I learned that if you put a paper towel in the bag of spinach, lettuce, cilantro, kale, collards, etc and then squeeze the air out and roll it and seal it well, it will last a whole lot longer than if you don't. Sometimes I even change the paper towel after a couple of days. It absorbs the moisture in the bag and the moisture is what makes it start to go bad.

I think is time for an update to this 2 year old video with these crazy inflation prices 😂😢 I would love to see you go shopping again to do it again at $100.

After I watched this video, I realized that it was a year old. But no matter. I shopped along with you on the Walmart website and got everything that you did with the exception of I had to get Kerry Gold butter. My total was $125.20. Not bad at all for a month. I might spend much more than that in a week for one person. I’m in Florida and this is a year later after the 2022 inflation. Still not bad at all and you’re eating much better. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It was very eye-opening and informative. Keep up the good work!

Tip: Anyone who meal preps chicken. Use a crock pot, toss the chicken in. Fill it up with chicken broth till you start to cover the chicken. High for 4 hours. Solid tasting chicken, that won’t be dry as you eat it for the week.

DeLauer’s content has always been top notch. I tuned in over two years ago and began my process. I am 47 years and went from 275 lbs to 203 lbs in about 5 months, WITHOUT ANY EXERCISE, using only the content from his channel. Side note: I am incorporating exercise into my lifestyle because I think it’s an important component to maintaining good health. I can’t believe he continues to put this content out for free. DeLauer obviously believes in what he is doing, has lived it himself, and cares about humanity. Keep up the great work!

Nuts! Get out of the snack aisle and go over to the baking aisle. It's always cheaper always. And they usually don't have all of the added nasty oils and chemicals on them. You can toast them in a pan and add whatever spice or flavoring you want to it. It's much healthier and always cheaper. Take the money you saved and buy some dark chocolate. Just a few nuts with some melted chocolate on them is a great treat. You just have to be mindful of portion control.

This is life changing I have never heard of clean keto and as a mom on food stamps this is magic! Thank you for your videos! My kids are having a mom who is healthy!

I think this is the single most useful KZfaq video I've ever seen! I'm a rather set in my ways 60 year-old who used to be able to spend whatever I wanted each week on groceries. But now as a single woman living on a budget this video has just given me new life - especially since prices have only gone up even more since you made this video. I'll be planning for 60 meals a month and I'm so excited

Good for Tom that he put the refrigerated item back in the refrigerator instead of hiding it in a random shelf.

WALMART believe it or not, has one of the MOST AFFORDABLE food options for healthy eating. We get about 50-75% of our groceries there and their ORGANIC section only keeps growing 🤗

He won me over when he referred to Whole foods as "whole paycheck" 🤣🤣🤣

Thomas you probably don’t realize just how much difference your small “off the cuff” comments can make in someone’s life. I think it was when you were shopping frozen veggies you shared the tip of preserving a bag of salad mix or spinach to make it last. That one tip is going to save me so much money. I’m an older woman and it has never even occurred to me to do that. That one tip “for me” was the most important take away of the entire video although I will probably reflect back on the rest the next time I’m in Walmart. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

I would like like the meal plan from the Walmart haul for the month. 💯

this helps so much more than what everyone's been telling me. I'm so happy to see what to ACTUALLY get (not just bacon and cheese but the right bacon and the right cheese) I hate asking what the diet is like and people just tell you to read the ingredients when I dont even know what I'm looking for 😭

Thomas, you are by far the best & most informed Keto dieter on You Tube. You do so much work to inform us with all your overwhelming knowledge you have gained by all of your research & learning what works & what doesn't. You are Informing us not only how our body uses what we eat & drink, but also what is terrible to put in our bodies & why. You live this lifestyle. You have made an amazing transformation of your own body on Keto & very hard work in the gym. Thank you so much for all of your content. I am a 60 year old male, following your lead to better my lifestyle & health. I am on your Keto diet & a daily exercise routine now. I couldn't be happier!

It’s so refreshing to see someone talk about CLEAN keto. It is so important for not only weight loss but health in general.

I just wanna say thank you for making these videos, they are really helpful. I'm 18, and grocery shopping is probably my biggest struggle now that I'm on my own. I've aged out of fostercare, and I was never taught how to go grocery shopping. The first few months on my own I was living off of snacks and cereal 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

ANY EGG IS BETTER THAN SUGARY CEREAL/PANCAKE/MUFFIN/ANY JUNKY PROCESSED FOOD. Do not stress about the tiny details. Learn as you go and just know you are doing bettet than yesterday.

I always notice a difference with the texture of frozen veggies vs fresh ones. as much as i love the idea of frozen, it does something to some veggies that I can't get past.

Love your channel. One thing though because I’m a farmer and I raise poultry. What you want for eggs is pasture raised organic. There’s not much difference between free range organic and organic unless it’s pasture raised. Those two are just the difference between a cage and a large enclosed barn they may have a tiny bit of room To walk but they never live a natural life.

I like how you went through your thought process instead of just showing a haul. Very informative.

i would love to see the 30 day meal plan he created with the food he bought

Great video. I went shopping yesterday and spent $107 in NV and bought almost all the things you suggested. Thank you for all the tips and information you provided during the video.

I have bought the “tube” of ground beef at Walmart several times and find that there is almost a pound of water in it! They plump it up so you get less meat-not really a good deal.....just buy the organic, grass fed;)

This Haul is not only keto friendly but, the budget and the meal ideas are excellent diet or not.

I'm 36 years old and I just started this keto diet and I went my whole life thinking I didn't like cauliflower but I found out I'll absolutely love cauliflower and feel like I have missed out my whole life on it. I love cauliflower rice I love cauliflower grits I love cauliflower Pizza. I feel soooo much healthier and have so much energy.

Got us eating like toddlers lmao not everyone is trying to lose weight but if you have to “survive” the healthiest way possible this would be it. I’d double this to 200 a month and be set for more calories. Great video bro !

I laughed when you said prices in California are inflated. I live in Georgia and just did the comparison on the things you bought. Prices here are about the same if not more! Spinach 16oz CA 2.98 GA 3.12 Happy Organic Free Range Eggs CA 4.68 GA 4.92 Organic Eggs CA 3.50 GA 3.68 Grass fed Ground Beef CA/GA 4.96 Jennie Turkey Burgers CA 5.98 GA 6.98 Frozen Diced Chicken CA 6.96 GA 7.47 Frozen Pink Salmon CA 7.92 GA 8.70 Frozen Shrimp CA 5.30 GA 5.56 Frozen Broccoli CA/GA 1.00 Frozen Asparagus CA 2.77 GA 2.97 Frozen Zucchini CA/GA 1.48 Frozen Brussel Sprouts CA 1.97 GA 1.27 Riced Cauliflower CA 1.97 GA 1.98 BB Keto Waffles CA 4.98 GA 3.98 Almond Milk CA 1.98 GA 1.87 Horizon Heavy Cream CA 4.18 GA 4.58 Neufchâtel cheese CA .98 GA .67 Parmesan Cheese CA/GA 2.22 Dry Roasted Almonds CA 4.78 GA 4.96 Louanna Oragnic Coconut Oil CA 6.47 GA 7.38 Almond Butter CA/GA 4.98 Sardines CA 1.14 GA .92 love fat bars CA/Ga 6.98 None of the stores around me carry the danish butter or farmer John bacon. Minimum wage is California is $13/14 an hour. Minimum wage is Georgia is $7.25 an hour. Can anyone explain this? Ridiculous

I bought whole chicken breasts that were organic, split them and stuffed with dried cherry tomatoes, feta and goat cheese, cooked spinach in avocado oil, wrapped them in bacon , kept one out to cook and froze the rest. Salmon cakes are da bomb with a poached egg and sauteed spinach on top. The chicken breasts were huge so it made enough for 2 meals. I try my best to "KETO-FY" all my food prep choices for maximum benefits and nutrition. Thanks Thomas for another great grocery haul video for those of us on a tight budget.

Just because the egg container says "free range" or "cage free" doesn't mean anything. The chickens are still caged with very little access to outdoors. The USDA's definition of free range and cage free is completely twisted.

So glad I found this. I've had doctors recommend keto but gave me no information on what to get. Since I have to buy at Walmart due to needing groceries delivered, this was SUPER helpful. Thank you!

This was, BY FAR, the best shopping video I've watched, and I've watched a bunch. I hope you continue doing these budget keto shopping. Especially, during these high inflation times.

If you have an Aldi Store in your area, please do a haul there. Many of these items are there for super cheap! Plus, I'd really LOVE to see it! Thanks for all you do!

I started my journey with a low-carb diet before going full-blown keto and the transition was much easier. I have been fully keto now for about 12 days and have lost an incredible 11 lbs. It's a little scary because I feel like I'm eating much too much fat. It's like a guilty pleasure sauteing in Irish butter, bacon grease, coconut oil, avocado oil, and ghee. But incredible, I have not yet had a craving for my favorite food in the entire world "potatoes." I was only going to dedicate myself to this lifestyle for about 30 days, just to see if I could do it, but now I plan on making it at least till June 2021. Thank you for the context and for supporting the keto fans.

Anyone notice the camping chairs on top of the refrigerators? 😂

Cooking a whole chicken in a pot gives you great dark/white meat & also gives you your own broth to use w/the frozen broccoli/heavy cream &/cheese, optional, for cream of broccoli soup, just use almond or coconut flour to thicken more. Also makes a great sauce over veggies & seafoods. Love your shopping list!!

I would have skipped cottage cheese and just bought a half gallon of some A2 milk, made some yogurt from half of it with an added splash of that heavy cream you just picked up, and then use the other half to make a little fresh cheese and then ricotta. All you need is salt and vinegar or lemon juice and a little bit of time. But so many of us have nothing but time on our hands right now. And it's a great time to learn a basic skill like that, one that makes your food healthier and gives you more control of what you put into your body.

A bag of spinach like that lasts me two days lol.

Thank you for showing me how to shop at Walmart for keto friendly options. Because of my health, I need to lose 100 lbs in the next year and the keto diet seems to be the best plan for me, although it can be more expensive than my usual PAST shopping list that included lots of carbs & very little nutrition. You’re teaching me about portion control, fasting & budgeting, which is important because I live on EBT and SSDI ( “food stamps and disability” lol). PS..Thrive Market doesn’t accept EBT yet, they’re pending approval. However, they did give me an opportunity to apply for a free membership based on my low-income status. I did the same thing with AMAZON and now AMAZON accepts EBT online. I tell you this because maybe you can help lobby the proper government agency to approve Thrive Market soon! Please keep your fun, easy-to-understand videos coming 🙋🏽‍♀️😋

I can't imagine getting 3 servings out of one bag frozen broccoli or brussel sprouts! I eat the whole bag myself, easily. I also make my own 'chaffles' or other keto waffles. Chaffles= 1 egg and half cup grated cheese.

I calculated it out and this shopping trip is only about 700 calories/day if you tried to spread it over the whole month... 24x eggs - 1716 calories 3 lb grass fed beef - 2951 calories 1x box 6 turkey burgers - 1568 calories 4 lb lean chicken breast - 2847 calories 12oz frozen shrimp - 400 calories 6x keto waffle - 480 calories 1 gal almond milk - 624 calories 1 pint heavy cream - 1504 calories 1 lb sour cream - 896 calories 16oz neufchatel cream cheese - 1120 calories 8oz butter - 1624 calories 4oz parmesan cheese - 512 calories 12oz bacon - 1336 calories yogurt - 450 calories 8oz almond butter - 2088 calories sardines - 315 calories 4x tuna can - 400 calories

I opened my walmart app and added all the stuff to my cart while watching. My store does free pick- up! 😉

I really love your videos and appreciate the time you take to do these for those like me that get so overwhelmed on keto with not only what to eat but the cost as well! 😃

I wish he did more videos like this... I'm not keto but I'm definitely into fasting and really financially aware.

Thomas, I just want to say I am glad I found your channel because it's nice to finally relate to someone. My whole family thinks I'm nuts because I'm an extremely healthy eater that always check the ingredients in the foods I eat. I have Lupus and I went from being insanely miserable every single day to thriving,. I went from getting Lupus flare ups every month to NONE.. and its been over 1.4 years.

Thomas i gotta say.... these budget videos are super entertaining and very resourceful!! I spent yesterday watching your dollar store, sprouts, and Costco videos. Great content man.

i Just did this haul today, i watched this video last night and now, I love how I did everything for less!! the almond milk , which I drink, cost me $1.70. i was so excited, the spinach bag, exact one was $2.88!!

Love this guys videos. I've watched videos posted by professional athlete trainers, nutritionists, & medical doctors. Thomas sums all of these aspects into one and goes the extra mile by making detailed videos like this and with links that not only covers the area of education but also the literal steps to take now. I don't really like leaving comments but I just had to. Kudos

I'm working on getting back to keto. I had originally lost over 90lbs. But have gained back 50lbs 🥺. I'm starting from basics and this video was a tremendous help for me. Not that I don't know what to do, but this is helping me keep focused on what I "need" vs. what I "want". Thank you Thomas for all that you do to educate all of us on this!!!

Can we get a video showing everything you actually bought in one frame & what you'll make with everything?

Again, very impressed by what you put into your shopping videos. Clean Kosher low carb is so very important to me for health reasons and your Kosher shopping and ideas are epic even though it's unplanned. I think you are a bit more disciplined than my 2 family household, in the way of portion control but today is a shopping day for us. And for the first time on a serious budget in my long life, I will stick as closely as possible to your suggestions here. Prices have jumped quite a bit in the year since your video, and pay for the self employed has too unfortunately, so, I plan on weighing portions as you suggest to help with stretching meals further. Thank you for all of your effort put towards every one of your video's!

I love going shopping with you. I learn so much. Also it’s really funny to see you get all excited when you see certain foods lol Thanks again

Now we need to know how you are putting the meals together with this haul.

Your meal prep would be an excellent part 2 to this video! 😋🤩😎 This is changing lives as it is, and crushing excuses. Thank you! 🙏🏼

Nothing wrong with the brine in the frozen chicken. It is necessary for the flash freezing process, so the water inside the chicken doesn't crystallize in big clumps and make the meat mushy.

Thomas, thank you for doing this! I have been watching budget grocery hauls and they buy so much carb loaded, processed junk and people need to know they can eat the good stuff on a budget!!!!

I would kill to have you show us how to cook and prepare this stuff. I know zero things about cooking. I'd love to learn!

I put cocoa powder, chia seeds and heavy cream with monk fruit. Pudding is very rich and I sometimes I add chocolate collagen powder… can add soaked chia seeds to whipped cream and frozen berries too. Omega

Thank you so much for your shopping videos. I have lost 40 lbs in 10 weeks doing a haphazard keto but your videos are such an encouragement to follow clean keto. The education you give is so motivating and necessary to understand the nature of the foods we eat and WHY we should eat certain products over others. Thank you so much!

these kinds of videos are awesome, i managed to decrease my shopping bills by over 30 % in the last year and a half, while still getting mostly healthy foods thanks, Thomas, keep up the great work

I love when you take us shopping with you so we can hear your thought process on different ingredients and pros/cons. And thanks for being so relatable by including the bit about apologizing to a box. 😆

Bit late watching this but the info is very helpful. That is if you have $100 to spend on food every month and if you have a fridge/freezer.

I've got news for you regarding heavy cream... even this organic variety has "Gellan Gum"; it's a stabilizer/emulsifier. Most of the mainstream brands have "Carrageenan". The food manufacturers are even toying around with just the basic ingredients; it's getting harder and harder to find a true heavy cream that is just heavy cream.

We make 4 patties from those grass fed beef packs from Walmart. We do add grass fed cheese to the patties, but we only eat 1 burger per meal along with a salad, some lentils, or homemade coleslaw.

I learn so much from this guy! I'm so thankful for this information. Especially, learning about controlling the quality of fats with meats and using up my own body fat. Hell, there's so much good info here I can't even decide what's most valuable. It's all good!

from a person who eats keto and organic … THANK YOU … the goal is health with some weight loss to go along and you helped me understand a few things I needed to know about ingredients and choices

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! I eat a lot of fresh veggies, and it’s nothing for me to spend $100/week. This was a great reminder of the bargain of frozen!

I wanna know how you make a bag of spinach last a month! It cooks down so far that the whole bag is equal to about 2-3 cups cooked. I love spinach, eggs, ground beef, mushrooms, garlic... yum!

Grabs a tomato "Oh yeah you'll get about 4 meals out of this" 😅

Clean doesn't really matter, lost 200lbs doing both ways, felt the best I ever did in my life. Clean or dirty felt exactly the same, maintained the same health. Buying for a month is easy it's eating for a month that's hard. Some days you're hungrier then others, the moment you break discipline your budget changes.

Thank you so much for making this video! It makes it knowledge that’s workable into wisdom because you can definitely see where it’s about making choices healthier choices and obtainable choices on a budget. Thank you again

This could possibly be my favorite video, yet! For those of us on a super strict budget, this is REALLY helpful. I just started back to work recently, and unemployment only paid $250/wk, so my middle name is BUDGET. 😂 So many of us are in that same boat. I only have one issue. My inner grammar nazi twitched a little at the beginning. "Less *than* $100/month" You've been a guiding light for my keto journey. Keep up the great content! 🤘

When you're eating cheap keto, add that Omega-3 supplement to balance out the O-6

I dont live in America but I always love watching your videos and getting ideas what I can eat or do while on Keto.

Glad to hear on a bad day you might eat the whole jar of almond butter!😂 I am working towards a clean keto diet, and on my “bad days” easily eat 4 or 5 loaded spoons of 100% pure peanut butter.

A person can add Lilly's chocolate chips in coffee for flavor. Mint chocolate chip, white chocolate, salted caramel chocolate.

I love you Thomas but 27% over is a little stretching the title I think it would’ve been better saying $150 a month and being under 18% the $150

Holy crap! One year after this video was made prices have gone up exponentially 😢 That sams choice salmon is now $17.52 in Ohio. This video is great, by the way!

16 eggs for the month? I need more than that for the week.

I always learn so much watching your videos. You have completely changed the way I shop for food. Every time I go to the store I ask myself, “would Thomas buy this?”

I love how he's like "You know what, I'm going to put the ice cream back and get 2 heavy creams instead of just one." Then later on the video he's like, "You know what I'm actually going to put this heavy cream back & get this." 😂 I love watching the natural process of that we all go through at the grocery store while trying to shop on a budget lol. Like putting 15 things in the cart and rotating the stuff back to the shelf to get something else, that we will also put back on the shelf to get something else 😂 Love your videos Thomas! The ONLY keto videos I watch!

Wow! I thought I knew stuff. Here I was shoveling down raw spinach and just the cheapest eggs I could afford. I learned a lot in just a few minutes. Thank you.

I love your videos. I dont do keto as I have no body fat and looking to gain but find your explanations of the ingredients and how that affects you extremely helpful

Thank you so much! I gained 100 pounds this year due to covid and I’m looking to lose with all your advice and assistance thank you Thomas!

Our Wal-Marts in Texas have Good Culture. Also I save money gardening and keeping chickens. Granted I live in a rural area but when I was younger and in an apartment I kept a patio garden with herbs and salad vegetables. The better cheese is by the deli btw.

Buddy, this was one of the best keto vids I've ever seen and fun as hell to watch too,thanx. Maybe you should do another one.

You should use a prebiotic/probiotic or apple cider vinegar gummy if you’re concerned with bloating. Staying away from spicy food, fried food and roasting your veggies also helps with bloating. Cauliflower also helps heal the stomach lining if you ever experience stomach pain that also leads to bloating.

Walmart has a specialty cheese section near their deli. That's where you'll find Gouda. Sometimes they have it.

Invest in a cheap Walmart hand blender and make your own mayo with raw ingredients of your favorite edible oil, eggs, and some black pepper.

LOL i got your thrive ad in the middle of this thats so funny 😂 i was like “what is this jump-cut OH there’s a skip button”

Thank you for this video so happy I found it. Other KZfaqrs talk about buying organic and grass fed/finished "if you can afford it" and they offer no other good alternatives, a bit elitist and shaming at the same time. Now with recession, inflation, gas and all prices rising your video is a ray of hope.

I like how this is shopping for a MONTH. I could easily devour everything in that cart in one week and that is OMAD hahaha.

Thomas, this is my first time commenting and I just have to say that this vlog was excellent! I learned so much and will be implementing the things that you showed us in my next shopping trip. Thank you. With that being said, you look like you love a challenge. I do not know if you have done this already but would you please consider doing a keto food haul for those of us that have blood sugar issues (e.g. Type 1/Type 2 Diabetes) if you do another trip to Walmart; a keto haul shopping at a Hispanic market, Asian Market (I have found some great prices on meat and vegetables at these stores as well) and an emergency/lockdown haul. I learned so much from this video. I really appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos. Again, thank you so much.

I appreciate your videos I’m going trying to do a lifestyle change and I appreciate you doing grocery shopping at Walmart because a lot of us are on a budget and the only grocery stores we have is Walmart, Costco, Samclub, frys.

I really appreciated d the grocery tour! I am not a big eater but I would like to see how you portion your haul into meals. Having a difficult time imagining how a young male will get enough of a serving from each meal to stay satisfied. I also did appreciate that your choices dispelled my belief about Keto being super high in fats! I’m Canadian so prices are defo different here especially in 2022 ! Groceries prices are way over the top!

I just bought the isopure protein powder that you showed in your video. Three weeks ago I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed and still on liquid and soft foods. Starting eating Keto 20 months ago lost 65 lbs so far. Lowered my A1C from 6.3 to 5.2 I love that protein powder I use it for berry smoothies but it also makes a great coating for making air fried foods or fried foods.

Even though I’m probably not going to start shopping at Walmart for my groceries (it’s not convenient). This video was full of great information and little hints that were new to me and I’ve been keto for three years! There’s always something more to learn and be inspired by.

We always buy and love using the pure monkfruit and stevia extract powders in small containers with at least 200 servings in each container. They are perfect for us, since they do NOT contain erythritol or dextrose.

Amazingly helpful video. Mr DeLauer, always bringing so much value - thank you sir! SALUTE.
