- Part 2 of my How to Budget in New York series!
In this video, I teach you how to budget while grocery shopping. I spend about $45/week for breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday - Thursday and then breakfast and lunch for Friday and breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. This is the best way to save money instead of going out to eat every day.

WHO AM I?
+ My name is Brittany and I’m living life in New York. I love showing you guys what my life is like here in New York and what delicious places there are to eat and what fun things there are to do. Sprinkled in are some travel guides and make up tutorials. Your support means the world to me :)
Experience NYC through my lens.
Maybe a cool video idea would be shopping a super cheap grocery store run (for value) vs a whole foods type of store (for organic/convenience)
ooh that would be interesting! I did do something like that for my own knowledge and found that trader joes and fairway was only about $1 or more per item.
i thought it would be way more on whole food. but wow $42/week/person. u did a great job.
thanks! keep in mind it's a pretty simple lunch and dinner so nothing fancy haha.
So helpful. I'm planning,a,trip to NYC next year xx
Randomly found you channel today. Love these videos! Keep up the great work!
thank you!!
Love your videos, Brittany! You're one of the lowkey UA-camrs I really enjoy watching
ah! thank you that really means a lot to me.
Hey Brittany. I followed your grocery list for a month and it has helped me lose weight plus control my budget while living in Dubai. Thanks for the amazing video :)
yay! that's great to hear!
Big THANKS for doing this shopping video at Whole Foods especially. My son is moving there soon and we were wondering the ability and cost to buy healthy foods. This was perfect! Would love to see a video of lower manhanttan walking to places.... just a way for us to tour it as someone living there. Thanks again!
Cost wise he's much better off going to Trader Joes! They have a good variety of healthy foods for a quarter of the price of whole foods. I'm a college student in lower Manhattan, and I only go to Trader Joes.
Can you do that video on how you prepare the food! Thanks Brittany for sharing 💕
yes! I will
FOOKIN solid. Great video!!
Your budgeting is super on point O_O I need to learn how to meal prep like you! Do you only shop at Whole Foods? Or do you also go to Trader Joes?
yeah, trader joes is too far from us so it's not worth it. convenience :)
You can also try using coupons when shopping to get more bang for your buck.
Well done. Your grocery isn't included any junk food ( soda, juice, cookie...ect). So you are typically eat the same food every single day then when It comes to next week, you will buy different ingredients ?
yes, I generally cook once on Monday for the week and I get free lunch at work but if I didn't I would just pack lunch (sandwiches or salads). I will switch it up and do different meats and vegetables for the week.
Hello Brittany! new subscriber here :-) Please do videos how you prepare your dinner
I'll definitely make that video soon!
Expensive. I live in Zurich (most expensive city in the world) and EVERYTHING you bought except for the meat is cheaper here at Lidl or Aldi
Can you do your salmon recipe??? I don't even eat chicken but watched that too....lol
+Lila Love yes! I’ll film that one next
I like the idea of this video, however, I don't think most people eat the same items 4 days in a row. When variety is added into the mix, the food would definitely get more expensive.
That being said, if you buy food for 2 people (different items) then you would definitely get more variety and perhaps only a little more than what you spent per person.
Keep up with the videos!
haha yeah I guess I am unique in that I don't get sick of eating the chicken every day. but I do switch it up between the weeks so then other weeks I might do beef or salmon or something else. It's just easiest to make all 4 of the chicken thighs on Monday and then eat it the rest of the week.
Quit the organics and shop at western beef. For the amount you spend at whole foods, I can walk out of there with food for a month.
kelman liu western beef has really stepped up their game!
What is the name of that store and where is it located?
the grocery store? it's Whole Foods. they are all over the US.
Seshhh, I spend $95.00 a week in Alaska and I am starving.
What is the price per pound how much does a can
Price per pound for which item?
Disregard my comment... I am on hold for now....
I thought that you get lunch and snacks from your employer??
I do - this is a sample week for when I didn't work at my current company and I wanted to give people ideas for lunch since most people don't get free lunch at work :)
Got it. Thanks so much for responding. I'm
Sorry for that cut off. I also live in New York and shop at wholefoods almost exclusively. NYC definitely needs more Trader Joe's.
seriously! I was hoping they'd open one on the UES.
The only organic in my diet is my bowel movement lol
Canada is way expensive more than nyc
Ha no, the currency is just different. NYC is hella overpriced.
Lmao why are you going to Whole Foods and talking about budgeting
in manhattan where I live all the nearby grocery stores are pretty expensive so whole foods was only $1 or so more than other places and for convenience since I could walk there and carry my groceries, it's the best option.
Brittany Tran Jesus that’s a damn shame
