I just clicked on this video thinking it was a new one because of your hair color lol
usually the time to order and get food your break is over lol
Bravo..very practical & doable. I hope more ppl listen to u & we stop genocidal slaughter of beautiful animals
Great tips, and I'm totally with you on the lunch prep thing! I also work in London and always bring my own lunch. I just make a habit of cooking food in big batches, then boxing the rest for the next day or freezer. If I bought my lunch every single day, it'd add up to over a thousand pounds a year, not to mention creating a huge amount of extra waste in packaging, bagging, plastic cutlery etc. Plus you're not tempted to buy extra snacks (cookies, crisps etc) as part of a meal deal – much cheaper (and healthier!) to bring in a few pieces of fruit for snacking.
Oh no. Dr McDoogle.
Thank you this made me more aware of what I'm doing, buying mostly per made foods and not the ones I really want the real food. Simple but… I needed the reminder. Thank you again
You are the best! You are so entertaining and quite smart at the same time, and funny as hell!! And…your hair matches the chair in your living quarters. Too cute!
Helpful video, thanks:) I'm trying to cut down on food wastage, if I see something in my fridge that about to get old I cut it up and freeze it, it doesn't work with all you're food though, it's sad how much food we as a society waste!
That first tip is true for no matter how you eat whole foods is almost 100 % of the time
One problem , if you don't put your grains/dry food in an air tight container bugs/mice get into them and you end up wasting money , because no one likes to opening a bag of rice only to find maggots inside.
Hey! Love your channel. Also vegan and post recipes and vegan tips!! Would love for you to check out mine 🙂
I like that you live in Canada but you were unsure of the name of the store brand for Superstore but you seemed very sure of the Tesco brand name. Lol.
Edit: oh I'm reading another comment and it sounds like Tesco is in England. I thought it was in the states.
Great video!
I'm a new subscriber… I really enjoy your videos. Your information has been so helpful. Thank you 😊
Sweet potatoes (preferably organic) are my favorite starchy food but I find them super expensive in NY. Any tips to save money on this staple would be much appreciated. Thanks all!
I have one more tip: look at fruits and nuts as treats as well. You see all these vegan diet gurus making breakfast smoothies of 15 differents kinds of berries and fruits, and eating 5 mangoes in a row, and that's simply freakin' expensive! Fruit should be viewed as a healthier version of candy basically. You shouldn't make up a meal of fruit, just as you shouldn't make up a meal of nakd bars. As a snack, it's okay, but as a meal, expensive!
I'm not really sure why people think meat alternatives are expensive because they're about the same price as the meat counterpart except for a few brands. Especially when you try to eat fully ornagic and non gmo. Grass fed organic meats are more expensive.
I also freeze my nuts, grains & beans for longterm storage.
Lol. I get soooo distracted in the grocery store! Its terrible!
This is such a big help ☺
"President's Choice"
why the name rosatron? my generic internet name is goodtronica and it is interesting to me that your name is also robotic.
my middle name is rose!! hehehe thanks for all these cheap ideas 😀
UNPROCESSED.
awesome video!!!! great pointers for everyone!
Extra advice : NEVER GO TO THE GROCERY STORE WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY !! If necessary, have a snack before going there !!
I love your channel. If you had recipes and hauls daily….I WOULD WATCH!😊😊😊
I have been wanting to dye my hair this color. Which brands do you use? & thanks for this video 😇😍
I'm from Calgary, AB and i'm curious as to where you shop for groceries here? Any tips for a Calgarian vegan? 🙂 xox
I admit , I was a fast food junkie.. and i'm a foodie.. I love food.. but since, I changed my eating habits.. I feel so much better, have more energy, and lost some weight.. it's easy to cook vegan.. I just don't focus on hard fancy, recipes ..I love easy food.. beef and dairy flares up acne and bloats , and hard to digest and flares up arthritis. and I stopped cheese, and other dairy products.. but I still eat fish, i'm trying to get away from that.. I love my carbs..but I say everything in moderation. eating, drinking, life. I try to stay away from freezer processed stuff.. but once in awhile as a treat.. it's good.but I do my own cooking and food shopping. I cook for one. but make extra and freeze the rest as a mini tv dinners , but healthier. I don't use allot of salt or oil. just very little. I let other's salt that they want. thanks for making this video. I started my vegetarian life style. diet is a scary word. I save allot of money on produce and grains .and other goods. I love bulk buying for spices as well.
also meal planning is a great way to stick to a budget and grocery list so you don't go crazy buying a ton of stuff you don't need or will use. ♡
I used expense as an excuse to not go vegan for yeaaarrrssss but I went grocery shopping yesterday and barely spent 140 bucks. I got a ton of food and it will more than likely last me two weeks if not the rest of the month. every thing I bought was completely vegan. I was so proud of myself!!! frozen veggies and canned/dry food are a God send. ♡♡
Lidl is very good for nuts and seeds. And also things like olives and sundried tomatoes. Home Bargains is worth a look round as I've bought things like Chia seeds in there!
I love this list. But the sad thing is: this is how we grew up. Mom always cooked "real food" and that was the standard. Only a few of my friends' parents bought the pre-made crap. Then I went to college…and I stopped eating real food because I only had a microwave and "meal plan," but what's stuck me is how crazy my younger friends are and their household never has real food-they make hamburger helper, buy tyson, and all this other shit that even when I ate meat we never had growing up. We had some of this as a treat every now and then, but really…wow, people eat shit now (and I did, too, again, when I was in college.)
Aldi is great; everything there is pretty much store brand and pretty cheap (I got a big bag of powdered stevia for just 4 bucks; it costs at least 6 bucks to buy the same amount of Truvia). Trader Joe's and Wegmans also have a lot of store brand vegan staples (not to mention they label their vegan products; very convenient).
And yes, everyone, please learn to love starches! Rice, potatoes, oats, and whole grain pasta are great, cheap, and can be used a lot of different ways!
I'm not the biggest fan of meal planning (I never stick to a plan), though I'm the kind of person who's content to eat cereal for dinner every night so that advice is probably not for me.
Great advice all around!
I would make a very usefull Nota Bene to the TIP N*8 : Do shopping with a FULL stomach, just after a meal if you can. You will never be distracted by food and you will be even more focus on your list. Please put me on top with thumbs up so Rose can see that. <3
You know what I mean?
sweet potatoes are not that cheap where I live
These are really good tips!!
Everyone thinks that a vegan diet is so expensive but it's so easy! You just shop around and once you've found a bargain then you can't fail! 🙂
