So refreshing to see a "normal" vegan grocery haul where not everything is either super expensive organic vegan gourmet foods or raw fruit! Love that you included treats as well, let's be honest everyone needs some from time to time. This is one of the few vegan hauls I've watched that seems completely "real". Thank you!
+Lisa Doser agreed as well, it's good (and healthy) to see more protein & base food sources as well like the beans - those entirely fruit hauls aren't healthy at all in my opinion!
Are those foods the only ways to get them? I was told we don't get them at all and gave to supplement. (I haven't done much research on B-12 yet, I just got done researching iron and I'm going down the list).
Betty-Alexandria Pride yeah its hard to get them unless you eat plant milk or cereal fortified with vitamin b12, otherwise i think you’re supposed to supplement
This is exacly why I fell in love with your channel. Normal, cheap, accessible food. It makes it more relatable to a bigger audience that does not have vegan food replacers. On another hand, your groceries are pretty similar to mine. I usually get original and unsweetened almond milk (one for cooking savory stuff and other for the rest). I buy a lot more fruit because I looooove smoothies (plus, tropical island xD). Peanut butter and jelly because love. Some soups for when I am REALLY lazy. Avocados are a must if they are in season. Other things like pancake mixture, oatmeal, lots of tomatos and onions and such.
+Nicole Castillo Yes, avocados for the win!! I love avo, but I don't seem to buy them as often for some reason ahaha thank you so much for your comment and your suggestions too :)
This is great! So many people think being vegan is expensive, but in reality it's so much cheaper! This is exactly what my grocery hauls look like, lots of beans, rice, potatoes, bananas, and frozen veg. Love it!
The worst part of my journey is that I know nothing about cooking. So I have to learn to cook and how to shop and what to eat. And I'm only 15 and I'm doing it by myself so. Yea. Getting a job as soon as possible so I can just buy my own food. UA-cam shall be my guide. Thank you so much for providing this resource for me.
I'm 16 and the only vegan in my house hold I cook all my food in big batches and freeze some then can microwave it when needed , it's all about prepping and knowing what to eat , making a meal plan allways helps me x
+B.A.D. Dickie Yeah but keep in mind that soaking remove the phytic acid that prohibit owr body from absorbing minerals, espacially calcium, iron and zinc.
Hi Rose :) Did you know about the quick soak bean method? It is really great in a pinch when you need beans and you forget to soak. You just bring your beans to a boil on the stove top with lots of water. Once it is boiling you pull it off the heat and soak for one hour (no more than two hours.) Then you just rinse, drain and cook as normal. I almost always do it this way because I usually forget to soak them at bed time. Also, since you love cooking dried beans so often a pressure cooker might be a good investment for you because they make bean prep seamless and fast!
+Jamie Robinson That's an awesome idea!! I also did use my rice cooker to cook beans but I think I slightly burned them by accident ahaha i'm definitely gonna try your quick soak method! thank you so much
it's great that you are buying lots of things in bigger bags, that way you reduce your waste tremendously (vs. buying a ton of small bags). I just wish potatoes wouldn't come wrapped in plastic at all the supermarkets although sainsburys now offers some loose as well which is great! chickpeas are my favorite, they are the best :)
+The Minimalist Ninja I think because I ordered online, even if I bought potatoes that weren't pre-packaged, they would put it in a plastic bag. I try to limit my plastic waste by not getting the food packaged in plastic bags when I get them delivered :) thanks for watching xx
I used to be a vegetarian for a long time and recently switched to a vegan diet. I've been absolutely loving it and I feel fantastic. I love vegan butter, it tastes so much better than the real stuff. This video was quite helpful to refresh my memory on what to buy. I love how healthy everything is:)
I have a similar experience. Veganism is fantastic! I can save the animals, the environment, and my health, and I finally, for once in my life, have been motivated to form a more strict, structured diet.
I'm vegan and so incredibly lazy! your videos are making my life so much easier and also i'm now eating food that tastes so amazing! so glad there's other lazy vegans haha!
I pressure cook the whole bag of beans and then freeze them. Saves on money and time in the cooking process and they are easy to just take out the amount you need from the freezer.
This video helped me more than you will know. When I compare what I was eating now compared to before I was vegan 3 months ago, I am disgusted at my past self but excited for the future. Anyway, thanks for the great inspiration.
THE BEST THING FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME LOL. I know that this isn't the end all be all, but this will definitely help me sit down and start organizing how I'll build my foods. Next, I'll start to work on building meals from the foods that I like and find alternatives for what I don't like. Thank you for this helpful, informative, well thought out video!
Betty-Alexandria Pride hardest thing for me is how they make all these vegan meals from SCRATCH!! IM like DANG??!! IS that the only way to be vegan? I can't buy already made things at the grocery store? My nearest whole food market is an hour and a half away 😞
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but the almond milk (and indeed other carton beverages) that has the sticking up 'bar' and the roof shaped lid, denotes, at least in the uk it does, that this is a chilled, conventionally pasteurised product and must be kept refrigerated. Tetra paks with the flat top or a slanted flat top are uht pasteurised.
+Finding Fay I have definitely tried some sort of Linda Mcartney sausages, but I can't recall which one it was!! they were really yummy though. thanks for the tip!!!
I'm 13 and a new vegan. This video was so helpful. I still have the same house hold products from before I became vegan but I am never buying them again once they are finished and replacing them with a cruelty free product instead. Right now I feel great physically and mentally. Thanks for the video!
Haha, I laughed when you showed jarred pickles with Polish label "Ogórki po kaszubsku". I'm from Kaszuby in Poland and it's nice to see our delicious accent on the other side of the world :D
I would like to see a series from you, that would be about a specific ingredients, like for instance chickpeas, broccoli etc. on how to prepare them, how to store them, your tips on what to make out of them. You do give that info sometimes in your videos but it would awesome if you would have a special video for it and it would be easy to find it!
+upchur09 yayy!! i also got their meat-free pieces (i think that's what they were called) - i haven't really tried them properly though. gonna have to try the spicy burgers :) thanks for sharing!
Hello! I'm Algerian and we tend to eat couscous on the regular. My advice to you is, try to find brown couscous because the white one can cause digestive problems if not eaten with a lot of vegetables. Have a nice day~ :)
You could also add: Brazil Nuts for Selenium, Pumpkin seeds for Zinc, Essential Ground Linseed, or Chia seeds, or Walnuts for vital Omega 3 Essential Maggi stock cubes for Iodine Also : humus,olives, , yeast extract for Vege gravy, salad, soy yogurt, tofu, palm oil free peanut butter, mixed herbs, Ginger, and Pasta if you like
I found this so useful! I'm going to try to change my diet to full vegan in January and was looking for a good beginners store cupboard guide that's British supermarkets (I live in London too) so thanks!! Do you have any videos of sort of a top five beginner vegan meals that are easy to make with these kinds of ingredients? I feel super motivated o clear out and buy lots of good stuff now thanks again! X
I love the little hits of Helium the narrator takes, just makes the whole thing more entertaining ;) other than that I have most of this stuff in my cupboard so I know I'm on the right track. Thanks !
brown chickpeas is called 'chana' in our asian language.. u can make a curry with onions, green chilli paste, chilli powder, salt, ginger, garlic, carrom or cumin seeds, mustard seeds.. fry the onions, seeds then ginger etc. lastly a pinch of turmeric
This was so inspiring iv been vegan all my life and sometimes you do get lazy and want something on the go-as well as prep for the weeks ahead! You helped so much-thank you xxx
I know I'm super late but my mom taught me this trick. We soak ALL our beans within that week of grocery and we cook all. After they cool, we freeze them in bags and whenever we decide to make something with beans it's just to thaw out and reheat cuz they're already cooked!
Thank you, you make this so easy to understand and very straight forward. You are a super cool messenger for a healthier world and eating for the planet.
Omg! I'm from Puerto Rico and I'm gonna have to start ordering from that UK website. lol Everything is so cheap where you live. Here on the island everything is so expensive. Btw, love your channel and your content. Definitely gonna try your recipes. Keep up the good work. 😊
Peurto Rican (and any Caribbean) food can be vegan too. There are so many vegetables and fruits on tropical islands that you can use to make vegan food :) Here's a website to give you some ideas - Good luck :) nuestracena-vegancuisine.blogspot.de/2011/01/pastelillospuerto-ricos-no-1-fried.html
Great video! Very helpful to see what vegan people eats. How long will this last you aprox? I really like all your videos very practical and easy to follow. :)
omg this is a REALLY good video!! I was hoping a vegan out there would make a grocer haul b/c i find myself buying the same things every week and I'm starting to get bored and am scared that I'll lose my track of vegamisn! its great to see what other people buy and what kind of stuff i can incorporate into my diet :)
not even a minute in but I already thumbs up the video because it was SOO HARD finding a good video detailing this without a long winded bs intro. I can already tell this will be soo helpful so thank you I appreciate this very much xx oh also a tip: I think it would be helpful if you included where you did your shopping! or if you know the best places to buy certain items for a better price. you gained a new subscriber :)
great video I can't get over how people always got to find something wrong with everything, couldn't find anything wrong so had to complain about your hands, and the gestures you make with your hands don't compare to the screeching of hands on a chalkboard/blackboard thank you for sharing was very helpful for my transition
The left had almond milk is the carton sold in the fridge and the right hand is sold on the shelf. Reading the descriptions online they are both UHT (ultra heat treated).
+hayley welsh Pretty sure the slopey topped one is fresh/chilled whereas the flat top one is UHT. They must have got them mixed up at the store when they were packing.
That's right. As Hayley says, UHT is heat treated so that it lasts longer. It can be stored on a regular foods shelf (usually near the cereals) until it's opened, then it needs to go in the fridge.
Thanks. I’m slowly but surely becoming more curious about this way of eating. Especially after recently watching What the health, and forks over knives
Just found this out last week but you can freeze already prepared beans so once you've soaked and cooked your dry beans get rid of the liquid and put them in a freezerbag and they should be good for about 6 month in the fridge! Havent tried it out myself yet (have a very small and therefore full freezer but when the space is there I'm for sure trying that! Heard they should taste just the same too!) :) Just thought as an alternative for the canned beans! :) Also, I can seriously recommend Oatlys ikaffe (alt. in coffee (?) I dont know if the title is the same for the english market or not)! Im not vegan yet but working my way there and that oatmilk was by far one of the better milk substitutes for warm bevarges (I've only tried it in tea, never used milk for anything else) but its really good! :)
The almond milk with the flat top is meant to be in a pantry for baking. Almond milk does better in baking when room temperature. The one on the left is meant to be refrigerated. The baking one is great for bake stocking almond milk. Or if you are like me, the smaller size helps when you dont drink it that often.
It's probably already been said, but just in case.. emulsifiers E471 and E472e which are in a lot of breads are both animal derived. There' a great app called E Additives where you can search any numbered ingredient on food packaging and it will tell you where it comes from and if there are any known ill effects caused by the additive. There are breads without those additives in them, just have to spend some time checking the labels :)
Wow your videos are soooooooo inspiring and helpful !!! I'm new at this vegan lifestyle (2 weeks in yay) so I needed some advice and your account is the best so far on the subject !!!! Keep going you got it gurl 😜
I'm just starting to be a vegan. And this video will help me and know what I need to buy to stock up on. I wanted to ask,can you make a video of meals that I could make with all vegan stuff please? Thanks!
Great video :) Just a note - dried beans and grains can last a very long time - over six months, but they do go off at some point where they dry out and are impossible to cook, so check the date of expiration on every package before you buy. 50.00 pounds may be a fair price in the UK, but people living outside of the UK need to consider current exchange rates and factor in shipping rates if they want to order from there - it's better to find equivalent items available where the person spending the money lives :) I bought locally available versions of the items in the video when I lived in the US and later I applied that same principle when I moved to the UK and now I get the local versions of these things where I live in Germany - so it can be done. :) I find eating this way saves me money no matter where I live. Basically, most dried, frozen and bulk whole foods are cheaper - so learn how to make some yummy lentil soup, etc. ;) Good luck!
........this is pretty much exactly what I buy...... Although I think pineapples are really cheap I tend to cut 2 of them up and freeze em to go with the frozen berry's and banana in a smoothie. and God bless Asda honestly it makes buying food so cheap and easy 😂
I'm not vegan yet, but on my way to vegan lifestyle and I find your channel really helpfull. I've been binge watching your videos for last couple of days :) P.S. Ogórki po kaszubsku, this is so nice to see a polish accent in here! :D
I know this is old. but I always re-watch these, for reference and I love your channel. the difference between the almond breeze milks are the calories . I just noticed. I don't know why, they would have different packaging.. but great video
thank-you for making this video. we keep some of the same staples.. my fruit vary' s .. I keep some of the same basic veggies.. and frozen mixed veggies.. or what ever is on sale. I put my dried products in plastics containers. so bugs won't get to them. and my sugar.. and I put . my flour in the freezer.. stays fresher. and again no bugs.
Those pickles are polish. I really love sauerkraut(pickled cabbage) it's very good for detox, vit c or to make a cabbage soup. It should be next to gherkins on the shelf :)
Pretty cool haul! I would highlight olive oil. In the blue zones of longevity, people consume lots of olive oil. Great with beans, stir fry, soup,base, vegan ,aye, etc. That is definitely a staple. We care for animals here until death do us part, but I can see how the dairy industry would be perceived as cruel if the magnifying glass were to shine on it. Too many animals treated as commodities. Animals are not commodities, they are living, breathing, feeling higher forms of life. I am vegetarian, and use organic dairy very sparingly. I suggest that being a conscientious eater is the best eater, knowing where your food comes from and how...seeking to reduce ecosystem and impacts! Good luck!
Yeah button sprouts are Brussels sprouts, I'm obsessed with those too. My son loves peas lol, I found some vegan butter (dairy free anyways) only 90 grams of sodium in a 2 lb tub I'm not sure if that part is healthy or not. But it lets me have some buttered toast when I want it, lol. My son and I put nutritional yeast on our toast and it makes it sort of cheesy.
Thanks so much for this! We have a Natural Food store here, but other than ingredients for my recipe's, I never get all I need. Since this is general staples, I can really use it for shopping.
Hi, just for information Alpro is a Belgian brand, not a UK one, i didn't know that you can find these in Canada, that's amazing ^^ There is 2 other flavour of pudding (caramel and "milk" chocolate), but also yogurts, deserts, drinkable treats (the berry mix drink is sooo good) and 5 types of non dairy milks :)
They are Brussels sprouts, just a bag of small ones, hence the name! They are not usually called that. I miss Asda deliveries! We moved away from the UK to Gibraltar and have Morrisons, who do not deliver here!
So I watch this vid a long time ago and since it was in my recommend, I decided to watch it again and I'm so glad I did because I realize I was unsubscribed ??? NOW I NEED TO GO WATCH ANY VIDEOS I MAY HAVED MISSED 😭😭😭
Not even I buy that much food, maybe 1/2 of that at a store, every week or week and a half. I always make sure I have bananas and unsweetened soy milk, beard, rice, lentils, pasta, potatoes. Maybe some apples(food to eat on the go like bananas, or nuts( chia seeds, peanuts))
So refreshing to see a "normal" vegan grocery haul where not everything is either super expensive organic vegan gourmet foods or raw fruit! Love that you included treats as well, let's be honest everyone needs some from time to time. This is one of the few vegan hauls I've watched that seems completely "real". Thank you!
Totally agree! We don't exactly have whole foods on every street corner- or the budget to shop there!
+Lisa Doser agreed as well, it's good (and healthy) to see more protein & base food sources as well like the beans - those entirely fruit hauls aren't healthy at all in my opinion!
+Lisa Doser awww so sweet of you!!! haha yes, i gotta have the treats ;) thanks for your lovely comment
+princesscharlott1983 who can afford whole foods in this economy?? lol
+Sonia Iyer it's all about the beans!!
If you watch this with no sound it's just her tapping and caressing the food over and over and it is hilarious
Tyler Mueller 😂
Am I the only one who was concerned about how hard she kept smacking those products? 😂😂😂😂🙈🙈
you're not the only one. lol
Cheap Lazy Vegan No hate, lots of love darling Rose xoxox
I realized that same thing when I saw her smacking the bananas lol
Reatile Maphoto IT BOTHERED ME SO MUCH I ALMOST COULDNT MAKE IT THROUGH THE VIDEO
for vegan people don't forget your B12 (tempeh, tofu, mushroom, fortified foods, vitamin) and omega-3 intake (flax seed, chia seed, spinach, cabbage, etc)
Are those foods the only ways to get them? I was told we don't get them at all and gave to supplement. (I haven't done much research on B-12 yet, I just got done researching iron and I'm going down the list).
I hate mushrooms
Betty-Alexandria Pride yeah its hard to get them unless you eat plant milk or cereal fortified with vitamin b12, otherwise i think you’re supposed to supplement

You should get an electric pressure cooker! No soaking, you can cook dried beans in 30-40 mins at high pressure. It is amazing.
+B.A.D. Dickie
I should cook them with a pan before I use my pressure cooker just to appreciate my pressure cooker more.
I put them in my rice cooker! Soaking removes flavor anyway.
+B.A.D. Dickie Yeah but keep in mind that soaking remove the phytic acid that prohibit owr body from absorbing minerals, espacially calcium, iron and zinc.
I've been cooking 500g beans every Sunday and freeze them. easy to pop in
I literally did that today lol

Hello! I'm Algerian and we tend to eat couscous on the regular. My advice to you is, try to find brown couscous because the white one can cause digestive problems if not eaten with a lot of vegetables. Have a nice day~ :)
You could also add:

Essential Maggi stock cubes for Iodine
Also :
humus,olives, , yeast extract for Vege gravy, salad, soy yogurt, tofu, palm oil free peanut butter, mixed herbs, Ginger, and Pasta if you like
+optizap awesome :)
Alpro is not a UK brand, it's from Belgium! :)
This looks a lot like my groceries on a stock-up week, but I do a bit more with greens. Love the pudding idea - I'll be adding that to my repertoire.
I found this so useful! I'm going to try to change my diet to full vegan in January and was looking for a good beginners store cupboard guide that's British supermarkets (I live in London too) so thanks!! Do you have any videos of sort of a top five beginner vegan meals that are easy to make with these kinds of ingredients? I feel super motivated o clear out and buy lots of good stuff now thanks again! X
so happy that you live in the UK and that i can more easily recognise all the products and general prices of stuff! Very big help thank you!
I love the little hits of Helium the narrator takes, just makes the whole thing more entertaining ;) other than that I have most of this stuff in my cupboard so I know I'm on the right track. Thanks !
brown chickpeas is called 'chana' in our asian language.. u can make a curry with onions, green chilli paste, chilli powder, salt, ginger, garlic, carrom or cumin seeds, mustard seeds.. fry the onions, seeds then ginger etc. lastly a pinch of turmeric

Try cooking lentils with rice in a rice cooker .they go so well together
great video I can't get over how people always got to find something wrong with everything, couldn't find anything wrong so had to complain about your hands, and the gestures you make with your hands don't compare to the screeching of hands on a chalkboard/blackboard thank you for sharing was very helpful for my transition
YES! I love making grocery hauls!
The left had almond milk is the carton sold in the fridge and the right hand is sold on the shelf. Reading the descriptions online they are both UHT (ultra heat treated).
And, u rock for putting the list on the drop down. I don't always have time to write down while watching. This let's me shop w ur list.
What a pleasant surprise to see that you live in the UK! Glad I found you, thanks!
yey! Polish pickles!
+Czikita Bonita Polska Pickles Duma!
+Czikita Bonita yay I was right! it was polish! haha
she taps the bags every 5 seconds omgg
one of the almond milk containers says 27 calories and the other says 29, like what?
+hayley welsh Pretty sure the slopey topped one is fresh/chilled whereas the flat top one is UHT. They must have got them mixed up at the store when they were packing.
+Callie Weylin Does that mean one is in the fridge aisle and one is on the shelf? what does UHT stand for?
***** UHT it ultra high temperature processing
That's right. As Hayley says, UHT is heat treated so that it lasts longer. It can be stored on a regular foods shelf (usually near the cereals) until it's opened, then it needs to go in the fridge.
+hayley welsh I know it's a mindfuck. This is why I was so confused. lmao.
Thanks. I’m slowly but surely becoming more curious about this way of eating. Especially after recently watching What the health, and forks over knives
This is very helpful for starting vegans like me. and you are of Asian decent, so your flavor profile fits mine perfectly. Love your videos!
The Almond Breeze on the LHS is fresh so you have to keep it in the fridge & the other one is long life so you can keep it outside
I'm from the UK and we call them brussel sprouts. I think button sprouts are smaller, rounded versions of them like button mushrooms!
+Plum Guntrip either way - they are delicious haha thanks for watching xx
My first week being vegan and this is super help full, thanks!
Just found this out last week but you can freeze already prepared beans so once you've soaked and cooked your dry beans get rid of the liquid and put them in a freezerbag and they should be good for about 6 month in the fridge! Havent tried it out myself yet (have a very small and therefore full freezer but when the space is there I'm for sure trying that! Heard they should taste just the same too!) :)
Just thought as an alternative for the canned beans! :)
Also, I can seriously recommend Oatlys ikaffe (alt. in coffee (?) I dont know if the title is the same for the english market or not)! Im not vegan yet but working my way there and that oatmilk was by far one of the better milk substitutes for warm bevarges (I've only tried it in tea, never used milk for anything else) but its really good! :)
The almond milk with the flat top is meant to be in a pantry for baking. Almond milk does better in baking when room temperature. The one on the left is meant to be refrigerated. The baking one is great for bake stocking almond milk. Or if you are like me, the smaller size helps when you dont drink it that often.
+friesxnxcoke great tips!! didn't know that about almond milk and baking! :) thanks
It's probably already been said, but just in case.. emulsifiers E471 and E472e which are in a lot of breads are both animal derived. There' a great app called E Additives where you can search any numbered ingredient on food packaging and it will tell you where it comes from and if there are any known ill effects caused by the additive. There are breads without those additives in them, just have to spend some time checking the labels :)
Wow your videos are soooooooo inspiring and helpful !!! I'm new at this vegan lifestyle (2 weeks in yay) so I needed some advice and your account is the best so far on the subject !!!! Keep going you got it gurl 😜
I'm just starting to be a vegan. And this video will help me and know what I need to buy to stock up on. I wanted to ask,can you make a video of meals that I could make with all vegan stuff please? Thanks!
Great video :) Just a note - dried beans and grains can last a very long time - over six months, but they do go off at some point where they dry out and are impossible to cook, so check the date of expiration on every package before you buy. 50.00 pounds may be a fair price in the UK, but people living outside of the UK need to consider current exchange rates and factor in shipping rates if they want to order from there - it's better to find equivalent items available where the person spending the money lives :) I bought locally available versions of the items in the video when I lived in the US and later I applied that same principle when I moved to the UK and now I get the local versions of these things where I live in Germany - so it can be done. :) I find eating this way saves me money no matter where I live. Basically, most dried, frozen and bulk whole foods are cheaper - so learn how to make some yummy lentil soup, etc. ;) Good luck!
Awesome video concept! Thanks for sharing :) Really motivating!
+Lisa Emerald Thank you so much!
........this is pretty much exactly what I buy...... Although I think pineapples are really cheap I tend to cut 2 of them up and freeze em to go with the frozen berry's and banana in a smoothie. and God bless Asda honestly it makes buying food so cheap and easy 😂
'This is I believe a UK brand' while slapping the Alpro's package that says 'Made in Belgium'. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! :)
This was EXTREMELY helpful. Thanks for sharing.
I'm not vegan yet, but on my way to vegan lifestyle and I find your channel really helpfull. I've been binge watching your videos for last couple of days :)
P.S. Ogórki po kaszubsku, this is so nice to see a polish accent in here! :D
I know this is old. but I always re-watch these, for reference and I love your channel. the difference between the almond breeze milks are the calories . I just noticed. I don't know why, they would have different packaging.. but great video
So satisfying to see it all laid out! x
+Kim Burnett (HelloItsKim) hahah I know right, I was so proud of myself. thanks for watching xx
thank-you for making this video. we keep some of the same staples.. my fruit vary' s .. I keep some of the same basic veggies.. and frozen mixed veggies.. or what ever is on sale. I put my dried products in plastics containers. so bugs won't get to them. and my sugar.. and I put . my flour in the freezer.. stays fresher. and again no bugs.
Those pickles are polish. I really love sauerkraut(pickled cabbage) it's very good for detox, vit c or to make a cabbage soup. It should be next to gherkins on the shelf :)
Pretty cool haul! I would highlight olive oil. In the blue zones of longevity, people consume lots of olive oil. Great with beans, stir fry, soup,base, vegan ,aye, etc. That is definitely a staple. We care for animals here until death do us part, but I can see how the dairy industry would be perceived as cruel if the magnifying glass were to shine on it. Too many animals treated as commodities. Animals are not commodities, they are living, breathing, feeling higher forms of life. I am vegetarian, and use organic dairy very sparingly. I suggest that being a conscientious eater is the best eater, knowing where your food comes from and how...seeking to reduce ecosystem and impacts! Good luck!
Oh, I totally recommend sainsburys packet beans. They come in tetra packs which is much better than canned. Bit more expensive but worth it :)
The small containers of alpro yoghurt with citrus is really really good, so creamy and tasty
+Stine Kirkeby my god alpro changed my life. I should work at alpro. haha
This is awesome, I was just about to go and shop for vegan products for the first time. Thank you.
+blackened08 yayyy!! :)
Yep, the pickles are Polish! i don't even like pickles that much but i'll always spot my country haha
Thanks for this video! I just showed it to my mom, since she never knows what to buy for me and this really helped! :)
Nice haul! can't wait to see what you make with all that food!
Yeah button sprouts are Brussels sprouts, I'm obsessed with those too. My son loves peas lol, I found some vegan butter (dairy free anyways) only 90 grams of sodium in a 2 lb tub I'm not sure if that part is healthy or not. But it lets me have some buttered toast when I want it, lol. My son and I put nutritional yeast on our toast and it makes it sort of cheesy.
+Sarah Adam haha yeah i don't think there's anything wrong with a little vegan butter! I also love nutritional yeast
The difference between the two different shapes of almond milk packaging is that one is UHT and the other you have you keep in the fridge.
Thanks so much for this! We have a Natural Food store here, but other than ingredients for my recipe's, I never get all I need. Since this is general staples, I can really use it for shopping.
+Judy Price awesome!! I'm so glad it helps :) thank you for watching xx
That much food would cost the equivalent of about £120 here (Jamaica).
Hi, just for information Alpro is a Belgian brand, not a UK one, i didn't know that you can find these in Canada, that's amazing ^^
There is 2 other flavour of pudding (caramel and "milk" chocolate), but also yogurts, deserts, drinkable treats (the berry mix drink is sooo good) and 5 types of non dairy milks :)
oh, i've never used almond milk for oats/cereal before, but i've used in for hot chocolate (not much taste) and curry
They are Brussels sprouts, just a bag of small ones, hence the name! They are not usually called that. I miss Asda deliveries! We moved away from the UK to Gibraltar and have Morrisons, who do not deliver here!
Alpro is made in Belgium, pretty sure they're sold in a lot of countries in Europe! We've got them here in Sweden too.
+No More Murder that's awesome!!! I should be their brand ambassador :)
ASDA I remember it well!! I lived in the UK for 10-plus years.
pretty spot on to my grocery hauls as well! Great vid :)
i just became a vegan yesterday so I NEEDED THIS!
So I watch this vid a long time ago and since it was in my recommend, I decided to watch it again and I'm so glad I did because I realize I was unsubscribed ??? NOW I NEED TO GO WATCH ANY VIDEOS I MAY HAVED MISSED 😭😭😭
Such a good video for starting vegans! I will definitely share this to newly vegans who need help buying stuff to eat!
+VeganMadeYeezy thank you so much
:)
I also check labels to make sure it is egg/ lard/honey free etc.
Ogórki po kaszubsku!! 😊😊 Yaaay! I'm from Poland 😃 You should try bread from polish shop. Polish bread is the best!! ❤️❤️
Not even I buy that much food, maybe 1/2 of that at a store, every week or week and a half. I always make sure I have bananas and unsweetened soy milk, beard, rice, lentils, pasta, potatoes. Maybe some apples(food to eat on the go like bananas, or nuts( chia seeds, peanuts))
