Some lovely meal ideas and I appreciate the ‘on a budget’ ‘cheap’ sentiment however there doesn’t appear to be anywhere near enough here. Two bananas and 3 apples for a family of 4 - that doesn’t cover your minimum fruit intake nutritionally for a day let alone a week for 4 people!
There definitely isn’t enough fruit and veg, but I focused more on veggies in this challenge than fruit. I’m not sure you can get in all your requirements in this low of a budget…that’s something to shoot for in the next one! This was definitely an extreme budget where I tried my best to create balanced meals with little money
Love your video! The black beans you used was actually a type of soybeans, same as edamame. It is very nutritious, especially the one with green insides. Asians love them.
Thanks for sharing, Faith! Your videos always bring me a lot of comfort in knowing that there are others who make most of their meals from scratch! On some days, I find it hard to come up with ideas and motivation! Thanks for never ending inspiration ❤️

I love your hair! I don't like to focus on appearances because what's on the inside is much more important than what's on the outside but I just love your hair it's so pretty 😊 you're a beautiful person inside and out!! You make English muffins look so easy!! 😅 Might have to try those! Everything looks so good and your videos always make me hungry 😂 I'm 20 weeks pregnant with baby #3 and now I'm STARVING GIMME ALL THE FOOD 😂😂😂 I appreciate you leaving in the messes that happen because that's real life and I would have done the exact same thing with the pressure cooker 😂
It's very easy to make your own vegan mayonnaise. Just substitute the egg for some chickpea aquafaba. (You do need an immersion blender for this) It's a lot cheaper than store bought mayonnaise and probably healthier too.
Yes so true! I’ve done that before but for some reason vegetable oil is expensive her so it didn’t fit in my budget. But over the long run that’s a way cheaper way to go!
Where we live vegetable oil is very expensive too 😥 But, I've calculated it and still homemade mayo is a lot cheaper than store bought, even with the expensive oil. But that may differ tremendously per country, we don't live in the US nor the EU and prices of slightly processed foods are so expensive here.
Snacks?? Not everyone is a big snack family, but I feel like my boys never stop eating:) Thanks for the meal ideas!!! I'm definitely trying those pancakes and tortillas!
Nice meal ideas! I spent $60 just for one person but it will last 2 weeks. Also I wonder if you might consider lowering or removing the music, I’d love to just listen and learn from you without the additional music. 😊
Faith, I’m always so excited and blessed by the videos you post. Thanks for sharing food tips/ideas in a down to earth and encouraging way! Watching this was a highlight of my morning. 😊
Some lovely meal ideas, always really inspiring watching you meal prep. 😊 When I make beans I always let the pressure cooker natural release, cleaner way to do it for one but the beans are much more flavourful that way, I've heard it completes the process better doing it this way. Also I never season them until after they're cooked as adding salt at the start can make them tough and will always make them take longer to cook too. It was interesting to read below that you went to Perth for a trip recently, my sister lives there, I'm from Adelaide in the hills and I think Adelaide is the cheapest state in Australia, think you'd really enjoy visiting here, more to see and do in Adelaide and a much more affordable place to go, not as hectic as Sydney also, highly recommend! 🤗 🏞️🍲🌳🍁
as vegan i eat for 3$ canadian a day (alone 39 male ) and not miss a single nutriment, i even have a video about every nutriment lisent in extrme details evne like 10 more no one talk or hear about cause they are not often considered , since not essenital but as benifit for ultra hcepa and ethical. yep every single essential nutriment covered with plants and vegan lifestyle.
Some great ideas, Faith. I cook my chickpeas on the stove top like you did here and for me, they do take at least 45 minutes. They are the only bean I cook from scratch because I don't like the taste of canned.
May I give you a tip? If you want to save time, make a big batch of chickpeas at one time (a 1kg bag for eg) and freeze in portions. I cook them once and then I use them many times. It's so efficient.
@silvia magda Great tip. I already do that but I first freeze them on a cookie sheet before putting them into one bag. That way I can use just what I need. Chickpeas are actually my least favorite bean so I may replace them with another white bean like navy or Great northern.
@@cyndij8312 i freeze them in bags, in portions. And you know what I do to avoid freezing them first on the baking sheet? When they're half frozen in the bag, I move the chickpeas in the bag. This way they don't clump together. I hope it helps. And yes, you can freeze any bean.
The black bean tacos look amazing! I'll try my hand at the tortillas. The peanut noodles are a good budget friendly idea too, so I'm gonna try that with the peanut sauce. My kids will love that. U always have such good ideas. Fyi, I make dried beans in the instant pot weekly, and you don't have to soak them before! I cook on high pressure for about 25-30 minutes depending on the bean. I too have gotten black bean juice all over my walls and cabinets too 😂
I also usually just cook beans from dry but became doubtful of my methods this week for some reason. Cooking from dry is so much easier! Thanks for watching and always saying hi!
Just love your videos Faith. I watch from New Zealand and we often have some similar brands available. Always great ideas and great budget friendly ideas.
Thanks for sharing Faith. Since the pandemic the prices of food, petrol and electricity have soared here in Spain as in many countries so any tips are helpful xxx
Lots of great meal ideas. I really wanted to add some avocado, salsa and fresh cilantro to those tacos, but understand that would be some extra dollars. :)
Ah I thought I wrote down the price in RM but I can’t find it! That would have been a cool comparison. And I just shopped at Ben’s but if I was focusing on prices her in malaysia I would have shopped somewhere else or at multiple places. Probably mostly at lotus’!

If you fry your cooked beans in a pan with white onions it adds so much more flavor!!!!
Sounds yummy!!
Always enjoy your videos
Glad to hear it!

Maybe those are black soy beans?
Thats what I thought too, I had them roasted once and they looked just like that🌱
I think they might be! Even though it doesn’t say that on the package 🤷🏼♀️
You can barely feed a Family of 4 for $55 a day in Australia right now 😔
Hello fellow Aussie ! I hear ya ! 💟👍
We just took a 1 week trip to Perth and I definitely had sticker shock!

Thank you so much!!
I like this formula - breakfst first, than lunches and finally dinners. It is easier to follow than day by day. Good job :-)
Glad to hear that!!

Fantastic video, Faith! Thank you! Always appreciate your videos.

Great video Faith! Thanks for the tip to freeze yeast. And, baking muffins in a skillet is new to me and will definitely be on my list to try!
Hope you can try some of these recipes out!
Love your videos. The black beans are black soy beans.

Really love your videos! Had to laugh with the black bean overflow though. I did the same thing.🐱
Oh man. It’s so normal for me to make a massive mess 😂
Love this concept, checking out your other video right away! I've just cut down my meals to 2 a day, with no snacks, so that I stay within budget.
Thanks for watching and I hope you like the other ideas from my other video!
Another winner, Faith! Thanks so much😊 I cannot wait to try those English muffins😮

Love this. Great effort! I always love your videos. I am trying to adhere to serving size to keep my weight in check and save $.
Thanks for watching!!
Lots of great meal ideas. I really wanted to add some avocado, salsa and fresh cilantro to those tacos, but understand that would be some extra dollars. :)
Oh we normally would too! Those toppings are our favorites as well!
Thanks very much for the inexpensive, healthy meal ideas.
You’re welcome!
Will definitely make that mushroom ramen 😋🍜
It's so good!
Getting ready to make the tortillas….I noticed the original recipe has no baking powder….any reason you add it now? Do they stay softer longer?
I do add it now!
Interesting…private selection Edamame is $4.69 at my Kroger. Guess prices are higher when demand is higher. 😕
And prices change every week too! Maybe they were on sale the week I checked to film this video??
Love your content as usual, Faith. How much did you spend in RM? And did you get it all at one supermarket, say Village Grocer? Thank you!
Ah I thought I wrote down the price in RM but I can’t find it! That would have been a cool comparison. And I just shopped at Ben’s but if I was focusing on prices her in malaysia I would have shopped somewhere else or at multiple places. Probably mostly at lotus’!
