Vegan at WALMART on a Budget Part 2

[@vinnypolizzi9452]

I laughed so hard when you said try it out if you're rich 😅

[@unknownwolf4046]

Can't stand just eating vegetables 🤮

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

THANK YOU Chris! These type of videos are so helpful. This Walmart has more selection than the one near me. Showing the labels helps me to know what I'm looking at. Thanks again!🌱💚

[@alainaback6297]

The vegan/vegetarian section in our Walmart is one door wide of the frozen isle... and almost nothing on the shelves is vegan either 😓

[@dawntiefenbach3140]

Same at mine :(

[@DDios-ih9de]

Alaina Back You dont need that processed stuff Buy vegtables whole grains beans legumes Macaronis spaghetti fruits plant milk or make your own tofu is very available Is there a Asian market or neighborhood near you All that CRAP hes showing you.. you can make YOURSELF You can.make your own soy cheese youghart sour cream cream cheese veggie burgers It's endless a lot of possibilities This guy alway promotes PRODUCTS he gets TONS of samples FREE hes got money from merchandise and a book using all these processed foods Which arent so healthy for you All these new Vegans jumping on the fad wagon are getting FAT Trust me I've eaten V most all my life worked as a professional and without a load of these products. Full of salt sugar fat And junk

[@alainaback6297]

Deborah O. In my town we just have Walmart and soon to be dollar store... kinda sucks

[@alainaback6297]

Deborah O. Also like, and maybe I’m interpreting you wrong, why are you being so critical? There is nothing wrong with eating premade meals or frozen food. Sometimes people are the best cooks or don’t have a bunch of cash and it makes life easier. And, if you’re like me, some people have almost no other options.

[@Amanda-jb3ys]

Same here.

[@csawmcgraw]

I've tried all of morninstars products, and gardein. So amazing. the spicy chicken Patty's are a staple in my house.

[@teagoldleaf4137]

1:11 I really appreciate this. I avoid palm for this reason exactly, So thank you 🙌

[@shecklesmack9563]

Can confirm chickpea pasta is very good! Lots of protein.

[@annevelusa722]

I tried the chickpea and yellow lentil kinds. I have the red lentil but haven't given it a go yet. I really liked both, but my omnivore nephew was unhappy with the texture since it doesn't get as mushy (aka overcooked) as standard pasta does.

[@sstag83]

My toddler loves it!!

[@Zenjohnny]

Notice all these companies are changing recipes or making new products that are vegan? Their professional marketers see the trend and are predicting it too take over the market within 5-20 years. Get in front of the curve!! 🌱✌️

[@TheVeganZombie]

Yep

[@ancientnpc]

The even funnier part is that the vast majority of vegans dont even know what rubes they when they fall for this shit. They think the corporate world is turning their way, when all it is doing is exploiting their naivety. Vegan food will dominate the market in 5-20 years?? Are you taking bets?... or just letting the corporations take your money without a fight and without a clue?

[@rn2787]

I know they aren't the best company, but Walmart has good prices. I have lived on foodstamps before and every penny counts. I am glad that there is a source for good prices for those in need and it's great to live as ethical as possible and afford high quality groceries at the same time.

[@ellenhenderson6865]

I'm on food stamps now and agree. I love your comment. I can really make my dollar stretch at Walmart. Shopping there is better since they got self-check out.

[@rn2787]

I really hate the stigma that comes with being poor. Your life is already hard enough you don't need people judging you on top of it. In my city the last time I looked it cost over $15 per hour to live and our minimum wage is $11 and we are closer than most places to a living wage. It's completely unacceptable that we treat hard working people like crap and pay them horrible wages. It's even worse for college students, interns, and many others who can't find a job or can't work fulltime.

[@rn2787]

I wish we had Aldi or something like it. We only have King Soopers, Safeway, Walmart, and other major stores like that. In rural areas it's much worse. Our best store is Sprouts, but I basically go for produce only because everything else is ridiculously priced. Luckily my city is so big and diverse that I can go to ethnic stores and there's savings and really good options for vegans.

[@youngflame1668]

R N where i live people still pay 7.25 and when they try and give you 8 they think they’re really doing something smh

[@annapaulikonis2433]

I absolutely love your channel. I'm new at this vegan eating and you are very informative. Thank you!

[@mary-graceellington4459]

Thank you so much for all you do to make it easier to shop.

[@Janice-sb7qw]

Wow! You are lucky. Live in N.C. and have found Walmarts in college towns have more vegan options but nothing like your selections! You can order online at Walmart and find more, often with free shipping. Thanks!

[@lisaandbeans9645]

I live in NC as well. Yep... I actually find better items at the dollar tree. Wegmans opened in Raleigh and I think one is opening up in Morrisville. Hopefully they will have a better selection.

[@veras5359]

I’ve been contemplating Veganism & learning about it for a few months and watching your videos (specifically in a budget vids) gave me so much clarity.. I’m gonna go for it

[@zenaaubrey2701]

Thank you so much for showing the vegan foods in Walmart. I'm really thinking of going vegan but sometimes you don't know were to start. I hope the Walmart in my area has all these vegan selections.

[@plucktheday6965]

Thanks for helping me out man. You're making a great difference in the 🌏, where it's needed.

[@kierre8938]

My Walmart has a fraction of those options! Nice video.

[@Prairiepagan316]

I have been vegan for over two years and I still learn from your videos. I try to not buy processed food, but sometimes it is good to have a quick option rather then go hungry. Thank you. I really think this helps the new vegans out to see the options.

[@kimberlyknott1282]

I love trying new vegan items, but I still love kale, broccoli, snap peas, onions, and bell peppers the most. I enjoy changing up my options. I just learned Walmart has a plant-based alfredo sauce. fettuccine and plant-based alfredo sauce, thank God, so happy. :)

[@Veggiekins]

Awesome video Chris-my first time realizing oranges could be coated.. wtf! Also, Walmart online has a pretty incredible selection of healthy vegan food items in case you don’t live near a Walmart or your Walmart doesn’t have a good selection.

[@aarondiep]

Veggiekins what so fucking awesome about a video about processed food? What about whole foods?

[@Veggiekins]

@@aarondiep Vegan doesn't mean that you have to eat healthy. I do, and I think it's the best diet for your health (whole food plant based), but for some, transitioning to vegan swaps for what they usually eat is the first step. Anytime vegan food becomes accessible, or easily found somewhere like Walmart, I'm happy about it because 1. not everyone lives near a whole foods or 2. can afford it. I encourage people to approach veganism the way it makes the most sense for them. Also, no need for the language and sarcasm here. All love ❤️

[@aarondiep]

Veggiekins I deserve you calling me out for the language. There are just too many people making videos that can harm people. It’s not an exaggeration when I said if you follow an incorrect diet, it can cause your health to be significantly deteriorated. If people eat the foods he shown, they do much better by eating little meat and lots of veggie. As for the cost of whole foods, no one has the ability to eat more than $2/person per day on beans/rice/potatoes and the rest just spend $3/person per day on fruits and veggie + 0.10 vitamin B12. Who said whole foods is expensive? You can buy everything I mentioned from walmart.

[@Veggiekins]

Cloggo Yoda oh, I assumed you meant Whole Foods market-but I’m with you, I eat whole food plant based myself 90% of the time. I like that there are options though, for people who are just dipping their toes in, or maybe want to opt for a cruelty free version of their fave food. Ideally wfpb for all would be the best! But I know that it’s not the most appealing to all 😝

[@lucida7610]

Honestly this is so helpful, even if I've been vegan for years I tend to look for the same things in the store and stick to them. It's great to know there are all these other options, especially when I'm with non-veg people and their minds are blown when they see I can find stuff to eat anywhere. Love these videos!!

[@annetteleggett9854]

I recently moved to a state that doesn't have an Aldi's, Whole Foods or Trader Joes and as far as I can tell - the town I'm in doesn't have a farmers market, so these videos are very helpful since there is a Walmart here (especially now that I know what to look for).

[@weavingrainbow9063]

what state doesn't have these so I know what to avoid when I'm looking to move?

[@88clubpodcast]

Keep it coming do a breakfast haul

[@moonberry6414]

In my area there is a good bit of vegan food at Big Lots. There isn't any produce but they do have a fair amount of healthy vegan options. I get dates, coconut "chips" and all sorts of dried fruit, nuts and seeds.

[@carinacrowe4591]

The gardein beef less tips are my favorite! I like pan frying them up with some asian inspired sauce to make a "beef bowl". So good!

[@park47878]

Thank you for helpful video. Before watching this, I didn't know how many vegan products are!

[@BrittKatSlat]

Just when I think I won’t, I always learn a lot of new vegan products from you! Thanks, so much Chris!! Have a great weekend

[@loureddish5783]

I’m going to Wal Mart for those burritos! I love that vegan options are becoming available in more and more places. We’re definitely growing 😊

[@taemarieslots8140]

Thank you for these videos I live in a rural area and not to many health food stores sooo much appreciated

[@peggybachler5952]

I have a dairy allergy so I have tried a lot of these non dairy ice creams and to be honest the only one that is good (my opinion) is So Delicious. All others have so much sugar in them it just tastes gross, that and they use almond milk. Cashewmilk seems to tone the flavors down and makes for a more delicious ice cream. More expensive but you get what you pay for. I also watch my salt and sugar intakes.

[@puffygirl2527]

I'm so jealous of your walmart. Ours has only a couple of the specfically vegan products, except of course the produce.

[@philup9864]

I love how you actually talk about bone char and mono-diglycerides in the products and it’s good to know about the Dave’s bread I need to check that out! Subscribed for sure! Thank you!

[@Amanda-jb3ys]

Amy's Pad Thai sooo good!

[@Magelo77]

Thanks for this awesome video. Went to my local Walmart today to try to find a lot of what you showed. Sadly my local Walmart isn't as widely vegan yet. They had the Dave's killer bread I picked up a few. They didn't really have much else unfortunately. Their vegan section was tiny. I get a lot more vegan selection at Shop Rite here in Southern New Jersey. I also managed to find some Newman's Own products, a jar of salsa and some BBQ sauce.

[@TheVeganZombie]

Is yours a super store?

[@Magelo77]

@@TheVeganZombie Yup, it's definitely a super store.

[@03298kjskdjf]

As a member of the working poor, Walmart where I live works fine for me as a vegan. I don't eat a ton of the processed stuff so I don't know if they have a large variety. I stick to the basics and Walmart generally has what I need. The can say the total cost isn't always cheaper than a regular grocery store tho!

[@HosCreates]

Agreed! Being on food stamps sucks and makes it hard. For my two kids they only allow $19 /month with fruits and vegetables yet they allow overly processed cereal only hydrogenated peanut butter and caged inhumane eggs.

[@03298kjskdjf]

@@HosCreates You should convey your observation to your state representative, remind him/her that being broke doesn't mean your an idiot or druggie w kids. In Colorado they give a food card with a fixed amount of money on it per month. It can be used on any food or food-like substance. At least fresh veg is an option. Healthy food should not be exclusive to the privelaged. I'm sorry you struggle to do the best by your kids. Be creative, cook your own food, and be a shining example of what is possible. I try to do this myself.

[@HosCreates]

@@03298kjskdjf I am frugal and creative I buy bulk whole foods when I can. I make all my food. I just think, that if WIC really wanted to help end obesity they would stop backing companies that are unhealthy..pay less for some food pay more later in Medicaid for health care later. In AZ they had more choices you could buy un-hydgrogenated pb , in Kansas they don't among other things. I think the state &gov is just poor on the uptake on actual health.

Amanda H YES!!!!! I always questioned why the hell Wic gives nothing but dairy and inflammatory foods!! Smh

[@SuperCarebear007]

It's quite incredible the amount of vegan products a non vegan grocery store carries nowadays. Although there's no stores here with that large amount of vegan foods, the amount of products is increasing by the day. It's videos and influencers like you that are increasing the awareness and demand for more vegan products in typical stores and not only in vegan speciality stores:) I oftentimes go to a store here called Goodstore that's an all vegan store and they have almost everything you guys have (including a certain lovely vego bar:) but it's always so appreciated and exciting whenever I see the increase of vegan goodies in the typical grocery store (I can walk up and down the aisles for hours just looking for new products. I'm such a nerd haha.) Great video.

[@Linkous12]

Amy's FTW. If you ever get the chance to try their canned chili, it's amazing. Especially the spicy one.

[@fourjhin_cookies]

The Alpha Burrito Mexicali is AMAZING. As someone who went vegan only 3 days ago (still fighting those urges) this is a very savory meal that really itches that meaty/cheesy craving. Anyone know what kind of cheddar cheese they use in it? I'd like to buy it separately lol

[@PapayaJoy]

Healthy Mac & Cheese ish hack. Take the red lentil pasta. Cook in veggie broth.. enough broth to boil it without straining. Something about the lentils and broth where they break down enough to provide a thick cheesy texture yumminess but still stay in tact for the noodle. Add a little ACV and it was delish. Mind you, this happened by accident soooo..😂😂

[@stellaisteeth]

Tip for something like Nutzo, but that doesn't cost all of the money: have your regular nut butter, and add in some seeds and nuts you already have laying about the house. Sliced almonds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, etc. The variety offers you more nutrition than your normal nut butter, and again, hopefully won't cost you as much as buying it pre-made at the store.
