People will complain about a budget video not promoting organic. I don’t get the luxury of buying organic all the time. Sometimes (but very rarely) I luck out a d can get some organic frozen berries for my son. But most of the time I’m working on $75-$100 a week for groceries for my family of 3. And our “luxury” is we eat whole foods or minimally processed (sometimes processed depending on budget but we try hard not to) foods. So we can’t really eat organic on top. I appreciate this video. People will complain about organic but let’s be honest, you promote it 98% of the time. One video that’s budget friendly won’t kill people and will actually be beneficial for those who are working with a budget but want to learn how to eat healthier!

[@freeinghumanitynow]

Organic produce is relatively cheap to grow. If planting a garden is something you may be interested in, go on some seed sites and do price comparisons to see if it'd be viable for you to just plant an organic garden vs buying from the store. Things like strawberries and blueberries are super cheap to grow.

It's simply b/s marketing unless your supermarket is right next to a fishing port. Seafood spoils quickly. It's impossible to transport it across country or around the world without it being frozen.

[@megan893]

I've been doing alright spending about $350 for three people a month by buying in bulk, if the price makes sense, from Costco and rationing that into actually healthy portions for my family, then freezing what we aren't immediately eating. Over the course of the last few months, it's actually worked and allowed us to have wider food options. It's also helped me SERIOUSLY cut down on food waste

[@lmddavis7748]

[@TTTHC]

Walmart is good for everyday prices, but you really need to shop around for sales at your local supermarkets. A few of my local markets will do family size chicken breast packets or pork chops for 1.99 a lb.

[@GottaSayIt]

It’s cheaper to catch fish here and send it on a boat to China to be processed and packaged than to do it here in the US. This is part of our problems

It’s currently the lowest in the world in the US at 3%. Price Gouging for greed seems to be the main culprit. If you Google it.

thanks for explaining air chilled, but i no longer by grocery chicken because it sucks- u taught me thighs. & other than costco business, i no longer trust refrigeration- in China chicken is frozen at night & THAWED during day so texture sucks. i saw defrosted organic ground beef at Molly Stones, so no longer trust that as costco waygu grass fed patties were the best!

[@leekshikapinnamneni4835]

I don’t know if it’s true or not but I read a book called eating animals many years ago and the water that’s used to chill certain chickens. It’s so dirty that I heard that it’s called fecal soup. Also, Bobby! If you suspect that your meat might be slimy, after taking it home, either return it or throw it away. You don’t want to, salmonella, or something else. Poultry is the dirtiest meat you can buy, and I know that you want to feed the best things to your family especially your little girl, Rose.

You can beat inflation in the voting booth!

[@stephendre2902]

Yup vote blue. So you understand this all happened because of a global pandemic that affected everyone right? And if Trump acknowledged it our handled it better at all he’d still be in office. The US currently has the lowest inflation in the world at 3%. Companies have been found guilty in court with emails from high ups at companies using the pandemic as an excuse to raise costs. The only side that’s trying to actually fight companies from doing this is the left. They even tried to pass a bill last year addressing it and who shot it down? Guess. Republicans. Because they knew it would look good for Dems in upcoming election. So yes we need house, Congress, all of it blue then price gouging bill has a shot. Trump has gone on record saying he wants no laws passed on price gouging.

[@djbvida]

Corporate CEOs set the prices. Corporate greed food industry is to blame.

[@nmaczm2660]

Agreed, while you can vote whomever into the White House, they cannot dictate the prices! Only the greedy corporations set these prices! And as long as dummy ppl continue to buy said goods they will just continue to go on and keep setting prices as such! If you truly want to vote, you vote with your damn wallet folks! Simple as that!

Also, with beef: if you can afford it up front, it's cheaper to get a quarter cow directly from a ranch or farm. 😊

Others have mentioned buying bulk at Costco, I second that emotion along with Smoky Robinson, and I highly recommend a vacuum sealer. I've kept vacuum sealed cheese for over a year, and it's been perfectly fine! In fact, I bought two, 2.5lb packages of mild cheddar at Costco for $4.99 each (on sale, couldn't pass up) then separated them into vacuum sealed packages of about 10 slices each. It lasted us for months and months.

Good video, Bobby! One thing not mentioned about chicken thighs is that thighs have 3 to 4 times the good for ya Omega-3 fatty acids than breasts, which are very high in the Omega 6 fatty-acids that many people eat way too much of. IMO, the only thing the breasts are good for is the skin...I get just skins at my local grocery then season them up and get 'em really crispy in the air-fryer!!! Delicious!!!
