Having traveled quite a lot, I have found food in Finland to not be that expensive if you eat the right way. The people complaining are those buying a bunch of processed stuff, sweets, snacks and eating out all the time. If you that then of course things add upp and get reallt expenesive. But stick to the essentials like, meat, eggs, butter, dairy... and you will find it suprisingly affordable. Its sad that proper food is so expensive in some places, but for long term health and wellbeing I still think its worth every penny to invest in your nutrition. But as in my example, atleast here in Finland it does not have to be very expensive if you are smart and strategic about it. I know many people (also students) who wonder and complain how I could afford to eat like this and be eating high quality meat every day while they are scraping by eating noodles and macaroni. The difference is they spend atleast 50€ a week on partying and alcohol, money which I'd rather invest in my health and nutrition than spend it on something which is straight up poison for my body. Its also crazy how normalized drinking is in university, people drink multiple times a week and think its wierd if you dont. I am super thankful that I never fell for the temptation of alcohol and now I feel like I despise it and would not want to drink it in any way really. It saves me an incredible amount of money and I have decided that the money I dont spend on bad stuff like that, I allow myself to spend on memorable experiences like traveling and my hobbies (hunting, mountaineering) and also more high-end foods once in a while like some expensive meats such as Finnish wagyu, duck or something nice and tasty
Very good tips! I haven't thought about trying to negotiating at butchers ever, I need to see if they would give me a discount if I buy more. But in general Ive 100% noticed that Im spending less money on food now on the carnivore diet👌
1) Beef is great but don't underestimate pork! Pork is absolutely delicious and cheaper than beef. In Bulgaria we have the pork neck steak which is very popular. They also sell the whole neck and you can cut the steaks yourself or just slow cook it. Pork shoulder is a cheap cut that has a lot of connective tissue and when you slow cook it it is fork tender You can even make some pulled pork and you can crisp it up in the pan and put on top of your eggs for some extra crunchy texture. 2) Don't sleep on Chicken Wings Cheap, lots of tasty skin and collagen and super tasty. Just put some salt on top and bake them in the oven uncovered. 3) Skin On Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks - cheaper than the breast meat much more delicious full of fat and connective tissue 4) Canned meat (check for Mechanically Separated Meat, Sugar/Maltodextrin and MSG) If they are NOT present, canned meat can be an affordable, tasty option with a lot of convenience. Sometimes life happens and you might not have time to cook - this is usually a time where people cheat on their diets Having something that you can eat not cooked or cooked for 5 minutes can be a great thing And usually canned meat is salty which can be good on the Carnivore Diet 5) If you eat spices on the Carnivore Diet, fresh sausages are a great option. Read the label or ask the butcher if there is any sugar in it and if not sausages are a great way to eat affordably and have some variety of flavor. There are so many options to eat on a budget on the Carnivore Diet
There is so much misinformation and misconceptions of the carnivore diet that its important we share the message so more people get to learn the truth!
I live in Spain, and the most popular supermarket here is Mercadona. Since they close on Sundays, I’ve found that Saturday evening after lunch is the best time to score deals-lamb for 50% off! I prioritize ruminant meat like beef and lamb, but I’ll sometimes have pork, chicken, or seafood, which can get pricey. But when I think about how much I used to spend on pizza and takeout, it doesn’t even compare! What’s your go-to supermarket for deals where you live? And do you have a favorite time to shop for discounts?
I try to eat as much beef as possible, but here its quite a bit more expensive so I have to capitalize on deals. Lamb is not popular here and super expensive so I dont have it very often. As a student my money is unfortunately not quite unlimited so I have to be a bit strategic, but for me pork has been a great alternative. Around here I usually shop at K-Citymarket since they have the best selection and the best deals Ive found. There is also Prisma and S-Market, but they have a pretty poor selection, but sometimes they have some stuff on -60% off late in the evening so if lucky you can get some great deals. Most bigger stores close to me are open 24/7. Usually I try to see if there are any specific products with lots left and not far from expiry. Usually they put them on sale the day before the expiry date so I go in the morning to check if I can find anything.
All you have to do, is pretend that you didn't hear the words grass fed and organic. Once you muscle your way past the GMO soy feed from Brazil, the inflammatory omega 6 fat profiles, antibiotics, growth hormone and the pesticides, all manner of budget options open up.
Luckily here in Finland the animals arent fed soy and are mostly fed grass and some grains depending of quality and conditions are pretty good. But in my opinion its still better than most of the other non-animal stuff you can get at the store.
Pork belly is so delicious. Been eating it almost a bit too much recently since I got a lot a great price. Much better than bacom which usually has additives. Really on of my favourite cuts!
I started recently eliminating all processed foods out my diet just as a start to a new journey of healthier eating. I've found here in the UK is really expensive to purchase red meat in particular I really wanted to eat grass fed organic meats instead of the supermarket crap since I've been informed they contain antibiotics and not as good nutrients since they're grain fed. So now I feel stuck on how to proceed. Maybe I just bite the bullet and eat supermarket meat since it'll still be a better option than the processed crap I had been eating.
Eating super market meat is still a lot better than almost any of the non-animal products you find at the store even if it might not be 100% optimal. I would still bite the bullet and take that choice instead of eating the other stuff. Is pork and eggs expensive in the UK? Here its ususally the cheapest meat you can get at around 5-12€/kg depending on the brand and cut. Eggs are also quite affordable. Pork is also super nutritious and a good alternative if beef is really expensive or not very available. I eat about 60% pork and 30% beef and 10% other meats in general and I have felt great that way. Here Im lucky that the meat in stores in generally very high quality so I dont need to be too concerned and Im lucky to also be able to get lots of fresh, organinc meat by hunting, which I really believe is the best way if its possible.
@@60-DayCarnivoreChallenge pork is pretty affordable in comparison to beef here for sure. Eggs not too bad either. From your videos the store bought meat does look pretty good quality in comparison to here that's for sure. I think I'll just keep experimenting till I find an affordable method. I still feel like I'm in a trial and error period with what I'm eating anyway so it may take several more shops to know what I'm going to base my diet on. Thanks for the reply
I watched a Doctor that advocates the Carnivore Diet say that animals such as cows that have multiple stomachs probably have less bad things in their meat even if grain fed. He was not against supermarket beef. That was his opinion. Something to think about. And a question from me: When you were eating crisps, sweets, fast food etc. did you think of all the chemicals in them and the origin of the commodities in them?

PLEASE COMMENT!!! How much would you estimate that amount of food costs in your country and which country is it?
As I said in Finland it was 63.15€
And Brits think that Finland is expensive 🤣. In England that would have cost about £75, rather than £50 for the equivalent in Britain.

You should try it! You can save a bit if they accept, everything adds up in the long run
"hunt the best deals you can find" I like that!
Hunting your food is always the best! Be it with a gun or in the store😅
1) Beef is great but don't underestimate pork!
Pork is absolutely delicious and cheaper than beef.
In Bulgaria we have the pork neck steak which is very popular.
They also sell the whole neck and you can cut the steaks yourself or just slow cook it.

Cheap, lots of tasty skin and collagen and super tasty. Just put some salt on top and bake them in the oven uncovered.
3) Skin On Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks - cheaper than the breast meat much more delicious full of fat and connective tissue

And usually canned meat is salty which can be good on the Carnivore Diet
5) If you eat spices on the Carnivore Diet, fresh sausages are a great option.
Read the label or ask the butcher if there is any sugar in it and if not sausages are a great way to eat affordably and have some variety of flavor.
There are so many options to eat on a budget on the Carnivore Diet
That is amazing
i cannot wait to compare my groceries of being on the carnivore diet for a month to the past
If you are smart about it you will be suprised!
That really is quite cheap😳 I could not even eat that much in a week😅
Sadly people really overestimate the cost of going carnivore
There is so much misinformation and misconceptions of the carnivore diet that its important we share the message so more people get to learn the truth!

Usually they put them on sale the day before the expiry date so I go in the morning to check if I can find anything.
Liver, eggs and ground beef will save you quite a bit. Also my favorite
Organs in general are great because so many people are scared of buying them so they are usually heavily discounted on the expiry date!

I often buy the pork belly it's much cheaper and plenty of good fat, i olso bulk buy and freeze, a carnivor diet can be very cheap
