I loved this video, so realistic!!! you just won another subscriber!
Love your videos. They are real, honest and funny with great tips. New subscribers here. I took a 5 week car camping trip from Texas to Yellowstone over to Portland Oregon up to the western coast of Washington and all the way down Highway #1 to the tip of California and back to San Antonio, Texas. Car camped in my Lexus RX 350. Traveled with my little shihtzu, Rufus. There’s just nothing like the freedom car camping provides.
WELCOME TO THE SNACK PACK!! 🎉 That trip sounds wonderful. What a great journey you had!! Thanks for sharing your experience and for watching!
Talk about success with a budget!! Conscientiousness while on the road.
It was better than I thought! And I'm sure I'll be saving even more $$ once I'm in my van. Woohoo! 🎉
Putting your expenses in Excel and reviewing them is a good way to control your money.
Cooking your own meals in your van is cheaper and healthier.
Yes indeed! Now that I'm in my van I'll be cooking a lot more. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for breaking, everything down. You inspire me to, take the journey in my car.🙂
You are so welcome! AND you can do it!! I'm excited for you.
Not sure which video I said it but wait till you try Crispy’s Donuts in San Marcos, Ca and if you get there early, you can get the cronuts that sell out super fast but that donut shop is AMAZING!
In 2019 I went back with my buddies and I bought a whole dozen of the cronuts and got 3 with strawberries and whipped cream, Yum!
Nice job 👍🏼 I need to go back and watch those videos 😃
Thanks! It was a super fun road trip. I'm looking forward to getting back out there. 😊
Very great video. Thank you for your Honest share.
Thanks for the detailed breakdown! It's always fascinating to see the costs associated with exciting trips like this! Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see more content, just subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed it! Welcome to the Snack Pack!!
Cafe du Monde! 😋 No budget for that!
YOU'RE GOOD with computer too.
Whrn i was on the road i lived on cans good.lol.
I am vegan .2 times a week i had hot meals.
But appples ,celery and peanut butter i eat a million of those. Lol
You could just set up your spreadsheet in columns and put your expenses in the appropriate column. Also, you could have it keeping a running total so you know where you’re at during the trip. Or an envelope system may work for budgeting for food or entertainment so you only have X amount to spend for a category. Good job!!!
Great tips, thanks!
Cafe du Monde is the absolute best! There is another place in New Orleans called Louisiana Pizza Kitchen that makes the best calzones I have ever had and I am not young:P. The crust is flaky sort of like a croissant versus the general doughy ones. Oh my gosh my mouth is watering. I just found your channel last week and I am enjoying your personality. I am looking into buying a school bus and turning it into a skoolie. I think the ability to downsize and minimize expenses would be a complete blessing.
YES! I went to Louisiana Pizza Kitchen while I was there!! I got some delicious pasta you can see here: ruclips.net/video/TrxIAkWg3z8/видео.html If I'm there again I'll try the calzones.
A skoolie would be AWESOME!! Blessings for your future adventures. 😊 and I'm glad you found the channel!!
Fast food eats up your Bank account. I did trucking fore the past five years. Id spend at least $200.00 plus a week. All in all with on bored groceries. I was spend at least $500.00 a week. When i started eating my own cooking in the truck, i slashed my bills by half or more.
Definitely! Food can add up real quick. I'm looking forward to cooking when I'm back on the road in my van.
Come get your arse back on the road where missing you for all your tips on living in the country side keep the good work you tube would be lost with out keep these videos coming
I look forward to getting back out on the road!
Yeah, that seemed good actually. I mean it's not like you were living in your car but being pretty much completely stationary. You were visiting places and doing things.
Yes! I think for the amount of places I went and food I got to try, it wasn't too bad. Thanks for watchin!
@@travelsnacks everyone wishes YOU would cut the longggg intros. It's quite rude to have a clickbait title, then go on...and on...about other things. THEN your viewers have to FF to what your title is about! I have unsubbed from many channels because creators take 5 minutes or longer to even get to the point of their video. One recent eyeliner tutorial headlined an expert way to do winged eyeliner. Then the creator sat there for 6 minutes pulling various eyeliners out of her bag, explaining why she liked or didn't like each one. Someone had to post a comment telling us to FF to a certain minute to get the tutorial, and everyone thanked her.
@@speakingthetruthinlove9895 👍🏼
@@speakingthetruthinlove9895 You don't speak for me in 'everyone'.
I like white coffee,to make it hot milk and coffee from machine,and couple biscuits or cookies chocolate and different colours.
These kinds of videos are so valuable! You really do give a true inside look on what it’s like when you’re not super cheap with yourself, yet you still try to budget when possible. I’m like this too!
I think the challenge for me would be the fast food... I really do try to avoid it mainly bc of health reasons but also bc its so expensive! I’d be curious to know if you have considered getting one of those portable stoves (is it possible to have electrical outlets in your car)? But I guess a refrigerator would be necessary.. what are your thoughts?
Thank you, I'm glad you found this helpful!
I thought about getting a portable stove for the car but because it's such a tight/confined area I didn't feel comfortable trying that with an open flame in the car. If you have a little table you could cook outside but if you are in a city, or parking lot or in a residential area around houses it might be weird. If you are off the beaten path that would be totally fine. But yes, you would pretty much still need to either have a cooler (buying ice fairly frequently) or buy your food daily. Hope this helps!!
Whats the program your using ..It looks helpful.
The program is Google Sheets (free!) Hope this helps!
@@travelsnacks Thank you.. Do you go into the State parks and Forests?
@@journeyoflovelight I hadn't in my car but when I get back out on the road in my van I'm going to!
If I had a crockpot for the big truck years ago I would have went more with my hippie. Now the crock pots have got better over the years ya might want to check it out at the truck stops.
Yes! Now that I have a van I'm going to use a pressure cooker. It's a 4 qt so it isn't as big as some of the others. I'm excited to cook on the road! Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!
Appreciate your doing tnx 😊
Excellent. What spreadsheet program do you use? How is amount on first sheet is linked to second sheet?
I use Google Drive, they have a spreadsheet option. Nothing from the first sheet is linked. I just used two sheets to keep all the data separated from the category totals. Hope this helps!
You can also use Excel, if you have a Microsoft plug. Or there's a free version (not Excel but a "faux" version that works just as well). You can use formulas to add things from one workbook page to another. But this is waaay more complex.
I would have bet money that your monthly total would have been between $1,200-$1500. Great job girl! 😎🤙
Money talks mine says bye-bye 😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂🥴😞
great Budgeting
Thank you!
Nice personality plus she’s fine and makes very entertaining and professional videos.
thanks for sharing this
No problem! Thanks for watching.
Even in car if you convert your car lighter to a wall plug can do a mini fridge or a nut wave oven easy
Definitely! There are several options available. Thanks for watching!
but did you try cajun boiled peanuts? because those are WHERE IT’S AT. 🤤💯
What effects did you use for this video? It looks vintage.
Maybe someone asked this. Did she say whether she included entrance fees and other entertainment?
Yes this included entrance fees and entertainment. I usually choose attractions that are free or very inexpensive when possible. Hope this helps!
Girllll I need to teach you how to Day Trade stocks. 👍Can't you write all your expenses off since you RUclips all of it ??
I have a camp chef stove/camping pot set(very small) so I just grocery shop everyday. Currently living on 1% of my income and investing the rest. Getting a PROMASTER in 6-9 weeks 🙏📿❤
I think day trading would stress me out! But yes, since I'm an independent contractor I can use write offs.
How exciting for your upcoming Promaster. That's the van I want in the future. Blessings to your upcoming journey!!
What are your cholesterol numbers?
Great job!
Thanks! You were one of people to request this video so I'm glad you liked it. 🙌🏻
its crazy people feel if you live outside its all free 🙄 so existing 24 hours a day costs nothing? water food air.. nothing free. gas washing clothes showering stuff breaks wears out.. and that was before the tedros-19 virus it was not easy. and as we age we need more.
$30 a day? If I do this kinda thing when I get a car maybe like 10 years from now I’m gonna cook the whole time... “thinks about what she can cook: ramen/pasta/toast.” Oh never mind
It's a real challenge, but it's doable!! When I get in my van I'll be cooking most of the time which will save even more money. Except for snacks 😆
I like squezzing the hair off a Washinton dollar. Fast food is the most expensive food around, plus the most unhealthyy. Try cooking your own food more often. Gas will always be the most expensive. I put money down on an Elio (50 mpg city, 80 mpg highway). My present car (2000 Escort, 35 mpg) I'm still working on so I may go on a "snowbird tour" of the southwestern states. C ya round.
Even in car they make car coolers
👍🏼
Where does your money come from
Your fun:|~~~
I think you should change the title to junk food southern tour
💯 😊
Please be attentive in how one says omG
🤣💖🤗 I love your everything
Aw thanks! I appreciate the compliment.
That is some cheap living. The eating out seemed high but overall not really.
Yes indeed! Once I get my van build done, I'll be cooking a lot more. That'll save so much more money! Thanks for watchin!
YOU HAVE ZERO FISH PLACES ON YOUR LIST WHY YOU DONT LIKE FISH, LONG JOHN SILVERS, CAPTAIN Ds, OR SALMON CROQUETTES PATTIES HOMEMADE. EAT CHEAPER, DO YOU HAVE A SAV A LOT NEAR YOU. SHOP THERE, LEAVE THOSE RICH PLACES ALONE THEY WILL KEEP YOU BROKE, GOOD LUCK!
It seems living is expensive in US. Come to Europe better.
Your van will eat the fuel, slurp.
Definitely! BUT since I'll no longer have a car payment it won't be too bad. Thanks for watching!
Your hilarious
😀 Thanks!!
Please watch this verse
Revelation 14:12
(1599 Geneva Bible)
12 [a]Here is the patience of Saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Dang she's at 3 minutes and she's still jabbering away at what DOESN'T apply to this video. I wish ppl would get to the point of their videos so we don't have to FF through it.
Cool tip...you can set the video to 1.5 or even 2x the speed to get the video to go faster! That way you can get through it more quickly and people who want to hear about the rest can still watch!
Chicken is not considered meat. It's fowl.
Wish you'd get to the point. Such a longggg INTRO! Won't be subbing unless you cut back on your intro's.
Wish you didn't post such a negative comment, but here we are! Stay blessed!
I like your long intros. Very easy and funny listening to you. Like a relaxing adventure book.
@@MelindaMc Thanks!! Much appreciated. 😊
@@MelindaMc Maybe you have TIME to hear someone's entire life story. I DO NOT!!!
@@speakingthetruthinlove9895 well it actually seems like you do have alot of wasted time in your hands that you have the need to spread out negativity! Get out of here with your bitter BS!
