Bobby has changed my family’s life! My son at 3 years old was already reaching for junk because that’s what we were doing. A year later, he’s reaching for whole fruits and veggies and we are all getting nutrition from great food sources. I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned from this channel!

[@Aivlyss]

I love how you live in the gray regarding food choices. Organic vs nutrient dense vs wholesome or harmful ingredients. It's never all or nothing with you, but it's rather on a scale. I really appreciate that. I have given up eating healthy because I didn't do it perfectly thinking all was lost anyway, rather than getting some good nutrition over none. You really changed my thinking, Thank you!!!!

[@Meemee-mo5it]

I agree. At home my son ate a lot of organics but getting out on his own he is going without organics because every penny counts. He figures that it is a season and then he will be able to afford them on his own.

[@patriciabaker3334]

Appreciated a budget friendly video. Buying organic products all the time can be a budget buster so knowing alternatives was very much appreciated. Thank you.

[@amusictherapy.]

I’d love to see budget friendly and healthy hauls paired with recipes! I have been challenging myself to lower the grocery budget, but I also want to eat healthy. So it’s been a challenge. A healthy budget-friendly haul and recipe video would be perfect!

[@RedneckHillbilly-ho9md]

Dave's Killer Bread is absolutely delicious, especially the sprouted grains.

Bagels too. A little pricey.

[@tlpricescope7772]

Too much sugar in that bread. It’s crazy.

[@julissatoledo854]

Hello Bobby! Could you do a video on clean brands of dog dry and wet food and treats please. I have been following all your suggestions for my self but feel guilty about not doing the same for my pups! 🙂

[@thebestthingthatneverhappe6729]

Hi Julissa, I'll try and make it simple for you. Best Option for Dry Clusters- Honest Kitchen chicken and oat or beef and oat Best Options for traditional dry Kibble- Orijen then Acana. Just not the singles for the limited ingredient diet, those were linked with dcm (i read every report) Best Option for Dehydrated- honest kitchen wet food- honest kitchen pour overs, orijen and acana canned food. extras to feed the pups- sardines, egg (no need to cook), blue berries, broccoli on occasion, canned pumpkin, oysters, cooked oat bran if u don't have pumpkin. if u want can also cook lean ground beef 90-93% lean only, 90-93% ground turkey, boneless skinless chicken thighs. I've read 4 books on feeding dogs and prepare my own balanced raw food meals, occasionally cook, and feed everything I recommended here. lmk if u have more questions

[@rebeccascott6268]

I have bought meat that was bad the day after the label date (not always, but it does happen), so I never let it go past that date any more.

I have been binge-watching for over two weeks now, and this video is excellent for me to start getting myself and my family on the right track to healthy eating. My budget is meager, but I decided to start making slight changes wherever I can.

[@Allaiya.]

Thank you for these videos! Lifesaver! I used to just buy frozen veggie meals thinking that was healthy on a budget. But now realize they had a lot of natural flavors & added preservatives. I’m not much of a cook, so your Aldi recipes are so helpful! I tried to buy more organic/less processed food and make my own. I already lost 2-3 pounds within a month without trying or feeling deprived. Would love to see more budget recipes. Really has been invaluable!!

Thanks for posting this video. I'm 63 but have changed my lifestyle to a healthy style. So, your help is much appreciated. Love your videos

Yes please! Budget friendly shopping paired with recipes would be awesome! That is my biggest struggle, trying to eat healthy on a budget!

[@maricelg777]

Can u make a video for someone who r wheat/grain free diet? Thanks Bobby

[@tammyr2966]

Thomas DeLauer and you Bobby have brought so much to my attention! I realize now, I was raised on foods with high fructose corn syrup, when food got more convenient! When I was little we lived in dairy and farm country in Washington state and all our meat, dairy and produce was fresh! We had our own garden and fruit trees and berries- we were thin, healthy and energetic, played outside all the time! Had healthy snacks and then we moved and times were tough and that’s where we had less healthier food options!

[@katedietz3371]

Another tip: Flower’s bakery. My town is very small, but even we have a flowers bakery. They sell Dave’s killer bread for only $2! If you get there early enough in the morning, they’ll even have the sprouted, which Bobby himself recommended the most! The expiration date is only a couple days after you buy it, which is why it’s so cheap, but if you refrigerate it, you can’t tell a difference! Happy shopping :)

Is there a Spanish speaking version of this channel? I'd like to get my mom to watch some of this good nutritional information

[@krysh6196]

I'm not exactly sure why some of the comments here are putting Bobby down! He is the first one to consider prices and he is always trying to advise which stores carry better deals for the same items! The fact that he suggests sprouts or organic breads is because that is the truth of it....they are better for you! Would he suggest it if he personally knew everyone's budget...no. But he is speaking to a general wide audience. Please remember he offers choices. My husband and I have lost (within 2 months) almost 50 pounds strictly because of Bobby and his advice. Yes, we did it but his options allowed us to choose which items we could afford and we went with it. We'd never heard of some of the items! Pure love for Bobby!

[@louisemileo1123]

Costco has good deals on Dhalia organic brown jasmin rice and egg whites, and at my local Nature's Own bread outlet I find Dave's bread for $2 a loaf.

[@Wil_Dasovich]

Do u really think those low quality whole grain products (rice, bread, etc) are healthier than the white, given that the whole grain options usually have higher amounts of glyphosate, arsenic, and lectins? I’m still on the fence when it comes to whole grain vs non whole grain. Awesome video as always! 👍🏼

[@oscueq]

probably best to go with sprouted

[@Nucleric]

Dr Gundry explain why brown rice and brown whole grain bread is bad. It goes bad and rancid, unlike white rice. Brown rice also has lectins. The healthiest longest living people are the Japanese, and they don’t touch brown rice or whole grain bread.

[@maxineblocker9958]

You have to make sure it’s 100% whole grain.

[@karendobbs8153]

@@Nucleric I freeze my bread and use as needed, so it never goes bad. I use quinoa instead of rice, and it’s so good. I like brown rice too, but don’t cook it very often.

[@lessehead]

@@karendobbs8153 Yes! I love quinoa, especially red quinoa. I make it with half chicken broth, half water. It’s so much tastier and more nutritious than rice. I buy multi grain bread with seeds, which I freeze because I hardly ever eat it. Whole wheat bread is no better than white bread. I don’t like the way frozen salmon tastes, so I’m willing to pay more for fresh wild caught.
