Try doing a budget shop at Whole Foods! I feel like it can be "whole paycheck" or it can be relatively affordable if you buy store brand, shop sales, etc. I would be interested to see what you come up with :)
Yesss vegan inexpensive and environmentally sustainable I’m here for it. Only suggestion I’d love is if you throw up some notices in the beginning of the video on the shelf life of these items bc some people are busy / traveling for work / short on time in the evening etc. thank you for this!!!
Winco or Walmart! I live in the PNW too and know those are both widely available (at least in OR and WA). Love the cheap recipes! I’m on a budget so I love seeing this content. So many vegan recipe videos involve lots of expensive or hard to find ingredients, or long list of ingredients and it’s just not relatable. Thanks for this content!
Thanks so much for making this! I always shop at Trader Joe’s and actually aim to spend $50 or less each week, so this was perfect for me. I vote for another Trader Joe’s video and a Walmart one could be super interesting.
That is a really great idea, using brocolli stems with pasta, I've always wondered what I could do to avoid wasting the stems, I usually compost them but this is a great way to not miss out on all the nutrients! Thank you!
You made your comment ages ago so you may not see this, but I finely dice the stems and chuck them in a vegetable stir fry, then taste so good! :D You can also use them in juice if you're making vegetable juice :)
Wow this is fantastic. Thank you. I just recently decided to go vegan and have felt so lost. Your channel has been a gigantic help. I now feel like I'm pointed in the right direction now and can help others as well.
autumn leaves as someone who’s closest grocery store is Walmart and doesn’t currently have a car Walmart is the best place for me so take your negativity else where kthanks bye 👋
Walmart! I love your videos girl they give me inspiration and motivation to eat healthier, i usually shop at Walmart so it would be amazing if you did one of these for there ❤️❤️
I would love to see a Walmart haul! Love these kinds of videos, gives me so much inspiration to stop eating out and get in the kitchen 😊 I would save so much money!
This is the first time I run into your videos and I loved it! I travel for work and carry all my meals for the time I'm away from home to eat healthier and save money. I'll definitely try some of these things to take with me on the road. I also love the simplicity of your meal prepping. Thank you and I'll be looking forward to some more great food ideas.
I can't decide on a favorite meal, but I *adored* the tray of roasted veggies, and their versatility within the meals! This was such a solid meal plan and beautifully made video. These have been my favorite kinds of videos as I try new ways to feed myself cheaply, quickly, and vegan..ly. Thanks for making such a good one!
Added my vote below, just wanted to say thank you for sharing the pepper cutting tip. I got a deal on a bunch of peppers and need to cut them up to freeze and portion out so I will definitely be using that tip!
To avoid the bitterness of tempeh, I always steam it for 10 minutes before using it in any recipe. It really helps, although your technique used here probably does the same thing. Helpful video, with great ideas!
Just made all of this, it was $28 because i had a few items at home, but this was super easy and fun to make. my favorite is the pesto sandwich (i used tofu instead). the hummus and lemon dressing is such a great idea too! Excited for this week thank you for this video :)
Wish I had a Trader Joe's in Vancouver, Canada. I've gotta make my way down to Trader Joe's sometime. Everyone in the US tells me I've gotta visit one for the first time. Great video, thanks! I'd say shop at Costco next!!!
I usually only do partial trips and limit to items on sale or do low cost canned items or jarred items. Their 365 is good. But some other brands are similarly priced as long as you search for basic items. You also need to make a list and not be swayed too much by refrigerated sections. I love vegan cream cheese and sour cream. Also if you buy nut milk it is sometimes cheaper to buy the shelf stable ones in the cereal aisle which are cheaper than the ones in the refrigerator section
Would be interesting to see one of these where you do a week of meal prep with zero waste or as little as possible (maybe 100% plastic free?) I think it would be a fun challenge, and though it may be more expensive so probably not on a budget, it could give a lot of inspiration for little changes and hacks for shopping plastic free/minimal waste.
Yeah, I'm in the PNW as well. We don't have an Aldi. Sadly, we don't have a Whole Foods anymore either. We have Chuck's, Trader Joe's, Kroger, Winco and New Seasons.
Awesome video! Those chocolate bars are so good. I also love their mini dark ones bc they are individually wrapped for on the go. The lentils are actually really flavorful on their own and are pretty good cold. I vote for Sprouts as the next haul.
love this style of video ...i meal prep every week ... not full meals just things to help make life easier n ive never thought of 2 different veg options for dinner n tea ...seems silly but its true that's genius as i usually prep n eat same veg but a variety...as the more colours the better so definitely using this as gets a little samey ...THANKS ...glad your doin this style once a month ...😊😊
do one with an ethnic market such as Mexican, asian, etc or whatever is closeby to you!!! Those are generally more affordable and you can get some special ingredients :)
Thank you for making this video with the grocery shopping haul. Can you please continue to make more videos like this? I am on day 2 of my vegan journey and I need all the help I can get.
I think Whole Foods because it will be a challenge but also maybe you can show us how to budget there. They are sooo expensive! On the other hand I think Walmart would be a good option too because it is not anything special and not a lot of vegan options but also most people have access to a Walmart, so this one could be easy for people.

Delight Hailman I was going to say the same thing!!
Same!
Ain’t budget friendly Whole Foods
Aldi. I really really want to see what you can with Aldi. (:
YESSSS
Me too, but because I'm from Germany and curious how Aldi operates in the US :D
In Polish Aldis we have some products branded Trader's Joe, for example vegan tortillas and nuts :)
nymph That's awesome! I don't think we have things like that in Nebraska. Hope she picks Aldi. 😂
and Lidl if you have one!
Shop at Aldi’s if you have one. If not then walmart
I love Aldi's!
Yes please (we in Europe only have Aldi and not any Walmart etc )
We don't have Aldi in the Pacific Northwest (where Caitlin lives).
Yes aldi please!!
Aldiiii!!!!
My vote is for Target! They now have a pretty good grocery section, and it would be nice to get all of my shopping done at one place
produce at Target where i live is limited to say the least
The Target in my area's produce sucks. Good variety but they're often spoiled. 😔
@@LanieLouK Oh darn! Mine is usually decent. Not the best but not unusable!
@@LanieLouK Targets by me have bad produce too
My Target has no fresh food.
Aldi!!!!!

Good point! If you make all of these recipes on Sunday everything will last through Friday :)
@@CaitlinShoemaker ahh okay; thanks for responding! :D :D

aldi!!! aldi is my favorite but the selection isnt huge so id love some fresh ideas
Love how budget friendly this is!
Please do Walmart! I think it would be most accessible for the most people.
Budget friendly low waste grocery haul at whatever grocery store that has non-plastic options, please!!!
Aldi, if there’s one by you!
My favorite take away was roasting all the vegetables for the week at the same time. Big time saver!
I really hate Walmart but I think in terms of accessible for everyone it should be on the list
Thanks so much for making this! I always shop at Trader Joe’s and actually aim to spend $50 or less each week, so this was perfect for me. I vote for another Trader Joe’s video and a Walmart one could be super interesting.
OK the intro/outro are giving me serious flashbacks from when you used to film in that little nook in your FL apartment!
I really appreciate the way you organized this video by task/actual order if things rather than by recipe.
Aldi and whole fooods!!!!!
You're insane! I never saw so many delicious vegan ideas and recipes in one short video!!!!
That is a really great idea, using brocolli stems with pasta, I've always wondered what I could do to avoid wasting the stems, I usually compost them but this is a great way to not miss out on all the nutrients! Thank you!
You made your comment ages ago so you may not see this, but I finely dice the stems and chuck them in a vegetable stir fry, then taste so good! :D You can also use them in juice if you're making vegetable juice :)
You can also use them with other veggie “unwanted” (like the parts of onions or celery that you don’t use) to make vegetable broth!
@@osakasweetie19 yeah broth is amazing, I made some the other day! I use it in gravy and stews and things, the kids love it ^_^
Thank you so much for a wonderful video! It was so kind of you to take the time to make this!❤️😊
You have great taste too!!😃
Whole foods Market
TinaLouise this is a budget friendly series 😂 lol
Gabriel Girardi I shop at whole foods vegan for $50! It’s a bit of a struggle 😂 but it can be done
Safeway PLEASE. Hope you have a good week.

Wow this is fantastic. Thank you. I just recently decided to go vegan and have felt so lost. Your channel has been a gigantic help. I now feel like I'm pointed in the right direction now and can help others as well.
Pls do crock pot meals and some more groceries from Trader Joe’s!
The UK vegan Madeline Olivia does this too for all the UK watchers.
Best realistic meal plan EVER! Girl you outdid yourself! Loved it🥒🥦🍅🥑🥰!
Walmart ❤️
Btw I absolutely love your videos
HELL NO
autumn leaves as someone who’s closest grocery store is Walmart and doesn’t currently have a car Walmart is the best place for me so take your negativity else where kthanks bye 👋
These are great! How bout doing one from Aldi
Walmart! I think it would be so helpful for most Americans who don’t always have access to health food stores. 😀
Liked the tempeh pesto sandwich and the way you used the broccoli stems. Aldi shopping would be fun. Thanks for the work you put into these videos.
Omg yes I’d love this series!! You are such an amazing chef and honestly you’ve helped me realize how many different ways to make vegan meals tasty!
I wish you lived in Texas that way you could go to HEB. They have amazing deals all the time and super cute kitchen and baking goods 😍
That bell pepper cutting tip you shared got this an instant thumbs up.
Walmart! I love your videos girl they give me inspiration and motivation to eat healthier, i usually shop at Walmart so it would be amazing if you did one of these for there ❤️❤️
My vegan daughter would love this
The pasta looks good 👌 . I love Trader Joe's so you can go there as many as you want 🤗
I would love to see a Walmart haul! Love these kinds of videos, gives me so much inspiration to stop eating out and get in the kitchen 😊 I would save so much money!
Hummus and lemon juice to make a salad dressing - Brilliant!!! Thank you for sharing.

Loved this! Moving in less than a week and about to do a big TJ’s haul so this will come in so handy. Thank you Caitlin! 💚
I love this video! Some people may find it boring, but I’d love to see a series! $50, $60, $100 per week along with recipes! Thanks for the video!
I love that broccoli stalks idea. So important to use everything

Whole Foods, Target, Central Market .
Love Trader Joe’s too.
This is a really good meal prep vid. I like the offering of m/w/f and t/th meals, and that you included all 3 meals/day. Thank you.
You can broth, cooking wine, juice and or water plain or infused to roast and sauteed vegetables
Subscribed as soon as I saw the way you cut the bell pepper. I hate wasting edible parts of veggies and fruits so that was awesome! Fantastic video.
Aldi!
You really didn't waste a second in this video! You rock! :)
Definitely Aldi!
Wow I loved that bell pepper trick!! So useful
More videos like this please!! with cheaper alternatives possibly from aldi or Walmart!
99 cents store would be a good vegan challenge.
More of these yes
Cooking the tempeh in the pesto and water is brilliant! I can't wait to try it. Thank you!
To avoid the bitterness of tempeh, I always steam it for 10 minutes before using it in any recipe. It really helps, although your technique used here probably does the same thing. Helpful video, with great ideas!

Yay!!!! Love this. Would love to see more Trader Joes editions.
Cannot wait to try, this looks awesome
I’d love to see a Kroger haul 😁😇 I love your budget videos!! ❤️

Always interested in Trader Joe’s recipes
Would love to see how to do Whole Foods on a budget! Can’t get out of there with any affordable total!

The broccoli spaghetti with pesto looks delicious!😋😋

the pesto tempeh is GENIUS!! I am definitely trying that!
Market Basket please!! I've gone there a couple of times; love the fresh produce, wide variety and affordable. xx
I feel like that tempeh recipe is going to be a game changer for me. I couldn’t figure out how to get it to taste good but that looks 💣
Aldi
Wow!! I love love love this video!!
Please make more like this!! I’d love to see one for Sprouts, and Whole Foods!! Thanks for your great content!!
Caitlin this is amazing you are seriously a creative food genius everything looks so healthy and so yummy at the same time can't wait
Awesome video! Those chocolate bars are so good. I also love their mini dark ones bc they are individually wrapped for on the go. The lentils are actually really flavorful on their own and are pretty good cold. I vote for Sprouts as the next haul.
Sprouts, costco, target. Thanks!
billboard top 50 this week
Thanks for all the great recipes. I would like to see what you do with shopping at Aldi's.
Mad respect for you. I could never be vegan. All this food looks good but when it comes down to it, I wouldn’t eat half of it and I hate myself for it
Perfect this is my weekly budget and needed to go vegan because of healthy reasons
Walmart!!!!!! Yasssss I love these vids..🙌🏻❤️🌱
Prepping the Oatmeal in the jar is such a fantastic idea!
love this style of video ...i meal prep every week ... not full meals just things to help make life easier n ive never thought of 2 different veg options for dinner n tea ...seems silly but its true that's genius as i usually prep n eat same veg but a variety...as the more colours the better so definitely using this as gets a little samey ...THANKS ...glad your doin this style once a month ...😊😊
🌻 was great LOve Trader Joes I like the fact you used Vegan products thank you 🌻🌻
Whole foods on a budget would be excellent, not sure it's possible but worth a try.
vegan pesto would be a dream to have widely available
Ok very cool stuff
A budget Whole Foods or standard grocery store could be helpful to see. Especially since those stores are criticized so heavily.
Loved this so much!!
Bean and Risoni was my favorite.
Walmart of cheaper than Aldi most of the time so do that one!!
I would say the Temph sandwhich was probably my favorite, but oatmeal also has my heart
Aldi and Whole Foods!
do one with an ethnic market such as Mexican, asian, etc or whatever is closeby to you!!! Those are generally more affordable and you can get some special ingredients :)
Thank you Caitlin!! Always coming in with the goods, love your channel 😍💜
Thank you for making this video with the grocery shopping haul. Can you please continue to make more videos like this? I am on day 2 of my vegan journey and I need all the help I can get.
I think Whole Foods because it will be a challenge but also maybe you can show us how to budget there. They are sooo expensive!
On the other hand I think Walmart would be a good option too because it is not anything special and not a lot of vegan options but also most people have access to a Walmart, so this one could be easy for people.
Do one for Aldi!
Nut butter + water = Nut milk. Genius, thank you for the tip!
