Honestly this is pretty good, I've been talking to my parents a lot about learning to spend their money better but they just keep buying expensive food after expensive food, and cooking every single day and wondering why we have no groceries at the end of the month, but this shows that 1 person only needs a little over 100 dollars to eat comfortably as long as they chose the right foods and not spend needlessly, I would personally buy a carton of eggs, and a pack of rice, just make egg fried rice and survive off of that for a couple weeks

[@wilmarkjohnatty4924]

There is a far better way to do this - your diet has too many carbs in it, and almost no protein - the only worthwhile item in your selection is Oats but its horrible the way you eat it. First with Oats. Put some salt, and butter. You dont need much butter if you are going to do a week that will impact the price. For almost free use margarine/oil or golden ray. Instead of those Vienna sausage which is mainly carbs, buy a can of Brunswick Mackerel (i think the tomato version is cheaper) which is like around 15$ in the grocery (

🇹🇹🇹🇹⭐️🌟 GOOD AFTERNOON MR AND MRS T/V, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BUDGET DIET, I MUST SAY LIKE IF YOU BROUGHT, FLOUR, RICE, OIL, BEAN, some vegetables or some fish and cook for yourself it would be healthier and cost effective, just saying, have a blessed and peaceful weekend

[@TrinbagoVibes]

That it would have been, not sure if I would have gotten fish and vegetables with this budget and the plan was to combine some groceries with some bought food

[@naty1012]

Yep

[@shoshanalove]

@@TrinbagoVibes I don't think you would've gotten fish - Ellis food and more just posted a vlog of a small fish for $135. That's alot of money. It seems as a single person, it's better to eat out with those cheap eats. just saying

[@shoshanalove]

A pot of dhal, rice and bhaji with coconut milk and kuchela : ) he would've eaten that every day and THAT"S good food.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

@@shoshanalove wouldn’t have survived even with those cheap eats, well I would have survived but would have been hungry and miserable, lol

[@colleencaezar7015]

I absolutely loved this video idea! It's very eye opening in terms of how some people may have to watch how they spend there money. I remember when I started to work, I would go to the sale isle in JTA C3 to start my grocery shop from there on. Keep it up!

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Thanks Colleen and starting from the sales isle is a great strategy

[@nigelfranklyn4553]

Are you dumb, he didnt factor in him spending x amount of dollars to go everywhere he went for the week ( gas) nor did he run on the average person's work week to show if its truly possible, to buy food sure 100$ can get you a weeks worth of FOOD but survival incorporating EVERYTHING is not 100$... Dont get tied up the economy is bad and this guy is peddling this idea that its fine and we are the problem when really its the powers at be.
