Nice consistency with the challenge Vibes. I wondered if foraging would be included in your rules for the challenge? By foraging I mean like picking fruits off trees .
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.
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.
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
Oh, boy . You really good , I don't think I can make that four weeks with those food. Boy you good, blessings to you and your beautiful wife. Thanks for sharing.
$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
Don’t want to get to serious. that challenge hard boy. It make me think some people really live like this. struggle with food it not easy . I know it’s fun video but it had me thinking. the dhal and sardines nice surprise. had that before.,enjoying your videos. 😊😊
Thanks and yeah it would have peeps out there who live like this and it’s sad when you think about it, but at the same time doing these challenges does have me rethinking my ways in terms of buying food
Nice to see your split personality. LOL You have carryover items for week 4, so you should have money in the budget for chicken. did you season the lentils and chickpeas with curry powder?
@@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.
@@kurtnelle well 5 lbs less, but apart from my possible low metabolism, it’s also possible that the body is preserving for now as it’s not getting a balanced diet or at least enough, so it’s conserving all that carbs intake, well that’s my speculation
ok so what about toiletries?? what about soap to bathe? soap to wash? toothpaste? toilet paper? shampoo & conditioner? i see you driving so what about gas money for the car? what about your light bill and water bill? you uploading videos what about your internet bill? you have a phone what about putting money on the phone or paying the phone bill? you are making a mockery of people who actually have to survive on a little bit of money. if you doing something do it right! don't jus stuff your mouth with food and say you surviving in trinidad and tobago with $400 for the month. there are many people living in trinidad and tobago who REALLY SURVIVE on little! you doing foolishness!!
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.
This is the coolest challenge I’ve seen in a while… I’m so invested at this point 😅
Much appreciated Latisha 🙏🏽
Nice consistency with the challenge Vibes.
I wondered if foraging would be included in your rules for the challenge? By foraging I mean like picking fruits off trees .
Thanks Ricky, initially I did include picking fruits from my mango tree, but eventually just stuck with what I bought
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 looking forward to the grand finale!!!
Much appreciated 🙏🏽
You must reward yourself with some nice big restaurant food after this challenge is done 😆
Most definitely, but then again I find myself not really wanting to go to those big restaurants, lol
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.
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
Congratulations, this video was GREAT!
Thanks and happy you enjoyed it
Another good video,love it !
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏽

Yup, $550 could definitely go a longer way
You could still make it fancy. Salad and thing
If I had lettuce growing in meh backyard, lol, but yeah I could have gotten a cabbage which isn’t expensive and tried some thing
You could really survive, Trinbago vibes..Awww 😮LOL 😆
Lol, thanks Nadia

Nice to see your split personality. LOL You have carryover items for week 4, so you should have money in the budget for chicken. did you season the lentils and chickpeas with curry powder?
Lol, yeah definitely getting chicken the next rounds and I didn’t even think of adding saffron to the lentils but it has been added to the peas
@@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.

Hi like you change do a great job
Thank you 🙏🏽
Yooooo brother nice video

By myself, I would do the challenge and make it work But with a child to feed too, pressure!!!
Agreed, this is definitely super difficult with a younglin
Pressure
If again
Try exploring the High Hills in Trinidad for 24hrs Challenge but please have GPS on you if u GO.
One of these days, I’ve to build back my endurance before I tackle something like that
@@TrinbagoVibesJust Take Care of yourself and Create a Good DIET. I am also trying to get Fit and feel good again.
Yeah working on that now, as I want to take part in a half marathon in November
After the 1st 3 days for me I'd fail!!!!
Lol, yuh never know
Was the market out of the question cause u could get stuff for less.
Yeah, wanted to do different groceries this round and was considering the market for a future video
Did you weigh yourself before and after this challenge? Was there a change?
I did not weigh myself unfortunately, but I think I maintained my weight
@@TrinbagoVibes Weird right? I wonder how come that happens. Less food for a month but we staying the same weight!!!
@@kurtnelle well 5 lbs less, but apart from my possible low metabolism, it’s also possible that the body is preserving for now as it’s not getting a balanced diet or at least enough, so it’s conserving all that carbs intake, well that’s my speculation
😂❤❤❤
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
you could Survive mate
Lol , yeah
You got cheapest but also worst quality in many items, it affects yield as well. Challenge shows the need for this type of education for youth
It is what it is and I made do with the resources set out by the challenge
Rajeev u torturing yourself with these meals....next time try better grocery items.i wud ah be crying lol
Lol, let me know what are those better grocery items
ok so what about toiletries?? what about soap to bathe? soap to wash? toothpaste? toilet paper? shampoo & conditioner? i see you driving so what about gas money for the car? what about your light bill and water bill? you uploading videos what about your internet bill? you have a phone what about putting money on the phone or paying the phone bill? you are making a mockery of people who actually have to survive on a little bit of money. if you doing something do it right! don't jus stuff your mouth with food and say you surviving in trinidad and tobago with $400 for the month. there are many people living in trinidad and tobago who REALLY SURVIVE on little! you doing foolishness!!
