@billybobjoe2011 9 лет назад

+Fit Men Cook Hi-protein, low-carb meal plan for vegetarians...lol good luck with that

@going2sleep 9 лет назад

Can't go wrong with Costco! Next meal prep should be related to Costco. They have 2 gallon of milk for 4 dollars. Cheap on eggs. Great produce.

@1971MariaC 9 лет назад

+Fit Men Cook Next time purchase bulk organic oatmeal. It's like $1.50 a pound at WF, one of the best buys at WF.

@Red-ob1pr 9 лет назад

Thank you for making this. This is something I am fight with constantly.

Potatoes can last a long time. If they start to wrinkle & grow buds, snip off the buds, & soak in cold water to firm them up. Even if they're not perfect looking doesn't mean they'll still taste imperfect after cooking it. Pan fried with coconut oil, onion, ground pepper, salt, & garlic powder is one of my favorite side dishes. :)

@RayMacksKitchenandGrill 9 лет назад

great video my friend, we have a whole food store here in my city and I only visited one time. well I am persuaded to go back for a second visit because of this video. thank you so much for sharing this awesome video.

@HealthyGroceryGirl 9 лет назад

Great video!! I shop at Whole Foods a lot too and find that sticking with their 365 House Brand is key! Whole Foods pricing for their house brand I have found to more affordable than a lot of other grocery stores!

@vevianvoz 9 лет назад

Great job! One thing i would do differently is buy things like oats and rice from the bulk section. Sometimes its less the 1/2 the price per pound and as you know every penny counts at the end.

@raymeee3797 7 лет назад

Kev, I just love, love, love you and your videos. Not a day goes by that I don't watch you. I've learned so much, and I continue to learn more. Thanks Kev I'm very happy you're here. BOOM!!!

@jamig1 9 лет назад

Like someone else mentioned plan meals based on what food is in season and/or on sale. Also try to use the same food items for multiple meals but seasoned differently, i.e. coconut milk and ginger are good for both Asian and Caribbean meals. Also don't forget the frozen section. I highly recommend you check out Sprouts, I love that place. Extremely great deals all the time. And their double ad Wednesday is great for stocking up.

@gentonic349 9 лет назад

This is a very refreshing and enjoyable vlog series. Keep I the great work man!!

@adrianthomas4163 9 лет назад

You should check out Sprouts. It's like Whole Foods but their prices are actually right.

@TheOneAndOnlyRRR 9 лет назад

+Adrian Thomas - I was thinking the same thing when I was watching this video. Haven't stepped foot back in WF since they opened a Sprouts here.

@adrianthomas4163 9 лет назад

Yep. I only shop there now. Hell even the WF CEO admitted to their items being overpriced.

@bobadrunk 9 лет назад

+Adrian Thomas he said in the video that this was for one of the more premium priced stores lol but thanks for awaring about Sprouts, gonna check it out this weekend

@adrianthomas4163 9 лет назад

Love the video btw! Love all your videos actually! So glad I came across this channel.. just when you think you have exhausted all healthy recipes then "boom" you show up!

@Yahnellie 9 лет назад

That's the Jamba Juice I used to frequent when I lived in Dallas, off of Greenville. It was nice meeting you at HomeGoods a few months back.

@sensai9189 9 лет назад

Thank you so much for the video! Your videos always leave me feeling refreshed and positive. Keep up the great work , you're doing an awesome thing!

@cassiethompson5980 9 лет назад

Awesome video. can't wait for the next video. Thanks for all your hard work.

@fvera901 9 лет назад

Hey Kevin, maybe you should consider the produce your buying and considering if they're in season or not. The most cost effective way to shop , I think, is by purchasing produce that are in season. I'm not sure avocados are in season, however, some might say they are year-round, not all types avocados are year round. i think maybe only the "Hass" ones are. but either way, maybe next time when you shop, put an emphasis on purchasing seasonal produce. Just a thought. None the less, great video! you looked tired at the end, i would be too. Grocery shopping is no joke. Take care Frank from Las Colinas, Irving, TX

@Seabassyum 9 лет назад

I truly appreciate that you made this video! It is extremely helpful and gives me hope that eating heathy can be affordable! So excited to go grocery shopping now hehe

@Will2035 8 лет назад

Next time if you have an aldi in your area you would love it. Your $75 would go a long way. The only thing about it is you have to buy bags which is not bad. The curry meatballs sound good. I hope you cook on this one. I am taking a break to type this. Keep them coming. Jay Jay

@beccabell1850 9 лет назад

I use TVP (Vegetable Protein) for my "meats" and flavor it with all the vegan spice packs at the local store. Also- I use tofu. I get you eat meat, so vegan options may turn you off. I recently turned vegan in March of this year, and not only is my budget less ($150 week for 4 people) but I feel better. I can say that I miss bacon and brats, but all the other fake meats taste great and cost less. Just something to consider. Also, I am not a fan of Pumpkin Spice stuff either- but after work I am finding a Jamba and getting a small one, you sold me!

@Daniela.m. 8 лет назад

Wow whole foods is so expensive. I leave my veggies for the farmers market. I clinched when I saw the price of those bell peppers 5.99 lb. Maybe you can do a Trader Joes challenge 👍💪

@lauracorey7017 8 лет назад

I love love love all of your recipes! I'm so excited to try the macha and pumpkin smoothies I always thought Jamba had a bunch if hidden sugar. did you know you could buy A lot of organic produce at costco! ? cost less and u get more! love my costco! !

@1024specialkay 9 лет назад

@heidieho4470 9 лет назад

@Seanryan2001 9 лет назад

@hammockmonk 8 лет назад

Moral of the story: do not shop at Whole Foods.

@kirstent7332 9 лет назад

Sprouts!! You could get your produce there at least and then go to whole foods or trader joes for everything else. Great video!

@nicholasmoses3305 9 лет назад

I have a question Mr.Kevin How&Where did you learn to cook? How are able to think of recipes? Do you look for inspirational ? does an extreme amount of creativity kick in?

@justaddmusclecom 9 лет назад

Not sure if you have done zucchini noodles yet but those seem like a very cool low carb option, or some Spaghetti Squash pasta.

@Julesdrummerz 9 лет назад

Hello from Australia, Looking forward to the meal prep Vid!

@tinathomas2395 9 лет назад

I would use some more frozen vegetables when u can. They are usually cheaper unless the fresh is in season. sometimes the family packed packages are cheaper than getting directly from meat dept. If you have a Sprouts or Traders Joe's, I would shop there first, then go through Whole Foods for items they don't carry.

@j.jacobs8681 9 лет назад

I love whole foods, but their produce is such a rip off. I think buying seasonal produce is definitely one way to go. Also I think the cheapest day to shop at whole foods is Wednesday when they have the most of their sales. Also, I didn't see you with their coupon book which should be at the front of the store. Maybe buying frozen meat would be cheaper? Just some ideas! Personally I try to get all my produce from the farmer's market. For example, for $20 at the farmer's market I was able to get 2 eggplant, 1 huge sweet potato, 1 spaghetti squash, 1 acorn squash, 1 butternut squash, 8 small purple potatoes, 2 tomatoes, 6 scallop squash, 3 bell peppers, 2 cucumbers, 2 zucchinis, 3 large carrots, 1 onion, 2 apples, and 3 small broccoli heads and all of this was pesticide free. You just can't beat that.

@j.jacobs8681 9 лет назад

Also just because the produce is at whole foods does not mean it is GMO free- some of the produce they sell is that same quality that you would get at any other grocery store. Plus the produce I get from the farmer's market is the best tasting food. Plus it's great to support local farms and businesses. The farmers that I buy from are so incredibly kind and it feels great to support them and know that my produce only came from a farm about 2 hours away! I don't know what I'm going to do when November ends and farmer's markets end for awhile😟

@alexasearth 9 лет назад

I'm going to LA and San Francisco for the first time in one week and am definitely gonna check out Whole Foods! I've never been to the U.S. Any recommendations? :)

@nickseccombe29 9 лет назад

I'm sure the Pumpkin smoothie is dynamite, because it is the season. BUT, there are so many benefits of Matcha. Definitely going for the Matcha...then going back for the pumpkin....and then maybe the peanut butter after a workout!

@JambaJuice 9 лет назад

+Nick Seccombe Hi Nick, we want to send you a gift card to try them yourself. Send us an email at jambasocial@finnpartners.com for more details to claim your prize =)

@emilyloa9390 9 лет назад

I really enjoyed this video i would like to see you try this at another store but at the end show us the meals prepped so we can see what we can make

@andreaskaliks8664 9 лет назад

I loooooved this video! And felt your budget pain! 😖 what I learned to do is buy produce that's on sale. I also get my meat from the butcher, it tends to be cheaper and fresher. Also, don't buy anything precut (the celery) because it's pricey! Buy the whole thing and cut it at home. Buying produce that's in season helps too! I like central market more too, MUCH better prices!

@louveevee7102 9 лет назад

Nice Aussie touch. Empire of the sun are awesome and very cool

@mattjohnlewis 9 лет назад

Thanks for your videos. I love all your nutrition tips but was curious where do you get your workout routines from? Do you have them posted anywhere?

@tinilintantao 9 лет назад

Bro, u drive with earphones on! lol I already got a ticket for that here in Brazil. Anyway, keep up with the awesome work mate, best food channel on youtube!

@1971MariaC 9 лет назад

I love your creativity and passion for cooking. Outside of the bulk section, I rarely shop at WF. Costco and Aldi are my go to stores. At Costco I'm able to purchase 3# bags of organic mixed berries, grass fed beef, and organic chicken with the best pricing around. Go with a friend if you don't have a mini deep freezer to keep your food. Also, my Aldi has a ton of organic and non-gmo produce, as well as organic canned beans, broth, and canned tomatoes. They're owned by TJ's and recently committed to remove MSG, trans fats and synthetic colors from all of their exclusive brand products. If you have one near you, you should check them out!

@Iheart2cook 8 лет назад

This was an awesome eye opening challenge. I have never been in a Whole Foods, but this helped me to see how out of line their prices are. Trader Joe's and Sprouts seem much more reasonable. Seriously, who would shop there? If Kevin struggles to make this work, how is the average Joe gonna do it? I mean...

@Benknowlton 8 лет назад

If you put green onions in a little bit of water they'll grow back, however you have to plant them after two or three times or they'll lose nutrients.

@phet5230 9 лет назад

@MissiSippyMade 9 лет назад

My favorite Jamba Juice to try out would definitely be the Matcha Green Tea one! Love Matcha :) Ally

@NadiaZoe1111 9 лет назад

Kevin that was such a great idea to plan the meal & get the ingredients. For my many years of shopping I never thought of that. Get some rest bro!

@najah7791 9 лет назад

Good job ! A good tip , if you want to save money after you leave , is to download cash back apps! You scan your receipt and get cash back for certain items. Number one apps I'd suggest: Ibotta, Checkout 51 , Snap by Groupon, Berry Cart and Receipt Hog.

@StineLew 9 лет назад

LOVED this! how do you have so much confidence to log in public? i'd get so nervous ! haha

@siempreamor5149 9 лет назад

I can't wait for your coconut curry recipe. It's hard to eat healthy on a budget and I tend to snack on homemade trail mix through out the day. Skipping breakfast and sometimes lunch.😕

@ChelleBear7 9 лет назад

My suggestion would be try to buy only sale items and maybe all organic from a different store or farmers market like you've done in other videos

@priyakumar6697 9 лет назад

Awesome video! Grocery goals!

@aislingoleary9690 8 лет назад

I got even more excited when I heard Kodaline playing in the background!! #hellofromireland #irishmusic4lyf ;)

@tinathomas2395 9 лет назад

I do end up eating the same meals a couple times a week. I alternate the side with the same meat for variety. I have a small apt fridge, so I don't have space to cook something different everyday.

@darylredmond1256 9 лет назад

happy to see another vlog its been a while ☺

@laurenschexnider2799 9 лет назад

Would a head of celery been cheaper than the pre-cut celery? Also,, have you considered filming an episode shopping at a farmers market? Thanks for all your good tips.

@manoharchintapalli1268 9 лет назад

Love your energy man!!!

@Jaydit7 9 лет назад

Whole Foods is a pricey place to shop...there is no store near me. I make do with what I have, and could stretch $75 further, although maybe not "purer". I think you did a great job on the meal-by-meal plan...but I have pantry cupboards and a freezer compartment..that I check before grocery shopping so i can plan meals with what's on hand...before making a grocery list....Keep up the good work!!

@lucgh2007 9 лет назад

dude I make it with 40-50 dlls a week at walmart, and there's always leftovers at the end of the week lol.

@lucgh2007 8 лет назад

***** I know haha. I'm from Mexico and I also find 40-50 dlls a week expensive. Cant fucking imagine 75 greens.

@foraluckygirl 9 лет назад

Is canned chicken not a good option? I always get that and tuna for salad lunch options or burritos for dinner

@blahhblah6635 9 лет назад

The chicken tends to be more processed has tons of sodium, and comparing prices it is actually much more cheap to buy fresh chicken rather than can at least where I live. Also, you have more options vs. the can as far as meals go. Might work though. Couldn't hurt to look into it anyway right? Might be able to do things like rinse extra salt off or something?

@maries0684 9 лет назад

@jasonscardshop937 8 лет назад

just find your channel last week how about do a meal prep at aldi

@kristing5215 9 лет назад

This was really interesting. I've never had a Whole Foods order with that much stuff for $75. Well done. Can you do another video similar to this where you go to a normal grocery store (e.g. Kroger)? I'd be interested to see how low you can get the bill at a regular store. I found that my bill gets too high if I go to multiple places, so it's just Kroger for me every week. I do very well there price-wise.Sometimes I mix my recipes with half chicken breast and half thigh. It usually tastes as good as full thigh with almost half the fat.

@paulsotenko2189 9 лет назад

I was wondering if you can make a video for lunch ideas, somewhat of lunch prep for someone that goes to school. So I a variation for s week. Could just be like a talking video explanation but that up to how you make the vid lol. Hope you can help

@wifi2166 9 лет назад

you are amazing man, i really appreciate and love your hard work and efforts to make quality videos. i love these budget videos but when you said you were gonna have to put some food back cause it doesn't meet the budget, it hit me, you can't put a price on food. foods are a need not wants unlike iphones or apple watches etc! awesome video man.

@marysexton3322 9 лет назад

I can't wait to see the video for the coconut curry chicken!

Pumpkin smoothie...Fall is in the air!

@justguido1 9 лет назад

Ok, I have a question. I typically workout at 6:30pm and have been having my dinner (carbs included) before hand. Do you suggest eating a meal with carbs before or after working out? I do have a double scoop of protein powder after I workout.

@blahhblah6635 9 лет назад

Man, Thank god for sprouts lol! The one near me is as inexpensive as any regular grocery store . I only go to whole foods for that "sushi at home" brand you recommended. Suggestions? Well, normally I would tell people make your own noodles or you don't always have to buy "organic," but... doesn't necessarily fit here. Maybe raise your own chickens??? lol!

@almaguer719 9 лет назад

Yes! Haha I've personally never been to whole foods but all the videos I watch of people shopping for the week there prices come out insanely high! That's why I'm glad a sprouts just opened down the road from me

chicken thighs are pretty good on protein...just higher on calories because of the fat! but i would keep that meal low carb since the calories will make up for it.

@BuIIetbird63 9 лет назад

I would have put back the ginger. Don't think you would use that much. It's fairly expensive and I hate the taste.

@shestudios 8 лет назад

Also buying the staples (rice, potatoes, etc) in bulk would save on cost.

@sharikor82 8 лет назад

Honestly good job. But frozen veggies are not that bad. Fresh is always better. But frozen veggies have also there plus side's.

@denisoliver287 8 лет назад

I noticed that you bought celery that was already cut. Already cut produce is always more expensive than produce that you cut yourself. The price of already cut produce includes the cost of the wages of the people who cut up the produce. Buy uncut produce and cut it yourself to save money, Kevin.

Pork tenderloin is just as lean as chicken, cooks fast, tastes great, and is super cheap.
