This video is good, but it's even better to meet and talk to vegans in your area if they exist and are organizing vegan meet and greats, potlucks, etc. They'll probably know where you can get good deals on stuff locally. If that isn't happening there might be an animal rights org active in your area that you can volunteer for and they'll probably be somewhat interested in chatting a bit particularly if it's a slow day.
Thanks for making this a playlist!! Will be watching and taking many notes! I will have to double up this weeks one cause my man loves taco anything! ❤
If you are trying to eat healthy food on a budget I recommend carrots and cabbage. Purple cabbage is especially healthy. Frozen brocolli is much more economical than fresh brocolli where I live it's just as nutritious as fresh.
@@1029blue Very true. I also encourage busy moms and dads to keep a few cans of fruit in the fridge. As long as it has no added sugar, canned fruit is very healthy.
Also, some families might qualify income wise for school lunch. This might help with inflation. School lunches have more fruit and veggie options these days
I'm going to try all of the recipes But try removing your spoon sideways not over the pan and taste it and if there's anything drop Let It Drop on your hand or the counter but not back in the food and Stir It Up and maybe someone would like to taste it and you give them that no no no no no no no no but we understand you're young so we're training you LOL have a blessed day❤
Thank you for focusing on budget friendly eating. I recently spent too much money on shopping then realized that I couldn't shop again for 2 weeks until my husband gets paid! I've got to figure this out.
I understand that...that's what we deal with all the time...grocery shop 2x a month. It's hard not to overspend these days. The grocery prices are ridiculous!
For mexican rice, i love to do this at maximum laziness: in the rice cooker. Put rice in with appropriate amount of water, add Better than Boullian, seasonings, herbs, cans of veggies(tomatoes, black beans, corn, whatever) and then start the rice cooker. Makes easy burrito filling too for quick burritos to freeze for quick work lunches when you have nothing made to take with. I microwave for 90 sec, flip, 90 sec, flip back and 90 sec and its done!
I make my own tofu and good grief you get so much more for your money I get 3 times as much tofu for the cost of the soy beans as I do for a store bought packet. I coagulate it with lemon juice and it’s amazing
@@CheapLazyVegan ~ Hiya, have you ever tried black salt on your tofu? It has an eggy taste due to its sulfur content. Sorry if this has been brought up to you before, but I saw your comment here and thought I would chime in. Thanks for adding a positive vibe to this world! Cia!
1 Lemon=1$ 😮 Seriously ? We need to start cultivating more of our food. When we have many Lemons, we put the Lemon juice in ice cubes mold & keep them freeze to use them whenever prices go crazy. Totally agree for a video of Tofu making if we can vote ? Thank you very much for your cooking, with respect, Lemonia.
Maybe she accidentally bought a cintron instead of a normal lemon or at least some sort of mix between them. Because they are more expensive and have a thicker skin and very little flesh inside compared to the lemons we usually know.
Totally agree with what you were saying about adding lemon at the end. I do that too, but acid in general. If it’s not lemon or lime, it’s a vinegar. I’m never satisfied with a soup I’ve made til it’s finished off with a few glugs of vinegar.
Thanks for sharing the same feeling the rest of us are feeling with grocery shopping. Definitely laughed a lot at your outrage during the grocery shopping. Totally feel the same way. It’s $7 for a bag of chips at the gas stations now!!!! What!??? And then at the regular grocery stores it’s $4 which is what gas station prices used to be. Getting so outrageous! Obviously chips aren’t a necessity but I love me some chips 😂
I've also noticed unhealthy food is usually cheaper than the fruits and vegetables. $9 for a bag of 4-5 oranges? $10 for a container of strawberries or a bag of lettuce 🙄 I've been getting the $1.47 or $1.67 chips at superstore/walmart (store brands) because I won't pay the stupidly expensive prices for the name brands. And even the cheap ones are on the way out even though I love them because I'm sick of the price gouging of everything.
Because of the prices i am happy that I don't live in Canada and feel sorry for Rose and all Canadians and I am grateful that even though costs are increasing in the UK its still cheaper than in Canada. A fantastic vegan food haul Rose and love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Rose.
I live in the US and was complaining two days ago when I got my groceries. I now will be quiet. Most of my stuff was under $5. I spent more money on my pets.
I used a "changer"(?) canadian $ into EUR and tbh, the prices are almost the same in Gemany. I bought a frozen veggie-mix some days ago and paid 1,99€ for 750g. (2,90 Canadian Dollars)
I don't know how the income/cost of living ratio in Canada compares to the UK. Food in the US is crazy expensive right now, but I know that people in the US, on average, also have higher pay than people in Europe.
I was literally shook with how expensive it is (I live in the uk) but then I realised that $40 Canadian dollars is around £23 so I wasn’t too shook but still 🥲 everything is soo expensive !! Love these videos Xx
Loved this video :’) I’ve been struggling with agoraphobia and executive dysfunction when it comes to cooking. This made it seem carefree and easy to just go to the store and then prep, and I finally feel up to doing that again. Thanks.
Thank you so much, the prices on food has risen about 6.3% here in Norway just this year from january until now. So I appreciate your videos on budget friendly meal preps.
@@___Somebody___I disagree. If you have even a balcony that gets adequate sun, you can do grow bags/pots/buckets with many different veggies. It’s not even a huge time commitment. It won’t meet all your needs, but it helps supplement.
@@___Somebody___ oh I agree…not everyone has the location or the funds to get started bc there is an up front cost. I just disagree that herbs are your only option.
Thanks for the budget friendly recipes. Grocery prices seem to have doubled. I shop at Aldi’s and a week’s groceries for 3 was almost $200, but I am gluten free & my daughter can’t have anything with citric acid, so that makes ours more. But still, we used to get a week’s groceries for $100.00.
If you’re on a budget or just want to be waste-conscious you can save your veggie scraps in the freezer and when you have enough you can make your own veggie stock. It’s super easy!
I've never had or even thought about the hummus pasta, genius! It looks so good, yet so simple! I'm definitely going to try that for sure! I think we can all use this budget friendly style of meal prep right now. Food prices are getting so out of hand and this video just confirms it. Please make this a regular series! Thank you so much for sharing, everything honestly looks delicious! Love you and your channel! Cheers! 😘👍🏻💯🙂
Hey there! 👋 Loving this budget-friendly vegan meal prep! 🌱💰 The grocery haul and meal prep ideas are pure gold. Can't wait to try these delicious recipes without hurting my wallet. Thanks for making plant-based eating so doable! 💚🍽 #VeganOnABudgetGenius
I love your videos; always such good vibes! 😃I actually love oven roasted broccoli stems! And I agree, Better Than Bouillon really adds SO MUCH FLAVOR to any dish. I buy it at Costco and save a ton of $ on it.
I absolutely love this! I’m vegetarian so I’ve changed it up very slightly. It’s cost me £22 for everything 😃. I’m currently making the Mexican rice and it smells so good. I really need to save money on groceries ❤ so thank you! xx
Love those meal prep videos! AND.... I ordered the Complement essential after wathching a previous video from you! Love that I can take only one kind of supplement!
Omg! I love this bountiful and budget friendly video offering ❤It is really right on time for me 😊I will begin a new job on Monday so I plan to follow this meal prep on Sunday 💟Thank you 🌹
I started making lentil “tofu” & other bean tofus because tofu is SO pricey for some reason now 🥺🥺🥺 I still buy tofu but I’m definitely supplementing haha
I just want to say that I love how clear the labels of the prices are in that supermarket. Here in the states, the supermarket I go, the paper labels, sometimes they are so faded or peeling off, I can't even read them! And sometimes the items don't even match the labels smh. The scales also suck.
@@pear92Canada has sales tax added at the end too. But in the province of Alberta where Rose lives it’s only 5% It’s cool that some countries don’t add tax at the end. The price is just a nice round number. Whatever the price is on the shelf is the price. Love that. I’d assume that if government takes taxes fr the businesses, that it’s just included then.
Why is this like the 3rd time I have watched this video!!! I think your reaction to the extra lemon zest in the pasta makes me more motivated and happy!!!
i usually get that plastic bottle of lemon juice or lime one its a lot cheaper. I seem to always forgot i bought lemons and so they just wilt there in the fruit bowl so it gets expensive.
You can also slice your lemons and then freeze them. Good to add to water or hot water/tea or throw a slice in your soup or dish. Or you can juice then and then freeze the juice in and icecube tray
@@bearclaire I did make myself a jar of salted lemons from a middle eastern vegan cookbook that I love. I don't have much freezer space we have quite small fridge I think it's european thing. USA has massive ones compared.
@@lithiump0p688 ok yeah I'm in europe as well, definitely smaller fridges and freezers over here. And no walk in pantries or walk in closets or ensuite bathrooms lol
and I thought prices were insane in the US. I grow a lot of our food, I grow two types of tomatoes, cilantro, zucchini, Lions Mane, King Oyster, Shiitake mushrooms, various sprouts, i buy bulk quantity of dried pinto, navy beans and chickpeas and I buy 40# bags of wheat berries and try to keep 400# on hand stored up. I can make a very nice loaf of killer organic whole wheat bread for about $1.50. The 8oz of hummus you got for $4 cost me about .90cents. It has become almost necessary now to do it this way, but its WAY better grinding your own wheat and growing your own tomatoes and mushrooms anyway. I am going to make the Hummus pasta and the tofu scramble burritos this week for sure.
This video was super helpful! I LOVE these types of videos because food prices are getting out of control! I would love to see you cook without oil though.
Hi Rose, this looks really good. I can do conversations from Canada to American. I love to meal prep. Dry beans are so cheap but time consuming it’s your time or your money. Thanks for the video.
As a budgeter (in Vancouver) it's interesting to see the prices in Calgary. It's crazy how much tofu, beans, onions, mushrooms and even cabbage has gone up as those were my staples. I buy the traditional tofu snd it's up more at no frills than t&t (which has still gone up). Smoked tofu is a full dollar+ there over a small grocer. I also have to get bags of onions, potatos and carrots now just so it's not $2 per but as a single person, it can lead to waste (my nemesis). One thing that still rule at no frills: frozen spinach is usually $1 a pack, the equivalent of two heads. I also use my optimum points to help (buy essentials from shoppers on bonus days for the equivalent of $30 to sepnd on groceries later). It's pretty rough when the discount grocer is catching up to whole foods
You can chop up the onion and freeze them. Saves you wasting them and having ti go through the hassle of chopping them every time youre cooking hehe. Yiu couod freexe the carrots and potatoes to but ahould blacnche those first or make them into a soup or amd freeze that
@@bearclaire I do freeze a lot but another tradeoff with living in a city is limited space. There's also this annoying trend of landlords providing smaller and smaller fridge/ freezers so mine fills up pretty fast. One day I'll have to leave due to the cost of living and I will buy a big ole fridge AND a deep freeze!
Yes, the discount grocers are catching up to the other stores because in a lot of places they are all owned by one parent company and so there's no competition. The gov't should be doing something about it but of course it's not.🙄
For budgeting buy dry beans not canned beans they are exponentially cheaper and just need to sit in water overnight and then cook for a few hours. Almost completely hands off and you get 5-8 times as much food for the price.
Wow, I realize how lucky I am that Italy still has low grocery prices... I mean, compared to our salaries it's quite proportionated anyways, but still! A can of chickpeas will usually be 0.50-0.60 cents, same for all the other beans, tomato sauce will be 0.90 cents for a liter, a lemon can be found at 0.30 cents per lemon...
I get tofu from sunrise in Vancouver 3 for $1 and cheap produce stores better than wal mart wal mart to expensive for food lol i love watching u shop to compare
Love sunrise. Moved from mt pleasant to south Van so it's harder to get to but miss it (though can be rough to go through the area for some people, I'm comfortable there).😊
The lemons I usually get are either 3 or 4 for a dollar, but they’re the smaller ones. The larger ones do cost more, & I’ve had the same thing happen with both sizes, the thick peeling. Rinds? The outside.
You video pop up..and subscribed..love your content..trying to eat healthy 😫..it's a struggle to stick to eating healthy and with the prices soo high..but am excited to try your recipes 🥰
Loves it! Thanks for this video. I live in northern Canada, so feeling the heat of grocery inflation. Whenever I can find tofu on sale I buy a few extra packs and throw them in my freezer. I had a stockpile I just used up, and was surprised at the rise of tofu. It’s redonk!
Since Covid-19 everything went sky high in prices. USA here and I always joke that our prices here are Canadian now, but I guess Canadian is up another notch now.
I gasp at the cost of groceries in the eastern area of the US. You would think because of it being the summer growing season produce wpuld be cheaper but it's not plus the crops are looking pretty bad and don't taste as good any more. There are alot of items I won't buy anymore and if others do the same maybe prices will go down.
The grocery budget lately has been a STRUGGLE. This is the kind of content I need right now.
EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE!
Inflation all over the world
Fr… I’m 5 months late, but I have about $400/mo to spend on groceries… and nothing else. It’s insane out here.
I currently have two part time jobs and still qualify for food stamps because of how insane the housing market and inflation is where I live 🙃😅
This video is good, but it's even better to meet and talk to vegans in your area if they exist and are organizing vegan meet and greats, potlucks, etc. They'll probably know where you can get good deals on stuff locally.

If you are trying to eat healthy food on a budget I recommend carrots and cabbage. Purple cabbage is especially healthy. Frozen brocolli is much more economical than fresh brocolli where I live it's just as nutritious as fresh.
If not more, since it's usually frozen at peak freshness and stays fresh until you eat it. No need to worry about it going bad, either.

I also use my optimum points to help (buy essentials from shoppers on bonus days for the equivalent of $30 to sepnd on groceries later). It's pretty rough when the discount grocer is catching up to whole foods
You can chop up the onion and freeze them. Saves you wasting them and having ti go through the hassle of chopping them every time youre cooking hehe. Yiu couod freexe the carrots and potatoes to but ahould blacnche those first or make them into a soup or amd freeze that
@@bearclaire I do freeze a lot but another tradeoff with living in a city is limited space. There's also this annoying trend of landlords providing smaller and smaller fridge/ freezers so mine fills up pretty fast. One day I'll have to leave due to the cost of living and I will buy a big ole fridge AND a deep freeze!
Yes, the discount grocers are catching up to the other stores because in a lot of places they are all owned by one parent company and so there's no competition. The gov't should be doing something about it but of course it's not.🙄
For budgeting buy dry beans not canned beans they are exponentially cheaper and just need to sit in water overnight and then cook for a few hours. Almost completely hands off and you get 5-8 times as much food for the price.
This was amazing Tysm for working on this for us
More budget meal prep plz 😊
That hummus pasta looks incredible. I'm going to make that this week for sure.
Wow, I realize how lucky I am that Italy still has low grocery prices... I mean, compared to our salaries it's quite proportionated anyways, but still! A can of chickpeas will usually be 0.50-0.60 cents, same for all the other beans, tomato sauce will be 0.90 cents for a liter, a lemon can be found at 0.30 cents per lemon...
I get tofu from sunrise in Vancouver 3 for $1 and cheap produce stores better than wal mart wal mart to expensive for food lol i love watching u shop to compare
Love sunrise. Moved from mt pleasant to south Van so it's harder to get to but miss it (though can be rough to go through the area for some people, I'm comfortable there).😊
Would love more of these!!
I’m in the Indiana here in the States. Broccoli here is sold by the pound and not by unit.
Great recipes and shopping.
Yup... crazy how expensive it it for a lemon 🍋 😩
I love budget meal preps!!
Brilliant especially using hummus as pasta sauce ❤🎉😊
Love your videos ....i fewl you pain...i cant believe how jigh the prices have gotten over the last year, year and a half its absolutely crazy
The lemons I usually get are either 3 or 4 for a dollar, but they’re the smaller ones. The larger ones do cost more, & I’ve had the same thing happen with both sizes, the thick peeling. Rinds? The outside.
Hi Rose, I made this pasta today using ingredients I already had in the house. It was very good 👍
Loving your work. Very inspiring
Definitely more!
You video pop up..and subscribed..love your content..trying to eat healthy 😫..it's a struggle to stick to eating healthy and with the prices soo high..but am excited to try your recipes 🥰
Hey Rose, in the middle of your written Hummus Pasta recipe, it switches to guacamole!
Rose Crocker! oh YAYYYY.:)
Great ideas Sooo much food ! And delicious thanks
I love your recipes especially the scrambled tofu
have you ever tried cactus/nopal? it is one of mine,my mom/s and family's fave plant to eat, i highly recommend
Loves it! Thanks for this video. I live in northern Canada, so feeling the heat of grocery inflation. Whenever I can find tofu on sale I buy a few extra packs and throw them in my freezer. I had a stockpile I just used up, and was surprised at the rise of tofu. It’s redonk!
Since Covid-19 everything went sky high in prices. USA here and I always joke that our prices here are Canadian now, but I guess Canadian is up another notch now.
I gasp at the cost of groceries in the eastern area of the US. You would think because of it being the summer growing season produce wpuld be cheaper but it's not plus the crops are looking pretty bad and don't taste as good any more. There are alot of items I won't buy anymore and if others do the same maybe prices will go down.
