    I hope that even if Vaughn gets into a relationship he continues this Cooking For One series. It’s indispensable for this single person who hates cooking for themself.

      I do tapas for one. Really nice dinner of some sort of dip (mayo and paprika and or hot sauce; romesco, cocktail sauce) and about 5 or 6 things that would go in it. shrimp, cheese, roasted potatoes, small piece of sourdough, something like brocolli or asparagus.

    Ok. Grocery shopping is an art.
    Meal plan.
    Make a list.
    Learn the layout.
    Don't go in hungry.
    The best way to save money is eat everything you cook.
    Looking at deals is secondary but never miss an opportunity to buy items on sale that you ALREADY use!
    I do most of the cooking for a family of 5. We eat extremely well. Had ribs with a salad for supper to guve you an idea. 125$/person for a month. That's everything! Snacks, meals, drinks.

    Okay, I thoroughly enjoyed Vaughn's commentary and all these super realistic meals. I cannot wait to make some of these!
    What I realized is that I kept having to pause the video to process what he was was making. Like YES he is charming and we want a whole show just about him, but ALSO can we not flash the ingredients and actual closeup of the meal for only .2 seconds? I had to keep rewinding to gather the actual point of the video and it took me twice as long to finish this video lol.

    Great idea for a video because I’ve always wondered about the cost benefit analysis of cooking for one as opposed to going to a cheap meal out. May I make a suggestion? I would have liked a cost breakdown of each meal, not only in dollars and cents but also in the “hands-on” time spent on each meal. I guess not the right video for that, but the title is sort of misleading.

    • @kstreet
      @kstreet 2 года назад

      Budget Bytes does that, giving cost breakdowns per ingredient/serving in recipes, plus sometimes tips to cook efficiently or get a better value out of your ingredients. Though her cooking is a little more on the practical rather than gourmet side of things, I've found excellent recipes from her that I've enjoyed time and time again.

    • @moonie8830
      @moonie8830 2 года назад +3

      Yeah the title doesn't work with the content of the video, but I can't imagine that it would ever be cheaper to get food prepared by others than yourself. It it's cheap, the hidden cost will probably be in how the food lacks nutrition and makes the consumer sick if it's eaten often.

    One tip I would add for handling a whole loaf of bread while living alone is to slice and then freeze each piece in tin foil (and ziplock). Takes a bit of time but then you just grab two slices and throw in the toaster every morning and you are good to go 👍
    Another tip would be to make a large dish (a curry, a biryani) and just reheat the next day- but I believe for this exercise he wanted to avoid that 🤔

    It took a lot of trial and error for me to get in a groove for food prep for myself (I'm single & really busy).
    I used to pack up complete meals in special containers, but not all meals keep well or reheat well.
    I now do the following:
    Breakfast M-F is the same thing all year (oatmeal with raisins, cinnamon, & a pinch of salt, plus coffee with cream & sugar)
    Breakfast on the weekends is relatively special but still quick, like 2 eggs scrambled with ham & swiss, or greek yogurt with mango & almonds.
    For lunches & dinners T-F, I bulk prep on Monday after work & wash/chop veggies (packaged seperately), cook protein & cut into portions, make grains/rice/pasta, etc.
    It makes it a lot easier to put things together quickly.
    For me, the key to avoiding food waste was planning amounts carefully, vacuum-sealing uncooked meat that was extra in the package, and using _flavor_ (wide variety of spice mixes, salad dressings, oils, vinegars, tubes of tomato paste, minced ginger, minced lemongrass, & pesto, a medley of pickled things, nuts, seeds, etc).

    When I saw you salt your breakfast cereal and use nutritional yeast/chili powder, I fell the rest of the way in love.

    Cooking is definitely worth it. If you have the time/space in a kitchen, do it! I've been making a lot of salmon and I found that it's cheaper to make salmon rather than to just go out to eat and have a salmon for dinner. The thing is, the quantity vs. cost that you get is really good. Instead of spending 16 dollars on a salmon dinner going out, you can spend that amount on salmon at a good grocery store and get much more with that money. It also saves you the time it takes to get to the restaurant or the fees that pile up while ordering. Likewise, fast food is another budget buster. Paying 3 bucks for some gross and unhealthy sandwich every day does not make sense when you can make much more, at a cheaper rate, at home. Coffee is another area that you can make a whole lot cheaper. Buy a French press, a tea kettle, and make the coffee yourself. It takes a few more minutes but it's more efficient than having to go to a cafe every morning. Also, each cup would cost around 1 dollar, and you can make a lot of cups per bag. It saves hundreds of dollars a month to make it yourself and it probably will taste better too!
    All these convenience foods and lifestyles are really expensive and a good way to save would be to stop eating fast food, ordering coffee at a cafe, and going out to eat
