EXTREME BUDGET GROCERY CHALLENGE | I Thrived on Only $15 of Food for a Week + FREE PDF

This week I challenged myself to an extreme grocery budget challenge where I only spent $15 on groceries that had to last me for an entire week. That means each meal came out to less than $0.75. If you want to recreate my delicious week of meals and save money on food, you can download this FREE PDF which includes a shopping list as well as the simple recipes I enjoyed this week for lunch and dinner:

A few months ago I hit a very tight spot in my budget. I had 30€ for a whole month to spend on everything. Gas, food and other needs. I had other tight times before, but this month was really tight, because of other bills pouring in. So I hardcore shopped my pantry and freezer. I get fresh fruits at work so I only bought the cheapest veggies I could find and got through that month without going hungry. That month made me appreciate all I have so much more and now have my eyes open for people who are struggling. I had only this one month, others have this every month 😞

In Missouri, just added all your ingredients to my cart and it would be $22.01. Just for comparison! Love these ideas, thanks for sharing!!

The aqua fava from the chickpeas could've been used to thicken some of your sauces or as a binder for your burger ❤

I feel like I FINALLY found a channel that really helps people transition more practically to a vegan lifestyle. The recipes looks amazing and aren't using ingredients that seem too daunting to try. Thank you for such great content!

[annemiura]

Congratulations! Well done. I am so delighted to see a young woman and mother being so practical. I am a granny vegan and am always distressed when I hear people complaining about how expensive it is to “eat healthy “ . I am close to 80 and have raised my family on a tight budget always able to feed them healthy tasty vegan food. With this video you show folks how to do this. Wonderful indeed! btw you have a darling ❤little boy.

You could have had extra snacks by roasting the pumpkin seeds! 🎃 Great budget ideas!

£12.70 here in the UK for your shopping list as a comparison! And for all the dried goods they’re 500g instead of 300g! Great video with great inspo, especially for us in the UK in a cost of living and energy price crisis :)

This was inspiring, since we use over 250€ on groceries in a week as a family with two toddlers. (Food prices are very high here in Scandinavia.) I tend to go to the store whenever I feel one or two items are missing but I should just get more creative with the remaining ingredients!

The high point of my day was watching you open the oven with your foot! 😂 Great job on the challenge. I want to make some bread. 😊

I like that you added the calories in, I have watched other budget videos and with some there is no way that it would be enough calories for most people.

[allyrooh]

I honestly think I might try to create this entire video of meals. I have never done that before, but I have all of the groceries, a few hours tomorrow, and excitement about these foods! I also appreciate the ingredients to each recipe being on the screen for screenshots. New subscriber!

[scwendy]

This was such a fun video! Im always impressed with your ability to create tasty food on the fly with simple ingredients😊

[normidwest]

do not throw away the pumpkin seeds...cover with oil, salt and soy sauce and roast for great toppings for salads/soups...I really enjoyed your recipes--they look delicious...great ways to use a minimum of ingredients...thanks for the good ideas...dts/usa

[touchofclass]

I love your videos! I have been plant based for a little over a year now which is when I found your channel. I have made many of your recipes from the website. You are so creative and inspiring; I truly enjoy watching your food prep and meal making. Thank you for sharing all of this with us!! xoxo Debbie

[margarett_b]

I really love these videos of yours because they make me so much more appreciative of the food I eat and reminds me that sometimes creativity is they key to a simple, yet delicious meal!
Also: Red lentil and pumpkin soup is such a classic for me every fall - and there are so many options to make it!
.
Sending you lots and lots of love!
Have a great rest of the week!

[sherrylg]

Hope all is well. I’ve been missing your videos!

[kathleenbolanos]

Love that you gave a calorie and protein breakdown!!

[Raddiebaddie]

Wow I love how you switched it up so the same ingredients didn’t get monotonous! Very realistic
