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!

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.

@LucRio448 Жыл бұрын

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.

@emilyx8377 Жыл бұрын

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.

@bearclaire Жыл бұрын

You can also use silicone muffin trays for a slightly bigger portion. Once frozen pop them out of the tray and keep in a zip lock bag. Handy for soup, left over sauces etc

@Alina_Schmidt Жыл бұрын

Ice cubes are perfect for lemon juice. Adding the peel too of course. Easily defrosts while you cook.

@tobleroonie5043 3 ай бұрын

You don't even need an ice cube tray! Spoon the tomato paste out onto wax paper, then carefully lay it in the freezer. This is good if you don't have enough room for an ice tray--the paper can bend.

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.

@trishk.7876 Жыл бұрын

I didn't know that Canada was the world's leading producer and exporter of lentils - how cool! I was just thinking this morning that Canadians have such a great claim to fame with their maple syrup. 😋

@kreestuh4367 Жыл бұрын

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.

@rajg7037 Жыл бұрын

I also live in Ontario! Our local "ethnic" store has a pretty good selection of Mexican / !Latin ingredients even though it's technically an "Asian" supermarket. And I always sub Cayanne or Thai chilis for serrano... Baby mouths beware 😂

I’m in Canada, yet very very far away from any area that can produce Maple Syrup so it is expensive to purchase.

I have to be realistic when recreating a KZfaq recipe because the flavour just isn’t there due to shopping times!

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.

My best advice, if it's available to you, is to order your groceries online. It has helped me so much with budgetting. 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.

I got an instant pot (and your book) 2 years ago and have been using it sooo much. It is ideal for dried beans and all your recipes are amazing. Your soups are 😍😍😍 For those wondering, IP doesn't use a lot of energy and your beans get ready super quick. 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.

@laranadesign4764 Жыл бұрын

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. 😅

The price check is such a smart idea!! I always try to make a mental note but we all know how that goes… i’ll definitely be trying it out next time!

@rebekahyoungers831 Жыл бұрын

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!

Veggie scraps can also be used for soups. In my opinion, you can make a mashed soup out of almost any veggies. If you just season it the right way, it’ll be delicious. I live alone and often have much more veggies than I can eat before they go bad (cabbages are huge, spinach is often sold in massive bags, etc) so making a soup of whatever veggie leftovers I have has become my favorite way of using them up.

Unfortunately where I live, buying in bulk is more expensive than buying packaged and there's a monopoly in terms of supermarkets, only 2 very popular ones and 2 smaller ones. 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!

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.
