I love how creative these dishes were
Miss this type of video!!! Good job
Why dont you rinse the chicken
goat
So, I'm sure this is very informative and I was looking forward to it. However, your editing…can you just leave a beat or two between sentences? It's as if you're tripping over yourself and your narration feels rushed and makes me feel anxious. I don't know if you're trying to cram as much into as short of a video as possible, but I find this style to be very uncomfortable and unnatural. It may as well be AI narrating this video. I've watched one of your other videos, as well, and experienced the same thing. I wonder if you'll consider making things a little more relaxed for future videos? Thanks.
Not if you need organic; that’s probably $120 if organic.
Cutting through the oyster when breaking down the chicken hurt my soul
😭 you cut through the oysters also dont hold your knife with your finger like that
If you need at least $50 to feed you for a week you are either REALLY bad with money, A terrible cook or both.
Median income where I live is about 6x lower then in new york and the groceries cost about the same. It hurts to hear an american talk about how groceries are expensive 😀
Can you make video like this but all vegan? 🤗
Please do more of these videos. Great and creative use of same ingredients!
It will never not be crazy to me that you can't eat raw eggs in the US
sadly between a 200$ and 400$ grocery budget, it won't make much different if the rent is like 5k per months
Week? For €50 I'm set for 2, maybe 3 weeks
Life of Boris beat you to it 😛

Great video for my daughter who just moved out on her own 🤗. I’ll be sending her this video. Thank you
Where is the peach and almond cake recipe?
Another great video. You reminded me I need to make soup from a leftover piece of turkey in my freezer. Upside down cakes are my favs. 🎉
I was able to finish everything from this one week meal plan in 3 days
Oh goodness, the way I howled when you said “This 50 dollar meal plan feeds you for the week,” because wow, that unlocked a memory of the month I tried to survive on a strict budget and accidentally turned into a culinary MacGyver, standing in my kitchen whispering “Luise, girl, we have 47 dollars, a dream, and half an onion… make it work,” while my last two brain cells played pingpong over whether rice counts as a personality trait, and not gonna lie, that week taught me more about productivity and communication than any leadership seminar ever has, because come to think of it, nothing forces you to communicate with yourself honestly like staring at a grocery receipt and realizing you bought snacks instead of actual meals, and goodness, the moment I finally embraced the art of budget cooking, everything shifted, like the day I made a pot of soup so big it looked like I was feeding a small village, and I stood there feeling like a pioneer woman who had conquered the frontier with lentils, and funny enough, that experience made me realize how powerful simple routines are, because once you stop spiraling and start planning, your whole life feels less chaotic, like your confidence walks in wearing an apron saying “we’re thriving,” so now whenever someone mentions a 50 dollar meal plan, I’m like “okay, hear me out… that’s not just food, that’s character development,” and tell me, have you ever made a budget meal so good you questioned why you ever spent money on takeout in the first place?
This is the exact kind of video we need right now. Its bad but it's going to get much worse
Whole chicken for a week? Brother that chicken is lasting me 2 – 3 meals max.
Google doc below. I clicked and poked around but couldn't find it. Any hints?
God bless y’all ❤
Might be an American thing but it's strange your chicken broth is yellow. Mine is always brown.
Great video. What about that scum on the lentil chicken soup? I always take it off.
My mother taught me to cut up a chicken when I was about 12. I’ve taught my granddaughters. It’s not a big deal.
I greatly appreciate videos like this.
Mike, this is what you do best — show how to maximize every ingredient. Most of us are not homesteaders and never will be. But everyone throws away too much food and when you do videos like this, which don't involve fancy specialized equipment or gadgets, and don't involve fancy ingredients (other than the stuff you make yourself that most of us will just buy), you really show how to maximize food budgets in a time of rampant inflation. I have an aging head of cabbage and I'm going to make that pancake, and I have some aging lacinato kale that I'm going to saute with garlic and oil, blitz in the blender with some stock and parm and make a pasta sauce.
Love this kind of video. Very inspiring
Only cheap if you already have lots of expensive kitchen appliances, like air fryers, slow cookers etc.
It’s all wonderful 💜 Especially the cake 😂
THANK YOU, this is awesome!!!!!
What sauces did you make or use for the okinomiyaki? My husband and I got to take a cooking class in Japan and learned how to make okinomiyaki. Delicious! I know we can use the kewpie (sp?) mayo – what do you use for the soy-based sauce? Thanks for great videos that we’ve enjoyed for many years 🙂
That's a VERY big green onion, sir
THANK YOU SO MUCH for demonstrating how to butcher and then get the most from a whole chicken! This is such useful knowledge and it will really help me make the most of my money in a time when every dollar counts. This was the first one of your videos I’ve seen and I just subscribed!
Scratch cooking is the one ,but I eat my fair share of fat food because I use a lot of calories,no seed oils ,full fat salted butter only ,no processed food , multivitamins every day too just cover all the bases
One for the whole week? Yea I’m good, that’s ridiculous, don’t wanna be eating 90% veggies.
I miss those kinds of challenge videos! 🙂 Thanks! I hope there is a new sandwich series coming soon…
