So refreshing to see a "normal" vegan grocery haul where not everything is either super expensive organic vegan gourmet foods or raw fruit! Love that you included treats as well, let's be honest everyone needs some from time to time. This is one of the few vegan hauls I've watched that seems completely "real". Thank you!
+Lisa Doser agreed as well, it's good (and healthy) to see more protein & base food sources as well like the beans - those entirely fruit hauls aren't healthy at all in my opinion!
Are those foods the only ways to get them? I was told we don't get them at all and gave to supplement. (I haven't done much research on B-12 yet, I just got done researching iron and I'm going down the list).
Betty-Alexandria Pride yeah its hard to get them unless you eat plant milk or cereal fortified with vitamin b12, otherwise i think you’re supposed to supplement
This is great! So many people think being vegan is expensive, but in reality it's so much cheaper! This is exactly what my grocery hauls look like, lots of beans, rice, potatoes, bananas, and frozen veg. Love it!
This is exacly why I fell in love with your channel. Normal, cheap, accessible food. It makes it more relatable to a bigger audience that does not have vegan food replacers. On another hand, your groceries are pretty similar to mine. I usually get original and unsweetened almond milk (one for cooking savory stuff and other for the rest). I buy a lot more fruit because I looooove smoothies (plus, tropical island xD). Peanut butter and jelly because love. Some soups for when I am REALLY lazy. Avocados are a must if they are in season. Other things like pancake mixture, oatmeal, lots of tomatos and onions and such.
+Nicole Castillo Yes, avocados for the win!! I love avo, but I don't seem to buy them as often for some reason ahaha thank you so much for your comment and your suggestions too :)
Haha, I laughed when you showed jarred pickles with Polish label "Ogórki po kaszubsku". I'm from Kaszuby in Poland and it's nice to see our delicious accent on the other side of the world :D
The worst part of my journey is that I know nothing about cooking. So I have to learn to cook and how to shop and what to eat. And I'm only 15 and I'm doing it by myself so. Yea. Getting a job as soon as possible so I can just buy my own food. RUclips shall be my guide. Thank you so much for providing this resource for me.
I'm 16 and the only vegan in my house hold I cook all my food in big batches and freeze some then can microwave it when needed , it's all about prepping and knowing what to eat , making a meal plan allways helps me x
I'm 13 and a new vegan. This video was so helpful. I still have the same house hold products from before I became vegan but I am never buying them again once they are finished and replacing them with a cruelty free product instead. Right now I feel great physically and mentally. Thanks for the video!
+B.A.D. Dickie Yeah but keep in mind that soaking remove the phytic acid that prohibit owr body from absorbing minerals, espacially calcium, iron and zinc.
I'm vegan and so incredibly lazy! your videos are making my life so much easier and also i'm now eating food that tastes so amazing! so glad there's other lazy vegans haha!
I would like to see a series from you, that would be about a specific ingredients, like for instance chickpeas, broccoli etc. on how to prepare them, how to store them, your tips on what to make out of them. You do give that info sometimes in your videos but it would awesome if you would have a special video for it and it would be easy to find it!
it's great that you are buying lots of things in bigger bags, that way you reduce your waste tremendously (vs. buying a ton of small bags). I just wish potatoes wouldn't come wrapped in plastic at all the supermarkets although sainsburys now offers some loose as well which is great! chickpeas are my favorite, they are the best :)
+The Minimalist Ninja I think because I ordered online, even if I bought potatoes that weren't pre-packaged, they would put it in a plastic bag. I try to limit my plastic waste by not getting the food packaged in plastic bags when I get them delivered :) thanks for watching xx
Hello! I'm Algerian and we tend to eat couscous on the regular. My advice to you is, try to find brown couscous because the white one can cause digestive problems if not eaten with a lot of vegetables. Have a nice day~ :)
Hi Rose :) Did you know about the quick soak bean method? It is really great in a pinch when you need beans and you forget to soak. You just bring your beans to a boil on the stove top with lots of water. Once it is boiling you pull it off the heat and soak for one hour (no more than two hours.) Then you just rinse, drain and cook as normal. I almost always do it this way because I usually forget to soak them at bed time. Also, since you love cooking dried beans so often a pressure cooker might be a good investment for you because they make bean prep seamless and fast!
+Jamie Robinson That's an awesome idea!! I also did use my rice cooker to cook beans but I think I slightly burned them by accident ahaha i'm definitely gonna try your quick soak method! thank you so much
I used to be a vegetarian for a long time and recently switched to a vegan diet. I've been absolutely loving it and I feel fantastic. I love vegan butter, it tastes so much better than the real stuff. This video was quite helpful to refresh my memory on what to buy. I love how healthy everything is:)
I have a similar experience. Veganism is fantastic! I can save the animals, the environment, and my health, and I finally, for once in my life, have been motivated to form a more strict, structured diet.
THE BEST THING FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME LOL. I know that this isn't the end all be all, but this will definitely help me sit down and start organizing how I'll build my foods. Next, I'll start to work on building meals from the foods that I like and find alternatives for what I don't like. Thank you for this helpful, informative, well thought out video!
Betty-Alexandria Pride hardest thing for me is how they make all these vegan meals from SCRATCH!! IM like DANG??!! IS that the only way to be vegan? I can't buy already made things at the grocery store? My nearest whole food market is an hour and a half away 😞
I pressure cook the whole bag of beans and then freeze them. Saves on money and time in the cooking process and they are easy to just take out the amount you need from the freezer.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but the almond milk (and indeed other carton beverages) that has the sticking up 'bar' and the roof shaped lid, denotes, at least in the uk it does, that this is a chilled, conventionally pasteurised product and must be kept refrigerated. Tetra paks with the flat top or a slanted flat top are uht pasteurised.
........this is pretty much exactly what I buy...... Although I think pineapples are really cheap I tend to cut 2 of them up and freeze em to go with the frozen berry's and banana in a smoothie. and God bless Asda honestly it makes buying food so cheap and easy 😂
I'm just starting to be a vegan. And this video will help me and know what I need to buy to stock up on. I wanted to ask,can you make a video of meals that I could make with all vegan stuff please? Thanks!
This video helped me more than you will know. When I compare what I was eating now compared to before I was vegan 3 months ago, I am disgusted at my past self but excited for the future. Anyway, thanks for the great inspiration.
Thank you, you make this so easy to understand and very straight forward. You are a super cool messenger for a healthier world and eating for the planet.
This was so inspiring iv been vegan all my life and sometimes you do get lazy and want something on the go-as well as prep for the weeks ahead! You helped so much-thank you xxx
+upchur09 yayy!! i also got their meat-free pieces (i think that's what they were called) - i haven't really tried them properly though. gonna have to try the spicy burgers :) thanks for sharing!
not even a minute in but I already thumbs up the video because it was SOO HARD finding a good video detailing this without a long winded bs intro. I can already tell this will be soo helpful so thank you I appreciate this very much xx oh also a tip: I think it would be helpful if you included where you did your shopping! or if you know the best places to buy certain items for a better price. you gained a new subscriber :)
omg this is a REALLY good video!! I was hoping a vegan out there would make a grocer haul b/c i find myself buying the same things every week and I'm starting to get bored and am scared that I'll lose my track of vegamisn! its great to see what other people buy and what kind of stuff i can incorporate into my diet :)
I love the little hits of Helium the narrator takes, just makes the whole thing more entertaining ;) other than that I have most of this stuff in my cupboard so I know I'm on the right track. Thanks !
Thanks. I’m slowly but surely becoming more curious about this way of eating. Especially after recently watching What the health, and forks over knives
You could also add: Brazil Nuts for Selenium, Pumpkin seeds for Zinc, Essential Ground Linseed, or Chia seeds, or Walnuts for vital Omega 3 Essential Maggi stock cubes for Iodine Also : humus,olives, , yeast extract for Vege gravy, salad, soy yogurt, tofu, palm oil free peanut butter, mixed herbs, Ginger, and Pasta if you like
great video I can't get over how people always got to find something wrong with everything, couldn't find anything wrong so had to complain about your hands, and the gestures you make with your hands don't compare to the screeching of hands on a chalkboard/blackboard thank you for sharing was very helpful for my transition
Omg! I'm from Puerto Rico and I'm gonna have to start ordering from that UK website. lol Everything is so cheap where you live. Here on the island everything is so expensive. Btw, love your channel and your content. Definitely gonna try your recipes. Keep up the good work. 😊
Peurto Rican (and any Caribbean) food can be vegan too. There are so many vegetables and fruits on tropical islands that you can use to make vegan food :) Here's a website to give you some ideas - Good luck :) nuestracena-vegancuisine.blogspot.de/2011/01/pastelillospuerto-ricos-no-1-fried.html
+Finding Fay I have definitely tried some sort of Linda Mcartney sausages, but I can't recall which one it was!! they were really yummy though. thanks for the tip!!!
I found this so useful! I'm going to try to change my diet to full vegan in January and was looking for a good beginners store cupboard guide that's British supermarkets (I live in London too) so thanks!! Do you have any videos of sort of a top five beginner vegan meals that are easy to make with these kinds of ingredients? I feel super motivated o clear out and buy lots of good stuff now thanks again! X
I know I'm super late but my mom taught me this trick. We soak ALL our beans within that week of grocery and we cook all. After they cool, we freeze them in bags and whenever we decide to make something with beans it's just to thaw out and reheat cuz they're already cooked!
brown chickpeas is called 'chana' in our asian language.. u can make a curry with onions, green chilli paste, chilli powder, salt, ginger, garlic, carrom or cumin seeds, mustard seeds.. fry the onions, seeds then ginger etc. lastly a pinch of turmeric
The left had almond milk is the carton sold in the fridge and the right hand is sold on the shelf. Reading the descriptions online they are both UHT (ultra heat treated).
Thanks so much for this! We have a Natural Food store here, but other than ingredients for my recipe's, I never get all I need. Since this is general staples, I can really use it for shopping.
I'm not vegan yet, but on my way to vegan lifestyle and I find your channel really helpfull. I've been binge watching your videos for last couple of days :) P.S. Ogórki po kaszubsku, this is so nice to see a polish accent in here! :D
Wow your videos are soooooooo inspiring and helpful !!! I'm new at this vegan lifestyle (2 weeks in yay) so I needed some advice and your account is the best so far on the subject !!!! Keep going you got it gurl 😜
Just found this out last week but you can freeze already prepared beans so once you've soaked and cooked your dry beans get rid of the liquid and put them in a freezerbag and they should be good for about 6 month in the fridge! Havent tried it out myself yet (have a very small and therefore full freezer but when the space is there I'm for sure trying that! Heard they should taste just the same too!) :) Just thought as an alternative for the canned beans! :) Also, I can seriously recommend Oatlys ikaffe (alt. in coffee (?) I dont know if the title is the same for the english market or not)! Im not vegan yet but working my way there and that oatmilk was by far one of the better milk substitutes for warm bevarges (I've only tried it in tea, never used milk for anything else) but its really good! :)
Great video! Very helpful to see what vegan people eats. How long will this last you aprox? I really like all your videos very practical and easy to follow. :)
I know this is old. but I always re-watch these, for reference and I love your channel. the difference between the almond breeze milks are the calories . I just noticed. I don't know why, they would have different packaging.. but great video
Those pickles are polish. I really love sauerkraut(pickled cabbage) it's very good for detox, vit c or to make a cabbage soup. It should be next to gherkins on the shelf :)
thank-you for making this video. we keep some of the same staples.. my fruit vary' s .. I keep some of the same basic veggies.. and frozen mixed veggies.. or what ever is on sale. I put my dried products in plastics containers. so bugs won't get to them. and my sugar.. and I put . my flour in the freezer.. stays fresher. and again no bugs.
Yeah button sprouts are Brussels sprouts, I'm obsessed with those too. My son loves peas lol, I found some vegan butter (dairy free anyways) only 90 grams of sodium in a 2 lb tub I'm not sure if that part is healthy or not. But it lets me have some buttered toast when I want it, lol. My son and I put nutritional yeast on our toast and it makes it sort of cheesy.
omg those alpro are soooooo expensive in my country. Crying here its a treat indeed lol I buy them very exceptionaly they are sooooooooo good! Also I love almond milk looooooove unsweetened! but costs 2,70 euro per liter totally out of my budget. I buy the rice milk at Aldi 0,99 cents of a euros liter :) I feel happy for people like you that are abble to enjoy them :) Love your budget recipes and love you!!!
It's probably already been said, but just in case.. emulsifiers E471 and E472e which are in a lot of breads are both animal derived. There' a great app called E Additives where you can search any numbered ingredient on food packaging and it will tell you where it comes from and if there are any known ill effects caused by the additive. There are breads without those additives in them, just have to spend some time checking the labels :)
With the almond milk I thinks it's flat top is long life and can be stored in the cupboard for months until open, where as the pointed top is keep refrigerated all the time :)
These are polish pickles indeed :) Greetings from Poland, you are an inspiration and such a clever person. I always have a feeling that we would understand each other very well if we ever met. Just thought i would share haha. XO
The almond milk with the flat top is meant to be in a pantry for baking. Almond milk does better in baking when room temperature. The one on the left is meant to be refrigerated. The baking one is great for bake stocking almond milk. Or if you are like me, the smaller size helps when you dont drink it that often.
just found your channel trying to find recipes and ideas on more stuff to buy. I'm a new vegan along with my 19 month old and feel like I keep buying the same stuff. I subscribed =)
Pretty cool haul! I would highlight olive oil. In the blue zones of longevity, people consume lots of olive oil. Great with beans, stir fry, soup,base, vegan ,aye, etc. That is definitely a staple. We care for animals here until death do us part, but I can see how the dairy industry would be perceived as cruel if the magnifying glass were to shine on it. Too many animals treated as commodities. Animals are not commodities, they are living, breathing, feeling higher forms of life. I am vegetarian, and use organic dairy very sparingly. I suggest that being a conscientious eater is the best eater, knowing where your food comes from and how...seeking to reduce ecosystem and impacts! Good luck!
Great video :) Just a note - dried beans and grains can last a very long time - over six months, but they do go off at some point where they dry out and are impossible to cook, so check the date of expiration on every package before you buy. 50.00 pounds may be a fair price in the UK, but people living outside of the UK need to consider current exchange rates and factor in shipping rates if they want to order from there - it's better to find equivalent items available where the person spending the money lives :) I bought locally available versions of the items in the video when I lived in the US and later I applied that same principle when I moved to the UK and now I get the local versions of these things where I live in Germany - so it can be done. :) I find eating this way saves me money no matter where I live. Basically, most dried, frozen and bulk whole foods are cheaper - so learn how to make some yummy lentil soup, etc. ;) Good luck!
So refreshing to see a "normal" vegan grocery haul where not everything is either super expensive organic vegan gourmet foods or raw fruit! Love that you included treats as well, let's be honest everyone needs some from time to time. This is one of the few vegan hauls I've watched that seems completely "real". Thank you!
Totally agree! We don't exactly have whole foods on every street corner- or the budget to shop there!
+Lisa Doser agreed as well, it's good (and healthy) to see more protein & base food sources as well like the beans - those entirely fruit hauls aren't healthy at all in my opinion!
+Lisa Doser awww so sweet of you!!! haha yes, i gotta have the treats ;) thanks for your lovely comment
+princesscharlott1983 who can afford whole foods in this economy?? lol
+Sonia Iyer it's all about the beans!!
If you watch this with no sound it's just her tapping and caressing the food over and over and it is hilarious
Tyler Mueller 😂
for vegan people don't forget your B12 (tempeh, tofu, mushroom, fortified foods, vitamin) and omega-3 intake (flax seed, chia seed, spinach, cabbage, etc)
Are those foods the only ways to get them? I was told we don't get them at all and gave to supplement. (I haven't done much research on B-12 yet, I just got done researching iron and I'm going down the list).
I hate mushrooms
Betty-Alexandria Pride yeah its hard to get them unless you eat plant milk or cereal fortified with vitamin b12, otherwise i think you’re supposed to supplement
This is great! So many people think being vegan is expensive, but in reality it's so much cheaper! This is exactly what my grocery hauls look like, lots of beans, rice, potatoes, bananas, and frozen veg. Love it!
This is exacly why I fell in love with your channel. Normal, cheap, accessible food. It makes it more relatable to a bigger audience that does not have vegan food replacers.
On another hand, your groceries are pretty similar to mine. I usually get original and unsweetened almond milk (one for cooking savory stuff and other for the rest). I buy a lot more fruit because I looooove smoothies (plus, tropical island xD). Peanut butter and jelly because love. Some soups for when I am REALLY lazy. Avocados are a must if they are in season. Other things like pancake mixture, oatmeal, lots of tomatos and onions and such.
+Nicole Castillo Yes, avocados for the win!! I love avo, but I don't seem to buy them as often for some reason ahaha thank you so much for your comment and your suggestions too :)
Haha, I laughed when you showed jarred pickles with Polish label "Ogórki po kaszubsku". I'm from Kaszuby in Poland and it's nice to see our delicious accent on the other side of the world :D

You may slow down a little when your naming everything JK

You should get an electric pressure cooker! No soaking, you can cook dried beans in 30-40 mins at high pressure. It is amazing.
+B.A.D. Dickie
I should cook them with a pan before I use my pressure cooker just to appreciate my pressure cooker more.
I put them in my rice cooker! Soaking removes flavor anyway.
+B.A.D. Dickie Yeah but keep in mind that soaking remove the phytic acid that prohibit owr body from absorbing minerals, espacially calcium, iron and zinc.
I've been cooking 500g beans every Sunday and freeze them. easy to pop in
I literally did that today lol
I'm vegan and so incredibly lazy! your videos are making my life so much easier and also i'm now eating food that tastes so amazing! so glad there's other lazy vegans haha!
Rose! Make an updated one of this! It’s been almost 4 years girl. Loved this video

THE BEST THING FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME LOL. I know that this isn't the end all be all, but this will definitely help me sit down and start organizing how I'll build my foods.

This looks a lot like my groceries on a stock-up week, but I do a bit more with greens. Love the pudding idea - I'll be adding that to my repertoire.
I pressure cook the whole bag of beans and then freeze them. Saves on money and time in the cooking process and they are easy to just take out the amount you need from the freezer.
Am I the only one who was concerned about how hard she kept smacking those products? 😂😂😂😂🙈🙈
you're not the only one. lol

Anyway, thanks for the great inspiration.

I know I'm super late but my mom taught me this trick. We soak ALL our beans within that week of grocery and we cook all. After they cool, we freeze them in bags and whenever we decide to make something with beans it's just to thaw out and reheat cuz they're already cooked!
this was such a great video! Stuff like this is so helpful! :)
+Ally Sims so glad you found it helpful! thank you for watching xx

brown chickpeas is called 'chana' in our asian language.. u can make a curry with onions, green chilli paste, chilli powder, salt, ginger, garlic, carrom or cumin seeds, mustard seeds.. fry the onions, seeds then ginger etc. lastly a pinch of turmeric
The left had almond milk is the carton sold in the fridge and the right hand is sold on the shelf. Reading the descriptions online they are both UHT (ultra heat treated).
Thank you for the great video. Could you do a video on how you store your bags of beans and rice, and spices once its been opened?
So satisfying to see it all laid out! x
+Kim Burnett (HelloItsKim) hahah I know right, I was so proud of myself. thanks for watching xx
This is awesome, I was just about to go and shop for vegan products for the first time. Thank you.
+blackened08 yayyy!! :)
She keeps on doing that thing with her hands I'm not being rude but I get that weird feeling like when someone scratches the white board 😖
+Simply monika sorry! i didn't realise!! ahha
+Cheap Lazy Vegan oh it's fine and great video I am becoming vegan 😊👍🏻🙃can't wait you were one of my inspirations
+Simply monika sameee
+Simply monika im probably weird, but it kind of hypnotized me, i found it relaxing.
+Adrian Woodlock search asmr videos you'll love those
Thanks for this video! I just showed it to my mom, since she never knows what to buy for me and this really helped! :)
Thanks so much for this! We have a Natural Food store here, but other than ingredients for my recipe's, I never get all I need. Since this is general staples, I can really use it for shopping.
+Judy Price awesome!! I'm so glad it helps :) thank you for watching xx
I'm not vegan yet, but on my way to vegan lifestyle and I find your channel really helpfull. I've been binge watching your videos for last couple of days :)
P.S. Ogórki po kaszubsku, this is so nice to see a polish accent in here! :D
Wow your videos are soooooooo inspiring and helpful !!! I'm new at this vegan lifestyle (2 weeks in yay) so I needed some advice and your account is the best so far on the subject !!!! Keep going you got it gurl 😜
pretty spot on to my grocery hauls as well! Great vid :)
I'm so glad you posted this!
Just found this out last week but you can freeze already prepared beans so once you've soaked and cooked your dry beans get rid of the liquid and put them in a freezerbag and they should be good for about 6 month in the fridge! Havent tried it out myself yet (have a very small and therefore full freezer but when the space is there I'm for sure trying that! Heard they should taste just the same too!) :)
Just thought as an alternative for the canned beans! :)
Also, I can seriously recommend Oatlys ikaffe (alt. in coffee (?) I dont know if the title is the same for the english market or not)! Im not vegan yet but working my way there and that oatmilk was by far one of the better milk substitutes for warm bevarges (I've only tried it in tea, never used milk for anything else) but its really good! :)
Great video! Very helpful to see what vegan people eats. How long will this last you aprox? I really like all your videos very practical and easy to follow. :)
Ogórki po kaszubsku!! 😊😊 Yaaay! I'm from Poland 😃 You should try bread from polish shop. Polish bread is the best!! ❤️❤️
The Almond Breeze on the LHS is fresh so you have to keep it in the fridge & the other one is long life so you can keep it outside
I'm just starting out ,this is a great help,thanks for keeping it real ,love your channel :)
Such a good video for starting vegans! I will definitely share this to newly vegans who need help buying stuff to eat!
+VeganMadeYeezy thank you so much
:)
This was EXTREMELY helpful. Thanks for sharing.
I know this is old. but I always re-watch these, for reference and I love your channel. the difference between the almond breeze milks are the calories . I just noticed. I don't know why, they would have different packaging.. but great video
thanks for sharing. gives me ideas when shopping.
Those pickles are polish. I really love sauerkraut(pickled cabbage) it's very good for detox, vit c or to make a cabbage soup. It should be next to gherkins on the shelf :)
thank-you for making this video. we keep some of the same staples.. my fruit vary' s .. I keep some of the same basic veggies.. and frozen mixed veggies.. or what ever is on sale. I put my dried products in plastics containers. so bugs won't get to them. and my sugar.. and I put . my flour in the freezer.. stays fresher. and again no bugs.
Yeah button sprouts are Brussels sprouts, I'm obsessed with those too. My son loves peas lol, I found some vegan butter (dairy free anyways) only 90 grams of sodium in a 2 lb tub I'm not sure if that part is healthy or not. But it lets me have some buttered toast when I want it, lol. My son and I put nutritional yeast on our toast and it makes it sort of cheesy.
+Sarah Adam haha yeah i don't think there's anything wrong with a little vegan butter! I also love nutritional yeast
Oh, I totally recommend sainsburys packet beans. They come in tetra packs which is much better than canned. Bit more expensive but worth it :)
I'm from the UK and we call them brussel sprouts. I think button sprouts are smaller, rounded versions of them like button mushrooms!
+Plum Guntrip either way - they are delicious haha thanks for watching xx
oh, i've never used almond milk for oats/cereal before, but i've used in for hot chocolate (not much taste) and curry
The small containers of alpro yoghurt with citrus is really really good, so creamy and tasty
+Stine Kirkeby my god alpro changed my life. I should work at alpro. haha
This was so helpful! TYSM! Instantly subscribed, keep on making videos, girl:)
omg those alpro are soooooo expensive in my country.
Crying here its a treat indeed lol I buy them very exceptionaly they are sooooooooo good!
Also I love almond milk looooooove unsweetened! but costs 2,70 euro per liter totally out of my budget. I buy the rice milk at Aldi 0,99 cents of a euros liter :)
I feel happy for people like you that are abble to enjoy them :)
Love your budget recipes and love you!!!
It's probably already been said, but just in case.. emulsifiers E471 and E472e which are in a lot of breads are both animal derived. There' a great app called E Additives where you can search any numbered ingredient on food packaging and it will tell you where it comes from and if there are any known ill effects caused by the additive. There are breads without those additives in them, just have to spend some time checking the labels :)
Yey Oatly! They have a lot of products in Sweden and they are all good!
loved the food haul, it all looks so good :P
Thank you so much for this haul!
With the almond milk I thinks it's flat top is long life and can be stored in the cupboard for months until open, where as the pointed top is keep refrigerated all the time :)
+brackers28 thank you :)
These are polish pickles indeed :)
Greetings from Poland, you are an inspiration and such a clever person. I always have a feeling that we would understand each other very well if we ever met. Just thought i would share haha. XO
The almond milk with the flat top is meant to be in a pantry for baking. Almond milk does better in baking when room temperature. The one on the left is meant to be refrigerated. The baking one is great for bake stocking almond milk. Or if you are like me, the smaller size helps when you dont drink it that often.
+friesxnxcoke great tips!! didn't know that about almond milk and baking! :) thanks
i watched this some time ago and it really helped me out.thanks
just found your channel trying to find recipes and ideas on more stuff to buy. I'm a new vegan along with my 19 month old and feel like I keep buying the same stuff. I subscribed =)
+I Dream Of England awesome!!! I hope my channel helps - great that you're a new vegan :) thanks for your support !
Pretty cool haul! I would highlight olive oil. In the blue zones of longevity, people consume lots of olive oil. Great with beans, stir fry, soup,base, vegan ,aye, etc. That is definitely a staple. We care for animals here until death do us part, but I can see how the dairy industry would be perceived as cruel if the magnifying glass were to shine on it. Too many animals treated as commodities. Animals are not commodities, they are living, breathing, feeling higher forms of life. I am vegetarian, and use organic dairy very sparingly. I suggest that being a conscientious eater is the best eater, knowing where your food comes from and how...seeking to reduce ecosystem and impacts! Good luck!
Great video :) Just a note - dried beans and grains can last a very long time - over six months, but they do go off at some point where they dry out and are impossible to cook, so check the date of expiration on every package before you buy. 50.00 pounds may be a fair price in the UK, but people living outside of the UK need to consider current exchange rates and factor in shipping rates if they want to order from there - it's better to find equivalent items available where the person spending the money lives :) I bought locally available versions of the items in the video when I lived in the US and later I applied that same principle when I moved to the UK and now I get the local versions of these things where I live in Germany - so it can be done. :) I find eating this way saves me money no matter where I live. Basically, most dried, frozen and bulk whole foods are cheaper - so learn how to make some yummy lentil soup, etc. ;) Good luck!
Alpro is not a UK brand, it's from Belgium! :)
believe it or not we have alpro in Saudi Arabia, I love watching your grocery hauls :)
ASDA I remember it well!! I lived in the UK for 10-plus years.
I forgot to say I was expecting you to say you shopped at Walmart or Publix that's why it messed with my head.
Love these types of videos 👍🏽
