Could you do a video on your philosophy for your life? You touch on it every now and then but, would like to hear a dedicated video on that from you. You have many people like myself who sort of look up to you. Even if its vague with some general ideas it would be nice.
Juan really? That looks like a pretty standard meal, to me. One thing to note is the body size. I don't know exactly how tall he is but he looks to be between 140 and 170 pounds. I'm 5'9" 155 lbs for reference, and i think i eat around the same for a meal as the fish dish he showed and I am never very hungry at the end.
Amazing! People who really know about nutrition know that eating less is far healthier than a very overfed world that we live in... you are so motivating and wise! Thank you.
If everyone did this and invested the difference over time, depending on age, they could retire waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay earlier...in years...possibly a decade if one started extremely early. I've been tracking all my expenditures to the penny the last ~6 years. The #1 thing I wasted money on (and still): eating out (out of convenience or boredom). People #&*$# and complain all the time about not having enough money. Often times they do, they just don't practice defensive spending.
I've only started following BtB and dave ramsey for a year now, and I will retire at 40, a millionaire instead of 65, broke and waiting for my SS check.
To save money ob beef I buy whole sirloin roasts for about $2.89 a pound. Then I put it through my food processor to make slivers of beef. I stir fry it and put it over veggies.
Have you considered incorporating beans into your diet? Dry beans are very cheap, very healthy. I eat about a half pound a day. Under 30 cents for half my calories.
I appreciate how you see things .... i do similar things & i use a scale for my freezer meal portions , i cook mixed rice & grains , pastas , & pack into serving portions ... sometimes i like somethings on rice & other things on pasta , i can choose which “ starch “ i want depending on my mood ... i love chow mein , so i cut fresh veggies ahead so i don’t have to always spend so much time for food prep , i freez portions of bacon to two thick slices ... cut in half to make 4 pieces just right for anything i want as a sandwich , fried rice , or pasta & bacon ..... meats go from 4 oz to 8 oz portions depending if they have bones ..... i like chicken feet , beef tendon , oxtail ..... all cooked to make freezer ready portions .... I appreciate you can cook too !!!
I love what you do. This is weird but I hope you find a woman that has similar taste in everything like you. I love your videos as you already know . I love chicken feet too not because it’s cheap but because I love the chewiness of it too. Have a nice day dear
BeatTheBush Shallow but beautiful - mail order bride form Ukraine/Russia (make sure to not be scamed btw). I bealive there a lot of asian woman out there who are well-brought-up and have good understanding of family values . In America/Europe woman don't take much care of themselves and usually have inflated egos, unless you are in the minority of the man they love, you are screwed, since they won't take anything less. Or they could demand unjustified special treatment, if they don't feel that you are good enough for them.
You would love being my neighbor. I would cut your grocery bill in half because I cook and bake almost daily. My friend came over yesterday and I gave her some salad, homemade muffins salsa, etc.
Full control of your cost of living is a vital sign of your financial health. You savor the things you like without obsession. Thank you for being that example.
Can you show us what your fridge and freezer look like after you buy your food? Also the food prep you do right after you purchase your food? Thanks for the great videos.
BeatTheBush im gonna be testing a few of your recipes from other videos soon so I know how to live low cost in uni, I’m 16 right now and I love your videos so much, I’m working on teaching myself sellable skills so that I can make multiple streams of income and not work 9-5 for my whole life :p I’m a lot like you with the fast metabolism, no matter how much or how little I eat my weight stays the same. Kinda sucks in a way, but at the same time it’s pretty handy. Keep the videos coming man I absolutely love them!
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you very much xxx I actually never thought of making a batch of something and keep eating it until it is finished to then make a batch of something else. Great tip! Also, I am looking forward to try rice and barley together. Can you please show a recipe of it made in a sauce pan on the hob? Thank you very much xxx
"Eating out" has been sold as the new hobby rather than "buying/collecting things". If everyone was as cheap as you/us, the entire economy would collapse lol
I agree. Eating out I've found is overrated. I've spent $500/month for years before realizing this. Food outside has a 10% chance of making you feel ill or not sit right. High in salt and fat. Eeek.
You are right. I used to eat out all the time for convenience sake, mostly...and of course, social aspect when I lived in Manhattan. Now, living outside the city and full-time mom life...I cook all of our meals M-F and try to limit eating out one meal on the weekend, maybe two at most. We are pretty modest in our tastes. This past weekend I was shock when two bagels and two iced coffees came out to $15.00 for me and my daughter. Coffees were eventually poured down drain unfinished as gave us both stomach aches. Eating out is a bit "skeevy" as my daughter's grandmother would say. lol You don't know who is preparing the food, cleanliness, quality of ingredients and more and more I get stomach issues afterward...So, yeah...I'd rather cook simple meals for us and save the $$$
how often do you hang out with your friends a month? i find it nearly impossible to spend any money when hanging out. and when i do hang out, its usually involving food
Eating western food in general is more expensive, and american grocery stores are more expensive than asian markets. I typically eat 1-2lbs of chicken daily, brown rice and green veggies(right now I'm on keto so no rice) so typically I get by on around $40 a week, but that's a very bland and healthy diet. Most people won't go for that even if they can't find cheap junk food options.
I could eat everything you eat in day for breakfast and still be hungry. Not going to work for most people sadly. but i appreciate your dedication and I think it can still be applied to most peoples lifestyles. the price is really not achievable for most people.
No spoilage. It all gets eaten. Didn't include electricity. Oil for frying was $0.16 each cutlet, forgot to add that. No oil needed to cook other stuff.
Thats very inexpensive. I like the portions you set up ahead of time. Very smart. I will try my hand at lower portion sizes and see where that takes me. See if i can work on my food expenses for the month.
Cooking in bulk saves time. But try eating it every other day, to avoid boredom. I can’t imagine chicken feet have much nutritional value for the dollar. I usually buy entire pork loins and turkeys when they are on sale. And vacuum seal individual brined portions
One way to avoid boredom that I use is freezing. I cook in bulk and usually freeze at least one meal-sized portion for a week or two later. It's a great time saver. I started cooking that way when I was single and preparing a single meal felt silly.
your hourly cost is clearly worth more than any savings you can make on budgetting and micro-managing your grosseries. Can I ask why is it that you do that ? Just because you like it or you have some other economically relevant reason that i don't know? :) Love your videos
It's a way of life. The time cost is very low when food is prepared in bulk. It's even faster than the time it takes to run out to a restaurant. Health reasons, low salt, more clean.
I see, more power to you sir. I just always Thought hiring someone to do the same can bring the same benefits without the hassle. But thats jusy because i hate cooking haha
This is so common in many Asia country.... We eat rice and side dish like veggies, fish, meat, seafood, chicken, eggs... It cost so low and fulfilling and also healty Check out Asian diet and recipe if you interested with this kind of life style
I found this inspiring so Ive just purchased 24 pork loins for £10 which is about 15$ and with veg and rice I'll be able to have lunch at work for 90p or about $1.30 so thanks for the video :)
Oatmeal is really good for you and it's cheap. I like to use chia seeds, dates, almond milk, berries, avocado and cinnamon in mine though because I care more about my health than saving money.
Do you have any suggestions for low cost meals for people who like to eat a bit more (besides doubling the quantity)? I've noticed that my typical meal by volume tends to be about 1.5 to 2 times as large as what you tend to show in your videos.
I eat a lot more than you and I don't eat grain but I can probably eat for $7 per day. Eating grain lowers the cost of your meal. I drink a lot more tea but I don't put milk in it. I like to buy pork shoulders to save money on meat. I sometimes cook two of them at a time. That's about 20 pounds of meat. I slice it up and freeze it in meal sized portions. Then I just need veggies and I have a meal.
Beat the Bush. If you ever come to Texas give us a heads up for A meet up. At my most frugal point in my life I’d do oatmeal + 1/3 banana -35 cents. Black beans or tuna -70 cents And rice and chicken 2.50 I did this pretty much everyday for 6 months and saved 75% of my income (Today I ate tuna and almonds so far) Thanks for the video
I guess I can buy some lobsters to eat but then I don't like them that much since it's so expensive for what you get. To me, this is good and delicious and not trying to save. I buy what is on sale and as fresh as it allows.
I'm a visual person so seeing how you did your chart will help me to figure out how to create one for my family not what you ate laugh out loud. My eyes are not good to see the on your youtube
O.=.O Ice bat and Snorlax look like they are planning to assassinate the Peas in a Pod. ^.=.^ thanks for showing us your meal chart. Do you switch up the meals often? I totally thought the star wars intro was neat, lol. Nice shirt btw. ^.=.~
I noticed when you eat out you go for more complexity, noticed that while you were on vacation. Anyway, that is why you're so slim and healthy. Do you drink a lot of water?
Let the restaurants do the complexity so that I can make simple food at home to save time. I drink water... not sure about a lot but I drink it when I feel thirsty.
🤣The lightsaber sounds. 🤣 One thing that strikes me about your food budget is that you eat very little over all, compared to the average person. You skip breakfast and don't snack much, for example. That in itself will help with budgeting. I consider myself to be an economical grocery shopper too, but I eat 3 meals plus snacks, so even if everything I bought was very cheap, I'd still be spending at least 1/3 more. Kinda puts dieting in a different light, as a potential money-saver
I don't eat snacks normally because I don't get hungry. But my metabolism is pretty high still as I can eat like a crazy person sometimes and remain the same weight. I can eat like this and remain the same weight. Something doesn't add up.
Same. I eat three square meals plus snacks. I guess some of us just need more "fuel" than others. There are many youtubers here who eat next to nothing in order to stick to a strict budget. I work hard and can not afford to be hungry all day. I don't know how they do it. There is one gal on here who claims she is thriving on $50.00 a month groceries. Hmmmm.
BeatTheBush I know it’s great for your health. Just don’t like it. The most I will eat is tuna and farmed salmon, knowing full well that wild is better.🙄
Amazing didn't know it was possible toeat on 3 dollars a day in America even a 3rd aprld country would cost 5 dollars a day. Great tips to lower the grocery bill. Hope to do the same when I move out.
BeatTheBush I bet you can eat on a dollar a day if you are good at bartering down prices, but I kind of want to help these poor people have a better life and not rip them off so I choose to not barter down too much or agressively. Just barter down at a medium rate. I went to India and Nepal last year. When we ate out meals were usually less than a dollar to 2 dollars. I guess we did eat alot of meals on less than a dollar from bartering on the street markets. I think our food budget was 2-3 dollars a meal per person.
I guess the purpose was not to get it as cheap as possible. I ate what I wanted and what was a good deal also. I suppose I can try to create meals for cheaper if that was the goal.
I eat for $5.60 per day, but it looks like I eat much bigger portions. I've tried going as low as ~$3 per day but end up feeling terrible because I was not getting enough calories. Have you started eating less as you get older?
G Host you might be taller with a higher metabolism, Calorie restricted people also metabolize food more efficiently. If you do reduce your calories over time you really want to make sure you are getting enough of every essential nutrient.
I guess I eat a little bit less. Most people comment on how much I eat and still stay slim. It seems I can eat at this volume or 1.5x more and still it seems I stay about the same weight.
BeatTheBush you can calculate the calories with cronometer.com or something thing I bet it’s around 1300-1600 calories. It’s healthy and good to stay slim, but Americans men eat a lot more
"How frugal are you?" "I reuse portions of an egg." At first it might sound absurd, but then it seems to make sense. Nonetheless, it would be funny (to me) if your frugality becomes a meme that goes viral.
@@BeatTheBush I don't have recipes that use less than an entire egg, but closest thing is to use all egg whites and omit the yolk. I'd compost the yolk, except I don't have a yard and thus don't grow my own food (yet).
U dont eat a lot beatthebush.. two full meals only? And i thot they say breakfast is actually very important and u only drink tea for breakfast is that ok for ur healthy diet plan?
$3/day? I thought my $3/meal budget was pretty good. LOL. But seriously, I wouldn't re-use an egg that has had raw pork in it for other things. Be careful!
Could you do a video on your philosophy for your life? You touch on it every now and then but, would like to hear a dedicated video on that from you. You have many people like myself who sort of look up to you. Even if its vague with some general ideas it would be nice.
Reusing a portion of an egg, what a legend!
agreed!
Making your own Milk Tea certainly is way cheaper than paying $5 at the boba shop
Yup. And with practice, you can make it just as good or better. Most certainly fresh brewed tea is much better.
BeatTheBush Have you done a DIY milk tea on your channel yet? Do you aerate it or just stir in the milk?
I think its safe to say that u eat less than everyone else lol.
Juan really? That looks like a pretty standard meal, to me. One thing to note is the body size. I don't know exactly how tall he is but he looks to be between 140 and 170 pounds. I'm 5'9" 155 lbs for reference, and i think i eat around the same for a meal as the fish dish he showed and I am never very hungry at the end.
@@Alex-ii9sp is right. Most people just eat more than they have to
Amazing! People who really know about nutrition know that eating less is far healthier than a very overfed world that we live in... you are so motivating and wise! Thank you.
Do I know nutrition? I'm not sure about this because I just try to eat fresh foods and not packaged stuff.
BeatTheBush I think you are living intentionally and intuitively so that’s as wise as it gets! Keep going, I just subscribed 😊
Wow you recorded the price of every little thing aha!
I had to figure it out for this video. I do not do this normally.
The Monk Way - Stock Market Videos No he didn't...he said he left out the cost of the spices used and the water to make tea and the barley rice.
If everyone did this and invested the difference over time, depending on age, they could retire waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay earlier...in years...possibly a decade if one started extremely early. I've been tracking all my expenditures to the penny the last ~6 years. The #1 thing I wasted money on (and still): eating out (out of convenience or boredom).

So true...but they would rather make Starbucks' shareholders rich by buying their $ 5 coffee and tea concoctions.
To save money ob beef I buy whole sirloin roasts for about $2.89 a pound. Then I put it through my food processor to make slivers of beef. I stir fry it and put it over veggies.
I am wondering if you have ever made a video hosting a dinner party with friends, or made gifts .

Huh! Unknowingly, I guess it's under the $29/week. Lol.
This video is amazing, just subbed!
Rice with lentils or rice with a fried egg and tomato salad costs less than 50 cents per serving in my country

Love you light, Thank you.
How do you do "part" of an egg, there's only 1 yolk, do you split it or just use egg white on one of the times
I just beat everything and store what is unused in the fridge.
Did you cook everything at once and then refrigerate ?
Eating western food in general is more expensive, and american grocery stores are more expensive than asian markets. I typically eat 1-2lbs of chicken daily, brown rice and green veggies(right now I'm on keto so no rice) so typically I get by on around $40 a week, but that's a very bland and healthy diet. Most people won't go for that even if they can't find cheap junk food options.
The force is strong in this one..
What are your thoughts on buying organic foods? Is it worth the extra cost? Maybe a topic for another video. =)
I cannot trust it enough. I'm sure there is a difference but it seems so easy to fake and not easily testable at home.
hey.. beat the bush.... do you have a spreadsheet copy of your grocery like google drive... so that we can make a copy of the spreadsheet... thanks...
Copy of this thing? I never thought anyone would want it because you just put what you eat on a spread sheet.
I could eat everything you eat in day for breakfast and still be hungry. Not going to work for most people sadly. but i appreciate your dedication and I think it can still be applied to most peoples lifestyles. the price is really not achievable for most people.
Do you share the excel sheet you made by any chance? Or do you have any general format that you recommend to record this type of data? Thanks.
nice vid, maybe more vids on how to reduce cost on other stuff throughout the day
Ahhh... I covered a lot of that... gas for your car, insurance for your car, etc.
Amazed at spreadsheet for what you ate. Was this just for the video or do always do this?
Just for the video.
what about the cost of gas and time to go out and buy these items? No oil and electricity costs? Any spoilage?
No spoilage. It all gets eaten. Didn't include electricity. Oil for frying was $0.16 each cutlet, forgot to add that. No oil needed to cook other stuff.
I chuckled when you took out the spread sheet of all prices spent on meals
Red fish, blue fish... am I the only one who channeled Dr. Suess? LOL

Thats very inexpensive. I like the portions you set up ahead of time. Very smart. I will try my hand at lower portion sizes and see where that takes me. See if i can work on my food expenses for the month.
you can get more inspired by watching "brother greens eat" youtube channel they did a similar challenge
How many calories each day with these food choices and portion sizes?
Cooking in bulk saves time. But try eating it every other day, to avoid boredom.
I can’t imagine chicken feet have much nutritional value for the dollar. I usually buy entire pork loins and turkeys when they are on sale. And vacuum seal individual brined portions
I used to be against eating things everyday. I guess I got more relaxed. Chicken feet has a lot of cartilage in it though.
Ummm..the best chicken stock is made with chicken feet. Think about all that collagen that the ladies pay top dollar for.
One way to avoid boredom that I use is freezing. I cook in bulk and usually freeze at least one meal-sized portion for a week or two later. It's a great time saver. I started cooking that way when I was single and preparing a single meal felt silly.
Curious as to why you add the barley? Is a nutritional thing or do you just enjoy the taste more than rice alone?
I added it to reduce sugar spikes for health reasons. After having it for a while, I actually liked it. I could eat either though.
You are money smart guy.
Do not listen to the haters

May I please ask how much you spend on eating out monthly?
Varies A LOT depending if I have events to go to. I used to spend as much as $500/month but these days, I avoid eating out as much as possible.

I consider myself to be an economical grocery shopper too, but I eat 3 meals plus snacks, so even if everything I bought was very cheap, I'd still be spending at least 1/3 more.
Kinda puts dieting in a different light, as a potential money-saver
I don't eat snacks normally because I don't get hungry. But my metabolism is pretty high still as I can eat like a crazy person sometimes and remain the same weight. I can eat like this and remain the same weight. Something doesn't add up.
BeatTheBush you don't consume much sugar. It's probably as simple as that.
Same. I eat three square meals plus snacks. I guess some of us just need more "fuel" than others. There are many youtubers here who eat next to nothing in order to stick to a strict budget. I work hard and can not afford to be hungry all day. I don't know how they do it. There is one gal on here who claims she is thriving on $50.00 a month groceries. Hmmmm.
Never thought I'll see BTB playing with a light bar.
I try to do everything. =D
can you recommend a tea brad?
I have a milk tea video coming tomorrow.
Any idea how many calories you eat on average per day. It seems very low to me, maybe less than 2000 kcal. per day?
No idea. My weight stays constant though.
No, you’re doing the right thing. I need to do more of this, although I’m not much of a fish eater.
Fish is great for you. Omega 3 fish oil.
BeatTheBush I know it’s great for your health. Just don’t like it. The most I will eat is tuna and farmed salmon, knowing full well that wild is better.🙄
This is like QVC for people with brains.
Chicken feet, I followed you so hard. Awesome content man.
=D That must've been a previous video. =D
Great video
=D
Amazing didn't know it was possible toeat on 3 dollars a day in America even a 3rd aprld country would cost 5 dollars a day. Great tips to lower the grocery bill. Hope to do the same when I move out.
I thought 3rd world can eat on a dollar? Hmmm... depends what you eat I think.
BeatTheBush I bet you can eat on a dollar a day if you are good at bartering down prices, but I kind of want to help these poor people have a better life and not rip them off so I choose to not barter down too much or agressively. Just barter down at a medium rate. I went to India and Nepal last year. When we ate out meals were usually less than a dollar to 2 dollars. I guess we did eat alot of meals on less than a dollar from bartering on the street markets. I think our food budget was 2-3 dollars a meal per person.
I guess the purpose was not to get it as cheap as possible. I ate what I wanted and what was a good deal also. I suppose I can try to create meals for cheaper if that was the goal.
I eat for $5.60 per day, but it looks like I eat much bigger portions. I've tried going as low as ~$3 per day but end up feeling terrible because I was not getting enough calories. Have you started eating less as you get older?
G Host you might be taller with a higher metabolism, Calorie restricted people also metabolize food more efficiently. If you do reduce your calories over time you really want to make sure you are getting enough of every essential nutrient.
I guess I eat a little bit less. Most people comment on how much I eat and still stay slim. It seems I can eat at this volume or 1.5x more and still it seems I stay about the same weight.
BeatTheBush you can calculate the calories with cronometer.com or something thing I bet it’s around 1300-1600 calories. It’s healthy and good to stay slim, but Americans men eat a lot more
@@womplestilskin But at least 50% of Americans are overweight. Js
"How frugal are you?"
"I reuse portions of an egg."
At first it might sound absurd, but then it seems to make sense. Nonetheless, it would be funny (to me) if your frugality becomes a meme that goes viral.
Why not? Well, just eat all of it.
@@BeatTheBush I don't have recipes that use less than an entire egg, but closest thing is to use all egg whites and omit the yolk. I'd compost the yolk, except I don't have a yard and thus don't grow my own food (yet).
U dont eat a lot beatthebush.. two full meals only? And i thot they say breakfast is actually very important and u only drink tea for breakfast is that ok for ur healthy diet plan?
I get enough calories to maintain my weight. I may eat more sometimes.
Great video!
=D
When can I get in on that BeatTheBush Coin?
Lol... now idea what that will be worth.
Why dont ya open a restaurant
That plush dino seems unimpressed.
He always ridicules me. =___=
It's actually thinking, "My homie!"
Bro you seriously need to eat a greater variety of fruits and vegetables...
Lol... I eat other things than what is shown on this video.
No fruits or even variety of vegetables?
I normally have more fruits. I get a limited amount for free from the garden lol. I'll show that another time.
Sir,I’m really looking at my spending now.
=D Excellent!
I think the peas are hiding from snorlax and icebat
With how much you enjoy itemizing, I'm surprised you're not an accountant instead of an engineer!
Both are acceptable career paths I guess. =D
*Toblerone :)
HA HA!
$3/day? I thought my $3/meal budget was pretty good. LOL. But seriously, I wouldn't re-use an egg that has had raw pork in it for other things. Be careful!
Richard Forester I think he said he was going to use it for the pork next time. Not for other things.
I do love my milk tea.... great video as always!
I really should make another video on my best method. I change it all the time.
I don’t like Kim chi but you gave me some ideas. I also make my own bread and save the crumbs.
Nice! I make my own bread sometimes too. But then it seems eating flour isn't the best for you since it converts easily to sugar.
BeatTheBush two words: whole grains. Complex carbs.
