How To Live on $3 A Day | The Final Day!! |

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

One of the best series I watched

[@LifebyMikeG]

+Alex French Guy Cooking thank you friend, I've been loving the new content on your channel and that suitcase table thing blew me away!

[@itzzsevn9660]

Alex French Guy Cooking how are you not verified

[@alaskanaaron486]

Woah you are here I remember watching these who knew u were also a fan

[@ightimmaheadout290]

​@@itzzsevn9660He is now 😊

[@LifebyMikeG]

so glad to hear the glorious feedback on this video, we are working on some ideas, considering taking this series abroad, imagine how to live on $3 a day for a week in different countries!

[@hiiif2470]

+Brothers Green Eats this was awesome! props to ya'll

[@leodipaolo1890]

Awesome idea love the videos

[@ikaliana]

hey I'll be on exchange to Turkey and I'll probably have to make my own meal plans on a budget too. Thank you so much for your series. It's really great and inspiring. :)

[@KelyrinYourSafeSpace]

+Brothers Green Eats YES PLEASE !!!! :D

[@natefisher3308]

+Brothers Green Eats When I saw the first video of this min-series, I was thinking how entertaining it'd be if you guys did just that --- a series where you travel around to different countries with a limited amount of money allocated for food. Spend the days exploring the culture, buying food/ingredients, and then cooking meals that are popular in that particular region. I'd definitely watch that!

[@rissauntitled1050]

Please do this again, doesn't have to be a week, but recipes in general for 1$. Or a series like 5 1$ breakfasts, 5 1$ lunch and so on. Pleaaaase this was so fun and interesting to watch and it's so so helpfull

[@doginasweater.3861]

Rissa Untitled I agree this is a great idea or like five 2 dollar breakfast or five 2 dollar lunchs

[@davidalbee5039]

Yes, can you do this again!

[@kolepruitt5502]

its only a dollar because hes buying in bulk

[@LostBoyAggro]

Things I learned from this series: Buy dry beans Make your own sauces and mayo Egg buns Chick pea croutons Chives are great Banana and egg pancakes and Cabbage beats Lettuce Best of all I've learn to leave my Brooklyn apartment a little more often Never know what I'll find

[@billyg0338]

U need to add a little flour or something be cuz they don't come together and add chocolate chips

[@alessandrosanfilippo5600]

+TheLostBoyAggro Also Steal a lot of salt, honey and sugar.

[@LostBoyAggro]

Alessandro Sanfilippo I should but the only thing I usually take a lot of is Taco Bell sauces.

[@xxxshowxxxstopperxxx]

pancakes from anything

[@Kaalinashi]

You can easily get Salmonella from making your own mayonnaise.

[@ConnorhpzGaming]

I would actually love to see Mike now do the challenge, and see what he does different and stuff, would be very nice!

[@JoeShopper]

Thanks for this series! Some of those meals, after plated, look like $30 meals at a fancy restaurant! For less than a dollar!!! Amazing!

[@ChazEvansdale]

After watching this series I was inspired to be creative, so I made a no-crust pizza chip dip. I had some leftover pizza topping but no breading or tortillas. I chopped up some garlic, onions and mushrooms and put it in the plain pizza sauce, heated that up. I filled a plate with pepperoni and microwaved that for a minute to make it crispy, then cut it into little pieces with a scissors. Then I mixed the pizza sauce to the crispy pepperoni, added some cheese and heated that up. As that was heated up I took a plate and loaded it with whole grain chips that I had laying around. I pulled the sauce out, whipped it up a bit and plopped it in the middle of all those chips. Crispy Pizza Goodness! :) Thanks for the inspiration Brothers Green!

[@NeutralNinetails]

that sounds super great

[@Dowhatiplease]

Sounds so good I'll have to try it 😍

[@djmphoto]

Just wanted to let you know that I discovered your channel through this series and am thankful for it. Your love of food and cooking really shows through and makes your channel not just interesting to watch but also authentic. Look forward to seeing what you do next.

[@LifebyMikeG]

+Dave Murphy thank you good sir, glad that you have found us!

[@lalalandhigh]

New York sounds amazing but I'm in a committed relationship with my room and bed and both of them can't stand to be without me, so I don't think it would work out that well.

[@hayleehaux2458]

Same!

[@GirishManjunathMusic]

The most rewarding of ménages a trois.

[@GeckoHiker]

Yeah, because beds and rooms generally get along well with each other--no jealousy, ever.

[@weetzybat]

lmfao

[@dannasmith2437]

just binge watched all the 7 day challenge vids. great job! i am not a mega coupon person. but i shop so smart. i feed 3 grown men and myself w lessthan 50$ a week w really no extra effort.buy wats on sale if its marked down its mine!

[@MissLettyLove]

Got so inspired by these videos! Instead of going to lunch this afternoon, I got creative & made my leftovers into something new!:) I chopped up cauliflower & added in shredded carrots & cabbage to turn it into a stir fry, added the left over meat to add on top, & we had one egg left so I poached it & placed it top. Needless to say, it was so delicious & I ended up saving $10+! 👍😋🙌

[@Kizzyme]

You know,you are such an inspiration. You are so easy going,creative and fun! Thank you for sharing this with us:)

[@angieonmaui]

Lol, I just discovered your channel this morning and have binge-watched all day! Particularly loved this challenge; proof that you can eat well without breaking the bank! Thanks for sharing your creativity and inspiring us to mix things up in the kitchen!

[@LifebyMikeG]

Glad you enjoyed! More to come !

[@DarwinsBeerReviews]

"And then my roommate had burnt some toast ... I kinda tricked her into burning her toast so then I got to EAT it!" Sabotage is free!

[@crazedcubing1195]

I laughed out loud at that part 😂

[@SingDea]

"Come, but don't come forever..." lmao spoken like a true New Yorker

[@nsane6581]

But he isn't from New York

[@Cyn205]

+Sam Paul where is he from

[@Namanjohri]

+cynthia I think somewhere from philly.

[@nsane6581]

+cynthia yea somewhere from Philly, i think they mentioned it in one of their videos

[@LifebyMikeG]

+Sam Paul originally from Philly, new york for nearly 10 years.

[@snarkygrin4132]

Very cool. Really appreciated your integrity in not having lunch with your brother/agent.

[@GeckoHiker]

I loved his integrity, not having lunch with his brother and agent--just taste testing those condiments like a boss! LOL

[@gigglesmansonn]

o rly same that was kinda cringy

[@calisahardy4845]

I too was impressed by this. For those that would be embarrassed-oh well.

[@arlinamelendez1174]

My son its been doing this since it was published and told me about it and I saw the video and follow it. We have saved a lot of money. Thank you brothers Green.

[@magadoshuz4859]

This is the series that brought me to you guys. Love this series.

[@getmeto5ksubswithnovideos362]

How can you not love this guy he's probably inspired all of us and made us think about the amount of money we spend on food this guy has changed our lives forever

[@JudyZavislak]

I LOVED this series! I could not be more different than you (51 year old wife and mother living in rural Pennsylvania), but I learned a lot from this! Thanks so much!

[@clark_cant]

Thank you for making this and bringing awareness to the possibilities, to what's out there, and of course, to different ways of thinking about food.

[@karanparekh2312]

that last part about "enjoying the challenges" of life.. you just killed it mate! a true inspiration..cheers

[@stephaniehuff5228]

It's sad that the challenge is over. But, what a wonderful experience and thank you for all the wonderful new food ideas!

[@Nyabuowy]

"Do you have anything for 22 cents?" 😂😂😂

[@firedata2729]

"Actually..."

[@anonymouss8925]

22c of oil and flour make you a good sope bottom

[@radfoo72]

I was disappointed she couldn't at least bring him some kitchen scraps😒

[@oxphmy]

Thank you so much for making this series. Your Day 1 and Say 2 videos were the first ones I had ever seen from you guys, and I was instantly hooked. I've been watching your videos since the first day I discovered you. Thank you for inpiring me to see thing in a new light. This particular series has made me think about doing the same thing, so when I go to college (maybe in NYC!), I won't starve. Thank you so much. You guys are great and so inventive.

[@melowmedia]

The end of the video was awesome man. You guys got me cooking for the first time in my 28 years of life. Keep up the good work

[@gippywhite]

This whole think was eye opening and amazing!!! I'm sharing them all now that the challenge videos are complete!

[@jofo1274]

Your Mad Max ticket cost more than an entire week of meals 😳

[@NatashaRaisorGlam]

I love this 7 day challenge. You have inspired me to cook. Lately I've been buying tons of healthy food cheap. I've been cooking more in the past month than I have at anytime in my 42 years

[@thespash7391]

I love this guy so chill.amd confident

[@karpone9334]

Just finished this amazing challenge you put together and i have to say this is the most inspiring and awesome thing ever. Keep up the great work and i hope you put another 7 day challenge with new ingredients for 2016. Again you're a total badass for doing this and i plan on taking the challenge myself. You're on to something for sure.

[@Silentgrace11]

You definitely taught me something about living on a budget :) Namely, how to buy ingredients with variety in mind. I've easily managed myself on $10-$15 a week for food, but mostly by taking advantage of my patience with food repetition. When I was eating on my own in Japan I basically lived off of rice, tuna, eggs and miniature bok choy. Otherwise I've eaten the same meal of quiche for lunch (pretty cheap meal if you know what you're doing) and fish with a miscellaneous vegetable and grain for dinner for easily two weeks at a time. Filling, healthy and satisfying, but tedious for most people. I'll be working as a paid volunteer for a year (so obviously not much cash), with a roommate who doesn't have much experience in the kitchen, so I've realized that I ought to break my habit lest to save the poor girl from dealing with my repetitive habits ;) This has given me oodles of ideas. I just hope she's willing to try them (and that she likes vegetables :P Haha).

[@juanlandrau4540]

I have to say that I've watched your thanksgiving in an hour challenge and this week long journey and youve inspired and motivated me to start getting in the kitchen and following your tips have really helped. The spinach corn bread was a huge hit. Very encouraging.

[@GatorAidMedical]

This has inspired me enough to leave probably my first youtube comment ever! You guys have really inspired me to think more about the way we cook, the effects of eating out all the time on both our body and our wallet, and definitely given me a good challenge for 2017!

[@ashleyholley2977]

These made me so ridiculously happy, about to start a food blog and it was just the random inspiration I needed. Awesome!

[@kivakarmen8628]

This was so cool. it was a very practical and realistic approach to living life outside of the eagle's nest. Your series should be mandatory for every college student and newly enlisted soldiers. great job! new subie!

[@lisapark2909]

I know I've come to the party 4 years late but I'm really inspired after watching your entire challenge! I'm going to try many of the recipes (experimental) you showed... but besides that, I've been trying to get our food cost down to $100 a month so need a bit of planning but in 2 weeks I'll be trying this challenge for my husband and I... thanks for the inspiration, great content and a sense of humor to boot! Shalom

[@yermama69]

This was an awesome series man! Definitely inspired me to cook healthier and budget my grocery shopping better. Thanks for all the great ideas; got a new subscriber here!

[@jbeezy2193]

[@niklasolleasberg]

Hey Brothers, This is really inspiring. I am a student and alot of my freinds lives on pasta and cheap sausage, but i wanted to prove to them that you can actually live on 3$ a day. So i invited 3 of them to my place and cooked a fine meal for them. They told me that it was the best food that they had eaten for a while. Then i told them that one meal cost me less then 1.5$ to make, they got absolutely flarbergasted haha. Thanks for inspiring me and spreading the art of making good cheap food!

[@bairdey1140]

Satisfying conclusion to what has been a compelling food series.

[@billygray6233]

Egg Tip: If you get a small empty plastic bottle, screw the lid off, you can use the the top of the bottle to vacuum the yolk. Completely separating the egg whites from the Yolk. :)

[@staceykersting705]

Love this series! Here's what I made for breakfast for 2 ppl......2 apples simmer in water few min, add approx 1 cup oats (old Fashioned). Cinnamon and a bit of sweetener, anything else that sounds good....rains, craisins, any kind of berries,or other fruit, canned, fresh or frozen, Tbsp any kind of nuts or peanut butter. Like dessert for breakfast.

[@michaelzborowskyii4668]

i really enjoyed your videos. i am looking forward to adding some of your ideas to my own cooking. i love the concept of eating good food on the cheap. i also like what you said about challenge bringing reward. kudos to you! keep it up.

[@DarkBubbles12345]

It's so great how you guys' channel actually teaches us practical stuff that we can actually cook with everyday ingredients that we have. Not like other channels which have all these super fancy things-not that I'm saying that I don't like those other channels, it's just that it's kinda harder to try to do what they do.

[@karenwilliford1154]

Love the intention, energy, enthusiasm, honesty, joy, playfulness, creativity, and love. I hope to tackle a similar challenge soon while figuring out the nutrient profile of each meal. You had relatively nutritious meals made with such a positive energy that every ounce of nutrient density was presented and absorbed in your body while any 'anti nutrients' were dealt with accordingly. It IS about food quality, but it's as much about energy and you rocked it :) So pleased to have stumbled on you and this challenge!

[@janetruggles6926]

I've had to be creative in my cooking. $900.00 a month, $669.00 for rent, and $60.00 phone bill. I'm lucky, my apartment has a microwave and a refrigerator. And a friend gave me a toaster oven. We don't have stoves. Cooking at times can be a challenge. And living on a TIGHT budget will make you think before you just buy whatever. Now, like you on your challenge, I like to see just how cheap I can cook.

[@kevinnnnn95]

janet ruggles this comment hurts my heart. I just wanna buy you a cart full of groceries and take you out to dinner. It's a shame that we as a country can only give you $900.

[@lifeismusic5529]

Buy a hot plate from Walmart. They’re less than $15.

[@michellebrown5566]

@@lifeismusic5529 dude i doubt she has $ 15.00 to spend on that.

[@someonethinking4237]

60 dollars phone bill? You can reduce that.

[@booklover4330]

Make sure to check different grocery stores out, don't be afraid to stock up on coupons and use them, when needed. Coupons are your friend, and are incredibly useful, for if you're someone who doesn't want to just eat instant noodles all the time. Each state is going to be different with their prices, even if you only buy one bell pepper, one onion, one tomato, that can last you for several days or so, if you cut it thinly enough. The state I live, the grocery stores: Aldi and Buehler's often have great foods for low prices. I normally don't go to Walmart, the prices can be good, but can also get added up super quick, whereas Aldi and Buehler's is often rather cheap with even their meat, at a good price.

[@TheVancouverJatt]

you need to make a similar series to this, and increase the food budget to one of a middle class family in north america. You have had a spike of new subscribers from this series and I think you're on to something here.

[@colleenahoutz]

I loved watching this challenge. You have such a wonderful attitude! These videos really helped me feel a lot better about living off of a budget. Chickpeas are something I'll definitely need to try!

[@BeeinTX]

I rewatch this series every once in awhile for inspiration! Thanks Brothers Green!

[@mirisoji8406]

He reminds me of the human guy from Hotel Transylvania!

[@josephgibson3559]

This guy is soooooo doppppppe, I definitely am going to try this challenge. This was also my first time watching him and I have so many food ideas I wanna try for myself!! Thnx

[@kanymkulova_dinara]

This guy is something else! Something extra and loud but so pleasant to look at)) thank you!!!

[@Mekessa]

This series was terrific. 🎉 Def inspired me to do with what I have. Always obsessively waiting for all the perfect ingredients for a recipe and here u are just going for it 👏🏾

[@stylesgagan]

Man, your agent doesn't buy your lunch?!?!?

[@THOOODAI]

This has been such an inspiring series, thank you.

[@GypsyRebel]

Thank you for posting. I never would have believed it was possible but you actually made some awesome meals!! Very interesting and inspiring!

[@baileykhan1536]

This was such an amazing and inspiring challenge. As a student that lives off ramen and fast food (mostly), you really inspired me to try this out cause seriously even Ramen and crap fast food costs me more than that. Also, your cooking style is simple and fun and not like those fancy ass meal by other youtubers that I only watch but never attempt. Awesome job dude! Subscribed! And yes, New York is indeed one of the best city ever.

[@alexisgono1729]

I love what you did. Truley inspiring. I'll never look at food or shop the same. Thank you for doing the experiment...

[@radfoo72]

"My agent took me to a fancy restaurant where I immediately began pocketing all condiments in sight."

[@camillemichikogica]

I love the idea of this. A budget challenge without sacrificing the quality of food you eat, it's amazing! It makes you eat better food too. Well done and congratulations for making it through. It is indeed inspiring watching the series!! 👍🏻👏🏻😊

[@peteremilkudskjensen9504]

This series has been so inspiring

[@robynpayne3323]

You guys are an incredible inspiration. I've been fasting, and came across one of your videos when I was looking for a recipe. I've never enjoyed cooking so much!

[@barbarajohnson1572]

I'm the 70yr old chick that spent my younger years making the dollar squeek.... Now that we are retired and comfortable we still live as "frugal" with the groceries... not a habit i want to break and still would rather eat MY OWN COOKING:)) Really enjoyed this! As you would say (and my Grands...),,, You Rock:)))))))))) GrammaBabs

[@AnnabelloJones]

This inspires me more than fancy cooking videos, you make cooking great food look so easy!! I'm tempted to eat everything in my cupboards and then try this challenge for a week myself

[@patriciawhite7016]

I made the "egg on a cloud" breakfast yesterday morning and my goodness! It was DELISH! Thanks so much for the idea! This series was seriously the best! Awesome job!

[@emx828]

Thank you for teaching me that I can actually make pancakes out of almost anything (not in a box!) in my kitchen! I got my week's worth of menu from this series. Here's hoping I can be as disciplined as you, Josh. God bless!

[@alib1149]

It's a cool idea. I want to try and Aussie version of this. Our cheap foods are different (eg Bananas are really expensive here) so I think it would be fun. Honestly though I couldn't take the packets. It would just make me feel guilty. I want to try some of your recipes though.

[@MrWiz504]

packets are free

[@DavyWhitezel]

You are such a charismatic and cool person! This series was awesome man. Keep up the good work.

[@melissatrout3981]

I agree! Challenge yourself! Be creative! Be extravagant! Be frugal! Do a little of everything! Combine expensive and cheap! Live!

[@thegoatman62]

My Mother, once taught a course on eating on a budget , she would have enjoyed many of the recipes that you shared in the series.

[@estellefischer-fortney6021]

U are just the best and know how to make people smile :) love your whole attitude to life and everything your about :))))))

[@dylanjones35]

love how the whole week turned out. it was creative and amazing how professional the food looked. thx man

[@jannosls4724]

love this challenge and it has inspired me to be more conscious of my spending...love your channel too!

[@peggyries1891]

Love it! What an inspiration! I also love to cook. My favorite pastime is going to foreign markets, because I'm constantly thinking of things I can make. I'm currently traveling in Europe full-time, so cooking can be a challenge. Thanks for all the great ideas! I'll be searching through your videos next.

[@meitrapatterson2229]

freaking awesome!!! enjoyed the hell out of this!

[@veramorgado5152]

At the end I thought that you are crazy and funny!!! You're very inspiring, loved to watch these videos.

[@sarahwoolever8475]

I so want to try this challenge. I was so inspired by your creativity. Awesome work!

[@Acadian.FrenchFry]

As someone (I'm in my late 40's) who's had to live like this at times, and has been doing this for years, it does change how you see food and wasting it. And getting really creative with what you have, but you took this to a whole other level!!!! I was sitting here watching all your videos on this challenge and just in awe of what you came up with. And I am always cooking like this, getting really creative and doing stuff that seems weird, but it almost always comes out really good. You blew me away! I have new goals!! Your food knowledge is amazing! And mixed with your creativity just mind blowing!!! This is incredible and I saved this whole series because I am coming back to all these and trying some of this (I will have to get more creative working around the high carb count, as I have to limit my carb intake) and I know this will help me by leaps and bounds to come up with new stuff and challenge myself to think more outside of the box than I already do! You are a food genius!!! I'm making some banana egg pancakes tomorrow!

[@squishy_cactus2583]

I love this little mini video series.. I'm a little sad it's over :')

[@braelia2585]

Thank you for all those ideas, I really never explored the beans and chick peas before but not I see you can cook soooo much with those! And the potato+scallions pancake?? Like whaaat that looked so damn good!

[@Psolian]

Clicked on the first episode expecting to see some guy eating cans of processed meat all week, ended up watching the whole series and subbing. What a great series. Loved the food experiments, I'm inspired.

[@mcneese68]

Great series! Definitely gonna try those banana egg pancakes sometime soon cause they looked delicious. The only thing that would've made this better is if you had a list of your nutrition intake at the end of each day's video. That way we could see if you were meeting or even exceeding your daily nutrition goals.

[@EmilyKun]

I like buying the bag of like 80 corn tortillas because its like $3 or less and you can use them for a lot of things. Far superior in texture for dinner enchiladas than flour ones. Stick them in the freezer and they last forever. Cut them up, spray with oil and a bit of salt, and bake them to make tortilla chips :D

[@NavinLuke]

Learned something? I'm about to make every recipe you did during the challenge. All that stuff looked delicious.

[@projex5894]

I've started to think that u died of starvation, 'cause u didn't post the vid for a long time))

[@NeroNORirl]

Hey, i just wanted to say thank you. In these vids you have shown me how to make cheaper awesome food. Now i got egg, milk and potatoes at all time. I had no idea there was so much possibilites with them. Fried potatoes on the pan with oil is SOOOO good, and my new favorite junk food haha.

[@phreakout93]

Ive been thinking of doing something like this for a while but hadn't sat down and thought it out. Definitely gonna do it now

[@kookymunster75]

I really enjoyed this series and am going to start challenging myself to do the same. I lived in Bushwick for a year and a half. Live in SF now but that short time in New York still was the best time of my life!

[@phenomenalwoman505]

This has inspired me to try to shop cheaper.

[@janeschlake2026]

Please

[@mjc42701]

Loved the video's, you speak my heart, I was raised to cook with what you have and make the most of it. No one should eat fast food, unless its ' In and Out Burger'.

If you invented all this yourself, I'm impressed! The green scallion egg pancake is a known dish in China. It is supposed to be made with dough, not batter, but my mom used to make it with egg batter and scallions.
