He is DEEPLY out of touch with reality. I don't think he's a nasty person but he doesn't realise how ridiculous he comes across- bumbling through life like a privileged fool.
The sad thing is before his fame from youtube he was never priveleged. So why are these people acting like they never experienced being not rich?? RU-vid money don't take away life experiences, surely he would know what life before youtube was like unless he was allways a deluded snob.
It's so funny because it completely exposes his shitty attitude, most people are glass half full, some glass half empty, but alfie literally said it was EMPTY!!
The whole point of the £1 is to get a can of 19p pasta sauce and 50p bag of pasta. It's about experiencing having to think about how you spend. Not about looking for freebies.
Ex-fucking-xactly. Ain't no homeless person's first thought be free Krispy Kremes and mango slices, how are they going to get there on foot if the stores are a long way away? On an empty stomach, mind you??
I was literally just thinking that. Imagine including that in the video. Like, ok, living on $1 a day is impossible for most of us because we already own our beds, pay rent, electricity etc but like. It's just poor taste to include that in a video about poverty!
@@dababy3588 he's on almost every comment he doesn't understand what thousands of people have to deal with in the UK and around the world in other word he's inconsiderate.
takes the piss they give that shit away for free to twats like him who just make RU-vid videos instead of starving people who could really use the food more than him.
Imagine being like this guy, complaining about not being able to have purified water with ice. Wow, and there are actually people out there who struggle to find food.
@@Kcc8256 he said tap water is free 😠. Like jaackmaate said Alfie is so ignorant in this just because he can't have his posh purified water from his personal gym with his personal trainer like they don't cost money. Then he went bloody shopping and brought things like a beard comb and earrings ffs
@@eleanorhenson8059 jaackmaate is a prick tbh and yes many many people say tap water is free as you have to go out to the shop and buy it, it come with bills. Many people have done the challenge and i see nothing wrong with it, he is use to having the water everyday thats all.
So you're saying that there's nothing wrong with this video and what alfie said and did in this was fine? He took it down from RU-vid because of how many people said how bad it was
That’s honestly rough but let’s ignore that & because he can’t sell his house. He literally spent 100s or 1000s of $ and said it didn’t count🤣🤣 also I don’t like him
@@iluvpink1176 I know what u mean but I do genuinely think he got them for free. The guy behind the counter knew him and also it’s beneficial for a company to give youtubers free stuff as it gets them talking about the brand and therefore promoting it. It’s the same logic behind why airlines upgrade youtubers to first class because then they make a video about the experience and give the airline free exposure.
@@cameronslade6452 the guy from the counter may have known of him, but Alfie certainly didn’t know him 😂 that Krispy Kreme guy was just trying to suck up to Alfie for clout
Dizzy 396 yes waitrose and marks and spencers. Tesco,asda aldi Morrison's are for the rest of us. Although I do love m and s when I lived there. Iceland and lidl cheap shops
How hard is it for him to work out there's Google and a thing called searching just literally got their water rates £1.365 (which the half penny would of course always be rounded up to the next so indeed would be £1.37, though to be fair that is per cubic meter lol. Something really annoys me about his voice, and his linguistics are about as mature as a 10 year old to be brutally honest, by posh I think he means quality did this idiot not take any kind of GCSE's in English? Thick as shit seems to be evident in him, thought to be fair spend a lot of time taking the piss out of a friends friend called Charlotte who's about as bright as a fucking black box in a windowless room with the lights off *rofl*
Also really peeved off with him for not thinking things through, though can't say I am at all surprised, but makes me feel like that what I do with countless others who've had severe financial problems either through no fault of their own, or people like me suppose its half and half, effectively had a business that was falling apart before the trial of it and attempt at trying it out they took my benefits away from me at the time and I just went on one massive mental break down. Member of DPAC as I am not in the best set of health right now (Disabled People Against Cuts) which with what I do with them makes the things we do collectively seem like a fucking joke and that's what makes me angry!

I'm a single mum who's diabled. I have too feed a family of 4 on £1 a day sometimes and that means no free coffees and big boxes of free donuts! I wished people would stop this challenge. For you it's a game, for us its reality. No free stuff just hardship. This video makes me angry.
Just cause u are poor and he isn't doesn't mean he isn't allowed to do this challenge.. also from ur video 3 weeks ago you had a boyfriend? so what do you mean single mum
Diablo the point is that he is sitting in his £100,000+ home with expensive clothing and a range rover talking about how hard it would be to spend just £1 for food. Thats something that lower class people have to think about everyday. Not even that, im pretty sure the average person would not be able to walk into Krispy Kremè and get a box of free donuts.
I know but thats not the point that SHE is making she says "i wish people would stop doing this challenge" literally trying to say everyone should stop..
I'm sorry to hear about your struggle. I don't think people should stop the challenge though. This is my reality too, I am living under the poverty line because of my disability and am about to upload a 'real' live below the line video. :) There are some very insightful videos from others who do this as a challenge who aren't stuck up and out of touch with reality like mister Deyes over here. x
He explains his challenge....from his second house. So out of touch it's crazy. Why is Thailand cheap? It's not for the people who live there, it's all relative to your personal and geographical circumstances
missbrightstar247 Almost as if he thinks poverty doesn't exist in the UK.... As soon as he said Thailand I was like what? You know there are people on your door step that have barely anything to eat right?
Yeah I was gonna say, Thailand might be "cheap" for someone in the first world. But it's considered to be a developing second world country. There may be some people in poverty there, but there's also a lot of opportunity and economical growth. They're pretty well off compared to ACTUAL third world countries.
AbbiMaii Waitrose card is free isn't it? But yeah I see what you mean Waitrose is a middle class grocery store but you can exploit the free coffee since buying something like one apple means you can get a free hot drink
AbbiMaii *sorry* the challenge wasn't meant to portray homeless people. It was intended to see if he could limit his food and drink intake to £1. Why do you not understand that?
"Living on £1 for a day" *complains he can't use ice or filtered water from his home gym* *brags about only having tap water for breakfast (a reality that many people face everyday)* *gets free food because he has connections* *walks around wearing a gucci backpack all day* *goes shopping for clothes, earrings, a BEARD COMB and pizza for his girlfriend* *goes home to his million pound mansion* *tells everyone they should get a therapist because "it's awesome!" and not at all expensive!* *gives 7p to charity- (Alfie Deyes net worth 2018- $5 million)* "I did it guys, smash that like button" "this was crazy I want to do it again!" NEXT.
Lizzie Robertson yes we have normal shops like Tesco, Sainsbury's, asda, morrisons and then we have cheaper ones like Aldi and Lidl.Then we have expensive ones that are better qualitie like Waitrose and marks and Spencer's. Waitrose is the most expensive and is where someone like him would shop, but not for a £1 challenge
he describes a glass of water without ice as 'empty' when there are children in Africa that have to walk miles everyday in the scorching heat to get to a water supply - disgraceful
How far can this conversation goes? Should I feel bad because I have house can stay? Should I feel bad because I have clean water can drink? Should I feel bad because I have food can eat? Should I feel bad because I have internet and iPad so that I can watch this video and reply your comment? I don’t know. Should you feel bad as well? I do appreciate things I have now. I do understand world is not very fair. We all spoiled because we were born in those rich countries. I don’t really understand why you think his behavior is disgraceful. I believe after this challenge he will more appreciate everything he had. He started to notice all the little things he does day by day are not so easy to get in the video. I think we should all do this challenge then we will know how easy is our life now. And we will be more considerate of those people really live on very little budget. Do you really care Africa children that much? Did you donate your income very regularly? Did you ever try to think a plan to fix the problem? If you do you are probably better than most of people. But if you are just using those Africa children to against someone you never done anything to those children. I don’t know. Is that a amazing thing to do? Are you really better than him? (English is not my mother language like other 75% people in the world. I tried to point out my view. Hope you can understand what I talking about) thank you for reading all xx
VOUVOUNI TIMBERLAKE No one saying he needs to feel bad, you just need to have empathy. Alfie said “Omg?? I can’t have ice cubes OR use my own filtered water machine? Tap water it is I guess..” whilst walking about in his mansion. It’s not about not owning stuff, it’s about thinking before speaking
I don't get it!!! He can't use his coffee maker because the coffee pod could cost £1, yet he can drive into town with petrol that cost so much more!!!!
We;; you see, the secret is to listen to the video where he says that the challenge is to spend £1 on food and drink. I dunno about you but I don't drink petrol?
Things that people who have £1 a day usually cant afford: To shop at Waitrose/ have a Waitrose card/ to be super picky about what they want from the reduced section A gym session A shopping spree that includes a beard comb A PS4 to play Fornite A Therapist A fancy bottle for their tap water A fancy car to drive everywhere I dont think hes a bad person, I think hes a bit dim....... I think he would have done better to go in full force with it and even if he was given the box of donuts and coffee, maybe give them to a homeless person.... To be fair he did claim that the funds from the video will be given to charity.....
Are you kidding me? I live in Czech republic, I Have two children, I can 't find work, we have 200 pounds for whole month. In the end od every month I eat ONLY oats because I can not buy anything else.... Also Prague is super expensive for the rest of the country.... I came here from reaction Chanel because I am super offended...
It's it nearly as expensive there as it is in Britain. I have been in Prague several times. So you can't compare your 200 pounds with someone who lives somewhere else. And it's nobody else's fault that YOU have no job
@@wioi She said she can't find a job. In some countries unemployment is a very serious issue. You should show some respect for people that are struggling.
Dan Vanson that’s not the point she’s trying to make. she’s trying to make the point that Alfie is supposed to be living on £1 for the FULL day and yet goes through the day as if it’s a regular day. Buying things that ‘don’t count’ towards the £1 and taking his gucci bag with him, having a personal trainer in his gym. This challenge is to supposed to outline the poverty some people face everyday, instead he complains that he can’t have purified water with ice because it’s not in his £1 limit. yet he then goes to shop and spends more than £1 and says it’s not in his £1 limit. throughout the video he’s contradicting himself and not doing the challenge any justice...
@@elizabethp8188 No, watrch the video, he says the rules at the beginning. "My total bill for food and drink will be £1" He sticks to those rules throughtout the whole video
Dan Vanson rules? there are no rules to stick to £1 everyday. people that physically have to stick to one pound don’t have money to be spending like he does through out the video. they can’t just say “oh this t-shirt doesn’t count to my £1, so i’ll take it.’ that’s not how it works. if he wanted to spend money on something that was over £1 that was a necessity then he should’ve taken it out of the video. but, he bought something he didn’t really need and still kept it in the video which completely destroyed the point of the challenge.
This guy is so out of touch. Spoilt little rich kid no street skills. Most people know there is free coffee and chocolate in betting shops but he chooses to go to Waitrose lmao
yes go to the fucking council offices and use their computer everyone claims he is out of touch but everyone else is in the uk there is a benefit system those who are homeless with no help are either alcohol or drug related problems or have fucked up with the council so many times so stop acting like homeless people in britain cant get help its bullshit there is a BENEFIT SYSTEM! for christs sake they are paid living wage tell people who dont have shit to stop being so envious of those who do and want fancy things on the money they need for food etc.
sadie collins stfu what do you know let me guess still living with your parents scrounging or married with a husband who takes care of you.( insert any other privelidged scenario here)..who feels it knows so stfu! yes it is that easy! if people are not drug or violent dependant ( which sees people being rude violent towards assesors etc so they are sanctioned) it is as easy as filling out a form with many many many peoples help if you cant do it on your own dont give me that dyslexia shit as the systems here are so helpful for vulnerable people...its not easy to get housed in a borough that you want but it is easy to get jsa sign up follow the instructions esa you have a medical concern prove it and if your legit your doc will help...food banks etc ---so anyone who doesnt take it acts like they are better than to get help than to pretend to outsiders like you that they arent in a situation that they are-------so get out of your privelidged bubble rather than telling someone who clearly understands the benefit system what they know from what they dont know...childish and retarded much
nodayliketomorrow fuck me ur clueless, to claim benefits you need to have a permanent address and be seeking a job which homeless people can’t really do
Caitlyn Ala Alfie went round looking for free food, getting big boxes of doughnuts because of his fame. Tax bought bargains like pasta for 19p and sauces which were reduced
I don’t agree with this video at all but he does in fact give a lot to charity and pays for weekly drop ins for homeless at cafes to get food and drink
Cuz homeless people have a Waitrose card, a roof over their heads , access to water in their not existent house that has two buildings , a laptop , good clean clothes etc
A car and access to people giving them 12 box of donuts and coffee just coz they knew someone a phone or camera video games hate that he is so privileged and his viewer are so young and oblivious to it
Im not a fan of this guy but ive seen other people comment this shit on other youtube vids from this challenge.. but when do they claim to be homeless? all they are saying is that they are spending 1 pound per day they didn't say they were becoming homeless for the day
Diablo this challenge is for people to see how hard someone with less money or homeless lives and he made it really unrealistic so my point is he didn’t do the challenge properly and was disrespectful to people with a sharper budget
He's so ignorant. I could eat like a KING for £1!!!! Pasta in tesco 17p, reduced section of Tesco is kingggg for veg 15p, tomato sauce 20p, bread in reduced section 20p, jam 20p!!!!!!
Jeffree star donates over a million pounds a month or charity and doesn’t tell anyone V.s Alfie days donates 7p to charity and talks about it for half the video 😂🤔
People that actually have to live on £1 a day don't go to town and buy earrings and bears combs i cant think of anything less nessacary thank a beard comb ?!?!
He literally asked why it was that price cos he didn't expect. I actually can't stand people like you who just go through life like OH HOW CAN I BE OFFENDED TODAY THEN?
Dan Vanson literally they are only saying it cause the tone of his voice when he says it just sounds like a bit ungrateful idk it just sounds needy, like no hating on anyone I watch his videos but, and like you no nothing about the other person so don’t go round accusing
I don't think he realises... he is so previliged .... but I don't think there is any malice there... he is just dumb... he doesn't realise how silly and offensive he is being... but seriously he doesn't realise
Amazing Amelie He was made aware that he was wrong only after all the backlash. I agree with daloo3a; he’s just clueless and out of touch with reality.
I dont see why everyone is hating on him , he is in no way being offensive he is trying to see what it's like for people who do actually live like this and showing people how hard it I'd for them
@@daisydoo9677 Don't give him a pass because "pOoR liKkLe aLfiE just dwidn't undwestand". He is an adult. He lives in a country with a fast-widening class gap. He has just shown he isn't very intelligent, except he's scarily in charge of a huge amount of money. Not only that, but he's shown himself as so impolite, inconsiderate and selfish that he takes people _living in £1 a day, _*_below the poverty line_* as a joke. You can be the poorest, in need person yet still be one of the wisest. So what's stopping big man Alfie Deyes? Know why there's no excuse for terrible morals? Because money can't buy them.
@@user-nv7uq3zj5eHe was showing people how hard it is to live with only this amount of money and seeing for himself ( who has alot of money ) what it's like
Yes because buying a top game beard comb and a pizza isn't out of the 1 pound budget coz homeless people can go and buy that and say oh yeah it wasn't in my actual budget coz it wasn't food or drink Absolutely pathetic
Him: Says that he's going to spend £1 for the day. Also him: Spends over £200 on crap while getting a free box of donuts (for being famous) and a free coffee. Did he ever think that having that much money in your pocket includes travel fare, buying certain items and so on? What a posh privileged prat. At least Emma Blackery was mindful in her video when she did it.
smh telling people you're doing a challenge and accepting the extra free food that normal people wouldn't be able to have for free after?? how tf is that realistically living off of £1 for food??
"I prioritise quantity over quality" "I don't care if the food is posh or not" you get all of your food from Waitrose which is THE MOST EXPENSIVE supermarket in the UK and I don't even think you do a weekly food shop you just constantly go out and buy your food for that day and even then you'll probably end up ordering something which is WAY more expensive than doing a weekly shop and actually making your own food. So come back and PLEASE do this video again when you've lost your millions and are having to wonder whether to spend your next paycheck on food, water, heating, etc. like many others in this country are having to do
Even 4 yrs later so many feels. 1. How zoe didn't think this as out of touch. 2. How buying earrings and shit wasn't a pisstake. 3. How it still didn't occur to either Alfie or Zoe at any point how this is how poor people live.
Keep in mind he went to a Waitrose and used his Waitrose card in order to get the “free” coffee. I live on more than £1 a day and I couldn’t do what he did because I don’t have a Waitrose card due to the fact I can’t afford to shop at Waitrose! 💀💀
‘I wonder if I can go in there and persuade them to let me have the coffee before I do the shopping. Then I just don’t do any shopping’ I’m no expert but I think that’s stealing 🤦♂️
I know right go to Aldi get a bag of pasta and a cheap sauce sorted or even a loft of there essentials bread and a tin of beans or some soup he's such an idiot
Wow. This is painful. I actually pity him for his ignorance, while also being angry at how much he plays down a situation which is a daily struggle for so many people. On the plus side, while being tone deaf to the issue of poverty in the UK, it’s actually helped highlight the huge divide between this level of mindless privilege and the thousands of Brits living below the breadline.
I highly doubt anyone in Britain is starving unless they are so stupid they cant find a charity. In the US even our poor are fat, anyone in a western nation who cant find food is having a personal issue not a financial one.
He has like no idea of real life. Does he think the people who live off £1 spend the day googling how to get free food. Just go to Aldi and you can actually get at least two meals. That’s a pain au chocolat but ok. Of course it’s cheaper than fruit. His voice is annoying but that’s also just my opinion. As if I want to watch him beg for food even though he doesn’t need it. Then he buys a lot of random things like a comb for his non existent beard. Then he attacks my ear with that song (also technically besides the point but...) Thailand is not cheap if u live there.
Also, if he can’t have bottled water from the house, why does he think he can drive around to places, which also costs money? In theory he’d have to drive not further than £1 of petrol would take him, and then only get free food. Or walk everywhere and only spend £1 on food.
JJSparklesJen That too, and that he went shopping in town for unnecessary items and acted like it didn’t count. He couldn’t go one day without buying stuff and wait until tomorrow?
Sky Raven Oh right. Well it’s just my opinion, but I think travel costs should count, because when people have £1 to live on, they don’t get to decide that petrol doesn’t cost money.
@@freyachantal4571 Yep - if not more... in Poland for instance, stuff like medicine is over-inflated up the ass. Like paying 25 PLN (about £5) for a pack of Strepsils. And wages are lower than the British equivalent!
People are using food banks up and down this country to feed themselves and their families. He's so wondering how he can get A LOT of food for £1. Face reality, people are going hungry day in, day out. Parents starving themselves so their children can eat. 2 houses, 1 flat, 4 cars, buying useless stuff day in day out. He can never imagine what it's like for normal people, let alone those living in poverty
Alfie wakes up in the night..Alas, he looks to the corner of his room and a horrible sight occurs to him! Its his sleep paralysis demon back again to haunt him once again....its tap water
I heard everyone moaning about this video and I had to check it out.... mans living off £1 but he’s buying clothes and games which isn’t out of the budget? Behave
jonaskid715 he’s nothing to do with the problem there is nothing wrong with this video have you seen how many creators have also done this challenge it’s just his phrase of words that have put him in this put and people like you who just don’t understand what he meant
Tanya&Ivy Playz yeah, I don’t understand people offering me free food because of my celebrity status or going to a high end grocery store to try and swindle them for a free coffee 🙃
The point is he showed massive insensitivity to those that live in immense poverty (for more than one freaking day. This is daily for a lot of people), which defeats the entire point of the challenge. The challenge is supposed to raise awareness, but to him it was a game for a day. He shouldn't have even done the challenge. Man complaining about iceless tap water when Flint Michigan hasn't had clean drinking water since 2014. He shows how much of a clueless snob he really is here.
I'd not say I'm poor by any means, but working for a year in a fish and chip shop for 4 quid an hour (i'm 16) you get a different appreciation for money. I can't understand how someone can be so blind to how the rest of the UK lives, I'd like to see him live on a quid every day for a week using only things that someone on £1 can afford: no gym, no personal trainer, no clothes, no travelling as a mile in a car is around 13p in fuel.
Dan Vanson you’re wrong, you don’t have to be older to know the value and concept of money. That’s a ridiculous statement. Children are still affected by being in poverty, children have jobs (I’m 17 and I got one too) and some kids move out of their homes at 16. Let’s not devalue other people’s experiences and intelligence based on their age, that’s ignorant.
@@danvanson6983 What a stupid comment to make.Why does a 16 year old not have a concept of money. Some people at that age are running a house and taking care of siblings because a parent is ill,this is reality let me tell you . Peta i hope things are alright at the moment. Stay Strong
“An empty glass of water”...an empty glass of water doesn’t exist. Kids and people in Africa and other countries/continents would love to have some clean water. They wouldn’t care if it was flipping mountain purified filtered water with ice, they would just want some water. Can you not see how ignorant you are being? Complaining about not having a coffee and fancy water with ice when some people don’t even have water to drink. Honestly...
‘’Don’t worry I haven’t spent anything out of the £1 budget, I bought a t shirt,pizza for Zoe,a game for my family,earrings and a beard comb.’’ I don’t think this guy understands the concept of this video😑🤦🏻♀️
