      Is this open to people outside of the states? I would like to win this as I am a new subscriber who recently found your channel whilst looking for help with hypothyroidism. I've had ME for 5 years now and been on quite the journey of recovery. I am now dealing with hypothyroidism but determined to get fully "well" by the end of the year. Your channel is so inspiring to me. I'd love help with the cost of groceries 🙏

      Hi Katie! I've been following you for YEARS ... like big blue couch years. I chuckled when you said you got chomps as a snack because I started eating them after you introduced them in a video where you were singing "chomps chomps chomps," lol. Anyway, I should win the gift card because I have to travel 3 hours to get to my closest trader joes, so this would be a big help in my grocery shopping endeavors. I, too, have hypothyroidism, so finding gluten-free/dairy-free foods that are within budget AND taste good is hard. Trader Joe's has a lot of those reasonably priced items you mention in your video (like their cauliflower gnocchi). I would love to see more videos throughout the year featuring products you like to cook with. For example, I would have never tried the hearts of palm, but I will now look for it! Also, I love your quick meal-prepping videos or any videos where you are baking or cooking because they give me many ideas for what I can make at home.

    Living here in Canada we do not have Trader Joe’s. It’s just my husband and I and we eat a whole foods diet. We save a fortune shopping at Costco, just the toilet paper loan pays for the membership. There is a great variety of organic and grass fed cheeses meats and eggs. We buy our nuts and seeds, oils, meats, nut butters, almond and milk, and an endless variety of organic pantry items such as sprouted oats, coconut sugar, shredded coconut, organic diced tomatoes, beans, butter etc.. I also can buy our unscented Kirkland laundry detergent and dog kibble, such a savings!

      @@GoodandDelicious would be fun, but we live in Manitoba. Not just that, but the cost of fuel then add the exchange on the dollar, then duty on the products purchased, it would go way beyond budget friendly lol. I shopped once at a Trader Joe’s in Arizona, while a novelty, if I were American I probably wouldn’t frequent it that often as we eat mainly a whole foods diet and I think there are better prices elsewhere. It was fun though😁

    I am training for my first bikini competition in November 2023. I still have 25 pounds to lose and 10 months of training before hitting the stage! I am so excited and look forward to my continued transitition! I have been working 2 jobs, part time so I can have more flexibility to be availalble to help my mom. Money has been tight especially with the added cost of competiting. NO matter how tough it gets, or how many mistakes I make, I am not giving up! This is the first time that I am doing something good just for me. Not for approval, a relationship, not for a job and definitely not just to get into skinny jeans. I am so out of my comfort zone but I know it's the only way to the best version of me and for that I am grateful :)

    I recently got off birth control, looking to regulate my cycle and get back all the nutrients lost. I’ve been diving deeper into my health and wellness.

Trying to eat organic, wild caught fish, pasture raised meats and even supplements or healthier alternatives. I love watching your videos.

    Hi Katie! I’ve recently gotten super motivated to finally lose that 50lbs! I’m currently down my first 5lbs and excited to keep going and not just give up! I really feel this is finally it for me. And I have you to thank 1000% for that. I’ve been binging your content over again to help me keep motivated. That $100 will help me in my new grocery budget for sure! I recently switched my whole house to clean eating and as a mom to 5 kids (oldest 7, youngest 9months) you can imagine that grocery bill is a scary sight haha. I could also use it to buy your peanut butter protein powder haha! I already have your vanilla chocolate, miss congeniality and wing woman, all are amazing! My husband has even started stealing scoops 😂 I feel so much better fueling myself with guilt free nutrition. I recently bought your new pink drink mix and it’s amazing! I’m excited to see the difference in my skin! I’ve been enjoying your workout app too, but that is my one area I’m struggling to stay motivated in, your quick workouts on their are perfect for my procrastination. Thank you for making these videos and being such a positive role model on the internet! I especially love the grocery hauls and what I eat in a day videos for inspiration! Sending love, grace, and positive vibes to you and your family! God bless! -Kelly

It was a wonderful thing but I just did not have time to take care of myself the way I used to. I am trying very hard to get healthy and feel my best again! Thanks for your tips and tricks.

I try my best to meal prep and eat healthy my son was just diagnosed with a rare bones disease and now he is eating healthier as well. Win or loose, what your doing helps so many people. Thank you

    Hi Katie! I looove Trader Joe’s too. Last year my health wasn’t that great and it drown me mentally and physically of course, so I started realizing that you really are what YOU EAT. This year I started appreciating nature more and what it gives us and started taking care of my body consciously, not to much for fitness even though I enjoy it but for my own wellness.
    I want more fruits and veggies and your REWARD will help me a lot to enrich my body with food nutrients.
    I am also preparing my body to start my pregnancy journey so it all connects together.
    Great tip I’ve received: eat more of what God has made.
    Did he made the avocado? Yes, so eat more of that.
    Did he made the potato? Yea, so eat that.
    Did He made potatoes chips? No, it’s processed a lot so eat less of that.
    That’s how I think when I shop, MORE of what God made( whole food) less of what humans made.
    - never said don’t ever eat process because ice cream is delishhh but LESS.
    Thank you Katie!❤

    I'm a grandma to 5, run three companies and very busy. I'm super ambitious, but to a fault. My own health has struggled because I don't say 'no' enough which takes away from self-care. I'm working on that though! In the meantime, I've gotten into the rut of placing orders for curbside pick-up, which, as you stated, costs way more and gives you less control in the items you are receiving. Often times, if I actually get to the store in person, I discover items I didn't know existed. Every little bit helps the budget, so grocery money is always welcome. Regardless, your videos are fun, make healthy decision-making easier and inspire me. Thank you!

    I’ve been struggling with my hormones (PCOS + high cortisol) and have been slowly integrating new habits to support me on my healing/health journey! Learning about cycle syncing and how to eat more balanced, after years of restrictive diets, unhealthy habits and healthy eating confusion. The biggest barrier has been cost of keeping up with groceries and supplements. The 100$ Visa would help cover the cost of some supplements I haven’t been able to afford along with some healthy grocery items that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to buy. Thank you for putting out such great content for us, Katie! ❤❤❤

However, we just bought a house and I cannot wait to start the LSF meal plan!!

    I love your tips & tricks! I am a household of 1, and it's so tricky buying/cooking for 1 serving size or 2. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!! The big challenge for me is having some leftovers; but not too much that it gets old before I can eat it. I did enjoy that you bought protein you could freeze for later, the quinoa pasta was new to me - I didn't know they made that product, and learning more about the benefits about bone broth was very interesting. I learned something new from you too about which oils you should & shouldn't heat. Thank you for that burst of knowledge! I refrigerated my bag of lemons, but being just 1 person, I couldn't use them in my green tea fast enough, and they dried up. 🙃

    Also a great way to help make your fruits and veggies last longer is the Rubbermaid fresh works containers - I tell you they help keep all my fruits and veggies fresh for like a week or more!! I eat a lot of berries and hate when they get mushy; gotta be crisp or in the blender they go!

    I love your grocery hauls as they put me back on track with grocery shopping. I always watch them with a pen and paper so that I can add to my grocery list right then and there as I’m watching. Love your health swaps and meal preps as well.
    Please choose me for receiving the gift card as I have to drive 45 minutes to Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods and I could really use the boost in gas and grocery money. Love your channel!

    Oh my god, I just went grocery shopping last night. Food is so expensive. Thank god we can still use WIC but even with that it’s SO expensive. My partner gets food benefits every month but it’s NOT enough because we still have to supplement my sons nutrition with formula. He LOVES your oatmeal breakfast cookies with cashew butter! I work full time but most of it goes to rent & utilities. I refuse to let nutrition come 2nd or 3rd to anything. I do love the LSF protein too but it’s something I splurge on or ask for as a gift. I got chocolate for Christmas! Anyway I would love to see more of the morning and evening routines. Love those & the holiday treat ideas for different occasions. I made those Christmas treats like CRAZY & everyone loves them: my family, my coworkers. So great! Luke is SO BIG already! He’s perfect, oh my gosh!! 78 degrees in February?? NOT FAIR!!! It’s freezing here (Boston) Thanks Katie! Thanks LSF! I love my move app. I use it every day at the gym or at home on the weekends. Hugs to everyone who’s doing their best everyday. That’s ALL of us! ❤

    Hi Katie! Thanks for sharing. These are great tips! It’s so tricky buying and prepping for one. It feels like I’m always throwing away spoiled food before I get to it if I try to do one big food haul for the week or running to the store every other day if trying to be more aware of food waste, but then I end up buying extra stuff that I didn’t originally plan on because I’m on my way home from the office and hungry.

    Love seeing a solution to cleaning/storing berries, I normally wash as I use them which is almost daily, it gets a bit tedious. The budget advice is much appreciated, with 2 kiddos it becomes a challenge to accommodate everyone's grocery wishes, stay healthy, & on budget... usually, they're the ones accommodated lol! Stay well, everyone!✌🏻🩶

    13:21 Hey Katie! I love following your journey! I would love to win the $100 gift card so that I can continue to fuel my body with healthy staples. I have lost work recently(my Dad has Stage 4 Cancer and had 2 medical emergencies within 3 weeks) I’ve been forced to depend on food banks for food. I quickly learned that food banks only give out expired foods and even moldy vegetables. Being selected winner would give me the chance to purchase fresh & organic produce & food. Thanks for always being an inspiration Katie!

    We spend so much at the grocery store. We shop every two weeks, so try and get enough so that we don’t have to stop during the week for one item. I’m vegetarian and my husband is not so much harder with two different meals needed (mostly dinners are the hardest).

    Hi Katie, I've been following you for a few years now and might I say I absolutely love your channel, it has brought so much motivation into my life. I have hashimoto's, I was doing good shopping healthy foods for a while up until recently. It's gotten to where I cant afford to shop healthy foods now everything has gotten so high. And after I pay rent and Bill's I barely have enough left to buy groceries. My health has started declining since it's hard to buy healthy food these days. I just want to be healthy again😔 but, I will continue to watch your videos bc you are an inspiration and I thank you for everything!❤

    Love your videos! Great tip about washing blueberries with baking soda. Never thought to do that. I get blueberries and strawberries every week for myself and my kids and wash them right away and put them in the refrigerator. Having healthy food washed and ready makes it easier for them to reach for instead of junk. Food prices are crazy expensive right now. I’ve always been a healthy eater and try to find healthier alternatives for my four children which is hard sometimes when healthier food sometimes tends to be more expensive. Having a $100 gift card would be so helpful right now. I would love to see more grocery hall videos and meal preps. 😊

I never thought of it like that so thank you for that advice ❤️ I would love to see more videos of meal prepping!

    Hi Katie,
    Well, where to begin...on my journey with you, I've lost 75lbs. I still need a few more to come off. You've taught me how to eat clean amongst other things that, unfortunately, my parents and family never shared growing up. Wasn't the thing, I guess. Anyhow, with what I've gained, I was able to share with my daughter and boyfriend. And because of you, we are healthy. We all second guess what we want to eat versus, wait a minute. " What would Katie do? "..Lol!
    Having this gift card would help a great deal. We just had to sell a vehicle as my daughter's tuition for dyslexia school is outrageous, along with some other struggles we are having. I just know that I gave up on some things for myself so I can fund and give my daughter what she needs. But this Momma wants her groceries....Thankyou, Katie

    Love your videos! I just had my second baby a few weeks before you had your sweet baby. I had the worst pregnancy experience this time around. Lost 30 lbs because I couldn't eat anything. I'm really seeing the consequences of this now. I'm anemic and my hair is falling out in clumps. Winning this card could really help out with getting more nutrient dense foods.

Trying to meal prep while feeding my husband and two kids is a challenge but as I'm going through HBMP makes things a little easier. Finding groceries on a budget is helpful too!
