  • Can you enjoy a day out in Seattle, one of the more expensive cities in the US, with just $20? I put this budget to the test back in 2019, and now I am revisiting it to see how much costs have gone up!

    Monica, Yes, please do another trip where you can spend only 20 dollars. There are so many things you can do in Seattle and it was wonderful to see Seattle through your eyes.

    Definitely do it again. Or do a couples day where you and Jason each have $50 and you have to spend a day as a tourist in Seattle and you have to have a date night ending. I’d love to see you do Smith tower

    Do it! And maybe raise it to $30 since we know prices have gone up so much after the pandemic.. set your goal at $20 but max is $40 so u have more wiggle room and its more realistic..

    I was just in Seattle for a mini vacation with my partner and we managed to stick to our limited budget pretty well. For food, try Mod pizza (we split a $12 generous size pizza between us, or it's so much food it can be lunch and dinner for 1 person) and also Chuki's! The food was so so good and prices were really affordable.

    Fun video, and you demonstrated something key ... inflation is very uneven across the economy, driving up prices of some things dramatically and leaving others almost untouched. Food seems especially random. Ten years ago, I could buy an apple on the street in New York City for $1. Last week, I had to choose between three Granny Smith for $3 or three Red Delicious for $2. So, no price increase for apples in ten years. Tacos did not do as well.

    Yes! Please do another day in Seattle and maybe factor in inflation from 2019 to 2023. According to an online calculator I found, $20 in 2019 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $23.87 today, so you could go with that and call it even.

    Gasworks park was first fertilized with solids from the waste treatment plant (sewage waste). Consequently it grew a lush crop of volunteer tomato plants, and the locals liked to pick the tomatoes. Shortly afterwards the park was closed off for awhile because the “authorities” felt that the contamination from the gasworks operation made the area too toxic. Later, they had a change of mind, and reopened the park. Just thought of that because of the berry you picked.

    • @SqueakyHinge
      @SqueakyHinge 10 місяців тому

      Years ago in the Washington DC area the Beltway (495) that goes around DC started sprouting tomato plants in the green spaces between the traffic lanes. A researcher found out why tomato plants started to grow in a place where people don't go. Seems the State of Maryland took the dry sewage from the local sewage treatment plant and used it as fertilizer on the green spaces. In that dry sewage was tomato seeds that get passed through the human body as tomato seeds don't get dissolved by human digestive systems. So for years there were great debates as to the suitability of people eating those tomatoes.

    Very entertaining. Here's a thought: One idea could be to demonstrate how to give away half ($20 - $10), then somehow double what remains ($10) until you reach twice as much as you began ($40). A lesson on charity. "Give and it shall be given unto you" lesson if you will. Your videos are always great to watch. Thanks again!!

    You definitely can eat 3 meals for $20 in Seattle:
    1. I would go to Spicewaala for lunch and get one of their rolls ~$7
    2. If you want some from Pike Place I would get half a sandwich from Michou Deli ~4
    3. Dick's is great, but Red Mill way better ~6-8 for a good size burger
    4. For dinner many options, but my goto Chicken Teriyaki from Teriyaki Madness, feeds like two people super well ~7-9
    5. Breakfast would recommend Dim Sum King $1-$5
    6. Also, for dinner would recommend any Ethiopian restaurant in Seattle, literally can feed 5 people on $20, my favorite is Zagol, get the Zagol combo for $18, it feeds like 4 people

    For $20. You just head to the winco in Seattle. There are plenty. You get 2 days of food for 1 person. You can do it. But that is not eating out of course.
    My grocery bill for a week, just for me, $60. There are a lot of food!
    $60, I can go 1.5 week. 1 small person tho.

    Great fun to watch this and if you do another one keep Dick's in there as it's truly affordable and delicious. I would add sitting down at a cheap place with a view just for drip coffee at Columbia Building Starbucks (40th flr, free to visit) or Lowell's at Pike Place where it is a bottomless cup (3.50 but free refills and ability to sit down at table with a truly astounding view on 3rd floor). Also bring a Seattle Times paper (2 bucks) so you aren't just contemplating Seattle's beauty the whole trip. ha ha. Cheap eats: Mee Sum in Pike Place has 5 dollars hum bows. Numero Uno Pizza in Pioneer Square $4.00 a slice, Bartells Falafel sandwiches $5.00, Banh Mi Sandwiches are usually about 5 bucks in international district.I wish you could fit the water taxi ride but its 6 bucks one way to Alki.
