What $100 Get's You at the Grocery Store Today

What's your favorite breakfast food? For me, eggs!

[@Riandisa]

My favorite breakfast food by far is french toast. It has the creamy custardy eggy flavors which I adore, a light crispiness outside, and it can be enjoyed as is or with syrup, fruit, or nut spreads if you want extra sweetness.

[@TinekeTT]

my favorite breakfast is a some greek yoghurt with fresh fruit. like strawberry's, blueberry's, something like that. i eat it almost every morning

[@s3studios597]

Favorite? Either pancakes or french toast with a smoothie Most common? Cereal because I can't be assed enough 90% of the time, especially at 6-7 in the morning.

[@sarathorsten6936]

These days, homemade chicken sausage patties. I'll have a patty with a soft boiled egg mashed on some toast. So much more satisfying than just eggs or toast.

[@PaulKaryakos0]

@@s3studios597 what if I teach you the best meal prep for breakfast?

10:00 "This is everything I bought at Walmart." Wow, I didn't know you could buy cats at Walmart! Super deal if you got all that food and a cat for $100.

[@rewto5131]

I thought the same when Gandalf was inspecting.

[@edensarnelli9373]

@@rewto5131Man, if I can get Paul’s cat, Gandalf at Walmart. Maybe I need to move to his state. (Which I feel like I remember it being Nevada?)

[@kerenpowell4297]

I'll be honest, when I was in undergrad and buying everything for myself, my choices for groceries were limited to Walmart or Wegmans. I do love Wegmans, but I ended up primarily shopping at Walmart, simply because the majority of the things were similar between the two and it was a hell of a lot cheaper at Walmart. The only thing I insisted on getting at Wegmans was meat, because, at that Walmart, the quality of meat was somewhat suspect. When I couldn't afford to shop at a proper grocery store, Walmart was something of a saving grace.

I think we can all agree that no matter where we shop, the corporate overlords will laugh at us

[@tnn-cj3vy]

great video. it perfectly showcases the differences between the two stores. another idea could be to compare how many meals you can prepare with a certain amount of money versus how many ready-made meals you could buy for the same amount from various places. but you have to use the same ingredients as in the ready-made ones and whatnot

[@rbdesignsnh]

not entirely surprising that Walmart is cheaper, but extremely cool to see JUST HOW MUCH cheaper it was. 19 meals vs 33 meals is absolutely INSANE. unless you are searching for some eclectic thing that Walmart wont have, its definitely the place to shop for those not trying to break the bank.

[@PaulKaryakos0]

Even I was surprised. That is a HUGE savings. Imagine going from 4 to 5 days of food to 6-7 Days of food. That is SIGNIFICANT

[@DucNguyen-bd5ir]

Wow! Seriously ... the amount difference per unit is amazing. Thanks Paul for this type of series.

[@Operation127]

Those cards are awesome, and the montage music was perfect!

[@MapleRhubarb]

I've never shopped at a Whole Foods because they aren't in my area, but I will say that there is an olive oil shortage currently. Between the heat and wildfires (in the US and in Europe) it's killed a lot of the olive harvests the past year or two, so prices are way up.

[@aizukekitsune]

I'd love to see more meal prep videos! I'm struggling with ideas for meal prep for my weightloss journey 😫

[@alextsana9556]

Great video once again. Another idea that i think is good is to see how many meals you can make by buying the ingredients from farmers market and maybe proteins from a butcher. I don't know if it will cost more or else,but i think is a nice idea.

[@maximas95]

Paul who??? what?? why didn't he teleport at the end??????? what is happening? haha

[@nerd_fooddad2997]

Im from Walmart country. Its hard to compare to how cheap they can be. Its hard to find ethnic food or ingredients but its a lot easier to justify spending more that stuff when everthing else is cheaper

[@Suebearish]

Do you try to find equally healthy things at Walmart like organic or preservative free

[@PaulKaryakos0]

Sometimes yes! But the quality at wholefoods is just much higher.

[@venn5510]

how do you pack your meal preps? Fridge or Freezer storage???

[@PaulKaryakos0]

I usually freeze my meats and eat the quinoa etc within 7 days

[@pathoodjoy]

Is chicken breast protein more efficient than legs/thighs? Probably not given the price difference even with the bones/fat, and often the combination white/brown meat is tastier. Those of us who always have to shop on a budget compare more than just cost per store. Some products take more prep time but save lots of money, such as dry legumes versus canned. Taste of fresh lemon juice versus bottled - lots of taste for lots of price. Some of us have always had to make the choice for affordability.Thanks for showing this comparison of the 2 stores.

[@saiyantwan]

it actually is due to it being more lean and less fatty

[@jasonorellana964]

How do you keep the meal preps to last that long for a week? Don’t meals last only 3 days? Do you freeze them? Questions?

[@PaulKaryakos0]

I usually go 5 days without issue. But for this video I did freeze a lot of the protein since I made so much. It was more for the example than anything.

[@Iceycube1404]

When you release the recipe cards do you plan on doing a g and ml version as well as a lb and oz version? Just for international people to use them too :]

[@PaulKaryakos0]

It's not something I have planned but I will keep it in mind!

[@Iceycube1404]

@@PaulKaryakos0 thanks! They look so handy, especially if one has a hard time deciding what to make :]

[@pavelow235]

I noticed you have a bar clamp for the cabinets over the fridge...is that where you keep the cookies and other forbidden sweets?🤣🤣👌👌

[@PaulKaryakos0]

Yep, it's for the Forbidden mouth of Gandalf.

[@yellowrodri55]

Paul I’m a bit late to this but one of my favorite breakfast foods or dishes is eggs or an omelette and secondly anytime when you pull out your custom recipe playing cards I think they are very very cute adorable practical and resourceful for you did you make those or did you buy those or did someone else make those for you and if so how did you guys make them exactly also tell your wife and Gandalf I said hello sir and keep going on with your content take breaks when you need to take care of yourself and your wife and Gandalf and remember to always stay positive safe strong and healthy and be the heroes of your own stories you guys love ya Paul and remember to keep playing with your food sir🧡💛😇😊

[@PaulKaryakos0]

They are something I made! Hoping to release soon. And thank you for the kind words :)

[@Saeda88]

I sometimes cringe at how cheap you can get ingredients over there, but if chicken for 6.50/lb is cheap, that's probably the closest you ever were to prices in Switzerland. Some great ideas for my next meal prep though as always

[@ktvindicare]

6.50 per pound of chicken breast is not cheap. That's just the cheapest you can get at whole foods which is typically more expensive than other major grocery chains. Yea Chef is able to get Chicken Breast at Walmart for 2.60ish a pound.

[@wwoods66]

@@ktvindicare There's a reason it's nicknamed "Whole Paycheck".

[@Nevae_696]

That’s not cheap at all here and it gets worst

[@SazeedSatoshi]

I didn't know Paul's last name So I read his last name as Kratos🤣

[@PaulKaryakos0]

Changing my name

[@jmiasgp]

kind of expected you to give some of those bentos to your neighbours or something so you wouldn't ONLY be eating chicken for like four weeks straight haha

[@PaulKaryakos0]

I 100% just finished the chicken last week.

[@nicholasjia7596]

Not to be rude, but are your previous 2 episodes on this channel a re-upload? Just curious

[@PaulKaryakos0]

They are! I am moving over all of my old cooking content (not anime stuff) to this channel and releasing pure cooking content here.

[@Suebearish]

See the 2 something chicken breasts are not of the quality of the Whole Foods or the Walmart organic

[@PaulKaryakos0]

Whole foods was not organic chicken, it was just air dried.

I assume that someone like that... I think it was a woman who had her palette insured for like 1mil might notice a difference but Us? No.
