This sir is one of your best vids. Quality family meal on a budget and a reminder to support your local restaurants if you can. I really enjoyed this one.
Thank you for this video. We can’t afford to eat out, but to be able to do a restaurant quality meal for a fraction of what it costs to eat out is a big deal! Much appreciated sir. Well done!! Bravo!!
This is a once-a-week special occasion meal, not every day. The organic poultry at WF is a far cry from those woody, tasteless factory farm specials. There is no comparison between a WF organic russet and what you get in 5 lb. sacks. You can't produce restaurant quality without superior food stuffs.Thanks, Chef Billy for breaking down and simplifying this lovely meal.
Hi Chef, I've been subscribed for about a year now, love them and have made about a third of them. I do the food shopping also and make 2 to 3 meals a week. These "Shop on a Budget " videos are the best, very helpful for ideas about the upcoming week. Thanks again 😊😊
As you always do, another helpful and informative video. I’m glad to see you addressed the topic of “timing” while making this video. I watch a lot of cooks on YT and rarely does anyone discuss timing. I find it to be the hardest part of cooking a meal. I always do my prep first, but timing 2 or 3 components of a meal, by one person is a challenge. I would like to see more videos from you on this topic if you can. I think it would be very helpful to a lot of home cooks. Thanks for your wonderful channel. I was watching well before you hit 100k viewers. Please keep it up. We appreciate you 😎🌵🌴
I love Aldi, I go there often as well. The problem is they don’t always have what I need, which makes it hard to go there, especially if I need to create a specific recipe.
@@ChefBillyParisi Yes, that's understandable. I'm lucky enough to live close to six different supermarkets, and next door I can get the best fresh ingredients from a local farmer. But occasionally, I do have to go into the city if I'm looking for something a bit more exotic (usually spices or different types of mushrooms). It's alarming how much prices have risen over the past four years
The number one way to save money on groceries is not to shop at Whole Foods - aren't there many people who mockingly call the store "Whole Pay cheque"! Just go to your local cheaper grocery store and buy the best quality ingredients you can where it makes a difference, and by cheap, grocery store brands where it doesn't. But I get it - I see from your comments that you went to WF because they were the only store in your area that got back to you and let you film there. I get it that WF has better quality, but for me shopping there is for a treat only, not my daily groceries.
Everybody is commenting on Whole Paycheck! Ugh, good food costs money. I’m with you, I shop at WF. Yeah it costs more, but my health and the great tasting food makes it worth it. Today people don’t realize that our bad health in America is because we don’t eat good food. I’d rather spend the money on good food and give up going out to eat
FABULOSITY. I'm a life long home cook. I love these kind of "budget challenges" and use them to teach my teenagers that stopping for $14 "value meals" at CrapDonalds is a really bad idea. My go to is a pound of pasta of choice, I stock up pantry when on sale 5 for $5.00 at Safeway. A pound of bulk or links of Italian sausage, again I buy on sale, maybe $4 to $5. Blanch brocolli in pasta water or toss fresh spinach with warm pasta, about $2.00. A can of crushed tomatoes. Olive oil from pantry and Parmesan from fridge. Dinner for 4 for maybe $10. My other go to is two grilled chicken breasts sliced, regularly on sale at my Safeway for $1.97 / pound. Penne or rigatoni pasta. A jar of Trader Joes pesto, like $3.49. A can of black olives (getting expensive, but worth it). A bundle of fresh washed spinach. Toss all together, maybe add sliced zuchinni. Again, a quality meal for 4 for about 10 or $12.
@ChefBillyParisi thanks Chef. Your content and techniques are fantastic. I started home cooking in about 1975 - I'm 56 now - at the hips of my mom and Italian grandma. Watched any PBS Julia, Jaques, Frugal Gourmet (before his implosion), and Great Chefs of the Southwest I could find in pre-cable TV. Your approach is spot on: good ingredients, basic techniques done right. Keep it up!
Chicken paprikash over spaetzel would be a good option for under $40. If you haven't done a video on that let's see your take on the dish. Gotta be my favorite chicken dish!
Works for me, thanks. Looking forward to more. If you're looking for suggestions/requests, I had a dish in a restaurant, must have been 40 years ago, that I'd love to see how you would do it. It was a pounded chicken cutlet, breaded and fried, probably deep-fried, with a half peach on top. Likely run through the salamander for a couple of minutes. Served with pilaf and ? vegetable, in a cast-iron cook/serve pan.
Come on Chef! Weren’t you taught to never prep or cut your protein (especially chicken) on a wooden board? Very unsafe and high potential for contamination and food poisoning!
If I'm understanding the concept of this video, you're trying to save money in this video. Why then are you shopping at Whole Foods? Everyone knows that Whole Foods is much more expensive than most grocers for no reason. You could get more product if you went to another grocery store. Seems like you don't know how to economize. Also, when one shops at Whole Foods, they overpay at least $5-$7 on average. Or, everything I've said was unnecessary and you just wanted to show off your money.
Well, because they were the only grocery store that allowed me to film in their store in my area. None of the other stores got back to me. If you shop there correctly and use their deals, it can be quite economical.
A couple things here. They were the only grocery store in my area that actually got back and gave me permission to film in. Also, no one I know goes to as many different grocery stores as I do and if you shop the deals at WF, it can absolutely be as cheap as a regular grocery store. Lastly, I want quality food, I’m a chef, and I know I can get that at Whole Foods just about every time. If you can make this dish at your favorite grocery store, then do it, bonus maybe you can save even more money. Thanks for watching!
I only go there for one particular brand of kefir ‘cause they’re the only ones around who carry it. And I’ve to pay a mini fortune for it. My brother in upstate New York gets it locally for half the price. Son of a bee 🐝 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude stfu 😂😂 there's millions of adults who wear their hat backwards. Yes, we should all stop because some loser on UA-cam doesn't like it 😂😂 grow up dude, welcome to the real world
Ummm no it's not. That's patently wrong. When you buy stock either in a can or the cartons you're paying out the nose to ship around a lot of heavy water, because that's what that is. They buy the same boullion base that you get in the cubes, or the better than bouillon paste, and add water to it. You get a lot more for your money going with either of those than buying the ready to use stocks/broths off the shelf.
@@wrigley60 If you care about the organic part, that may sway you. but that doesn't change anything about the main point of what I said, in that you're paying to ship a bunch of water around.

I honestly shop everywhere. Costco, local jewel or Strack and Van Til, but mostly Whole Food. I've worked with premium grocery stores in the past like Heinen's out of Ohio. One thing I know to be absolutely true is that the more premium grocery stores get first pick of the highest quality freshest produce, proteins, etc. They pay a premium price for it and this is why it's more expensive for us. However, on the flip side it also lasts longer. If you're someone that likes to grocery shop every 2 to 3 days, then a local fruit market or regular pick and save grocery store may be a better option. I will say, grocery shopping at Walmart has definitely turned me off/away the past few years. It's not longer an option for me.
@@ChefBillyParisi Great point about the filming. Im British and live in Poland but I think it's inportant for people to know that you can often make things cheaper but if you can afford it, some better quality ingredients do make a better taste!

Whats insane is that is hard to feed a family of 4 for $40! We are talking about one meal. If we spend $40 a day for dinner and the average household income is ~59,000 we are talking about people spending a quarter of their income on dinner each year. Ridiculous
Fan of the channel, not a fan of this format. Feels artificial and forced. I do like the bit where you time out the cook; that's super helpful and informative.

That looked great, I’m going to try that sometime soon. Hardest part looks to be cutting the chicken breasts into pieces
You can do it!
$40.00 for 4 people is extremely affordable, considering the price in restaurants. Excellent portions and dessert!❤
Thank you so kindly!!
Good stuff.. lately I've been shopping at the dollar store.
Nice!! make it work!
@@ChefBillyParisi yes, it's amazing what you can get the dollar store... And yes I have some parsley..lol
Wow double that in Canada plus if your kids are older than 12 years of age
WOW!
Nice use of time though the meal was not under $40 but what a concept. Can’t wait for the next edition.

not even close hah.
What town in Indiana ? I live in Crown Point ?
CP here as well :-)
@@ChefBillyParisi Woohoo!! Love your channel Chef and welcome to Indiana!
Looks delicious but my kids would never eat it but i will make it for the adults.
What would you estimate that would cost in a “really good” restaurant?
You’re probably looking at $130-150 plus tax, drinks, and tip.

Not 365 chicken stock! Bonafide chicken stock, please. Takes like home made 👍
C'mon chef! In italian its called zabaglione.
sabayon is actually a hair different than zabaglione in that dry white wine is used as opposed to marsala.
@ChefBillyParisi thanks. Learned something new! Man, you really are a class act, sir. Really appreciate your content.
it still derived from zabaglione, and it’s really the French version of it :-)
Doo this each week especially in this economy. And also good struggle meals using "low quality" ingredients like Great Value stuff from Walmart.
For being in a small town in Indiana you’re grocery store is probably as big as four or five of mine combined and way better options
