As a family of 3, we spend around 300-400/month on groceries. However, a thing that I do differently is going to local farmers' markets and getting fresh fruits and veggies from there. They are locally grown, hence are sustainable and support farmers. Besides, they are cheaper or comparable to the ones in the grocery stores. Exploring the nearest farmers' market could be a good video idea too, if you'd like. They are fun, cultural and have an earthy vibe!
In Canada?
We have around 9 months of winter in canada, so we don't have farmers' markets when the summer season ends, unfortunately
$150 is fair enough. Everything is super expensive now a days here in Canada. I like the way you shop around for the best because at last health is most important :)
Hey Pooja, I have been a regular viewer of your channel and I just wanna say that your videos just lights up my mood so keep them coming! ❤
We are a family of 5 and spend somewhere around $250-$300/wk. We believe that we work hard and atleast we should get to enjoy the foods we want. We buy alot of fruits, veggies, chicken and sea food. Mostly we eat at home, eat out once a week, or may b twice if it's been busy week.
Awesome video..especially how u were looking thru the ingredient list.. clean food is always expensive so it’s a good choice
Best things to buy in Canada if you are poor:
-noodles/pasta, not rice (pasta is cheaper)
-buy bananas and apples (only buy strawberries/blueberries if on sale/for a treat)
-skip grapes, they are very expensive
-eggs, milk, and tomatoes are okay priced.
-veggies are cheap rn, not so much fruit
-between frozen fruit and veggies, buy frozen veggies, much cheaper. (Peas, corn)
-only buy frozen pizzas on sale
-meat and cheese in Canada are the takers, so shop wisely. Depending on the store I can find cheap cheese. Usually for meats I eat only 2x a week unless I buy ground beef or hot dogs and have extra leftovers for a 3rd day.
-expensive spagetti sauce is worth it imo because they have healthier ingredients
-juice, I buy the shelf one and then drink half water/half juice. Much cheaper.
-yogurt I buy on sale.
-deli meats can be cheap (sandwich ham, turkey, etc)
-don't buy sushi, expensive
-if you are from another country and want to cook a homemade dish with ALL the ingredients, expect it to be expensive
-ramen and kraft dinner are your friend when poor
-canned beans, tomatoes and soups are okay priced.
Rice, meat, and cheese are the most expensive.
It’s always a delight to watch your videos ❤️❤️
Great video as always! It was a really interesting seeing what a healthy grocery trip might look like in Toronto. I plan to move to Canada soon and stuff like this is hard to find.
Keep up the great content PEEKAPOO! :D
I live near Toronto and eat an excellent, healthy diet with all I want... for about $90 CAD a week for one single adult with a big appetite. CAD is about 25% less than USD so about $68 USD for a single person
Literally watching this while on my break at work !!
What else could I have asked for !🤷♀️🤷♀️
150$ is basic for two people for a week .Even we spend the same (just for veggies and fruits and nuts)
Wowww❤ my kinda video 😍😍 big fan of ur video quality and its fun to watch different varieties of food. 😍 please 🙏 keep making food videos .
Family of 4 here, and wow, we have noticed the difference in how much we are paying in groceries 😢 great video ❤
150 weekly is all fine and you can’t go lower specially if you have fruits and non veg. Grocery is now 1.5-2 times compared to it was before covid
@Peekapoo Hi pooja, what wireless mic you are using in this video? Thank you :)😀
Where do you get your Indian groceries from? Like which store?
Almond butter is everything, try it with honey crisp apples 😊
For fruits while Costco packings are huge but they last for a longer time and eventually they are more pocket friendly. Maybe try and run through it once and check the expense, I am sure you wont be disappointed! I see for a lot of items for the quantity you are buying is more expensive.
Hi pooja, We are also newcomers (6.5 months) We are spending around 120$ for family of 2 for a week’s groceries. I think whatever you are going to eat raw should be organic. Other stuff which you are going to boil or fry can be non organic as pesticides will be taken care. I must say me and my wife love watching your videos… lots of love to you guys… keep growing… ❤
All your videos are amazing 😻
Hey which software u used for editing
I buy fruits and veggies from Fruiticana.. it's much cheaper than anywhere else. My weekly spending on food is around $50.. maybe I should try eating organic food for sometime to see if it really makes any difference 😅
Switching to no frills saved us a lot of money. Never crossed $100 for a week for 4 adults. Please visit Stephen's no frills if u r in Toronto/Scarborough.
From where you get the organic meadow milk from?
It is always better to spend money on food that are good for you. If your groceries include things like Greek yogurt, almond butter etc, it means you are prioritizing your health but also if you are eating out more than usual, try to take that mindset over there as well. Order healthier option as it will not only make sure your are consistent with your health, but will reduce the cravings for food that are not good for your body.
I've been doing that, and is certainly helping :) Thanks for all your support ❤
@peekapoo when will you do a meet up in Toronto!! I love watching your videos ❤
Amazing Pooja. Im watching your video from Mauritius. I have watched almost all. I am planning to settle in Canada soon so your vlogs help me a lot. Can you please do a video at Kitchener and Waterloo whenever you are free. Keep well :)
Its so true grocery n food has gone up alot . Too expensive country to survive daily basis considering inflation
Very informative video, thank you so much for sharing. I always get confused to buy stuff from these places to know which one is healthy and which one is not.
Not related but I love the top and leggings you are wearing, please tell us where is it from🙃
It’s really frustrating coz whenever I go for groceries for just minimum staffs, $200 is gone like a cotton candy 😢
I spend about $1000/month on food for a family of 5 adults. I also shop like you, at higher end and lower end stores. I feel a monthly budget is more practical to judge how much one spends than a weekly one, because many items like mayonnaise, frozen meats, spices, etc will last for over a month.
Don’t worry we are also just 2 and spend equally
I only moved to Toronto about a year ago and I am shocked with food prices and poor quality of produce, fish and meat. I live alone and I spend around 600-700$ per month on food. I probably used to spend only a half of it when I was living in Prague, Czech Republic.
Love your videos and you're clearly better at budgeting than I am.
Where are you shopping the most? Some stores you are going to pay a bigger price tag for other reasons that people are not aware of, and the produce is NOT much different at other stores even though people think it is. It's all about doing your research, and also planning a little better, but it seems like people don't want to prioritize that. I do agree with the fact that the fish and meat is not as great quality. I tend to go to farmers directly and get my meat if I can.
I know you are a foodie type who can never be restricted but my advice to you is stop eating midnight food and try to drink lemon juice always it burns fat a lot .love you peekapoo always and would forever be your army
Desperately Waiting for your video❤
As soon as I saw you at FarmBoy I thought “this is going to be expensive” but their stuff is totally worth it if you have the money. For any non-Canadian out there, this is not ridiculous. Our grocery prices are stupidly high compared to most American prices. She could get her produce and meat for less, but she chooses to spend a bit more for quality and taste and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that if she can afford it.
120k congrats
thanks for all your support ❤
Can we count the no of times she said expensive in this video
Hey Pooja what's your and saransh height?
the amount of gas she spent to get simply orange lol
I was literally in the worst mood ever, scrolling through UA-cam and I thought "kaash peekapoo ka video aaya hota aaj" and here you areee..crazy how your videos just cheer up our lives. Love you. Keep going ♥
1:16 thats what she said 😂😂😂😜😜😜
Hi honestly that’s way cheaper in Canada for groceries
I live in New Zealand living cost is way expensive average groceries here is around 300 to 400 dollars for family of 3 depending person to person what brands of food items they choose😊
Yea, I think we could do $180 Canadian for a family of 3 a week with 21 meals each.
Walmart no frill costco freshco
It’s really good to invest on health, though prices are really high heard a lot about it
Kombucha is a lot cheaper to make. Super fun too :)
Very Excellent
Suggestion: Try No Frills, Metro for few items you will save for sure..
Oops I was drinking coke while watching this video 😂
Finally!!!!!
Abey oh.. this ISNT BASIC. are u a kid? Do u not understand how adults operate? THIS IS NOT BASIC.. grow up man.. this looks immature tbh
Food Basics, Freshco and No Frills will save you 20% off the more expensive shops... but $150 for 2 isn't bad... I think you could save a little by switching stores.
If you are going on a healthy diet, please stay away from that orange juice. It’s loaded with sugar. Kamboocha is nice and very good for the gut. But overall very nice video and very detailed as well.
Please also include how much you pay for tiffin service 😂 because this $150/week is not true reflection of how much u ACTUALLY spend on food
when has she been completely honest 😂
Hahahhaha ya
After eating that cheap tiffin food everyday she brags about Longos and Farm boy. Shoppers at Farm boy will never touch that tiffin food ever.
Nice video
Farm boy is basically the most expensive thing to do grocery in Canada you won’t see any desi’s making groceries here. The reason more organic food and is out of pockets. Asian families normally do food basics wallmart and fresco in Canada 🇨🇦 dollarama is the basic’s and ppl can’t survive without it.
Asli kahani ye hai yaha ki
If you live in Barbados 🇧🇧 that would of been $200 us that is good prices there
In St lucia 🇱🇨 as well . It would have been over $350 US
Oh really? wow!
I just came back home and the prices ridiculous.. living in Canada makes it even worse when I see the prices and left only a year ago
Lovely ❤❤❤❤
Good, only minimal and healthy grocery with no fancy stuff.
52 weeks per year x $50= $2,600
52 weeks per year x $100= $5,200
52 weeks per year x $150= $7,800
1 year (52 weeks) x $200= $10,400
Canada is expensive.
Farm boy is mucccchhhhhhhh better than wholefoods.
I love farmboy 😊too
@@Peekapoo i love the juices from farmboy the ones they keep in the organic aisle most of them are freshly squeezed and bottled.
My grocery bill is $600/ week. Family of 5 .
I have watched many of her videos and followed her in Instagram as well. But I don’t know if she receives 100s of dms or is it she considers herself a celebrity ,she will not reply to your dms where you have asked about some genuine information. Some Indian bloggers are so humble. They make sure to reply and respond. Unfollowing her and not watching her videos!! Bye!
Hey , your legging Brand? Please
It's from winners :)
I spend $50 or less weekly for a family of 4! Couponing helps a lot!! 😊
I don't know how this is possible unless you grow your own fruit and veg, live on a farm with chickens, goats etc.
you could try price matching 😂 but she wants to show off how he shops at farm boy 😂
Daily vdos we want!!!
The lady who spends money like paper is talking about expensive stuff
I know right 😂😂
You come Canada and you will also start talking about expenses too 😊
What about Dal, atta, chawal ?
That is not a part of weekly groceries since they are bought in big quantities and last for a couple of months 😊
@PEEKAPOO when I first came to Canada, I could relate to you. But the more time has passed, it feels like the videos are for a certain group of people and not for everyone. Because I no longer can connect to them. Just for example, most of the people I know do a mix of stores for their weekly groceries. Of course there is a price increase but we have several apps that show us the deals. This video did not make any sense to me. Please know that there is no hate here but maybe I cannot connect to u any more.
Peace!❤
Absolutely true this rich Indian couple showing a Canada that don’t exist for us. She goes to Farm boy for grocery, Canada is crying for recession and people are struggling like us. Absolutely true and pathetic
8:20 Your simple orange juice got expired on 23 March 2023.
Definitely its old clip before 23rd March
MA is May not March..😂
Not sure why you keep saying it’s expensive, who cares what you are eating and at what cost, stop showing off😅
Lately she has been using word expensive way too frequently and I don’t understand why to spend money at these expensive stores when you have cheaper options available
Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? What else would you call something which is high in value, expensive right? Or do you start drooling anytime you have to say expensive and your family understands it?
As a family of one i spend around 600$
My grocery bill has increased tremendously. 😢
❤❤
Grt video idea for two i also two gr ❤❤
Cucumber ek hii liya hai 😁
150 is not expensive I believe these days. Don't u buy milk????
Wht a joke whole Canadian people like us are suffering from inflation and high prices and she is showing us Farm boy, who can afford going to Farm boy and sometimes she goes to Walmart to get dhaniya, 😂
Oh u mean no one goes to farm boy anymore. Is it closing down
I mean Farm boy is not a place for middle class people like us maybe people like you can go there like Ms.Poo. As her targeted audience picks rich places for groceries.
Longest time
Stay healthy.
4 tamatar aur 3 aloo me 1 hafta😂😂
Thank you for doing healthy foods, all these channels people just buy the unhealthy versions.
Long term… not cheaper.
bunch of haters in these comments 😬 great video pooja i enjoyed!
she deserves it all lol
Yes. These haters are always soo annoying. Who forced them to watch in the first place. I feel it’s jealousy pushing them😂😅
👋👋👋
Why get jealous guys? Vert typical like Indians and Pakistanis! It's their money let them spend on whatever they want. Probably they can afford going to expensive grocery stores, stop telling them to go somewhere that is affordable, clearly they already know they have been in Canada for a while now. Stop judging!
People have different taste, some like spending on groceries some on clothes some on makeup, it's not our problem they are not asking for it.
nice ma`am👏👏
£25-£30 for one person
Hi Pooja

❤️❤️
