I learned that if you put a paper towel in the bag of spinach, lettuce, cilantro, kale, collards, etc and then squeeze the air out and roll it and seal it well, it will last a whole lot longer than if you don't. Sometimes I even change the paper towel after a couple of days. It absorbs the moisture in the bag and the moisture is what makes it start to go bad.
I do that too and it woks big time
I do that too! Also with those big 'clamshell' mixed greens.
I swear by it. You can make celery last a long time. Remove plastic,keep whole, paper towel(I also change periodically) and roll in foil.
Thxs
Thanks so much for the tip!
I think is time for an update to this 2 year old video with these crazy inflation prices 😂😢 I would love to see you go shopping again to do it again at $100.
LoL.. yea... now he would easily have spent $300 for only 1/3 of what he got.. so fasting 2/3 of a month will deff help with weight loss
Just don't get the sht that's not necessary at all, half of the end of the video we're just heavy cream/yogurt, milk, ice cream, etc. You only need whole protein, vegetables, rice, etc. For your main meals lol
Mind you, I'm in Tucson, but I'm comparing prices in the video with my local Walmart. Some of them are as much as 50 cents more, Some were actually cheaper, but over all I think it balanced out to be about the same. His prices were for California though. I can only imagine how much they've skyrocketed there. I think for some people this would still be pretty cheap.
@@nottodayroseI am not in America but I have the same observations. Some things actually are cheaper. Some things are 2-3 times the price. Overall everything has gotten more expensive but it's better than during covid.
I definitely agree
DeLauer’s content has always been top notch. I tuned in over two years ago and began my process. I am 47 years and went from 275 lbs to 203 lbs in about 5 months, WITHOUT ANY EXERCISE, using only the content from his channel. Side note: I am incorporating exercise into my lifestyle because I think it’s an important component to maintaining good health. I can’t believe he continues to put this content out for free. DeLauer obviously believes in what he is doing, has lived it himself, and cares about humanity. Keep up the great work!
Organic chicken breast, same brand and label as fresh, is in the frozen open meat bin by the meat near frozen calves liver section. They don't put it in the regular freezer isles.
Oh sure. HE probly wrote that himself.
Some good info, but some bad. Never buy anything with " reduced fat, sugar, etc" in the label. Its not real food anymore. They stripped out some of thr natural food and replaced it with man made chemicals. Also all Crustacean/bivalves (non fish seafood) are highly toxic and full of poisons. Don't eat them.
OH MY GOD congratulations
Great job I had Covid in March I dislocated my shoulder elbow muscle ligament in my arm I write with during surgery it come apart two times I have changed my diet years ago and I got to change the time I eat meals I need to get help watching video and help each other thank you for share your story
After I watched this video, I realized that it was a year old. But no matter. I shopped along with you on the Walmart website and got everything that you did with the exception of I had to get Kerry Gold butter. My total was $125.20. Not bad at all for a month. I might spend much more than that in a week for one person. I’m in Florida and this is a year later after the 2022 inflation. Still not bad at all and you’re eating much better. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It was very eye-opening and informative. Keep up the good work!
My question is what did you make out of all this? Like what meals did you come up with? If you don’t mind me asking?
I’m watching this for the second time, a year apart. Now that food is outrageously priced, I’m having to switch more and more to these money saving ideas. I’ve always spent a lot on food (clean organic, grass fed etc). I just can’t afford to eat how I want anymore. I think I’m going to try some of Thomas’ food selections and just learn to live with it for now.
Sadly, every time I go shopping things are worse than the last, even at Walmart. I hope the increases level off soon. My kids are starting to understand that we don’t waste any food and I think they are learning an important lesson.
@@stephanienewton6618 im sorry but, the inflation is only going to get worse after the midterm elections. once the USA uses up its strategic oil reserves, the price of gas will dramatically increase and I'm betting inflation will increase to two digits as well. expect this number to remain high for a while. it will become the new normal. take care of things while you can and stock up. it will not be pretty when real scarcity hits
Tip: Anyone who meal preps chicken. Use a crock pot, toss the chicken in. Fill it up with chicken broth till you start to cover the chicken. High for 4 hours. Solid tasting chicken, that won’t be dry as you eat it for the week.
We cook the chicken with onions, carrots salt and some garlic for 1 hour, then put it out, dress it with pepper, salt and oil and roast it in the oven for 15 min. That way we have a juicy roasted chicken plus a soup, we add some soup noodles, kids love that.
Would it really last a whole week instead fridge tho?
Nuts! Get out of the snack aisle and go over to the baking aisle. It's always cheaper always. And they usually don't have all of the added nasty oils and chemicals on them. You can toast them in a pan and add whatever spice or flavoring you want to it. It's much healthier and always cheaper. Take the money you saved and buy some dark chocolate. Just a few nuts with some melted chocolate on them is a great treat. You just have to be mindful of portion control.
My favorite trick, too! And I store them in my freezer. This is a great time of year to find them on sale and buy an extra package or two to toss i the freezer!
What kind of nuts?
Great Tip. Thank you.
Yep, I also find the walnuts in the baking section are fresher for some reason...at least at where I shop.
@@chandlerangol6718 most . Cashews, almonds, hazelnuts,
Thomas you probably don’t realize just how much difference your small “off the cuff” comments can make in someone’s life. I think it was when you were shopping frozen veggies you shared the tip of preserving a bag of salad mix or spinach to make it last. That one tip is going to save me so much money. I’m an older woman and it has never even occurred to me to do that. That one tip “for me” was the most important take away of the entire video although I will probably reflect back on the rest the next time I’m in Walmart. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
I agree with her, Thomas. I caught that off hand remark too. I told over the tops of my salad bags but not tightly and not with a clip. But I'm going to start doing it!
Thomas you are young in heart and mind but have an "old soul" meaning you are kind and wise in the ways of the world. I am 75 and you have taught me so much.
@G Henry place a few filters in the bottom of the bag and they will absorb the excess moisture and help extend the life of the spinach, same for lettuce.
I rinse the whole bag of spinach in a salad spinner, spinning until as dry as I can get it. Then pick through the spinach. Any bad leaves, obviously, throw out. Separate out any okay but bruised or torn leaves and set aside and put the rest - the good leaves - into a big resealable bag with a paper towel and squeeze the air out without damaging the spinach. Those bruised leaves should go into a bag or plastic container and be used first. Sorting through and properly storing the greens will keep them good for about 3 weeks at least and will help you use the whole big bag!
I agree- I'm learning about all those hidden ingredients while Thomas goes through the store! I read labels but this is a serious education! Subscribed and watching again!
WALMART believe it or not, has one of the MOST AFFORDABLE food options for healthy eating. We get about 50-75% of our groceries there and their ORGANIC section only keeps growing 🤗
Especially with our draconian Gov running rampant on SMALL businesses I prefer to support small stores, proprietors that are obviously suffering the most. That includes small restaurants even though I can't afford much 'dining out' these days (as in take out). These last rounds of BS lockdowns will KILL many remaining small businesses. The backbone of this country and its tax base. Just disgraceful.
@@VoIPPortland Sadly. This agenda is sickening
Local Michigan Walmarts are pretty dumbed down when it comes to healthy choices. You'd be luck to find vegetables.
In my area, this is definitely true! Lots of free range, grass-fed, organic meats and organic produce at our local walmart.
The best you can get if you can find it is frozen veg. Might not be the best but it comes close!
This is life changing I have never heard of clean keto and as a mom on food stamps this is magic! Thank you for your videos! My kids are having a mom who is healthy!
Good for Tom that he put the refrigerated item back in the refrigerator instead of hiding it in a random shelf.
Yes, I use to work overnight at Wal-Mart and had to throw out so much food.
lol at my walmart you'll find a half finished coke bottle in some random section
I saw a woman put a pack of chicken on the cereal shelf once. I admit, I didn’t have the balls to say anything to her face but I did say “are you kidding me? How lazy and gross is that? I guess I’ll go put her chicken back!” very loudly, and she turned around like 😳 and hurried off. I do hope it embarrassed her. In all seriousness, that’s dangerous. Contamination is no joke. As that chicken began to melt lol that liquid would likely escape the plastic produce bag and end up contaminating everything around it.
He puts it back in the fridge at ~49:15
@@BMarie774 ugh this happened the other day. It was still pretty cold so I put it back. I have gotten sick off cheese with a correct date before guarantee someone left it out and an employee put it bacm
Love your channel. One thing though because I’m a farmer and I raise poultry. What you want for eggs is pasture raised organic. There’s not much difference between free range organic and organic unless it’s pasture raised. Those two are just the difference between a cage and a large enclosed barn they may have a tiny bit of room
To walk but they never live a natural life.
Thank you for that educational nugget :-)
@@rhondawills1123 my pleasure
That brand name “happy egg” is such a lie. There is no ethical animal farming unfortunately.
@@tanyah.1054 objectively false.
I disliked my stepfather, but I wish I had the eggs he raised. The shells were thick and difficult to break, the yolks were orange, round, and strong, and the whites were not runny. Commercial eggs look like the hens were sick and malnourished. Ours ate grain, oyster shell for digestion (I think that may have made the shells strong), and all of our table scraps and considerable produce trimmings like carrot tops, etc. Healthy and happy.
I would like like the meal plan from the Walmart haul for the month. 💯
Yesss!
Yesss!
Yes!!! This!!!
Yes
Exactly
I think this is the single most useful RUclips video I've ever seen! I'm a rather set in my ways 60 year-old who used to be able to spend whatever I wanted each week on groceries. But now as a single woman living on a budget this video has just given me new life - especially since prices have only
gone up even more since you made this video. I'll be planning for 60 meals a month and I'm so excited
Are we twins? I hear you. Best of luck to us in this $$$$ food crisis.
He won me over when he referred to Whole foods as "whole paycheck" 🤣🤣🤣
😂 Worked there 20 years ago and that’s what we called it lol.
Also the "Holly cow" comment on the organic beef😂
Whole check is real
Don't let that sway you. Since they were bought by Amazon, if you shop smartly, you can find amazing deals. Like 3-4 times a year they have 25% off all vitamins and supplements. They have an amazing Whole Foods Super Omega fish oil in Triglyceride-form. Not on sale it's an insane deal. 25% off nothing comes close. Their meats are also very fairly priced for the quality. If you get the app, you get sales plus another 10% off if you are prime member. I feel like I am a shill for Whole Foods but I get some of my best deals there! Let me know if you want any more.
It’s so refreshing to see someone talk about CLEAN keto. It is so important for not only weight loss but health in general.
Dirty keto is an atrocity.
& with so much knowledge to get the info across. I'm one of those "why" people.
You'd be plant based if you were worried about health
I understand what you mean but can we not call things clean or unclean and just call them how it is. Healthier options vs unhealthier options. Food isn’t bad. There’s options better for your health and worse but calling food unclean is diet culture, not health culture. 😬😳
@@tiaslays255 I think you might be thinking way too far into it. But you can call it what you like. Lol
I like how you went through your thought process instead of just showing a haul. Very informative.
That’s what I like about his videos. The way he explains products to us including the science part of it.
I have bought the “tube” of ground beef at Walmart several times and find that there is almost a pound of water in it! They plump it up so you get less meat-not really a good deal.....just buy the organic, grass fed;)
I mean you're made of meat but like 60% water by weight.
Some of the tubes have bread and trans fats as well
Its called a chub. I had ground beef from a chub once. It was disgusting, tasted like It has cinnamon in it, and had visible pieces of artery. Relative bought it at the military PX.
this helps so much more than what everyone's been telling me. I'm so happy to see what to ACTUALLY get (not just bacon and cheese but the right bacon and the right cheese) I hate asking what the diet is like and people just tell you to read the ingredients when I dont even know what I'm looking for 😭
He has more videos explaining everything you need or want to know.
Check him out.
As a now personal trainer, I will always guide my clients in the right direction, even when it comes to food, because how are you supposed to help people if they aren’t already trained in the label-reading process? I was always told this when learning about and coming into the health and fitness industries, and I CANNOT STAND it, because guess what it does? It makes those people still ask the extra question of “what brands are better than others” or something along those lines. Just take the time to guide people, and everything else will be much, much easier. Also, a funny thing happens when you show your clients that you’re willing to go the extra mile, you end up with more clients 🤯. Many trainers just don’t grasp this concept
ANY EGG IS BETTER THAN SUGARY CEREAL/PANCAKE/MUFFIN/ANY JUNKY PROCESSED FOOD. Do not stress about the tiny details. Learn as you go and just know you are doing bettet than yesterday.
I just wanna say thank you for making these videos, they are really helpful. I'm 18, and grocery shopping is probably my biggest struggle now that I'm on my own. I've aged out of fostercare, and I was never taught how to go grocery shopping. The first few months on my own I was living off of snacks and cereal 🤣🤦🏻♀️
Hope you are doing well.
Lol.. Hey, I'm in my mid 30's and am just now starting to figure out how to cook for myself and eat properly. I've been surviving on eating out and delivery... Lmao.. So you're doing better than me, kiddo! You got this! 👍
I'm proud of you on your journey in life. You can do this.
Keep going forward 💓. Your starting young. Didn’t have these tools when I was your age. The best to you.
Meal prep, and cook things and freeze in individual servings so you have variety and you can thaw things quickly. Make soups with less liquid so they take less space in the freezer, and add liquid when you reheat. I freeze servings of soup and chili in quart-size ziplock zipper freezer bags. Once frozen, I can lay them flat or stand them up like books. Get a small tub that fits in your freezer. Label the bags first, then fill them and clean up any drips. Lay them flat in the tub with paper towels in between to prevent sticking together. After they’re frozen, take them out and put them wherever they fit best. Set them in a container in the refrigerator to thaw, in case they leak.
I cook meats and chicken, and freeze individual servings in ziplock bags. Roast vegetables, sauté kale with garlic, and freeze in containers. I put about three servings in a small container.
By doing this, you can have excellent nutrition and variety.
I’m surprised and disappointed foster mothers did not teach you about shopping and cooking. But regular parents don’t seem to do so these days, either.
I laughed when you said prices in California are inflated. I live in Georgia and just did the comparison on the things you bought. Prices here are about the same if not more!

Yea he is full of shit. Its closer to $100 a week eating clean with good quality food. And its really closer to 150
Dang. I couldn't even feed one of my kids on this. Still, good advice. We're trying to cut our currently exorbitant grocery budget of $1500/month.
This Haul is not only keto friendly but, the budget and the meal ideas are excellent diet or not.
And punctuation is free!
@@blessed6395 OMG!!!!!!
@@TraceyBoyland 😂
Hope I fixed it correctly?
@@TraceyBoyland
This haul is not only friendly, but the budget and meal ideas are excellent, diet or not.
I always notice a difference with the texture of frozen veggies vs fresh ones. as much as i love the idea of frozen, it does something to some veggies that I can't get past.
Yes I agree. Frozen makes them like soggy and stretchy. I used to think I hate broccoli because I ate it frozen, but I found out that I love it fresh !
Nothing wrong with the brine in the frozen chicken. It is necessary for the flash freezing process, so the water inside the chicken doesn't crystallize in big clumps and make the meat mushy.
I bought whole chicken breasts that were organic, split them and stuffed with dried cherry tomatoes, feta and goat cheese, cooked spinach in avocado oil, wrapped them in bacon , kept one out to cook and froze the rest. Salmon cakes are da bomb with a poached egg and sauteed spinach on top. The chicken breasts were huge so it made enough for 2 meals. I try my best to "KETO-FY" all my food prep choices for maximum benefits and nutrition. Thanks Thomas for another great grocery haul video for those of us on a tight budget.
Nice ideas! I need to try the stuffed chicken
Sounds good! People get all wrapped up in trying to make the same foods they ate before but in a keto version. You’re definitely on the right track in choosing healthy, low carb basic foods and cooking them with a few touches of slightly higher carb, fresh foods for the flavor. So much more satisfying than lasagna made with sliced of chicken instead of noodles. 💕
@@Lucinda_Jackson Thank you! I try my best to be creative so the food doesn't get boring and methodical.
@@maxsilbert it is SO DELICIOUS!
Just because the egg container says "free range" or "cage free" doesn't mean anything. The chickens are still caged with very little access to outdoors. The USDA's definition of free range and cage free is completely twisted.
I Totally agree!!! After watching Holy Chicken with Morgan Spurlock I opened my eyes to all the lies the chicken industry backed up by the FDA can claim and totally misguide the consumers. Unless you get then from a ranch o rancher you know or you know somebody or yourself have chickens, no matter what the label says, you're getting the same type of sick, bad chicken 🍗 🐣🐥🐔
Yes true I only do pasture raised.
This is why we raise our own chickens! I know not everyone can but we make it work so we can have fresh REAL free range pasture raised chicken and eggs.
@@celenebalvaneda4848 I thought of that movie when I read this comment.
Usually easy to find local 🥚s
I would have skipped cottage cheese and just bought a half gallon of some A2 milk, made some yogurt from half of it with an added splash of that heavy cream you just picked up, and then use the other half to make a little fresh cheese and then ricotta. All you need is salt and vinegar or lemon juice and a little bit of time. But so many of us have nothing but time on our hands right now. And it's a great time to learn a basic skill like that, one that makes your food healthier and gives you more control of what you put into your body.
That fresh cheese or farmer's cheese as it's often called, is a healthy delicious replacement for cottage cheese and you can culture the milk a little bit overnight with some of that sour cream before you make it to get rid of the rest of those sugars. When you're done making this cheese just give it a little salt and whatever herb you like, and a splash of that heavy cream. There you have the best cottage cheese you've ever had in your life and by far the healthiest.
He could even use whole milk to make kefir. From there so much else can be easily made including a great creamy salad dressing, cream cheese, a cream cheese spread, kefir for smoothies and of course the whey can be used to cook the chicken and cauliflower rice or any vegetables in!😊
I make yogurt with half and half and heavy cream. It is so much better than store bought. Not hard to do either.
@@bettiblanchard873 Hi, would you share your recipe with us?🙏
@@decolonizeEverywhere Ooh these are such great ideas! Can you share how to make the kefir & cheese?
Thomas, you are by far the best & most informed Keto dieter on You Tube. You do so much work to inform us with all your overwhelming knowledge you have gained by all of your research & learning what works & what doesn't. You are Informing us not only how our body uses what we eat & drink, but also what is terrible to put in our bodies & why.
You live this lifestyle. You have made an amazing transformation of your own body on Keto & very hard work in the gym. Thank you so much for all of your content. I am a 60 year old male, following your lead to better my lifestyle & health. I am on your Keto diet & a daily exercise routine now. I couldn't be happier!
Cooking a whole chicken in a pot gives you great dark/white meat & also gives you your own broth to use w/the frozen broccoli/heavy cream &/cheese, optional, for cream of broccoli soup, just use almond or coconut flour to thicken more. Also makes a great sauce over veggies & seafoods. Love your shopping list!!
For sure. Great points you have there!!!
I started my journey with a low-carb diet before going full-blown keto and the transition was much easier. I have been fully keto now for about 12 days and have lost an incredible 11 lbs. It's a little scary because I feel like I'm eating much too much fat. It's like a guilty pleasure sauteing in Irish butter, bacon grease, coconut oil, avocado oil, and ghee. But incredible, I have not yet had a craving for my favorite food in the entire world "potatoes." I was only going to dedicate myself to this lifestyle for about 30 days, just to see if I could do it, but now I plan on making it at least till June 2021. Thank you for the context and for supporting the keto fans.
How are u doing? I started in early April. No idea how much I weighed to start; 220-250# for all I know lol
No idea where I am now, just down a size is all I know. Plus I feel so much better. I had a lot pain, swelling n inability (locked joints).
I’m OMAD 23:1 and eat huuuuge salads 5-6x a week. I don’t do lean protein, etc.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah That's excellent, I'm very happy to hear that your journey is going well however you decide to modify. It is all about results and how you feel. I just came back from vacation yesterday where I decided to drink and eat what I wanted knowing I would get kicked out of ketosis. I expected to gain a fair amount of weight and feel awful for a few days so no big deal. To my surprise, I only gained about 5lbs and oddly enough was almost immediately upon returning home was back in ketosis again. I am sure my weight will return to where it was before my vacation, and I will continue my keto journey with a fair amount of success.
Hey....how have you been doing with your Keto journey? I'm just starting mine.
@@nobuhlempofu9497 Good for you! I am still on my Keto journey. So far I have lost almost 30 lbs, but during my journey, I have had birthdays, celebrations, and holidays where I did not sacrifice and instead joined in. During those times, I never gained more than 2 or 3 lbs, but the odd thing is that once you dedicate yourself to keto, your internal voice takes over and doesn't allow you to go too far in the wrong direction. Just remember - this is not a success-only journey. We are all human beings and therefore subject to failures. But it is not about our failures, it is about how we recover to move forward and this is doable - so don't give up! Keep being the best you that you can be each day and you WILL succeed. Good Luck my friend. Keep me posted!
Hi there 5 months later how did you do?
If you have an Aldi Store in your area, please do a haul there. Many of these items are there for super cheap! Plus, I'd really LOVE to see it! Thanks for all you do!
He's done an Aldi haul. I don't know why I watched it, there no Aldi in my state.
I see you commented 6 months ago so I’m not sure if you’ll see this… what sort of items would you prioritize at ALDI as opposed to getting them at other grocery stores?
I've been to a couple Aldi's and compared prices with Walmart groceries, and there was no difference that was worth noting.
I did not shop for and compare prices on any junk foods, beverages or "snack" items, just basics because I make almost everything from scratch.
One benefit of Aldi is a lot less bright lighting, Walmart you can do surgery with that lighting
Thomas, I just want to say I am glad I found your channel because it's nice to finally relate to someone. My whole family thinks I'm nuts because I'm an extremely healthy eater that always check the ingredients in the foods I eat. I have Lupus and I went from being insanely miserable every single day to thriving,. I went from getting Lupus flare ups every month to NONE.. and its been over 1.4 years.
So happy for you! 💕
@@Lucinda_Jackson Thank you,it means a a lot to me
Ur obvious success is nuts? Ppl are just so stupid 🤷🏼♀️
I’ve always been “that mom” lol
Well done you!!
i would love to see the 30 day meal plan he created with the food he bought
Me too.
I'm working on getting back to keto. I had originally lost over 90lbs. But have gained back 50lbs 🥺. I'm starting from basics and this video was a tremendous help for me. Not that I don't know what to do, but this is helping me keep focused on what I "need" vs. what I "want". Thank you Thomas for all that you do to educate all of us on this!!!
A bag of spinach like that lasts me two days lol.
Yup
careful bro, you'll give yourself kidney stones.
@@jazerasor1455 there are more common ways to get those besides vegetables
@Demi the Hillbilly not compared to poor hydration, alcohol, excessive sugar or your genetics. If you've got all of that in check, spinach probably won't hurt you.
@@jazerasor1455 but if you read up kidney disease it says spinach helps clean the kidneys and prevents kidney stones.
Can we get a video showing everything you actually bought in one frame & what you'll make with everything?
YES THIS.
Cook up video next please.
A list would be nice
Yes please!
Yes! Let's see a part two with some of the meals we got out of this.
Remember, portions
Intermittent fasting
Plenty of water
I'm 36 years old and I just started this keto diet and I went my whole life thinking I didn't like cauliflower but I found out I'll absolutely love cauliflower and feel like I have missed out my whole life on it. I love cauliflower rice I love cauliflower grits I love cauliflower Pizza. I feel soooo much healthier and have so much energy.
I put cocoa powder, chia seeds and heavy cream with monk fruit. Pudding is very rich and I sometimes I add chocolate collagen powder… can add soaked chia seeds to whipped cream and frozen berries too. Omega
I wanna know how you make a bag of spinach last a month! It cooks down so far that the whole bag is equal to about 2-3 cups cooked. I love spinach, eggs, ground beef, mushrooms, garlic... yum!
My guess is his servings are super tiny. I mean, out of a pound of beef he's making three meals... The spinach he's probably eating a few ounces at a time.
@@catralynxeytigress1714 that’s what I was thinking. Three servings out of a pound of hamburger meat? How
@@aprilmartin7931 he’s making the equivalent of three 1/3 lb hamburgers
@@jlau5634 awfully small burgers
@@aprilmartin7931 not really....bigger than McDonald’s quarter pounders.
Thomas i gotta say.... these budget videos are super entertaining and very resourceful!! I spent yesterday watching your dollar store, sprouts, and Costco videos. Great content man.
We make 4 patties from those grass fed beef packs from Walmart. We do add grass fed cheese to the patties, but we only eat 1 burger per meal along with a salad, some lentils, or homemade coleslaw.
Yum that sounds good
But he doesn't mention that you aren't just eating the meat. At least need some cheese and lettuce
Don’t the lentils add carbs?
I thought lentils wasn’t keto friendly…
I can't imagine getting 3 servings out of one bag frozen broccoli or brussel sprouts! I eat the whole bag myself, easily. I also make my own 'chaffles' or other keto waffles. Chaffles= 1 egg and half cup grated cheese.
Great video. I went shopping yesterday and spent $107 in NV and bought almost all the things you suggested. Thank you for all the tips and information you provided during the video.
I opened my walmart app and added all the stuff to my cart while watching. My store does free pick- up! 😉
Great idea! Lol I’m going to do the same.
What a great idea!!
Yes! Plus alot of the items are cheaper that way. I noticed in store I would look for items on the app and the prices didn’t match in store. The employee told me that they stopped price matching because they want more people to order online. Laminate sheets were $7 on the app/pickup and $12 in store smh.
@@thomasfoster2 That is pathetic. I don't know if your scared, or if its just beneath you. Either way its pathetic.
@@joex222 Maybe he just doesn't like shopping.
A person can add Lilly's chocolate chips in coffee for flavor. Mint chocolate chip, white chocolate, salted caramel chocolate.
Ooooh, I have some that I haven't used in months! Tomorrow morning I'll try some in my coffee♡
Your meal prep would be an excellent part 2 to this video! 😋🤩😎 This is changing lives as it is, and crushing excuses. Thank you! 🙏🏼
So glad I found this. I've had doctors recommend keto but gave me no information on what to get. Since I have to buy at Walmart due to needing groceries delivered, this was SUPER helpful. Thank you!
i Just did this haul today, i watched this video last night and now, I love how I did everything for less!! the almond milk , which I drink, cost me $1.70. i was so excited, the spinach bag, exact one was $2.88!!
Thomas, thank you for doing this! I have been watching budget grocery hauls and they buy so much carb loaded, processed junk and people need to know they can eat the good stuff on a budget!!!!
Yes so many of the grocery hauls are dirty keto
I agree. I like watching grocery hauls but the youtubers I have watched look like what they eat...heavy processed carbs, fats and sugars.
Now we need to know how you are putting the meals together with this haul.
Yeah I would like to see it meal by meal. They don't look much for a month. I will be losing so much weight because I don't have enough to eat LOL
these kinds of videos are awesome, i managed to decrease my shopping bills by over 30 % in the last year and a half, while still getting mostly healthy foods
thanks, Thomas, keep up the great work
Clean doesn't really matter, lost 200lbs doing both ways, felt the best I ever did in my life. Clean or dirty felt exactly the same, maintained the same health. Buying for a month is easy it's eating for a month that's hard. Some days you're hungrier then others, the moment you break discipline your budget changes.
You should use a prebiotic/probiotic or apple cider vinegar gummy if you’re concerned with bloating. Staying away from spicy food, fried food and roasting your veggies also helps with bloating. Cauliflower also helps heal the stomach lining if you ever experience stomach pain that also leads to bloating.
I would kill to have you show us how to cook and prepare this stuff. I know zero things about cooking. I'd love to learn!
I'm a food Network junkie. I learned a lot from cooking shows. Reading recipes in a book is good but seeing it done was better for me.
normally your mother should teach you cooking not some strangers.
@@gringo77345 you're assuming she has a mother. Or a mother that knows how to cook.
You’re literally on RUclips
SAME...
I learn so much from this guy! I'm so thankful for this information. Especially, learning about controlling the quality of fats with meats and using up my own body fat. Hell, there's so much good info here I can't even decide what's most valuable. It's all good!
I agree! Phenomenal video & so informative!
I love when you take us shopping with you so we can hear your thought process on different ingredients and pros/cons. And thanks for being so relatable by including the bit about apologizing to a box. 😆
Thank you for showing me how to shop at Walmart for keto friendly options. Because of my health, I need to lose 100 lbs in the next year and the keto diet seems to be the best plan for me, although it can be more expensive than my usual PAST shopping list that included lots of carbs & very little nutrition. You’re teaching me about portion control, fasting & budgeting, which is important because I live on EBT and SSDI ( “food stamps and disability” lol). PS..Thrive Market doesn’t accept EBT yet, they’re pending approval. However, they did give me an opportunity to apply for a free membership based on my low-income status. I did the same thing with AMAZON and now AMAZON accepts EBT online. I tell you this because maybe you can help lobby the proper government agency to approve Thrive Market soon! Please keep your fun, easy-to-understand videos coming 🙋🏽♀️😋
I wish he did more videos like this... I'm not keto but I'm definitely into fasting and really financially aware.
Our Wal-Marts in Texas have Good Culture. Also I save money gardening and keeping chickens. Granted I live in a rural area but when I was younger and in an apartment I kept a patio garden with herbs and salad vegetables. The better cheese is by the deli btw.
Walmart has a specialty cheese section near their deli. That's where you'll find Gouda. Sometimes they have it.
If not, I’ve seen Gouda sold at some Kroger’s.
Good Gouda at tjmaxx
Grabs a tomato
"Oh yeah you'll get about 4 meals out of this" 😅
😂💯😂
Yeeeeeah, um NO
He said three meals out of the shrimp and showed us the label where it said there are 50 calories per serving and 4 servings in the bag
Grabs a bag of spinach and says “ this will last you all month” 🤣. Probably two meals
@@jorgealvarez1558 exactly
This was, BY FAR, the best shopping video I've watched, and I've watched a bunch. I hope you continue doing these budget keto shopping. Especially, during these high inflation times.
Again, very impressed by what you put into your shopping videos.
Clean Kosher low carb is so very important to me for health reasons and your Kosher shopping and ideas are epic even though it's unplanned.
I think you are a bit more disciplined than my 2 family household, in the way of portion control but today is a shopping day for us. And for the first time on a serious budget in my long life, I will stick as closely as possible to your suggestions here.
Prices have jumped quite a bit in the year since your video, and pay for the self employed has too unfortunately, so, I plan on weighing portions as you suggest to help with stretching meals further.
Thank you for all of your effort put towards every one of your video's!
When you're eating cheap keto, add that Omega-3 supplement to balance out the O-6
I love you Thomas but 27% over is a little stretching the title I think it would’ve been better saying $150 a month and being under 18% the $150
I think it was very realistic. If he had literally only had the $100, he would have ditched the nuts and some cream and maybe the nut butter. And he might have rethought the beef and switched it out for the other which was a bit less but would add up with that many pkgs. And switch the good eggs for another pkg of the okay ones. But really? It’s an almost impossible task to only spend $100 per month.
Oh! And ditch those waffles.
edit the haul how u see fit, get eggs at Costco for cheaper, etc. if 27 bucks affects ur budget so much then u have issues to sort out
@@scorpionz44
Wow! That’s a little insensitive considering the times we live in. For a lot of people, that $27 just simply isn’t there. Lucky you - you must still have a job.
@Ldy Della
Well, he said grocery/food budget of $100. I think he did well.
@@Lucinda_Jackson its ok to change jobs if one is a dead end like being a waitor right now. The freedom of choice is yours.
I just bought the isopure protein powder that you showed in your video. Three weeks ago I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed and still on liquid and soft foods. Starting eating Keto 20 months ago lost 65 lbs so far. Lowered my A1C from 6.3 to 5.2 I love that protein powder I use it for berry smoothies but it also makes a great coating for making air fried foods or fried foods.
Got us eating like toddlers lmao not everyone is trying to lose weight but if you have to “survive” the healthiest way possible this would be it. I’d double this to 200 a month and be set for more calories. Great video bro !
Thank you so much for your shopping videos. I have lost 40 lbs in 10 weeks doing a haphazard keto but your videos are such an encouragement to follow clean keto. The education you give is so motivating and necessary to understand the nature of the foods we eat and WHY we should eat certain products over others. Thank you so much!
I always try to keep some plain pork rines on hand because i use them mixed with parmesean cheese to make some fried chicken tenders.
This could possibly be my favorite video, yet! For those of us on a super strict budget, this is REALLY helpful. I just started back to work recently, and unemployment only paid $250/wk, so my middle name is BUDGET. 😂 So many of us are in that same boat. I only have one issue. My inner grammar nazi twitched a little at the beginning. "Less *than* $100/month" You've been a guiding light for my keto journey. Keep up the great content! 🤘
I love how he's like "You know what, I'm going to put the ice cream back and get 2 heavy creams instead of just one."
Then later on the video he's like, "You know what I'm actually going to put this heavy cream back & get this." 😂
I love watching the natural process of that we all go through at the grocery store while trying to shop on a budget lol. Like putting 15 things in the cart and rotating the stuff back to the shelf to get something else, that we will also put back on the shelf to get something else 😂
Love your videos Thomas! The ONLY keto videos I watch!
I love the sad music 🎶 when the halo goes back to the shelf! 😆
I've got news for you regarding heavy cream... even this organic variety has "Gellan Gum"; it's a stabilizer/emulsifier. Most of the mainstream brands have "Carrageenan". The food manufacturers are even toying around with just the basic ingredients; it's getting harder and harder to find a true heavy cream that is just heavy cream.
Bit late watching this but the info is very helpful. That is if you have $100 to spend on food every month and if you have a fridge/freezer.
If you are eating 2 eggs 4 days a week, wouldn't you need 32 eggs for the month? I maybe didn't get your point? But anyway...I learned so much! Thank you!
I thought the same thing as soon as he said it.
@Michelle Thomas For sure !!
Tom, have you read reports that C0VID has a very hard time doing damage when ketones are present? More reason to stay in ketosis. Also makes sense considering diabetics are the worst comorbidity risk!!! Thank you for the great content!!!
I jave t heard, where did you hear this? Would love love to read. 🖖
I also heard nicotine users are less at risk. Look it up.
It's because the make up of the virus is mostly fat and ketones attack fats so it would be eaten and 💩🚽 out 😜
Where did you read it? I want to see.
Thank you so much! I gained 100 pounds this year due to covid and I’m looking to lose with all your advice and assistance thank you Thomas!
Sorry, your weight gain was not from COVID!
@@janetstotler399 ma’am do you know my situation?
@@floripeolasunkanmi no, you didn’t disclose your situation.
Great video! Heres what I gathered:
Check prices of pounds or ozs of each item and compare to make sure you get the cheapest one)
●Spinach (cook it, don't eat raw)
●Eggs (organic & free range)
●Bison
●Ground beef (as lean as possible / try to get organic & grass fed)
●Chicken breast (organic / can be frozen)
●Frozen Turkey burgers (no antibiotics / organic if possible)
●Shrimp or Salmon (high in omega 3 / fish oil)
●Frozen Brocolli, Asparagus, Zucchini, Brussel Sprouts, Riced Cauliflower
●Frozen Cauliflower Meals (be careful of how many net carbs are in these)
●Unsweetened Original Almond Milk
●Heavy Cream (organic)
●Sour Cream (organic if possible)
●Cottage Cheese (must be organic & good quality
●Lowfat Cream Cheese (1/3 less fat)
●Good quality grass-fed butter (Danish Creamers, vital farms, kerrygold)
●Unrefined Coconut oil or Avocado Oil
●Goat Cheese, Guida, Shredded Parmesan ●Thick-cut uncured bacon (Farmer John) ●Greek Yogurt (Chobani, Too Good)
●Pork Rinds (Make sure ingredients don't have Monosodium Glutamate or Torula Yeast; good brand is Macs Original)
● Macadamia Nuts, Whole Natural or Dry Roasted Almonds
●Stevia Sweetener (no Erythritol)
●Almond butter
●Sardines (in water, not oil)
●Tuna(in water, not oil)
●Avocado Mayonnaise (not regular mayonnaise)
●Love Good Fats Bars
●Isopure protein powder
●Halo Top Keto Ice Cream
●Keto Waffles, Keto Fat Bombs
We always buy and love using the pure monkfruit and stevia extract powders in small containers with at least 200 servings in each container. They are perfect for us, since they do NOT contain erythritol or dextrose.
Anyone notice the camping chairs on top of the refrigerators? 😂
Invest in a cheap Walmart hand blender and make your own mayo with raw ingredients of your favorite edible oil, eggs, and some black pepper.
YES! I finally made mayo and it was soo delicious! I loved dipping pickles in it for a snack lol
I get radishes cucumbers avocado's scallions red cabbage lemons at Walmart
I always learn so much watching your videos. You have completely changed the way I shop for food. Every time I go to the store I ask myself, “would Thomas buy this?”
I do the exact same thing! 🙈😂🙈
Love this guys videos. I've watched videos posted by professional athlete trainers, nutritionists, & medical doctors. Thomas sums all of these aspects into one and goes the extra mile by making detailed videos like this and with links that not only covers the area of education but also the literal steps to take now. I don't really like leaving comments but I just had to. Kudos
It is very admiral of you to reach out to those with lesser funds trying to help them be healthy. I always suggest my patients check out your videos when they want a stupid easy diet that works.
Even though I’m probably not going to start shopping at Walmart for my groceries (it’s not convenient). This video was full of great information and little hints that were new to me and I’ve been keto for three years! There’s always something more to learn and be inspired by.
Can you post a few meal videos based on this grocery trip?
Frozen veg is the best tip ever, i buy steam bags from amazon and decant the frozen veggies straight into those as mixed portions. Ready made veggie portions that take 30 seconds to steam in the microwave.
Pro Tip +
Young nettle leaves are more nutritious than spinach in every way. And they are free coz they grow wild. Also not to be eaten raw, for obvious reasons lol. Pick from woodlands away from spraying. Will help a lot during the current economic situation.
I'd love to see a spreadsheet of the entire list and their macros. I am seriously skeptical as to whether you had anywhere near enough protein and total calories for a month for an adult male. This reminds me of the $1/day challenge and the tomfoolery there.
24x eggs - 1716 calories
3 lb grass fed beef - 2951 calories
1x box 6 turkey burgers - 1568 calories

6x keto waffle - 480 calories
1 gal almond milk - 624 calories
1 pint heavy cream - 1504 calories
1 lb sour cream - 896 calories
16oz neufchatel cream cheese - 1120 calories

Skipped veggies because they usually don't have many calories.
Comes out to about 700 calories/day, nowhere near enough.
@@descai10 it's still not enough even if you factor in the 12 days of fasting, but at least it's a place to start with ideas
It's just a helpful RUclips video, try to relax...
Thomas thank you these are the best. The hauls teach me the most. This is the practice to healthy nutrition to show us the items and ingredients
@@saulweinberg5250 both are healthy if you don't eat carbs
I can't believe you didn't stress wild caught shrimp. Farm raised shrimp is the grossest thing there is. I would eat farm-raised fish before I would eat farm-raised shrimp. Other than that the video was awesome! You are a tremendous inspiration!
Couldn't agree more, wouldn't took farm raised
Meats and produce 1st
Spinach organic
Bacon
Eggs organic and free range
Lean ground beef if you can't get the grass fed grass finished
from a person who eats keto and organic … THANK YOU … the goal is health with some weight loss to go along and you helped me understand a few things I needed to know about ingredients and choices
I like how this is shopping for a MONTH. I could easily devour everything in that cart in one week and that is OMAD hahaha.
exactly. No shot this would last an average person a month. Two weeks MAYBE doing IF?
Yup. Me too.
@@mikeydoesit The average person in America is a fat ass. This would probably last a single person a month he has plenty of frozen vegetables and meat. In keto you get most of you calories from fat which are very calorie dense so it doesn't look like much. If you ate all this in 1 to 2 weeks considering all the dense fat calories you would be way over eating past your maintenance calories.
@@austinblackburn8095 Yeah except he got all lean low fat stuff and said to rely on body fat so no it's not a high fat diet based on this shopping trip. He thinks a can of sardines is a meal! That's like 160 calories. It's a snack at best.
@@wolfy1 And that's why a majority of America is obese.
Yay Chobani! That's made near my hometown, so I always get it in "support", and I feel awesome now, that's what I always get! Matter of fact, I use it in place of sour cream, same taste 💜
I live in California too...I’m laughing at his overages. It’s SO hard to stay on a budget! I sympathize!
Holy crap! One year after this video was made prices have gone up exponentially 😢 That sams choice salmon is now $17.52 in Ohio. This video is great, by the way!
America last. Ukraine gets billions and people in Ohio are poisoned. But hey, no more mean tweets, right? VOTE. And vote out the elite uniparty pigs!
A couple things: Free range is not what you think it is (research it); The color of the egg and yolk no longer matters because the chickens are fed special dyes in their food to determine the color of the egg and yolk to match the American preference.
