After the 3rd or 4th meal my wife offered the kid to get take out one evening. I said we could have another vegan meal. The kids could not decide!! That is a huge compliment.

    I was ready to complain about this because these videos always do the same: they calculate the price of the meal they make by grams and all that which I think is unfair and counterintuitive.
    But this? I can tell you were actually making a video to help people with a low budget not just trying to ease the title for views.
    As you said in places like America there's no way that much groceries amount to 20$ but also this is probably the most realistic and cheapest video. You even avoided using complex machines that not everyone has.

    I am super inspired by this! Becoming vegan has been so surprising when it comes to learning about food and getting to know new people/blogs/friends that have the same mindset and creative drive and it's honestly the best decision I ever made.
    Thanks for making this so much fun, PUL!

    Thank you so much for making videos like this!!

In addition to that, I recently moved out of my parent's, so videos like this are extremely helpful!

Great job Sadia❤love watching you!!

    Thank you PUL! My first comment ever, but I just had to.
    I have been wanting to eat more plant-based, but my family is scared of trying a different lifestyle. With this budget meal plan I can afford to just cook separately for myself. I know my family will love your recipes and offering them a chance to taste without forcing it on them, will increase my chances to change the lifestyle of my whole family.
    I hope you will do more of these weekly meal plans. It’s perfect for people like me who want to change their lifestyle but don’t know where to start! I especially love a week meal plan because you are using up the ingredients you buy! Trying to figure this out myself with individual recipes has just been too overwhelming. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

    It's always funny/sad to see that other people's budget videos spend more than my everyday grocery budget (under $20 for the full 7 day week). No shade, it is nice to see these for inspiration. I keep a spreadsheet of cost per ounce of my staple ingredients at different grocery stores (applesauce, spices, dry beans, peanut butter, onions, potatoes, etc.); then I figure out the cheapest place to purchase each item. I make one stop at whichever store has the best fresh produce sales that week, and grab some of whatever of my staple freezer or shelf items are cheapest at that particular store. Dry beans and potatoes are where a majority of my calories come in. I'm glad a lot of people dont have to budget this harshly, but I hope this might help someone whether you do or not :)
