Meal Prep For Cheap | Struggle Meals 

Grace Was Here I am here for this

YES! I looked forever to find him alone and see that this is the only place he uploads new vids?

There is a similar channel called budget bytes for this concept

I concur!

Newbie to this.. does this person host other stuff? or just these? cause ...I'm facinated by the host yup

Evelyn Johnson WOW!!!

@Patriot Jefferson that's really easy to make. There's recipes all over the net. Use home made chicken broth if possible, makes a big difference.

@Patriot Jefferson its pretty similar just a few ingredients off

@Patriot Jefferson I can't eat the same thing every day for a week.....

@@Catsface99 If you make all three recipes, you can rotate. Or make a big batch of the recipes you like, freeze some and then you can pull out the soup, for example, after having spaghetti one day, a frittata another day, and so.

Mine is cereal 😂

I think I have about 6-10 eggs on the days I am studying for an exam. Make the yolk runny and you have a "sauce" too with no added calories. Eggs are great for nutrition, taste, variation (scrambled, sunny side, omelette etc) and price

When we dont know what to eat and someone asks, we just call it a "fend for yourself" night and I usually just boil spaghetti and add a random sauce

This show keeps it real!

Hahahaaaaaaa

I'm sorry I find this hilarious 😂😂

OH. We will 😈

That good, eh? Well done!!

This is me 😂

suziequzie yum yes

Prep cook some dried beans, freeze the ones you won't use in 5 days. Way cheaper than canned, and they taste better too.

Ooh

suziequzie yessss

Struggle pig is also murdered, resurrected, and murdered again, all for tastemade's greed for a good intro montage :(

Why else do you think s/he’s struggling?

I was just about to say this!

@Death Omen type in struggle meals and watch all the videos.

I'd slap my mom for a micro planer! Granted she probably wouldn't get me one if I slapped her...

Some good things to remember is that the less packaged/processed something is the cheaper it is, block cheese is cheaper than sliced or shredded. Also always check the sign for the price per unit, two products might have a similar price but one might be a better deal because you're getting a little more product for the same price. And keep a calculator handy so you can keep a running total and don't go over budget.

Mysour I like your profile picture, it’s beautiful! :)

Another great tip is if you're starting out, take 5 bucks out of every week's food budget to either buy a bulk spice or a thrift store cook piece. Within a year you'll have a stocked pantry.

@@lukedodson3267 I take a photo of my shopping list with my phone and then I open the calculator app and keep a running total - I also shop at Aldi's and get about three times more food for my dollar, their prices are amazing. If you've never been to an Aldi's, check it out. You won't recognize any of the brands but I promise you almost everything is as good or even better. Aldi's and Trader Joe's are from the same family, so there's a lot of organic, vegan, non GMO, Fair Trade, etc. kinds of foods and much cheaper than even Walmart. You should also check out what Aldi regulars call the Aisle of Shame (AOS) where they have all kinds of tempting items for much less than large stores. If you're struggling, you need to shop at Aldi's -- bring a quarter for the shopping cart (you get it back) and your own bags. They take debit and credit cards (and cash) but not checks, and no coupons coz everything's so inexpensive.

Always start by taking inventory of what you already have. Decide on meals based on what you need to use up first. The best way to save money is to use what you have and not throw anything out! Next, look at weekly sales. Items on the cover of the store flyer are usually the cheapest: in-season produce, for example. So if you’re doing, say, a stir-fry, choose your vegetables based on what’s on sale. I use coupons, but you don’t have to. Just keep an eye on it as an option. If you can make something you were already going to buy cheaper with a coupon, go for it! Keep an eye on the clearance section too. Sometimes you can find great deals. (But make sure you’re familiar with what a good price is before buying something just because it’s “on clearance.”) Use a calculator to stay on budget. When you can afford to, stock up on things like spices. Don’t rely on using meat in every meal. Other options like beans are a lot cheaper. A bag of rice goes a long way and is so much cheaper by the pound than a box with a seasoning packet. I season plain rice with cumin and oregano. I hope these tips are helpful!

No. Room temp is the time bacteria is most active. Letting your food sit out to cool down only increases the time for bad bacteria to multiply within your food. Back in the olden days putting hot food in the fridge was bad as it would lower the temp of the fridge and put all your food at risk of being at the wrong temp. However modern fridges are much better at temperature regulation and are designed to chill food quickly, so it is much better to simply package foods into smaller containers so they chill faster and refrigerate immediately.

I think dried is a better option if you’re only cooking a portion or two at a time since it lasts so much longer. I get fresh rosemary for Thanksgiving, cooking for a large group, but when it’s just me, I go with the dried.

I like to cook mine a quarter way through. That's just common cents.

Oh that makes Cents.

Don't have any change to cook 😥

@@HTNPSullivan 😂😂😂😂

Yass!!! That's my go to meal.

@@happyfrenchtoast420 Thank god someone's with me on this one lol was getting kind of ronery :P

Same! We just did a video on that. Seriously so cheap!!

I was thinking the same. "Yeah, I can finish that in a sitting..."

5 scrawny people...

I'm watching Scrubs right now and thought i'm hallucinating xD

It's not a snack when you cant afford it. Lol

I made it on Sunday and it tasted good!!!!!!!!!! for lunch the next day and then after that I was too tired to do the rest like soup and frittata even though it was prepped and should have been easy but I'm exhausted and sad with my life a lot of the time so I just shower and sleep and dont eat dinner and then get food at the company cafeteria the next day for lunch bc at the end of the day I have only 1-3 hrs to myself and apparently I'd rather spend it doing nothing/watching videos, but hopefully when I get used to working full time soon/sleeping 6 hrs a day I can figure out things like working out and budgeting cooking time/food smarter.

Same way you fill up the packet drawer... 5 finger discount!

There are stores that have bulk bins and you buy by weight, just as much as you want or need. I don't know if one of those places in my town

Hot dogs and chips lol
