Maybe I'm weird for coming back to watch this multiple times. But from the very savvy selection of items to the polite, unobtrusive yet very effective urban scavenging, to finding those apples (and having the expertise to know they could still be edible), to scoring the free coffee from trash, and finally being able to combine these disparate cheap (or free) ingredients into 3 tasty meals that each look like they were each deliberately planned and shopped for, I find it totally inspirational. Like a near-perfect example of cleverness and resourcefulness resulting in triumph.

I don't know why I watch these videos, but they are really addictive. I think the thing I like about them the most is this guy is just straight to the point, no ads/sponsors, no clickbait, no stupid gawping mouth thumbnails.

This video and the others like it have helped me budget, made me realise where I needed to spend my money and what wasn’t necessary buying. I keep coming back to watch it when I end up short at the end of the month, or even fortnight. I’m living off of 180 a month, add on rent, council tax and other bills I need to pay, some weekly.

I've watched it and the other food challenges quite a bit (although this one is my favorite). I'm prepping for upcoming food shortages and I like to watch these to expand my mind with what's possible to do with food. The other day when I was shopping, I was eyeing a jar of artichoke hearts in oil thinking, "That's got usable cooking oil in it, plus the veggies." And I already walk around my yard and look for edible weeds. You ought to see my packet (aka sachet) collection, though! It takes up a whole shelf in the fridge. I can flavor meals for a long time with just it.

I have to say, these budget videos are a total guilty pleasure of mine and this is by far one of the most innovative ones I’ve seen. Not only were very smart with your decisions at the store and with condiments but you went so far as to use waste as resources and scavenge outside on the beach and in foresty areas. I am genuinely super impressed with this video, great job man!

What does the proverb mean? Is it something like "you have to be grateful" or "beggars can't be choosers"?

Apple compote from those 2 foraged apples and sugar packets could have been spread on the remainder of that sliced bread. Also, vegetable stands or green grocers often have produce culls which are sold at reduced price or even discarded.

Dude is eating better and more varied food than I could ever hope to prepare for myself.. (With a lesser budget aswell)

I've been laid off for a couple of months. Managed to find a couple weeks of work before getting dropped again. Unemployment insurance covers rent and utilities, but I don't want to just burn through my reserves. Lately my weeknight meals have been very heavily "Bread with soup". The soup is just cheap stuff from a can because I do not enjoy cooking, but the bread is from the overflow of a nearby bakery and is excellent for dunking. A couple dollars has me in bread for over a week, easily. I'm lucky to have that bakery so close-by. It's just a couple of miles away, a half hour's walk there and another half hour back. They also have par-baked loaves and buns. If all I have to do is fire up the oven and throw things in, it's not a problem at all, and it's really nice having fresh, hot bread at home. The bakery smells like grown-up candyland.

I work as a professional cook, and watched the whole video in complete awe. Using all your ingredients as efficiently as possible and being able to create three fulfilling meals out of what you had is absolutely amazing.
