IF YOU'RE WONDERING ABOUT THE FOOD SCALE - I originally started using it in the video so I could calculate prices of each ingredient/meal like in my ALDI video but I kept forgetting later on in the week so I just kind of gave up, since I think you can get a sense of the budget through the actual haul for the week but let me know if you guys even care to see the costs of each individual meal because I can try harder to remember to measure things if i know it's something you guys wanna see!

[@shanananabatman]

Meal prices!!!!

[@leaf2576]

i kinda like the cost-per-meal but i'd def forget too if it were every single meal. still it'd be cool for the ones you did weigh

[@yin6177]

For these budget meals, I don't think the cost per meal is necessary.

[@katrinnajasso6668]

Na girl I think u good

[@Dextrious_A]

Yessssss

I love how you show everything you eat even if it isn’t perfectly healthy all the time. I notice a lot of people try to hide or not show what they eat if it’s unhealthy. Thank you for being so real with us and natural. One of my favorite youtubers!

Vegan French toast is hella easy. Almond milk, banana, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, all blended up, then dredge dry bread in that & cook on a nonstick pan. So bomb

[@MissyLeaBeauty]

Paige Noll thank you for the recipe, I will try it!

I mix the red lentil mush into refried beans in my burritos. I found some accidentally vegan "spicy" refried beans and mixed lentils and caramelized onions in and it was super good.

You should make a video on how you make different (pasta) sauces, they always look really good and when I try to make a sauce it always ends up being alright but... ehh. With most things I just randomly throw something together and it's great but pasta sauces are my arch enemy.

[@juicebox7048]

Was in a rut and haven’t been vegan for like over a year... but I told myself I have to go back because I was happier and healthier. Starting to binge your videos again and I’m not 100% there but 2/3 meals are usually vegan now! :-) I forgot how much I loved being vegan💚

[@karabear4640]

I really appreciate you posting about affordable foods for vegans! You do a great job making it look appetizing 😊.

[@leaf2576]

Do a farmer's market one! Could be fun

[@krystalortega9517]

When you make your pumpkin/butternut squash soup...add a little cooked rice, kale/broccoli, and tofu....it actually works really great! you can also add sriracha for an extra kick.

Thank you for blessing my life with content when I need you the most because i've had a really emotional week thank u BLESS U EMILY. And uh wow the flex cup looks pretty cool. Technology is great. What a time to be alive. The suction is always my issue with my current cup because taking it out is a mild struggle so maybe I'll check out this NICE SPON

[@matias8441]

emily! you should totally make a video of a week of recipes made only with an air fryer, i have one but i never use it because i have the creativity of a potato

[@emlyewng]

thats a good idea! for now ill just say to try doing tofu, leftover pizza, toast with toppings, frozen fries/tots, there’s tons more but those are some things i like to use it for

I was eating a mouthful of homemade Chana masala the same time you said you’d make it

I think the smaller containers of condiments like agave and peanut butter you showed would be good for camping or travel. I hate bringing full size things but also hate repacking things into tupperware.

[@savannahgoniteli2685]

@@Izzeaixx Yes they're vegan! and really good! I recommend using an oven or a toaster to warm them up though! I mean personally I like them microwaved too because the texture doesn't bother me so if you're fine with it being softer you could microwave it!

Lil tip: when food starts sticking too much try lowering the heat and letting it cook on each side longer 👍 idk maybe that’s too obvious a statement but just in case lol 😬

At my 99 cent store I found JUST Mayo (vegan mayo). It has been my favorite for my husband and he is not vegan.

[@Mikaylarasmussen]

What you did with the lentils in the soup is actually how many Indian dishes obtain their high protein content. They use lentils in many soups and stews not only as a thickening agent, but also for protein. :)

[@g6556]

I think the reason your french toast was sticking is because the bread was too soft. I usually toast my bread in the oven on a baking sheet until pretty crunchy so that the french toast batter doesn't make the bread soggy. It also helps make it crispy :)

[@heidiSITZPINKLER]

My husband's comment about the menstrual cup: It's like a grenade.

WoW! I live in Quebec, Canada, and our 1$ stores don’t have any fresh or frozen foods... I’m impressed!

[@lindsay8386]

I think the key to vegan French toast is either air fryer or using a very firm/crispy bread like ciabatta. But obviously you were eating healthy and doing it with what you had at this store.

[@emlyewng]

yes i really wanna try it again with like a nice rustic bread tho

You are the cutest lol. So funny. I loved the video! I am not vegan but I totally could be. I am thinking of cutting out dairy. The one thing I think I would miss is mozzarella. I can't eat other cheeses because of allergies and I have tried other vegan cheeses. Do you have any suggestions?

[@tamaraturner6081]

Bruh the dollar tree next to me used to sell mini steaks, and while those aren't vegan, that's as good as it got.

[@kelsiereese1653]

i live in a really small town where there’s only one dollar store and I keep seeing all of these videos where people get so much good stuff from the dollar store and let me tell you, mine does not have any of this

[@emlyewng]

i've gotten quite a few comments like this & it really just depends on each chain & each location.. because I'm pretty sure all the Dollar Tree's in my town just have a snack aisle (mostly chips, candy, & cookies) then a small freezer section of junk food (nothing vegan except like frozen peas lol) but then the 99 Cent Stores usually have a pretty decent grocery store in them. Although it still differs with each one, idk.
