A few months ago I hit a very tight spot in my budget. I had 30€ for a whole month to spend on everything. Gas, food and other needs. I had other tight times before, but this month was really tight, because of other bills pouring in. So I hardcore shopped my pantry and freezer. I get fresh fruits at work so I only bought the cheapest veggies I could find and got through that month without going hungry. That month made me appreciate all I have so much more and now have my eyes open for people who are struggling. I had only this one month, others have this every month 😞

Great idea! Here (Munich, Germany) I'm at 21,76€. This was fascinating! Actually I have spelt spaghetti, because they where WAY cheaper. Also they didn't have dried chickpeas online and a can is 1,29 - where I know I can get them for 49 cents at Aldi, or just use dried. The organic lentils were the cheapest, also the organic lime had the same price as the non organic lemon!

A tip for inexpensive whole wheat flour - get Atta flour. It is finely ground whole wheat, it works well in baking cakes, muffins, flatbreads, it’s like a whole wheat pastry flour. It has a slightly different protein content because of the type of wheat it is made of, so it doesn’t work as well by itself for baking a loaf of bread, as it comes out a little flat. But you can combine it with a bit of high protein wheat flour to make good rolls and other yeast bread.

Yes, monthly shopping with occasional produce runs in between is better because you can work things to afford #25 bags of staples to use over several months. Bulk buying is much less expensive and allows for more variety (and also more fresh produce) without using more money. Frugality was necessary for my large family at first but now is my hobby.

And proceeded to facepalm, remembering the price of meat LOL (sigh) I admit I love being lazy and stay at home and be creative with what's already in the house. And it's also so easy to pop out to the shops just to get 2 items. But with the price of gas nowadays... ehhh better stay home lol and those lentils! SAVIOUR The breakfasts with variations on oatmeal+bananas is brilliant. I took that idea (it was floating around for a while) and made it into some type of dense bread baked in the oven that I cut into breakfast bars (or meal saver on the road).

Me and my boyfriend eat on just over this amount, with about 150$ a month. We're not super concious but we do choose cheap légume filled vegan meals

I live in Recife, Brazil, and got curious, so I put every item of the grocery haul on my local supermarket app! The total came up to R$ 102,49 reais, or U$ 20,27 dollars (but the chickpeas, lentils and popcorn were in 500g bags). At first, it doesn't seem that bad, but the minimum wage here on Brazil is R$ 1212,00 reais a month... But I also know that it would be much cheaper to buy the grains on a bulk shop and fresh produce on a street market! 🤔 I love watching your videos, you make my vegan cooking so much easier, I used to get caught up in trying to make elaborate meals but ended up getting tired or lazy, and eating junk food instead (still vegan, but not really healthy...).

So thankful you shared this info! I know so many people would find $20 for a week of groceries, but it’s helpful to compare that to the minimum wage as well! And I’m glad my simple recipes have helped you cook more again. I love quick and easy recipes, that’s for sure!

So I’m not actually plant based but I found your channel the other day and you’ve inspired me to incorporate more veggies in my diet. I have nearly all of these ingredients so I want to give these recipes a try. I’m counting macros and I’m trying to get 130g of protein a day. I’ve noticed that vegan food is carb heavy although there is still some protein. Would nutritional yeast or tofu work in the taste of any of these meals to help boost the protein content? Thank you so much for your content! I bought your book and I’m looking forward to learning more to expand my diet.

Hi! I’m so glad you’re here and are enjoying my content! Nutritional yeast would be great in or on the marinara sauce and I would have loved baked tofu with the soup or a tofu scramble with nutritional yeast to pair with 1-2 pancakes. I hope you like the recipes and can make them higher in protein!

I stumbled upon this video of yours and I'm so glad! I'm always looking for budget meal ideas but most of the videos out there don't have enough veggies for the way I like to eat. I'm not even vegan or vegetarian but I cook a lot of very similar things to what you had here in this video on a regular basis! cool video and you gave me a few good ideas, I'll def try that pumpkin soup and your bread recipe, and those lentil patties! looked so good

have you considered if sourdough would be another way to save on bread while adding a lot of flavor? and it is healthy, too. of course it depends whether you like sd. You seem to be a very good planner and cook. I can smell it all!

I love sourdough and just recently became a sourdough mama! I just didn’t include it because I figured more people bake with yeast so I wanted the recipes to seem attainable for more people ☺️
