddings.
  • He cooked sausages with turkey drummers in an air fryer, boiled potatoes and mixed veg in separate pans, and warmed the Yorkshire puddings for two minutes.
  • He described the plate as his “can’t be bothered Christmas dinner” and thickened the gravy by using four tablespoons of granules.
  • Viewers praised the low cost and said the meal would suit many families, with comments noting the approach matches some households’ reality.
  • Coverage frames the video against rising food costs, including turkeys priced over £100 at some stores, and it relays his prices without independent verification.
