@@ananthanarayanan4100 Vegan is a different beast, though, because cheap staples (like dairy and eggs) have to be replaced by more expensive alternatives. At least where I live, those are rather pricey. Same for vegan burgers, chocolate etc, if you want more variety in your diet.

I made each of these meals for my family. I am a 20 year vegitarian, but my wife and 5 kids eat a more typical American diet. After the 3rd or 4th meal my wife offered the kid to get take out one evening. I said we could have another vegan meal. The kids could not decide!! That is a huge compliment.

Not a vegan and I still love and copy her recipes. It’s good for those days where you do want to go full plant based rather than some meat. And since I eat meat twice a week at most (salmon,chicken, and then once every two months red meat), I love it. And you can kind of modify some to add eggs if you want. But they are perfectly fine as is

[@hotfrozenpasta6932]

[@MagicalGirlContractor]

I was ready to complain about this because these videos always do the same: they calculate the price of the meal they make by grams and all that which I think is unfair and counterintuitive. But this? I can tell you were actually making a video to help people with a low budget not just trying to ease the title for views. As you said in places like America there's no way that much groceries amount to 20$ but also this is probably the most realistic and cheapest video. You even avoided using complex machines that not everyone has. Youve no idea how much respect I have for you as a content creator after this video and how happy this video made me and I'm not even vegan. Thanks. I'll try all of these recipes out.

It's always funny/sad to see that other people's budget videos spend more than my everyday grocery budget (under $20 for the full 7 day week). No shade, it is nice to see these for inspiration. I keep a spreadsheet of cost per ounce of my staple ingredients at different grocery stores (applesauce, spices, dry beans, peanut butter, onions, potatoes, etc.); then I figure out the cheapest place to purchase each item. I make one stop at whichever store has the best fresh produce sales that week, and grab some of whatever of my staple freezer or shelf items are cheapest at that particular store. Dry beans and potatoes are where a majority of my calories come in. I'm glad a lot of people dont have to budget this harshly, but I hope this might help someone whether you do or not :)

The soup looks like a perfect week-meal, that is easy to prepare and doesnt require lots of cleaning afterwards, will definitly give this a shot!

Sadia, you’re one of the hardest working people on KZbin. Truly amazing content. Keep it up. 😊

[@yeyatatiana2076]

I'm not vegan but looking for yummy ways to add in more veggies! Thanks for these recipes...yummmm can't wait and easy for my toddler to enjoy as well 😍

[@emmagranger7428]

Thank you so much for these recipes! As a student abroad it's really important for me to try to spend as less as possible on food while still eating a plentiful variety of meals. All of these recipes were extremely delicious. Not only did I love them, but my non-vegan roomate also did and that's always a plus! So again thank you so much for this video and the recipes, hope there will be more coming in the near future :)

[@killersister596]

Oh wow! I will make every recipe of that! Every single one is looking absolutely delicious and I can't wait to try them. Please make more of these videos as they're so inspiring 💖 Love from Germany to our neighbour country Netherlands 🤝🌸

I love this entire channel. I was wondering.... I've completely invested myself into the zero waste life style and when I watch videos like this I get jealous because I can't always make them due to certain ingredients only being available in packaging. I would love to see a vegan channel with some great zero waste recipes.

This is just amazing, it’s so nice that this is low budget. It’s also nice to see that you can basically always add stuff to everything for that extra bit of greens. Here at home we loooove spinach but also the peas is such a smart idea! Definitely saving these recipes! Also going to try out those veggie patties!!

[@m.zahran638]

You are so gifted, talented and inspiring. WOW 😮

Thank You so much for these recipes! You’ve thought me so much in this past year

[@UnaChefenlaCocina]

Your cuisine is fantastic and your vegan food is delicious, my friend is the best for our health, without a doubt, I will stay on your channel and wish you the best

[@khazganinasasara4859]

Definitely budget friendly. Though would cost a little more where am from but it is still budget friendly. Thank you so very much. So excited to get cooking 💖

[@jpfly66]

Yes, I just added it up and it is nearly double here in MN, USA. About 35 dollars. Still very good for. weeks worth of meals!

[@knottyseedling]

Man! Please do more of these, Sadia! I don't need to follow a super strict budget but a lot of people do and I could use any savings I can find as well! Thank you!

[@pritikajaiswal677]

I want your video to never end, it is so soothing ❤️ and the recipes are indeed delicious 😋🤤

[@kimthaelf]

PLEASE do more of these!!! i LOVE it

[@sash5558]

This was such a wonderful video Sadia 💖💖💖 I haven't even watched it yet, but I'm sure that it will be

[@amysweet2973]

Love this video so much! These ingredients are often things I have left over or lying around so it has given me a load of ways to use things up and save money before going to the shops again! Thank you 😊

[@tamarboss390]

Thanks for all the inspiration Sadia! I tried the challenge in Curaçao: everything is a bit more expensive here, especially soya yoghurt. But managed to shop for everything for about 35 euro.
