Thanks for having me so 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 2: excited to talk to you. 6 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: I was after we firmed up the interview, I was like, 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: I got to go check out this Hunter Stoller. And 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: so I've been looking at a lot of your Instagram 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: videos and thinking there's a lot of changes that I 10 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: need to make to the things that I buy. But 11 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: today we're talking about prices. We'll talk about content too, 12 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: but prices of food. I mean, prices are up almost everywhere. 13 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: And you know, every time you go to the grocery store, 14 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: you're like eighty bucks, a hundred bucks. I don't even 15 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: have a full, you know, a full bag of groceries. 16 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: So there are ways that we can fix that and 17 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: save money. And you've kind of cracked the code on that. 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: Absolutely. Thank you. 19 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: So pricing is something that I want everyone to realize. 20 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 3: It's a very individual perspective thing. We tend to buy 21 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 3: a lot of food out and also shop at the 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 3: grocery store, so we're basically doubling up on our meals. 23 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 3: And what we don't realize is, especially in America, if 24 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 3: we are making our meals at home, we are saving 25 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 3: so much money compared to eating at I ate out 26 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 3: last night, and let me tell you, it was certainly 27 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 3: not cheap, and I could have made ten to twelve meals, 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 3: not even exaggerating for the amount of money that. 29 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 2: I spent at the steakhouse last night. 30 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 3: And it is true that grocery prices are definitely up 31 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 3: compared to pre pandemic levels in twenty twenty, but if 32 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 3: you use these specific shopping tips at the grocery store, 33 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 3: you could save so much money. For example, shopping the sales, 34 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 3: I always buy my meat. 35 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: I buy even. 36 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 3: Fruits and vegetables and things like better fore cereals when 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 3: they are discounted on sale. And I'm an Amazon Prime Member, 38 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 3: so I get sometimes double discounts when I shop at 39 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 3: Whole Foods. Or I'm a Target Circle member, so I 40 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 3: get the Target Circle benefits and deals. 41 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: Shopping the perimeter is where. 42 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: The foods that you want are the frozen fruits and vegetables, 43 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 3: the fresh produce, and also the meat. So you want 44 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 3: to sock up on those and not go to the 45 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 3: grocery store hungry, because that's when you're going to dive 46 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 3: in and out of the aisles, snack on random snacks, 47 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 3: and also buy things you do not need. 48 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, the don't go hundred hungry is a good one 49 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: because I've I've noticed specifically if I go and it's 50 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: like I just got off work, so I've been at 51 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: work for eight hours and I'm kind of like, oh, 52 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: I need something to eat, and by GOLLI you can 53 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: find it. And you don't always make the best choices, 54 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: but if you go when you've already had food, then 55 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to get the things you actually 56 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: need one hundred percent. 57 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: And when you stick to those staples and essentials I'm 58 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 3: talking about, you know, lean proteins, high quality cooking rails, 59 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 3: the proteins, fibers, and healthy fats like avocado, chicken, greek yogurt. 60 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: And blueberries. 61 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 3: It definitely is expensive and a lot of people will 62 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 3: blames tariffs for this, but we need to control what 63 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 3: we can control, and that's why I'm such a big 64 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 3: opponent also of you know, analyzing and looking online. 65 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 2: And this might sound silly. 66 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 3: But at the different grocery stores around you, and figure 67 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: out which grocery stores you want to go to based 68 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: on the prices I have seen. 69 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: For example, in New York. 70 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: Fair Way could have organic blueberries that are three dollars 71 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: per bag, less money than Whole Food does, So I 72 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: know where I'm getting my blueberries from, you know, and 73 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: then I'll find other products there that I love. So 74 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 3: it's all about shopping smarter, not harder, and not over 75 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 3: complicating it. Yep. 76 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: Kind of make a plan. And I saw one of 77 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: the videos that I saw yesterday were some good tips 78 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: on things to buy a Trader Joe's, and I forget 79 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: how how cost effective Trader Joe's is. They really have 80 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: great prices. I don't always shop there, I love it 81 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: when I do. 82 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 3: But absolutely it is such an underrated grocery store. I 83 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: will say they do have a lot of very ultra 84 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: processed products that I would avoid, But when it comes 85 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: to those staples, whether it's a sweet potato or a 86 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: grass fed steak that all you have to do is 87 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 3: heat up in the microwave or oven, and anything else 88 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 3: that's just a single ingredient food like fruit. They have 89 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 3: amazing products at amazing signs and there are so many. 90 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 3: So I use my platform to really open people's eyes 91 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: up to certain products at grocery stores. Every single time 92 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 3: I post something, whether it's Wholefluds, Target Costco, Trader Drows, 93 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 3: they'll be like, my store doesn't have this, and then 94 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: they double check and they're like, wait, it does that? 95 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: It didn't look Yeah, I. 96 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: Got to check out. You recommended their peanut butter. And 97 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: I've discovered a fun new recipe that uses only peanut butter, eggs, blueberries, 98 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: and what's the fourth or ingredient. I don't know, but 99 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: it makes muffins, did I anyway? 100 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 2: Maybe like on flour. 101 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: No, it doesn't use flour at all, it all. But 102 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: it's a really good for you recipe. But I want 103 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: a good peanut butter. And you had said that there 104 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: was one that didn't have a lot of gunk in 105 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: at this. 106 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 3: Just oh yeah, there's just organic peanuts and salt, the 107 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 3: only two things that should be in peanut butter. 108 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 2: And the price is amazing. 109 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: Yeah okay. And then another thing is that prices are high, 110 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: but there are some things that have come down. Eggs 111 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: have come down, and avocados are pretty cheap right now. 112 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: So but they're high and fat, but they're still good 113 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: for you. 114 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 2: Yes. 115 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 3: So something that a lot of people don't realize is 116 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 3: we obviously have proteins, we have carbs. 117 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: And we have fat, So it's the three macronutrients that's 118 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: where the calories come from. 119 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 3: And people think it's falsely assumed that fats make you fat, 120 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: and that is not the case. If you are worried 121 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 3: about your weight, fats are. 122 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 2: Honestly something I would one hundred. 123 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: Percent incorporate in your diet. We need proteins to help 124 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: us maintain and build our muscle and to feel good 125 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 3: and strong. We need carbs and fiber for energy fuel, 126 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: and also for our gut health. We need fiber and 127 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 3: fiber is a carb, and then we need healthy fats 128 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 3: to help with the healthy absorption of nutrients, vitamins, and 129 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 3: minerals from our foods. And also fats are very satisfying. 130 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 3: They'll help you with overall satiety with your food, so 131 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 3: you want to make sure you know you're not drowning 132 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 3: your food in olive oil or eating four avocados a day. 133 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 3: But it's a very false association that eating dietary fat 134 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 3: makes you have fat on your body and. 135 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: It's also is it also false that eating healthy is 136 00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: going to just break the bank. 137 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 3: It is false because you could eat healthy at home 138 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: and you will save so much money. 139 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: There was an article that was posted. 140 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 3: About me a few months ago, maybe even a year 141 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 3: ago at this point in the New York Post, about 142 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 3: how I saved eleven thousand dollars by making my own 143 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 3: food at home and stop double buying.
