Something I learned actually from a vegan ( I am not vegan) who was on a budget was only to get fresh fruits and veggies in season and buy frozen when not in season( canned if money is extremely tight). Since fresh produce has such a short shelf life, I was wasting produce ( I wish I had a composter); since going the frozen route, I have cut back heavily on waste. I don’t know if this is “ minimalist” but I have been also looking into purchasing a food saver as well.
Kyra, whenever I see a new posting from you, I get so excited to watch it. You are so right about how minimalism can look different for everyone. No hard-fast rules. Just whatever works for each individual. AND, we can each make the changes we need to within that huge umbrella and definition! 😉🥰
You always put a smile on my face and remind me that at the end of the day, it’s the simple things that matter and being comfortable in your own skin 🥰
Kyra, just wanted to say i love your intro with your name. Thank you that you are investing in this channel, I really do hope all the hard work pays off at the end. Get the money girl! We are here to support you!
Yay! A new video from one of my favorites! I wouldn't call myself a minimalist, but I have adopted some of the thoughts from minimalism that fit into my life. It's been years of my husband and I downsizing and seeing how free we feel with less. I'm not exactly where I want to be with it, but slowly getting there. And...it's important to know when you may need to purchase more of something when life circumstances change. Such a good point to remember as we go through life changes. :)
We buy a lot of frozen veggies and fruit.( cheaper) I use frozen spinach and fruit in smoothies. I eat the fresh stuff first ( like strawberries) and buy canned veggies,fresh bananas ,potatoes,and apples in bulk. ( Sam's or Costco) I make banana bread or put it in smoothie w protein powder when they get mushy. We eat a lot of canned vegetables too. I love your channel .🥰
I’m recently a new subscriber and I’m truly so happy I found your channel. There’s a genuine difference in you verses other minimalist. I don’t say this to disrespect anyone but you come off very real and honest and it’s very much appreciated. Also, I’ve found the beauty and simplicity in minimalism because of you and now feel like I can breathe. Thank you.
You look great ! Eating healthy is always a good thing, is an expensive investment that in the long run will save you a lot of money in clinics and doctors . Health is more important than anything, because if you are feeling unhappy with your weight and you aren’t feeling great then you aren’t going to enjoy your new house when you eventually buy it :) take care and be happy and healthy! :)
It’s good to hear that u are purchasing more quality food as that helps to nourish our body better. In the long run, we pay less on medical bills. Milo is growing up well! Maybe you can share with us on how you bathe him or cut his nails in future videos.
Try to buy only seasonal fruit and vegetables... They are a lot cheaper. At least in Europe. I live in Italy, for example qe buy grapes only from August to november, october. Love your Channel. Baci
Love that these are all functional for your lifestyle. I'm getting ready to move and found myself caught up in buying decor...but the purchases that have made the biggest impact in my happiness have been functional items. Wishing you and your little family happiness 😊
I love your videos Kyra they’re very calming for me to watch you’re also the reason I became a minimalist it’s been a year and I never looked back you inspired me a lot thank you for being you
Keep doing what you’re doing! I love watching your videos and I can see a great improvement. Whatever is gonna work for your job is gonna work for me! 🤍
Kyra you are one of my favorite utubers because I know your content is genuine just like you . I hope you continue because you are a natural and what you provide to this community is very helpful and it matters. Wishing you abundant success because you truly deserve it.
It's so sad fresh fruit and veggies are so expensive. Want the growers to get their share for sure but makes it harder to eat well. Lol. I have a portable bedet (not committing to an installed one) I got off of Amazon. Still have toilet paper in the house but appreciate we use less of it. Keep on saving and living the life you want.
Ahhh I agree with the healthy eating situation. Healthy foods are so expensive compared to junk food. Like you said there’s no price on health and it will be so worth it in the end 💕
It's worth investing in your physical and mental health, we only have one life one body. 😉 Luckily here in the UK we can get fruit and veg quite cheap so I usually cook from fresh for my family.
I’m not sure how close this is for you, but there is a market that is open where they sell fresh produce next to the Haymarket T station on Fridays and Saturdays. It is outside, and they will sell boxes of mangos for $5, organic berries for $2, etc. Bring cash with you and lots of change. If you go later on a Saturday, the produce might be picked over but you can get boxes of things for really cheap. You will have to eat anything you buy within the next couple of days though.
Yes I agree on food prices I can get a whole pack of vegan cookies or chips for less than the price of the tiny, like super tiny container of black berries. When we decide to buy fresh produce our grocery bill is like $50.00 more a week than normal. I’ve had to make adjustments to our budget just so we can eat more healthy. Also I like how you point out that minimalism is different for everyone, makes me feel better about wanting to only clear out certain areas of my house/ life.
It IS hard to find vegan restaurants so I am going to to use HappyCow. Thank you. Congrats on your eating shift. I always say "pay the farmer or pay the doctor".Tysm for reminding me to get back on tea.
Hey Kyra! I’ve really been enjoying all of the videos you put out over the years. I have a video suggestion: I’ve been going through some old school papers, awards, birthday cards, tax papers, and all these other paper files etc and I’m not sure how to minimize this area of my life… I feel like I should keep it for the memory but I also never go back to it for reference. If you have any ideas or suggestions, that would be great 😊
I love Happy Cow! It might be the only app I paid for on my phone but man it’s so worth it. There are so many vegan restaurants I ate at that I never would’ve known about otherwise.
the fact that produce is so expensive in the US is so mind-boggling to me. I mean, I live in an economically poor country (I'm from Serbia and you probably know that that's not the ideal country to live in) but here, it's actually cheaper to eat relatively healthy. no one does though, we're extremely heavy on the meat and grease sadly. but fresh produce that's not like imported is rather affordable. even chicken for those who eat meat... it all gets very expensive when you actually want to buy a meal from a restaurant instead of making it on your own. junk food is great (meaning it's tasty and addictive) but I don't really get how people can afford to buy it every day. for instance, a burger is about $2 here - I know it doesn't sound much but our average monthly income is about $300. you know what I mean. can't really figure out why an advanced country like the US would actually make fresh produce expensive and consequently turn healthy eating less available to people. then again, I'm not knowledgeable enough about the crops and growing and stuff like that...
In US the produce is in mass. So most vegetables produced in big plantation does not healthy at all. They use alot of chemicals/pesticides. That’s why healthy fresh produce from local farmers are much expensive in US. I am not US citizen btw. I know from reading and watching documentaries. :)
I recommend water bidet spray that can attached to faucet sink. That things can reduce huge amount of toilet paper. Try that at least one time and I promise you won't regret. BTW love your video. I'm your Vietnamese fan
I buy frozen produce if fresh is to expensive. Last week at one of our grocery stores, honeydew was $5.99 each!! One time I was out of ice cream so I ate frozen blueberries right out of the bag. And they were delicious that way. Now I eat them like that often. 👍🍃
You should buy fruit and vegetables that are in season, oranges are for winter, so the price in summer goes up, do a little research about it and you can save so much more
I purchase more skincare - life is too short to have spots and dull skin so I have gone back to my more expensive brand which agrees with my skin a lot better - Ruth
Team Milo! 😍 I ate a whole vegan diet for 3 years; I would stock up on dried grains and beans which are pretty inexpensive and spend most of my money on fresh veggies and fruit. A combo rice cooker/veggie steamer made cooking super easy. I am no longer vegan but still eat a whole foods, plant-based diet. Love your content! 😊💗
Hey Krya! Think you might be able to cut the cost of some of your apps if you buy an Adobe photoshop subscription. theres a mobile and desktop version and you could make thumbnails, photo edits, and blurred backgrounds etc for less than those 3 or so apps you're using now combined together. I believe it's around 20 ish a month. Also, if you connect with customer service and ask for a discount or bundle they almost always give you money off just to keep you as a customer. I would try that out! Adobe also has student discounts if you are one. I would try that because it seems it would do all the functions you need! If you're not sure how to do things, theres a million youtube tutorials for photoshop functions. Hope this helps!
@@Roxie1255 yes, less sugar and additives. I live in Europe, in my country we have a mediterranean diet with a lot of fresh vegetables, soups, fruits, natural juices, fresh fish. The vegetables and fruits are not expensive, the produts with sugar or junk food are more expensive.
Oh no I don’t judge anyone even those that don’t use toilet paper because we are all different and we can all learn from each other 😉. Like I always say I don’t like to be judged so why would I do it to someone else 🤦🏻♀️ it’s kind of like “practice what you preach”.
@@Living.minimal I'm not surprised you made that comment in the video because people are vicious about the subject. I. Had. No. Idea. Until I saw a shite show in another comment section.

Thank you for sharing with us.
I’m curious what tea you buy! I’m getting back into tea and am looking for a good recommendation!

would love to see your litter method. I just bought the TSC pine litter and plan on switching over my kitties
Her video about money saving cat items for milo goes more in depth with clips☺️
For iced tea, I really like Summer Fruits from Lipton. You can add lemon or lime it’s super good
Loving the new touches to your channel!🤩

@Aleksandra It was pretty cheap actually - $30 I believe and yes it's pretty good.
Do you have a link?
Ahhh I agree with the healthy eating situation. Healthy foods are so expensive compared to junk food. Like you said there’s no price on health and it will be so worth it in the end 💕
Love the intro and outro…definitely noticed the difference!
That kitty in the background! So freakin cute!!

Yes, we are big tea drinkers. I love the juniper mint from Tazo. Subtlety sweet just enough to kill cravings. Hey Milo...spoiled kitty. ♡

I hope you can get more views!!! you deserve it. Such a great content
Ive noticed your new graphics. They look very professional. Good job!
You could try growing herbs. Mint grows like a weed! I use mine as house plants and then give them a little snip when I want some.
can you do a video about your workout routine ?
Loving the content.

Have you tried shopping for produce at farmers markets or fruit stores? It’s a little less expensive compared to huge supermarkets

Tea for cravings... I just made fennel-licorice tea to avoid cravings and enjoy my favourite youtuber 👍
Are you still letting your hair grow out Kyra? I started letting my salt and pepper hair grow out since January 😊
Have you tried your local farmers market?? Great produce and cheap!
In germany junk Food is More expensive. So happy about it. but since the pandemic it gets more expensive either 🙈
Is it true that in Europe they have better food regulations?
@@Roxie1255 yes, less sugar and additives. I live in Europe, in my country we have a mediterranean diet with a lot of fresh vegetables, soups, fruits, natural juices, fresh fish.
The vegetables and fruits are not expensive, the produts with sugar or junk food are more expensive.
I also would say yes clean food is affordable for everyone
@@Kerzenscheinzauber yes it is, I'm shocked with the price of fruits and vegetables in America.
Omg Milo ♥️ not a kitten anymore. But always will be a kitten. Aweee!
Excellent video ❤️
I love your videos 💜💜
I love your 'team' 😄
Have you tried to meal plan ?
Bulk buying can actually be cheeper, of course if you're buying something that won't expire too quickly
Hi Kyra 😇 missed you
i love the new graphics girl, share your GD info
Milo sleep at back like baby. 😅😍
3.99 for a pound of oranges? That's crazy. I think they're like 15 times cheaper in my country. Fruits and veggies are way overpriced in the US.
did you hide dislikes on purpose, or its an out feature? just curios
There on 😉 I never hide anything on this channel. I only block nasty comments.
Since you posted about how you get money. I have Ben trying to like and comment on all your videos and let all the commercials play
You should change your channel title to “Kyra Ann & Milo” since that little sweetie is always vlog bombing you. 😉 😆 🥰 💕 ☮️ 🦋
Increased grocery bill is better than paying a doctor
My cherries 🍒 were $17.99 for the regularly filled bag-that used to be $5.99/bag😭😭😭

Definitely not judging you for using toilet paper. I think I would judge you if you didn’t use toilet paper 😂🤢
Oh no I don’t judge anyone even those that don’t use toilet paper because we are all different and we can all learn from each other 😉. Like I always say I don’t like to be judged so why would I do it to someone else 🤦🏻♀️ it’s kind of like “practice what you preach”.
