    Live in the U.S. My husband and I have a boiled egg, fruit and coffee for breakfast. Those big breakfasts are for special occasions or weekends.

    Thank you for showing such tasty meals. I think anyone having to manage on a tiny budget should try and find enough spare € for cheap multi-vitamin tablets. One tablet every second day would help them keep their health.

    I want to say breakfast here in the USA during the workweek breakfast is not large. Everyday I eat a bagel and small coffee for breakfast, my Husband has a banana. When our kids are at home and we are all together breakfast can be larger. Sometimes I make the kids french toast (or pancakes) with eggs, & sometimes bacon or fried ham or sausage. Usually we will add a piece of fruit like bananas or cut apples strawberries

    I follow someone in Australia who uses their Thermomix every video. It's amazing what that can do. I dont understand why it isn't being sold here in the USA. She had a KitchenAid also, so I know it's not because we have KitchenAid. You mentioned Vitamix, but Vitamix is just a fancy blender. That has a scale, it cooks, it is a good processor, it has recipes installed in it which it automatically creates for you, it has a built-in scale, it can mix dough. So much more than Vitamix which is awful in comparison. I wish we had these in the USA ,😕

    • @CocosUniverse
      @CocosUniverse  8 месяцев назад +1

      Hey Amy! :) The Thermomix is not sold in stores, I think you always have to order it online, be it in Germany or the US. Here is a link with more information for the US market: www.thermomix.com/products/thermomix-tm6
      I can honestly say I love that thing, although it is quite expensive...

    Also …. Fast unmöglich mit 10€ die ganze Woche. Unglaublich was alles kostet. Ich stelle trotzdem immer wieder fest das vegetarische Zutaten das günstigste sind. Sobald Fleisch oder Fisch im Einkaufswagen ist wird’s teuer.
    Ich war im edeka. Habe auch die barilla für 88 Cent gekauft. 4 Stück. Bin gespannt wie das Video endet.

    • @CocosUniverse
      @CocosUniverse  8 месяцев назад +2

      Ja, Fisch und Fleisch sind extrem teuer. Ich bin sowieso Vegetarierin, daher fallen diese Kosten bei mir raus, aber mit Fleisch wäre es nicht möglich. Bei Netto sind Wurst und Fleisch nahe am Verfallsdatum meist um 30% reduziert - wenn man sie gleich verarbeitet oder einfriert kann man da definitiv etwas sparen. :)

      @@arraybabe8514 I follow a lot of people in the US who do videos just like this. It is indeed possible but food prices also vary more across the US than in Germany. Here, it doesn't really make a difference where you are. I lived in Massachusetts before, that isn't exactly known for being the cheapest part of the US. I follow one channel where somebody did budget videos in NYC. Not a cheap place either. She did really well. Also, important to remember, the cheapest items are not always the same everywhere. From my experience, bananas are usually cheaper in the US, including the ones that are usually a premium price over here. Chicken is often significantly cheaper depending on where you are. Fresh corn is cheaper. Most dried beans are also cheaper because they are just a lot more common in a lot of recipes and with people from certain cultures. Just to name a few. Also, ethnic supermarkets when you have them around, never to be underestimated.

    Your breakfast looks more like a french one... at least here in NRW breakfast contains Brötchen or Brot... one or two, with Käse, Wurst or Marmelade, Butter underneath... not really frugal

    • @CocosUniverse
      @CocosUniverse  8 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, absolutely, I said that for most Germans it's a slice of bread with butter and marmelade or honey. Or, in your case, cheese and deli meat. But for me personally, a slice of bread or Hefezopf is more than enough. :) And if you need to be frugal, or have a very limited budget, you just have to cut out the cheese and the deli meat.

    Germany is where the angles and the saxons came from so surely Germany is the anglo saxon world?

    • @CocosUniverse
      @CocosUniverse  5 месяцев назад

      Well, technically you are right, the Angles and Saxons came from the area we call Germany today, but since they all went to the British Isles and English as a language developed there, the Anglo-Saxon world is nowadays seen as the area in the world where English is spoken (as a first language/mother tongue).
