I'm not offended me and my mom when I was 4 we lived on the street and went to a homeless place and people was nice some time and let us eat in there restaurants but now I have a roof over are heads😀
Hey guyyyyss! Thank you so much for watching, your support and positive vibes means the world! Not going to lie this challenge is a lot harder than I originally anticipated so any tips and tricks for this week is much appreciated. Love ya! :)x
Freeze the bread to keep it fresh!!! Defrost it by quickly passing it under running water, I mean literally for 2 seconds , then pop it in a 350 oven for about 5 minutes, you’d swear you were eating a freshly baked loaf!!
Hi Taz, I literally am broke this month so I’ll give you some of the tips I’m living off at the moment. I’d recommend for checking the reduced stock if it can be frozen. Macaroni cheese etc tend to be really good for being frozen and they have to still sell these ready meals before their best before date so if you get them, just freeze them over night and most of them have frozen microwave instructions. Bread can usually be frozen and you can actually toast it under a grill from frozen (I’m not sure about a toaster with water). If you make pasta dishes like that, refrigerate leftovers and have it for lunch the next day (if that’s allowed). Soup is usually really cheap. Maybe put soup with pasta if it works out cheap? Hope this helps - Sophie x
You can microwave frozen bread as long as it not being smushed in there like she did in this video. It can't touch the sides or the water will mess up the electrical part. But I definetly had sliced bread frozen that u have put in the toaster.
Biggest tip for anyone who actually need to live like this: portion out the bread and freeze it. You can put it in the fridge the night before to let it defrost overnight but it won't be mouldy by the end of the week so if you manage to get a huge stick of bread like that then qt least you know how to make it last the week
@@hrithikasarvodayan you can put it straight from the freezer into the toaster (as long as you slice it before freezing) it tastes just as good as fresh!
I'll be honest, as a disabled person who, after rent, bills, and health related costs are seen to, really does have to live off only a few cents more that what you allowed yourself a day here (equivalent in the US at least), I'm glad you did this. It brings awareness to how hard it is to live with such a low income. Doesn't show the long term health effects but NO ONE expects you to risk damaging your body to prove that point. Only thing I wish you did was mention near the start that it can also serve as a good example of how people on fixed incomes sometimes have to survive. Also, sometimes I can't even cover all my health related costs when my health decides to really give me hell! How do they think that little is enough for a disabled person? I only have internet because my housemates cover that for me, knowing that being mostly home bound means I rely on the net as my window into the outside world so much. This "challenge" (more like experiment really) could actually make for a GREAT awareness project for what those in poverty and on a fixed income have to go through. We really don't get enough to survive as (at least somewhat, as everyone's case is different) independent adults and we have a higher cost of living than a healthy person because of the out of pocket expenses our health can cause us, just to really rub salt that we can hardly afford into the wound!
Stay strong!! You can get through this 💕💖💜💗💙💛 Also if possible you could try an app she's tried on this channel called "too good to go" maybe? Its when a company has food to spare so they sell it for wayyy less than it was to save it being wasted and you just pick it up from the store? Its not like leftovers and scraps it's actual meals but they're just like £2.00 or something
@@girlysoap9031 Sadly, there's is no end to this so I can't get through it. My health is just going to get worse as I age so I'm pretty screwed on that front.

It's like they forget that younger people can be worse off than a 90 year old if said younger person was unlucky enough to develop a bad enough condition or suffer the right (or wrong as the case may be) injury. And this is coming from someone who has seen 90 year olds with more mobility and less pain and health trouble than I have when I'm only 31! But no, I'm young so it can't be that bad, right? They can't possible need assistance programs for us too, right? UGH! . . .Sorry just, I eat one meal a day and haven't been able to afford my meds for months, and the government thinks that is just fine and it really pisses me off.

@@dinaf.k5372 I'm glad you wish to help. Really, an important part of that would be making people aware of the problem. You would be amazed how many people are shocked to learn that I live off of $9,492 USD a year when the national poverty line is $14,380 a year. People, legitimately, do not know how little we survive off of as disabled adults. Sure, my disability amount will go up once my last caretaker before I turned 18 dies, but they expect us to remain with our families and leach off of them until their deaths. I've actually had someone at the disability office tell me this themselves. When I asked what someone like me should do, as someone who is disabled due to the abuse that 'caretaker' subjected me to, I was, literally, told "Then find someone else to take care of you." yeah, I wish I was making this shit up. So, pretty much, if you're disabled, your family is not safe or cannot support you and your last caretaker is still alive, then you live well under the poverty line without reasonable options for additional income. Their rules for working at all are incredibly strict and they deduct any reported pay you get from your work out of your benefit check. So you're straining yourself to work and don't even get the perk of a closer to livable income for it! Plus many don't have enough health to jump through those hoops in order to work any amount in the first place. So yeah, do some serious research, help make people aware that this is an issue. Look into how many cities have resources that are available to someone just on the basis that they have a disability. You may be shocked to find how few resources there are that are actually accessible for someone who only needs help because they are disabled. I say actually accessible but, truth is, many of those resources aren't accessible to those with serious disabilities, and we can't afford to pay someone to help. People love to point out subsidized housing, not realizing that's a five+ year wait list in most cases when someone needs a roof over their head ASAP. A lot of those resources aren't anywhere near as available as most people think they are. I'm honestly still flabbergasted that there's so little awareness of this problem. I have had many people treat me like crap because they thought I was getting something like almost two grand each month, not realizing that, no, I don't even get $800 a month! And in case you're wondering, yeah, every single one has felt about two inches tall upon learning how much I actually survive off of every month. It really says something that I've gotten reactions of shock when people learn my actual income a few hundred times in the last 14 years.
@@floofthebird525 Sadly, I don't live in the U.S. But I will try do some research in my country. I've had a family member who died from a disability. Perhaps that is why I have soft feelings for anyone who goes through it. I guess I also feel bad for other countries who are in poverty or going through an ongoing war. They also deserve awareness as well.
I don't know why so many people are against videos like this Taz and I appreciate you and that one guy you suggested to watch from your other video. For me this teaches sustainability in so many ways and on so many levels. But it also shares with us the lack of nutrition available to those that do not have the money to spend and can open the eyes of the masses to make things like fruit, protein and veggies more attainable and inexpensive for them. I also think this shares how we can help others whether we have to live off of $1 a day or not. There are so many resources out there and our job is to be a blessing so that others are blessed. Thanks and bless.
I need Merch that Says “it’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine.” And maybe in tiny Captions “it’s not.” *EDIT* a Couple Weeks later and The shirt is now being sold! Thanks for all the Likes on the suggestion guys 💕 now Go and buy Taz’s Merch (;
*your skin is clearer than my eyesight* ⚠️ READ ⚠️ 1 / 11 / 2020 || people who have seen my comment has thought I have insulted Taz. I have not insulted her in ANY way possible, I thought this comment was a bit of a laugh. I am just saying her skin is amazing so you’ve misunderstood. But I’m not blaming all of you because it’s only some that think that. It’s fine! It’s just I wanted to keep it out there and I made this comment a year ago and people are still commenting if I have mocked her. 💗
I love watching these, it really helps me with being motivated about saving and looking for cheaper options. I work in central London so it gets really hard to go out and buy lunch for cheap but your videos and London Hacks have been motivating me to watch my spending a bit more
heather it’s because he’s not relatable so when people watched his video it was so disconnected from his audience but Taz has clearly presented she’s not rich like Alfie and people know that she knows what it feels like to not be able to have £3.50 filtered water everyday or whatever Alfie said he missed in his video.
@@keishaboles7845 Now I am the fucken liar? It your fucken fault for not stating it clear enough. You made it seems as if you can buy MANY items and ALL of it would add up to a dollar.

Cynthia Alvarez don’t worry I’m not triggered, I’m not that kinda person😂 but by watching the ad, the person who own the acc receives money anyway, but I’m not quite sure if you get money by clicking the ad, I’ve never heard of it, but it it possible :)
If you want an easy home made meal, I recommend chicken pot pie. You can use a lot of pre-made ingredients, like a can of veggies instead of fresh, or store bought roast chicken instead of raw and making it yourself. It's more expensive, but faster and less messy. First, you're gonna want to put a can veggies in a medium pot along with some chicken (or whatever meat you'd want) cut into small-ish pieces and add a can of cream of chicken soup on medium heat. You'll want to do about a can's worth of milk as well, depends on how much sauce you'd like. I would put in some slat, pepper, sage, a tiny bit of thyme, and a tiny bit of cayenne. You could also add cheese, that'll thicken it a bit and add some more good flavor. Adjust the seasonings however you like, I recommend adding small amounts at a time until you have what you want. Once everything's all hot and how you'd like it, dump it all out into a baking dish and put store bought biscuits on top. Stick in in the oven for whatever temp the biscuits require and take it out when they look done. I've been making pot pie since I was 11-12, it's really easy and really good. The most complicated part is finding out what spices you like best, but you can make it super simple with just basic salt and pepper if you're intimidated. It'll still turn out like good comfort food :)
@@Zak-ob5ze ypu have to boil tha water with some salt and then add the pasta and let it cook for 10/13 minutes (usually they write the time in the box)

1:44 very close but not quite! “positivity” in spanish is “positividad”. “positiva” actually means “positive”. it’s a small detail that im sure no one cares about but being fluent in spanish i just had to point it out 😂
Please, Please, Please, let the water boil before putting the pasta in. Put some Salt and Then cook the pasta for not more than 10 minutes, Italy is watching you 💞 Love your Channel anyway!
@@coffeewithsoymilk5466 Tell yourself to stop being rude He/She was just giving advice on what Taz is supposed to be doing when cooking the pasta so what's your problem?
I wonder how people don’t now basic cooking skills- and I’m not saying it in a rude way- but like she couldn’t stir pasta in a pot. Sometimes I just try to understand that they didn’t help to their mamas as kids?
@@PonysmithJenny Problably, I rarely help my mom in the kitchen and the only dish I can make from scratch is fried rice, I do have basic knowledge about cooking tho I'm still 13 so I can learn more but Taz really needs help 😂
I love that you did this for an entire week. Our little fam of 4 live on the equivalent of $1AUD per person per meal per day, and by no means do we starve. We do a farmers market shop, and then basic dry goods from whichever shop has them on special. We avoid packet noodles and try to fill up on dark greens and other nutrient dense foods such as lentils that are also super yummy! Cook everything from scratch, and buy fruit and veg in bulk from markets rather than supermarkets. Get creative with meals and really enjoy the cooking process :)
I know this might count as money bc of the electricity but just a general tip: *put bread in the freezer so that it will last longer!* this was a brilliant video by the way💚
Nah girl you shudda bulk bought everything, it would be better in the sense that people who are genuinely on a budget would get decent ideas from this. P.s you can get some butter/salt/ketchup for free from McDonalds (got this from London Hack's video)
Well when someone like a homeless person who doesn’t have the option to wait a week to get food when all they get could be 1 pound, they have to use that pound that day.
First of all she can't wait a week of the week would be over huh also bulk buying cheating and last of all have you ever heard of trying to stay heathy
In Australia you would literally get a chocolate bar or a lollipop for a dollar (pound). Nothing else 😂 the first day, bread, pasta and sauce your getting all of that for under a dollar here it would cost like $5 at the least if your damn lucky... it would probably be out of date for even $5 omg
I’ve had a look we can get pasta for 65 cents, n a can of chopped tomato’s with herbs for 65 too. One pound is roughly $1.56 here . Now the NQR ( not quite right shop) is gone it’s harder to access regularly extra cheap foods.
Yeah it’s soo easy to spend so much money on food even with homebrand, I don’t have Aldi where I am but I don’t think it would help much because everything is expensive 🤷🏽♀️
Well done for giving it a go! I lived on £1 a day for two weeks, last Christmas, to raise money for the Trussell Trust - it's called Living Below the Line. It's ruddy tough, everything has to be weighed, measured and accounted for, and you couldn't have as much as you wanted, whenever you wanted. I found that it really impacted my mood, and how I felt. The first night I did it, I fell asleep watching TV (I never do), and the morning after I did not have the energy to run to the bus, I had to walk. I still worked 6 days a week when doing the challenge and by the end of the challenge I had lost 4.5 kilograms. I think that if you have to live on £1 a day for an extended period of time, it would really impact you, it's supposed to be living, but it's more like surviving...
How to cook omelette: Get 2-4 eggs Pan/pot Get spices salt, pepper etc. A bowl 1. Crack the eggs 2. Put the spices 3. Mix 4. Put in the pan 5. When it’s golden take it out and fold it Next recipe: How to make spam: Spam Egg 1. Chop the spam 2. Then get the eggs and crack them 3. Bring them to the stove, and dip the spam in the egg 4. Then slowly place them on the pan (dont forget you need oil) 5. When them look crispy and golden take them out and eat them There ya go hope my advice worked?

I live in New Zealand so I don't know if this applies anywhere else but if you go to Mcdonalds and ask for a CUP not a bottle A CUP of water you can get it for free. So maybe you could use that tip in a future video.
You should have put the bread in the freezer! Then you can cut of a piece each day and put it in the toaster. That's how I keep my bread good, since I can't finish a whole breadloaf on my own
Taz is literally my fave youtuber. It feels like i'm watching a good friend doing this challenge. She is so real and kind hearted i feel in love with her personality. I hope everyone feels as happy as i do watching her videos :)) btw i really like her friend too, much love xx
TheIrishPotato14 dats true. I knew a person in nz who work in a bakery. They get free bread and put the ones they dont use in freezer and when need it. They took it out the day before to thaw it. Stays fresh for longer.
Rachel Coombs No, my grandma from my dad's side puts her bread in the freezer, and my 2 uncle's from my mom's side do it too. I live in the U.S. btw. :D
Taz You're so pure hearted, decent,funny,jolly minded,entertaining, friendly and i love your videos.nobody wouldn't be offended ig,cause there's lot to learn from here,like parents could teach kids or encourage them to be in budget and save money....best wishes for you TAZ💜

You are supposed to cook the spaghetti in a bigger pot filled with water. First off, let the water BOIL (boil means you need to see big ass bubbles, not the tiny ones). Next put the salt in the water and immediately after put the spaghetti it:) I am Italian and that is the right way of doing that, I hope I was helpful💗
wait you're supposed to put salt in the water after it starts boiling? o_O I'm gonna die when I move out. I've been cooking pasta wrong this whole time. XD

This idea would never work in the US. Everything is at least $1.
and if you do happen to find something under a dollar it'll end up being a dollar or over cause of the tax that they didn't list on the tag

@@floofthebird525 Sadly, I don't live in the U.S. But I will try do some research in my country. I've had a family member who died from a disability. Perhaps that is why I have soft feelings for anyone who goes through it. I guess I also feel bad for other countries who are in poverty or going through an ongoing war. They also deserve awareness as well.
I don't know why so many people are against videos like this Taz and I appreciate you and that one guy you suggested to watch from your other video. For me this teaches sustainability in so many ways and on so many levels. But it also shares with us the lack of nutrition available to those that do not have the money to spend and can open the eyes of the masses to make things like fruit, protein and veggies more attainable and inexpensive for them. I also think this shares how we can help others whether we have to live off of $1 a day or not. There are so many resources out there and our job is to be a blessing so that others are blessed. Thanks and bless.

Girl cut the bread and freeze the individual servings.
Kat ily actually freezing or refrigerating the bread makes it less fresh (I think).
@@casketbutter thats only the fridge. If you freeze it you can toast it after thawing out anyway so freshness wouldnt matter
@@lazygirltriesstuff8173 I guess but it's still in the reduced section and here that means it expires in a day.

All the Americans are surprised about how cheap stuff can be but have you tried aldi????
Yeah aldi's is really cheap compared to krogers and other stores and they have the same exact quality of food like other popular market stores.
Does Aldi really have stuff under 1.00? I've been going for a while with my mom but I dont think I've ever seen any prices like this before.
@@chey_daniella honestly the one i go to doesnt really sell anything under 1.00 unless it's like gum, small snacks, etc
Yup buy there all the time

If you want an easy home made meal, I recommend chicken pot pie. You can use a lot of pre-made ingredients, like a can of veggies instead of fresh, or store bought roast chicken instead of raw and making it yourself. It's more expensive, but faster and less messy.
First, you're gonna want to put a can veggies in a medium pot along with some chicken (or whatever meat you'd want) cut into small-ish pieces and add a can of cream of chicken soup on medium heat. You'll want to do about a can's worth of milk as well, depends on how much sauce you'd like. I would put in some slat, pepper, sage, a tiny bit of thyme, and a tiny bit of cayenne. You could also add cheese, that'll thicken it a bit and add some more good flavor. Adjust the seasonings however you like, I recommend adding small amounts at a time until you have what you want. Once everything's all hot and how you'd like it, dump it all out into a baking dish and put store bought biscuits on top. Stick in in the oven for whatever temp the biscuits require and take it out when they look done.
I've been making pot pie since I was 11-12, it's really easy and really good. The most complicated part is finding out what spices you like best, but you can make it super simple with just basic salt and pepper if you're intimidated. It'll still turn out like good comfort food :)
Shy Marshmallow Thanks! I tried out this recipe and it’s actually awesome, plus I had a lot of money to save afterwards. Cheers bro!

I love that you did this for an entire week. Our little fam of 4 live on the equivalent of $1AUD per person per meal per day, and by no means do we starve. We do a farmers market shop, and then basic dry goods from whichever shop has them on special. We avoid packet noodles and try to fill up on dark greens and other nutrient dense foods such as lentils that are also super yummy! Cook everything from scratch, and buy fruit and veg in bulk from markets rather than supermarkets. Get creative with meals and really enjoy the cooking process :)
I feel like I'm watching my future at uni 🙃🙃

She freaking broke in half the spaghetti to fit them in the pot, my Italian heart is crying...
Umbreon's Beats you let them soften up for a few sec and they eventually get all in the pot...

You can store the bread in the freezer divide into pieces and bake it for a few minutes it will be fresh 🙏🏻
Nah girl you shudda bulk bought everything, it would be better in the sense that people who are genuinely on a budget would get decent ideas from this. P.s you can get some butter/salt/ketchup for free from McDonalds (got this from London Hack's video)
San and water too :)
San true
Well when someone like a homeless person who doesn’t have the option to wait a week to get food when all they get could be 1 pound, they have to use that pound that day.
San that’s cheating bulk buying everything
First of all she can't wait a week of the week would be over huh also bulk buying cheating and last of all have you ever heard of trying to stay heathy
In Australia you would literally get a chocolate bar or a lollipop for a dollar (pound). Nothing else 😂 the first day, bread, pasta and sauce your getting all of that for under a dollar here it would cost like $5 at the least if your damn lucky... it would probably be out of date for even $5 omg
They have aldi in Australia, it’s cheap in there.
I’ve had a look we can get pasta for 65 cents, n a can of chopped tomato’s with herbs for 65 too. One pound is roughly $1.56 here . Now the NQR ( not quite right shop) is gone it’s harder to access regularly extra cheap foods.
Elise Michelle That is soo true 😂 But go to woolies everything there is cheap!
Leanne aldi is great but still wouldn't be under a dollar or two for 3 meals 😂😂 Australia is so expensive!
Yeah it’s soo easy to spend so much money on food even with homebrand, I don’t have Aldi where I am but I don’t think it would help much because everything is expensive 🤷🏽♀️

Well done for giving it a go! I lived on £1 a day for two weeks, last Christmas, to raise money for the Trussell Trust - it's called Living Below the Line. It's ruddy tough, everything has to be weighed, measured and accounted for, and you couldn't have as much as you wanted, whenever you wanted.
I found that it really impacted my mood, and how I felt. The first night I did it, I fell asleep watching TV (I never do), and the morning after I did not have the energy to run to the bus, I had to walk. I still worked 6 days a week when doing the challenge and by the end of the challenge I had lost 4.5 kilograms.
I think that if you have to live on £1 a day for an extended period of time, it would really impact you, it's supposed to be living, but it's more like surviving...

You are supposed to cook the spaghetti in a bigger pot filled with water. First off, let the water BOIL (boil means you need to see big ass bubbles, not the tiny ones). Next put the salt in the water and immediately after put the spaghetti it:)
I am Italian and that is the right way of doing that, I hope I was helpful💗
lampa dedromia it all still tastes the same?
I noticed as well.
lampa dedromia I'm pretty sure she know how to cook noodles you 6 year old
