[@alissanemmers3878]

I liked that the food you picked out is simple for students but this had to have cost much more than a normal college student can spend a week. A video with a realistic grocery haul for students would be great!

[@rainbowflower8388]

Alissa Nemmers THANK YOU! I would never even buy all this as an adult! $5 chicken for like 4 drumsticks 🙄

[@fromthestarrs]

yeah, but all of this won’t be gone in a week, so the next week they won’t buy as much since everything won’t be gone

[@stopreplyingtome]

Alissa Nemmers theres a youtuber called quaint housewife and she spends ten dollars for one week for a video. I don’t think it’s filling at all but u can check her channel if u eat as little as her

[@sophiazhang2385]

I think it's because of the currency difference. You can still buy the same thing just cheaper. Although you might not be a student anymore 😅

[@christinat21]

y’all she went to Sobey’s. one of the most expensive grocery stores out there. you can find some, if not most, of these things for cheaper at other grocery stores

[@BellaAtkins]

It annoys me when people think that frozen veggies aren't as nutritious as fresh ones - if anything they're more so, because they haven't had to travel miles leeching goodness! Buy your frozen veggies!!

[@brittanyanderson8769]

I agree

[@selflove428]

I buy frozen veggies I can't afford fresh veggies most of the time.

[@AllesInDunkelweiss]

it really does depend on the veggie though. some freeze well and some don't. by the way, tinned tomatoes are more nutritious than fresh ones.

[@frenchloverstalker]

I always buy frozen broccoli. Its ready to go when I am

[@y4miko]

don't quote me on this, but I am pretty sure that frozen veggies are more nutritious than the "fresh" ones. The frozen ones had to be picked when they were ready before being frozen. But most of the time the fresh ones are picked before they are ready so they won't rot, but this means they didn't have the time to get all the nutrients

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I'm not a student but always on a budget so this is super helpful, thanks for this video!

[@boopadoop658]

Heey just seen quick advice, you should get the produc in the farthest back of the shelf it is the newest😁

[@FinsternisSan]

Another tip is that buying from bulk food stores like the bulk barn or asian markets are cheaper since there's no packaging. packaging is at least 15-20% of the product so if you go in and bring your own containers/bags you save money and excess plastic!

[@jadeduncan4510]

Just so you know things in canada are just more expensive so you also have to account for that.

[@boredoutofherwits]

I'm a student and I really can't afford this...

[@murugraisa7834]

++

[@itsjjamie]

Honestly these videos are so helpful! I'm a full time student who just picked up a pt job. Between classes and work I'm gone from my home about 15 hrs a day 3 days out of the week. I've started making meals to take with me because I can't afford to eat out everyday. All I can say is THANK YOU ❤❤❤

[@sarahh306]

YES TO POPCORN VID! i pop mine in a brown paper bag - microwave for 2:30 and it comes out perfectly :)

[@Iheart2cook]

Most students would not spend this much on a grocery haul. This would have come off better had you shopped at Aldi or Walmart. Healthy ideas, yes, but this gives the wrong impression as far as cost.

[@annaceyq]

Iheart2cook yeah it's expensive...we don't have Aldi’s

[@lalaland2199]

Exactly no college student is going to buy organic groceries. Unless their parents sends them money for that

[@lalaland2199]

And organic doesn't necessitate mean healthier

[@jenniebeez]

These are normal prices in Canada

[@leemahay6742]

Iheart2cook these prices are normal. Canada is more expensive than the US

[@katietegtmeier1782]

I just discovered your channel and I am going back to university soon and this video is exactly what I needed!! Love you and love your channel!

[@annawise9948]

You have great ideas and are inspiring. I have college age children and love to cook so I'm always looking for ideas. Thanks for the wonderful videos! My mom loves watching you as well!

[@christinegonzalez7976]

Yes! A healthy snack video would be great!!!

[@Ayesha_5782]

Yes, to the healthy snack video!

[@thischarminglife5393]

I would love a plane/long flight snack video! I really liked this video... Gives me lots of ideas!

[@okjessicah]

thischarminglife cliff bars are great for airplanes!

[@lauryn1747]

omg yes please

[@StarGuardianKassadin]

-on a budget -spend 10 dollars on some berries PICK ONE.

[@crazy9nic]

i lovewatching and making these vlogs i just got back from bali and i couldnt wait to go do my big grocery haul and stock up on healthy fruits and vegies and other healthy food i love getting and giving others new ideas and also love seeing what other countries eat im from perth australia thanks for sharing lovely xx

[@tedoymisojos]

Another super helpful video. This channel so far is great ♡

[@ng.ta_]

Yesssss!! I want to watch both the healthy snacks and hummus video!!

[@healthyeatingalways]

My number 1 grocery shopping tip is to buy in season. It's the best way to get the freshest ingredients at a reasonable price.

[@brettiscute]

The bulk section is great for rice/pasta/dried beans/spices at cheaper prices. There's also less packaging, and you can get the amount you'll actually eat. Also a good idea for trying new things.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

thanks!

[@amirahhassen3877]

This is so perfect for me right now!

[@thelittlethings678]

Great ideas!! Thank you for sharing😊

[@LittleMew133]

I can't afford this.

[@thenostalchica]

Awesome video, especially since I'm in school! 💜

[@CraziiBunnieSuki]

Thank you! I'm a student on internship but this totally applies to me as well haha. This really helps

[@livinglife321]

Rxbars are so good! I love their wholesome ingredients. I discovered some Rxbars for kids the other day--same ingredients, just smaller. I picked those up for a more of a small snack.

[@kristenandkendra]

I love the idea of this video but I'm in college now and I feel like this amount of food would go bad before I could eat it all. Could you do a video on some type of meal prep/haul for when you are only cooking for one person?

[@frenchloverstalker]

The shelf staples will be good but you just reduce what you buy and prep according to your own needs.

[@mimigilmore1074]

Thanks, HealthNut! Yes, to healthy snacks video!

[@missaliyah]

this was great! thank you for sharing

[@heathershobe3694]

Love your grocery hauls👍🏻 Thanks for sharing, stay you😘

[@lecethsanjuan1886]

Thank you for your videos. I enjoy them. 🎀

[@alishanaaz1426]

Please do a video for quick dinner ideas. Often I come home and get lazy to make something but crave for something hot and fresh. I will really appreciate it. I'm sure it will help many of us who come home late and are so tired once home.

[@xy2565]

Hope you managed to figure out something since this comment post but definitely try meal prepping! Make a huge batch of food on the weekend so all you have to do during the week is heat up your food. If not then frozen vegetable steam packs that you pop in the microwave as well as microwave rice and canned lentils are always so handy as a quick an easy meal!!

[@gabrielasalazar9791]

Hey Nik! I just love your channel, and I’d really like you to prepare a video of homemade hummus and non-fried falafel, It’d be so cool! Thanks

[@MsKarin28]

I use that cereal to make a delicious drink. Take a cup of the cereal, a whole banana, cup of your choice of milk, ice and honey as a sweetener and blend it. Delicious 😋

[@kaijumecha5766]

Thank you for the video, the most budget way to eat as student is to find your favorite restaurant nearby and find a part time job there. Hopefully they provide you lunch or dinner, or maybe both.

[@jillbrandt2223]

I also use reusable bags! They are easy once you get used to them

[@connectingthedots5230]

Thank you for this video, I really enjoyed it:) Please do a video on the hummus recipe. Thank you!

[@naslisntxaij]

Cliff bars are way too sweet for my liking. I'm in LOVE with RX Bars!!!!! Perfect sweetness for me.

[@evchen93]

It´s so confused how expensive vegetables and fruits are in Canada. I love the kind of your videos of preps, recipes and your healthy diet. Greetings from Germany

[@lelayvlogs]

I love the fact that these nutritional goodies were cheaper in your area. I knew this healthy grocery store here in the Philippines named "Healthy Options" but they got really expensive goodies range starts around P500-P600 up which costs approximately 10 USD.

[@weslyne2412]

love the highlight in your hair

[@annabelledonoghue7637]

Love your video. Could you please do a video on snacks & a few months ago you did a picnic video which i loved though i would love to know how you made those rice crispy treats. Thanks

[@MickiMarple]

I wish I had the time to massage my kale

[@hellooutthere8956]

You know times are messed up when you give your food massage but you can't afford one. Lol.

[@abigailhawley2449]

We've been loving popcorn with coconut oil & nutritional yeast! Is that what you use? Would love to see what spices you add in there or a video on healthy snacks!

[@katherinebiancardi7098]

Yes please on a healthy snack video! I'm all about the popcorn :))

[@farahhussain36]

Katherine Biancardi look

[@meganmcgrath5971]

you should look into reducing waste and buying more unpackaged food! it's more healthful to be avoiding bpa in plastic but its also really important to see how we're affecting the environment with our purchasing choices

[@bethanysneary8536]

I would love a homemade healthy snacks video! Hummas, healthy cookies, healthy muffins etc! 😘

[@ericag11]

Would love a popcorn snacks video !!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@katieseder7004]

I feel like this video was made for me😍 I was making my grocery list and saw you uploaded this! Thanks for helping me save money since I'm a poor college student 😂

[@visforvalentina]

a video on prepping for a flight!!! snacks and meals

[@theglamreader]

I live in Wilmington, NC and we have a restaurant here called Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn and they have a cucumber wasabi salsa that is amazing.

[@lanisamedina2297]

Yes healthy snacks video! I love popcorn also.

[@sammyxox3108]

YES please to a healthy snacks video!

[@annas3116]

Hi Nicole I love your grocery haul because I love shopping for food too💕 I usually go every once a week and I want to get everything haha btw love your sweater where did you get it from?

[@rosereed2833]

These are healthy, however I recommend shopping at a combination of places to get better deals: Trader Joes is great for produce prices and for dairy-free options, grocery outlet will have some healthier options for way cheaper, costco is okay and then deals at Safeway or QFC. These foods you could get for much cheaper at the locations above.

[@kheld78]

Hi Nikole! I was wondering which groceries stores you find has a wide range of healthy products for a good price? Love your videos :)

[@isabel2589]

Hey! Please please do the humus video, I'd love to make my own! :) great videos, I love them!

[@lolipopgitu2507]

Even when im not in school or work those i looove watching theme cz i found sametimes are good also in normal day ♥

[@l8dykickass418]

I always check the ounces when I’m grocery shopping. Sometimes companies make their products appear bigger with the containers. I learned all of this stuff in my marketing class lol

[@KatMay]

I love how you geared this towards students :)

[@AllThingsCookingCa]

I'd love to see an actual affordable healthy grocery haul like $50 CAD per week or less with recipes, not a $90 weekly haul.

[@torischerle]

You can get the same things but at a cheaper grocery store, sobeys is always so expensive even there sale stuff, and also check if you local store has a student discount day (we get 10% off Tuesday and Thursdays) also lawblaws is now partnered with shoppers optimum point system so then you get points and get money out of it

[@peachglue]

Go to food basics on Tuesdays(10% off with student ID). The are the cheapest! (Compared to loblaws, sobeys and superstore). The only thing is that their food and brand selection is not as broad as in other stores, but if you are not looking for anything fancy like felix and norton cookies, you should be fine.

[@marriamnabeel1832]

How to get rid of bloating and which food or liquid is best for bloating! video plzzz!!!

[@shreyanegi4539]

Love your haul. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@pajarito2233]

Can you make a roasted red pepper hummus ??? I've been trying to find a good recipe

[@NatalieGennaoui]

I am going to send this to my sister! She is going to an UC next year and she'll need some ideas.

[@youshallnotpassiamyourfath5460]

Love this

[@nocturnalhime22]

I would love to see a hummus video. Great video!

[@kejean12]

When I was in school I had about $10-15 to spend on groceries each week. I ate a lot of PB&J, scrambled eggs, pasta, soup and ramen. There was no fresh chicken or organic anything. One of my faves was frozen mixed veg, pasta, margarine (I couldn't afford butter) and dollar store Parmesan cheese. I could eat that every day - I still eat it but I eat a vegan version now.

[@marieannelisetan1121]

Awesome video!!

[@rachelwells8796]

Tuna is a great, cheap and quick option but please make sure it’s ethical and sustainably sourced!

[@squirrelfamily4126]

I'd love to see a video on humus.... also I'd like to see some good flavor combos of humus to make

[@healthyeatingalways]

What do you find is the best method to having the nutritional yeast and seasonings stick to air popped popcorn. I do mine over the stove with a little coconut oil, but never can get the air popped one to taste as good and to have the seasonings stick.

[@BitesandGo]

Great vid! I also buy always eggs, they are cheap here in Germany haha. I use them a LOT for my LOW CARB wraps.I show how to prepare them in my video :DD

[@jojosysy]

Love you!!

[@bananasandavocados1391]

Loved this !!!can you do a falafel or a middle eastern themed recipe? And gosh Canadian prices are high- you should come to the UK - you'd love it ; organic food is soo affordable 😄

[@hannanator95]

I would love to see a healthy snacks vid!!! 👍👍

[@hannanator95]

And the hummus vid!!! Yaaassss!

[@nicolecorallo2768]

Me too!!!😍🌈

[@JenninKanata]

Yay another Canadian who is doing grocery hauls. I noticed that you went to probably Sobeys with the compliments brand not necessarily the best store to get budget-friendly food I go there to get the sales and go to other stores to get their sales as well. I do find that Sobeys has a lot more healthier convenience type food. All Chicken in Canada has no hormones added. You end up paying more for that brand. You should spend more money if you wanted to get free rage as that's more expensive. It's hard to do organic and budget.

[@barbararussum7283]

usually always!

[@Keundraa.]

Yes please make a healthy snack and hummus video.

[@Persianamir20]

Begs lol so funny how you says bags

[@aliciabazan8102]

Your skin looks amazing!!! Any tips!? I have been having acne on my jaw which is very frustrating because I have never had it before... I am 37 I eat a very "clean " pretty balanced. Any tips would be appreciated!

[@fortheloveofgrey6045]

Acne along the jaw line is usually hormonal related.

[@spicybiscuit88]

I get acne around my chin around my period, but also i used to get it when i ate dairy. Then i drank a little homemade kombucha every day for a month, and it mustve improved my gut health because i can eat dairy all day now with no spots or any other symptoms like brain fog. I generally drink lactose free milk at home but not in cafes etc, and i have normal yogurt and cheeses. Hope you find the solution x

[@abigailr2654]

Try eliminating dairy, gluten, and sugar to rule out which one could be causing flare ups. You could have PCOS which can cause hormonal acne. Simpler tips are to take a 1,000 mg time release capsule of vitamin C daily and put manuka honey on the affected areas as a mask.

[@jordgubb7139]

Perioral dermatitis? Good luck with that, here the same, healthy eater and broken skin 😒

[@tinywitch8677]

any advice for college students who don't have alot of fridge space or alot of time to cook?

[@madziam7893]

Very inspiring🙋

[@elenagoldsborough3734]

May I ask what city you paid 3.23 for sweet potatoes? or did you buy a large quantity? love the video. thanks

[@alexandrapayne4657]

pleaseeee make that hummus video!!

[@thuyjenny7866]

I love popcorn too. pls make a popcorn tutorial vid

[@KyloKammy]

can you do some like lunch / dinner ideas for students? thanks :). i prefer pasta dishes with salad or chicken with salad ideas

[@sydneyparker3478]

Yes! Can you please make a hummus video.

[@jessych3615]

Can you make a veggie chilli video? It's getting cold in the prairies. Would love to see what you come up with.

[@elmshealth6058]

Love this and how you know students love to stay on a budget! We made a parody healthy grocery and cooking haul that hopefully will make you laugh. -ELMS Health

[@tonyacarey4176]

Thank u

2:31 "I am actually oat right now" :P

[@liz-cf2rv]

Can you list the items you bought in description box, next time?

[@ciliawillia9454]

I can so see you with a farm growing your own veggies and chicken 🐣farm. Have you ever seen Joanna & Chip they have what's called Magnolia Market I can see you doing that 😘

[@torischerle]

Okay for everyone saying this isn't affordable, yes I get your point but lots of these items last more than one week and you can get the same things but at a cheaper grocery store, sobeys is always so expensive even there sale stuff, and also check if you local store has a student discount day (we get 10% off Tuesday and Thursdays) also lawblaws is now partnered with shoppers optimum point system so then you get points and get money out off it

[@areebamallick2849]

please share your air popped popcorn recipe!

[@miasouther38]

Healthy snacks video, please!

[@CDubCan]

Just wondering why you prefer organic?

[@beeblrs]

I was wondering if you notice all the plastic covering the food? There could possibly be a more environmentally friendly option to all this plastic

[@Night_Owlette_30]

Ruby Dean and don't forget that all that packaging is driving the price up.

[@rymleilamellal4466]

OMG THANK YOU ! That's a lot of unnecessary packaging !

[@wildflower4380]

Ruby Dean I was thinking the same thing when I saw the cucumber. Such a waste.

[@corinejimenez8460]

Can you make a falafel video ? I seldom take meat to eat for lunch and I’ve been searching for an easy falafel recipe. Hope to see one 🤞🏻

[@brandenacey4714]

wow where are you from your shopping is so expensive compared to the u.k ...loving your videos tho ty

[@claudiaotulak9398]

branden acey I’ve seen a lot of comments on this video about that I am from Canada 🇨🇦 aswell and I am just wondering what are the prices In the U.K

[@chloemorris3468]

@@claudiaotulak9398 I live in the UK and I go to Aldi, a bag of kale is something like 60p. And I'm pretty sure a bag of sweet potatoes (about 6 decent sized in each) is less than £1. These prices seem extortionate. The price paid for 2 sweet potatoes, I can get a 500g punnet of berries for considerably less
