I wonder why cost of living skyrocketed...couldnt've been Brexit, right?

@@XxSirPillerxX Who knows. My question would be how does Brexit affect Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada... I could go on but the cost of living is skyrocketing all over the world, not just the UK. All blamed on Brexit?

@@XxSirPillerxX as a proud Scotsman, I blame the English and especially the tories

@@Thecameramann Fair enough. I blame the French personally.

This series has been helping me with food prices.

This series just helps me deal with hunger everytime we run out of food and have to go to the store

You have time?

@@ricotoffen822 Im still a kid but I don't have much time anymore

To feed a family of 4 from target. 4.99 for a giant tub of mac and cheese. 2.99 for a 7 pack of chicken breast. So...I guess it checks out. Finally a but cheaper I can say the math makes since and nothing to do with California being a price tag death trap

That's true for many of us

With French fries and tomato ketchup

@@Jammysandwedge88 is there another kind of ketchup?

Grow up

I highly recommend checking out the recipe for state fair lemonade by chef John from food wishes. It uses the same technique with the zest and sugar to make hands down the best lemonade I have ever tasted.

i love how joshua can level the playing ground between us normal people and professional chefs

leveling up

Taking care of us!

@@heersyal2454 🤟

i still binge his videos even though i can't cook half the stuff he makes lol

@SERGE No Commentary pssssht whaaaat?? Nahhhh--i'm just someone who can DEFINITELY live without breast milk... definitely... just crying my best...

@@chloejarvis721 wait Wtf

That would just be depressing

I hit “like” not because we need this, but because it made me laugh. 😁

Just make the same recipe but with cheap ingredients. What about this is expensive?

I second that emotion

but cheaper but cheaper pizza: get a slice of bread, coat it in ketchup, then add a slice of kraft singles and microwave

Same!!

Try topping your macaroni with spaghetti sauce or another sauce you like. You can still have that soft pasta texture with the nuggets.

Do a Mac and vegan cheese sauce using cashews and nutritional yeast (unless you have a nut allergy too 🤷)

And milk that's $1.25 for 2L or $2.50 a gallon.

you didnt pay attention, its chicken thighs not breasts.....thighs are like 6 dollars here in southern california, literally just bought some at ralphs today

@@sogen7967 LMAO😭😭

@@sogen7967 🤓👆auckshully

the prices are ridiculously under exaggerated

Joshua would argue that you can re-use the oil.

I’m in the US and where I live the lemons alone would have been $2.

@@darthplagueis13 food absorbs oil and frying with flour dredge especially if it contains spices degrades the oil a lot.

No one seems to realize that this is a *PER SERVING PRICE.* Everyone always gets that screwed up.

Sounds crazy but add either: a little onion powder, dried onions, or super finely cut onions. The onions in the cheese with the pasta is magical.

I once had a cookbook from the best recipes of Gourmet magazine from 2009 I think and their recipe called for dry mustard powder and garlic salt yum. I also added two types of cheese or the mixed types of shredded cheese. I also like a sprinkle of paprika.

+some of the ingredient prices looked very generous. And the thumbnail is what? 8 "servings"? Idk. I appreciate the content, but I can't help but feel the price estimates are real click baity.

You do know that you can reuse the oil, right?

@@bradcavanagh3092 You can, but only a few times, for me 4 batches in the fryer is the max amount before the oil gets dark.

@@Eihei Yeah it depends what you're frying in it as well, but the point is that even with 4 uses the cost of the oil isn't much at all and it should be considered a pantry staple like flour, sugar, salt, and spices.

@@bradcavanagh3092 Depends where you live. Vegetable oil where I live is $5/L. So for ME, this recipe isn't cheaper.

Most of their But Cheaper recipes are pretty reasonable though

Yup thats what I was thinking. Wonder if it still works with an air fryer.

You can strain and reuse it.

Bro you are a super hero you can cook that whole meal in a minute 💀

@@kqnji Probably a recipe in his cookbook, but still a funny comment 😂

@@Smarting26 fair enough

Mf cooked a whole meal under 5 minutes 💀

Wait, but that's impossible. Is it in his book or something before he made this video?

Because its not. Josh just uses economies of scale and goes off the "per serving price" to make everything seem cheeper then it is, It's honestly kind of cheating especially since the full amount of servings or total ingredient prices don't seem to be listed anywhere in the video.

It's $2 per serving, not in the food costs in total.

@@philippoon8879 sure but the image suggests otherwise.

The assumption is probably that the viewer won’t cook once in their life and never again. So if Josh did the price of the whole ingredient, rather than the serving price, he’d be listing the price of a whole container of salt and pepper. But your salt and pepper is going to last you many recipes. Likewise with AP flour, MSG, sugar, etc. Realistically, most people that cook regularly will have those things in their cabinets. They’re the basics. The chicken price can range wildly depending on where you are, the cut, the amount you buy, and what a normal serving size is to you as an individual.

Well yes, but no. :(

Oh man the price of a stove, pan and yada yada isn’t covered these are 1000€ chickennuggets

It’s all per serving so in the end it should come out to around $2 usd

Same

@@flyingdolphin1015 Thanks for reminding me. This is always the case with these videos, I know that - but then I forget. It was mostly a comment on the horrible food prices these days, not very well thought through though, sorry.

😂 I was thinking “ that’s like a whole bottle of crisco for chicken nuggets?”

@@mikewatson5281 u can reuse ur oil as long as u don't burn it

@Follow the howl that argument always drives me up the wall. When I moved into my house there wasn't oil in the cupboards, I had to buy it at some point... it's like those DIY videos: "I built this for $2! I had this that and the other lying around so that was free, plus $2 for the glue. See!"

@@fleuttre4510 even with the chicken fat in it? I’ve never tried to reuse oil

Oil is the 2nd most expensive part of making fried chicken. The first most expensive is the chicken. The second most expensive is the fried. Quite frankly in every but cheaper (or comparable things on other channels) they include the cost of oil in the pan so why do they not include it when it's a vat of it...

Then add like three cents. Jeez.

@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN if only 4 qts of oil cost 3 cents lmfao

If you have a Non-American grocery store (Bodega, Vietnamese grocer, Indian grocer, etc), you can often score cheaper fruits and veggies. Aldi's or Sprout's are decent options if you have them too.

Not all lemons have peel that is safe to consume.
