      Same. God, I'm so fucking tired and also a busy and broke vegan so I'm always watching these hoping there are some time saving hacks for making healthy (mostly) things quickly that also don't get old and boring. Lmao I love how I thought I'd automatically get healthier by going vegan lol nope, I still have a pretty shit diet, even after 4 years as a vegan. @ VEGAN JUNK FOOD, THANK YOU FOR EXISTING BUT ALSO YOU'RE NOT MAKING HEALTH ANY EASIER FOR ME
      Help. Sincerely, a low-energy vegan

    literally not snacking is the one thing i did that saved me so much freaking money while grocery shopping
    also granola is so expensive when you buy it but it’s just oats and oats are so cheap

    • @meghanbugg
      @meghanbugg 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      My local Asian market makes their own tofu (its soooo good) and it’s thirty five cents a block! It’s insane!

    • @sequinsmtg
      @sequinsmtg 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Yes! Other things that are typically much cheaper than at other stores: curry pastes, coconut milk, rice, rice noodles, nori sheets, and some produce items. Totally worth checking out!

    • @christinamariemoney
      @christinamariemoney 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      meghanbugg 35 cents?! I would live off of only tofu 😂

    • @kendallmorgan3425

      Hispanic grocery stores are really great too! Super cheap bulk produce and dry goods like rice and beans.

  • @Zyane
    @Zyane 7 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    In Germany there is usually at least one weekly fresh market per city or larger village and most of the veggis and fruits are from regional farmers or directly bought from wholesale. It´s often much cheaper than in the cheapest supermarkets if you look carefully (apples 0,90 € per kg vs 2,40 at a discounter). And erverything comes unpackaged and no one will say a word if you bring your own bags.

    • @IndieJenny

      Got that here too! Im from Portugal are it's something much done here too.

    • @Zyane

    • @alegl5759

      Im from Germany too and I save the most money by buying my fruits and veggies from Turkish markets and some from Asian. Definitely the cheapest 😁

    My biggest money-saving and health-counscious trick is "shopping" at my mother's garden and/or pantry. It's not leeching because I help with the planting/watering/tending/preserving etc.

    i’m a newly vegan teen and you have no idea how much these videos are helping me. I’m figuring out everything as I go and shopping for groceries is always hard for me because i’m picking out my own food and i’m cooking my own meals myself for the first time since my family isn’t vegan but thank you for putting out all these helpful tips and tricks love your videos ❤️

    Thank you so much for mentioning tips to reduce waste. Being vegan is so important yet living as close to zero waste is very important as well. It’s an issue that I think even a lot of vegans don’t realize. Thank you for making a difference

  • @kurapikakurta3863
    @kurapikakurta3863 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    My own strategy in keeping my cost down is meal prepping, sticking to very simple meals, I don't snack and only drink water at home. I also base my meals around dr. greger's daily dozen as well to streamline things a bit. Not sure if it's just me, but I never grow tired of eating my absolute favorite dishes, so I tend to just make at least 2 stews/soups over the over weekends and have them everyday for lunch and dinner every single day and eat them either over rice, pasta or bread(mostly rice because I'm Southeast Asian). For breakfast, I only eat oatmeal that I cook the same way every single day. This may not work for some people but it has really made things so much easier and cheaper for me. My grocery these days only cost me around 10-22usd (500-1200php).

  • @morganchavis1835
    @morganchavis1835 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In my experience, between Aldi and Walmart I'm set on staples for very affordable prices. And any "specialty" items can usually be found at Trader Joe's for way cheaper than Thrive Market. I do have an Earth Fare around where I buy a few bulk items but sometimes even that's more expensive. I also can a lot of things myself which saves a lot of money and I know exactly what's going into my food.

  • @Nicki13Lover
    @Nicki13Lover 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The county I live in just started charging 5 cents for every plastic bag a person needs to encourage reusable bags. I personally don't mind since I always have a few (or ten) bags stashed in my car but some people are definitely not thrilled

  • @marisakchartier
    @marisakchartier 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    i shop the clearance racks at 2 grocery stores near me and usually get a lot more food, its usually just near the date or dented box or whatever but still good i buy all my produce this way unless for some reason there arent enough clearnace items(but usually there are tons). i spend about $40 a week for my 7yr old son and myself and we dont go hungry. we get to eat a bigger variety of food this way which is great. i bought 12 big lemons this week for $2(normally .89 each at my store) so were making lemonade popsicles!

  • @joyn9573
    @joyn9573 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes! Thanks for mentioning on using jars and such for bulk bins. I didn't know I could do that and was worried about paying more for something bc I had a heavier jar.

    • @gensearcaigh4738
      @gensearcaigh4738 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      How old are you? I am not yet a "Certified Adult" so I have no idea how to grocery shop or budget well. Like I don't even necessarily grocery shop often, just when I know I'm low/running out of something and I also have no idea how to buy groceries for the week/two weeks/specified time period. It can lead to a lot of waste as well as having no idea what to cook. Any tips?

    I had wisdom surgery (all 4 plus one really bad tooth for a total of 5 teeth surgically removed) two weeks ago and I couldn't eat solid foods or didn't feel comfortable eating them. So I consumed a lot of liquids. Veggie and fruit packed juices (I made sure they didn't have a lot of sugar in them or any at all) and then there were the protein shakes.... I had to drink them to stay healthy as I couldn't find vegan ones. I was so disappointed with myself. But! I'm back to solids and I'm back to my preferred diet and lifestyle (vegan) these are revving me up tbh and I'm excited

    @MyssMaggie 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can also use the reusable produce bags for bulk items, as the holes are too small for rice, beans, nuts, etc. to fall through. This would skip the step of pre-weighing the glass jars on some items.

    You’re right about shopping around. There is also an app called “Flipp” that shows you all the stores’ adds in your area.
    I don’t use coupons that much, but I do try to stretch my dollars as much as possible.

    I've noticed nut prices are MUCH cheaper online compared to most stores. If you're looking for cheaper nuts (especially more rare/pricey nuts like pine nuts), check out eBay! I've found a few farmers who sell theirs online for lower prices than my grocery store, so I also get to support small farmers.

    Here in the Netherlands, food that have to fresh are cheaper at the end of the day. They sell them for at least 35% cheaper at the end of the day, because otherwise they have to throw them away anyway. My tip is to do groceries at the end of the day.

I've been vegan for a year now and I still struggle finding oil free options for dressings, pasta sauce etc. I could make my own, but I have a very busy work schedule and the store bought products are very helpful. Thank you very much. Happy New Year!!!!

      what a shame! It must be a way for big companies to somehow get more money/space in supermarkets. I want to see the days where coupons happen for brocolli = buy one, get for 2 free!!! But sadly making a population healthy does not bring in the big bucks.

      NUGGET UR ASS OUT the comment is showing you don't have to be vegan for your food to be cheap. It's where and how you shop

      No, I'm not vegan at all, but I figured I'd mention it as part of the price. Without the goat cheese, my total would be $9.52!

    I have a question about your tip to buy organic spices; you say they lose more nutrients in the refining/heating process, but since one usually uses such little amounts of seasonings in relation to their entire meal, wouldn't the differences in nutritional information between organic and non-organic (which I already assume can't be that big of a difference) spices be negligible? I'm just wondering for myself because I usually opt for the normal ones since they're so much cheaper (and damn, they already be expensive af), but don't know if I should start investing in organic spices?

    The price of fresh berries are absolutely slaying me right now. Nearly cried when I saw blueberries were $8.99/carton at my grocery. Frozen berries only for me right now.

    Also, ‘name brand’ grocery items tend to have more salt and/or sugar, which is the part that makes them addictive.

    Chicago has a bag tax and I love it. Most people bring reusable bags to avoid it so it’s really become the new norm. 🌱
