    A few things to note:

    – I am not Gordon Ramsay

    – We each have wildly different diets. I would assume that this diet may not work for everyone. I know plenty of people who choose to refrain from eating meat, gluten, carbs, etc.. At the end of the day, I try my best to consume any type of food in moderation. You may read a study today on how a certain food may cause cancer, only to hear the next week that people who eat that specific food live longer.

    – As my income has increased, I have chosen to expand my food budget to $50+ per week so that I can choose more sustainable, healthier food options.

    – You may have noticed that chicken took up nearly one-third of the expenses in this video. This may be anecdotal, but from my experience, eating less meat can be more cost-effective (and humane). If you choose to forgo meat entirely, make sure you are getting enough protein from other sources.

    Not as many fruits and vegetables as I would have liked. But it’s definitely an eye opener that your lettuce was half the price of what I pay for at my local store. Although chicken thighs are really really cheap.

    Edit: halfway through. Where’d the potatoes and carrots come from 😂 so there’s more to it but I guess the veggies can stay shelf stable for a while

    I suggest grocery outlet bargain market bread in the store is only 1 dollar eggs about 2 dollars and a big bag of fresh spinach is only 1 dollar! You can find some healthy cheap stuff there. And I live in one of the most expensive states in America!

    Everything was going good as a good professional video, had a lot of great tips and ideas to be frugal. But when he started making the eggs and they weren't going on the bagel what they wanted, the bad language came out. I'm not a Miss Christian lady but to be professional bad language is a bad thing. That turns me off

    Putting a set budget on your food is a good way to save money, and keep in decent shape. That's obvious, but the main difficulty is setting that budget, and actually following it.

    This is kind of funny but I had a really small backyard are spend almost $1000 over several years on tubs pumps and filters and I raised fish off of millet that I had growing. It’s about 50¢ per pound of meat. I don’t think growing anything is worth it for budget and space, but aquaculture is definitely worth it for efficient use of space to cost/yield ratio.

    Cheese, sugar, white flour, white rice, onions and nightshades are inflammatory. Poisonous nightshades are tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes and peppers, such as cayenne and paprika. Many people are allergic to shellfish, strawberries and nuts. Fruits and most veggies are very sugary. Sugar content can be found online.
