I SPENT $1 on FOOD for 24 HOURS | LIVING in SYDNEY 2019

[@wywk]

I love how confident and at ease you look talking to the camera esp in the streets!

[@JaniceFung]

haha thanks so much Wendy! i used to get really nervous but then most people just stare and then leave me be lol... so i got used to it :P

Haha he was!

Theres a place called Lentil as Anything in Newtown where you pay what you can afford for food!

[@curiouscharvi21]

oh I love that place!

[@JaniceFung]

Oh! I’ll have to check that place out

[@shannonhight4339]

Here in the States, Panera Bread has the same thing. You pay what you can afford. Within reason. But a bowl of Corn Chowder with a slice of thick bread for a dollar. Ya!!

[@alanlau2637]

As long as you’re happy to share a table with some druggies that just picked up their done down the road

[@Ali-jf6oq]

I can’t stop watching your videos. They are so entertaining and you’re so good at what you do.

[@ChadBarnier]

That guy totally offered you a dollar :O

[@JaniceFung]

I know right

[@summerwinecooler]

He was so sweet to do that! Bless him.

[@JaniceFung]

What did you think of my $1 dinner? If you had $1 to make a meal what would you make?

[@Xeqcme]

Your meal seemed...fine lol. With $1, can't really complain. I'd go for instant ramen. Also egg(s) if possible...I'm not sure where they sell individual eggs though.

[@nuyoo6504]

It's not bad, since you only had $1, if it was $1 a day then I'm sure you would have a lot more options.

[@JaniceFung]

Haha. I was thinking of going down the ramen + egg route but I couldn’t find individual eggs for sale

[@ReadAloudRealm]

A chocolate bar probably 🤣

[@JaniceFung]

@@ReadAloudRealm a snickers?

[@canijustplease]

Should have stayed at Martin place for dinner. The mobile food truck comes around every night there as well as out the front of woolloomooloo pcyc across from the domain and a bit further down the road on cathedral st. If you are really strapped for cash, most community groups/centres feed the homeless and people who are struggling financially.

[@JanushAdabjou]

This is super inspiring!! Love your confidence to just get out there!!!

[@JaniceFung]

Thanks so much Janush!

[@davidkilamon1235]

this is such a good video! Some of my other favourite youtubers did this in other cities, and i always thought to myself that it would be much harder (if not impossible) in our city of Sydney. Impressed!

[@MitchellBPYao]

Already know it everywhere the same

[@stevenchia3080]

Keep fighting for your dreams , even if u fail, it is the trying that would eliminate the regret. From singapore

[@JaniceFung]

Thank you Steven! I’d rather try and fail than live with regrets 😊

[@kingoftech]

Just found your channel on my recommended, subbed! You seem really well prepared to handle a lot more popularity (the Amazon affiliates, Patreon, etc.) so I wish you all the best. P.S. I'm moving to Sydney (from Auckland) as a grad in a couple months; so pretty much joining the corporate ladder as soon as you're leaving 😂 your food videos have been super helpful!

[@JaniceFung]

Thank you so much! And all the best with the move and your grad job! There are so many things I loved about being a part of a grad program that I never really touched on at all in my videos. I genuinely think it’s an awesome way to start any career. All the best :)

[@AtomicShrimp]

What a fun video! Really interested in how you found things for free all over

[@JaniceFung]

Combo of google and I have lived here a long time lol

[@Max-lf4br]

fancy finding you here my good sir!

[@metalmunkey42]

Yeah, freebies are the best! Expos are also a good source. Obviously the food-themed ones are best though often not free entry, but the free or free with pre-registration shows, like the Home Show, Careers, Everywoman, Concious Living Expos, etc will just about always have some free edible stuff like lollies, coffee, cooking demo/product samples, etc :)

[@JaniceFung]

I didn’t know about many of the food themed expos you listed! Thanks Lynne! 😊🙏

[@metalmunkey42]

@@JaniceFung none of the ones I listed are food-themed. Most of the food-themed ones eg Good Food and WIne Show, etc, usually cost, though you can sometimes get discounted tics & 2-4-1 tics with preregistration :)

[@JaniceFung]

@@metalmunkey42 ahh got it :)

[@spicydadjokes4253]

The guy that offered a dollar though! HAHA, im watching your vlogs as i am planning on travelling to straya from Canada. It seems like Ausssies are a polite bunch.

How exciting!!! Where in aus will you be going ?

You can only get free food if you go st. Vincent de Paul or Salvation Army.. the only food you can have buy under $10 is sausage rolls or meat pie,but if you really want to eat a good meal go to the restaurant spend about $20

[@molly-tl-mai]

just discovered you channel recently, enjoying so much watching video about Sydney even i live here and your energy is amazing. keep it up Janice! you just got one more new subscriber

[@william_marshal]

That challenge is easy .... Many times in my life I've gone more than 24 hours without eating or drinking ... mind you I've never tried doing that for a week !!!!

[@lahahaful]

Take it from someone who also lives in Sydney. $1 buys you NOTHING. The fact you've been able to make anything at all is pretty awesome.

[@nuyoo6504]

when you picked up the tin of tuna...I thought it was cat food for a second.

[@JaniceFung]

Lol I guess it can be ? Tho i have to say, the tomato and onion flavoured tuna is my fav kind

[@JP-bi1ke]

Hahahahaha he offered you another dollar 😂😂

I'm from Sydney too and just randomly felt like searching up "sydney food" on KZbin and was surprised to find a bunch of videos and vlogs. This was funny and entertaining to watch. You're really resourceful hahaha. Would be awesome if you could do one of these challenges again! Just subbed.

Thanks so much ! i just might try out another one - lmk if you have any challenges in mind haha

fantastic video :) you did so well :) it shows that it can be done :) i was just wondering please, where the aldi store is that you went too??? I was hoping maybe westfield sydney cbd as our first 2 nights in sydney we are staying at the swissotel, and as we dont have aldi here in tasmania at all, it would be awesome to grab a couple of things close to the hotel :) that we can take on our P&O cruise (the reason we are going to sydney) :)

[@JaniceFung]

That was in Macquarie centre but there’s a woolies pretty close to Westfield sydney too

Hi Janice this is interesting video! You're so genious! 😁 But hiw much money did you spend for the train and bus ? I guess it is more than $1.

Thanks so much mate! Pretty sure I filmed this on a Saturday... so all transport costs should’ve been under $10 all up... I think around $7?

Is it possible to take bus / train / ferry with $1 ? Hmm.. another challenge?😊

[@luannapierce2544]

Janice, I am confused. I thought you spent 95 cents for the Roti earlier.... did I miss you starting another day? I am very much enjoying your videos, this one was just a bit confusing. With the noodles and the ketchup and salt. I guess that left out any other spices you might have had at home. I am with you, I would have looked for the noodle mix packets. Some have veggies in them.

[@jcmeducationstudioportal1994]

Janice you have influences from BuzzFeed and also if I am not mistaken LivingwithBobby

[@failadventuresdna7085]

kinda suck where food is so expensive. Actually it doesn't cost much, its the screwed up labour wages which brings up the costs. In asian countries, food are cheap! For AUD 1, you could eat a meal, or a temple, you can eat for FREE!😅

[@JaniceFung]

Yeah definitely, was in Vietnam recently and the food was amazingly delicious and very affordable. any top countries you'd rate for best cheap eats?

[@failadventuresdna7085]

Obviously if you mention SEAsia, like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, etc. Plenty delicious, cheap & quality food! Papparich comes from Msia!. Less than AUD2, you could have your tummy full! 😂. IYDM, your channel is food or travel channel? Tips, you want to become a successful digital nomad, and earning serious income, you need to plan, or else, sooner or later your channel will grow slowly like many others including mine! 😋

[@JaniceFung]

Haha yeah totally! Love them cheap eats 😊 It’s food and travel focused! And yes.. lots of planning behind the scenes, thanks for tip 😊🙏🙏

I can please do ac$1 College for 1 hour?

[@theothistledon6935]

How cheap can you live in Sydney? Lol "quite" good are key words it means the meal sucked! 😂👍 I'm always interested to see how cheap I could go with meals. I remember a guy years ago who used to buy half a carrot, 1 bean, the smallest chilli, the smallest potato, the smallest amount of veges yet surprisingly he made quite an edible meal for a very cheap price.😂👍

[@davidlang1125]

This was really hilarious except it was tempered by a sense of insecurity and urgency! Just as your notes mentioned it ain’t all fun and games if one was poor. So I’m not gonna ask you to repeat this challenge! Enuff!

[@JaniceFung]

thank you! enuff indeed

[@summerwinecooler]

I'm confused. Didn't you spend 95cents on that lunch? I thought you topped up $10 credit to get that 95 cent lunch? Am I missing something?!

[@JaniceFung]

I got the 10 bucks credit by signing up to the app and then the bc the food cost less than $10 I was able to use the credit and not have to pay for it :)

[@davidlang1125]

Janice Fung yes Costco is famous for their food samples. Just meander around the food section and there will be little stands where you can help yourself to whatever they’re promoting. Some people here in California actually stand there while helping themselves to multiple samples (of the same food!) while chit chatting with the ladies serving them! Shameless!
