Hey Nish! You missed out an important but a crazy tip - start growing your own greens! I know, this doesnt apply for everyone. But if you have been keeping a good inventory for long, you would know as to which veggies are your favourite and which are considerably pricey at your nearest groceries. You can always start small. Most leafy greens actually grow well in tiny pots that you could keep next to your kitchen window or at your patio/balcony. If you have the space - try growing onions, garlic, radishes, carrots & beets BUT eat more of their greens rather than just the tubers/roots. I even sneak in carrot leaves in salads and told people that it was parsley! I've sneaked green onions & green garlic into home-made vegan chocolate milk and trust me, no one ever found out!Furthermore, these plants eventually would start producing seeds which you could collect, store and use in the future. It does require a lot of hard work & patience but please trust me when I say that this tip goes a long way as it is a long term thing which I have definitely benefited. I am on intermittent fasting now eating 2 meals daily 6 days a week. All these tips that you have given in this video are truly a blessing! Stay cheerful as you always do! Lots of love to everyone at home!

@@spankcak3s In addition to growing fresh herbs: Store bought pottet fresh greens can often be separated into several plants and repotted individually, enhancing the plants's survival rate. Especially useful for basil and parsley. Also: Spread the plants around your home so if one catches a bug/illness, it doesn't contaminate the rest of your plants. And propagate the living death out of any store bought plant. In particular lemon balm, mint, and basil are very easy to root and turn into loads of new plants. Lastly: Plant a few of the seeds when using store bought bell peppers, chili, or tomatoes. They all sprout readily, grow fast and give a good yield - also in the window sill. I find though, that I need organic parent plants for the seeds to sprout.

Two very important tips: 1, never shop hungry. 2, optimize the use of freezer produce! I would let so many heads of broccoli or cabbage go wilty or gross because I couldn't be bothered to chop them. The solution? Frozen veggies! Never go bad, no need to chop. I use frozen fruit for prepping overnight oats for breakfast. I never have to worry about wasting the fruit because it will last just about forever.

I mean I'd love to buy, process and freeze food, like a lot - but then I remember, I got some blocks of butter, a small ice cube tray thing and a single like...700g bag of frozen veggies in there. Oh and a really small container with frozen herbs. And now whenever I open it to get to the ice cubes, get a pack of butter, get some herbs or some veggies, I'm always afraid the second I open, everything is gonna fall out because it's already full with that little stuff in there.

Great tips! I'd add this personal one: keep an updated list of what's inside your freezer on the door. This way you'll actually use up what you already bought and froze... plus you save energy by not having to open it to check what's inside.

Here's a tip from me: if you want to freeze leftover tomato paste or any other condiment that you typically use in small portions, dole out spoonfuls into an empty ice cube tray and put it in the freezer. Then you can remove one frozen spoonful whenever needed, while the rest stays in the ice cube tray for future use.

It's also helpful to take into account the region of the world you live in. Many of your recipes use serrano peppers or other Mexican ingredients that are readily available in California, obviously because there's a large Mexican population there. Here in Ontario, Canada, not so much. There's a little local Mexican grocery store where I live but the items are insanely expensive, probably due to having to be imported (and Canadians love to price gouge, seriously, not sure what that's about.) On the other hand, lentils are so plentiful here that they're really cheap (Canada is the world's leading producer and exporter of lentils.) Also, there's a large Indian/Muslim population in my city so there are several local shops that stock all the beans, lentils and spices necessary for many of your recipes. TL;DR - It's all about where you live, shop local and see what is available for cheap in your area.

Yup, the ethnic grocery tip is great if you live in a large city with a lot of resources, but they aren't typically available in a rural area. I would kill for an Asian market but the nearest one is over an hour away by car-- and that's one way. Same with the bulk stores. But the trade off is that I can garden more readily where I am, saving money on a lot of staple veggies that I'd normally pay a premium for.

I just put the items into my online card and go back to it after checking what I already have and i can easily take them out again if i end up not needing them. Haven't been over-buying ever since and it's really handy to immediately see how much the total cost is.

So in total, even with the high energy costs, I believe it is cheaper to bulk buy dry beans and use the IP than use canned beans.

These are some great reminders - thanks! One tip I would add is to be realistic about what you and your family actually enjoy eating. I used to fill my cart with "aspirational" items that nobody was really excited about, and then when it came time to make myself a lunch, I would feel obligated to eat them, but I wouldn't really want to. For example, nobody at my house likes quinoa, so I simply don't buy it anymore!

ONE MORE TIP! Eat before you grocery shop. If I am mildly hungry, I will subconsciously grab ready-to-eat items that are not on my list and those tend to be the more expensive and not always healthy items. BONUS TIP I also keep a list on my phone called "Price Check". It includes staples and how much (by weight) it was purchased and where. It's SO helpful to see how you can lose the money you saved on a few sale items when buying the rest full price, if you only shop at one store. It's not critical but if you are able, it's very rewarding and more fun than coupons. 😅

One thing I like to do is check online which ingredients are cheaper in which supermarkets and get them from there. I'm extremely jealous you have so many options, it's almost overwhelming!

One thing to consider with those membership programs: they are a major source of data on you being sold off to the highest bidder. Grocery stores don't operate on huge margins, so if they're not making their money on you, they're making their money by selling you on the data market. This is not to say don't join those membership programs, just be aware that it's not *just* a free discount. I leave your priorities vis a vis cost saving vs maintaining personal privacy up to you, some people don't see data as an issue and some people don't have the financial stability to look at a discount program and say "no thanks."

Really good tips overall and I am so excited to try some of the recipes featured. One thing I do differently, first I go straight to the "manager's discount" or markdown bins and buy things from there - but only healthy things that I normally would buy, and no treats or junk. Also paying attention to the "loss leaders" - those items marked down on special that week. As grocery stores tend to buy some things on a regular basis, but with supply chain issues sometimes one order will be delayed and then it will come in practically on top of the next one, they don't have enough space so often reduce the price. I have saved so, so much money doing these things, and prices are too high for me to just come in and only buy what was already on a list. Then I go home and plan my meals on what I have on hand and what needs eaten soon. I really don't have much food waste. But I am very disciplined and organized, I don't end up spending more than I budgeted. Money is too tight. FYI, you can freeze pasta. Just be sure it's al dente before freezing, defrost in fridge and warm in microwave.

A tip to avoid sweet impulse buys: before going to the grocery store, eat two oreo cookies or whatever you think tastes sickly sweet. Then at the grocery store when you walk by the sweet snacks aisle you will remember the overly sugary taste of the cookies and that will turn you off, specially if you take a look at the cookies for sale. It works for me at least.

Great video! So helpful. I’d like to add that you can save seeds and easily regrow certain fruit, veg, and herbs from the grocery store. I always regrow green onions and get a few bunches for the price of one 😊

What a great video Nisha. Now I feel proud that when I discovered I didn’t have all the ingredients to make a cake for a friend coming around for a cuppa, I subbed and changed rather than go to the supermarket.

Lots of great tips - thank you! One thing I do with fresh cilantro and parsley that I may not use right away, is to chop them up and lay on a tray in the freezer (on waxed paper or parchment). When the herbs are frozen, I transfer them into a container and they're ready to go into a soup or stew. Not so great for garnish, but this works well for cooked dishes.

I would recommend this video to absolutely EVERYONE if you didn't miss these two important points: growing your own veg/herbs, and using frozen and/or canned vegetables instead of fresh ones. Game changer for people without much money to spend. I would love an updated version - the format is so beautiful!!!

More food storage tips. BTW, I started using an herb keeper (basically a tall vase) for keeping herbs fresh in the fridge. If you have the space, it really will help to extend the life of herbs by a week or two. Highly recommended.

Great video! For my "eat-first" strategy, I keep 2 rectangular bins on the top shelf of the fridge. When I cut up onions, garlic, peppers, carrots, avocado, broccoli, or other veg, I put the unused part in a small glass bowl with lid and put it in one bin. In the other I keep lettuce, spinach, cabbage, and other leafy greens. I pull these out to make a burrito, stir fry, loaded salad, or veggie bowl. Cheap, quick, and fast!

If you have a sunny windowsill you can grow the ones you use most often yourself. It takes some time in the beginning, but saves a lot later on. The ready-grown plants you can buy in the supermarket often need more space than the pots they come in and you need to divide them into parts. Since I have a problem keeping them alive after dividing them, I prefer self-grown.

I sometimes freeze parsley, that works quite good. Usually you can take out little amounts from your container while still frozen.
