FUN GROCERY HAUL | VEGANS IN THEIR NATURAL HABITAT

Join us for some laughs and see what we get on our weekly trip to the grocery stores. This isn't absolutely everything we eat as we don't run out of everything at the same time, but this is a pretty good idea of an average shop of ours. What did you think of my veggie lunch? Are Canadian groceries expensive compared to where you are?

I love when you both are together on a video, just makes me happy because of how you are. I'd also love to see crystal cooking or please exercise tips or tutorials we can follow. Love you guys. Btw I order my dates online, they are from a bakery supplier and not plump juicy medjool, but they are good and they're cheaper! Just soften before using. (In the UK).

[@Malmsteen708]

Your grocery stores makes me soooo jealous. UK is so hit and miss for groceries I swear, now I feel hungry. Love you guys.

[@lizziedripping71]

You are right. Never even seen tempeh where I live in the UK. You get the freshest, cheapest vegetables you can, when you can !

[@hoxton0932]

Ha was thinking the same and thought it would be so nice to be back in the states for grocery shopping

A really enjoyable video. Love grocery hauls, meals you prepare, your exercise regime. Would love to see Crystal prep meals.

Wowwww, I'm 38 years old and I'm ready to start the vegan diet. Your videos are so awesome and they help a lot. Thank you. Sending a big hello all the way from Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷

[@BlinkinCharlotte41]

99 cents for 100g of beans is ridiculously expensive! You should definitely check out a turkish or arabic store if there is one near you. You'll pay 99 cents for a whole kilo of beans there! I'm soaking 1 kilo of dried beans (garbanzo, black, mung, white,... so much variety in those stores!) every week, then cooking it all at once and freezing it portionwise. Lasts me for a whole week, way cheaper and you're saving all that packaging from the canned beans :)

[@mangomariel]

This is true. Going in dry is the way to go here (sexual innuendo intended) In Norway the cheapest dry legume (which luckily are the red lentils which is my fav) is 1.8 CAD a kilo in the asia stores. It's pretty cheap when you consider the cheapest meat (chicken wings) is 7$ and the avarage meat I guess is 15$ The protein content is usually a little higher in dry lentils then in meat so when people argue vegan diet is expensive. Really it's cheaper, just eat more dry legumes as your bulk. I know it sucks to buy dry and cook chickpeas and some beans for a frikkin HOUR, but you could cook prep it and put it in the freezer like Zera does. And I like to use red lentils cus their cooking time is like 15 minutes from dry and they get really mushy which I like. They are good in smoothies to! I don't really notice much difference in taste between the legumes, but it looks pretty and is fun to mix it up. Also mung beans are best to sprout.

I am literally so surprised at how much they got for so little in comparison to the typical weekly grocery trip!

I've been wondering that too. Like I'm considering going vegan and I want to know more details on cost and how long that food will last them. Like how much for a month of food?

You can reuse the plastic containers. Use them to store other things or maybe some leftovers. A lot of the cans and you can use to start planting herbs and then make a garden in your backyard. Imagine fresh herbs? Man I can already taste it.

[@hicutiecar]

YESSS!! Grocery haul! I love these way more than is normal. I think, for what you guys get and so much organic, that $130US is kind of a steal for two people. I spend about $60 or $70 just for myself--sometimes more--every week. How often do you guys do a shop like this? And how long does that frozen fruit last? My Vitamix was just delivered and I'm dreaming of smoothies and smoothie bowls. And sauces and nice cream and cashew cream and, basically all the things! 😋

[@Simnettnutrition]

We go probably twice a month and do a big haul like this, then for smaller items or things like oats, spices, etc, we get them from the local health food store. The berries last us a week and a bit. We go through them pretty quick!

[@Dennis-mx2wk]

Simnett Nutrition But are the vegetables still fresh after nearly 2 weeks ??

[@samanthahanley1025]

I'm currently wanting to go vegan so I'm loving this! I also love that your canadian, so am I. It's nice to see familiar products and stores! Maybe a video about how you store your items and keep them fresh?

I prefer Snapea Crisps over Veggie Straws..... less fat, half the sodium, way more protein, potassium, though the straws are more addictive.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Less fat in Snapea crisps? I would never have guessed, they are even greasy to the touch. I didn't even look at the nutrition of these, I just had to have them. Lol.

[@bobbiejz8526]

Scarecrow7 I just said up top that I prefer those they have protein which I’m always looking to get it here in there. There’s veggie straws that are just like chips some of them only have vegetable coloring so it’s a little misleading some people think there adding more vegetable then they really do

[@aliwahay]

Really enjoyed this Derek! Lots of fun and interesting to see how you both food shop. Cheers!

I've been there before! I actually bought my own fridge (used) at the current rental we are living at because the fridge here was so tiny. Lol.

[@bobbiejz8526]

Clare Cooling I completely understand when I start I started eating this way I ended up throwing out some things that went bad but I’m freezing up anything I can’t eat right away if it goes soft. I bought two pineapples I had to throw out because they didn’t seem to ripen. They were dark green so I was waiting for them to change color to a golden when I know them to be the best in sweetness. All he did was get soft and I cut into them and they were already passed. It’s a big disappointment but they were only 199 at Walmart but I won’t buy them from there anymore

[@melf800]

Shopping without plastic is really hard. For cucumber or things like cauliflower I sometimes go for the nonorganic, because it’s often only in plastic when it’s organic (why?😭) and when it is produced locally I don’t really care about organic. I’d rather have something non organic , locally produced and plastic free for cheaper than organic food that has been shipped overseas. I don’t know how it is in Canada but I live in the EU and we have good food regulations (pesticides etc) that I trust more than the organic label on mangoes from brazil.

[@lloydchristmas4547]

Great knowledge. My groceries are somewhat like that. I'm working to drastically reduce my processed foods as they aren't so healthy and definitely more pricey than whole foods.
