  • It’s all in the title, 1 month, 4 weeks, $400 TTD, which is approximately $58 USD. Can we really survive in Trinidad and Tobago with these funds for the month, and by survive we are referring to food only and does not include gas and other cost of living expenses.
    So join me my Trinbago Vibes peeps as we explore this concept of feeding myself each week, well basically $100 TTD per week for 4 weeks and in this one we dive into WEEK 3

    With $400, you could have purchased a small chicken with your peas, flour etc in the beginning and utilize it ever so often with your meals. Some groceries sell pumpkin, bodi etc as well so those items could work as well.

    • @TrinbagoVibes
      @TrinbagoVibes  ปีที่แล้ว

      True, had I spent all of it in one go, but I wanted to try $100 per week and see what I could have gotten at a different grocery each week

    Sandwich loaves tend to be quite light and don't fill you up. I suggest you use the flour with just 1pkt of yeast and make bread or bake. It will go with cheese or tuna..or sardine etc and last longer. Also prices at S and S Persad is always great. Get some green fig and if you are looking for chicken..the thighs are the cheapest and very versatile.

    • @TrinbagoVibes
      @TrinbagoVibes  ปีที่แล้ว

      You’re absolutely right Karmini, didn’t even think about green fig cuz I have in my back yard, unfortunately they weren’t ready yet and yeah I was planning to make a bread, but I went the lazy route

  • @reeshardramjohn1901
    @reeshardramjohn1901 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    $400 too tight, doable, but too tight for me. I would add a $150 to $200 and stock up on some meat, eggs, and that butter you miss out on. $550 for the month is pretty reachable by most individuals in T&T

    • @TrinbagoVibes
      @TrinbagoVibes  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@TrinbagoVibes I keep thinking of cooking curry chick peas, and adding lentils. I have uncooked basmati and jasmine rice staring at me in the fridge. I could go vegan for a week.
      Rajeev, I have an idea for a curry video for you, for the next year. You could do an international curry hopping video with Trinidadian, Guyanese, Chinese, Japanese, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Thai food, and come up with the best tasting curry. I am sure you have all those countries' cuisine in Trinidad, and maybe more. You could make a documentary out of it.

      Okay first of all that wasn't the point on this video if you read the caption you would have known. Secondly he specifically said it was just food-wise (excluding gas,bills etc.) Thirdly the video is very informative, it's not him just stuffing his face it's actually shows good budgeting and a great way to save money, cause let's be honest not alot of ppl budget well and spend tons of money on food a week.
