Hi friends! 🌞 So excited to share this $30 budget what i eat in a week video! I wanted to show you a full grocery haul on everything i got and show you all the recipes I made with those ingredients! These meals are simple and easy to throw together but still nourishing and delicious!
My heart goes out to everyone struggling with money and to put food on the table. Remember there is no shame in not being able to afford food, the world is a difficult place. However there are food banks, soup kitchens and other resources available that can help you!
As always I’m sending you all so much love!💛✨💛
*Note: I forgot to mention I had over half a pack of pasta left and 3/4 a bag of oats!

your creativity is so inspiring!
I really love this video! I live in Canada, may I know which grocery store did you go? I want those discounted avocado and vegan yogurt too!! They are so expensive at the store I usually went!
You are so cute. Loved this video!
Veggie bouquet… Love it!!!!
It's pronounced "no-key" not "knee-okie"
When u zoomed in on the pasta drip on the table. I lost it. This is great and inspiring
Where did you get those cheap avocados?! They’re so expensive where I live
This video proves Vancouver Island is the most expensive place to buy groceries. No way would we get that much for so little.
Another way to make guacamole is to use salsa. I would highly recommend it.
lol the intro lol
How does your guacamole stay so fresh? After 1 day mine is so disgusting and brown…
This od great video! However I'm afraid that these meals lack protein (You Had a problem to get full, and that's probably a reason why)
A whole bag of avocado for $2???
I am a vegan neophyte trying to cook on a budget and this gives me inspiration! Still trying to learn how to cook and eat tofu as my first attempt was NOT successful. Very open to learning more. Also, I have to admit that the kale bouquet and cute puppy dog checking things out puts it over the top. New subscriber here!
Your sweet potato "thingamabob" reminds me of the sweet potato paratha my grandma makes.The method followed is very similar. You might want to check out paratha recipes — potato (aloo) paratha is super popular here in India, and it's budget friendly too. 🙂 There are a lot of different "flavours" you can choose from for the parathas, and if you skip the butter/ghee and use oil instead, it becomes vegan. My personal favourite is mixed veg paratha — you use up all the leftover veggies in the fridge to make it, and it always tastes great!
I had a time where I only had £10 for a week shop. This food was for my little man and one more. I had to buy the cheapest brand. I can still remember the cereal taste like cardboard. I was sad that my son had to eat this but grateful we had food
That is soooooo many avocados for $2 😳😳😳. They cost almost $2 a piece where I live.
1 capsicum, there's your $30 budget blown.
I wish all of this would cost 30$ in my country honestly all this would be 60$ the berries alone would be 7-12$
30$ a week for a one person? It's not cheep at all
It's gnocchi as the second time you said it, at least that's how we prounce it in Italy
So this was a video about how you can't afford to eat well on 34 dollas a week. 🤣
I’m sure this is going to give me some great inspiration but like girl where are you getting a whole bag of avocados for $2 they are like $2 each here.
Oh my god I made the dish at 11:56. It was one of the best meals I've made. Thank you! 👏
$2 for avocado??? I spent like $10 for 5
These recipes are awesome mama and you're a cute little firecracker! But I just don't think theres enough protein here for it to be sustainable for me. I would maybe up my budget to $50 and get more protein here. I'm going to borrow a recipe for sure!
I love how affordable this what I eat is
Sooo glad I stumbled onto this video. I'm genuinely excited to try out some of these recipes! I'd fallen out with cooking because it seemed like too much work, and all the recipes I'd been cooking got kind of boring. Plus I've been ordering out way too often. Everything you made seemed easy and not time consuming, with fresh, easily attainable ingredients. Thank you!
Red bell peppers are 2 for $4.00 around where I live which SUCKS I had to get a green one because it was 89 cents but I love red ones so much more
Noted down some of these meals to try! Where I am in Canada, we spend at least half of the year in the snow and with REALLY expensive produce (like a $3 cucumber or $7 for 2 bell peppers). I lived with some girls from Cali during my degree, and they were HORRIFIED at how much I used frozen/canned veggies, but they had never thought about living in places where tons of fresh veggies weren't always available.
Eating a lot of fresh produce (I personally think) is cheaper than eating meat! At least in the UK anyway, and if not, buying frozen is a great way to get veggies in without spending a fortune! Also I have NEVER seen anyone eat oats with a savoury dinner and that was revolutionary!
Great video! You've given me great ideas! Food is expensive here in America too.
1st time I have seen a savory oats dish.
I appreciate the idea here, but honestly in practice, the budget you presented and then the meals you created weren't exactly proof of concept. Especially with the admission that you weren't feeling full or fueled, even with using produce from previous trips and not including spices and condiments.
I can’t eat onions. 😕
Very cool, you taught me a few things!
Thanks for showing the possibilities! Wouldn't have been enough food, esp. not enough protein for me :'D
Would have maybe not bought as many limes and got a bag of rice or flour instead. Way more sustenance for the same amount of money.
I wish the fresh produce was as cheap where I live (Quebec, Canada)! The same vegetables and fruits, even bought in the cheapest asian groceries, will cost about 50-60, so double. You're very lucky to spend so little on your food and yet eat so well! Loved your recipes, will try them 🙂
Everything looks great!
I never peel my chickpeas.😳
Love this Julia! Will definitely try some of these 🥰
Where did you buy avocados
This video is super inspiring! Thank you so much 💕
Watch the rainbow life (I can't really remember the channel properly) … watch her videos on a budget dishes.. you'd be inspired
The only part of this video that really made me feel bad was when i realized many of the seasonings aren’t realistic for those who are on a tight budget- seasoning is often so expensive
I don't know if I missed it at the beginning where she was showing us what she bought, but I didn't see a lot of fruits, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, etc. I understand it's a $30 budget, but those things are quite needed for vegans especially athletes and dancers.
Maple syrup is indeed so expensive! I have been using natural date syrup. It is really sweet and it way cheaper then maple:)
this was so pleasant to watch. love how they're approachable. thank you for sharing!
Where did you find your pink/red cup? 🤩🤩
