I agree. I am struggling to buy food and pay bills. Most people have an instapot and an air fryer. My heat is broken so I’m using expensive space heaters. Nothing left for appliances. My gas fireplace broke too but I managed to fix it for a bit of heat a few hours a day. Most rich youtubers don’t understand that a 70% pay cut during covid has removed some of us from middle class life.

Money saver: you can regrow those green onions.! Using the white end and a tiny section of green- place in a clear glass or jelly jar. Cover white area with cold water. Place by a window. They grow a few inches per day! Cut off amounts as needed to cook with. Replace water ever few days. It will continue to grow for months. You could also transplant to a flower pot when roots grow long. I always grow the ones stair from the bag from Aldis!

I’m 27 and me and my partner are struggling to learn how to cook while going through inflation. These are stressful times. My parents and grandparents have always been poor, but I wanted to help us be able to eat better and healthier now that I’m grown. I have struggled so much to find things that are healthy and aren’t gross and bland. This video gave me hope.

I'm actually really impressed with how many meals you got out of that amount of food. The thing to note though, is that this is for one person, correct? I'm feeding 6 on a regular basis and often a few more. So, that would be $600 ish for me to do this. When you look at the quality of the food it's worth it, but for someone feeding a lot of people, not inexpensive. With bulk buying maybe that would help costs. Not criticizing! Love your videos! Speculating how to make it work for me.

Steph J - Rejoicing Farm I agree! This ends up being $11 per day, per person. I do Keto and spend about $200 at Costco every 3 months, and then $10-20 per week for the stuff I need (or happen to catch on markdown that I can throw in the freezer)

Super impressed with the amount of food left over and the variety in which you were able to come up with...a well rounded variety that most people like. I found in the other gals video (darn her name is escaping me ...Gia maybe) that she came up with a few pantry type items that not many are going to like unless they are familiar with. Although they we great items to try if you never have! Anyway, thanks for the time and energy spent on coming up with the meals, definitely something I will use. :)

I feel like zoodles are not really a good replacement for noodles, but I do think they're good as a side dish, like sauteed with butter, garlic, salt & pepper. You could do a chicken Parmesan, using pork rinds or almond flour as breading, then serve with marinara and zoodles on the side. Generally at restaurants, chicken parm comes with noodles on the side.

Celery seed is really good with Egg Salad! One of my kids HATES onion. Everytime he would see me use it he wouldn't eat dinner. Then I figured something out. It's not the flavor of onion he didn't like, it was the texture! lol So I either dice really small or I mince and cook them lol As long as he doesn't see it or feel it he doesn't seem to notice lol I'm all for draining your meat but I think the residue left in the pan is great flavor! lol
