'$40 Per Month / $10 Per Week Groceries (No Processed Food!)'

11:09 Jun 22, 2022 1 1

'I spent $40 and bought enough food for a whole month! Really! I bought all whole foods (nothing processed) so it\'s also rather healthy, and I bought enough so that if you\'re on a 2000 calorie diet, you will not go hungry! In this video, I break down what I bought, how much everything cost, and how many calories each item is. In the next few videos, I will show how a person can cook meals with these ingredients to survive (and thrive) on a very low budget.  This plan is great because you: -only have to shop once per month and your food doesn\'t go bad -meal-prep and batch-cook to save time in the kitchen -feel full and nourished -save money  I went to Winco because you can buy foods at wholesale prices without needing to invest in giant bags of them (yes, you can buy just a teaspoon of curry powder or a 1/4 cup of cornmeal if you want!). Even if you don\'t have a Winco nearby, these items I bought (spices excluded) are universally cheap, so this list will still save you money, no matter where you shop. You might have to spend a little more money up front to buy a whole bag of cornmeal, but you will definitely save money in the long run.  4 bananas  $0.98   400 cal 1.51 lb cheese  $4.65   2,640 cal 1 gal milk  $2.48   2,080 cal 4 lbs cabbage  $1.97   450 cal 2 onions  $0.71   100 cal 58 oz tomato sauce $1.74   400 cal 10 oz spinach  $1.05   100 cal 5 lbs carrots  $2.48   900 cal 60 eggs   $5.10   3,600 cal 48 oz oil  $1.92   12,050 cal 10 lbs potatoes  $2.48   3,600 cal 5 lbs flour  $1.78   8,250 cal 2 lbs whole wheat flour $0.73   3,100 cal 1/3 lb cornmeal   $0.22   550 cal 9 1/3 cups white rice $2.31   6,850 cal .7 pounds popcorn $0.50   850 cal 2 lbs pinto beans $1.56   3,000 cal 1.1 lbs lentils  $0.89   1,400 cal 1 cup peanut butter $0.91   1,500 cal 48 oz spaghetti  $2.68   5,050 cal 2/3 lb sugar  $0.29   1,000 cal 1.4 lb salt  $0.47   0 cal 3 tbs baking powder $0.06   0 cal 2 tbs curry powder $0.17   0 cal 3 tbs Italian seasoning $0.08   0 cal 0.1 lb black pepper $0.90   0 cal 1 tbs thyme  $0.12   0 cal 2 tbs chili powder $0.26   0 cal 1 tbs cinnamon  $0.09   0 cal 1 tbs coriander  $0.03   0 cal 1 tbs cumin  $0.04   0 cal Head garlic  $0.58   0 cal  $39.75 total. 57,870 cal total.  To see the true value of an ingredient, divide the price by the calories and you\'ll get the Cost Per Calorie. (Multiply that final figure by 100 for the Cost Per 100-Calories, since you\'ll be dealing with fractions of pennies otherwise.)  Example: whole wheat flour is about 2.5 cents per 100 calories, whereas spinach is $1.05 per 100 calories. To fill yourself for a day, it would cost you $21 if you ate nothing but spinach, but if you ate nothing but whole wheat flour, it would only cost you 48 cents. So you can see how vegetables are actually quite expensive (even the cheap ones!) when you take feeling full into account. This doesn\'t mean you shouldn\'t eat your veggies, it just means you have to supplement them with cheap things like grains and legumes for balance.
