For this meal plan, I picked up about $20 in groceries and made several breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. I designed this specific plan for a single person to eat for at least 7 days. These recipes also work for families and couples alike!

As I watch these low budget weekly meals, again it’s so important to stress that in order to save money, you must build a pantry. You don’t have to do it all at once but every week you should be getting a pantry staple item or two. It will save you so much in the long run

@LauraLegge 24 күн бұрын

That’s so true! I completely agree with you! I want to do a pantry staple video soon. I’ll definitely have to mention that. Thank you so much for sharing!

@rebeccahherdener2068 16 күн бұрын

Facts! If it weren't for my pantry(which has taken me a year to start rebuilding after a sudden move), I'd be spending WAY more than I thought I would! I used a bit of my family's tax refund this year to fund the pantry. Otherwise I'd be out of luck.

Thank you for giving me hope again! I just recently found your videos. It feels like i can actually eat healthier on a budget. Living in vegas with our prices, at about a .20-.75 more per item (even though it doesn't seem like alot it adds up) makes it hard to even think about fresh veggies and fruit when you have to eat for the whole 2 weeks. I've made one meal from here, and it's so good and super easy to make. Again, thank you!

You can blend or fine chop banana peel and bake with it. Cut off and put the hard ends in the compost. 1 peel = 1 banana equivalent in recipes. .... Check the bear "honey"- chances are it's full off added glucose syrup or similar. It's basically cheap because it's "watered down" honey.

Cabbage steaks are so good!! I also love cabbage patties. Just make them like you do for salmon or tuna patties. Zucchini patties are a favorite too!!

Watching the process of making peanut butter had me pause the video and go look at small food processors. I will be buying one next payday along with some peanuts and start making my own. Thanks so much for all the great recipes and ideas. New sub and enjoying watching your videos.

I really liked that you took us on your shopping trip with you.❤ (To be edited after i watch the rest of the vid) Edit: when making pb samiches, add sliced banana AND honey to it. YUM!❤ ALSO, I can tell im gonna have to tweak a LOT of these recipes, but they sound good! 1. Im gonna use REAL bacon. 2. Im gonna use chicken instead of tofu. 3. Im gonna use real eggs for the breakfast scramble.❤ Ive never seen himemade pb before, it was a bit more lose than i expected it to be. Im used to the store bought jars that are more "firm". Pretty neat!❤

Thank you for sharing! Everything looks so yummy! Question: did you add water for peanut butter? I couldn’t tell in video. Loved that you made your own!

@LauraLegge Ай бұрын

Thank you! No water - I just blended the peanuts until they were nice and smooth. It takes about 8-10 minutes of blending for the oils to release and for everything to emulsify

@joescibelli1308 Ай бұрын

Awesome video. Love the healthy take on budget meals. I would recommend liquid smoke for the banana peel bacon and black salt for the tofu scramble :)

@LauraLegge Ай бұрын

Thank you so much!! ☺️ I’ll give that a try! I’ve never had black salt so I’ll have to pick some up and give it a go! What all do you recommend I use it for?

@joescibelli1308 Ай бұрын

@@LauraLeggeit has a nice sulfuric smell and taste that mimics eggs. So a lot of vegan recipes use it to include egg flavor. I’ve seen it in vegan fried rice, vegan deviled eggs, and tofu scramble. My favorite was in the tofu scramble though

Great video, loved the tofu tips for cooking it crispy. I have started making my peanut butter since even the various brands of natural peanut butter have the peanut oil taken out and soybean oil added which is awful. Again, loved your cheap ideas, thanks.

@LauraLegge Ай бұрын

Thank you so much!! Yes! I don’t think I’ll ever buy premade peanut butter again if I can help it. It’s just so easy and delicious!
