FINALLY a full cost breakdown of the food. This should have been a thing for years at this point. Keep doing full cost breakdowns.

This! This right here is what most people need. Recipes that provide the ingredients you need with the actual cost. Yes, it can vary but I hate recipes that say its a cheap dish at only $1.49 a serving, but you have to spend $50 in ingredients. Providing the actual cost is so important. I took screenshots to make some of these knowing how affordable they actually can be. Thanks for this!

@SteveSherman-ij5gm It's more that you're buying these staples often in bulk rather than that they are overall cheap. Like for example a jar or can of something might last a while but that doesn't mean it's not expensive in some areas.

Tip for protein: Chicken thighs would go great with a lot of this stuff. Theyre cheap and dead easy to cook; in fact, overcooking then makes them more tender because the collagen in the dark meat starts to break down! And you get in your protein so you stay full!

i've made quite a few of the recipes from your cookbook, and i love every single one. I have also learnt a lot about texture from it and it inspired me to do my own research into texture. Thank you.

If you like buttered noodles, you should try brown buttered noodles. It's a PA Dutch/amishy dish where you cook the butter to where it starts to get brown, so the milk solids caramelize then add noodles, usually egg noodles but you can use whatever you want. Other variations around here include adding, sausage, keilbasa, cabbage to the noodles but don't overdo it.

@SteveSherman-ij5gm Price per serving costings also vary wildly by location and time. I find total cost to be the less misleading of the two when it comes to home cooking (obviously it's going to be different in professional kitchens). As a home cook, there's nothing more frustrating than, for example, videos that draw you in with click bait headlines touting $1 meals that turn out to only be $1 if you buy ingredients in bulk and cook enough portions for 9 people. I have to work back from the 'price per serving' to the 'total cost in my area', work out how many portions those total ingredients will make, factor in whether the extra ingredients/meals can be frozen/are shelf stable/or are just wasted, then go back and figure out what it will actually cost me per serving, including all the wastage.

Two others have commented on this, but I’ve gotta agree, the popping sounds are kinda distracting because they’re so frequent. Love the videos content tho ♥️

I learn a lot from you Josh. Appreciate your efforts.

So this is extremely helpful to me and i'm sure many others. Having the cost of 'should you need to buy everything' to make this is an amazing breakdown. Seeing some recipe on youtube is great if it's labeled as cheap, but if you don't have any of those ingredients you're still gonna spend money buying them. Most people's pantry game is weak, and this could absolutely help to build your pantry and utilize long unused condiments/sauces. Thanks!

Hopefully now people will stop crying about him not writing the full price of things and act like it really matters

The breakdown of prices is so helpful. Thank you for considering those who need to budget for the ingredients to try out these amazing recipes! 🙏🏽💰

I've watched a lot of videos on this channel and this is my favorite.

Thank you for the price breakdown. It was one of the things I was hoping for since watching your but cheaper series and wondering how you came to those prices. Thank you!

Josh, if you are going to tell us to split the final product into 4 or 6 portions and give us a really cheap price per portion, please actually split what you make into the portion sizes so that we can see how much each portion is. Splitting half a pound of pasta into 4 portions really isn't very much food.
