You guys deserve way more subs! It's great to see another channel really breaking it down and showing people what can be done and how to do it. I've been at this many years and here are some of my thoughts that might be helpful to other viewers. I make broth, but am also 100% into Better than bouillon paste! I've never seen the not chicken, not beef, caramelized onion or roasted garlic flavors in stores, but I order them online and they're game changers. So delicious. My family could drink the gravy I make with the onion one straight. I also make plant milk at home and have for years. I prefer 2:1 almonds:cashews in mine, but a nut milk machine will pay itself off fast (especially if you drink espresso drinks twice a day like I do). It's also super simple to do in a high speed blender. Making yogurt in an InstantPot is half the price of store bought. Shopping Asian markets is also one of my top tips, not just the international aisle. Beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, tofu, mushrooms, other produce...it's ALL cheaper and a lot of it is higher quality as well. I only actually like the texture of a few frozen veggies (edamame, corn, peas, artichokes), so don't force yourself if you don't like it. Finally, a mention of produce that's consistently priced all year because it's hot house grown or imported is a good idea as well. I mean, zucchini never even gets cheap in the summer where I live because none of the stores ever carry locally grown. On the vine tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, etc. are all consistently priced year round for the most part. I'm disabled and eat like a QUEEN on SNAP benefits (food stamps) alone. I teach people how to do this locally, in person. I've been recommending your channel for awhile now (along with Well Your World and the Esselstyn fam). Keep it up, I'm rooting for you! Oh yeah, just remembered to add that it's super easy to make tortillas!! I do it once a month and I blend cilantro stems into the water for an extra bump of flavor and nutrition. I also make other "stuff" out of masa like pupusas and tamales. You do need a tortilla press though. Have fun!

If you use Impossible or Beyond try subbing part of the product with oat meal. I had one sausage but wanted to make biscuits and gravy so I added the sausage, oatmeal and seasoning. My husband actually preferred it to the all sausage recipe. You can stretch any pre-processed purchases longer.
@CastledarkDweller27Күн бұрын
Great idea! 🎉 I use cheap cans lentils and cheap bags of home brand froz vege mix the same way. No matter what I’m making, if it’s savoury…& is cooked in a pot or pan, like soups, stir fries, stews/casseroles, fried rice, mix for dumplings etc, I ALWAYS automatically chuck in a can of drained brown lentils and 2 cups mixed veges from the freezer, in addition to the recipe’s regular ingredients. (Plus 1 tsp of vege bullion powder, so the extras don’t weaken the overall flavour profile of the dish.) This helps to stretch my meals further, thus making it cheaper, PLUS boosts nutrition! ( Never thought to try it with grains like oatmeal!) Thanks, will try!😊

I spend about 100 a week for a family of three. I’m in the US, so groceries are cheaper here. Grocery outlets are a great place to buy cheap vegan staples. For example, the one near me was selling Earth Balance spread, for 1.50 a container. Obviously it’s not the healthiest thing in the world, but I enjoy it on toast. That said, I would trade higher grocery prices any day to avoid the chaos that’s coming our way on the 20th.
@TastyThriftyTimely5 сағат бұрын
Ooof I can imagine 😞 I do find earth balance pricier here but there’s the “melt” buttery spread that tends to be a little less. We always have some on hand for toast too.

When freezing fresh vegetables, do you have to blanch them first or do you just cut and freeze?
@TastyThriftyTimely5 сағат бұрын
It depends on the vegetable but usually I just cut and freeze. (I’ve read that leafy greens should be blanched but I usually freeze spinach without blanching it). I would guess that more nutrition, texture, and colour would be preserved if you took the time to blanch them first. Things like peppers, beets, corn, onion etc I slice and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once they are frozen (an hour or so) I transfer them to a freezer safe bag or container. That way they don’t stick together.

I'm lucky enough to have ethnic grocery stores nearby, once a month I will stock up on spices such as asafoetida, kala namak, and other spices at a Indian grocer. In addition I'll get bulk tofu and fresh kimchi at a Asian grocer. For day to day stuff I use our grocers app for coupons and app only deals, for example I received a 50% any dog food this week. Other times they have Bogo's or even just free items. In addition my grocer has a Kosher deli and mini mart inside, lot's of good deals on spices, grains and occasionally I'll get a box of Ray's New York Bialys! Great post! Peace and Love, always!

Im fortunate to have an ugly produce stand nearby. They always have large bowls of ripe bananas and other fruit and veg produce for $1 a bowl.. A lot of it is ripe and needs to be used immediately but you can, can or freeze things. This is also a tip buy bulk of whats in season and on sale. Like all chocolate tends to be on sale right after valentine's day. Grow your own herbs even if its windowsill garden. I haven't started yet but making your own tofu or yogurt. i also take the leftovers of canned tomator paste and put them in tablesoons and freese between parchment, mych cheaper than those tubes but just as convenient. I do the same with canned chipoltle.

Re sourdough.. consider learning Ben Starr's method on making/keeping a starter. He opened our eyes about not having to replenish it much and keeping a starter in the fridge. Do watch his more recent video on this first. We don't make bread that often at all but we do make sourdough pancakes more often. Also, you can slice up a loaf of bread, bag it and then keep it in the freezer. Sure helps overeating bread.

Dehydrated vegetables - another tip for saving money. There are a few recipes to dehydrate them in the oven or outdoors in summer. The advantage of the oven would be that it can dehydrate in one day, while in summer it could take two or three days to dehydrate naturally and completely. A main advantage would be the reduced space for storage. Second, saving money when those vegetables are out of season and cost a lot more.

Great tips! Thanks. I make homemade "chicken" seasoning/bouillon and make broth from it when I need it - it also is great sprinkled on popcorn. I also belong to a co-op that orders once a month from Azure (in the US.) Huge savings in bulk items. Another tip - know your prices! Just because one store has it for $5.99 doesn't mean all stores do...or Costco! If you have space in the garage, buy a used freezer so you can store bulk items or all the things already mentioned in the video. It makes cooking ahead and freezing helpful to keep from buying convenience foods for crazy days. Also, you can freeze leftovers to pull out on another day when you aren't tired of them any more.

I have made soy milk for about 7 years. I use 3 ounces of organic soy beans which cost $0.34 to make a quart of soy milk. A quart of WestSoy organic soy milk which I stock for hurricane supplies costs around $2.49 currently. It took 35 batches of homemade soy milk to recoup the cost of my original soy milk machine. I checked the price today on Amazon and the machine is $30 cheaper now. I use a Miomat now, but started with a Soyabella that I passed on to my daughter. An additional bonus is that my milk has twice the amount of protein as WestSoy organic soy milk. I also make hemp milk, oat milk and coconut milk using my blender. A quick way to make any nut milk in a pinch is to blend 2 tablespoons nut butter with 8 ounces water.

I soak my beans overnight, drain, rinse, place in the machine, fill with water to a line, and press a button. The machine does everything then beeps to let me know it's finished. The Miomat will also make creamy or chunky soups.

Great video. Love Flipp. Have used if for years and even when I go visit my mom up north or down in the US, you just change your location. So you can use it wherever you go. Note... I'm in Ottawa and not all grocery stores price match. Make sure to check what your specific store's policy is.

I make homemade oat milk when I am in a hurry. Also with a little planning ahead soy milk: I just soak soybeans overnight, then cook in the instant pot, then freeze the soybeans in one-cup portions. when I need soymilk, just take one cup of frozen (or defrosted in microwave) soybeans to 4 cups water in high speed blender. easy peezy!! And we always batch cook most everything.....saves time and energy ($).....Love your videos.

This is great. I’ve never bought dried soy beans actually so I’m excited to find them and give this a try. I know so many people love using an instant pot for beans (and so many other uses). It seems so handy. (I always end up boiling my pots over when I cook beans on the stove 🤦🏻♀️… the instant pot would probably save me some clean up lol)

Every time I make oat milk, it comes out slimey 😭 Would love to solve that problem, as almonds and cashews are pricey, and buying store bought milk is too.
@TastyThriftyTimelyКүн бұрын
I haven’t found mine to be slimey and that’s a common thing I read before I started making it. The suggestions that I read to reduce the slimey factor were to not let the oats soak in the water at all before blending. Use very cold water. And let the milk strain without squeezing it or manipulating the oats too much to reduce how slimey they get. I use a fine sieve plus a piece of cheesecloth and once the pulp accumulates I try to gently push it around to let more milk through. I still find that I get some pulp accumulating at the bottom of my bottle and the milk doesn’t last very long (4 days or so before I notice it starting to turn) those are my only two little pet peeves so far. I’m curious to hear some tips from others.

i’m from europe and live on my own and I spend between 70-80€ a month in groceries. I also try to buy from local asian stores: for example at the closest supermarket 400g of tofu cost 3,25€ and at the asian store right in front of it 500g of tofu cost 1,40€! It’s also a way to support local businesses and therefore my neighbours. I also try to buy vegetables and fruit at the local market, the prices are similar but usually the people who sell the produce are the ones who are growing them, and they do so just a few kilometres outside the city! i also have a calendar which vegetables in season each month, i’m sure there are many online

Freezer burn definitely changes the quality of the food. I batch cook and tend to eat everything within a week. Things in my freezer are usually used within 2 to 4 weeks. Frozen fruit and vegetables don't go bad as quickly. Canned tomatoes, dry beans, lentils, oatmea, and brown rice are my longest storage items. I have over 30 spices and spice mixes, vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil are my long term pantry items. I go through raw nuts quickly and usually cheaper in the two pound bag. Seeds last longer. Beans and rice are usually cheaper in bigger bags. Sorghum is harder to find in North America, but it is grown here and used for cattle primarily in N.A. Sorghum is more popular in Asia. I find it better for time restricted eating than the other grains. Red and Black Sorghum can be found in some Asian markets. Steel cut oats or oat groats, bulgur wheat, brown rice, whole wheat durum pasta (al dente), buckwheat, and sorghum should all be lowest glycemic than their more processed white flour products. Soaking grains and beans before cooking reduces phytates. Soaking flour (autolyze) before adding yeast helps too. Over cooking raises glycemic index. Refrigerating starches after cooking converts some to resistant starches to lower glycemic index. Adding vinegar is supposed to lower glycemic index too. Sweet potatoes are lower glycemic compared to potatoes.

Great tips! I go through my fridge to see what wasn’t eaten that can be saved by freezing it if I won’t get to it. I also decant a lot of dry goods in glass jars to keeps things fresher longer.

Ah yes I do always wash all the produce skins, ends, stems etc that go into the freezer bag. That way when it comes time to make the broth everything has been washed. You could make broth from boiling whole veggies that have been peeled but I would probably just make a proper soup at that point 😝 keeping some dry goods in the fridge has been helpful for me too. I transfer seeds and nuts into jars (so I can easily see what I have of each) and store them in the fridge to prolong their shelf life 👍🏼

It looks like I'm doing pretty much everything you recommend even down to the veggie broth paste. Here are a few tips. For a stew broth saute celery, onion, a few mushrooms and then high speed blend them with a bit of bouillon, soy sauce, pepper etc. It comes out as a thickened broth so no need to add flour. A dehydrator is amazing for preserving your garden produce and the good deals that pop up in season. Get those monster watermelons, in season, and dehydrate thin slices for the best candy ever! I did three this summer and it might be a bit too much. A pressure cooker is a real energy and time saver for cooking beans. I do them in batches and freeze them in zip lock bags that I freeze flattened so that they thaw faster. Making all your sauces, dressings, etc also saves all that garbage that pre-made products come in. Great video and welcome to the island. I thought I recognized those gorgeous shots of the beaches that I frequently visit.

When I started figuring out how to cook plant based meals I found it really helpful to cook from the blogger “minimalist baker” she has been online for so long so she has so many recipes and tries to work from a pretty small pantry like we do. I found that she tended to use the same ingredients in lots of recipes so once I had those pantry ingredients stocked I could make a lot from her. That’s why I’ve tried to emulate that smaller pantry thinking and have it be possible to make a number of my recipes with the same base ingredients (changing up the fruit and veg). We have a good amount of recipes on our blog but haven’t been around for nearly as long as her and some others. Hopefully focusing on a few recipe creators will help in planning your meals.

@TastyThriftyTimely2 күн бұрын
Without the additives that store-bought options have I don’t leave them for longer than a week usually. Something like the stir fry sauce lasts longer because it’s made out of other pretty stable ingredients like tamari, vinegar, etc. If I’ve added a fresh ingredient into a sauce (like tofu or avocado) I don’t let those sit around for too long and use them up in a couple of days usually. I find them to be so quick to make that I usually make them and use them right away but if you were meal prepping you could do a few days to a week at a time depending on the sauce I think.

I can understand buying local being better for your local economy for sure plus you know that the food is fresher because it hasn’t travelled as far. I do find buying from local farmers is often higher in price for us too. It’s certainly nice to support the local companies and if you’re budget allows for it then that’s great. I do think you have to do what makes sense for your budget though. As far as I’ve learned, the global emissions for shipping food long distances isn’t as high as other industries. Reducing meat intake does far more good for the environment so I think there’s benefit to eating your produce, beans, and spices… however you buy them.

Question: a big difference in cost is buying conventional produce instead of buying organic produce. Do you have a video on how to clean in the poisons off of conventional produce? I've seen a mixture of headlines some saying that works and others saying it does not work.
@TastyThriftyTimely2 күн бұрын
I don’t have a video like that. I do always suggest washing your produce before cooking with it and I know that you can use vinegar but I usually just use water and make sure to add friction by rubbing the surface of the fruit or veg too. I learned in a recent food safety course that cool water plus friction is suggested over a store-bought fruit and vegetable wash. If your budget allows for it then I would definitely buy organic but it can be much more expensive for sure. I tend to think that eating fruit and veg that isn’t organic is better than not eating fruit and veg at all so if you can’t afford organic all the time then don’t be scared away from conventional produce. Just give it a wash and you can peel the skins away (or the first layer of leaves on a cabbage for instance) and that can help too.

You’re welcome! We appreciate you watching! I don’t have a video on making oat milk yet and someone else just asked the same question. Before I started making it I read a lot about how it can be slimy but I haven’t noticed that with mine so I took some advice from other bloggers and maybe it has really worked! The advice was to not let the oats soak at all before blending them, use very cold water, blend for only 30-40 seconds, and don’t squeeze them through a nut milk bag. Instead I use a fine sieve with a piece of cheesecloth and let the milk filter through on its own. Once the pulp accumulates I just gently move it to the side with a spoon. My only pet peeves with it have been that I still get some pulp accumulating on the bottom of the bottle and I don’t find it lasts very long (about 4 days before I notice it starting to turn).

Of course not made out of soy all the time, women sould consum Tofu made out of soy in moderation because of the phytohormons. But in my country there si a brand wich makes tofu out of chickpeas and a brand that makes miso out of yellow peas. I made the whipped tofu recipe out of those ingredients and it tasts like the real deal. Depending on my weekly soy intake I switch between the original recipe for whipped tofu and my soyfree variantion of it. Maybe you can pickle more, ferment more -it is the biggest food trend for 2025, there will be pickled cucumbers thrown on literally everything-says google -lol. And maybe you can show recipes for simple yeast free breads. THAT would be awesome !

Patronize ethnic markets. Prices are lower, variety is larger and spices and specialty items are far more affordable. Plus you'll find ingredients that even well-stocked grocery stores don't carry. Do your research, of course. Don't limit yourself to one store. It takes more time but shop the ads and load up on loss leaders. I buy canned veg by the case when it's $.39 a can and it lasts us a year. Shop at discount stores. I visit Aldi first and do the bulk of my shopping there for the basics and their 'finds'. And, surprisingly, Amazon. Their own brand is often less than Aldi or store brands and with Prime they deliver all those heavy cans for free. Quality is good, IME and I can stock the pantry for less time, hassle and cost.

Great tips! We don’t have as many ethnic markets where we are now but when we lived in Toronto I loved shopping at a big Asian market called T&T. Such great prices and variety of foods. I’ve never bought food from Amazon actually. Nice to have those cans delivered 👍🏼

No actually! We always travel light so not much room to bring back extra goods (that would be lovely though… I do miss it!)

We definitely miss it! It was such a luxury to be so close to pretty much anything we wanted! But now we are making do with what’s around us and it’s forcing us to make more at home like kombucha, sprouts, etc 👍🏼

Wow ! Single mom with my 11 year old son every 2 weeks. Mostly vegetarian and im bad in grocery. For me it is between 800$ and 1000$/ month 😵💫 Lots of convenience stuf for my son at school and some vegan meat and stuff. Just discover your channel. I need your help ❤

Aw ya I hope we can help with some ideas! I can imagine needing to rely more on convenience snacks as a single mom. We have the benefit of working from home plus lots more flexible time than parents have. Hopefully there might be a few recipes you can slowly implement that can save you some money and if you can make bigger batches and freeze things then hopefully it reduces how much time you spend in the kitchen too. Keep me posted if there are particular recipes that would be helpful for you and I’ll make note of them.

I’m just worried about chemicals from non organic veg
@TastyThriftyTimely2 күн бұрын
Yes it’s tough to know how much of an effect they have. If you can afford organic produce then that definitely seems to be the best option. I do think that eating conventional fruit and veg versus not eating them out of fear of the pesticides is still definitely the way to go. So I just make sure to wash all of our produce before we eat it and you could peel the skins and remove outer layers of greens if you’d like.

I like the plant milk machines for making all kinds of plant milks. I don't worry about B12 because the intestines manufacture it if you have a good gut microbiome. The more you supplement it, the less intrinsic factor you make that lets you absorb the B12. You can actually get a deficiency that way. Meat eaters are just as susceptible to B12 deficiency as vegans. I notice that you both are on the slim side. You probably eat half as much as most people, which saves money also. Eating nutritious foods lets you get away with eating less.

I’m by no means an expert on nutrition but from everything I’ve learned it is advised that humans supplement with B12 as it is not produced by our bodies. Since it is a bacteria it is more present in the intestines of animals because they consume more bacteria from feces etc (their feed is often supplemented with it as well). I agree meat eaters can also be deficient in it but I’ve learned that especially if you are not eating any animal products you should be supplementing with sufficient B12.

@@TastyThriftyTimely To each his own. Many vegans go without it and are fine. Vegans sometimes get ferocious about insisting you need B12. I am just saying that in my experience, you really don't need it.
