      Kudos, me too! Except a bug got to my plants and chewed the roots away so I must start over. But not a bad investment for 50 cents, eh?
      I'm growing lettuce and bok choi in a passive hydroponic set up... basically anything that holds water! I've got recycled almond milk jugs, soda bottles, milk jugs, dollar tree storage totes all growing greens for me. I tossed some onion roots in a compost pile and they grew back beautiful towering columns. Being somewhat self sufficient is a great feeling, innit?

      It's a good idea, if you can do it. It's important to note, though, that a lot of people don't have access to sun in their homes. If you're spending 40 dollars for a weeks worth of food for a whole family, you probably aren't living in a sunlit single family home with a yard, or a well windowed penthouse. There's a fair chance your in a small apartment, with small windows, and no yard. You may also be at the basement level, where all of the natural light is shaded by other buildings and the sidewalk.

      Yeah, my favorite easiest healthiest food has become a luxury item. People thought I was daft when I stocked up on tuna at 33 cents a can. I bought a whole case. Now that eggs are borderline unaffordable, I'm supplementing my meals with canned tuna that was on sale for the current cost of a single egg! From 8 cents to 33 cents each, this bird flu really messed things up. Luckily, the broiler birds are less affected by the illness and the price of chicken meat did not similarly sky rocket.

      How'd that go? Always hate the names of diets like Keto & Atkins but I like the function of them. Generally just want to make stuff that applies to them from somewhat fresh to fresh ingredients. Sugar is my biggest opponent, calorie wise I have not been eating much most of the time except on holidays sometimes. But I do want to cut out bread/grain especially at my current weight level, seems to be the main difference that and potatoes as well.

    A tip for cheaper chaffles- I use the “white bread chaffle” recipe and it doesn’t use any cheese! It’s egg almond flour baking powder and mayo (I also add garlic salt). I usually triple the recipe and try to make like 10 at a time.
    Then I do all open face sandwiches aka only use one chaffle for each sandwich. I use a piece of sliced cheese on top of the ingredients (deli meat, spinach, etc) to help hold it together for eating.

But he'll eat my food too. Its not fair that he trades money for convenience, and I trade time for savings and he benefits either way while I have limited options.

I really appreciate you briefly mentioning where people can go if they don’t have enough food. A lot of times when I see budget hauls and/or budget menus, too many times it’s no where near a tight budget, they come off as elitists (like in one video where expensive shrimp was bought) not realizing what an extreme type budget some of us are on.

    Thanks so much sunshine. I'm new to Keto and have been doing Intermittent Fasting along with Keto. When I purchased about a pound of almond flour @ a bulk barn, it was shy of $10. EEEK LOL. However, THANKS to your video, you're offering us a low budget way to help us get started.💚 It takes the stress off of us to not get overwhelmed with the new way of eating and rushing out buying more pricier options if it leads us to not even start. The Key is low carbs, perhaps between 20 - 30 grams per day, definitely No sugars (other healthy alternatives), definitely Nothing with white flour, using healthy oils, etc. I'm 1 person but can adapt portions to what you have shown us. Inspiration is much needed and you've done that here. Thanks so very much. 🌞💚
