BloodLikeLemonade if you don't mean anything bad by saying his gay, then why mention the fact that he's gay? Saying that he's gay and say that he's a person makes no difference in the context of your comment. Surely by mentioning that he's gay you meant that in a bad way.
Right? I don't understand why so many ppl have such a thing about not cooking their own food...I'm def not trying to offend anyone when I say this tho! And I know this doesn't go for everyone but I see a lot of women on UA-cam claiming to be afraid of the oven and being terrible cooks...maybe it's true but sometimes I feel like they think they can't cook without being...old fashioned idk how to say it. Sorry if this offends anyone
Uh you can literally cook a full week of *healthy and delicious* meals for $25/week. That's literally impossible to do if you always eat out. I know most major cities in California are among the most expensive cities to live in the USA, but they're not that more expensive than Seattle and Portland (where I spend most of my time & money).
$300 a week for groceries!? damn I have a family of 5 and we buy stuff in bulk that we can cook and lasts a month ($200) and with everything else like snacks, milk, bread we prob only spend $25 a week.
AKA 45 I have a regular 9-5 job which means everyone and their mama is going out to lunch everyday. It's so wasteful though.. imo. I eat left overs usually and it saves me a lot of $$$
Charlotte Galloo I'm not even able to spend 300$ in a month cause I'm broke as f! Tbh I don't even understand where you can spend all this money in one week
It totally depends where you live, though. When I lived in Nebraska, I had a two-bedroom apartment upstairs from a comic shop for $290/month. Split it with a buddy, so rent was $145/month. I remember when I went back home to Alaska, I was pissed because a $2 bag of chips cost $4.50. Recently moved down the Pennsylvania; my monthly grocery budget got cut literally in half. Went from $600/month to *maybe* $300/month, and that's with eating out. (The $600/month was with not eating out, but it did include a lot more fresh produce. That's harder to do here.) For a while there in college, I was spending a little over $400/month on just taco supplies. And nachos, naturally.
I think it's an American thing, in America it's way cheaper to have dinner in a restaurant or something in Europe (where I live) it's so much cheaper to just cook something up at home
I'm actually offended that they think $50 for a week is hard. All they needed that week was food. I guess this is the slap in the face that reminds me that I'm not doing as well as I thought.
It's rather sad that basically everyone at buzz feed doesn't cook their own meals, and don't even bother to make their own coffee. Starbucks is not a place to have your coffee everyday people. It's a treat, and if you go everyday you're just throwing your money away.
Starbucks not only tastes terrible, it's bad for your health as well. Something as simple as adding milk and honey to your own coffee (pls not instant coffee it literally takes a few more minutes) makes it amazing.
could just be one of those things he spends money on because it makes him happy? I mean people spend that much on cigarettes, alcohol, or generally enjoyable things every week. We're human, we have vices
This guy doesn't know where to eat but I'm just not understanding why he can't cook at home. The amount of money the girl spent is awesome! I expected her to go over but she is really good at managing money! Why is she in this video that makes no sense?
A. W. Cmon in Italy we spend 30 dollars to buy vegetables meat and pasta and then we cook at home why can't Americans understand that cooking at home is cheaper than going to fast food
A. W. in big citys it is to expencive to have a kitchen. it is cheaper to buy street food and stuff like that instead of paying the rent for a kitchen. hope my english was ok
SAME. Although I think everyone is entitled to spend their money as they see fit, it's hard to believe a single person needs 300 dollars worth of food.
I get that they are in LA, but the challenge seemed to only focus on food and I'd they went out. With that in mind. The challenge is easily done. They just make horrible financial decisions. Buy groceries for meals for weeks at a time. Why did they go to the store twice in one week? These vids show how wasteful they are not how hard a budget is. You can eat healthy on a budget.
Too be honest they pretty much bought unhealthy things (ex: chipotle and a donut) and they would have snacks for a meal. If they have to spend more then 50$ a week to eat healthy I say go for ut
Henry Goodman I agree except for the fish part I guess it's because I live inland United States and there is not much fish or large masses of water near me but at least beef is cheap for me.
dear god. 50$ a week!? i get online shopping being a big pull, but i go to the grocery store and spend 25$ and those groceries last me like almost 2 weeks. rotisserie chicken, frozen veg and dried beans, get on this yall are killing me.
Rotisserie chickens are actually smaller in size than whole chickens sold in the poultry section by 15-30%, but the amount of effort saved probably makes it worth it.
The point is that she complained that she is eating a lot of unhealthy junk foods lately but her regular diet is already unhealthy to begin with so why did she have to complain. I think that is what @Nikatronixx was trying to say.
Esther Johnson I know you have a bizarre system in the US bit let's imagine they get paid $2500 a month (with all the taxes already paid) which is an average salary at least in Belgium they can easily spend $1200 and still have $1300 to pay the rent or whatever at the end of the month.
Soufiane Mokhles I bring home $900 a month in a good month. my car is a pos, but paid for lol. rent is $450, so that's half my check right off the top. electric about $100 or so bc it's summer, gas for my car is about $50. that leaves me $300 to spend on food and any other necessities like shampoo, soap, tp, etc. I had a job a few years ago that I was bringing home $3800 after taxes and insurance. but due to my ex causing troubles at that job I lost it 😣. I miss that job.....
jnp505 that's your budget mine is around $16-$50,000 dollars not lying because I'm a business owner and I spend that much one year ago I spent over $6.2 million
That would make a good video. Give people a budget of $200 a month to eat at home breakfast and dinner. It's not hard. IMO, a $50 a week budget should be for spending money, like going out, shopping for clothes etc, but not for food or essentials. But these people just seem hopeless. Also, a week isn't enough. The month long videos are so much better, because they have time to actually learn stuff.
if you get around $1000 every two weeks or so i would,save $600,spend $200 on bills or morgage and finally spend $200 on food or clothing.its better to save as you dont know what the future holds
Lmao same im only 12 and i could easily survive on only home cooked meals (i only started learning 3 months ago yet i can cook almost every dish my family can)
Doesn't anyone on buzzfeed know how to cook? If they just mealplanned a little and cooked from home, they would save sooo much money. Buzzfeed must pay really well, because I would never be able to eat takeout two times a day..
Americans just spend a lot of money, and incurr a lot of debt. I bet they don't save a dime. And probably they don't get paid much considering LA standards (50k-60k maybe).
elpete1987 idk have you seen the requirements you have to have to get into BuzzFeed. Idk how much they get paid but I feel like it's more that 50-60k. not trying to be a butthole btw
Do they realise the amount of people in America (a rich and developed country) that live below the poverty line?! This isn't difficult! Never mind the percentage of people worldwide who live on less than a dollar a day, this is seriously insulting and disappointing.
it's offensive that none of them just acknowledged the privilege they enjoy to be able to go out to eat or shop frequently. There's nothing wrong with having a good income and enjoying it, but they don't ever say "some people have to live like this always, it's eye opening."
Abby Rozee this is so true, I'm an Muslim American so Ramadan is kind of a privilege check for me in many ways and the only amount of money I spent was to send the minimum required $100 charity amount to people living in poverty. I haven't eaten out in almost a month and cooking at home is honestly pleasant. I can't comprehend how a person spends $300 in a week I'm a college student but I can't imagine spending that much even with a high salary. My African parents taught me to be frugal af
Billy There is poverty everywhere in the world and I just feel like this video is a huge slap in the face to anyone who isn't as ridiculously priviliged as these buzzfeed employees
How are they privileged when they went to college and worked hard to get where they are in order to earn the income that they earn? I've never understood how working hard and not being lazy is seen as "privilege."
it wasn't until i moved to a rich country that i realized that-- oh... this is how people live here... i save a lot of money bc i was used to having 4/5 of my income for rent and bills, and little money to eat and save. now that i'm in a slightly better situation, i can do things i never thought i could do, like travel or buy nice clothes, but i still don't do them bc old habits.
I've cooked my own dinner since I was 12. I know some 28 year olds living at home still having their dinners cooked by their mum and I think that's just sad.
If you know how to cook, not professionally, you can eat healthy, stay on a budget and even use what you have left to buy whatever you want. I'm a college student and work a part-time job. I spent roughly less than $30 on everything including food since I'm living with my parents. I've learned the value of money and hard work through working and studying at school. For college students like me who are complaining about not having enough money to spend on, go get a job and work lol. If you're living with your parents, you shouldn't be complaining either since your parents pay like most of your bills(my parents do).
Ericka Jean it can sometimes, depending on the area. For example in my town we actually spend less eating at mcdonalds than we would if we cooked all our meals at home, just because all the grocery stores are crazy expensive. The unhealthiest food is usually the cheapest unfortunately
What about foodsharing? Does that exist where you are? Is like a plataform where you get free food from supermarkets which would otherwise be in the dumpster. It has reached its expire date but is still perfectly edible. That is the best solution for eating healthy and not spending at all xD
They would have done better if they cook at home instead of buying instant food or food from the restaurant not to mention cooking at home is way healthier for your body
$50 a week for one person, is not that hard - (if you eat badly). A lot of canned goods, frozen food, drink tap water... if you want pizza $2 frozen pizza.
In poland 1$ = 5zł (or something like that xD) and you can buy there really A LOT OF things that costs less than 5 zł. You want to buy a donut? It costs there something like 1zł-2zł (0,2$-0,4$). XD
ChV2 This has to do more with currency value though. American usd and euro have a very low value. Polish money though, have a higher value because there is less printed and it can mostly only be printed in that country.
Right? I'm 14 and I cook most of my own meals! It's sad that ppl just resort to junk food...they say it's a time thing but you have to drive up to Taco Bell or wherever else, order and pay for the food, and then drive home. And if it's delivery, you still gotta wait for the food to get there.
Elysia Cooking a meal takes on average around half an hour, more or less. I don't buy that you're that stripped for time. Plenty of people who work also cook. Eating out is a luxury for me because it's so expensive to do so here.
I do not believe that that girl only spent $25 in a week, there is just no way, she didn't cook and considering just the one meal was $4, if she ate at least 3 meals a day for 7 days that is well over $25 unless she somehow got food for like $1 every time, which she clearly didn't......thats why I don't trust these challenges at all. It costs more than that to fill up your car, especially in Los Angeles......
Because she mentioned having lime already I think she was just eating the food she already had in her fridge and pantry instead of buying new groceries/food
N. Calhoun shes a skinny girl she probably doesnt require mouch protein and shes eating because she wants it and dont need it. she also said that living like this was not good for her body that might mean the food was ungealty and she didnt get enough nutrients cause she ate stuff like nudles. it is posible to spend that little money in a week but she probably didnt eat 3 meals a day 1 or 2
Buzzfeed next video challenge should be: cooking home for a week Either young people in US think you can just eat in restaurants or is it only your buzzfeed employees?
lol they arent rich "kids", they are grown adults who have good jobs and are single, which means less bills to pay and only having to take care of yourself
Im definitely not rich but I'm 27 years old with no kids and a job, so I can afford to spend 125-200 a week on food because I choose to. That doesn't mean I enjoy the fact that I spend that much money on food, but when you constantly swipe your card that money adds up.
college students stretch 5 dollars a month, i swear
Mr Not That Famous I know how rich are these people
my brother makes 50 last 2weeks
Daniel Romero does he earn like $10 an hour??
Mr Not That Famous I
Mary Draws $10/hour is just above min. wage where I live, so I doubt it.
"I put all this things in the cart and then I don't buy them" hmm sounds like my everyday online shopping experience

Ryan TBSG I stg
Miguel Nivia mine 2 xD
why did he just spend thirty dollars on tea? From Amazon? I'm sure he can find tea somewhere else for a lot less, that comes in a bigger quantity
BloodLikeLemonade Better change the word gay to guy quick
Pirate man Kane is gay. Buzzfeed has videos where he states he’s gay. There’s nothing wrong with that.
BloodLikeLemonade if you don't mean anything bad by saying his gay, then why mention the fact that he's gay? Saying that he's gay and say that he's a person makes no difference in the context of your comment. Surely by mentioning that he's gay you meant that in a bad way.
@@BloodLikeLemonade How does being gay affect someone's spending?
They'd save so much money if they cooked their own food more often. :/

Yeah. There is a difference between fighting against prescriptive gender roles, and just being a practical adult.
Esther Johnson maybe they don't know how to cook.
maxine chan Then they gotta learn that.
+Nina Tsoutsani They have Google.
It's totally normal to just go out and buy $30.00 worth of tea yeah, totally.
Harmony Is The Best There Is No Arguing he could buy like 5 kilos of yerba mate and do lots of tea himself 😂😂
Lara Malik true 😂😂

bc he buys all his food outsidee
Sparkylimecap same 😂

Obviously a lot of spaghetti....
Ike! Either he'd spend too much on restaurant food or die from eating too much instant food
And none of them learned a lesson at the end 😂😂😂😑
Hehshdjbssbsbsannanan Jsnsnhejspapapakakwm yeah this whole video was to the point of learning the lesson not just trying this out
Hehshdjbssbsbsannanan Jsnsnhejspapapakakwm thats sad

Pop Gole jj
The only one that didn't learn a lesson was donut boy
do people in LA just... not cook?
grilled cheese no onoin
No I know how to cook, I am from L.A
its cheaper to eat out
its actually not
Uh you can literally cook a full week of *healthy and delicious* meals for $25/week. That's literally impossible to do if you always eat out. I know most major cities in California are among the most expensive cities to live in the USA, but they're not that more expensive than Seattle and Portland (where I spend most of my time & money).
grilled cheese no onoin yes and no not just in la you fucktard
Boyyyyy, $300 a week!? You have a problem.
Shelby Chanel i wish i could afford that 300 a month on luxury stuff mabe if im spoiling myself
I feel like I'm being careless if I spend more than $150 a month on myself. idk, I guess that's what poverty does to your mind, haha
Shelby Chanel what who spent that much Jesus
Shelby Chanel I spend 500$ a weekend
My family spends around that much but that's because there's 5 people in our house

n your feelings r wrong ;)
My family would spend $250 to $300 on grocery shopping maybe once a week and a half but $300 for a young guy who has only himself to feed is insane
$300 a week for groceries!? damn I have a family of 5 and we buy stuff in bulk that we can cook and lasts a month ($200) and with everything else like snacks, milk, bread we prob only spend $25 a week.
a family of 5 and u only spend 25 bucks a week!?? bs, yall must get everything offbrand
does that matter though
We spend £70 once a week on food for 5 people? So it's not too bad
13 Reasons why nope not at all, just take advantage of coupons and sales ads
I like how YB ACTUALLY tries when doing these challenges
dude, you couldn't wait one more day to buy your tea just to complete the challenge?🤦🏻♀️
Also I'm pretty sure he could buy yerba mate tea leaves and just brew the tea himself instead of buying cans worth of it.
J Let alone that specific type of tea is known to actually cause certain types of cancer and he's buying and drinking probably multiple cans of day.
Especially love how he's the one who says "you're gonna poop it out"
pretty sure the tea is what he uses for his weightless journey, there's a video on it
Neolanaify yea but he ordered it online, which means he wasnt gonna get it on the same day
i wish i had $50 a week to spend let alone $300

Do they eat out everyday!!!! tf
I know right?? I hardly eat out even once a month, and even then it's cheap stuff like taco bell 😣
AKA 45 they probably order postmates and what not.
AKA 45 yes.. so many people eat out wayyyy too much. Maybe 1-2x a week is ok. But not every dang day!!
AKA 45 I have a regular 9-5 job which means everyone and their mama is going out to lunch everyday. It's so wasteful though.. imo. I eat left overs usually and it saves me a lot of $$$
LCbabyxO ya exactly. I eat out like once every 2 weeks. That seems like such a waste of money
when ur too broke to be an impulse buyer so instead ur an impulse online shopper who doesn't actually buy anything but just fills the cart
You literally just described my life
SAME ❤️😂
Allie Collins you just described me
This is me
omg I thought I was the only one who did that
How can this guy spend 300$ a WEEK?! I spend that in a month, and I'm not even trying that much
Charlotte Galloo I'm not even able to spend 300$ in a month cause I'm broke as f! Tbh I don't even understand where you can spend all this money in one week
Charlotte Galloo ikr? That's my budget for 2 adults, 1 child for the month.
It totally depends where you live, though. When I lived in Nebraska, I had a two-bedroom apartment upstairs from a comic shop for $290/month. Split it with a buddy, so rent was $145/month.

Oh
somebody needs to teach these people to cook...
Dani Paul ikr. and dont they have food in their house ??
I know! They would have spent like literally no money if they bothered to cook dinner and bring in lunch!
Dani Paul honestlyy😒
Didn't they do this sort of challenge already? I'm pretty sure they had said that food in the BuzzFeed "canteen" is free.
I think it's an American thing, in America it's way cheaper to have dinner in a restaurant or something in Europe (where I live) it's so much cheaper to just cook something up at home
My only question is why does that bald guy have his pizza in the bathroom
Sally Wu it was probably better lighting in there 😂
He got hungry while pooping😂

I feel like this wouldn't be so hard if they just went shopping instead of eating out.
I go to Trader Joe's and can get a week's worth of good food (for one person) for about $20. ($25-30 if I splurge)
Exactly!
Jesus can’t you guys just cook
Wrong profile pic buddy oh yeah yeah
It takes too much time especially when you have multiple jobs
If u cant cook u fast until u break your fast
I'm actually offended that they think $50 for a week is hard. All they needed that week was food. I guess this is the slap in the face that reminds me that I'm not doing as well as I thought.

It's rather sad that basically everyone at buzz feed doesn't cook their own meals, and don't even bother to make their own coffee. Starbucks is not a place to have your coffee everyday people. It's a treat, and if you go everyday you're just throwing your money away.
starbucks is like 5 dollars for one drink or one meal, and using 5 dollars to buy bananas, a box of pasta and some tomato sauce is like 3 meals.
I only go to Starbucks if someone else is buying or if I have a gift card. Other than that I make my own stuff.
Victor L exactly! I only go to Starbucks for a special drink (not coffee, that's easily made at home), like celebrating finishing something.
Starbucks not only tastes terrible, it's bad for your health as well. Something as simple as adding milk and honey to your own coffee (pls not instant coffee it literally takes a few more minutes) makes it amazing.
they're probably working ridiculous hours working on these videos and just want something quick
that was kinda pathetic... like why do you so desperately need $30 worth of tea lol
LOL right I got instantly pissed off.. like you couldnt have waited at least 1 more day..
Serena Bernal
you could buy a meal for $1 here in the Philippines
Yea.. And it taste like cardboard.. After that 1$ meal I became sick! And payed 5$ for my medicine sick!
Manila?
could just be one of those things he spends money on because it makes him happy? I mean people spend that much on cigarettes, alcohol, or generally enjoyable things every week. We're human, we have vices
That guy should have waited for the challenge to finish before buying the drink
This guy doesn't know where to eat but I'm just not understanding why he can't cook at home. The amount of money the girl spent is awesome! I expected her to go over but she is really good at managing money! Why is she in this video that makes no sense?
A. W. cuz her roommates help her
A. W. Cmon in Italy we spend 30 dollars to buy vegetables meat and pasta and then we cook at home why can't Americans understand that cooking at home is cheaper than going to fast food
I think she was spending most of her money on clothes and on her nails and by not going she saved the money
A. W. in big citys it is to expencive to have a kitchen. it is cheaper to buy street food and stuff like that instead of paying the rent for a kitchen. hope my english was ok
bluffy ) I'm American and that's all my family does.😂We rarely go out.
Meanwhile I'm sitting here, cringing over the excessive amounts of money they spend every week.
SAME. Although I think everyone is entitled to spend their money as they see fit, it's hard to believe a single person needs 300 dollars worth of food.
-rich people...-
Hi
How did u do that?
Rylee Gray ~idk~
Completely true
They’re not rich
I get that they are in LA, but the challenge seemed to only focus on food and I'd they went out. With that in mind. The challenge is easily done. They just make horrible financial decisions. Buy groceries for meals for weeks at a time. Why did they go to the store twice in one week? These vids show how wasteful they are not how hard a budget is. You can eat healthy on a budget.
Me: I'm not an impulsive shopper
Also me: buys 10 unicorn onsies
Renee Hendreson me too LOL
Renee Hendreson
tf you need 10 for?
you gonna put them all on at once?
I agree I need them all
you only need 7, one for each day of the week
Jess Gilchrist what if you get some dirty? gotta have a backup
I can buy a whol day of food for $3
What a bag of chips??
ever heard of cooking ataraxy? I spend like 25€ for food a week and eat like a king.
Ataraxy-_- a bag of chips in my country costs less than a dollar. 1$=3.60 in my country and 0.50 of that currency can get me 1 bag of chips
here where I live 10usd is enough to buy grocery and cook for a week. Its roughly meals for 2 people in a nice restaurant tho
Jesus in England (London to be exact) I’m paying £120 for a weekly grocery shop let alone going out
$300 a week for ONE person? Bruh my family of 6 doesn't even spend that much on food.
Samad Syed I relate so much
same
Samad Syed i spent for me alone 1 think 10 dollars a weak on food
Samad Syed yea my family of 6 spends 150 pounds a week
Samad Syed last night I spent $200 on dinner for 3 ppl. So I guess it depends on where you live.
Why don't these people buy groceries?? 😂😂
Too be honest they pretty much bought unhealthy things (ex: chipotle and a donut) and they would have snacks for a meal. If they have to spend more then 50$ a week to eat healthy I say go for ut
Sarah Nerenberg healthy food is expensive
If you cook at home and eat leftovers it is totally doable. It needs a little bit more time and effort though.
rice, beans, eggs, bread, oats, chicken/fish ,vegetables are all really good and inexpensive
Henry Goodman I agree except for the fish part I guess it's because I live inland United States and there is not much fish or large masses of water near me but at least beef is cheap for me.
Henry Goodman if you live on the east or west coast of the South East fish would be cheaper
dear god. 50$ a week!? i get online shopping being a big pull, but i go to the grocery store and spend 25$ and those groceries last me like almost 2 weeks. rotisserie chicken, frozen veg and dried beans, get on this yall are killing me.
yeah $50 is a LOT of money
I could easily get a month's worth of food for $50.
I'm.... actually going to try that haha. I never thought of rotisserie chicken as saving money but I suppose it is a whole chicken.
Rotisserie chickens are actually smaller in size than whole chickens sold in the poultry section by 15-30%, but the amount of effort saved probably makes it worth it.
Yeah and that's probably why they made "impulsive shoppers" do this -_-
Hahaha the $3.50 frozen dinner is cheap for them. I'm over here agonizing over the $3.84 Amy's frozen dinner. lol
USCHI LOU for real. I love amy's so much but I can only ever buy myself them as a special treat. I WISH that was cheap for me lol
Lol they said that it was cheap. The have frozen meals at stores for $1
USCHI LOU ya that's definitely a splurge when it comes to frozen dinner. Bet the chicken wasn't even gray !
The frozen dinners I get are like a dollar 20..
USCHI LOU
J
Nah man forget the frozen food i get myself my 1 dollar lunchables
The woman said that she ate a lot of instant food that wasn't healthy..but in another video she said her diet is basically junk food sooo
Nikatronixx not healthy is the same thing as junk food sooo what's your point?
The point is that she complained that she is eating a lot of unhealthy junk foods lately but her regular diet is already unhealthy to begin with so why did she have to complain. I think that is what @Nikatronixx was trying to say.
NOT A VIRUS IDK she's saying that her diet was already junk food in another video so why was she complaining about eating unhealthy food in this video
Nikatronixx people in pa are insane I live in Oklahoma and most 12 year olds know how to cook roles from scratch
Nicole Plays msp my friend is 8 (not from school) And she can cook everything!Pancakes,Hamburgers,Quesadillas,Hot Dogs and cakes and all that.
i wish i had $50 dollars to spend in a week =/
Ikr? They r a lot better off than they realize, especially if they could spend 300$ a week and still be fine!
Esther Johnson I know you have a bizarre system in the US bit let's imagine they get paid $2500 a month (with all the taxes already paid) which is an average salary at least in Belgium they can easily spend $1200 and still have $1300 to pay the rent or whatever at the end of the month.
Soufiane Mokhles I bring home $900 a month in a good month. my car is a pos, but paid for lol. rent is $450, so that's half my check right off the top. electric about $100 or so bc it's summer, gas for my car is about $50. that leaves me $300 to spend on food and any other necessities like shampoo, soap, tp, etc. I had a job a few years ago that I was bringing home $3800 after taxes and insurance. but due to my ex causing troubles at that job I lost it 😣. I miss that job.....
Mega Bacon Don't worry, it mostly is because they live in LA. They need to be making more money on average just to afford to live there
+Sonja Bors dayumm sorry bro
$50 a week, oh man.... my budget is $15 a week
jnp505 gotta live on that ramen and 2 liter coke
jnp505 come to phillipines you can just spend 7 usd, phillipines is so cheap
jnp505 i
My mom spends 3,000
jnp505 that's your budget mine is around $16-$50,000 dollars not lying because I'm a business owner and I spend that much one year ago I spent over $6.2 million
That is not a healthy or smart way to eat well. You CAN eat well and cheap. What they did was random and pointless.
That would make a good video. Give people a budget of $200 a month to eat at home breakfast and dinner. It's not hard. IMO, a $50 a week budget should be for spending money, like going out, shopping for clothes etc, but not for food or essentials. But these people just seem hopeless. Also, a week isn't enough. The month long videos are so much better, because they have time to actually learn stuff.
The blonde Asian is officially my favourite person on buzz feed.
Hannah Sowter she's hot
Ew
definitely not the hottest
She has a name, you know?
She is extremly attractive
in my country, 50 bucks can hold you as long as 2 months
It's no joke dude, no joke, 5 plate of salad cost me of a dollar
same
Which country?
Indonesia, When i on a vacation for a week, i only bring like a 100 and still have 60$ in my pocket when i get back
Philadelphia?
I put half of my paycheque in my savings and it stays in there until there's an emergency.
Kitty Spalla that's smart
I feel sorry for you because it's "paycheck"
a youtube account I feel bad for you because you aren't away of other countries spelling differences.
if you get around $1000 every two weeks or so i would,save $600,spend $200 on bills or morgage and finally spend $200 on food or clothing.its better to save as you dont know what the future holds
This dude only knows how to cook pasta? When I was 13 I was cooking steak dude
Lmaoooo, same, I’m 13 rn and literally know how to make everything my mom makes, Including some more cultural dishes (I’m tibetan)
Lmao same im only 12 and i could easily survive on only home cooked meals (i only started learning 3 months ago yet i can cook almost every dish my family can)
Teach me plz i can only cook eggs and frozen veggies
Doesn't anyone on buzzfeed know how to cook? If they just mealplanned a little and cooked from home, they would save sooo much money. Buzzfeed must pay really well, because I would never be able to eat takeout two times a day..
Americans just spend a lot of money, and incurr a lot of debt. I bet they don't save a dime. And probably they don't get paid much considering LA standards (50k-60k maybe).
elpete1987 idk have you seen the requirements you have to have to get into BuzzFeed. Idk how much they get paid but I feel like it's more that 50-60k. not trying to be a butthole btw
Martina Mörch yeah my sister at uni lives on £10 for 1-2 weeks
Martina Mörch ju
How do you survive on 10$ a week?! stop lying!! 10$ is enough for a pack of cigs and a bus ticket !!!
Id just go to dollar tree everyday! 😂😂😂
Madison's World nice!!!
same
Madison's World LMAO I SAID THE EXACT SAME THING
Madison's World I'd just get like 21 frozen pizzas and instant meals lol
Madison's World o
More like *people who got money try living broke for a week*
Do they realise the amount of people in America (a rich and developed country) that live below the poverty line?! This isn't difficult! Never mind the percentage of people worldwide who live on less than a dollar a day, this is seriously insulting and disappointing.
it's offensive that none of them just acknowledged the privilege they enjoy to be able to go out to eat or shop frequently. There's nothing wrong with having a good income and enjoying it, but they don't ever say "some people have to live like this always, it's eye opening."
Abby Rozee this is so true, I'm an Muslim American so Ramadan is kind of a privilege check for me in many ways and the only amount of money I spent was to send the minimum required $100 charity amount to people living in poverty. I haven't eaten out in almost a month and cooking at home is honestly pleasant. I can't comprehend how a person spends $300 in a week I'm a college student but I can't imagine spending that much even with a high salary. My African parents taught me to be frugal af
There are poor american who live on less than a dollar a day. Go south .
Billy There is poverty everywhere in the world and I just feel like this video is a huge slap in the face to anyone who isn't as ridiculously priviliged as these buzzfeed employees
How are they privileged when they went to college and worked hard to get where they are in order to earn the income that they earn? I've never understood how working hard and not being lazy is seen as "privilege."
Do these people ever make their own food?! No wonder they spend so much money
Venezuelan people earn 4 dollars a month now in 2017 and it is getting worst. That's the average salary. Unfortunately, not exaggerating :/
Carlos Adurt True :( i live in venezuela btw
Carlos Adurt I'm from Venezuela and that's true
How are they not dead
PreciousBundlesNursrey You ever heard of inflation?
its possible. they are just so used to splurging. regular people do not spend money on the things they are used to.
it wasn't until i moved to a rich country that i realized that-- oh... this is how people live here... i save a lot of money bc i was used to having 4/5 of my income for rent and bills, and little money to eat and save. now that i'm in a slightly better situation, i can do things i never thought i could do, like travel or buy nice clothes, but i still don't do them bc old habits.
Kane- "You're just gonna poop out that expensive meal and forget about it"
You guys are so freaking lucky you have money like that. I'd love to go out to eat everyday, or get my nails down every week.
Andrea I get my nails done every week too. By myself. For free. They look great!
King King it's not the same lol. Especially when you get acrylics. But acrylics last like a month so you shouldn't need to go back every week
Has mankind just forgotten how to cook? ...Is it a lost art?
Artbug i think so but mostly america
families don't cook together as much anymore unfortunately 😞
Even if families don't cook together, there is no excuse. I learnt how to cook myself because I don't want to eat crappy or expensive food.
I've cooked my own dinner since I was 12. I know some 28 year olds living at home still having their dinners cooked by their mum and I think that's just sad.
LOL i couldnt even get my mom to cook for me when i lived with her - lived on my own since 17 and have cooked everyday LOL
If you know how to cook, not professionally, you can eat healthy, stay on a budget and even use what you have left to buy whatever you want.
I'm a college student and work a part-time job. I spent roughly less than $30 on everything including food since I'm living with my parents. I've learned the value of money and hard work through working and studying at school. For college students like me who are complaining about not having enough money to spend on, go get a job and work lol. If you're living with your parents, you shouldn't be complaining either since your parents pay like most of your bills(my parents do).
umm...didn't guys always say women couldn't save there money?... who went over budget
YES
Random Square congratz on making a comment based on generalisation...
BlueSkyUkuleles Shut it, feminist
Your obvi a guy....
+Eryx Flames
I think the girl knows how to cook so that's why she saved money. LEARN HOW TO COOK.
Ericka Jean she said that she ate a lot of instant stuff because it was cheap. So it really wasn't just the cooking.
Kaelyn Armstrong Oh you're right but cooking does help.
Ericka Jean it can sometimes, depending on the area. For example in my town we actually spend less eating at mcdonalds than we would if we cooked all our meals at home, just because all the grocery stores are crazy expensive. The unhealthiest food is usually the cheapest unfortunately
What about foodsharing? Does that exist where you are? Is like a plataform where you get free food from supermarkets which would otherwise be in the dumpster. It has reached its expire date but is still perfectly edible. That is the best solution for eating healthy and not spending at all xD
I live in the US and i've never heard of that.
"I don't know where to eat"
Maybe try your fridge 🤦♀️
Why don't these fully grown adults cook for themselves??? I'm 16 and I could budget better ffs
because they live alone and have good jobs
LuluGrace7 and they have the money to spend
Doesn't excuse the inability to learn how to cook a damn steak.
if you know how to cook a damn steak, doesnt mean everybody has to know how to cook steaks too.
everybody is different.
That poor guy really wants a hamburger.
have you ever ate at in n' out? yum.
My guy spent 30 dollars on some tea
They would have done better if they cook at home instead of buying instant food or food from the restaurant not to mention cooking at home is way healthier for your body
jam up Healthier for wallet too.
YB is always smiling it's so contagious 😀
For some people 50$ is their entire months budget. Cooking isn’t that hard, and to me 4$ for a meal is a lot.
"You're gonna poop it out" 😂
There's something called McDonald's $1 menu WITH BURGERS!!!
Heard of gas,irs,tax? Dumbfuck
still comes out to a dollar bro
$50 lasts me a whole month at Aldi’s.
"I just put stuff in the cart and don't buy anything" Me too YB me too !! 😭
just cook at home
my mom spends $50 on food a week for four people,,, thats only like,,, $12.50 per person a week?
Cup noodles breakfast lunch and dinner
Factz
Lucky Ducky yesssssssss. They eat out everyday! What!?
In Britain u can get 5 donuts for $1
Pug Lover AYYY TESCO VALUE JAM DONUTS
I'm guessing you can get it here to but depends where you go
Pug Lover £0.68 at Asda!
dis my city brah
Same here at safeway lol
$50 a week for one person, is not that hard - (if you eat badly). A lot of canned goods, frozen food, drink tap water... if you want pizza $2 frozen pizza.
You can still eat healthy on that amount you just have to make/cook it yourself.
Just Eat The Dollar Menu From McDonald's Every Day. Its Not That Hard.
Or do a week's shopping for £20, my family of 4 spends £80 a fortnight and then several small shops for milk bread and meat
How long is a fortnight? Two weeks?
Tamama Nitohei yeah
There all like oh I don't know where to eat isn't it just cheaper to but groceries and eat at home
If only they knew how to cook.
yea. even if you don't know how to cook, sandwiches and salads and simple pasta are easier
right? and if he wanted a burger that bad, there's a thing called fast food, cheap and quick
+Yolanda Tai Yes! And cereal! lol
boy I spend like 10 dollers every weak
"Only"
When their challenge is your every day 😐
Cherryripe25 i
Ikrrrrr
In poland 1$ = 5zł (or something like that xD) and you can buy there really A LOT OF things that costs less than 5 zł. You want to buy a donut? It costs there something like 1zł-2zł (0,2$-0,4$). XD
ChV2
This has to do more with currency value though. American usd and euro have a very low value. Polish money though, have a higher value because there is less printed and it can mostly only be printed in that country.
ChV2 i am polish
ChV2 so when I went to Poland (June 2018) it was about $1 to 3.65 zloty. But yes everything was still cheaper then at home in the US it was nice
Maria Jackson the zloty is the exact opposite, it’s got a terrible exchange rate because there is so much printed. Each unit is worth less
OMG JUST COOK! In my house we cook ALL our meals......urghhhhhhh
Sarah Hazell ikr!
and i don't mean preprepared grated cheese, powdered mash and tinned sauce. 😂
Right? I'm 14 and I cook most of my own meals! It's sad that ppl just resort to junk food...they say it's a time thing but you have to drive up to Taco Bell or wherever else, order and pay for the food, and then drive home. And if it's delivery, you still gotta wait for the food to get there.
Sarah Hazell you didn't watch? HMMm?
I assume you have a 9-5? Oh wait, you don't.
Elysia Cooking a meal takes on average around half an hour, more or less. I don't buy that you're that stripped for time. Plenty of people who work also cook. Eating out is a luxury for me because it's so expensive to do so here.
someone: you shouldn't eat that much
Me: I ShOuLdN'T eAt tHaT MuCH?
Why don’t they just eat off of the dollar menu at mc Donald’s
Why don't they just *cook*
Need more Try Guys😩
yessss we need themmm
there is going to come a new series soon called the try guys try fatherhood
Naja Soerensen Plot twist, they all got married and children, that's why they were taking so long.
Food: McDonalds for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
NEXT ON BUZZFEED PEOPLE BLEND ALL THEIR MEALS FOR A WEEK😂
Why are they all eating out all the time just make a sandwich at home
Tyrell Read why sandwich?
dan snot on fire cheap
Tyrell Read or ramen thats cheap too 🍜
I do not believe that that girl only spent $25 in a week, there is just no way, she didn't cook and considering just the one meal was $4, if she ate at least 3 meals a day for 7 days that is well over $25 unless she somehow got food for like $1 every time, which she clearly didn't......thats why I don't trust these challenges at all. It costs more than that to fill up your car, especially in Los Angeles......
Because she mentioned having lime already I think she was just eating the food she already had in her fridge and pantry instead of buying new groceries/food
N. Calhoun well ramen/ instant noodles are really cheap and most people already have that in their hoyses
Also from other videos BuzzFeed provides free food and snacks all the time so that helped as well
N. Calhoun shes a skinny girl she probably doesnt require mouch protein and shes eating because she wants it and dont need it. she also said that living like this was not good for her body that might mean the food was ungealty and she didnt get enough nutrients cause she ate stuff like nudles. it is posible to spend that little money in a week but she probably didnt eat 3 meals a day 1 or 2
"Where should I go to eat?" Ever heard of cooking? 😂😂
Buzzfeed next video challenge should be: cooking home for a week
Either young people in US think you can just eat in restaurants or is it only your buzzfeed employees?
PS: instant meals doesnt count
Mr cs93 you win
What BuzzFeed?!? This is not buzzfeed
Whoops... just noticed that haha I guess is the same thing at the end of the day.
Mr cs93 it is buzzfeedyellow it changed name
Did you mean: rich kids spend an average amount of money a week 'challenge'
Jessica Cox 50 dolars a week is about 7 dolars a day and i dont think that's "average".
I think they meant expenses that are additional to the things they have to pay for, like rent and utilities and so on,
Exactly what I was thinking. I don't spend more the 50 bucks in a week
lol they arent rich "kids", they are grown adults who have good jobs and are single, which means less bills to pay and only having to take care of yourself
Im definitely not rich but I'm 27 years old with no kids and a job, so I can afford to spend 125-200 a week on food because I choose to. That doesn't mean I enjoy the fact that I spend that much money on food, but when you constantly swipe your card that money adds up.
