84 KETO MEALS FOR $40 | Extreme Keto Budget Grocery Haul & Cheap Keto Meals

[@christinaowens796]

I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. kzbin.infoUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. thank you for your video it's time to make a change.

Tip: if you plant the root on the green onion, it'll keep growing right back every few days. I haven't had to buy any in 5 years.

[@Metqa]

Kudos, me too! Except a bug got to my plants and chewed the roots away so I must start over. But not a bad investment for 50 cents, eh? I'm growing lettuce and bok choi in a passive hydroponic set up... basically anything that holds water! I've got recycled almond milk jugs, soda bottles, milk jugs, dollar tree storage totes all growing greens for me. I tossed some onion roots in a compost pile and they grew back beautiful towering columns. Being somewhat self sufficient is a great feeling, innit?

[@amberbrooks82]

@@Metqa That's awesome! The cold wiped out pretty much my whole garden a few weeks ago and I'm going to have to start over myself. It is definitely a good feeling being somewhat self sufficient for sure. Hopefully one day I'll be moreso :)

[@shik4488]

whoa. Gonna try this

[@spacecaptain9188]

It's a good idea, if you can do it. It's important to note, though, that a lot of people don't have access to sun in their homes. If you're spending 40 dollars for a weeks worth of food for a whole family, you probably aren't living in a sunlit single family home with a yard, or a well windowed penthouse. There's a fair chance your in a small apartment, with small windows, and no yard. You may also be at the basement level, where all of the natural light is shaded by other buildings and the sidewalk.

[@lisam2795]

​@@spacecaptain9188They will still grown in any window ledge! I live with little sunlight, but they don't need much. I just stick them in a glass of water and they grow very well! If you don't have any windows at all, a small grow bulb is pretty cheap, too.

Watching this a year later and the price you paid for 60 eggs almost made me cry. I paid $6.89 for just 18 eggs this week. I sure hope egg prices go back down again soon!

You and me both! I paid just over $20 last week for a 60 count box at Walmart. :(

[@Mike_Wazowskii7]

Oof. In Germany 60 (decent quality) eggs cost around $13. You can go cheaper for maybe $10 but your prices are crazy 😳

[@Metqa]

Yeah, my favorite easiest healthiest food has become a luxury item. People thought I was daft when I stocked up on tuna at 33 cents a can. I bought a whole case. Now that eggs are borderline unaffordable, I'm supplementing my meals with canned tuna that was on sale for the current cost of a single egg! From 8 cents to 33 cents each, this bird flu really messed things up. Luckily, the broiler birds are less affected by the illness and the price of chicken meat did not similarly sky rocket.

[@MickeyLeDane]

You almost have to take put a loan to purchase eggs anymore! LOL Might be easier to buy a few chickens! LOL

[@samiam4846]

I’m excited to try this with a little variation. I know prices have gone up since last year so I didn’t know what to expect and I prayed just to be under $50. I was at $42.92! Because I gave myself a $50 limit, I added Italian sausage for the frittata and egg cups. Total is $46.82. I’ll be following all your recipes. I’m excited to get back into Keto and follow this plan. Thank You!

[@FourJaysFour]

I was wondering how inflation affected the cost. Thanks for sharing!!

[@the2ndQT]

Thanks for sharing. Only thing I would recommend is what sodium intake from the italian sauage, deli meats, etc. no more than 2300mg sodium recommended :) Enjoy tho!! :)

[@Bawkr]

How'd that go? Always hate the names of diets like Keto & Atkins but I like the function of them. Generally just want to make stuff that applies to them from somewhat fresh to fresh ingredients. Sugar is my biggest opponent, calorie wise I have not been eating much most of the time except on holidays sometimes. But I do want to cut out bread/grain especially at my current weight level, seems to be the main difference that and potatoes as well.

[@VictorHernandez-nt3tw]

Watching it now almost 2024... I haven't tried this yet but I'm sure with inflation it's now a $300 groceries. 😂

You are all lucky, Europe is way more expensive, a Can of Tuna in brine costs between 1.7 and 2.1 €, 400g of frozen peas costs 2€. If you manage a family of 2 grownups and 2 kids for less than 600€ per month ,you are lucky.

A tip for cheaper chaffles- I use the “white bread chaffle” recipe and it doesn’t use any cheese! It’s egg almond flour baking powder and mayo (I also add garlic salt). I usually triple the recipe and try to make like 10 at a time. Then I do all open face sandwiches aka only use one chaffle for each sandwich. I use a piece of sliced cheese on top of the ingredients (deli meat, spinach, etc) to help hold it together for eating.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Pls give the white bread chaffle recipe TY!

[@0839westy]

@@YeshuaKingMessiah Hi I think a basic recipe is something like: 1 egg plus half cup of grated cheese so we could try a quarter cup of both almond flour and mayo (maybe slightly more almond flour...?). Add a pinch baking Powder. That would surely get us started... Yeshua also my King😀. Best regards. Georgina, Ireland

[@SF-ru3lp]

@@YeshuaKingMessiah Hi I'm just eating two white bread waffels. I am thrilled with them! I can't mix almond flour and dairy in same meal so these are games changing for me! Praise God! I did 1 egg (large). Then I took a half cup measure, put almond flour into it up to three quarters and filled the rest up with mayo (even if it went slightly over) and a good pinch Baking Powder. I mixed it with a fork. It was a bit thick and stiff so I poured in a careful half tablespoon (I think!). Was happy with a thick but portable consistency. They are soft and yummy! Sorry, long text.

With the price of food going out of control, this video is super relevant. I used to make these egg cups all the time, great staple.looking back at this reminds me I need to start some more lettuce and bok choi seeds to help supplement the grocery budget. The seeds I started back in November are still feeding me come January , and saving the green onion roots to regrow provided me multiple bunches worth of green onion tops to cook with for almost a year! I needed to be reminded by this vid that prepping and frugality is useful at times when you have little choice and shelves are empty.

This is a great video! Ps: save the fat from the pork with which to fry the leftover pulled pork. That's part of the amazing taste of carnitas. I use chaffles to make the tacos.

But mostly pasta, potato flakes, canned applesauce with sugar, canned beans, I think there was milk powder.

The Key is low carbs, perhaps between 20 - 30 grams per day, definitely No sugars (other healthy alternatives), definitely Nothing with white flour, using healthy oils, etc. I'm 1 person but can adapt portions to what you have shown us.

[@KetoFocus]

Omg! That would be amazing! Excellent idea. Love how simple it is too. 😀

[@ebgbjo2025]

I have some pulled pork left over from carnitas I made so now I have something to make with it. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@zensbleexperience3470]

That sounds amazing

[@droopypie]

+ pickles & swiss cheese

[@debrahurtado5491]

'Ta bueno!!

[@karlasanford293]

I agree with Colleen, PLEASE do more of these. Planning meals for just me for the week is so challenging and I am approaching retirement and will need to be very budget conscious.

[@zensbleexperience3470]

These are such great ideas using regular ingredients I think I'll try them all! Great video thank you very much!

[@TingleStormASMR]

So many amazing recepies I can't wait to try! 💖 in case somebody is having troubles adapting to Keto, I definitelly recomment trying to relax while listening to some ASMR videos! Get tingles and set your intention for happier, healthier version of yourself, you deserve it 💖

[@Yayita-lo3oo]

I love your videos! Could you make or show the list at the beginning or end? It will be beneficial to do a screenshot & have it handy.

[@DZ-rl8ut]

Love! This channel. You have amazing speaking style, some channels I have to fast forward thru the chatter, really appreciate the cooking. Thank you

[@jessicamiramontes6105]

Thanks so much for this meal prep! Looking forward to more keto meal prep on a budget videos like this ☺️

[@elizabethmyers2546]

Any ideas on how to budget TODAY? Oct 2023

[@BunnyKramer]

So many terrific ideas here! FYI… you can easily make your own Mayo with oil, egg, & vinegar. Also … cauliflower leaves are perfectly edible! Cook like any green or shred and make into coleslaw to top that pulled pork sandwich 😍

[@amandamann2946]

Love cauliflower leaves, they actually make delicious saurkraut.

[@jodybogdanovich4333]

I haven't watched this yet, but am happy to see this. I am a disabled senior on a fixed income and unable to work even a part-time job to supplement my income, as much as I want to (and need to). Grocery prices are soaring, so I won't expect the $40 cost from a year ago, but I look forward to learning from you on how to eat the keto way on a low budget. Thx from Washington state!

[@DeniseKink.]

Great recipes and meal plan! Doing this next week. Please keep making these type of videos. :)

[@christineplaton3048]

Thank you for getting practical. Budgets are very important for people on fixed income after retirement

[@tishadillard9732]

This is awesome! I used this for meal prep tonight and will enjoy having great meals all week! I live alone so this was too much food, but freezing the extra chicken and pork plus tweeking recipe size. I work 13 HR shifts as a nurse, three to four days in a row, so this is awesome to do ahead. I've been surviving on work days eating weird crap like commercial jerky and cheese sticks... Please do this again!! Thanks so much!!

[@maviscarr1859]

Thank you, Tisha, for your service and sacrifice during COVID. You are a true hero! 🙏🏽

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Hardboiled eggs are very easy too Quarter them, s&p and then dip in mustard or mayo Egg salad Sprinkle w/salt and eat whole Deviled eggs if u wrap in plastic wrap to tote with u Canned tuna, salmon, sardines are all way better than jerky or beef sticks too Nuts & seeds - make Crispy Nuts! Cubes of good cheese u cut up and tote

[@tamarasmith5889]

I'm definitely going to try this $40 thing thanks a lot

[@judymiller323]

I really really appreciate this budget presentation. I live on social security and am always looking for economic meals. I do not own a waffle maker (yet!) but what a wonderful idea for their varied uses ! Again, many thanks and please do some more budget-friendly recipes :)

[@theresecooper3034]

In the spirit of 'making it my own' I use 2 crock pots, oven and stove top - as needed - for a week's work of meals. Don't have an instant pot or other specialty cookers. And I cook only for myself so my groceries may be more varied, but she's really good with her recipes. 😃

[@westpur]

I am very impressed with meal prep and food haul. One thing I always do, is before cooking meat in crock pot or instant pot I sear the meat to add more flavor to the final product. But you kick the whole meal prep out of the ball park !!! WTG.

[@KetoFocus]

Great point!

[@justinlockert5509]

If anyone is thinking how expensive KETO is, look how much you spend eating out, starbucks etc. You will probably save money in the long run. This video is GREAT!!

[@KetoFocus]

That’s so true! We can spend a lot eating out.

[@ravenmoon1165]

I loved the week meal prep. Excellent savings.

[@Sohave]

Wau, this video is a gold mine! I will definatley bookmark it and try some of these budget dishes!

[@phylsands7975]

Awesome meal preps on a pretty decent budget! How about making bbq sauce with keto brown sugar and some orange juice or lime/lemon juice to keep it keto friendly 🙂 and sugar free ketchup.

[@donnacolyer131]

Excellent channel! BLESSINGS YOUNG LADY!!

[@MyDecadentLife]

This was great. Really reminded me to multi-task my weekly groceries! We need to sell our house and not only do I need to save some money I also want to use up a lot of what we have on hand. This inspired me!

[@KetoFocus]

I’m glad you found the video inspiring. Good luck with your move 😀

[@irenemuench7159]

I’m new to keto and found your video very helpful. Food prep of shredded chicken and pork is such a good idea. I tried using my blender for shredding and it worked like magic!!

[@michellespaeth7608]

This was awesome especially since my family lives off Walmart groceries but I’ve been meal planning a month at a time and we pick up groceries 1-2x/month because we live in a rural area. This video gave me some great ideas for April! Thank you so much. If I can keep this theme I can cut our budget by 2/3rds! 👍🏻I’m going to try! My family needs to eat healthier foods for sure. I love to batch cook as well so this inspires me to get back to it! 😁I’m also less afraid to cook Keto for my family (I’m tired of cooking a main dish then all their unhealthy sides) and it’s a budget-buster habit for sure as well as a draw on my sanity. This should help!

[@KetoFocus]

Glad you liked the video! I plan on coming out with more like this.

[@missybrentski6173]

Yay! I was wondering what to prep from my freezer without having to go to the store - IP chicken and pork shoulder it is! So many great ideas here. You are awesome! Thanks!

[@yvonnedelgado7469]

Yes definitely would love to see more of these videos!

[@KetoFocus]

Perfect! I plan some more.

[@heidi4516]

Great ideas when you are on a strict budget. Please share more of these types of videos!

[@KetoFocus]

I have another budget video coming out tomorrow!

[@rhondawills1123]

@@KetoFocus Looks like I'm almost a year behind. I just found you in Jan 2022. This was my first video of yours. Now, I need to search for other videos like this.

[@c8Lorraine1]

Absolutely good advice. Here in Australia, your groceries would cost nearer A$85 so I’ll factor that in. I’ll do a cook then freeze the meals and snacks. Will help me stay on keto. Thank you for sharing this information with us

[@notthatkindofsam]

It’s over $100 in New Zealand but still better than current budget!!

[@mandycameron1512]

I really enjoyed your plan, I am fortunate enough to not have to budget but I did the research for a struggling staff member and boy oh boy was I impressed by you and your ingenuity. I'm from South Africa, a very impoverished country with lots of corruption and therefore many people struggle. The sad thing is they are ruining their health with a high carb diet, which will lead to more heartache later in their lives. Thank you thank you for this wonderful video.

[@KetoFocus]

That is sad. I wish more people would take their health seriously. Glad you are enjoying the videos.

[@illimonty]

This was amazing especially during these times thank you 🙏🏼

[@amylynn9034]

We are just starting to follow a me to lifestyle. These recipes look wonderful! I'm making the egg cups for lunch today. Can't wait!! Thanks for the great recipes!

[@colleenperkins881]

OMG!!! DO THIS MORE, PLEASE!!! The COST involved with keto diet, keeps SO MANY people from living a very healthy lifestyle!!! Seeing it pretty much start to finish like this, on such a tight budget, makes it more realistic for people on a thin budget... THANK YOU!!!

[@marianking1379]

I don't understand ,all you have to buy is meat ,eggs,fish,butter,sml amount of cheese ,olive oil. None of the breads ,cereals,fizzy ,drinks,cakes,biscuits ,sweets etc

[@barbararayburn7673]

No no

[@bodyofhope]

@@marianking1379 yes, but all of things you mentioned for Keto are the expensive things, and the cereals and sweets are very cheap. Food with fat, meat, produce, and dairy is expensive, and food with processed wheat and carbs is super cheap. I'm on keto!

[@slade7354]

@@bodyofhope You nailed it! And all of that stuff is getting more expensive by the week.

[@lindasedillo7268]

Can hardly wait to try this first time I tried keto was extremely hard for me but you make it look so easy with these nice recipes although I don't need eggs so I'll have to use a substitute for that protein thank you so much for these
