You could've gotten some basics and cook! Like small pks of rice, flour,dhal,bhaji,patchoi,hot dogs, etc you could stretch certain things when you cook and even eat the same thing for 2 days lol

That I could of but I did mention I wanted something relatively quick and easy to make…plus I thought it would be interesting to do a mix of groceries and bought food…also I may not have gotten everything you mentioned above at the grocery

More economical grocery choice would make this challenge more efficient. Tin sausage us $4 elsewhere. Also this was my life in UWI 😂

Probably a particular brand of tin sausage but I went with that jerk flavor one, yeah if could have been more economical but wanted a hybrid between bought food and groceries and well groceries that were relatively fast and easy to prepare

@@brendahart5472 if you already had cooking gas then it wouldn’t count, even if you have to replace it, can get the smaller tank, which is around $40 TTD (I’m not sure as I’ve the bigger tank that’s around $165 TTD, but that lasts at least 3 years) otherwise some fry leaves and branches for a fireside, can even create a type of chulha/dirt oven if need be, so you can negate the cooking gas

[@sagi_gailc26]

A week on $100...a pack of lentil, a small pack of rice, a small bottle of oil, maybe corned beef..boiled water drinking. Fresh seasoning (blend and before they raise the price again), split peas. Sigh...I probably went over plus my huzzy picky 🤣🤣😁 Btw you got yourself a new subscriber....ME😁😁

[@MillhouseSpeaks]

Fascinating

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Thanks

[@rick7122]

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

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Nice, yeah I kinda spent it poorly, health wise, but once you set your mind to something, you’d be surprised what you can achieve, plus it’s enjoyable reading comments like this knowing it has peeps thinking about their budget

I did something similar during covid but it was on a lost bet, it was 500 for the month including weekends and it was easier than expected,10 packs of lentil peas for $8 each, a pack of pigtail for $30 and a cheap bottle seasoning for around $20, a packet of ketchup for $7 , 10 packs of 400g macaroni for $10 each and two 2lb bag of flour and that was lunch for a month and it cost $269. For breakfast was a Jamaican evaporated milk that was $5.25 10 of those plus 10 packs of oat for $9 each and a 10lb bag of sugar for $50 for $192.5

@@TrinbagoVibes well even better! LOL! you know what you can eat. I'd like to see how the $$ compares to cutting out the animal products out the budget. Maybe it will prove to be even more cost effective and folks will be encouraged to reduce their animal consumption overall - returning to the days of old when granny used to cook it ONCE a week ,on a sunday! and it was a little piece we got too!! haha! I don't know, it's worth experimenting. I understand veggies are super expensive in trinidad right now due to the flooding - so carefully planning your meals with beans/peas will help the money go further. I'll be waiting with my popcorn :)

[@TrinbagoVibes]

@@shoshanalove I’ve a feeling it will be more expensive, as going healthy normally is, unfortunately…but one of these days it’ll be challenge accepted

[@patricej8896]

Love the challenge. I used to do this but for weekday lunches only.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Now that I can do, lol, thank you Patrice

[@varoonsoogrim]

Your video was awesome bro! I’m not in Trinidad at the moment but watching this made me feel right at home……Now ah feeling for a Doubles wee 😂

[@TrinbagoVibes]

lol, much appreciated and glad you enjoyed them

[@mayspence4871]

Crazy

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Lol

Very interesting challenge, if you could make roti, a small 2kg pack of flour would have been more than enough to make 3 rotis per day , and dumplings on some days. once you have to buy bread that going to kill your budget

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Butter bread ftw, besides I was going for relatively quick and easy food

[@jasongludd998]

This was really good. You earned a sub from me buddy. The oats fir breakfast is a plus. Now imagine if you had really acrioned on your idea and visited the market and cooked a pot of food to freeze and heat every day for lunch. I imagine you could have gotten a little sugar for the oats. But this is a great tip for those who may not have a functional fridge or even microwave because I usually cook my oatmeal on the stove. Excellent content

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Now and again I cook oats on the stove as well, but attempted to do this with a mixture of bought food and groceries instead of strictly groceries and cooking and somehow survived, lol…I greatly appreciate the support

[@amylafon3858]

I love this video,things hard with me sometimes me n my 3 kids live on $30 in ting to eat for at least 2 days!!

[@TrinbagoVibes]

That’s extremely challenging, I pray you get an ease up soon

[@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.

[@marcjugmohan]

Great vid, I really enjoyed it. I felt a little sorry you had to kinda eat the oats so much, I would go crazy with such a monotonous diet but rell props for the amazing effort.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Thanks Marc and I appreciate that wrt the oats…it was rough until I added peanut butter to it Friday night, that was a game changer, abit late doh

[@chanmo1000]

I would like to do a part two on this challenge with you, same $100ttd and include transport in it

[@TrinbagoVibes]

For me that would be instant fail as I work south but live north, lol…even with the $6 PTSC bus, that’s $60 for the week, meaning I’ve $40 to survive 🥲

[@diamondcascadeblackspring7260]

Hi there. Big fan. Old fashioned rolled oats needs to be boiled and not microwaved. They are healthier than instant oats and have a lot more fibre because they are more natural. Instant oats is ok to microwave. Toodles. Keep up the great work. Ah love it!

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Oho, look how I just learnt something, much appreciated for the info DCBS 😁 and thank you

[@farmerbrownorganics1255]

Hossssss this video was real kicks

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Glad you enjoyed it
