New subscriber here! I love how you don't just discuss how minimalism saves money and time but you recognise how over-consumption is awful for our planet. Thanks for a great video.
I love how your voices are calm and not oversaturated, unlike those of most TH-camrs these days, it feels more genuine and like a real conversation, thank you for that :))
You save 10,000s a year by not eating out?! Is that dollars? Where do you eat out? xD Where do you shop? I live in one of the most expensive places in my country and I could save about 5,000 pounds a year... if I never ate again in any shape or form! xD If I ate at home I would save very little.
Yep, Australian dollars! A typical meal out is $30. For breakfast, lunch and dinner out daily that's $90 a day ($630 a week, yikes). 52 weeks in a year which equals $32,760 on food out. Working in the city, Josh and I used to eat out nearly every meal so for the two of us that number doubles ($65,520 a year). Now we eat at home, shop at Aldi, and meals cost us roughly $3 a serve :) Such savings! We have friends that still eat out every single meal but we'd definitely rather the money :)
@@minimalistsmanaged I just realised that you meant for 2 people and in Australian dollars. It made no sense for one person in Europe. I still think that you are downplaying how much you spend at Aldi, though. Unless Aldi is 5 times cheaper over there.
This is an Australian channel, of two people. Cooking at home with Aldi ingredients is insanely more cost efficient here. Their math is correct, trust me!
@@lemonlime2054 For their math to be correct, they need to take into account that they are actually spending money in Aldi. But the sound of it, they are putting together the money they have not spent, but not deducting the money they spend at the supermarket, the money they spend in energy cooking, the water they spend doing the dishes and the time. Once they remove all that money from the total of what they have saved, that gives a more realistic idea of savings.
I'm an Aussie too, and though I think you might get breakfast more cheaply, l never expect to get lunch much less than $30. And dinner, I allow $50, more if I want a glass of wine. I seldom eat out, and every time I travel, I seem to need to budget more for meals.

Welcome 🥰 So happy to have you here! Thanks for the lovely comment, we’re glad you enjoyed 😊

Thank you so much for the compliment! We're so glad you enjoyed :)
I wonder if you would consider doing a meal-planning video? I'm an Aussie who also shops at Aldi, and I hate wasting food, but it happens.
We definitely can! We’re actually planning a minimalist meal planning video now 🥰 Can’t wait to share it with you ☺️
YES! Old minimalist, and new subscriber here ❤
