- Here is another Vanlife Grocery Shopping video but I go more in depth due to the questions I had on my last video.
Hi! My name is Karli and I love to travel!

I appreciate the realness of this video and you not being one of those “van life” youtubers who make smoothie bowls and vegan curries everyday.
Haha thanks!
When you consider what it takes to have a refrigerator in a vehicle and the costs associated with it....it makes a lot of sense to figure out a diet that doesn't require a fridge.
Robyi makes a fridge you can charge on an 18 volt battery. I didn't know that. I am going to get Natures Generator which will keep the battery charger charged. It also provides cooling like an AC. Check it out on Home Depot.
Cucumbers and carrots last forever out of a fridge :)
A suggestion 1 can French cut green beans, drain, put in bowl 2T white balsamic vinegar, olive oil salt pepper, any herbs you like 2t mix !!!! It is delicious fast easy no cook.
I’m a nurse, recently moved to a place with no electricity so this is super useful and real
I know rationing food sounds extreme but it works wonders with the budget ..... You eat healthier and you really never feel deprived/hungrey... ☕
Keeping a little extra food around is a good idea imho, i actually do the same. My only problem is i eat a lot÷)...i love food and food loves me...lol...
Those kind of videos are my favorites lol. Thank you !
Glad I came across your channel! I just subscribed
Thanks for subbing!
Nothing ridiculous about it, Any person should have two or three weeks worth of food in their home at any given time, things happen all the time from natural disasters to something as simple as money being tight for a while.
Smart!
Or covid
This is perfect especially now with this quarantine
Why not plant fruit trees everywhere you go? The coffee shop I like to go to has pear trees right out front in the parking lot. Delicious pears drop to the ground. I think less than half are taken and the trees are only 6 ft high. The first rest stop entering Georgia on northbound I-75 has ancient pecan trees. I stopped there at least a month after the pecans had hit the ground. They were still good to eat! The I-75 corridor is loaded with black walnut trees. The first cold snap, and millions of black walnuts hit the ground, never to be collected. I think elderberries are ready in September. When they bloom, you can see them everywhere along US25 as snowy white bouquets. you remember those locations and come back in September. I planted 26 black walnut trees. The first one I planted has yielded 300+ walnuts every two years. The others are coming in now. Soon I will regret planting them and have to thin them out. I found two apple trees in the hollows. I guess somebody gave the horse an apple.
Anyway, it's free food. There is more where people don't have time to tend their gardens. Your mobility suggests that you can visit harvests throughout most of the year all across the US. Am I naive about this?
Really enjoyed this video, we have no fridge either, so this helped a lot ♥️
For lunch peanut butter with cheese sandwich 🥪 is the easiest., that’s what I’m making for lunch these days. Is super easy and super fast. Or any sandwiches for lunch 😊
one of the better "eat in a van" videos. not pretentious at all. thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I decided to go no fridge. So this was a helpful video.
Yes! It can be difficult at first but some great, simple receipes come out of it :)
Hi Dawn!
Great job young lady!! I'm new to ya channel so I'll need to catch up.. Imma van dweller too.. maybe we will cross paths one day
It takes a special kind of person to live this kind of life. I admire you and wish you beautiful adventures.
Canned beans. Oranges. Apples. Canned tomatoes. Bagged/canned soups. Vitamins?
You might try dandelions. They are a superfood and you can get your greens. Great in soups.
Also clover , Alfalfa was known as the father of all foods and it’s free.
Always enjoy your videos
How I wish these prices were still current 😩
Right!? I filmed this back in January
How do you eat healthy without a fridge when your food diet is veggie ( salad, leafy green, pepper ) ?
KARLI !! I ALSO LOVE KNORR SIDES. THETE AWESOME. YOU SHOULD TRY BEAR CREEK SOUP STARTERS. TRY CHKN NDL. A TIP. ADD 2 CANS OF CHIK'N . 3 WYLERS BOULION CUBES AND A BIT OF BLK PEPPER. YOUL LOVE IT. COWBOY.😌....
I have just started a bus conversion, and looking at food options for on the road. And I joke with people that I am prepping for the Zombie Apocalypse, have fun with it! Will have some kind of 12v fridge but looking as much at non refrigerator foods as I can.
Yes! Looking for a non refridgerator diet can be difficult(and sodium filled) but its definitely possible.
For anyone who doesn't drink dairy milk. Try dried coconut milk. Very cheap and works great with any meal as a dairy substitute.
Good idea!
Not ridiculous. You never know!
Isn't Eggs and yogurt and lettuce supposed to be refrigerated??
Think you're beautiful and you've helped me I wish you wonderful adventures
Wow groceries so cheap where you are, we have no Walmart here in New Zealand, our food is 3 times the price
Wow! Yeah, Walmart really helps with keeping expenses down.
love it.
U eat some of the same things I eat minus the Ramen noodle stuff..🤣🤣
I see you eat Knorr, some of there better ones call for milk. I don't buy milk because it will go bad before I can use it up. Then I discovered dry milk, good stuff for cooking. Good luck to you now and when the apocalypse comes.
Get Gossner's boxed milk at Dollar Tree. It's 32 oz, comes from a family dairy in Utah, no hormones and UHP which makes it safer than grocery store milk. It doesn't have to be refrigerated til opened.
How do you make toothpaste with baking soda.? Can you make a video of that.?
Hey Luna! I posted a new grocery haul video for you :) I might have done a video about my toothpaste a while back. I will try to look for it.
@@CuriousKarli really.! Thanks., I’m been waiting lol
Try the Annie Chun's noodle bowls at Walmart. Pretty good........
Why not buy a cheap cooler for your salad eggs and yogurts you can get ice free at a lot of food places
Good idea!
Organic bananas taste way better imo
Same as homegrown Tomatoes taste better, lack of pesticides/herbicides and the soil not being overworked and depleted of minerals and nutrients, you have to be careful though because Organic has become a term that is used often and not always the truth.
Love peanut butter with bananas! Ever try that?
Yes!! I also enjoy bananas and nutella :)
You forgot to get Arizona drink this time. I just realized that something was missing and chocolate lol
Lol! Yes, I did forget!
By any chance will you make some more New grocery haul shopping 🛒 videos..? I love watching groceries haul videos. Thanks for your ideas and sharing. 🥰😊
@@CuriousKarli oh I changed my TH-cam name I am cherry from last year lol
@@Luna-sx3sr I thought it might have been you! I love the new name :)
@@Luna-sx3sr I definitely could! I shop a lot different than before but it could still be fun to show :)
Instant Coffee!?!? 🤢
I know, I know....
Curious Karli you know I’m just messing with ya! We all do what works best for us 😀
Sweet!!I've been looking for a video like this all non fridge food and easy for car camping
Yes! I have a few more videos about it and different recipes :)
try risotto in hot thermos cooking
I have boycott Wal-Mart. But meal plans are good, sugar and sodium is the major problems with food choices now though.
How do you keep the eggs safe with no Ice?
The yogurt and salad as well I'm wondering.
Might sound funny but how are you cooking the rice? I just started as a trucker I don't have a anything in terms of cooking or a fridge. I am trying to figure everything out still.
For cooking rice you can find the kind that is already in bags so you can boil it in the bag and have less mess. But mostly you just need water, a pan, rice, and a camping stove. I didn't have a fridge or ice in my cooler. I would get things that don't need to be refrigerated but if I did get things that needed to be cold I would just eat them right away.
Title is a little misleading should say with a cooler.
How do you make your toothpaste
Also try oatmeal (not the packets) w raisins sweetened w honey. Cream of wheat.
Pls don't eat too much ramen noodles I've heard they are very bad for you.
All processed foods are bad.
Check ingredients and stay far away from hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated, stay away from high fructose corn syrup or any corn syrup, which by the way get local honey plain honey in the stores are mostly corn syrup I read that only a little bit of honey is required to call it honey.
Ramen noodles are terrible for you, +1 on the Oats, especially steel cut oats (less processed) and only sweetend with fruit or raw honey.
I always must have cookies on hand. I want to try to make my own protein chocolate chip cookies like those Larry and Lenny cookies.
I agree, cookies are a must!
do you have solar?
that canned chicken is more at my walmart. Like $1.48
Yes!! The price does vary from store to store. The cheapest I have found it is $0.98
grrrrrr, seattle's so expensive
your pupils scare me (ಠ﹏ಠ)
Yo im van living too we should link so i can keep you company and protect you shawty
You don't refrigerate eggs, yogurt and chai milk??
Yogurt goes bad pretty quick but I can keep the other too relatively cool.
Must be winter or something lol
I love seeing what you buy at Walmart., lunch is not hard for me., IF I’m home., Ramen and egg is always my base lunch. 😊
Mine too! Which reminds me I need to go get more ramen!
@@CuriousKarli cool ok 👍 😄✌️me too I’m running out of ramen soon. I Need to go shopping 🛒 again lol
How do you make your tooth paste?
I found a recipe online that mixed baking soda, coconut oil and mint extract.
Thank you
I like your channel. I just started my channel. Any advice?
Hey Mike! I just briefly looked at your channel and I think you are doing a good job! If you are wanting more views and subscribers I would title and tag your videos with the "buzz" words that go around this lifestyle. I would also do some vehicle dwelling interviews and how to videos, which it looks like you might have done a few how to's already. Going to gatherings is also a big hit with the viewers. I hope this helps!
Thanks. I do have another "How to video" coming out saturday on house batteries. Thanks for the advice!
Why instant coffee instead of a cone style filter pour over? Good advice on the Knorr and chicken. Thanks for the pro-tips.
Shawn bailey.parkie75 - I think is because the extra trash....???
Instant coffee ... quick, convenient, decent flavor and nothing extra to clean up. Economical when compared to buying ground or beans & a grinder, some type of filter gadget and paper filters. Additionally, compare space needed to store same. A small jar of instant can be stashed anywhere, even in a coat pocket, if needed.
Please excuse my unsugarcoated comments. Not having a fridge does not mean you need to eat packaged foods. The ramen noodles and $1 pasta bags are loaded with salt and other chemicals. Check the labels. You can eat healthier pasta by buying pasta by the pound box and canned tomatoes to make the sauce. Also, the risotto, etc in the small boxes cost a lot. Don't look at the package price, check the unit price, i.e., price per pound. If you buy rice, it is so cheap, e.g. Aldi has a 20 lb bag for under $7-8. There are vegetables that will stay good without refrigeration, e.g., potatoes, onion, garlic, carrots, radish, daikon, eggplant, zucchini, etc. You can also buy dry beans and make soup or beans. Use your own spices like oregano, cumin, red pepper, black pepper, etc and you will not need the prepackaged stuff. The $1 bag of pasta is about 5-6 oz of pasta and 1/4 oz of salt + flavor. For the same $1, you can buy good pasta without those chemicals and salt. Growing up in India, we did not have a fridge and still we did not have to shop every day except for milk. If you eat this packaged food, you will ruin your health. Mankind does not need to eat meat or dairy anyway. Go vegan for best health. Check the recipes at drmcdougall.com, drfuhrman.com, forksoverknoves.com, etc.
I learning English from you young lady
Awesome!!
Karli, I like most of your choices (except peas...Blah!). I also have an egg/banana or banana/Chobani for breakfast. I like the Chobani Flip Key Lime Pie and Apple Crisp, along with the pineapple, black cherry reg. Chobani yogurt. Knorr teriyaki noodles. Thanks for sharing.
hi ya, just wondering how you keep your salad without a fridge
I eat it within a day or two and then buy more if I want it again. I can keep cabbage for maybe 3 days before it dies on me.
thankyou
The eggs too
How can I keep eggs without refrigerator? Do you put them somewhere cold or just room temp? And yogurt, does it keep well without being in the fridge or do you also keep it somewhere cold?
Ice chest for purchased eggs. Natural, straight from the hen, unwashed can be stored at room temperature. Washing eggs removes the protective coating that allows a hen to lay eggs for days before starting to incubate them, producing baby chicks.
Girl, you've got one hell of a metabolism. Or, I'm just old...if I ate those foods, I would not be looking nearly as good as you do! -I'm planning on keeping a good amount of food storage, too. Who is it that keeps 2 of everything on top of their rig?? The name escapes me but they've also got the alarm/security system I'm drooling over and I'll be styling something similar to their food storage as well. So, doesn't seem odd to me. We'll just be needing a rather large fridge maybe 10 cubic inches by idunno, something tall. Less than apt size, bigger than a top door cooler, for to store all the leafy greens, super foods and meats I'm forcing the kids to comply with. Muhahaha... Ehem. My 14 yr old isn't happy about that and would much rather eat what you've got going on. 😉 #moms247 😅 Thanks for sharing! 💚
Their channel is Vanlife Sheldon’s Travels! I bet you will find something that will work well for your family!
Curious Karli yeah... Lots to shove in a mid sized bus. So much to consider. It's getting really real as this weekend gets closer. Send me all those amazing nomad vibes! 💚 Stay well, Ms. Karli!
Sending vibes!! 💙 #skoolielife
how do you keep salad without a cooler, do you eat meat or fish, nice video
Amd the yogurt and eggs
No fridge? Salad gets nasty if left out..j/s. That food would probably last me 2wks..don't forget peanut butter..Have a Good Day
Eats salad rite away
How long does it take you to cook the rice being that you’re using propane stove when do you have to replace your propane
It cooks a little quicker because my stove is hard to control the burn temperature.
Great list, smart shopping. ...By the way where did you get the coffee cup (red one)????
It is part of an enamel dish set. GSI Pioneer Stainless Steel Rim Table Set
Thank you Karli! Are these Walmart prices?
Yes
Your prices are sure alot cheaper than at Walmart in Canada, that would have cost double.
@@whereswendy8544 Winco is cheaper than Walmart .
K . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! !
thanks for sharing
You're so cute👍
This is all really unhealthy I was looking for recommendations but most isn’t even truly edible I hope you take vitamins
But, what do you do about pizza?! Do you get to eat pizza on the road?
Yes! I just have to buy it already cooked.
Can I order you Chinese take out?
haha! I love Chinese! It is definitely a choice to eat how I do because I want my funds to last as long as possible.
I used to get Chobony yogurt almost every night until I heard something bad about it.
What did you hear?
Curious Karli I don't remember exactly. But something in the process that makes it toxic.
I'll have to look it up and give you the sight tonight.
I love my "Dead Baby Chickens!" (Eggs.) Question.... Don't they need to be refrigerated?
They need to be cool but not refrigerated necessarily.
@@CuriousKarli Commerical eggs should be refrigerated!!! The protective coating that slows down spoilage was removed when the eggs were washed. Eggs, straight from the hen, that have not been washed can be stored at room temperature. That was one of the ways eggs were stored, for short periods of time, when people kept chickens.
Hi Karli . It sure is fun to see how you shop . It looks delicious .you should take me shopping .⚓
Vegans get more donations. Just saying.
