My most recent grocery order was 50 pounds of brown rice @ $33 (Great Value brand) and 24 pounds of pinto beans @ $18. That is a 32 day supply of calories for me (I eat 3800 calories a day, btw) for about $54 after tax. I can eat that every day, and make it taste different if I spice it differently (I bought 30 pounds of whole spices (in bulk whole is the ONLY way to buy spices;) a couple years ago for $300, and that's enough to last me 5 years or more). So...I do not tire of eating the same thing every meal of every day. I had brown rice for breakfast, with cinnamon and apples, I had a cold rice salad last night with beans and corander/cumin/black pepper, I had spicy beans and turmeric fortified rice later, a soup, a veggie burger, stews, casseroles, loafs, and so on. There are 1000 different ways to make beans and rice, from smoothies to entrees. When I'm working out, if I need a sports drink, I have rice and strawberry smoothie for a quick boost. I might of course add whatever fresh produce I like, and is on sale or in season, to round out the nutrition profile with some vitamins and phytochemicals. I usually go for collards, kale, cabbage, apples, carrots, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, seasonal (seasonal = cheaper and better) citrus/berries/melons/et cetera....and I frankly just avoid the expensive stuff. Right now the avocados are 1.60 EACH...and they are sooooo smol. Ugh no. I'm not paying $6 a pound for avocado, lol. So, anyway.....at the risk of this turning into a blog....lol.... The moral of my story is, base your diet on the intact starches: rice, beans, starchy root vegetables, pastas, intact grains....make sure the fresh veggies and fruits you buy are seasonal or on sale, use your freezer for leveraging sales to your advantage (just make sure you wash and dry your kale or collards BEFORE you freeze them), and that's the best way to take the burden of inflation off your and your family's backs. Everyone around me is wringing their hands about food prices, but I'm like 😎 Inflation? What's that?

@@kathyholston5826 Seriously, you need to cut ties with the pre-packaged ready to eat foods. That's the biggest expense, I think. Get an Instant Pot, and cook your beans from dry, and the pot will pay for itself in a month;) If you have health insurance, contact the insurance company and ask them if you qualify for a food assistance card. My health insurance sent me one, unsolicited, for $75 a month, which just about covers the cost of my groceries. Though since I don't need it, I make a donation (of dry beans and pasta) to the local food bank;) On that note, I see people filling up their grocery carts with hundreds of dollars of prepackaged food, soft drinks, and meat, while they say "whooo, food is SO expensive, right?!" and I'm like, "man....if you only knew..."

Brilliant way to dispel the myth that it’s too expensive to eat healthy. For variety, lentils, which are just as inexpensive as beans, could be swapped out for one of those bags of beans. Also, if you can shop for two weeks, buying larger quantities can sometimes save some money. Butternut squash and other vegetables in season are more economical. After cooking, they can be frozen for another meal. Great point about the high nutrition content in frozen vegetables…this is something most ppl don’t realize.

You wanna know what foods keep me slim? Brown rice and beans, sweet potatoes and white potatoes, fruits and veggies. [For contrast, refined grains like whole wheat bread and pasta keep my weight steady, or VERY slowly increase it.] It's when I really start SLAMMING the brown rice, the excess bodyfat I have just melts off of me. The more brown rice I can manage to eat, the slimmer I get. It's unbelievable, really;) I've been eating 3,800 calories per day for three months, almost entirely brown rice and beans, no added fats, and I've lost 10 pounds. Back in 2020 I weighed 200 lbs, but now I'm all the way down to 162. 6'2" (yes I lost more weight recently, if you noticed that number had changed) male, in case you want to know. What foods made me overweight in 2020? Peanut butter specifically. I had gotten into the nightly habit of medicating my stress away with a pound of (100% absolutely ONLY peanuts) peanut butter; I gained 30 pounds in 2 months!!! But, when I quit the PB, my weight almost immediately dropped (in just a couple weeks) to 180 or so, and then I lost about a quarter pound per week, 13 pounds per year, until today I'm faced with the problem of how to STOP slimming down. A couple days ago, I REALLY buckled down and tried to eat 5,000 calories a day of beans and rice....well....that actually made me lose more belly fat. I'm just about down to a tight washboard stomach. So....heavier foods like chickpeas are gonna have to come into my diet, or else I'm gonna look like a Kenyan marathon runner pretty soon (not that there's anything wrong with that;) I made this comment after seeing a weight loss supplement ad, and I needed to vent. You probably guessed; I'm not big on supplements at all. The only one I take is B12. But I'm telling you, a diet high in intact grains such as brown rice, beans you cook at home, and free of all added fat, is the most slimming diet on the planet. In fact, I've grown a bit TOO slim, and I'm having to figure out how I can stop it. I might actually need to start supplementing my beans with olive oil, lol. Well, I hope you got something out of my bloggy comment. If you ever want to pick my brain, comment back. I'm also a dietitian;)

No surprise there. I was 68 kgs at my heaviest as paleo eater. Male, 170 cm. I went WFPBSOS 2 years ago because of high blood pressure. My staples are pulses (lentils, beans, chickpeas), grains (brown rice, buckwheat (pseudo grain), oats). I add some fruit, vegetables, root (potatoes, carrots), mushrooms, flaxseed, a brazil nut. My weight went down to 58-59 in 2 weeks. It is a 15% weight loss. That is a BMI of slightly above 20. I worry sometimes that is too low weight. The easiest way to gain a bit is toasted whole wheat bread but is too processed for me with too much salt. Of course nuts too but it is too much fat. All my pants are like 2 sizes too big. But I cannot imagine eating 3800 calories. My intake is slightly below 2000, office job so not much calory expenditure. I have no problem eating simple food and a instant pot device is a massive help, indispensable. I do not add salt too, I just lost the need for it for taste purposes.

Where I live, I can buy a half kilo of dry cannelloni beans, a half kilo of black rice, a kilo of onions, a kilo of carrots, a kilo of frozen peas, and two cans of whole corn for less than €10… and with spices on hand, that would provide a daily meal and snack for a week. Generally I also buy a jar of spaghetti sauce and a jar of pesto, but that would only add another €3. The dry beans and rice varieties can change and are sometimes replaced with grains such as farro or barley. Occasionally I make big pots of chili and big bowls of chopped salad or Cole slaw with vinaigrette that are also inexpensive. Eating plant based is much cheaper than meat and cheese. I should add that I eat a lot of artisan bakery bread and snacks, and seasonal fruit from street markets, but those do not add much expense.

I agree-it's getting harder to justify these days but I can't stand the idea of the benefits of the plants diminished by glyphosate especially on potatoes, rice along with spraying of wheat/legumes and beans to dry them faster (desiccant). Jeffrey Smith has great documentaries on this. Menu planning and cooking from scratch helps reduce weekly costs. Lots of DIY recipes for basics to build meals on now. Overall it's very frustrating because I feel like these poisons accumulate regardless of how little is argued to be on them, but cost wise not sure how much longer this can be sustained financially, or may even be available and for a lot of people it's cost prohibitive.

I have made almond butter (roasted almonds 10-20 minutes in a food processor) on occasion which is very tasty but time consuming to make.

Very good video, however there are some issues. First, no reason to promote peanut butter with palm oil and sweeteners added. Bad for health and the environment. More importantly, will the shopping basket provide for Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen? It seems short on fruit and veggies. This needs to be tied to the 21 meals it should produce to be more convincing. A follow-up with photos of the meals would be nice.

Good video, however, it's not current. A loaf of bread these days is over $5 here in TN. Many great frugal vegan shopping tips but the prices are not as of June 2022.

I have eosinophilic esophagitus and need to be grain-free, gluten-free, soy, nut, and dairy-free. Is it possible to still do this Vegan lifestyle?

Another fantastic episode Chuck Carroll showing it's possible to be vegan Wfpb on a budget. I have a few budget vegan cookbooks one has vegan meals for a £1.00.

my store yesterday wanted me to pay for $14 for a medium box of vegan scallops. Wow. Luckily they had sales - so I was able to get vegan shrimp for $2.50, but seriously - the grocery stores are losing a lot of money, so they have to bring in foods with higher profit margins to survive. It's getting closer to buying online being the better option these days.

Aren't non-organic chickpeas, tomatoes, corn, spinach, wheat, soy, potatoes, cabbage, leafy greens, carrots and oats full of pesticides?

Good video! I have seen the Arnold 100%whole wheat bread but in my store it has honey. So I get either Ezekiel bread or Dave’s killer bread

Looks more like about 3-4 days for healthy, active, adult plant eaters. Peanut butter is loaded with fat. The industrial peanut butter is very unhealthy.

You can put 1/4 cup of popcorn in a plan paper bag (lunch sack) in the microwave for about a minute and a half or 2 minutes (fold the top of bag down 2 or 3x to stay closed) and there you have plain popcorn. No salt, butter, oil or sugar! 😋

She’s added stuff to the cart that I doubt she’d eat… Skippy peanut butter?!? C’mon… isn’t she a nutritionist? Even for that budget! You could literally just skip it, and add an extra vegetable or fruit with the remaining money. Great video otherwise. And very timely.

Not everyone has the budget or access to better peanut butter. Peanut butter more protein than fruit or veg. Also convenient when you don't want to or unable to cook. And can be kept in room temperature.

Some poor choices. PB with sugar and palm oil, Quaker oats have glyphosate, popcorn is probably GMO, etc. She sounded uninformed. Health comes before inexpensive at times. She's a Dietician not a Nutritionist. There is a difference.

In the US it's "nutritionists" that are fly by night and "Registered Dietitians" that are legitimate.

They wanted to keep it simple. For 95% of population, that basket would be much healthier than what they currently get. I'm sure she "knows" for glyphosate concerns, she mentioned the PB issues. Popcorn is not GMO, because they can't do it so far.

Fun video, did anyone else notice he doesn't smile as much when he is out in 'nature' compared to when he is in his podcast room where we always see him? :P hehehe
