Who else isn’t vegan but still watches every videos?

The guy in the back when you were discussing peaches hahahaha

The only thing I don't like about your content is how much you feel you have to justify yourself. You're doing a better job at living sustainably than 99% of the population, but you're still so worried people will come at you in the comments. These videos are amazing, stop worrying!

I work at Lidl Germany and it’s so weird to see that everything looks the same but also not?! :D

Lidl' s in Spain have reduced so much their plastic use and they have compostable bags for produce, it is so lovely

I work at ALDI in germany and we charge one cent a vegetable bag. Since we do it that way, people suddenly don‘t need them anymore 🤷🏽‍♀️

I really loves these types of videos, they're so great. About the lettuce: it's not all about nutrition, it's about what you like too. If you love the food you eat you'll be automatically happier even if it's not always the most nutritious option. Your diet is so healthy anyways. I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll cook from you're shopping.

"Could do with more car mats" - the most Lidl phrase ever. Love it!

If you take the white parts of the green onion and put in a glass of water it will just keep growing the green part. Don’t remember the last time I had to but green onion. It grows so fast that sometimes I can’t keep up with it so I just snip off the green part and freeze for soups etc.

YES YES YES to getting educated about the balance between food waste and using plastic. Plastic is not always just flat out bad. But of course it's great to cut back where you can :)

Whether you are Vegan or a Minimalist or on a budget, your videos are amazingly helpful!! Thanks for taking the time to be realistic about the challenges of eating healthy, being mindful of waste, and being on a budget. It’s not always possible to be “perfect” and I think we just need to cut ourselves some slack and do our best. Otherwise we wallow in a sea of forever trying to be socially responsible about every bloody thing in life and forget to just enjoy life. Thanks for the videos! Cheers

Can you do a realistic food shopping video? What you guys normally spend on food a week, not just a budget video. It'd be nice to so that too.

I love how logical and reasonable your approach is to sustainability. It’s much easier to follow in the long run versus being really strict and missing out nutritionally etc

I’m so nervous to say it but I’m vegan since 4 weeks now and I never feel better then now!!!! Love your videos! ❤️

I wish food prices were that cheap in the U.S. It would have cost 3 to 4 times as much to buy the same items here, especially the fresh produce. Definitely contributes to the obesity epidemic that is currently going on here.

Im happy to tell u i am vegan now for 3 weeks now. I thought it would be hard but it isn't. Can u make a video on easy on the go, eat in the car foods. I drive back and forth a lot and need something i can just grab and go that will fill me up

Lidl do a wholewheat pasta (fusilli) that’s really high in protein (13g per 100g compared to the typical 6-7g per 100g) and is only 39p for a 500g bag 👏🏻

I have been semi vegan for almost a month now, and it feels great! I was inspired by your £15 budget shopping videos to try to spend less on my groceries and I’ve successfully cut it down from £25 weekly to £15 weekly! (By semi vegan I mean I’ve tried my best but there have been a few misses 😂)

thank you for mentioning disability and the need for things which are easier to cook or prepare. It's often so overlooked both in vegan and health food conversations.

I love how your vegan lifestyle is so realistic and very adaptable to what I already know about cooking without getting too weird. I've tried a couple of your recipes and they are really great, so thank you!

The people that put ONE onion in a plastic produce bag!!! I've never felt more understood!

The elderly gentleman at 8:04 lol.

Our Lidl has reusable mesh bags with the weight of the bag clearly marked for about 40p and loose fruit and veg, though most are still wrapped, but its a start

You went back to Lidl and checked all the prices?! 😭 we appreciate the dedication ❤️

Here in Québec it would cost around 50$ (45€) for all that food! 😱 You are lucky!

@10:10 I think it's a good idea to put the plant-based meat alternatives with the meat because you pick it up out of curiousity. For example, I wanted bacon bits one time and I saw these soy(?) alternative ones and I bought them to try it.

The dark chocolate alpro dessert is delicious! Best out of all of them. Slice up some strawberries and pour or over or warm it up and dip some apple slices in yum!

I love these videos! My mother-in-law brought us a ton of veggies (carrots, potatoes, onion) and she said we could probably make a stew or something. But when I started making macaroni and cheese out of potatoes and carrots, she was very surprised 😊 Thank you got the budget inspiration. My son has a short-gut and benefits greatly from simple vegan recipes like yours 🥰

Really appreciate the comment about the nuances of trying to cut out plastic waste. It's great that people want to cut down but so often they ignore things like cost for people on a low income, presliced packs for people with disabilities (see also the debacle over 'banning' plastic straws) and the carbon emissions of transporting things in heavier, nonplastic packaging. Obv it's impossible to find one solution that works for everyone, so great to see people talking about how peoples different circumstances affect what they have buy

Hope a “what I eat in a week” video will follow this!!! Love these videos! Btw you and Alex are so funny together

Also an aside: iceberg has a great deal of dietary hydration (important in my part of southern USA) plus roughage and a respectable amount of Vit K, A, and folate. Maybe not the best but definitely not a zero. But geez, I shop at Lidl and your prices are much better (even accounting for exchange) and ours has a lot of china sourced items.... good video.

I remember you speaking a little about your back garden, were you still considering a vegetable patch? If so, that would be a nice thing to get your take on; especially if you discussed how if affects your grocery budget.

One of the BEST Points U made is: "Learn how to cook" (as a Vegam). I save Soooooo much money and also have more of those "This is the Best thing I've ever eaten " moments. 🌿💚

As a student I usually buy loose, out of packaging food because realistically I won’t eat 20 potato’s in a month. Also it is cheaper in some areas such as carrots. Lidl is really good and the quality is actually really surprising.

I feel so sad. Being an American looking at these prices... our healthy food is soooo expensive. Bread for only 75p? Wow! The good bread at our grocery stores is $4.99 for a loaf. If I bought all of that food at even an American Aldi, it would be at least $60.

I spend more on 1 takeaway then you do for a weekly shop😂😭 maybe me seeing this video is a wake up call

I'm glad you said what you said about plastic packaging. A lot of food is plastic wrapped because it significantly improves the shelf life which is why sometimes plastic wrapped is actually cheaper, because it can stay in the supply chain longer. However, the food industry is definitely aware of and looking at alternatives!

I really like that kind of videos on your channel. It's weird because in France, Lidl is seen as the worst kind of supermarket, or "supermarket for the poor and weird people". We don't have all the veggies you got and the vegan burgers, the alpro products, etc... It's annoying because when we come in England or in Scotland, we buy all our food in Lidl...

The 49p Baresa pasta sauce is beautiful, one of the best sauces I've had - especially the garlic one.

I reuse the plastic for storing fruit and veg in the freezer. Also I reuse packaging for school lunchbox sandwiches, popcorn, crackers, anything. I have fun putting apple slices in sunflower seed packaging etc. I reuse clingwrap forcovering fruit bowls and foil packaging for backing etc. I use plastic food containers for compartmentalizing jewellery, bathroom drawers, junk drawers, everything. You can literally give your packaging at least a second life.

every one of your videos brings value, positive energy and is so uplifting!!! you are just one of my favourite people. you inspire me as a small youtuber😘😘

Hi Madeleine, I'm fairly new to your channel but you've inspired me so much! I've been preparing my own meals this year every day so far and have become more conscious about my shopping habits (which is helping the environment and my wallet!!). I love the budget shopping/cooking videos - really useful for me as a grad student :)Thank you so much! x

Yes!! I've been missing this videos :) basically because going to the supermarket is therapeutic to me haha and you are buying vegan food... my dream video 😍

When you went through the wrong door in the beginning 😂 #relatable

It’s so refreshing to see someone actually being mindful of the way things are packaged!!! It’s too bad when the cheap option is overflowed with plastic. I think you can let the store know but with Lidl I’m not sure if they have the resources to make those changes :( bUT I really appreciate you for bringing it to light as well as showing how easy and budget friendly it can be to be a still nutritionous vegan! ♡

I could watch this every week, they’re my favourite videos ✌🏻

So glad to finally see a Lidl video. Now I can actually go and try to get the same stuff.

Thank you SO MUCH for this! I'm from Serbia and often I can't find stuff mentioned in the videos because 1) we really don't have those grocery stores and 2) we have a lack of healthy foods. We recently got Lidl all over the country so now, thanks to you, I can make the exact same recipes as you do! Thank you again ❤❤

I really like the fun and wholesome mindset you spread about food! :)

Both Aldi & Lidl are doing reusable veg/fruit bags. I have several & they’re a great way of reducing your plastic packaging.

I'm amazed how much you got for so little money. I'm not veggie or vegan but I do try to minimise what meat I eat but I found I can't eat soya which restricts me

I've been really depressed lately and this video really helped make my day. Thank you.

As a student I love your weekly groceries videos, it helps me with nice ideas and advices ! Thank you xx

I always get so inspired by these videos, thank you for putting the time in to do it!

8:23 he said "bigger lidls" and I lol'd

I bought the vegan ebook bundle & I was so excited to see your books in there. There’s sooooo many recipes.

These videos are so enjoyable, I love supermarkets and watching people shop and I'm not even sure why 😅

I would love to see a week’s meal plan followed by a shop! Xx

I'm so so happy you did this! Commented requesting this video a month or so ago and so happy you did it! Thank u so much 🙂

Poundland can also be a great place to get cheap staples and bits that must be packaged if you're a student or on a budget!

Just what I needed😍 Love these videos!!! They're very inspiring on proving how far a little amount of money can go!!!! You're both brilliant💋

Love the gauze (mesh) bags you buy now, 5 in a pack often, to bring to the produce section for the veg.

great video Maddie!! I can't wait to see the 2nd video to see how you're going to put together all these ingredients!

Love the video. I'd love to see more vegan lunch ideas. I bring lunch to work and soup is getting a bit boring😂

I have been wanting both of your ebooks for a while but have been waiting for the right time to buy. I got both of yours and all the others for $73 Australian dollars. Really happy with my purchase.

You could save quite a bit of money on herbs and some veggies like kale and lettuce by growing them on a window sill, patio or garden if you have it

*Excellent* one handed catch of the burgers! Looking forward to part 2, love these videos 🙂

Madeleine: going over the food Alex: I FOUND IT!! lol he's so funny

Used your link you buy the vegan bundle and I LOVE IT! Such a good deal and a great variety of ebooks!

I love that you look at the reality of being a student. Although I am concerned about plastic Aldi and Lidl are the most affordable for whole foods and I try to get loose items if the cost is not that much higher while sticking within my tight budget

Love these videos!! Would be so happy if you could do food shop on a budget videos more often 🥰

i really love your grocery on a budget videos!!!

Grabbed the bundle earlier 🌱 Love these videos! ❤️

I have just purchased the bundle! I'm vegetarian at the moment and have been thinking about trying vegan for a while. I was concerned about how to do it in a healthy way and with these ebooks I will definitely be giving it a go! Thank you for your videos, they have inspired me and I think your great!

Definitely plastic packaging has its uses to avoid food waste in transit but also in the consumer’s home. Thanks for highlighting this!! :)

Not sure if you know this but lidl and aldi both sell bags of frozen peppers and mushrooms which are super cheap and brilliant for putting in cooked things like chilli or soup but are no good for salads, i do however pop them in things like a lentil salad if your using like you would coleslaw, say with other cut up veggies and a dressing, like a side you would add to a poke bowl, hope you understand what I'm trying to say, i'm not explaining this very well but they are great for a budget shop to add to stew's, tagine's etc. Just a thought, xx

Great video! Thank you for always being realistic and kind💕

I'm from Italy and Lidl is a supermarket that we have as well! Love this! 😍 I have to say that the Lidl in my area uses less plastic in the produce aisle, maybe because Italy isn't a food desert at all. Most of the time the food comes packaged in plastic to prevent the waste of the food itself. I think that we have to keep in mind the plastic/food waste trade-off.

I got your cook book last year and it’s my favorite! 😍 totally worth it

I love your budget videos ❤️ they make veganism accessible and differ from many other youtubers’ privileged mindsets.

OMG!!! The only video I was waiting for!!! Thank you guys, you are the best✌🏼

Awesome as always, I love watching your food hauls, keep em coming 😊👍🏻

Newly subscribed and literally LOVING this shop....well done great vlog

Great start Maddie! No bags and an inability to enter a supermarket 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thankyou🙏 I really needed a laugh this morning xx

It's so strange, how the stores differ around the world. In Vienna (Austria) where I live, LIDL is one of the Supermarkets with the most plastic-less produce. When I realized this, I started ging there more often. The organic stuff is a good price as well, at least here in Vienna.

My goal for 2020 is to go vegetarian for one month and slowly got vegetarian/vegan, so this a good example for ideas a stuff. I live in US and most this stuff cost a lot more probably between $35-55 depending on the season.

loved this - especially what you said about nuances - a good reminder :) !!

Love these videos! I have been vegan for over a year but it's great to know about other places I can shop on a budget as a student :)

I just bought and downloaded all of the eBooks. I am so excited!!

Today is my anniversary! I am vegan for exactly a year now ☺️ It is the best decision I have ever made. Totally love it ❣️

YAYYY I love these videos as a student on a budget!!! Thanks for making these :D

MY FAVORITE TYPE OF VIDEO 😍❤️

Literally tinned and frozen fruit and veg are my life! You can also sometimes get veg mixes geared towards certain things, like a frozen stir fry veg mix or chargrilled frozen veg (my favourite). I also buy fruit and veg on clearance for very low prices and freeze them, prepping beforehand when I feel like it so it's ready to just use straight from the freezer. Indeed things like grapes and blueberries are delicious to snack on when they're frozen!

Love these kinda vlogs sooooo much!

Love your videos! Never left a comment before, but I've been a subscriber for years :). After two years in the workfield I am now studying again, living off my savings and I really had to change some things in order to do everything financially. One thing I do now is I don't shop for vegetables in the supermarket anymore, but I go to Turkish supermarkets. Extra plus is that they don't plastic-wrap anything, so also less waste. I have to cycle to a different part of the city and actually make an effort but it really pays of, financially and it just feels better :).

I've recently started buying the Just free dairy-free milk (almond, oats) from LIDL and I realized how good they are! It's organic products from Italy and compared to Alpro they have more flavour

I love LIDL! Thanks for share your groceries. 😁 Love from Portugal 😘🇵🇹

Have seen less than a minute but must comment already: love that you have a vault dweller in the front window of your car 😁 I have loved Fallout for years 👍

8:34 Salty porridge. Yes, absolutely, yes! 👍
