    I wish Canada had the cheap USA pricing for groceries. I understand we have to pay the extra to have the goods shipped here but still sucks lol. I've started my own garden this year, to save money on some veg and fruits, so I will be able to afford more healthy things. cauliflower with hot sauce actually sounds delicious! I will have to try it, I found out I have fatty liver when I was only 25 lol so love watching healthy food options. it really helps seeing the meals on camera, thank you!

    A tip when cooking with curry powder, add it to the onions and garlic when you saute them (until it becomes fragrant, about a minute), as this will help to release the curry's flavour. I was raised in a culture where curry is a big deal, so much so, that there are shops that only specialize in selling hundreds of different types of curry powder. Also, all curry powders are not equal, so if you use one that you're not a huge fan of the flavour, try another by a different brand.

    I had a girl come up to my register and she bought a bunch of fruits and vegetables and while I was scanning all her items, she picked up this candy bar type thing but ended up putting it down after reading everything and than she paid and left and I read the ingredients on that bar and it wasn't vegan and I think she was vegan and t was cool to see (:

    This has helped me so much! I'm going vegetarian and hopefully vegan, and I was wanting meal ideas. I thought it was so expensive. I'm so excited to know that I can start my daughter and family with good food! Definitely do more of these. Seriously!

  • @jasminflores6660
    @jasminflores6660 8 лет назад +238

    there is no way that eating a plant based diet is more expensive then a more traditional diet simply because meat or chicken is at least $8 a pound, compared to fruits, vegetables, rice, and legumes that are usually $1-$3

    • @pdavis40xxx
      @pdavis40xxx 3 года назад +2

      It can be. The better you eat the better you want to eat. You go vegan. Then you want organic. I can't get under $50 each wk. She had me like, whaaaat? $30???

I'm so glad you shared this, I've been trying to eat cleaner ever since I moved, but I've felt like I've been spending way too much money and then still end up HONGRY! But this right here... this is such a great tool! Please, we need more of these videos! Love, love, love!

    If you want to eat organic and live in New York, it's very expensive. I eat organic fruits and veg, and gluten-free whenever possible. I juice every day, too. It IS expensive.

      This is very true! I usually pick and choose which fruits and veggies to buy organic. Truthfully, not all veggies/fruits need to be organic.

    • @CleanwithJ
      @CleanwithJ 8 лет назад +6

      yeah conventional fruits and veggies I can walk out with 3 bags worth 17$ but organic is expensive.

    • @MsLaRachelle
      @MsLaRachelle 8 лет назад +3

      It's close to the same here in Chicago. I spend my Summers in NY with my in laws and I come out of pocket heavy there too, so I feel your pain. Once I noticed that her fruits and veggies weren't organic, I understood the $30. I've been vegan for over five years, still I was hoping she could put me on differently, lol. Mind you, I don't always buy organic, just the notorious 12 or so, but I'm conscious-conscious, and they eat good from us. Smh. Shit's expensive.

    Hi! If you haven't already, try putting some of the coleslaw mix into your salads. It adds a nice crunch to the spinach and kale mix.

      Educate yourself on veganism, watch Cowspiracy, Forks Over Knives and Earthlings.
      Then to learn about nutrition, watch LegitNutritionHawaii's weightloss series for health advice.
      Then go out and buy a ton of potatoes, rice, frozen vegetables, and fruit.

    I am one in four. My family consists of my husband, my two toddlers, and myself.
    I usually spend about $200 a week on groceries. My husband is a 6'3 power lifter, and eats everything in sight lol
    I wish they were more open to this plant based style, but it's very hard.
    Especially since my two toddlers are used to meat products now.
    I hope we can make that switch slowly!

    • @elizabethannshealthyliving6970
      @elizabethannshealthyliving6970 8 лет назад +6

      I know how you feel! My husband and three young daughters will eat my plant-based foods, but he still brings the meat and junk into the mix at least a couple times of week. I feel like I have to work around that! :) Our bill averages about 200 a week as well. My oldest daughter has been having a lot of interest in the vegan lifestyle lately though, and concerns with the animal industry. Sometimes it's just takes time, and is a gradual journey. Best wishes! :)

    • @fronkiero7690
      @fronkiero7690 8 лет назад +1

      +Elizabethann Fint It's definitely a challenge since my kids are 2 & 1. They are both in their "picky stage", and refuse to eat various foods.
      My husband says he needs the eggs, chicken, and steak in order to bulk up.
      He's 6'3, and weighs 230 pounds so you can already imagine how much food he consumes lol
      Anyways, wish me luck! :D
      It'll be a slow process, but I think we can do it! Thanks for your input! :D

    @JustinWarembourg 8 лет назад

    Great video! I usually throw Kale or Spinach into Soups or Pastas. I'll sometimes make a smoothie, it depends if there is fruit in the house or not. Whenever I get Bananas I'll peel them and FREEZE them for just that purpose. I'm more team blueberry than strawberry, but to each their own. I know a lot of people add ice to their smoothies, but there is not need if you have frozen fruit. Turns out a person can freeze just about anything including fruits and vegetables. I'm feeling you on the small tortillas. The big ones are so much easier to wrap.

    • @Fifth.Amendment
      @Fifth.Amendment 8 лет назад +5

      Yes, it depends on what you're buying. I was spending over $100/ wk, sometimes more. That's because I buy tons of fruits & veggies. If the fruits aren't in season they cost more.

    • @KaylaMarie_

    • @sashahaze5868
      @sashahaze5868 8 лет назад +8

      that is totally and completely unnecessary. Anyone can spend that much money on food a day. No vegan would need to spend that much money. It's not expensive at all, it doesn't have to be. if you're one of those people that buys food made for vegans are vegetarians and yeah it'll be expensive but if you just buy your own fruits and vegetables and beans and whatnot and it's not expensive at all. especially if you get Frozen stuff like me it's really cheap.

    • @Anna-ex4mb
      @Anna-ex4mb 8 лет назад +2

      Depending on what your eating you might have leftovers or something and technically for 5 small meals or 3 bigger meals 20$ ain't bad. Because people nowadays have fast food every meal and that adds up to probably more than 20$ depending on what it is

    $30 for the entire week is really good. I don't eat the same thing all week so my grocery bill is a lot higher. I can eat the same thing for two days and then I'm done. It's good to see you eating healthy at an affordable price.

    Love the recipe/meal ideas! I just have to add that location is everything, regarding prices and how much you spend. I saw that strawberries on your receipt were around $2 or $3. In NYC, they're regularly $5, unless there's a sale.

    You may want to consider trying a healthier mix. Bisquick uses enriched bleached flour. Not good for you. Research it. Whole flour is better for you. Always read the ingredients. The same with the tortillas. There are tortillas with whole flour. Trader joes sells pre riced cauliflower frozen and fresh. Also, Costco sells a lot of frozen fruits and veggies that are organic and will last you longer.

      veganism is about the animals and the planet, pleaseeee stop making it about health all the time. the humans are fine (in comparison), it's the other species that need looking after. her health affects her and her only. it doesn't affect you or anyone else. if you want to eat healthy, you eat healthy.

    • @JB11334
      @JB11334 8 лет назад +8

      +Anna Clegg I understand and respect your point of view. If a video is titled how to eat good I would hope that all the food presented is good for you. Vegan or not. Your body's health is just as important as an animals life and to me that includes ingredients.

    Awesome budgeting. I go even lower by making everything from scratch. I make my own tortillas from organic masa flour. For the waffle/pancake mix, I make a gluten free batter from almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot flour, a bit of maple syrup, coconut milk, and flaxseed meal. I don't buy bagged veggies, but opt to "process" it myself. My weekly budget is around $20. I'm eating lentil chili in a variety of ways for a few days, because the one cup of lentils I started with turned into two quarts of chili when I was done adding to the recipe. I froze a quart, too.

    I don't know if you guys have Sprout Farmer's Market near you, but it is the place to be when trying to eat healthy on a budget. Everything's organic and low priced, at least that has been my experience. Get their flour and rice, granola and all from the huge barrels. You get more for your money. I don't buy boxed and prepackaged things anymore, not even seasonings and spices. You buy it by the ounce at Sprout and get so much more. And for the vegan burger meat, is seitan. You can make it on your own in various ways and you get more that way and you can freeze it for later consumption. Just a thought.

    30 a week for 3 meals a day? If so I will try this with my food stamp card.

    • @ASmith-jn7kf
      @ASmith-jn7kf 8 лет назад +3

      I have two babies. My daughter is starting to eat meat I don't care if she does but I want it to be a healthy kind. The other is just 8 months and I am still breastfeeding but she wants to eat eat eat. It was hard at first but being an uneducated vegetarian I ate a lot of pasta and carbs and gained a lot of weight. So you really have to do it the right way. If it's what you want to do it then do it but if you are struggling maybe try just designating a day to it and gradually as you get familiar with more recipes and your likes and dislikes gradually stop eating meat for more days.

    These meals would last my husband and myself 2 days but if it was just me probably 4-5 days. I'm wondering if the other days you go out to eat? Also, there are no snacks included at all and being vegan I definitely snack between meals otherwise I'm starving. We spend $160 a week on average but we are also athletes who eat 2,500 and 3,500 calories a day. Wish we could get by $30 a person! I should also note we eat organic

    this is great. but i have to wonder, is this vegan or vegetarian? is it safe to believe the cheese and mayo you are using are vegan? im a vegetarian and go either way (i enjoy my dairy outside of milk- that's reserved for almond or cashew and now im excited to try pea milk!) but for those who are venturing into veganism, are these options youve shown vegan friendly or vegetarian friendly? :)
