Our local store just had a good sale on veggies and beans. They were 50 cents each. I literally haven't seen that price in years. So, I bought like 20 cans of green beans, 12 of corn, and 8 of each kind of bean they had. It took up so much room in my pantry. But the price was too great to pass up
For canned beans, sometimes it’s cheaper to get them in bulk at Costco, same with bread, wraps, cuz you can even throw the carbs in the freezer if you don’t use them right away. Don’t know if you have a Costco near you, worth the investigation. 😊
I can say being vegan is not expensive. I live in a mixed house hold. I'm vegan, my daughters are vegetarian and my son and husband eat everything and when I look at our receipts, the most expensive items are the cheese and things like that.
It's so difficult with a blended house like that. I'm vegan my husband is not and our eats eat whatever and I swear when scanning groceries besides diapers that is when thing go up milk, cheese, meat etc. We are super lucy to have a discount grocery store near us the sells dented or error stuff and they have good deals but still.
I buy a lot of frozen vegetables, they keep forever in the freezer! I also buy tofu in the triple bricks (usually 5.99$ cad ) and freeze them. Some of my other staples like TVP, quinoa, dried beans, nutritional yeast, grains and nuts (mostly raw cashews to make faux mozarella) etc. I get at Bulk Barn. 🙂
Oh an updated tofu video would be cool. You could go through the different kinds and what to use them for. I remember watching your videos years ago about freezing tofu to change the texture.
Youre right Rose, tifu does last a long time, ive had it a couple of months past the date stamped in the pkg. Like you said so long as its in the sealed container and theres no weird funky smell ill rince it in cold water and use it how I want to Great grocery haul 😊 By the way i guess about $90.00 dollars USD 😂 I was very close huh
I feel like it's a North American thing to not use the white of spring onions... They always give that tip to regrow them, but when I use them I literally only have like 3mm of root left! 😅
I would add frozen berries for topping porridge and only dry beans, not canned. I loved the groery hauls you did while you were living in London and that, along with meal prep videos, got me started watching your channel.
I'd love some more tofu cooking tips. Only last week I learned that when making mapo-- my absolute fave! Only soondubu jjigae comes a close second-- you're supposed to boil your tofu. And I've making it for years! I'd also love soft tofu dessert recipes. Especially the Chinese kind with ginger syrup. I've tried but it doesn't taste any where as good.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ this was extremely helpful. It gave me some new ideas on the protein options. It would be great to do a soup series on the canned soup... awesome quick meal
I like watching these videos because it gives me an idea of what other people are paying for the groceries also. I just bought several cans of beans for .79 cents each, that's the best I've seen for awhile. I try to buy my tofu when it is on sale and freeze some and keep a few out to use during the week, they last a long time that way and I don't have to worry about running out, it also helps the budget. I tried cooking dried beans but can't quite get the cooking time down right and they just don't turn out.
I was recently able to bump my monthly grocery budget from 10 US dollars to 20 US dollars. I basically just supplement whatever I can't get out of the blessing boxes that are around town or what people happened to just give me. I have a lot of dietary restrictions for health reasons as well as being plant-based. It takes work but being plant-based on an extremely low budget is definitely doable. Also I find it pretty wild how the cost of tofu ranges greatly from one store to the next. I pay under $2 for it but at places that are supposed to be cheap places to shop like Walmart it costs well over $3. So weird
I cook my potatoes in my instant pot (saw one in its box in your office previous vlog) Cook for 15ish minutes on manual. Once cool, put in fridge. Then smash them and cook in air fryer for 20ish minutes and dip in ketchup our favorite sauce. Delicious.
My vegetarian grocery haul can be a bit more expensive because I don’t do gluten, refined seed oils (cottonseed, sunflower, canola,etc) or refined sugars either. I have to spend a bit more for gluten free/vegan pasta, but I can usually make the bread and wraps at home. Which grocery store did you shop at for this haul? I’m in Ontario, about an hour outside of Toronto.
Love your energy! Subscribed :) I'm starting a budget for the first time and needed to know how much I should set aside for groceries. I do get a lot of meat and cheese replacements and they can get very pricey. How long does this haul typically last you?
This had to cost at least $75. I wish I could find a big bag of vegan ramen for less!! But this looks so similar to my groceries. would love a new tofu video, just for fun and inspiration. My guess was close on price!
Hey Rose! Love watching your videos as always! I have a comment/question though about the plant-based bundle…shouldn’t all the creators in the bundle be plant-based or vegan? I see Simply Quinoa in the lineup and she is not…she posts eggs, meat, fish, etc. It’s a turn off for me and a deterrent to getting the bundle. Just wondered if the organizers knew she reverted back to eating animal products within the last year or so? She made a whole “why I’m no longer vegan” video…
Hi there, unfortunately I don't control who's participating in the bundle or not! And if it makes you feel better, if you purchase the bundle through my link, it won't financially benefit anyone else that's part of the bundle other than the bundle creators who put it together. So if there's creators you may not be a fan of, it won't really affect them in anyway if you purchase to someone else's link.
@@CheapLazyVegan that does make me feel better haha I just didn’t want to support her in particular. I wondered if there was a way for you to pass it on to whoever puts it together, that’s all. But no worries! Thanks Rose ☺️ by the way I have all of your ebook and love your content and videos 🤗
Beans are cheap, particularly dried, but even canned beans cost less than meat, as does tofu, tempeh, and brown rice. Fresh produce is expensive for sure, and some sauces and marinades can be, but there are alternatives. Vegan cheese and yogurt is pricey, and I use gluten free products which are also expensive. The general cost of food is much higher than it has been in the past, but overall, veg food has always been cheaper!
Use your insta pot and throw a whole 5 lb bag of potatoes in there with a cup of water and cook on high pressure for 30 mins. Then you have them ready with minimal effort
Tofu is boss. Not only does it last long to begin with, but it freezes super well too. I have a relative that shops at Costco once a month and they buy me extra firm tofu from there. 4 pkgs for $8.
Tofu is not expensive though. It runs between $2-$3 dollars depending on the brand. Not really a deal at Costco. Unless, they come in bigger packages. I let go of my membership as I wasn’t saving anything there. (As a single person)
Thank you for making this video. I get super annoyed when people tell me that a vegan diet is "privileged" because they are in under the impression that it's crazy expensive. A whole food plant based diet is referred to as a peasant diet for a reason. Our staple foods are the cheapest foods on earth and a privileged diet is the diet that royalty ate for centuries. Meat, dairy and eggs. Those foods were too expensive for the peasants who then went on to be healthier as a result of what they ate.
I'm surprised that you never eat tempeh. I think it's the best protein source. Also, seitan aswell, even if it's not the healthiest thing ever. Also, seeds and nuts are essential for me and it's recommended for people.
Not vegan but I want a good silken tofu to beef up protein shakes because I have long work/school days. What kind is best. Also vegan mayo is gross because mayo is gross, sorry not sorry 😂
And that’s for ONE person, and not even stuff like potatoes, onions, garlic, fruits, rice, etc. Times that by 4 for a family of four. And yes the Canadian dollar is sh*t 😅 And governments keep inflating prices of gas/food, basically everything.
The problem is when you're leaving home to go to work everyday and rating at work and not cooking at home everyday, veganism isn't a very convenient diet.
I go to work, bring my lunch and cook my other meals every day. I've been vegan for years and I haven't found that it takes longer to cook vegan than it took me to cook when was an omnivore. 😉
Just wanted to add, when I wasn’t vegan and not meal prepping and cooking everyday….that wasn’t convenient either. It’s all about planning, time management.

I been watching since I was 15 years old now I’m going to be 24 😭🫀thank you for your help
Holy moly, nearly the same for me too! Except I was 17 when I started watching Rose and now I'm 24. Feels so weird to think about 😭
I've been watching since I was 17 and I'm 23 now ❤ oh my god that was like 6 years ago 😳

WHOA that's amazing!!!
That's a pretty good haul for $120. I think because you don't have many processed things, it really helps keep the bill down.
yes that's what i try to do most of the time :)
I think I like these grocery hauls the most. I must be nosy to see what people buy. 😂
For canned beans, sometimes it’s cheaper to get them in bulk at Costco, same with bread, wraps, cuz you can even throw the carbs in the freezer if you don’t use them right away.
Don’t know if you have a Costco near you, worth the investigation. 😊
thanks for the tips!
Finally, a grocery haul on CZcams that's geographically near me 😂 I saw the BC label on your veggies and I was all "whaaaaa!"
hahaa hello from a fellow Canadian!

Your tofu video is the first thing I recommend to new vegans or veg-curious friends! It's great!

I love Bulk Barn!!

I've been really loving your videos Rose! Thanks so much 😊 I'm loving all the fresh and simple ingredients, so many potential meals!!
thank you so much!!! :)

Great grocery haul 😊
By the way i guess about $90.00 dollars USD 😂 I was very close huh
you were so close!!
You can steam a bunch of your potatoes in the instant pot have them ready to go whenever you want them.
I feel like it's a North American thing to not use the white of spring onions... They always give that tip to regrow them, but when I use them I literally only have like 3mm of root left! 😅
Love watching your grocery haul videos ...well I love watching all your videos💜
I would add frozen berries for topping porridge and only dry beans, not canned. I loved the groery hauls you did while you were living in London and that, along with meal prep videos, got me started watching your channel.
thank you so much!! haha those were the days ;)
Great conversation, you are so right. Be happy in the moment. It's not easy just to be satisfied with today. That is the answer. Love your channel.
I guessed $88 USD… I was so close!! Loved watching this haul, btw! It definitely goes to show that being vegan doesn’t have to be expensive. ❤️
I guessed 120 USD because that's about how much that good would be here in the US for me!
I used to love your London grocery hauls!🧡
i miss london! hahah :)

Another fantastic video Rose as always and love 🥰 it.
Get well Miss Rose! Not a boring video.

I’m in Ontario, about an hour outside of Toronto.
Hi do you live alone ? the light in your hallway went off by itself 😮 xx
hahaha yes i do, the light in the hallway is an automatic one and turns off on its own after some time
Love your energy! Subscribed :) I'm starting a budget for the first time and needed to know how much I should set aside for groceries. I do get a lot of meat and cheese replacements and they can get very pricey. How long does this haul typically last you?
Soy milk and Pea milk I get and oatmilk for the coffee
Thanks!
Love the haul!!
Maybe you said and I missed it, but how long will this amount of groceries last you? Thanks for the great tips!
11:24 Yes please to an update.
If you cook beans, add some kombu to help dissolve the sugars.
This had to cost at least $75. I wish I could find a big bag of vegan ramen for less!! But this looks so similar to my groceries. would love a new tofu video, just for fun and inspiration.
My guess was close on price!

OMG, I just had a heart attack. I live in the netherlands and this would be at least double the cost. Food has gotten crazy expensive here...
How long would this haul last? I'm a single and cook for mys elf, so just curious! 🙂
I had those korean instant noodles, I added some veggies and stir fried with a sauce which had sichuan pepper in them.
I found a recipe in the last plant based bundle I found a recipe for vegan crab noodle soup.
Fun video! Mirrors my own but I add more fruit.
Your grocery haul similar to mine - prices just crazy now here in US.
Beans are cheap, particularly dried, but even canned beans cost less than meat, as does tofu, tempeh, and brown rice. Fresh produce is expensive for sure, and some sauces and marinades can be, but there are alternatives. Vegan cheese and yogurt is pricey, and I use gluten free products which are also expensive.

I totally guessed around $87 😊 awesome job 👏
translated the price into euros and it was about 80 euros! I wouldn't get all that stuff here for 80 euros tho :(
This is great for $86 US! Also, soy milk for the win ✌🏻
Use your insta pot and throw a whole 5 lb bag of potatoes in there with a cup of water and cook on high pressure for 30 mins. Then you have them ready with minimal effort
I love potatoes, but I don't have the patience to cook them 😅
Right now I love them in carrot soup
I guessed 137 at minimum...I guess it's because I'm used to getting screwed by galen weston 🙃
I would love to see a new tofu video 🧡
Yes, updated tofu video for veganuary.
Tofu is boss. Not only does it last long to begin with, but it freezes super well too. I have a relative that shops at Costco once a month and they buy me extra firm tofu from there. 4 pkgs for $8.
How big is one package?
@@rio8529 It's actually the same veand she showed in her video.
yes totally!!! tofu is so good!!
Tofu is not expensive though. It runs between $2-$3 dollars depending on the brand. Not really a deal at Costco. Unless, they come in bigger packages. I let go of my membership as I wasn’t saving anything there. (As a single person)
You did good rose. $120 is not bad at all for all of that
Thank you for making this video. I get super annoyed when people tell me that a vegan diet is "privileged" because they are in under the impression that it's crazy expensive.

I get my online food shop from Asda and I haven't been able to get edamame for weeks, now! 😢
I'm surprised that you never eat tempeh. I think it's the best protein source. Also, seitan aswell, even if it's not the healthiest thing ever.
Also, seeds and nuts are essential for me and it's recommended for people.
I order those Soon noodles from Amazon. So good.
Merci Rose
That soon vegan ramen is my FAVORITE. i buy it way too much tbh 😅
Everyone like and comment so rose can afford groceries at these exchange rates 😂❤
Excellent 🎉
Not vegan but I want a good silken tofu to beef up protein shakes because I have long work/school days. What kind is best. Also vegan mayo is gross because mayo is gross, sorry not sorry 😂
Shut up! I was like .. hmmm 120… I die! That’s wild! Woooop, tell me I wouldn’t win on the price is right haha!
Orange, rouge et jaune :)
Nice amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍👍
Rad-Life channel 🎉🤘🍍⚡️🌱
$80.... Yes, right at it!
120 Canadian dollars. Ouch
Top notch haul & fantastic price girlfriend 🎉
Love Ya!😉
I guessed $120 lol
Great vid, FYI the beef and chicken instant noodles is vegan, its all artificial flavors, I emailed them to double check.
Cheaper than I thought it would be but that might be because it didn't look like anything was organic.
Still got a crush lol
1) I love noodles when I’m hungover also
2) I’m English and think our instant noodles are no where near as good as Korean noodles
My guess $120?
About $130AUD
When you live in a big city in the US, but your Walmart supercenter doesn't have Great Value whole wheat english muffins 😭
$125
🤣🤣uhhh I need a banana....lol
$150
Tofu. I'm soy intolerant. Burmese?
30 pound's or 25 dollars
The groceries would have even been cheaper if you shopped yourself. :)
Work life, injuries, scheduling and all kinds of things happen in life that make not shopping for yourself convenient.
@@suzanneaubin7599 yes of course! I was just saying she would have saved more by not paying service prices plus tip. :). I was not judging.
She doesn't have a car. She normally walks to the supermarket.
And that’s for ONE person, and not even stuff like potatoes, onions, garlic, fruits, rice, etc.
Times that by 4 for a family of four.
And yes the Canadian dollar is sh*t 😅
And governments keep inflating prices of gas/food, basically everything.
Imagine $120 worth of meat. Not much!
Well shoot... I guessed $120 USD. Hahaha. Did I miss the soft tofu recipe "below"? Just tell me the title and I will find it. 😉

definitely takes more work than the average diet, but I used to do meal preps when I went to the office which made it easy!
Meal prepping!! I meal prep once per week and just grab and go.
Just wanted to add, when I wasn’t vegan and not meal prepping and cooking everyday….that wasn’t convenient either.
It’s all about planning, time management.
White people ramen? This is racist.
Please stop saying “we love a ____” it’s cringy.
