Eating For $1 A Day (Full Week)

HOW TO EAT FOR $10 A WEEK | EMERGENCY EXTREME GROCERY BUDGET PLAN | CHEAP MEAL IDEAS Welcome back to my cooking channel! In this video I created a grocery list with only $10 choosing food items I consider to be filling, nutrient dense and that might make the most food to last a whole week. This meal plan includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. For me, it was more than enough food and actually kept me full since it included whole food groups such as beans, lentils and brown rice. I felt great at the end of the week. The food is not necessarily beautiful but it is full of all the flavors and its good and it beats spending it all on ONE lunch at a fast food place. I hope this helps you or someone you know. I love you all and thank you for all the support 🌼💚

I think this is the first time I've seen a budget meal video that didn't just assume you have a tonne of stuff in your pantry to supplement the budget shop. I'm genuinely impressed.

Pro tip from a Latin American. Do not discard the water after you cook the beans! Use it for bean soup! It has a ton of favlor and nutrients.

Julia, you have saved me and my kid sooo many times. Thanks to you, we haven't had to go to bed without dinner. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I like how you do all 7 breakfasts in a row. Then you show 7 lunches. It makes it more cohesive.

Online where materialism and excess is often celebrated, it's refreshing to see someone showcase the value of "cheap" things.

I appreciate so much that she does things like using water instead of oils - "in case you don't have oil at hand". Food content usually ignores that food poverty is very real and it looks like NOT having " pantry staples". Thanks!

I’m so touched at how you presented these meals with dignity and nutrition at the forefront. Even something small like calling a meal “budget friendly” instead of “cheap” and reassuring the audience of taste and protein makes me feel so respected and valued, and like there is finally something being promoted online that actually has my best interests in mind. That’s so valuable, thank you ❤️

No ego in this woman. She isn’t ashamed of presenting her meager meals to benefit other people. God bless her

Important note- you are better off buying the frozen veggies versus the canned for a few reasons; the weight of the canned veggies is total weight, which includes the liquid. So, unless you are using the liquid in the can in your cooking, all of the nutrients get lost in that liquid due to canning. Frozen veggies are usually flash frozen at peak ripeness so the nutrients are locked in and you are paying for the weight of the vegetable, not the added liquid. I do see that you chose brown rice and whole wheat bread so you are doing great there. I hope this helps!

Im Mexican and I grew up on mashed pinto beans, over easy eggs, diced potatoes and corn tortillas for breakfast. It can feed a lot of people for a couple bucks and it extremely delicious and hearty. Dont forgot the Tapitio sauce.

as a recent college graduate with no job, barely any money, and a lot of anxiety around feeding myself on a shoestring budgey, this is the EXACT kind of video i needed to see. instant sub ❤

[matthewstrickland]

As a professional cook, love everything you're doing. You absolutely don't need oils, and 50 seasonings and thirty ingredients. Our bodies truly are that simple.

[yardy]

I'm never complaining about groceries again 😭. I wish you guys in the comments section all the prosperity and happiness in the world ❤

[nooffencebut]

You’re seriously saving lives out here, I watched out of pure curiosity but looking through the comments I can see that you have helped people survive some hard times. Know that you’ve helped others so much, it’s seriously admirable.

[KarinRodriguez-tbgv]

Just a little tip to use less gas/electricity while cooking your beans- Let them soak overnight (make sure to pour the water out and rinse them) and they’ll get a little softer and will cook faster when you are ready to cook them.

[abbyhumphries]

It is crazy how you can spend this much money on ONE fast food meal, but instead get food for a whole week. This is a great video, awesome job for helping so many!!

[DCM-hl]

I am very blessed to have never faced food insecurity BUT this type of content is so helpful for so many who face that reality. The inability to have pantry staples and needing to sub is a very real reality for so many people and this type of content shares dignity. Please do not stop.

[LionelWayne-jevv]

YOU TAKE THE SHAME OUT OF BEING POOR AND TURN IT INTO A CULINARY ADVENTURE I THINK YOU ARE A JOY AND HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOU GOD BLESS❤❤❤❤❤❤

[annai]

I love this. It's so realistic. You understand that someone might not have oil or cheese available, but if they do, they'd make good additions. Thanks for a great, do-able plan for a tight week.

[EA_SBC]

I grew up so poor and food insecure, that now I absolutely treasure the food I can buy. I am praying for all of you struggling with this-- just know the one true God will provide for you !!!
