how much we spend for 3 meals in a day with my husband

[@peter8178]

Hi Grace thanks for the video the food looks great. I don't think that the comment made about hiring or marrying a Philipino was very nice. We marry for love as you did, my own wife has no sight. Best wishes from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

[@livingwithgraceinjapan]

Thank you, Peter. Glad to see your comment.

[@ellena.p.2604]

I was thinking the same thing, because here in Norway many old men have married from Filipine with this kind of thoughts. They started in the 90’s and now many young men also marry from there, but as Grace said because they recognised their talent to be like we usually say “ old fashioned housewives”. But they really are great and I’m glad to learn more from them. And after her answer to that comment I’m not so angry to all this nordmen who bring wife from Filipine 🇵🇭 😁

Hello Grace - your videos are quite interesting as they show about life after retirement. It’s nice to watch what people can do after their retirement. I am 75 years old, and been living here in Canada for 5 decades now. Time went so fast that I didn’t realize it has been 18 years ago that we quit work. I just subscribed today and for sure your videos will surface on my playlist. I am glad to see you’re enjoying life as a retiree. By the way 59 years is not old!!! 😊

[@livingwithgraceinjapan]

Hello and thank you for watching and subscribing on this channel. I made this channel many years ago to save our travel videos. I did not even have the intention to show them in public. But I changed my plan since 2021- during the peak of pandemic and started filming seriously- my husband got ill and I was struggling mentally because of several factors. Financially, we are stable. Mentally, I was struggling. Please watch my future videos ( not for desire to gain views ) but please... share me your thoughts about our situation. I'm 59, I know I'm not that old, but seeing and experiencing things burdened by responsibilities is making me very old. Thank you, Ma'am, for coming and watching.

[@antson49]

@@livingwithgraceinjapan - you’re most welcome. I was intrigued by the cost of living in Japan. Vancouver is one of the most expensive cities in Canada. $15 nowadays will get you nowhere, maybe a burger, fries and a drink or a loaf of bread, butter, and a liter of milk. 50 years ago was well worth it. I am amazed with Japan, maybe one day we’ll be able to return and re-visit Japan. Nice to hear from you and all the best to you and your hubby! Regards, Sonia

Very Healthy diet Grace, i used to watch some other japanese youtubers making cooking, and as a french i a m surpised the amount of salt and sugar they eat, with all the sauces in their preparations, and always ending with snacks, and sugar taste. As a french , i am very surpised , even shocked about it..your cuisine is simple and healthy ! Take Care ♥

Ah I’m happy you said that ypu find rice cooked in a pan is better than in a rice cooker . I’ve always liked the rice I cook in a pot and have never bought a rice cooker . But here we don’t eat so much rice. I think I have rice 2 or 3 times a month . Your egg plants look delicious , I also love them . 😊

Hello, Marie! Like you, I love cooking, too though lately, we cannot eat much like we used to. A small portion of rice or any king of food will make us full.

[@anja8211]

Beautiful, tasty, real food. It's good to work with a budget, it makes you mindful of what you cook and of using leftovers. No waste! The comment about marrying a Filipina is very unnecessary, I'm sorry you have to deal with things like that. Take care.

[@livingwithgraceinjapan]

We live 3 mins. walk from two big supermarkets selling fresh goods so I do not have to drive a car anymore. I do not have to stock in my fridge. I wanted to make a video about "budgeting or anything about how we deal with finances" but avoiding to share any infos about our income because it will trigger those scammers to find me where we are. About that nasty comment about marrying a Filipina, is not new to me. I have seen a lot of those kind on other channels. Only this time, I was the target. He commented. He was intrigued and that I am considering it a positive although I felt annoyed a bit.

Thanks for your work to make this video 😊🙏🏻. From what I’ve seen, in Japan food it’s much cheaper than I thought and much cheaper than in Norway. I have been in Japan this year in February and all my friends were asking about the price. Here in Norway they were saying that Japan it’s very expensive or something similar to our country. I found that it is cheaper from my experience and what I have seen. But how is for locals it’s depends on what their income is. Is it food cheaper in big cities or small villages?

[@livingwithgraceinjapan]

Japan became cheaper for the past few years because of the value of yen has gotten lower than it was 20 or 30 years ago. I myself find it cheaper these days so I challenged to share a video which will make the viewers compare the prices of their country versus Japan's. I live at the center of one big city here in Kanto region and the prices were the ones I shared on the video. I would say Japan is becoming cheaper but the quality of everything, service and commodities have not changed. Japan still offer the best quality of everything.

[@ellena.p.2604]

gayahin ko yung talong recipe nyo, anu ba pede eh substitute sa perilla leaves? NHK channel yan fave channel ko sa cable. nka subscribe din ako nyan sa youtube.

[@livingwithgraceinjapan]

Try mo ang parsely- Italian parsely puwede na siguro. Herb din kasi at aromatic. Yang green perilla or ao-ziso ay isang herb at sa tingin ko, kung may seeds lang ay madaling mabuhay sa atin. Kasi nasa kainitan ng Summer yan at marami ako sa yard right now. Pwede ang parsely. But do not over-cook kasi mas better ang raw nga ng parsely. Are you a girl or a boy? Do you mind if I ask?
