  1. here’s a tip- don’t shop at whole foods if you’re on a Budget. Can’t take this video seriously.

  2. How are peanuts as far as health goes? I ask because as much as I like walnuts, I can’t have them in the house because my sister is deathly allergic and will break out in terrible rashes if she’s even the same area as them. It’s very bad

  3. @marilynmccall2879 March 15, 2025 at 11:11 pm

    What would you use cashew milk and hemp milk in?

  4. I never realized Amazon has a discount page how do I get to that please. Thank you so much for your videos I am turning myself from a junk food eater to try to be a more healthier eater for 2022

  5. @mirooovuujjj7918 March 15, 2025 at 11:13 pm

    Another great money-saving tip

  6. Love your white pot, can you share what are they?

  7. That’s what I usually do I decide I wanna eat healthy I go grab a lot of veggies and then it’s all wilted, rotten and wasted while I get tired midweek and start ordering food ignoring what I have. So I decided okay buy weekly but don’t go crazy instead of all kinds of fruit I focus on just 2/3 fruits weekly to indulge in and add to salads. And then I can get something else the next week.

  8. @juanitaevans9340 March 15, 2025 at 11:16 pm

    what is your web site address?

  9. finally useful advice even for me, a very frugal person from europe

  10. Who does all ur cleaning
    Its just so hard to
    Cook for one

    Despite its
    Healthier

    Especially if u live alone
    have chronic health issues

    Eating alone is depressing too

    hi lis,thanks for the tip with avocados,i was always wondering how to keep avocados green,love avocados and now that you show us how to save them and not wasted.thanks

  12. Hi guys – I hope you found these tips helpful! If you have additional tips, please do share them in the comments below! xo – Lisa

  13. Have you looked into Azure Standard or Thrive Market. Both alternatives to online shopping organic and sustainable foods. Also Butcher Box for meats.

  14. Thank you for these food budget tips.

  15. @hasithhasith2120 March 15, 2025 at 11:29 pm

    where is your country

  16. home brand canned veggies and tomatoes help me a bunch

  17. Thank you, Lisa. Great tips. I totally love the organic selection at Costco.

  18. Walnuts are expensive in my country. Cashews and almonds are cheaper which is fine by me because I don’t really care for walnuts.

  19. I save a lot when i cook one whole chicken soup or roasted chicken. Turn half of that into chicken rice or add into pasta . Half especially the breasts part will be used in sandwich,wrap & eaten with salad

  20. Personally, I think that you don’t really need to buy organic stuff if you can’t afford it. It’s obviously better to buy everything organic when you can, but don’t let that stop you from eating healthy

  21. @fictionesque1992 March 15, 2025 at 11:38 pm

    The stuff about frozen fruit and veggies being cheaper doesn’t seem to apply where I live. Frozen produce is SHOCKINGLY expensive here. I can get fresh broccoli for 99 cents per pound, or I can get like. 8 oz of frozen broccoli for $1.99

  22. @debitreleaven125 March 15, 2025 at 11:38 pm

    I love your food advice but your credibility wavered when this became an Amazon ad

  23. Buy your dry groceries in immigrants shops. No matter where you are, they provide the cheapest dried goods.

  24. @skatingcanuck9837 March 15, 2025 at 11:40 pm

    Pork is a bargain. There are so many cuts of meat that offer important nutrients that North Americans are afraid of.

  25. Organic is not better for the planet, it takes way more land to produce the same amount of food. We’d need 3 planet Earths if everybody on the planet ate organic

  26. I want to share to everyone that I cured my Herpes Virus with Dr Aluda herbal supplement.all thanks to Aisha Hussaini for directing me to Dr Aluda.i now believe in Naturals..

    What are those freezer bags you put the bananas and spinach in?

  28. @SingingSealRiana March 15, 2025 at 11:46 pm

    Useing root vegetable greens!!!
    Turnip greens, beet greens, carrot greens . . . they all taste great and are practicly for free.
    I used carrot greens in my falafel when I did not had enough parsley, but they also make a very nice pesto that goes great with roastes carrots.
    Beetreens make a good salad, can be added to pretty much every dish similar to spinach or can be prepared line swiss chard . . .
    radish greens are a bit prickly, but sautee them a bit and you will not notice it anymore.

    ❤❤❤❤

  30. Congrats on making it to Dr Mark Hymans picks!!!! I was so excited to see you listed because I have been watching you for a long time.

  31. @elizabethingram9784 March 15, 2025 at 11:49 pm

    Very helpful. Thanks for your great work. 🙂

    Hi🖐️💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  33. [Remember, eating healthy isnt cheap like a bird or too much like a bear. Eating healthy is not about being frugal or wearing baggy clothes. Dont give story that is hurting people when that is a war crime.]

  34. Thank you!

  35. @Τζένη-η7ζ March 15, 2025 at 11:54 pm

    ❤❤❤❤

  36. @nasonyarowell2277 March 15, 2025 at 11:54 pm

    Sorry but these are still too expensive. That discount from Whole Foods won’t take off the tax at that overpriced store.

  37. 🐇

  38. @jazmynkellett5778 March 15, 2025 at 11:56 pm

    fun fact about hemp hearts : they’re called hearts because they’re the centre of the shelled seed! i know this because i asked my mum to pick me up some hemp seeds the other day and she came home with whole seeds! i didn’t even know they sold them like that but learnt something new 😂 the whole ones are yummy on salad

  39. Your Facebook link doesn’t work anymore

  40. @carolinerouleau3169 March 15, 2025 at 11:58 pm

    🌹Very helpful – Merci😘😘

  41. @bethstickler6799 March 15, 2025 at 11:58 pm

    Which vitamix blender is best for making juices with some greens?

  42. @johannaschmidt3157 March 15, 2025 at 11:59 pm

    Also shop at Aldi! It’s far cheaper, and even if you’re only going to stock up on basics, it will make a huge difference. And there’s no membership fee!

  43. Aldi’s has a good selection of healthy options at good prices

  44. @skatingcanuck9837 March 16, 2025 at 12:00 am

    It would be nice if you acknowledged your viewers. Instead of TELLING your viewers to "add comments to support your algorithms" why not thank them for watching/ supporting your channel? I thank you for your helpful videos, but it is a two way street; without your viewers you would have no channel. I am not trying to hate on you, but there are youtubers with much larger subscriber numbers that consistently thank their followers. Please don’t be offended. I think your channel is wonderfully informative, but in Canada here we are gracious to receive support.

  45. Allerfic.to.eggs.e regime says eat eggs

  46. What silicone bags do you recommend. Also can’t you give some tips for healthy cleaning kitchens and bathrooms and products you use in the kitchen?

  47. @gracelindgren8062 March 16, 2025 at 12:06 am

    Your website is so refreshing, informative and do-able. I’m hooked. Thanks.

  48. @petemitchell6788 March 16, 2025 at 12:06 am

    Don’t EVER buy Stew Meat! It’s the nastiest pieces of meat and it’s actually expensive. You can buy many other value and cut them into 1” cubes.

  49. @shahirahafez4085 March 16, 2025 at 12:07 am

    thank you very useful

  50. you lost me at beans, chickpeas, lentils….
