Hello, I hope you're doing well. Considering the potential for growth, I believe venturing into the realm of online stores could be a fantastic opportunity for you, even if you haven't explored this avenue before. I'd be delighted to offer guidance and insights to help you embark on this exciting journey. If you're open to it, let's discuss further.
Thank you, Lorene! Please let me know if you’d like me to include any other elements in the hauls going forward. Stay tuned for a new haul every Sunday!
What province are you in? I shop at the same store in Ontario and we’re easily paying double that for a similar shop. Those tofu blocks here are almost $4 each. The wildbrine kimchi is almost $10 where I shop. I’m so confused how you did this.
The wildbrine kimchi was just under $10 and the tofu I think was on sale (I think $1.99) but similar price usually. I started switching the medium or soft tofu because it’s cheaper than extra firm; I just cook it longer to firm it up. I’m in Manitoba. Those two items were the most expensive items I got thought lol.
😊 correct me if I'm wrong but isn't corn just junk cal? No nutritional benefit? And genetically-engineered right? The rest looks okay. Especially kimchi.❤
I guess you can get maybe three small bags worth of groceries maybe four if you buy lots of what I called the "P" products; potatoes, pasta, pierogies, pancakes and porridge!
You mostly bought canned goods and veggies, no name brand nonetheless. If you bought some meat, lunch snacks for your kids, milk, eggs, cheese, sandwich meat etc it would’ve been $100 after bag 1. You chose cheaper items and things that were probably on sale. But I’m also in AB which is one of the most expensive provinces in Canada.
What kind of meals can you make with that garb Tofu??? I mean what you bought their I don't consider actual groceries. Certainly not from a North American point of view. Where's the meat where's the potatoes, and where's the tasty vegetables, cabage!!! Tofu, cannned tomatoes, canned corn, and coconut milk don't cut it for making any type of meal in North America! Plus you went 21% over the hundred dollar budget!
Australian wage is very High but house prices are too, Australian dollar is worth less internationally so import is more expensive, but if you think Australian groceries are expensive you should try New Zealand - honestly before this sudden inflation the uk was the best for food shopping
I know!! I’ve seen the price of my brothers family grocery shop (fam of 6) and it’s wild. His wife does a really really good job at saving though via price comes, click and collect, bulk foods, etc. If anyone ever wants to marry me, we’ll have to get that on lock 😂
What about the cost of starches which were not included? I know you don’t eat meat, but surely you don’t eat only tofu and vegetables. If this is what you needed with an already stocked pantry it makes sense. But can you calculate the cost of two weeks worth of lentils/beans/eggs/any other proteins or meat substitutes you’re eating. Also oil,spices,rice,potatoes, dairy/dairy substitutes. The reality is 100$ can maybe get you through a week of eating with a well rounded diet if you’re a savvy shopper. It’s going to cost more than that for vegetarians/vegans to reach nutrition goals and maintenance calories for a healthy adult. The majority of your 100$ was spent on perishables. The volume is low enough to eat all of that without wasting it before it starts to rot for sure, but you’re not making it two weeks with the same zucchini, tomatoes, and celery you bought on day 1 even if it’s rationed. I feel like people neglect to cover affording the privilege of time to go to the grocery store several times a week as well. Vegetables and fruits aren’t just expensive, you can’t buy them once a week and expect them to not be wasted in a lot of cases (onions, beets, radishes and potato’s can last a long time admittedly) But tomatoes go bad after 7-10 days (sometimes less if it’s more humid or kept on the counter which tastes better) canned tomatoes are only good for soups/stews and pasta dishes (basically anyway) and your haul doesn’t include any ingredients to cook those meals. Some meats can be frozen at least. You stick chicken and ground beef maybe even uncut steaks when they’re on sale. But the rest of the fresh produce is basically a weekly, if not 2-3 times weekly assignment to procure. And buying rice/lentils/grains/potatoes in bulk is expensive and impossible for some to transport home. So the cost of buying smaller quantities adds up very quickly. I know this is more like a challenge type of thing to see how far you can go with 100$, but the framing here is a bit deceiving. This is 2 weeks of stick maintenance for meals you already have most of the ingredients to prepare at home. I went out to get the basics for curry and the spices alone cost me 50$ The chicken cost me 25$ and the coconut milk cost me 6$ That’s not including the garlic, ginger, onions, and tomatoes I had at home already. The butter Or the burlap sack of rice I had in my pantry. It’s true I don’t have to buy spices every time I make curry, but the initial cost makes meals like that impossible for a lot of people. So simply showing the maintenance stock isn’t what I’d call full transparency.

A good portion of what she bought was no name, and she didn't get any dairy or meat, or packaged goods like cereal etc.. you can shop for cheap, you just have to be smart and it helps if you don't eat dairy or meat.
Hit that subscribe. New grocery hauls every Sunday!
“*A MASSIVE THING OF STRABERRIES..* garlic powder🤭”
😂😂😂 the amount of garlic in this haul though
I would actually like to see the two weeks of meals that you prepare with the food that you buy
Fr how are you supposed to make actual meals out of the random vegan bullshit she bought?
Lol I love how you called the celery cucumbers 😆 great haul!

Great job!!!! You purchased alot of good food... healthy choices. You did a fantastic job!!!

America be out after the five tubs of tofu 😂
Have you ever heard of the apps Reebee and Flipp? We’ll review those next so stay tuned! Definitely worth having in your day-to-day
I see Grace branded products. They’re always on the expensive even from where it’s made here in Jamaica 🇯🇲

Good to see healthy foods in a video grocery haul.👏👏
Yay!! Let me know your favourite plant based meals 🌱🫑
😊 correct me if I'm wrong but isn't corn just junk cal? No nutritional benefit? And genetically-engineered right? The rest looks okay. Especially kimchi.❤
100$ will get you half of that in the US
Yeah when I was in NYC, those prices were wild 🤯
@@LindaQueLeenda my mom spends 200$ normally, and gets half of that, so ig so
And you will get twice of that with lot of organic items in Europe like France
Either she doesn't know how to cook or doesn't know how to shop.
I could buy a lot of rabbit food for $100 also.

Did she hold up the cucumbers and say a weeks worth of dates? 😅
This is definitely not recent. That kimchi alone is 11.99.

Isn't there a No frills in your area, it's from the same corporate owner of superstore..
There is but I price matched before hand and superstore had cheaper produce that day!
@@taneesha.greaves me too on the price matching
That would be like 1000 bucks here in Australia u can’t get a good amount for a family of 4 for under 100 let alone 2 weeks of food lol
Wow!!! Yeah the TikTok comments from the Australians were commenting wild prices in comparison. How do you save?
@@taneesha.greaves I don’t even know myself lmao
Australian wage is very
High but house prices are too, Australian dollar is worth less internationally so import is more expensive, but if you think Australian groceries are expensive you should try New Zealand - honestly before this sudden inflation the uk was the best for food shopping
I couldn't even do that 12 years ago
I know you don't eat meat, but could you imagine how much more it would cost if meat was included?!!
Given that you can get meat for really cheap in canada and us (not high end cuts ofc) i think it would just be $20 more
I know!! I’ve seen the price of my brothers family grocery shop (fam of 6) and it’s wild. His wife does a really really good job at saving though via price comes, click and collect, bulk foods, etc.
If anyone ever wants to marry me, we’ll have to get that on lock 😂
Any farmers markets in your area with Canadian produce, Ontario fruits and veggies are bountiful this year and no pesticides on crops
Not in close proximity but great idea and so fresh! Is that how you save?
@@taneesha.greaves yes, Jean Talon market and other locations are my go to for savings
@@taneesha.greaves Asian grocery stores are a go to for ingredients
@@traceylafontaine8893 this is a common one!
@@taneesha.greaves indeed 😌👌
Looks like I'm starving to death
🥴 lol
No frills!
Love no frills
You „feel“ like you went over budget?! Well, doesn’t the bill at the end simply tell you? 22 over.

if you had meat it would just be one bag lol
Or dairy lol. Or produce if you live up north.
wheres the real food
Buddy don’t lie I also live in Canada this would never happen especially at superstore you clearly had points saved up.
No. No points used.
A good portion of what she bought was no name, and she didn't get any dairy or meat, or packaged goods like cereal etc.. you can shop for cheap, you just have to be smart and it helps if you don't eat dairy or meat.
@@brydiebray5017 exactly!! there’s a free savings guide in my bio for anybody that finds it helpful 🤍
What about protein and meat ?
Vegan. Lots of protein in the legumes, tofu, and hummus!
Bullcrap , where is the receipt?
Cute
❤️
Hmmm I need to move to canada 😑
Not a bad idea 😊
Definitely am working on it I just hope I can handle the cool🥶
@@Arthurfxconsultant oh yeah 🥶 many of us cannot handle it so maybe don’t worry about that part; just know it’ll be freezing and accept it haha 😊
Stop screaming!
I can’t.
You are so f***ing beautiful
Thank you so much 🥰
Simp lol
Things are expensive... but I think you got jipped.
Really! Think I should’ve got more for the bill? Check out my latest hauls, the bag is looking slimmer for the same price out in Barbados !
