I like that you mentioned other channels that might help as well. š
the last few tips about cooking and recipes were so useful for me! Thank you so much!!
If you go to the local market, go about half an hour before it closes. Often, sellers will cut down on their prices so they don't end up with so much waste!
1. Shop online/donāt eat when hungry
2. Buy frozen food
3. Buy in season produce
4. Go for the food on sale (get to market early in Morning)
5. Donāt buy vegan alternatives just buy produce or grains
6. Buy in bulk in nonperishables
7. Buy local bc they usually have smaller packaging
8. Buy generic brand
9. Buy at ethnic markets
10. Buy things buy (they usually taste better too)
11. Freeze leftover fruit and veggies (unpeel them and freeze)
12. Donāt eat out
13. Stay hydrated to keep you full and plus itās free
14. Plan your meals
15. Have leftovers for lunch
16. Batch cook
17. Use simple ingredient list
18. Get creative and use fridge recipes
No 22. Use a pressure cooker — cooks things fast, saves time and electricity/gas and preserves nutrients better
Some of use donāt get a choice in buying āFree Fromā products. Both my wife and I are Coeliacs and have to use these products.
Vegan food has the cheapest cost at the highest quality, and all that food is completely unsubsidized. Meat is expensive. I donāt know how anybody affords meat.
Ok Iām gonna take my fat butt to the store and try to do this on my little budget.
You shouldnāt eat pasta everyday , you should eat it every4 days as it takes 3 days average for your body to digest , eating it regularly will make you constipated
Nice!
My How to Live Vegan Book arrived today and my BOSH Healthy Vegan Book arrived yesterday š great video Guys!
Glass storage containers (anchor hocking) are way better than tupperware. No leaching or staining of plastic. I try to not use anything packaged in plastic or cans.
Love you guys!
Go on!
Peace

How do you unpeeled a banana?
Vegan for 13 years and going strong! Cheers, matesšš»šš
Not sure why you would need multivitamins if like you say, you can get everything you need from the veggies, grains, pasta etc. Kind of sends out a mixed message?
Also, buying things in bulk is a great idea, but if you are living on a budget chances are you are living in a very small space like in a house share….So not necessarily that practical š
Thanks for the tips! I end up spending a lot of money on vegan meats as my husband is transitioning to a more plant based way of eating and misses all the meat that he used to eat. We do need to be more creative and you guys are definitely inspiring! ā¤ļøKathy
Have your soil checked for heavy metals before you eat from your garden. š
I sell multivitamins for a living and most multivitamins do more harm than good… Don't buy multivitamins, just b12
1:32 banara? Wtf
I soak beans and chickpeas overnight and cook the following morning and then freeze in suitable quantities. When Iām doing chickpeas, I soak throughout the day and cook overnight in my slow cooker. Theyāre done by breakfast and then I freeze. Sometimes I save the cooking liquid as well as thatās aquafaba in ice cube trays.
Can I find your new book in stores in Australia?
Love this video! I'm very cheap, so I've always known that a vegan diet was perfect for me! We always need to think about nutrition no matter what we eat – vegan, meat or otherwise; the same goes for supplements. Anyway, the video was full of excellent tips! Thank you š
So much more affordable and so much better for you! 100% – love shopping for what's in season the most for even more savings.
I think that vegan food can be expensive if you couldnāt cook at your place and you live in a country where carnism is a normal, cultural thing.
I live in a dorm where cooking is not allowed so itās hardest for me :(((
I feel like the "vegan food is expensive" comes from all the mock meats/cheeses/chocolate/ice cream and other convenience vegan food which is definitely super expensive, but the basics of a vegan diet (rice, beans, chickpeas, season veg and everything else mentioned in this video) isn't inherently more expensive than a meat eating diet.
Where veganism does become more challenging is for those without the knowledge, facilities, time or energy to spend time cooking or prepping cheap vegan food (ie those who are chronically ill, disabled or living in poverty, just for example) – but often those who use those arguments against veganism are nearly always not affected by any of those things. It's like they have this mentally of "well some people can't do it, so I'm not even going to try!" There are still vegans out there who manage to be vegan even though they live with some of those things (hi, it me, I'm chronically ill, low income and i have to eat a low fodmap diet) and it's very frustrating when some of my ailments are used as a reason for not being vegan when I'm here, managing to do it despite some of the barriers.
My shopping bills went down when I went vegan! Plus I save a lot of money on takeaways and stuff, too. I'd guesstimate I spend around Ā£100 per month less on food now, and I eat a lot healthier too! To be fair, I do cook most of my meals from scratch, but I work from home and so I can do that š
My local market is often more expensive than my local co-op for veg. š²
Also, the phrases āfor cheapā and āfor freeā are grammatically incorrect; you can drop the word āforā.
I am probably twice your age guys. We learned this stuff in school in a subject called "home economics" and therefore I have always done the things you are suggesting – it is great you are getting this message across to younger people. I fear there is a whole generation who don't know this type of thing as "common sense".
Now I really want to hear what you said in response to that panaler comment.
I like your videos very much, you are great!
Bravo! ššš±šš
Vegan food is a privilege?! Justifying taking the life of another living being for your meal is a larger "privilege". Mowing down forest to grow food to feed your "food" animals is beyond privileged. Unfortunate you had to deal with a panel of apparent idiots. Rice and beans are pretty standard "peasant" food and the basis of a decent healthy vegan meal. If you want to buy pre-packaged foods doesn't matter whether it's vegan or not they aren't good value.
Fruit juice bad for your health? I disagree… š±
Very good tips, Gents. Yes, we enjoy your channel as well as the Happy Pearās! š
Kombucha is where it's at. Fizzy, Fruity, SO GOOD.
Soooo true!!! We pay less then we did before we went vegan. š

Go Bosh š
Sometimes fresh produce is actually more pricey, & all that pre-packaged āvegan TMā food is typically way overpriced for me & my fixed-income budget. I typically (bc I gotta) avoid all that gimmicky āvegan-TMā stuffāexperience has taught me that those foods WILL break a tight budgetāSo I ā¤ļø that youāre offering these tips! Iāve gotten āreally good at āsuper-low-budget-vegan poverty eating!ā
Thanks be to my InstantPot, I know now that canned beans will never-ever taste better than beans that were cooked from dry. Thank you, InstantPot, right??!! :))) My first stop for groceries in the USA is my local Dollar Tree storeāIāve found so, so much fantastic food there; they have frozen veg, frozen berriesātoday I even found vegan burger patties. Iāve never tried them before, but hereās to hoping they taste good, at least! I was so excited to find those! I also got tons of different beans (dry &&& canned), as well as lentil soups, Himalayan pink salt…marinades for tofu or other beans, tempeh…anything you can imagine! (& Iāll hit up my regular grocery storeāesp the produce section (!!!!) tomorrow. Iām way more excited about that than is likely typical. Heh.
I guess Iāve learned in my (very few) months as a committed vegan, that everything is possible on any budget. Itās just really all about your ingenuity/problem-solving skills & abilities to plan ahead for like a week. Iām such a creature of habit & routineābut my vegan lifestyle just began w such tiny & incredibly simple steps. I donāt handle change very well, but going vegan was personally just the next logical step among so many that I guess eventually create a lifelong commitment to vegan eating & living.
SoāOk, Iāll cook-cook a few times during a monthāI love those days bc I really enjoy honing all my knife skills, for example. Iām really into all that kitchen minutiaeāmy favorite moments are those when I get home from the market & have the time to just focus on the āchopping days.ā Those days that I spend in my kitchen are my favorite days, tbh!
From there, all my typical daily meals (LOTS of lentils!!) are prepped early & either frozen or just thrown into the fridge. I love that I can create a fantastic vegan meal from a fridge-raid & other random bits from my pantry! Anyway, I guess Iām just really grateful & stoked on my vegan journey right now. Had a. Bit of a bumpy road for a couple of weeks, but here we areāfour months & no animal flesh or byproduct consumed. (Yay!)
I lime this channel bc BOSH! really knows how to make vegan fun. I needed this video today. Thx!!
I really appreciate this kind of content, so thank you! Really well thought out and original tips, great editing, chill and quiet background music and amazing vibes all-round. Thanks a ton!!!
The water from my tap is toxic, but I'll do everything elseš great videoš
You're doing very well guys! šš Nice video with useful tips for new vegans, and nice you mentioned other fab youtubers š Keep it up šŖš
Long time vegan here, but still loved hearing all this info! Your recipes are amazing!
When you flashed that package of nearly expired veggies, I immediately thought of a veggie stew with tamari and cocoa and mushrooms. Cheap Cheap cheap.
Brilliant lads šŖš»
Great Video. You guys are Awesome. Thanks again for the Info.
