All the grains and legumes (not including the veggies she bought) here come out to about ~12,000 calories. Divide that by 7 days the it's about 1,800 calories. Considering that's only about $1.50 a day spent on grains/legumes that's legit. Of course that's the worst case scenario having only that much to spend. If we double our budget to $3 a day on this plan then we're all set! You'll have enough budget to spend on sauces / seasoning / and hella fruits.
I love these videos! I actually sat and watched this one with my two year olds and they loved identifying all the different ingredients you were using. You also reminded me that my husband used to make huge batches of fresh salsa that were so much yummier and cheaper than store bought. We'll be adding that to our meal plan again soon! And I agree with some of the comments below - I would love to see you bringing usuables to the grocery store (Sprouts won't remove the tare on containers so you can use mesh bags) and using glass storage containers for meal prep; I used mason jars when I prepped your last vegan meal prep for weight loss. Thanks for putting in the time to make these videos for your followers; they add so much value to my life!
in my experience, buying frozen is good you can get several cauliflower servings for around $1 frozen from walmart not the best option but that's all I can afford and it's pretty good
I love thiss and these videos are so amazing you're such an inspiration. You're the reason I'm still vegan bc you make simple videos and they're not too complex like the what I eat In a day's w/ a million ingredients. PLEASE make more of these!!! Luv ya
I love this I wemt vegan for a month and I stopped because I had no idea what to buy or eat. Now that I know more about it I want to but my mom says its expensive as I used to think but your video helped a lot ! Thank you!
Haticesahin70 wow....such a wonderful video and you have to pick it apart. Going vegan is the greenest thing a person can do. This video hopefully can encourage people to do so. Your comment isn't wrong just would be nice if the focus was on her positive message.
labella42071 They're not wrong though...just because she's vegan doesn't mean there's nothing left for her to improve on That's like saying if you're vegetarian you don't need to be vegan because you're already doing so much I don't think they meant to negate from the video and veganism, it was probably just a tip to improve her behaviors
labella42071 Ok and I was just reiterating that your comment came off kind of condescending when we both agree what they originally commented wasn't wrong
Huntress Artemis the vegan community is plagued with people who criticize each other for not being "vegan" or "green" enough. This negativity turns people away.
Boy our prices are different. You got 2 limes for 23 cents. That would cost me 78 cents at the store. All the other prices are higher too. Getting all those tomatoes for just 1.02 would have easily cost 4 times or more where I live. I absolutely love this type of video though and hope you do more of them.
Yeah this sort of thing is really different all the countries you go to. Like Yovana lives in a place with a warmer climate, and I live in Canada, so some of those ingredients would not be so inexpensive here BUT we have other things that ARE less expensive. just switch it up to taste :)
us too, and we live near farms, it is just too expensive. We do grow foods to help us but we have a short growing season, clearly we live in the wrong place.
so true add that with my allergies (including carrots, bananas, and avocados) and it's so, so hard...I stay vegetarian but after I moved out of my parents house a few years ago I couldno longer afford to eat vegan because vegan food is more expensive (which wasn't as much of a problem with my parents) and less accessable for me personally to eat foods most vegans say I should (I can't eat foods I'm allergic to!)
I work with someone who has multiple, multiple allergies, otherwise she would eat vegan too. Lots of produce she can't eat. I started wondering if it's the pesticides they've sprayed on produce. She's too hesitant to try the organic versions.
Yeah, I've tried the fancy organic carrots (even homegrown ones family friends grew) and they taste the same they give me a metallic taste that can stay for hours or even days I used to eat bags of carrots (occasionally, a couple times a month) as a kid and I loved them but then something changed I thought it was pesticide or something they put on them too but nope :/
Rawvana, I enjoyed how you have organized these meals. If you soak the beans overnight and then cook, they increase their vit C content over 100%. Beans are the only food I know of that will maintain their Vit C if brought to a boil and then cooked on low until done. Watching if you get cravings of any kind. If you crave sweets, it means eat more fruit. If you crave fatty foods or salt it means eat more greens. I'd add a bit more greens, for my own personal liking. Thank you so much for your tips. Particularly the breakfast smoothies of oats with banana and/or carrots. With Warm Regards, Keiya
Unbelievable I can't believe how easy it all looks. Can you continue posting videos like this? I'm new to the plant-based diet world and I'm in desperate need for more recipes and easy prep stuff
My favorite video of meal prep for vegans!!! Realistic , real food, and affordable, absolutely loved this video , a lot of Mexican food easy to make , loved it!!!!
I love this video!!! I am going to do this. Sometimes I get overwhelmed in trying to figure out what to make. This is a great way to get your nutrients and it's simple. Thank you for your channel 😊
Yovana! Dear one, you are so incredibly special, aligned, beautiful and a living example of love manifest, divinity. The healing work you have done, are doing and will continue doing is truly and deeply appreciated by both the seen and unseen aspects of all that is. I see your journey! May the seeds you plant continue to reward you with the fruits of joy, peace and a spirit that is moving towards true realization of self. Peace be with you, angel.
When I first seen this I was thinking to myself, this was so simple and not well thought out. But when you were saying the best way to eat is simple foods and my tummy will thank me. This video was awesome!!
Eating vegan is only expensive if you buy those certified vegan products like pre made meals, baked goods, snacks, drinks, etc. The prices on those items are sky high. Buying fresh produce is incredibly cost effective and you can get as creative as you like. A tip that has saved me a bunch of money is shopping at international grocery stores for produce. I've found stuff a lot cheaper and sometimes more variety at Asian and Hispanic grocery stores. Im not 100% vegan but I have been adopting a more plant based diet and cutting down my meat intake. Crazy how much money I save.
I love this video!! I'm on DAY 2 of my 30 day NO MEAT challenge but hardly a challenge as I'm only really giving up Chicken & fish as I don't eat Beef or Pork anyway, & videos like this are SO SO HELPFUL!!! Although I live in London & my food bill is never this cheap...😞 THANKS FOR A FAB VIDEO
I loved this!!! Wow. I'm starting college in a few weeks and I've been worrying about food and expenses and you're helping me be more reassured that I can eat healthy while staying within my budget! Would love to see more of these simple recipes
Girl this was so helpful. I've been spending too much for my personal liking because I dont meal prep like this. Definitely glad I watched this and I'm off to meal prep
saw this video during a work break but didn't have to watch it and spent 10 minutes looking for it and so happy I did! Budgeting is a must and you made it so easy! thinking about going vegan and you just removed a hurdle for me! many thanks!
I am new to your channel and I am loving it...I discovered you thru Jenne at Sweet Potato Soul and Mayte Moncada, and Dr. Mauricio Gonzalez....I have been vegan for over 10 years now and it's so good not to eat processed foods...and you are right eating vegan is not expensive...sigue enseñándonos y empujándonos a mejorar la forma de ver las verduras y frutas como partes esenciales de nuestras vidas. Gracias por todo...thank you for everything
It's a good video but there's no way that's enough food for a week. Even with the lowest possible calorie requirements, you would only get through a couple of days.
I really enjoy your video's. I've watch all sorts of vegan/raw channels but I always come back to yours because it's simple and easy and upbeat. Thank you so much. I am going to give this a shot. These latest video's are soooo awesome. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Wow Rawvana my family and I are taking a road trip to Florida next week and I wanted to make a bunch of cheap meals to take with us and its funny because after watching this it feels like I should have known already what to make it feels like it should have been obvious that I would make stuff like this but I was drawing a blank lol...thank you so much!!💕 Very helpful!
Thanks so much for helping me as well as others with this awesome meal prep video. This is my first week of vegan and I really needed this too keep me motivated. Will subscribe!!!
Hello, Joanna! I'm from Spain and I'm grateful to meet you. I'm doing your plan for 4 weeks and the benefits are amazing. One question: I think that the plastic lunchbox are bad for health, iis better to use them made in crystal. What do you think? Thanks!
I loved this video, only how are you reheating the meals, in the microwave? The nutrients get zapped that way. I suggest putting everything in separate pots with lids, and when you want to eat something that needs heating, put it into a small copper based Balti bowl on the stove, that way it stays healthy and nutritious 😊
I'm new to ur channel. I've got my workout dwn & started to eat right, but learning to plan out meals for the wk has been a challenge. Thanks for making it super ez! Motivation to do it TODAY🤙
Great job 👍🏿. Will try that next week. My only problems is the salsa as soon you add salt to tomato it's release lots of water 💦. I always make my salsa 5 mins before time to eat.
With the price point you used it seems like you may have been inspired by the live below the line challenge. If so it would be more interesting to see how you felt during this length of days of eating on such a small budget.
I’m super broke right now thank you so much for this! Here’s the breakdown of what I spent 10 pound bag of potatoes $3.99 2 pounds organic apples $3.49 5 zucchinis/2.49 pounds at 99 cents a pound $2.47 1 pound organic carrots $0.99 16 bananas/5.43 pounds at 39 cents a pound $2.11 1 lemon $0.79 Teddie Peanut Butter with flaxseed $2.50 Quaker Oats non gmo 2 pounds 10 ounces $3.99 Light red dry kidney beans 1 pound $1.29 Black beans dry $0.99 Canned chickpeas 1 pound 13 oz $1.19 Grand Total $23.80 I’m not going to eat 10 pounds of potatoes in a week so that will last me awhile. I already had rice so I didn’t need to buy that. I really like peanut butter and it was on sale. It’ll be so yummy in the smoothies. I really wanted some fruit so I went for apples. I bought a lemon because lemon water is so good for you! There were no dry garbanzo beans at my grocery store so I mixed it up and bought other kinds plus one can of garbanzos. I skipped the tomato and onion salsa because I suffer from acid reflux so I try to stay away from tomatoes. I also bought way more bananas because I’d rather have two bananas in my smoothie and they were so cheap that I mind as well.
Hey Rawvana JSuch a cool idea to show tha world that is easier and cheaper to eat this way! You have so much viewers too and you are truly making a difference in this world .You are definetly one of the most inspirational people I follow on TH-cam xxx Besos muah muah!
I had literally done the oats-banana-cinnamon cookies like four days ago when bunch of my bananas had ripen all at once, that too without knowing/following any recipe. Great minds think alike!
hi i really love your videos and thanks so much for sharing....may i ask you if you think tapioca is a healthy choice as i boil it and then make a simple dish with a bit of coconut oil + a bit of green chilli powder+ turmeric + broccoli + corriander then add the boiled tapioca (after soaking it in water for few hours) ?
Egan is expensive in NYC. I’m vegan but our supermarket prices are at least 3 times more expensive than anywhere else. I wish I had supermarket prices like that of rawvana’s!
Great video, thank you. My doctor has recently (2 days ago) put me on a vegan diet. Sprouts is a great place to shop for bulk foods. I have two questions- I have a problem with gas when I eat beans, lentils, oats; essentially the grains, legumes, etc. Is this allergy a compounded effect over the decades from bad eating? And does it clear up after a while of being on a vegan diet? Appreciate your help.
What containers do you use??? I have been looking for those three compartment ones but have not been able to find them.... and thank you great meal ideas! Keep it simple and nutritiously delish!
I'm assuming she only accounted for the cost of the amount of potatoes she used? Like maybe she didn't use the whole bag but it's hard to tell from the video :)
Excellent! I love beans and all of the meals you put together looks delicious!! Keep up the good work! I love your Spanish channel as well. Still trying to learn Spanish, but still enjoy it. :)
Not sure if Rawvanna reads these, but if so: Have you noticed a difference in your moods or energy since incorporating cooked foods into your diet after being predominantly raw? Thanks!
Love all your videos! Just turned Vegan a month ago Im loving it and your videos have helped alot!! I love your earrings where are they from I want them!!!!😍😍😍😍
Thank you for this video Rawvana. I'm slowly transitioning to vegan. It's not easy but the more I educate my mind about the benefits of eating vegan it makes it easier to make the necessary changes. 2018 is the year that I put more effort into it and I'm sure that by the end of this year I'll see and feel the benefits. 😊
I'm in shock with the price! Definitely wanna try that! That would be $45.00 PER MONTH!!!! I'd love that! I've been getting to the conclusion that keeping a plant based diet might be the healthiest thing, specially for my pockets! I've always been a big time carnivore, but I'm thinking more about eating less meat, causing less impact to nature and other living beings, eating healthier. It's just the start. I don't know how will it play out in the long run... if anyone that is longer in this journey wants to recommend me other information source on how to eat cheaper and healthier I'd really appreciate it!
great video :) but going to a grocery store that is far away from where you live it's more expensive, even if they have lower prices. The money and time you spend to get there are greater that a few bucks you might save up. Also, hardly even a store has lower prices in all of the products. Most likely you can find things of lower, equal or higher price so it serves a purpose only if you want something specific for a really good deal (e.g. detergent). Also the bulk section is not as sanitary and well preserved as sealed products and in case of a quality issue you don't deal with a brand name company that cares enough for the brand reputation among customers.
Great video! This is the difference between living in the USA and Canada. You cannot get groceries that cheap here. It would cost 3 times that amount at least in Canada. Still, vegan is a lot cheaper.
All the grains and legumes (not including the veggies she bought) here come out to about ~12,000 calories. Divide that by 7 days the it's about 1,800 calories. Considering that's only about $1.50 a day spent on grains/legumes that's legit. Of course that's the worst case scenario having only that much to spend.

Thanks for putting in the time to make these videos for your followers; they add so much value to my life!
For your tomatoe salsa. You can add silantro and if you like spicy add any kind of peppers. As jalapeño and much better salsa. Kinda pico de gallo.
Oh my! Loved this... Keep posting meal prep and shopping list! This is going to make my life easier! Thanks so much :)
also depends where you live. In my area (Capital of Canada) we could easily spend $5-$8 for just a very small head of cauliflower.
in my experience, buying frozen is good
you can get several cauliflower servings for around $1 frozen from walmart
not the best option but that's all I can afford and it's pretty good
I live in the capital too!! Hah!
These are all great, wholesome foods but they could be ramped up quite a bit with herbs and spices!
Lenora Dernoga yes completely agree!
Very much agree. And those aren't expensive as well.
I love thiss and these videos are so amazing you're such an inspiration. You're the reason I'm still vegan bc you make simple videos and they're not too complex like the what I eat In a day's w/ a million ingredients. PLEASE make more of these!!! Luv ya
cilontro would go nice with that tomato and onion salad as well
I love this I wemt vegan for a month and I stopped because I had no idea what to buy or eat. Now that I know more about it I want to but my mom says its expensive as I used to think but your video helped a lot ! Thank you!
You should use reusable bags/cans for your produce and stuff from the bulk bins.. the plastic bags are so bad for the environment :(
Haticesahin70 wow....such a wonderful video and you have to pick it apart. Going vegan is the greenest thing a person can do. This video hopefully can encourage people to do so. Your comment isn't wrong just would be nice if the focus was on her positive message.

Love you Rawvana! Sending love and light from Germany
For the oats and banana, u can also simply cook the oats and sweeten with the banana if u don't like smoothies or drinking your breakfast :)
I love your inexpensive meal prep videos
I do on a daily basis haha but i'll try to buy some in the next video!
Unbelievable I can't believe how easy it all looks. Can you continue posting videos like this? I'm new to the plant-based diet world and I'm in desperate need for more recipes and easy prep stuff

Aw thank you so much Angela!
Rawvana English you are most welcome!! ❤
The most useful and honest video ever. This was actually relatable and it makes anyone want to try it!
saw this video during a work break but didn't have to watch it and spent 10 minutes looking for it and so happy I did! Budgeting is a must and you made it so easy! thinking about going vegan and you just removed a hurdle for me! many thanks!
This is so helpful and actually looks filling! I will be following this exactly for my first week as a vegan!
I am new to your channel and I am loving it...I discovered you thru Jenne at Sweet Potato Soul and Mayte Moncada, and Dr. Mauricio Gonzalez....I have been vegan for over 10 years now and it's so good not to eat processed foods...and you are right eating vegan is not expensive...sigue enseñándonos y empujándonos a mejorar la forma de ver las verduras y frutas como partes esenciales de nuestras vidas.

Yovana that's literally amazing!!! You are doing such an awesome work ❤️ Thank you for videos like this ❤️
Wow! $1.50! And people said being vegan is so expensive lol
CassieSidney it only is if your trying to get all the fakin products or you get nonseasonal
all people who say vegan is expensive are thinking you need to buy meatreplacements
It's a good video but there's no way that's enough food for a week. Even with the lowest possible calorie requirements, you would only get through a couple of days.
The Amount of food you need dependes on the Person itself so for here it is enough food
Dave , how many calories do you eat a day?
I am a new Rawvana fan and I LOVE your videos for eating cheap weekly vegan meals, they are sooo simple yet so nutritious! Thank you!!
Aw thank you beautiful!! And welcome to the RawvanaFam
Thank you! I am so happy to be here! :)
Love this! You can easily add a few different spices to fit each meal to whatever you're feeling like eating!
I've just tried the oats and banana smoothie omg it's delicious ... cheap, simple and perfect THANK YOU it will be my everyday morning routine !!!
I really enjoy your video's. I've watch all sorts of vegan/raw channels but I always come back to yours because it's simple and easy and upbeat. Thank you so much. I am going to give this a shot. These latest video's are soooo awesome. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
So it's been 10 days that I became vegan and I feel so Goood!!! I'm so happy to watch this great video. Thank you!
Can you do a video about where you get your Tupperware and cool kitchen utensils!? Love thisssss
Thank you. I absolutely enjoy these affordable meal plans! You inspire !
Wow Rawvana my family and I are taking a road trip to Florida next week and I wanted to make a bunch of cheap meals to take with us and its funny because after watching this it feels like I should have known already what to make it feels like it should have been obvious that I would make stuff like this but I was drawing a blank lol...thank you so much!!💕
Very helpful!
Heres increible. Con wsta reseta no solo nos inspiras a comer saludanle sink tambien a. Ahorrar en comida 😱 Wow.
This is amazing, thank you!
I would have loved to have seen a more 'slow pan' over the finished assembled lunches to better absorb the end result.
Great ideals, I just became a vegetarían in the last six month but considering going vegan and you make it look easy.
Thanks so much for helping me as well as others with this awesome meal prep video. This is my first week of vegan and I really needed this too keep me motivated. Will subscribe!!!

Salsa looks so good can’t wait to make it. amazingly easy meal prep thank u 🤗
it's not always cheaper to buy bulk. it pays to always compare! just wanted to add that bit 💜
Tried the smoothie with oats peaches and vanilla soy milk delicious. Thank you
I like that you are paying attention to the costs of things.
Thanks for the preparation tips. This will save me a lot of time in the morning!👩🏽🍳
Awesome, awesome video! Love all the meals and especially knowing that these delicious meals are so affordable!
I'm transitioning to RAWESOME life and your videos are a big help!!! THANK YOU!❤❤❤🍅🍍🍓🍏🥝🥑
Ah that's awesome!!
I'm new to ur channel. I've got my workout dwn & started to eat right, but learning to plan out meals for the wk has been a challenge. Thanks for making it super ez! Motivation to do it TODAY🤙
Wow! I think that this is the first REALLY simple and cheap week meal prep video I have ever seen! Thank you Rawvana, XD!
Great job 👍🏿. Will try that next week. My only problems is the salsa as soon you add salt to tomato it's release lots of water 💦. I always make my salsa 5 mins before time to eat.
Way too much cuteness in one video!
aww haha thank you 🙈❤️
This looks like a really easy, yummy and healthy meal prep! I think I'm going to make this for next week! 😊
Great ideas!I'll try it that way since I cook a lot....I made your cauliflower rice last Sunday it was yummy! Blessings.
It's super tasty, isn't it? Glad you liked it!!
With the price point you used it seems like you may have been inspired by the live below the line challenge. If so it would be more interesting to see how you felt during this length of days of eating on such a small budget.
I will try to oatmeal banana-carrot smoothie. Thanks for sharing.
Wow Rawvana, thanks for showing how cheap & easy vegan diet can be! You did a great job! Who can complain about $1.50 a day?
I’m super broke right now thank you so much for this! Here’s the breakdown of what I spent
10 pound bag of potatoes $3.99
2 pounds organic apples $3.49
5 zucchinis/2.49 pounds at 99 cents a pound $2.47
1 pound organic carrots $0.99
16 bananas/5.43 pounds at 39 cents a pound $2.11
1 lemon $0.79
Teddie Peanut Butter with flaxseed $2.50
Quaker Oats non gmo 2 pounds 10 ounces $3.99
Light red dry kidney beans 1 pound $1.29
Black beans dry $0.99
Canned chickpeas 1 pound 13 oz $1.19
Grand Total $23.80
I’m not going to eat 10 pounds of potatoes in a week so that will last me awhile. I already had rice so I didn’t need to buy that. I really like peanut butter and it was on sale. It’ll be so yummy in the smoothies. I really wanted some fruit so I went for apples. I bought a lemon because lemon water is so good for you! There were no dry garbanzo beans at my grocery store so I mixed it up and bought other kinds plus one can of garbanzos. I skipped the tomato and onion salsa because I suffer from acid reflux so I try to stay away from tomatoes. I also bought way more bananas because I’d rather have two bananas in my smoothie and they were so cheap that I mind as well.
Incase anyone is wondering I bought all of this at Market Basket.
Nice. Great !!!!!in your salsa if you add cilantro that we called. PICO de GALLO in Mexico and jalapeño. Yeaaaa Graciassss
Thank you so much Rawvana for showing us that we really can eat vegan. I'm slowly changing but this was inspiring!
Hey Rawvana JSuch a cool idea to show tha world that is easier and
cheaper to eat this way! You have so much viewers too and you are truly making
a difference in this world .You are definetly one of the most inspirational
people I follow on TH-cam xxx Besos muah muah!
Aww thak you so much!! You're so sweet!!
I had literally done the oats-banana-cinnamon cookies like four days ago when bunch of my bananas had ripen all at once, that too without knowing/following any recipe. Great minds think alike!
haha definitely! ❤️ i love those cookies too!!
Hi Palasha, were the raw oats tough on your digestive system? I worry about that.
Hello, what a wonderful video, please tell me where you found your rice steamer? Thank you God Bless!!!
hi i really love your videos and thanks so much for sharing....may i ask you if you think tapioca is a healthy choice as i boil it and then make a simple dish with a bit of coconut oil + a bit of green chilli powder+ turmeric + broccoli + corriander then add the boiled tapioca (after soaking it in water for few hours) ?
Egan is expensive in NYC. I’m vegan but our supermarket prices are at least 3 times more expensive than anywhere else. I wish I had supermarket prices like that of rawvana’s!
Love this video! Please keep doing these types! Love the simplicity of them
You should do more of these. I love these kind of videos!
Thanks for helping me take the step into veganism, honestly couldnt do it without this type of videos! Appreciate it, its a big help!
Rawvana this is great!!!! You should make this into a series!
Great idea! I will!
Jessica Olsen good idea, maybe different types of meal options.
Great video, thank you. My doctor has recently (2 days ago) put me on a vegan diet. Sprouts is a great place to shop for bulk foods. I have two questions- I have a problem with gas when I eat beans, lentils, oats; essentially the grains, legumes, etc. Is this allergy a compounded effect over the decades from bad eating? And does it clear up after a while of being on a vegan diet? Appreciate your help.
You’re so adorable and I absolutely loved this video! Thank you 😊
What containers do you use??? I have been looking for those three compartment ones but have not been able to find them.... and thank you great meal ideas! Keep it simple and nutritiously delish!
How was it $.98 for potatoes? It said $1.69 on the sign where you grabbed them from. Did you put that bag back and find a cheaper route or something?
I'm assuming she only accounted for the cost of the amount of potatoes she used? Like maybe she didn't use the whole bag but it's hard to tell from the video :)
There's another sign for 98 cent 10 lb. bags of potatoes. Maybe that's the one she took
Omg I just found your meal prep videos and I am Just amazed😍 greetings from Germany 💕
Thank you!! This is super helpful. Question, what is your favorite blender? I am looking to invest in a good blender but they all have mixed reviews.
I make an oatmeal-banana-carrot smoothie (and the "cookie" things too) but I use puréed carrots that I've frozen into little ice cubes :)
I love your videos but can you show one with more options for lunch and dinner
Your skin is beautiful! Amazing what good nutrition does for us!
Excellent! I love beans and all of the meals you put together looks delicious!! Keep up the good work! I love your Spanish channel as well. Still trying to learn Spanish, but still enjoy it. :)
Not sure if Rawvanna reads these, but if so: Have you noticed a difference in your moods or energy since incorporating cooked foods into your diet after being predominantly raw? Thanks!
I really like the oatmeal banana smoothie, will give it a try in the morning
Love all your videos! Just turned Vegan a month ago Im loving it and your videos have helped alot!! I love your earrings where are they from I want them!!!!😍😍😍😍
Great video. I have been looking for a video that simplifies meal prep. Do you cook your oatmeal before making the banana oatmeal smoothie? Thanks.
Thank you for this video Rawvana. I'm slowly transitioning to vegan. It's not easy but the more I educate my mind about the benefits of eating vegan it makes it easier to make the necessary changes. 2018 is the year that I put more effort into it and I'm sure that by the end of this year I'll see and feel the benefits. 😊
I'm in shock with the price! Definitely wanna try that! That would be $45.00 PER MONTH!!!! I'd love that! I've been getting to the conclusion that keeping a plant based diet might be the healthiest thing, specially for my pockets! I've always been a big time carnivore, but I'm thinking more about eating less meat, causing less impact to nature and other living beings, eating healthier. It's just the start. I don't know how will it play out in the long run... if anyone that is longer in this journey wants to recommend me other information source on how to eat cheaper and healthier I'd really appreciate it!
great video :) but going to a grocery store that is far away from where you live it's more expensive, even if they have lower prices. The money and time you spend to get there are greater that a few bucks you might save up. Also, hardly even a store has lower prices in all of the products. Most likely you can find things of lower, equal or higher price so it serves a purpose only if you want something specific for a really good deal (e.g. detergent). Also the bulk section is not as sanitary and well preserved as sealed products and in case of a quality issue you don't deal with a brand name company that cares enough for the brand reputation among customers.
great video I'll try it where do you buy those containers got to get some.
I love that recipies!! Just got scared of the huge amound of plastic bags and containers... try out taking reusable bags to buy in bulk☺
I just tried the banana cookies with a pear instead, which is amazing :)
I will defintely try that oat and banana smoothie looks delicious.
Thank you so much I am a new subscriber and this is very simple and convenient I appreciate the videos. Thank you 😊
gracias your videos are always inspiring...😍😍😍I will let try it myself to make a better life changing
This was one of the easiest I've seen! Thank you!
Thanks for another amazing video! :) It's been a while since I've been watching but the vibe is even better! Awesome!
nice, simple, wonderful preps 😊😊
Great video!
This is the difference between living in the USA and Canada. You cannot get groceries that cheap here. It would cost 3 times that amount at least in Canada. Still, vegan is a lot cheaper.
