I'm a Grandma raising two little ones ages 7 and 5 I have full custody , living on retirement but blessed to have a farm , even with fresh eggs and chickens and veggies still budget and this month is school clothes buying, every little bit helps. Thanks so much and hope to see more of these videos.

thank you Bobby and Art for looking out for folks that can't afford to go to Whole Foods, Trader Joes, or have memberships to other big box stores. Your work to put this together really shows a compassionate, and a understanding of the reality of folks who struggle just to have a meal on a daily bases. Sadly it's a struggle....you both are very much appreciated and loved.

Great video, I appreciate the acknowledgement that actually dealing with the reality of a truly limited budget is far more difficult. Thanks for this.

I am not on food stamps, but I am a college student. Eating healthy on a budget is a cool concept.

More of these please!! I really liked the idea of the food stamp budget!! 👍👍

How wonderful of you to do a video like this🥺👏🏾 I grew up on food stamps as a child, and it was very hard at times. Most people will never know what it’s like. When I was a kid it wasn’t debit like cards😏 NO, we had booklets of what looked like paper money, different colors for different denominations!😩 sometimes my mom would send me to shop because she was so embarrassed, there was a terrible stigma around it. Although I still try to keep myself on a budget, I’m so blessed to have what I have now as an adult. But it’s always good to learn how to shop on a budget. Thank you, & keep the videos going.🙌🏾

Yay!! Please do more budget friendly recipes! Even if they are more expensive than the food stamp per day cost, for those of us in the middle class struggling to keep costs down, it would be helpful.

As someone who works in the social services sector, I truly appreciate this video. This is the reality for many people. I’ve shared this with many coworkers. Keep up the great work!,

🧡🧡🧡🧡This needs to be a monthly episode! So helpful. Plus you gave us great meal ideas whether we wanted so save or splurge! Love love love this! From a PA KZfaq Mama!

This FlavCity channel just gets better and better. I love that Art is always given a nod for how much he contributes to the channel. And now this video on how to shop, cook and eat on a food stamp budget, with all the honesty and candor this subject deserves, is really impressive. Bobby and Art, you are the best!

Hi. I'm Emilio (yeah, name already here) from Puerto Rico. I have to say, I use to follow you because I love your recipes. Then, for some reason I degrees and stop watching the videos because I was one of those people who watch and never do. These past months I've been amazed with the new form of content. I'm not only watching, but learning. What you, guys, do with the alternatives and reviews have thought me a lot about how to read labels and eat better. The lives are also great because it's not the same watching some edit cooking recipe and watch it live. Puts me in a mental state of not only see the final result, but the preparation; also the tools and I can see the timing better. I haven't seen any other cooking channel with this will and sincerity. I'm sure there can be a lot, but what you doing: hauls, education, directions, health realities of our world, it's been refreshing and gives me more desires to take action. Thank you.

Thanks for this. Its very easy for some people to look down on others for bring unable to spend loads of cash at Whole Foods... yet the simple reality is that many people would like eat better but don't understand the tips and tricks and are prevented from learning by insensitive comments and stigma of being on a fixed income. This is even more true for seniors and disabled. Thank you for giving this great information. You're taking great care to cover people with a variety of tastes and budgets, and that's another reason you're #1. ❤❤❤❤

I love how you acknowledge how some people do live on a tight food budget. Thank you for these videos please do more!

You're a good man bobby

Compassionate foodies. That's a new one. Responsible members of a diverse community who by your actions and sharing promote healthy eating and caring for others. Deep. Love you guys.

This just proves how much more expensive it is eating healthy. He had to sacrifice price over quality and health and still went over budget. Quality food should be the standard not a splurge!

You and Art make such a great team!! Love it!

PLEASE.PLEASE.PLEASE. Do more of these!! Thank you. Love this

You guys are so thoughtful, kind, competent, and the best healthy eating advocates ever

As someone who is disabled and a SNAP recipient - I shop at Aldi a lot. I'd like to see what you can create from their Chicken Burgers.

Bobby, you're the man, Bruh! This video is so vitally important for so many families and households. 🔥 You're such a blessing ❤

We don't have food stamps in Canada. However I live on an extremely small pension, ~$800. a month Canadian, the equivalent of ~$600. US. Here is my trick to getting by (made even trickier by me being keto). I watch the fliers of my local supermarkets. I look for any great deals on things I commonly use. When something does come on with a great special, I buy at least enough of it to last until it comes back on special, often more just to be safe. In very short order, this gives me both a two to three month supply of virtually everything, 'and', I wind up spending half as much on groceries as virtually everyone else. I should mention that I also have a chest freezer, allowing me to capitalize maximally on specials on meat. (Get one, freezers are not expensive and having one will save enough to pay for itself in just a few months.) What I buy the most tends to be; chicken quarters, which come on sale frequently in my area for 99 cents a pound (Canadian), ground pork for $1.99 a pound, eggs for $1.99 a dozen, cheese for $4.00 a pound. (Food prices tend to be seriously higher in Canada for many things, largely due to our esteemed and most benevolent government's crony collusion with special interests.) Rarely I might get lucky and get pork ribs for $1.99 a pound too, which is a real treat. I also pick up various keto friendly frozen veggies when they are on special. I have over time accumulated a fair stock of things like almond flour and coconut flour and the like (which I keep in my freezer). Butter and olive oil of course are staples. I sweeten with stevia and/or erythritol. All of this was bought in single 'large' bulk format so as to get the maximum volume for price, I 'never' buy anything in a small package. I tend to use a lot of spices, which I buy from a wholesaler who also allows walk-in retail, scooping what I want myself from large vats into bags. Again, I buy large quantities and then package them well.

Your very thoughtful to make this video for people on a tight budget💛

I already loved your content, but Aldi week is making me love you guys even more!! Seriously the best channel on KZfaq! ❤️👍🏻

Bobby and art, I am so proud of both of you! You did due diligence on both the money and the keto‘s. I need both of those and there’s just two of us eating each meal also. So this molded right in to my thought process and I shop at Aldi‘s. My personal change would be a bag of $1.49 shredded cabbage for the $1.99 bag of rice. Excellent job excellent food and creates a sense of “can do it” in me! Thank you. You and the team are doing incredible development and management of your KZfaq channel to wrangle all of us!

Love this video!!!! As an Aldi girl it's great to see someone go into an Aldi and show people how to eat healthy on a budget! Thanks for doing this video!

I have 5 children and to budget IS HARD!!!! Then healthy items are 10x harder!!! So I thank you for giving helpful tips! Trying to raise my children to be VERY HEALTHY! And myself! Thanks BOBBY! Have a blessed day! I watch your vidoes everyday and share it on all my social media lol

Super video more budget friendly recipe vids...PLEASE. I live in one of the poorest areas in the country (deep south Tx) and we don't have an ALDI, Cosco, or Whole Foods, that so many of the items you featured are not attainable. And even if they are so many of us live on a tight budget. Your help in educating us to eat more healthy on a budget will in the long run aid avoiding serious illnesses. Thank you for everything you do. Many many blessings.

I've been on food stamps when I was going to school (on a grant), and had 2 kids to feed. This video just goes to show it's very difficult to buy organic, non-GMO, grass fed etc.... etc... when you are relying solely on snap benefits for your food budget. And you were shopping at the cheapest store possible! That's why you dont see hardly any people relying on government subsidies walking into whole foods. Not to mention all the people living paycheck to paycheck. There are alot of us out there. You couldnt even make the fried rice with the basics. Like scallions and peas? Just because your the working poor doesn't mean you don't want to eat well. Healthy food has got to be more affordable!

Your Awesome young men!!God Bless you both always 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉

Hello from Canada. I learn something new every time you post a new video. Thank you for that.

I am so impressed you did a food stamp budget! You made some top quality meals with as tight a budget as we food stamp users deal with. Bless your hearts for your efforts! ✨😊✨ ♡🌹♡

Can you do these types of videos but in an asian supermarket? And on a budget? I really need a video like that

This is great that you are doing this. I’m not on food stamps but I am on a similar budget.

When I was on food stamps I was given 351 bucks a month for myself and my toddler. I budgeted about 80 bucks a week and shopped at Trader Joe’s. The key is, less meat, more veg and to base your meals on grains. We also did a lot of soups and stews in the winter.

This is an awesome video!! Thank you for caring about those of us on extremely tight budgets.

I love when you do aldi videos bc I work their I love to see what people think love your videos 😃

I don’t think anyone else is doing anything that offers as much value as what you are doing with these hauls. Can’t wait for the list as well :-)

I am hooked on your channel!! I have made some lifestyle changes from watching you and it has helped me to eat better, work out more and most of all, feel better. Thank you so much for caring. I love you guys!! 😘

You're doing good work. Thank you for helping people - all of us.

Love it Bobby! I have been on both sides and took the time to watch until the very end. I so appreciate your words, the recepies everything you and Art do. Thanks!

Really great video!! Thank you so much for this video. As a Mom your meal plans are so ideal for my family, keep these budget meals going 😊

Thank you so much, Bobby and Al! Your videos are absolutely the most helpful of all I've seen on You Tube. I rely on you guys.

Thanks for the video. I take care of the elderly and I can make some of these recipes for them, they definitely are on a budget.

Great video for anyone having to make tough decisions on stretching any budget related to fixed income. Sometimes organic will have to wait until better times in order to keep every family member fed...positive emphasis on healthy selections and options. Home cooked is always healthier and cheaper than fast food. Art is rockin' that Haley Strategic shirt...amazing for a guy with a Chicago address! Loved it. I got the long sleeve one for fall!

Thanks Bobby, you just planned dinner tonight, dinner another day this week and breakfast tomorrow for my wife and I. Love the vids!

It’s fantastic that you gave your time to create this video for food in a budget. You and Art are Boddisattvas, enlightening the world with your food knowledge. We all benefit from your efforts to help us eat healthier and to save the planet. So important in these environmentally destructive times.

This was your best video yet 😭 Seriously need more of these!

Love love love this! Please more like this. Even if it isn’t a food stamp budget, but a low cost budget.

Love your channel your a blessing to many thanks for all your work to help us eat healthy 🙋🏻‍♀️

I like this video. Because in reality not on food stamps but going organic and buying grass fed meats and pasteurized eggs are expensive. I’ve went to Whole Foods and Wegmans so far and a dozen of pasteurized eggs costs $6. I want to shop organic at an affordable price.

Bobby has totally converted me to pasture raised eggs. The first time you crack that pasture raised egg into a bowl and see that beautiful orange color you will wonder what you've been eating all these years. I buy Vital Farms eggs and Vital Farms pasture raised butter. The butter is close to the same price as Kerry-gold or Finlandia. And keep an eye out--Jewel recently had Vital Farms eggs on sale for $4.49, a 25% discount and they last forever (almost).

Great job! Excellent idea for a budget. It's nice that you guys showed that you can also eat healthy and have all the nutrients we need. Please keep doing this videos! Thank you so much for all you do.

Bobby your awesome for doing this! :-D

Bobby and Art you guys are true treasures! You are doing more for people looking for good nutrition than I have seen in my adult life from all others combined and I am nearly 60. Thank you so much for this eating healthy with a TIGHT budget episode. I just can’t get over how much great information and you don’t ask us to pay for it. God bless you guys! Mad love, hey I’m cooking again, peace to you too.

I have learned so much from your channel. I have been learning to cook on a budget and a fixed income so sometimes I can’t purchase the items that you have. This video was very very helpful and I pray that you continue to be blessed to show us different ways to eat on a budget. Thank you so much love you God bless you

Art was an accountant? Glad he's working with you now!! This is one of the best videos ever - truly. As a senior on a limited budget, I've been able to do organic keto on $150 a month. I shop Kroger's (occasionally), Walmart and Aldi's. Again, thanks for this video (even though I don't eat rice - lol).

I LOVE this video challenge! I don’t receive food stamps but I am definitely on a budget! This was very helpful thank you very much 🙏🏼 🙂

Love the spreadsheets...helpful to have the leftover products to use the next weeks, and motivating to use them up! Healthy meals on a budget videos are in such demand since prices are skyrocketing. We just have regular grocery stores around here, so we can look out for sales, but also just need to buy what they have since we never can anticipate which shelves will be empty. We are pretty much priced out of meat around here, though we could go for the cheapest. But the more I learn about the cheapest meats the more I just want to find other recipes without meat and chicken.

Once again thanks for your help. I'm glad you narrowed it down and showed yourself picking more budget stuff. As I myself with pricing the way they are now can't afford any and everything grass-fed or pasture raised. This has helped a lot to help me narrow it all down

I would appreaciate a video on packaged protein drinks. Mixes vs. Shakes.

I really appreciate this. My family receives food stamps and our food stamps were just lowered to 135 from 299 since i went away for college. So this helped a lot and i can let my dad know

I love you did this on a budget!! That is a huge thing for a lot of people wanting to make better decisions and not sure where to cut corners for money reasons. Thanks for your videos!

My favorite video you've ever done! Please do more of these. Healthy, affordable, and delicious are the trifecta!! This kind of thinking about food really help challenge me to use the things I buy and be conscious of what I'm eating and pay attention to portion size. The result is healthy affordable meals with little to no food waste. Even those of us not on food stamps should pay attention to how much food we waste or throw away. Great content!!

While I enjoy watching all your videos, being on a limited budget makes most of the healthy, nutritious products out of my food plan. This had some great ideas.

Great video. Love the topic! The recipes are adaptable to anyone on a budget. Please do more videos like these

This was such a great video! My family isn't on food stamps but I do follow a tight grocery budget. This really helped to show what is better to splurge on and what isn't necessary. Thank you!! Can't wait to try these recipes too! :)

The information in this video is invaluable. I have been shopping at Aldi for years and just realized I’ve been buying the wrong products and spending too much. This video tells you how to get the healthiest bang for your buck at Aldi. Also, fantastic demonstration recipes using the Aldi products purchased. Thank you Bobby and Art for working tirelessly for us! ❤️🧡❤️🧡

It'd be so cool if you did a cookbook for this budget

I greatly appreciate you doing this, I am going to make my list and go to Aldi. I appreciate you adding the 'ideal ' items that are better but must replace with something to stay with in the budget as some may cut corners elsewhere in their budget to eat more healthy and to focus more on their health due to issues. So, please continue to make more budget friendly meals...

All those recipes look sooo good! Thanks for all your hard work guys! 🙏🏼👍

I love this video. Bring relatable to the struggle people go through trying to budget. Although i appreciate the per meal per serving break down. But the true struggle is also the transition. Calculating the break down doesn't account for the initial investment. What would be wonderful is a video about tensioning over time. What things would you gradually at to your shopping list over time. Hope that makes since. I couldn't switch everything over all at once i am prioritizing and adding things over time. Perfect example is i started with changing my oil. Now i use organic avocado oil but since it last me months next month i bought nutrional yeast. Wonderful video thank you both for all your efforts.

I wish Aldi stocked up much more with the Never Any Chicken Thighs. They do sell them but they're scarce. I try to stock up when I see them. Great video

Thanks. Love your videos. I am going to make all these recipes.

Loved the way you balanced everything - some splurges, some sacrifices. You really are a man of the people!

I love love love this, thank you so much. You’re such a good person!

Bobby I’ve found trading to ground turkey saved the money and it’s good too!!

Can u please do a video on fruits and vegetables???😊❤️

I recommend your channel to someone before I knew about this video and now I feel even better that I did. You are changing lives.

Please do an episode on supplements!! ♥️

Awesome video and Loved the stuff you suggest is affordable... I just bought your book and I can't wait to Back on Keto Again.. Thank you for a great Guidance!❤️

LOVED THIS VIDEO. so informational and educative. LOVED IT!

Wow you’re changing lives!!!!!

Such a great topic. Great idea. 😊

Thank you for making such an such an insightful, much needed video. As someone who grew up on food stamps I know first hand how challenging it is to provide balanced, nourishing meals on such a limited budget.

Bobby and Art, thanks for another fantastic video. This is becoming one of my favorite channels on KZfaq. Keep up the great work.

Your'e killing me with the teflon pan.

Well done! What type of non-stick pans do you use? That frittata nicely slipped right off. I try to use my cast iron often because I've heard it's best to stay away from Teflon. Since pans affect how our food is made and maybe taste, could you do a video on the best pans/pots to buy?

I really enjoy the videos you make! Thank you for taking the time making these!

This is awesome, Bobby! You're helping a lot of people with these videos! 🙏🏽

I LOVE this. I'm going to pretend I'm on a food stamp budget this month as I just paid my Cook County property taxes last week. I'd like to see more recipes like this. THANK YOU!

This is great and very informative. . Im on food stamps and will be trying these recipes, excluding the dairy products and chips, due to being on keto.

Thank you so much for this video! As a mom of two kids under 5 and a husband with diabetes I’m constantly trying to make good decisions for my family. We’ve been on and off food stamps for years and I understand how important it is to eat well but with a microscopic budget it’s so hard to make the choices for what you really want vs what you can afford. So many times I feel shamed by or “less than” people who can afford all the things I really wish I could be getting for my family. In a nutshell, thank you for showing balance between the best products and what is affordable on a tight budget. I loved this video, subscribed and can’t wait to hopefully see more like this!

I appreciate videos like this soooooo much!

Thanks for doing this video. I requested the food stamp video could you do more for a family of 6

Can you do Paleo meal plan on a budget at Aldi or Trader Joe's?

Bobby and Art, thanks for doing these high quality videos. There are millions of people on food stamp budgets and you just proved that eating healthy and tasty is possible.

Thank you so much Bobby and Art for your understanding of folks struggling to put food on the table counting every penny! Could you have a series dedicated to good vs. bad house and personal cleaning products as well?

In college lived off canned sardines(in tomato sauce) as a protein source; could get 15 oz cans of them for a little over a dollar at St Louis Schnucks grocers; much cheaper than canned version in olive oil or water

You make such great videos! Thank you for keeping those in mind who may be struggling financially.. going to share this with some of my friends who think they can’t eat nutritious food due to their budget.
