    It's not that hard tbh. I do $40 a week without trying to budget (in NY). Get your protein, veggies, bread, deli meat, milk, and fruit and it'll easily just be $40. Anything more is seriously a person just indulging in more than what they need or they have others to feed. Nothing wrong with that, it's just looking at reality will make it easier for you to recognize what you're buying to enjoy yourself vs what you need.

    For anyone who's interested in cutting out meat or simply eating less of it and are worried about anemia, here are some suggestions for good vegetable/non-meat sources of iron: Oats - 100g has 38% your daily recommended intake (and it's cheap) Chickpeas - 100g has 22% of your daily recommended intake (also very cheap if you buy dried) Lentils - 100g has 25% of your daily recommended intake (again, cheap) Black beans - 100g has 16% daily intake You can use fortified nutritional yeast as a source of vitamin B12, or you can eat eggs if you're not going vegan. There are a lot of options out there. This is a non-exhaustive list, but these ingredients are easy to find and inexpensive. Indian food has great examples of nutritiously complete vegetarian food as well.

    I just discovered these videos by June, and I love them. First of all, the fact that June is cooking on a budget in a tiny NY apartment is both realistic and relatable. She is so creative in the way she uses ingredients--it's fun to watch to see what she'll try next. Also, the fact that she shows her failures makes these videos far superior to the vast majority of cooking videos. It's hilarious when she fails, because I don't know a SOUL out there who hasn't tried a recipe and EFFed it up royally. If anything, I'd love to see more of her life--where she shops for ingredients, how she's coping through the pandemic, etc.

    So great. I have a family of 5 and have to make everything from scratch because of food allergies. We eat like this often cause its cheaper. I just made granola the other day using seed butter. So good. I also make plant based yogurt at home. Pantry loaded with beans and rice. Lol! I make rice balls and suchi using just veggies cause my kids are allergic to fish. Made potato and leek soup the other night. It easily adds $50 to our grocery bill when my hubby decides he wants meat all week and that's pretty much for him and my eldest son. People say it takes to much time to cook like tuna even if you do save money but I dont have a choice honestly. Allergies between the fam are: peanuts, tree nuts, soy, eggs, dairy, fish, shell fish, soy, coconut and chicken. Sometimes my brain hurts trying to cook for these people 🤣

Try canned tuna, 1 chicken for the week, fresh greens, mushrooms, Penut butter is ok. You ate three very filling meals. I would consider nut milk a for breakfat, or fast and eat two meals. Your recipes looked amazing, very creative. Carbs do give you endless options. Try quinoa as well. Always have onion, eggs, celery, carrot on hand. My mom used to make potatoes, eggs, and onions..

    I'm not a vegan but I eat very little meat and no dairy - so about as close as you can get - and she's missing all the fruit and veg I'd normally eat. The "staples" of vegan are not expensive, but the fresh produce in a city is VERY expensive. I'm in downtown Chicago and spend probably $30-$40 weekly just on fruit and veg - everything else on top adds up to about $50-$60 a week. Take away the fruit and veg and sure I could spend just that $35 a week. vegan or primarily plant-based is expensive in cities, when I lived in Michigans countryside there were small farms selling produce EVERYWHERE for so cheap, it would be much cheaper there to be plant-based or vegan.
