Speaker 3: Why you like now, You're just pop down, pop down?

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 3: Today on this show, we are going to be addressing

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: one of the most asked questions we receive at She's

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 3: on the Money, and that is how can I save

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 3: on my food and groceries so I can start putting

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: more money away each week? Now, according to the Australian

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: Bureau of Statistics, food is the second biggest category of

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 3: household spending, so it makes sense that this is something

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: we are wanting some answers on. Then, later on in

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 3: the show, we will also be chatting with Millie padula An,

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 3: a credited dietitian and all round angel woman who is

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 3: going to help us answer some of your questions about

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: eating nutritiously on a budget. Before we do get there, though,

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 3: Victoria Money wins and Confession's House you eat Bend j King.

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: I have a money win and a confession for you.

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: I think I'll do my confession first because you're going

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: to be stoked about my money win because I actually

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: did something you told me to do instead of arguing

28
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: with you like usual. So first things first this week

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: money confession. I've just started in visaline, which is obviously

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: incredibly expensive. I have obviously been saving for a very

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: long time for this, been thinking about getting my teeth

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: straightened for the better part of fifteen or twenty years,

33
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: if I'm honest, never been happy with them. Now is

34
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: a better time than any that I'm in. I so

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: no one can see my teeth. But you know, if

36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: you guys start hearing a very sexy Lie Li on

37
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: this podcast, you best believe that's the reason. But second

38
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: is my money win, Georgia King, I actually did my

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: entire weekly shop as recommended by you at AUDI.

40
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: Well, this is the challenge I set you, which we're

41
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 3: going to talk about a little bit later on in

42
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 3: the show. But do you want to give a little

43
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: brief over I'm stoked.

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie I was a bit apprehensive. I

45
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: do love good Audi snacks, but to do an entire

46
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: shop there, I was like, they're going to have everything

47
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: that I need, and they did and more. And I

48
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: will let you know a little bit later on how

49
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: much I actually spent, because I actually could go on

50
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: and on and on about this because I'm actually so

51
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: excited about half the snacks that I bought that weren't

52
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: on my shopping list. So, George King, do you have

53
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: a money win or a confession for us this week?

54
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: It's a money win, but it's a money win that

55
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 3: comes with a heavy heart. You guys know, I'm a

56
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 3: bit of a cool kid who loves a music festival.

57
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: I'm so lame, but my favorite.

58
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: That's what cool kids do.

59
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: I'm way too old for music festivals anyway, but Meredith

60
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 3: is my favorite music festival. I'm sure some of our

61
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: listeners will know it has a bit of a cult

62
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: following anyway, It's amazing. Obviously, it will come as no

63
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 3: surprise to anyone that that's been canceled this year, so

64
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: you know, it's terribly upsetting, but also it means that

65
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: I'm saving about, you know, seven hundred dollars a week on.

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: A week or maybe for the weekend, like where are

67
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: we going?

68
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: We wish it was seven hundred dollars a week. Yeah,

69
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: So the moral of the story is I'm saving seven

70
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: hundred bucks or whatever that is for the whole weekend,

71
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: and you know, I'll pop that into my savings. Maybe

72
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: I'll invest it, don't know what I'll do.

73
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: Oh, bougie, I think that's a great idea.

74
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: I can feel the mood flattening because I am a

75
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: bit sad, Debbie Downer. Let's look at the Facebook group.

76
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Hopefully pep you up because you're so sad about your

77
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,559
Speaker 1: music festival. You find, Well, that's the thing. They always

78
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: first things first. I want to go first again because

79
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: one I'm bossy, and two I found the best money

80
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: win of the group because it's cute as hell. So

81
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: Amanja posted a money win. She said back in April

82
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: when we all went down in lockdown, I needed some

83
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: sort of stress for really and a hobby. She says.

84
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: She's a single mum of a toddler, but she's studying

85
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: full time and the stress was wild. She'd always felt

86
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: entirely helpless, that she didn't know how to use power

87
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: tools and always needed to find a man to ask

88
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: her for help. So guess what she did. She decided

89
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: to learn herself. First, she built her daughter a bed,

90
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: and I think she means a doll bed. She said housebed,

91
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: unsure of what a housebed is. Moving on, that escalated

92
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: to her designing this fancy helper tower that matched her

93
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: aesthetic and she adores the thing, and it cured the

94
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: kitchen tantrums that her daughter was having because all of

95
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: a sudden she can see and hang out with her.

96
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: And there's this really cute picture of her daughter up

97
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: on the kitchen toddler tower thing that she's created. I'm

98
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: not sure what to call it. I'm not a parent, Georgia,

99
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: but her daughter looks like a little master chef up

100
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: on the bench helping out with the cooking, and she's

101
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: so little and so cute.

102
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: I'm so happy look at that smile.

103
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: It turns out that toddler towers are quite expensive, so

104
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: now she has a little side hustle selling fancy toddler towers.

105
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: How cute is that?

106
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: So that's like a safe ladder setup that they just

107
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: stand on so that they're elevated to hang out at

108
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: the tables.

109
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm impressed. I think it's really sweet. But anyway, moving on, Amanda,

110
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: your daughter's gorgeous. What have you got for us, Georgia.

111
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: My money win this week is from Shakira, who was

112
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 3: in the market for some cute Rotten chairs Ratten. Is

113
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: that very on trend material?

114
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Rattan? But okay, oh is it Ratan?

115
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: You always remember when we were talking about Netaporter and

116
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: you were like, Nettapote. Yeah, surely it's Netaporter. Surely it's Ratten. Anyway, whatever,

117
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: that's a little wait.

118
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: Note Georgia is a copywriter and can't speak English.

119
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: So mean. Anyway, Shakira was in the market for some

120
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: cute Ratan chairs for her new house, which is very exciting.

121
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 3: That was a little part of the celebration as well. Anyway,

122
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 3: she wanted these chairs, but they were three hundred and

123
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: fifty dollars from Ikea and they were supposedly affordable options. Anyway,

124
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: she popped into Bunnings found the most gorgeous set, including

125
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: two chairs, cushions, a table, plus a pot cover, all

126
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: for three hundred and forty dollars money win exactly all

127
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: of that for the price of one Ika chair. That's

128
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: a huge win.

129
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to the main chat. Jodge

130
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: King kickiss off, my friend.

131
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: So the main part of today's show is all about

132
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: budgeting for our food a little better for the benefit

133
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 3: of our bank accounts. How's the alliteration there, guys?

134
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: Now.

135
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: Some corps recent Cost of Food report, which surveyed more

136
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 3: than fifteen hundred Aussies, reported that Australians fork out an

137
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: average of three hundred dollars a week on food, fifty

138
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: two of which is spent eating out.

139
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: Is it just me? Or is that? Does that feel

140
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: like a lot of money?

141
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: That does feel like a lot of money, But we'll

142
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 3: get to that.

143
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: We all right? Sorry sorry.

144
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 3: They also found that a quarter of Australians don't stick

145
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: to their food budget and a third don't even keep

146
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 3: track of their food costs at all. Na Vi. What

147
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 3: I love about today's topic is that it's relevant for

148
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: literally everyone listening. As you know, Spoilers, food is something

149
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 3: we all engage in. We all engage with a gentle

150
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: noh on some food, which means we we only need

151
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 3: to fit it into our budgets somehow before we do

152
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 3: get into it. Though, I wanted to follow you up

153
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: on that challenge that we hinted at earlier, that you

154
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: complete your weekly food shop at Aldi instead of the

155
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 3: main two supermarkets. How did you go to talk me

156
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 3: through it?

157
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: I kid you not, I am SUREK like I loved it.

158
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: I feel like this sounds like such a promotional, paid thing.

159
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: And whilst we are working with Audi at the moment,

160
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: I kid you not, I'm in love one their chocolate

161
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: ten out of ten, the dark chocolate with raspberry and

162
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: what is it almond pieces in it? Oh my gosh,

163
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: so cheap. I think it was like three dollars and

164
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: it's delicious. I found that I saved a whole heap

165
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: of money on my weekly shop. Now, to be really transparent,

166
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: it's just my partner and I in my household, and

167
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: we do not shop for dinners and lunches and breakfasts.

168
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: We do get Maley Spoon as well, so four nights

169
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: a week, dinner is covered. So the shop that I

170
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: did was for our weekly lunches, which we're in nic

171
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: thought moment. We're cooking a lot at home and our

172
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: breakfasts and snacks, and I bought one dinner and then

173
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: we will usually have like a takeaway dinner once a

174
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: week or so, so like that's the structure of how

175
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: we purchase food. And usually I spend probably between one

176
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty dollars on that, and I ended up

177
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: spending seventy at AUDI. So I feel like that's a

178
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: pretty big money win. Like that's a lot of money

179
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: to be saving each year if I can keep that up.

180
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: I am dietarily challenged. Like, let's be honest, I'm the

181
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: biggest pain in the butt to eat out with. Ask

182
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: Ryan John. He will let you know very vocally, Georgia,

183
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: you've experienced having to eat out with me, which's painful. Yeah,

184
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm a pain in the butt and I don't mean to.

185
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: But I am gluten and dairy intolerant, which means obviously

186
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: can't have either of those things. But on top of that,

187
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't eat animal products either. So for me to

188
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: actually find products that are ticking all those boxes was hard.

189
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: But I actually didn't have any issue finding my everyday

190
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: products that I usually buy. I like my musically, all

191
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: the flaw fools that I purchase, like all of those

192
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: things were AUDI and were arguably better.

193
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: I don't know that I've spooked the dips before that

194
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: came to mind when you were talking about all of

195
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: your intolerances. Their dips look good, Homas is heavenly it's.

196
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: As good as good, Thomas.

197
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really really good.

198
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: I'll put up a story on Instagram this week actually

199
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: when this podcast goes live, so you guys can see

200
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: what I actually purchased, because I think it's one thing

201
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, Victoria says it's cheaper, and another

202
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: thing to see kind of what I got. So I'll

203
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: take you through all of that. But genuinely, I loved it.

204
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: I felt like it was really really important to share

205
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: that as well. And I know that sounds really promotional,

206
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: but I promise you it's not. And as somebody who

207
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: I eat well, like we obviously get Marley Spoon and

208
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: like you know, eat a lot of really nice foods

209
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: once a week with our takeaway, like I do have

210
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: really high expectations for groceries, and you know, I'm not

211
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: upset to say that we're in a very lucky position

212
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: where we don't usually have to worry too much about

213
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: our grocery budget. And for me, the fact that I

214
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: can save that much just by going to Audi, which

215
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: is literally beside the supermarket. I usually go to like

216
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: you will see me there weekly, I.

217
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: Promise, Well, obviously you're an Aldi convert now, V and Spoilers.

218
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: Shopping there and at similar stores will be one of

219
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: our tips later on in the show. But before we

220
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 3: get there, V, can you speak for a little bit

221
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 3: on why so many people struggle with sticking to a

222
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: budget when it comes.

223
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: To food Georgia. Food, as you know, is an essential,

224
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: which may sound really silly, but it's something worth pointing

225
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: out here because we can't actually cut this out of

226
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: our budgets completely, and we do need to be dedicating

227
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: a significant amount of our income towards that just to survive.

228
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: It's an essential. It's like petrol or housing, like we

229
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: don't really have a choice about spending it. We have

230
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: to spend it, but we can control how much we spend,

231
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: and we can be really savvy and save on it.

232
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: In saying that, there are a lot of strategies we

233
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: can implement to brain in our spending in this area,

234
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: so it doesn't feel like we're taking a massive blow

235
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: when we look over our spending for the last month

236
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: and see that we've spent an incomprehensible amount on groceries

237
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: and takeaway food, which we all know we've done at

238
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: some point or another. I think this is totally something

239
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: that people do struggle with for a few reasons, Like

240
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: it's not just one reason, the first being that to

241
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: nail it and to be smart about your food budget,

242
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: you do need to be a little bit organized. And

243
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: we are living in an extremely busy and also really

244
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: weird time. That's not a luxury that we all have.

245
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: So yes, things have slowed down right now, and a

246
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: lot of us are working from home, but that means

247
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: that many working at the same time as homeschooling or

248
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: looking after the family or keeping the household going. We

249
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: have a lot going on, and sometimes we can be

250
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: tempted by the convenient option of just kidding who breeds,

251
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: or going and grabbing a takeaway or going to the

252
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: supermarket numerous times a week because we haven't had time

253
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: to plan these things, which does get quite expensive but

254
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: also fun stats it is also a huge time suck.

255
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: So a US study found because we couldn't find an

256
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: Australian one, sorry friends, that shoppers spend about forty three

257
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: minutes on a typical grocery shopping trip, and if you're

258
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: going to supermarket twice a week, which is actually below average.

259
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: That is more than three whole entire days in the

260
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: supermarket each and every single year, like Georgia, not working

261
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: hours like that round the clock twenty four to seven,

262
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: you're spending three whole days at the supermarket. That's wild.

263
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: It's you're being locked in the supermarket for three days.

264
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: I actually love grocery shopping. And my Mum's always like

265
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: you won't, sweetheart, but I love it at this point

266
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: in time.

267
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at this point in time when you don't

268
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: have a crying toddler at home, I feel like maybe

269
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: that's a bit of a drainer.

270
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's true. And also in Melbourne, going to

271
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 3: the supermarket is all we have, so you know that's.

272
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: Probably we can also go to price line, like if

273
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: your price line has well, if you've got a price

274
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: line that has a Priceline pharmacy attached to it, you're

275
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: able to go there. Unfortunately I do not have one

276
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: in my five kilometer radios. But if you do, you

277
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: are living your best life, my friends.

278
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: All right, I think it's time to get into our

279
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: top tips now, the first one of which is meal prepping. Now,

280
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 3: obviously This can be quite a healthy option as well,

281
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 3: which is great. But V can you please expand on

282
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 3: how food prepping can actually help our bank accounts?

283
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: Georgia. The logic here is pretty simple. When you meal

284
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: prep you are more organized and you'll be less likely

285
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: displode on things like ober eats midweek like I do,

286
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: because you've got nothing in the cupboard, or because you

287
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: can't be bothered cooking. I am definitely the latter, not

288
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: the former, sadly. But a good way of meal prepping

289
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: is to satisfide time on your Sunday afternoon, head to

290
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: the shops, stick to what you have on your list,

291
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: and come home and cook up a storm for a

292
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: couple of hours. If you hate cooking, pare your time

293
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: in the kitchen with a good podcast. I've heard there's

294
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: a really good money one floating around. Can't remember the

295
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: name of it though, or you could probably put Netflix

296
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: on and watch a good TV show. If you find

297
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: cooking a chort then this can make the process a

298
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: lot more enjoyable, and it will save you time and

299
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: energy during the week when you probably have less time

300
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: and energy anyway. So for me, that's really important and

301
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: a good thing to do. I am an on again,

302
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: off again meal prepper. Sometimes we prep the sometimes we don't.

303
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: But I think it's one of those things that if possible,

304
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: try a meal prep like And also can we talk

305
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: about not going hard the first time, like, maybe try

306
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: meal prepping two meals or three meals. Don't just go

307
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: really hard and be like, Okay, I'm meal prepping for

308
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: an entire week. That sucks and that's not normal to you.

309
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: So even if it's just planning your meals out and

310
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: maybe you know, cutting back on the times that you're

311
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: going to supermarket, for me, it's small steps in the

312
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: right direction, not bounds and leaps that become unsustainable. So

313
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: Georgia meal prepping can actually mean that you control the

314
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: price and also the nutritional value. But we'll leave that

315
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: familiar later of your food because you won't be ducking

316
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: to the supermarket midweek and you won't be ordering in.

317
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: It's all done and ready for you to go, and

318
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: you really end up making life easier for yourself. For me,

319
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: I think that this is the biggest thing here. It's

320
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: the ducking to the supermarket midweek that adds up. So

321
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. You might be like, oh man, Victoria,

322
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: I just pop in and get the things I was

323
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: gonna buy on my supermarket trip. Please stop lying to

324
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: yourself like I lie to myself. You were going to

325
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: pop in and you will spend a minimum of twenty

326
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: or thirty dollars like you might have just popped in

327
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: for one thing, but you end up picking like three

328
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: or four and it just ends up blowing out. And

329
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: if that happens all the time, your budget is literally

330
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: blowing each and every single week and you don't track it.

331
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: So for me, that's really really important. Another hot tip

332
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: gking on tour, which is totally a waste on all

333
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: of the people in Melbourne at the moment, is taking

334
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: your lunch to work. But that also kind of falls

335
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: into the meal propping category, which we know is a

336
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: huge money saver. I remember in the days when we

337
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: were allowed to attend and office Georgia, I would see

338
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: people go and grab fifteen dollar lunches literally every single day,

339
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: which doesn't sound like a lot, but when you look

340
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: at that from a weekly perspective, that is seventy five

341
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: dollars a week or Georgia thirty six hundred dollars a year.

342
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: That could be going either directly into your savings, or

343
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: that could be a holiday. Like, don't get me wrong,

344
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: all about savings and investing. Would love to see you

345
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: with an extra thirty six hundred dollars in your savings

346
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: every year. But also you could go on a family

347
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: holiday for thirty six hundred dollars just by one person

348
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: in a two person household saving money on lunches.

349
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: Love that. Yeah, I feel like looking at it in

350
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: the big picture, and I know we always do that

351
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 3: with coffee. It's like, if you buy your coffee every day,

352
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: that's one million dollars a year that you could have

353
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: had in your bank account. Like we do that a lot.

354
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: How much that's how much coffee I drink, it would

355
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: actually add up to a million dollars. I need to

356
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: save some serious money on coffee. They're I'm getting ridiculous

357
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: now the money confession from me.

358
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 3: Sorry, guys, that's all right, that's right, But no, looking

359
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: at it that way does definitely help. You also mentioned

360
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 3: Marley's Spoon their fee. Do you find it that's been

361
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: good for you economically?

362
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: I think there are people on both sides of the

363
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: fence with marley Spoon because they see the price and

364
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: they go that's ridiculous. I could absolutely spend less at

365
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: the supermarket. Yes you could, but they are completely prepped

366
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: for me, and they are to me environmentally and economically friendly.

367
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: Like don't get me wrong. Yes it comes with some

368
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: additional packaging, but I would have got packaging had I

369
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: gone to the supermarket anyway. For me, the fact that

370
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: for full dinners, and usually there's enough in each of

371
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: my dinners for like one left over lunch, and sometimes

372
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: we'll like bulk that up and you know, make it

373
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: stretch between two by adding some extra veggies or some

374
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: stir fry greens or something to it. But for me,

375
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: Mary Spoon works really really well because I can, you know,

376
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: know that four four meals are going to be in

377
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: my fridge and it kind of controls the cost, whereas

378
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: prior when I was doing that, I was popping to

379
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: the supermarket. So for me personally, yes, it saves me money. No,

380
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: it's not the most economical way to purchase dinners. But

381
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I am really busy

382
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: and I really love cooking as well. Like you guys,

383
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: if you follow me on my personal Instagram, sometimes I

384
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: think our master chef and like guide you through making

385
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: soup or something terrible. Honestly, it's awful. But I think

386
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: I'm funny, so that's all that counts, right, absolutely, But

387
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: for me, Marley Spoon makes sense purely be close. It's

388
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: a set cost, and I know I'm going to get

389
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: my four meals. They are, you know, I guess the

390
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: more higher end version of the meal press delivery services

391
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: that are out there, but they work well because I

392
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: have so many intolerances and like food problems and issues

393
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: that I can usually work around them quite simply without

394
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: wasting food. So yeah, we always pick the vegetarian slash

395
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: vegan options and then I swap things out, like if

396
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: I need to put Last night we had eggplant parmeganas Georgia,

397
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: which were delicious, and they had a little side salad

398
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: with some avocado and some cucumber and rocket and it

399
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: was really bougie. But because I obviously wasn't going to

400
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: eat the egg or the panco crub that it came with,

401
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: I just swapped it out for my own stuff. We

402
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: like dipped it in oat milk instead of egg because

403
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: you're meant to provide the eggs, so we weren't even

404
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: wasting an egg and then we use gluten free bread

405
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: crumbs instead, which worked really well for me. So yes,

406
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: I swaped some stuff out, but yes, it ends up

407
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: being more economical. And we're not sponsored by Miley Spoon,

408
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: but hell, if they wanted to live, I'd totally be there.

409
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. So the next tip we have here is implementing

410
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 3: some meat free days into our diet. Guys, I'm going

411
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: to take the rains on explaining this one. You, Victoria,

412
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 3: are basically a vegan, well, we would say, yes, yeah,

413
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 3: and I'm basically a vegio except for pork dumplings, which

414
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: I can't and I won't let go of.

415
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: Can't stop, won't stop.

416
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 3: No.

417
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: I know that. I mean it hasn't been recently, but

418
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: I do remember you leaving my house and driving straight

419
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: through the jumpling shop and you got your.

420
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 3: It was a big day.

421
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: It was a big day. And you were like, Victoria,

422
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: stop offering to cook me you're vegan dinner. I don't

423
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: want it. I want to eat my pork dumplings in

424
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: my car. And I was like, sorry, okay, bye.

425
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 3: It's like nine dollars for fifteen dumplings that I just

426
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: ate with my fingers on the way home. That was

427
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: a very short Sorry, I'm just being honest and raw

428
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,239
Speaker 3: with the people anyway. So the point here is that

429
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: even if you're not vegan like you almost are, or

430
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 3: vegetarian like I almost am, if we can start implementing

431
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 3: meat free days into our diets, that makes not only

432
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: a change to your wallet, but a change to the planet.

433
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 3: So lots of Australians are actually already doing this, which

434
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: is amazing. How to look at some recent research which

435
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 3: revealed that two point five million people, or twelve point

436
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: one percent of the population in Australia are now eating

437
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 3: all almost all vegetarians.

438
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: So and meat is just so expensive, Like please, don't

439
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: get me wrong. I think something that I'm really sick

440
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: of hearing is oh, yeah, but vegetarian or vegan alternatives

441
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: are so expensive. The vegan alternatives that you're referring to

442
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: when you tell me that they are expensive are the

443
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: expensive meat alternatives. They're like the fake chickens and the

444
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: fake you know fish that you see in the supermarket,

445
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: or the vegan meats. Twitch it's about so expensive, like

446
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: that is not reasonable for you to swap out to

447
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: like use lentils. Lentils are so cheap, and you can

448
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: make a really great bolonaise with them. Like, I think

449
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: it's something that we need to kind of stop looking

450
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: at all the shiny products that just say vegan because

451
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: it's trendy and be like cool. I actually used and

452
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: something that I do often and one of my best friends,

453
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: Harriet taught me about is walnuts. And I like, so

454
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: walnuts and mushrooms together and then I blitz them up

455
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: so that they're kind of like a mince texture. I

456
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: chuck some lentils in and I use that as a

457
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: mince replacement. So for me, that works really well because

458
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: then I fried up and I love mushroom and I

459
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: love the nutty kind of texture of walnuts once they're

460
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: put in, then I put like heap of grated vegetables.

461
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: Like it's so easy and it's so cheap. And maybe

462
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: we can put that recipe somewhere online for you guys

463
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: to have. It won't be in our cookbook. I'm sorry,

464
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: by the way.

465
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: With deadline on copies tonight.

466
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: Bro Yeah, sorry, there was a deadline on the copy

467
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: and I didn't make that deadline cut off, but George

468
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: King did, and we've got a very sick cookbook coming

469
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: right at you. But I think it's just you know,

470
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: me on my high horse again. But it's not expensive

471
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: to eat vegan or vegetarian. It is so cheap. Get

472
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: a tinner lentils and if you want to save even

473
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: more money, do what I do and buy dry lentils

474
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: and rehydrate them yourself. Yeah, so cheap. It's like a

475
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: dollary meal, come at me.

476
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it can be really economical. But the other

477
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: side of this, which I just touched on v was

478
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: the environmental and ethical side of the argument.

479
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: Argument of the argument, Yes, I love that.

480
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 3: So I don't want to delve into that in massive

481
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 3: detail here because you could do a whole show on it.

482
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 3: It's not really our territory. And you know, I would

483
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: be a hypocrite because I'm like Australia's biggest cheese consumer.

484
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: So aud each cheese consumer. Actually I believe.

485
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: Well that's it. Yeah, just we'll throw that one in there.

486
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 3: But it is worth raising that just reducing our consumption

487
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 3: of meat and animal products is a really great help.

488
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 3: Found a little quote from the UN which said one

489
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: of the top two or three most significant contributors to

490
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: the most serious environmental problems at every scale from local

491
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 3: to global, is raising animals to eat as meat.

492
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: And that's insane, and it's also you know, to get

493
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: back on our little high horse about this. Meat is

494
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: also highly correlated with health issues in humans. So if

495
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: you can cut down, like you're doing a good thing

496
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: for the environment, you're doing a good thing for your body,

497
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: like you're doing a good thing for your wallet. Like,

498
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: all of those things are a really great reason to

499
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: have me free.

500
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 3: Mondays one hundred percent and where by no means health experts, guys,

501
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 3: So take what we say with a grain of salt

502
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 3: and definitely do your own research. But I think that's

503
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: definitely worth flagging here as well.

504
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: I love salt.

505
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: Okay, So the next tip here V, which we mentioned before,

506
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 3: was shopping at Aldi as well as markets and those

507
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 3: alternative stores. I read on our Facebook group recently that

508
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 3: one of our listeners saves five thousand dollars per year

509
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: by shopping at Aldi, which is undeniably.

510
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: Amazing, incredible.

511
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 3: You know that I'm Aldi's number one fan girl V

512
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 3: especially have.

513
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: Been for a very long time, so I think it

514
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: comes as absolutely no surprise that we've been lucky enough

515
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: to partner with them because you've been working on this

516
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: your entire life.

517
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: I know it is. It's been my life goal. The cheese,

518
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 3: the tuna, sol Media, Chippy's, they're my favorites. But can

519
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: you please explain V why getting a little creative with

520
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: your grocery shopping and choosing Aldi as well as those

521
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 3: other folk food stores, et cetera is a good idea.

522
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: Look, I think a lot of us are drawn to

523
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: shopping and major supermarkets. Everything is in one place, and

524
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: they generally are just a really easy option. It's where

525
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: your parents shopped, it's where your you know, family goes,

526
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: It's where you just went because it was the easiest

527
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. Audi is quite new

528
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: to the market. Audi's competitors have been in the industry

529
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: for one hundred or so years plus even and Audi's

530
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: only been in Australia for about twenty years. And when

531
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 1: they first came in, they were a German company that

532
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, didn't have the Australian network that they now have.

533
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: And the best thing about Audi now is that they've

534
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: kind of like really put their roots in and got

535
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: an Australian produce and like pretty much everything in store

536
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: is Australian which is incredible and you can't say the

537
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: same for the competitors out there. And I really like

538
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: that because, you know, we talk about this in fast

539
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: fashion like we want to you know, really support local

540
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: and we really want to support you know, Australians, and

541
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: by doing this, I think it's something that just makes

542
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: you feel good about our economy and our world. Something

543
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: that I really liked. When we first posted about supermarket

544
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: savings hacks in our community, just saying hey, guys, like

545
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: what's your favorite hack or what's your question? We had

546
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: some people reply and they're like, oh my gosh, my

547
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: dad's a cheese farmer and supplies Audi, and like there

548
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: was just like this whole great thread about how great

549
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: Audi was and how their products were really organic and

550
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: how their products were really you know, locally grown and

551
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: locally sourced and supporting our economy. And I just loved it.

552
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my gosh, I didn't even

553
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: know that. I thought that they might have imported it,

554
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: but no, it was from Australia. And when I went

555
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: through the supermarket this week, don't get me wrong, wasn't

556
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: the first time I was there, but it was first

557
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: time I've walked through very critically and I was shocked.

558
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: I was just like, great, fantastic, Like their produce was local,

559
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: their stock was local. Everything was really branded to say

560
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: where it had come from, and all of them had

561
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: their little maps of Australia and I loved that. So

562
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us, you know, as I said,

563
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: had just drawn to it because it's the easy option

564
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: and that's the thing that we're comfortable with. But it

565
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: ends up actually saving us a lot of money, and

566
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: for good reason, Like they want to be different. They

567
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: want to be saving us money, like they have every

568
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: day low prices for a reason.

569
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 3: Now you said every day low prices, and I know

570
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 3: there's more to that. Do you want to explain that

571
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 3: a little bit more?

572
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that that's something that we kind

573
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: of just brush off, right, Like I've grilled the RD team,

574
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: you best believe, And that's one of their taglines, right,

575
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: they're like every day low prices, And then they have

576
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: their other one, which is about being different, which I

577
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: love as well. But I think it's really important to

578
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: be really critical of these things, right, and everything at

579
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day ends up being psychological. Like

580
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: you look at a standard supermarket and you will walk

581
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: in and every product that is kind of like their

582
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: premium product is going to be paying more to be

583
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: on the shelves at your eye level. Right, They're trying

584
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: to be there. The cheaper home brand items usually on

585
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: the bottom shelf because you have to put in a

586
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: little bit more effort to bend it only get them.

587
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: But that's the cheap items, and they might be a

588
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: little bit too high for you as well. So at

589
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: the end of the day, everything about a supermarket is

590
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: psychologically driven, and it is trying to get you to

591
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: purchase things for prices that make sense. But one of

592
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: their biggest things I've learned during this process, and I

593
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: think you guys will be shocked to learn about two,

594
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: is high low pricing. Georgia. Have you heard of.

595
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 3: This only because you mentioned it to me the other day,

596
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 3: But I'm still getting my head around it, so please expand.

597
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: So, essentially, high low pricing is where a supermarket goes

598
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: and agrees with a product provider on the high price

599
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: and the low price that that item might sell for.

600
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: So say you're just going to get some cereal, right

601
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: like not naming name brands, but they might say, all right,

602
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: this cereal. On sale, it'll sell for four dollars, but

603
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: regularly it's seven dollars, so that when it's dropped down

604
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: to four dollars, people think they're getting a really good deal.

605
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: But this was already built in, so people aren't getting

606
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: that good a deal. It's something we've already done. They're

607
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: not dropping it below what they can sell it for,

608
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: so we think we're saving heaps of money. But at

609
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: the end of the day, like the saving is kind

610
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: of falsified, which I thought was really interesting, and it

611
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: is not something that AUDI does. They just sell it

612
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: at the lowest price that they can possibly do. And

613
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: we know that Audi saves a whole heap or margin

614
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,239
Speaker 1: by you know, cutting out all the unnecessary stuff. Like

615
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: it might be a different experience we pack our own bags,

616
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: but it's Corona now and their self checkouts everywhere like

617
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: we used to that now anyway, the experience isn't all

618
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: that much different from what we've come to expect from

619
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: our quote, regular supermarkets.

620
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 3: We won't keep on going on about Aldi. Guys, my

621
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 3: two cents.

622
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: All the way could now I'm a racent convert.

623
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 3: My two cents is that Aldi's special buyers always fantastic.

624
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 3: I remember walking through the stores and there was just

625
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 3: this like giant gecko that you could pop in your

626
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: garden feet would have looked gorgeous in your little place.

627
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: So maybe next time.

628
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: If I see it a king that is a money loss.

629
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 3: Hey, it was a good deal anyway, but I.

630
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: Love do not need a garden gecko.

631
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: Brighten up the place though. Anyway. I found a little

632
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: stat that I thought everyone would find interesting from Choice

633
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 3: in twenty seventeen. They found that a basket of leading

634
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: brand products from Coals cost on average one hundred and

635
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 3: seventy dollars and fifty four cents. The Woolworth's equivalent was

636
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty eight dollars and seventy four cents,

637
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: so slight saving there. That's excluding specials. A comparable basket

638
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: of Aldi brand products was one hundred and two dollars

639
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: fifty again excluding specials, so that's a saving of about

640
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: sixty eight dollars, so that's a pretty massive.

641
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: Stat I really like that.

642
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: Similarly, bulk food stores, as we've spoken about in the past,

643
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: as well as markets, are really good options for saving money.

644
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 3: And really this whole point is just about putting a

645
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: little bit more effort into your shop to maximize your dollar.

646
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, just think about where I can get the best

647
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: value for the product that I need to purchase. Like

648
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: we're not saying if you're in love with one particular

649
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: brand of something, keep buying it, like I'm here for that.

650
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, if you're buying basics,

651
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: then you're buying things literally every single week. How can

652
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: you get the best deal on those things? And it

653
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: probably won't take you that much more time to go

654
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: and find the best deal on something once you have

655
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: that in your repertoire of habits, right, like, once you

656
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: just go cool, this is where I'm going to buy X,

657
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: Y and Z.

658
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: All right. So the next point here V is setting

659
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: up a budget properly for our food so we know

660
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 3: exactly how much we are spending, which we mentioned at

661
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 3: the top, not a lot of people are doing in Australia.

662
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: This is obviously your bread and butter.

663
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, puney relevant, relevant, Good work, my friend. So Georgia,

664
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: you I righte if we budget properly for our food

665
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: for the week and do it in a realistic way

666
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: that actually fits with our goals, So don't be like Oh, hey,

667
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: I've got a family of four, I'm going to feed

668
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: them on fifty dollars Like, I'm sorry, that's probably not

669
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: gonna work. Let's just be really reasonable about it. We're

670
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: talking about stripping away the additional costs and the popping

671
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: into the supermarket a million times when you didn't really

672
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: need to, and adding things that weren't on the list.

673
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: We're not talking about being unrealistic. Then we're going to

674
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: be on the right track. This is especially important for

675
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: people who may have partners that eat a lot more

676
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: than them. In me Georgia. This actually came up a

677
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: lot on our call out for questions on this topic,

678
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: as lots of our listeners have partners who love buying

679
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: lunch or eating. Trouble what they eat because if they're

680
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: physically demanding jobs and large appetites, but implementing a bit

681
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: of a budget and by having a conversation with your partner,

682
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: if you do have shared financial goals about perhaps being

683
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more frugal with the lunches, then I

684
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: think it is definitely a really great starting point.

685
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 3: So how do we actually set up a budget for

686
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 3: our food fee? Is that something you're all over look.

687
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm all over it, but do as I say,

688
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: not that I do. Sometimes I'm not gonna lie and

689
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: be like, hey, I'm perfect at food budgeting, but I

690
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: do really try. My partner and I keep a list

691
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: on our phones and we go back to it and

692
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: add we have shared notes, we both have iPhones, but

693
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: we add things to the list as we run out

694
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: of it or we realize we need it. But essentially,

695
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: writing grocery lists is a great way of sticking to

696
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: your plan and helps you avoid the temptation of popping

697
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: unplanned things in the trolley while shopping. I think it's

698
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: really important to also put some rules around what can

699
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: and can't go in the trolley, Like you're more than

700
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: welcome to add flour to your trolley if you've forgot

701
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: to put on the list and it's actually an essential item.

702
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: But I think it's important to also not put that

703
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: giant bag of malteesers in your trolley, even though they're

704
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: half priced, if you had no intention of purchase seeing

705
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: them before you went to the shops, because that's not

706
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: a money win and it's not good for your budget

707
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: and it ends up blowing things out. So for me,

708
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: it's just about being honest with yourself and working out

709
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: a budget that actually works for you and your family,

710
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: but then also being a little bit more serious. If

711
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 1: you really want them all teesers next week, you can

712
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: purchase them. So I think it's just what's on the

713
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: list is on the list. Obviously. If you forget something essential,

714
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: please don't get me wrong, I'm not going to wrap

715
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: you over the knuckles. But let's be just really realistic

716
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: and you know, make some meals, work out, you know

717
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: what your cheapest meal night is, and work out, you

718
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: know some staples and have staple foods, like there is

719
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with having lasagna every single Thursday or having

720
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: a boloneize every Wednesday or whatever it is, or Taco Tuesday. Like,

721
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: start creating some level of structure for yourselves because one

722
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: it makes it easy to remember, two tacos are really good,

723
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: and three I think it means that you can just

724
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: be really cheap about it. You go, okay, col this

725
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: is my set meal. I know exactly what this costs,

726
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: and who doesn't love Taco's Georgia.

727
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: Well, you bang on there. I feel like people listening

728
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 3: to this fee might be like, can't you just tell

729
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 3: me the number? Or the percentage of my income that

730
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 3: I should be dedicating to this. You obviously can't supply that,

731
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: can Georgia King?

732
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: You and I both know that that would be a

733
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: ridiculous thing to put on you. If it's like savings, right,

734
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: I get so annoyed, purely because I'm a financial advisor

735
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: when people say, yes, but what percentage of my income

736
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: should I be saving? Can you please stop putting so

737
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: much pressure on yourself by having a percentage, Like I

738
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: like knowing what I spend as a percentage, but it

739
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that that's the goal. Because if you earn

740
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars a year, your grocery budget is going

741
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: to be wildly different to someone who earns four hundred

742
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year, or even you know, one hundred

743
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: and forty thousand dollars a year. It depends on your

744
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: income and your circumstances and what you can afford and

745
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: what is reasonable for you. So please don't compare your

746
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: budgets to other people's. Like, don't get me wrong, Like

747
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: on average, like, let's share this, I see my clients

748
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: spending between seventy five and one hundred and fifty dollars

749
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: on groceries on average for a two person household that

750
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: then has maybe a baby as well.

751
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 3: That seems pretty cheap.

752
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 1: Like that's look, that seems pretty cheap at my clients

753
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: who I do hours of power and do my online course,

754
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: Like that's what we're seeing. But does that mean that's reasonable? No,

755
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: if you have a family of four and I know,

756
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, I've got another client she spends three hundred

757
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars a week on groceries, and she's just like, sorry,

758
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: that's not negotiable. It's what my husband eats, it's you know,

759
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: what my two kids eat. I'm not willing to change

760
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: that our budget in other areas, that is fantastic, Like

761
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: there is no right or wrong answer. All we are

762
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: asking you to do is be aware of these things.

763
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: Like if you are aware of your money story and

764
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: you are aware of what is coming in and going

765
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: out of your bank account, you are going to be

766
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: in more control of it. And that is what we

767
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: are aiming for. There's no good or bad foods, there

768
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: is no good or bad budget, there is no good

769
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: or bad anything when it comes to money. It's all

770
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: about being educated and being on top of things so

771
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: you can go, yeah, I know exactly what I spend

772
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: and I'm comfortable with that.

773
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 3: Love that all right. So before we move on to

774
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 3: our chat with Millie, just to recap, our tips are

775
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 3: to meal prep, shop more creatively at places like Aldae,

776
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 3: bulk food stores and markets, to consider introducing meat free

777
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 3: days or just become veggio or a quasi veggio like

778
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 3: my good self. And to budget properly. I haven't missed

779
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 3: anything there have I E.

780
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: No, you haven't. But I also want to add in

781
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: another one, and that is shop seasonally. So if nectarines

782
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: are in season, purchasing those as opposed to something that

783
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: is out of season is really important. Like I do

784
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: not purchase berries during winter because they are so expensive,

785
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: but right now you best believe I'm going ham on

786
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: strawberries because they're a dollar fiftyer punt. So for me,

787
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: I think it's really important to understand what is in

788
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: season and work to that because your grocery budget is

789
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: going to be cheaper, and also give yourself the flexibility

790
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: to switch things out, Like if I have a recipe

791
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: calls for broccolini, we all know brocolni can be more expensive.

792
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: Swap it for zucchinis if they're on sale, or use

793
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 1: a normal head of broccoli, like swap things out where

794
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: possible if it's not in season. Like it just makes

795
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: logical sense. But I think people often go, oh, but

796
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: the recipe, said Broccolinni. It's like, no, it doesn't matter.

797
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: It's a red curry, my friend. You can put whatever

798
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: you want in there. So I think it's just really

799
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: important shopping season, make sure you're getting the best deal,

800
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: what's on zale, what's on special in terms of produce,

801
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: because produce prices do really fluctuate. Instead of a listener question,

802
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: today we are joined by Maddie Padula from Dietitian Edition.

803
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: She's an Australian dietitian and nutritionist who is helping us

804
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: answer a few questions that we had from our community

805
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: on common health food myths and how we can eat

806
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: nutritionally and frugally at the same time, because while we

807
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: might be experts at finance, we are definitely not experts

808
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: at food. So lucky Millie is joining us. Millie, thank

809
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 1: you so much for joining us today.

810
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: It's such a pleasure to be here. I've been excited

811
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 2: for this all day, so excited to get into the chat.

812
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: Yay, so will we because literally all we do when

813
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: we're not talking about money is talk about food. So

814
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: the fact that we can bring these two things together

815
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: and talk to someone who actually knows a lot about

816
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: food is really really great. But instead of waffling on,

817
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: George King, why don't you kick us off with the

818
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: first question from our community? As you guys know, we

819
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: asked our Facebook group recently what questions you guys had

820
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: familiar about budgeting and nutrition and food and all the likes. So,

821
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: George King, what was our first question? All right?

822
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 3: So my first question here for you, mil is what

823
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: are the biggest or most expensive health food myths that

824
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 3: you've seen over the last couple of years that you'd

825
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 3: like to debunk? So like, I'm thinking midual dates, I'm

826
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 3: thinking a sigh, powder, supplements, juice, cleanses, etc.

827
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: Talk to us.

828
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 2: Love it and you know me, George and my followers

829
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 2: and clients know that I'm down for a nutrition debunk.

830
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 3: All the time.

831
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 2: It's actually one of my favorite parts my job. So

832
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 2: to start off, I actually wanted to talk a little

833
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 2: bit about dietary supplements. So these are things like vitamins, minerals, probiotics, probiotics, multivitamins,

834
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 2: So not really a health food trend, but definitely a

835
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 2: nutrition trend that I think you girls can relate. Is

836
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 2: probably something that maybe we spend a little bit too

837
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 2: much money on. But you know, the thing is is

838
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 2: for the general population, we do not need supplements. So

839
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 2: not referring to maybe people who are following a vegan

840
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 2: diet or a vegetarian diet, or that have some sort

841
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 2: of nutritional deficiency.

842
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 3: Victorious well like be twelve.

843
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 2: Exactly iron all of those things that you know some

844
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 2: of us or most of us may experience. But you know,

845
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 2: I'm talking for the general population, we do not really

846
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 2: need supplements, and our bodies actually prefer nutrients from whole foods,

847
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 2: so we actually absorb the vitamins of the minerals much

848
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 2: more efficiently from whole food sources. So I thought that

849
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 2: was actually quite interesting when I was learning about how

850
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 2: the body absorbs and metabolizes foods or nutrients. And another

851
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: thing that really concerns me is a dietitian, is that

852
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 2: only four percent of Australians actually eat enough vegetables. So

853
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 2: we've got our dietary guidelines that suggest we should consume

854
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: five serves vegetables a day, but only four percent of

855
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 2: us actually do that, yet thirty percent of us are

856
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,959
Speaker 2: taking some sort of supplement. So I don't know about

857
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 2: you guys, but that just doesn't really seem to add

858
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 2: up to me.

859
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: How many is five though? And like, what does that

860
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: look like on a plate? Because I feel like I

861
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: ate lots of vegetables, and I know I do, but

862
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: I know other people don't. So what's that look like?

863
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 2: So a serve is one cup of green leafy vegetables,

864
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 2: so like your salad ingredients and things like that, or

865
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: if you're looking at your cooked vegetables, it's half a cup.

866
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 2: So we're looking at either two and a half cups

867
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 2: of cooked vegetables every single day or five cups of

868
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 2: salad vegetables. So something I say to my clients is

869
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 2: let's get half your plate as vegetables or salads, and

870
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: that will give you a good go at sort of

871
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 2: getting in those five serves.

872
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: It feels like a lot, like a five cup salad,

873
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: Like that's a massive salad, right.

874
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 2: It is a lot. But if you think of a

875
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 2: cut being you know, two hundred and fifty mils it's

876
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 2: always bigger in your head, and when you actually put

877
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 2: it on the plate, it's probably not as big as

878
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: you think. The other thing that I wanted to touch on,

879
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 2: and you mentioned this, George, with our lovely ASI powder

880
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: or ASI bowls, are those superfood powders. So things like

881
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 2: greens powder, spirrillina, wheat grass, you name it, there is

882
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 2: a powder out there for it. And yes, these do

883
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 2: provide high levels of vitamins and minerals, and you know

884
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 2: they gain that superfood title because they've got lots of

885
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 2: antioxidants in them. But again it's nothing that we can't

886
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 2: get from our food. So if we looked at say

887
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: a blueberry two dollars fifty a punt it at the moment,

888
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: or a SI powder, which is about forty dollars I

889
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: think for a can of stuff so expensive.

890
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: I tried to buy some more recently and I was like, oh,

891
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: this looked like I don't know, trendy could make some

892
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: fun of Siah balls, and then I was like, is

893
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: that really worth it?

894
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 2: Exactly? And we all love an Assi bowl, you know,

895
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: Sunday brunch, not that that is happening anytime soon for

896
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 2: us here in Melbourne, but it is a nice sort

897
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 2: of phenomenon. It nice to go out and have something

898
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 2: like that occasionally, but the cost adds up over time,

899
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 2: so again we can get it through our food. The

900
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 2: next one is collagen powder, so it seems like a yes.

901
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: This is so trendy.

902
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 3: What does that make your skin like? Botox? Is that

903
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 3: because that's kind of what it sounds like.

904
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so your skin is made up of collagen

905
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 2: or not botop No judgment, No, no judgment at all.

906
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: I mean as we get older, our skin might be

907
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: less collagen and more botox.

908
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 3: Who goes, So, what what is this powder?

909
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 2: No? No, no need to be sorry all. I just

910
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: wanted to say about collagen And the reason I wanted

911
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 2: to bring it up is because I get asked it

912
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: a lot. But the evidence surrounding collagen is actually really weak.

913
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 2: So they're finding that it's actually only beneficial for like

914
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 2: joint health and arth writers. So something that us young

915
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 2: females may not relate to yet, but just something to

916
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 2: keep in mind for the future.

917
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: And these are really expensive, right, Like I see it

918
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: on Instagram all the time, people having their collagen in

919
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: their smoothies, and like, don't get me wrong, if that's

920
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: what gets you out of it in the morning, like

921
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: here for it. Like what you're saying is it's expensive

922
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: and also not doing all that stright right.

923
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 2: And it's funny that you say that, because I, you know,

924
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 2: having a little bit of a presence online or on Instagram,

925
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 2: do get approached by a lot of supplement brands that

926
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: are trying to get me to try their collagen and

927
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 2: promote it, and I just have to turn it down.

928
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 2: And I do feel really bad saying to them. Look,

929
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 2: you know, as a dietitian, I'm always about providing evidence

930
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 2: based advice, so recommending things that actually have science to

931
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 2: back it, and I do have to say, look, I can't.

932
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 2: I can't recommend that to my followers because it's unethical

933
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't use it myself.

934
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: So how if you've started this coming and then you're

935
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: like Millie, she's perfect stunner. I just want to get

936
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: her behind my product, And then you're like, yeah, cool,

937
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 1: So it's unethical for me coming out, so I cannot

938
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: be here or clad. Can we touch on juice cleanses

939
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: for a second. That was a really popular one, and

940
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: you know it's actually really expensive to do a juice

941
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: cleans I was looking recently online at the cost of them,

942
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: and it can be like one hundred and seventy one

943
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty dollars a week for the juices in itself.

944
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: Like one, what is a juice cleanse? And to what

945
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: am I detoxing from when I have a juice clean.

946
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: I can't believe how expensive they are. Is that a week?

947
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: Like a week's worth of juice for a week, So

948
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: that's seven days worth of juice.

949
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that is probably more than what you would

950
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 2: spend on your weekly grocery shop. But essentially a juice

951
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 2: cleanse is exactly how it sounds. You consume nothing but

952
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 2: a combination of fruit and vegetable juices over the course

953
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 2: of a week, so it's usually three juices per day.

954
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 2: They're essentially replacing your meal. And they used to, or

955
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: they claim to detoxify our body. But the thing is,

956
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 2: we have these really cool organs called our liver and

957
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 2: our kidneys that actually naturally detoxify our body themselves. So

958
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 2: juice cleanses fill us up on a whole lot of water.

959
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 2: They probably exacerbate our toilet try habits more. I was

960
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 2: going to ask you, Yeah.

961
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I already we a lot friends, and

962
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: that's just from drinking water, Like can you imagine, not

963
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: even just.

964
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 2: We the whole other. I'm talking about motions here.

965
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: Let's be hon we just get real deep on ches

966
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: on the money. Now. Last week the pink tax and

967
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: talking about vaginas. Next we're talking about our poop. Great

968
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: if you guys don't say we're not authentic, like just

969
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: leave exactly.

970
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,439
Speaker 2: And the thing is that with juice cleanses as well,

971
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 2: is you're not getting any nutrition really apart from sugar.

972
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 2: So you're not getting any fiber, no protein, no good

973
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 2: quality carbohydrates, no calcium, no iron, literally nothing that your

974
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 2: body actually needs to survive. So they are a no

975
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 2: from me, And I would honestly suggest saving your money. Yeah.

976
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Just on that sugar theme, mill I know it.

977
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 3: It was very trendy a couple of years ago to

978
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 3: do the clean diet with no sugar or the eye

979
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 3: quick sugar movement was really massives. Do you support that

980
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 3: or subscribe to that line of thinking at all?

981
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 2: Definitely not. I think if you followed me before, you

982
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 2: would know that my approach to nutrition is all about

983
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 2: having all foods in the diet and that all foods

984
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 2: can fit. So that does include sugar, and it includes fat,

985
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 2: and so you know all those foods that sort of

986
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 2: have a bad stigma associated to them, but we know

987
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 2: that we need them just from a being a human

988
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 2: being needing a balance of foods in our diet. So

989
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 2: the thing with sugar is there are, of course different

990
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,240
Speaker 2: types of sugar in the diet. You've got your natural

991
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,959
Speaker 2: sugars from fruit and dairy products and all those sorts

992
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 2: of things, and then you've got your added sugars, so

993
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 2: highly processed sugars from caine essentially. So these are fine

994
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: to have in small amounts, but I don't think it's

995
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 2: necessary to cut them out altogether.

996
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: Moving on from that question and in line with something

997
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: that is very popus hero at Cheese on the Money,

998
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: and you guys might know what I'm talking about already.

999
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: Oat milk is very popular here at Cheese on the Money.

1000
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: It is my milk of choice. But in twenty twenty,

1001
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: it seems like there is actually a milk made from

1002
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: literally everything under the sun. Is there really a best

1003
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: option when it comes to milk in terms of our

1004
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: health or our alternative milk's actually just really overpriced and

1005
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: not as nutritious as we think, Like, what should we

1006
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: be having? And if you're intolerant to dairy, what would

1007
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: you recommend is the best option?

1008
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 2: Great question. I'm very passionate about my milk alternatives as well,

1009
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 2: so love that you girls have jumped on the oat

1010
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 2: milk train. I think I've actually bought you an oat

1011
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,919
Speaker 2: milk latte before, George, you have done.

1012
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 1: Welcome to the club, Welcome to cheese. On the money,

1013
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 1: you would be here perfectly, swimmingly.

1014
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 2: Love it. Look when I'm weighing up the benefits of

1015
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 2: milk alternatives, so plant milks, plant milks, nut milks, I'm

1016
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 2: actually looking at how they stuck up in comparison to

1017
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 2: cow's milk. So the I know you said what about

1018
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 2: if you love toose intolerant, but I just wanted to

1019
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 2: reiterate that cow's milk is really great to have if

1020
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 2: you're not lactose intolerant or have a dairy allergy, because

1021
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 2: it's really high in calcium B twelve and protein, which

1022
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: unfortunately a lot of our plant based milks do actually lack.

1023
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 2: So from a nutrition perspective, you might be surprised to

1024
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 2: hear this but the one that stacks up the closest

1025
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 2: to cow's milk is actually soy milk. And I'm lactose

1026
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 2: intolerant too, so I love soy milk or that's my

1027
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 2: milk of choice. But it does get a little bit

1028
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 2: of a bad rap because of the fider estrogens, which

1029
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've heard a lot.

1030
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: About, So can you tell me a little bit more

1031
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: about that? So I know about that, but what does

1032
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: it mean for those of us listening who are like, well,

1033
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: what the hell's a phido estrogen?

1034
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 2: Good question. So, a fider estrogen is a nutritious compound

1035
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 2: essentially that is found in a lot of soy products,

1036
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: and it gets a bad rap because people think that

1037
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 2: it's similar to our hormone estrogen within our body that

1038
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 2: we know can or has a role in our reproductive system.

1039
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:03,240
Speaker 2: But the idents actually shows that phido estrogens in food

1040
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 2: do not act the same way in the body that

1041
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,720
Speaker 2: the hormone does. So it's absolutely fine to have soy

1042
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: products in moderation if you're having you know, leaders and

1043
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: leaders of soy milk on end or lots of TERMRMAE

1044
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 2: and lots of tofu. I would say, you know, let's

1045
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,280
Speaker 2: look at cutting that down. But for the general population

1046
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 2: who want to enjoy a soilate here and there, it

1047
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 2: is completely.

1048
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: Fine, awesome. I didn't know that at all. What do

1049
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: you reckon? Add ten? What to oat milk?

1050
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 2: Oat milk actually stacks up in my books a little

1051
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 2: bit higher than your almond milks and your nut milks

1052
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 2: because it has a higher percentage of oats.

1053
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, almond milks, Grice Boycott.

1054
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 2: I strongly dislike almond milk.

1055
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: Almad milk's disgusting. It tastes like dirt, dirt, water, and

1056
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: you know why because it's made of dirt.

1057
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 2: Well, it's made of literally ninety seven percent water. So

1058
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 2: you've got water maybe like two percent almonds, and then

1059
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 2: a few preservatives in there as well.

1060
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: So, oh good, sounds nutritious as hell.

1061
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 2: And you're basically adding water to coffee.

1062
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: G king. What is our next question?

1063
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 3: Let's talk about organic foods. They're almost always more expensive,

1064
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 3: but are they as nutritious or more nutritious?

1065
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 2: Again, this might surprise people and me here for the debunk,

1066
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 2: but here in Australia, organic and conventionally produced foods are

1067
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 2: exactly the same in terms of their nutritional value. So

1068
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 2: we know that people do choose organic produce for maybe

1069
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 2: environmental reasons or to support local which I am all

1070
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 2: about at the moment, reduced ingestion of chemicals, or maybe

1071
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 2: they just prefer the taste as well. So I think

1072
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 2: we can all agree that biting into a crunchy organic apple,

1073
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 2: I don't know there's something about it, but from a

1074
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 2: nutrient perspective, they are exactly the same.

1075
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: All right. So I've got a question that relates to me.

1076
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm gluten intolerant. For those of you playing along at home,

1077
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: is gluten free actually healthier for those without Celiac disease?

1078
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: So I feel like it's so trendy when people go

1079
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 1: to like brunch and they're like, oh, can I have

1080
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: it on gluten free toast? And then they're like, oh,

1081
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 1: we don't do gluten free, and then they're like, oh,

1082
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: sour dough is fine. It's like wait, what, yes, why

1083
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: do you asking for gluten free? Then get in the bin.

1084
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 1: But are there any cheap tips you have in addition

1085
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: to that for people who are eating gluten free? Like,

1086
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: if you are eating gluten free and you don't need

1087
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: to be, is that cool? Is that good for you,

1088
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1089
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 2: The short answer is no, Gluten free is not more

1090
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 2: nutritious for people who don't have Celiac disease or a

1091
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,720
Speaker 2: gluten intolerance, which is now actually called a non Celiac

1092
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 2: gluten sensitivity. I think they're always bringing out new names

1093
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 2: and new diagnosis, but there's nothing more superior or more

1094
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 2: nutritious about gluten free foods as opposed to gluten containing food.

1095
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 2: Gluten free is really trendy at the moment, so manufacturers

1096
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 2: and food companies are just slapping the word gluten free

1097
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 2: on products to make you think that it's healthier than

1098
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 2: it is. And it's probably double the price as well.

1099
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,240
Speaker 2: And I've even seen things like gluten free dairy products

1100
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 2: and meat and eggs so on products that don't even

1101
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 2: have any gluten. I'm in the first place, and it's

1102
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 2: it's obviously a very clever marketing tactic. But people full

1103
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 2: for it. I'm sure we all have before, but don't

1104
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 2: buy into it.

1105
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 1: Oh, I've fallen for it so many times. Like when

1106
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: I first got told I couldn't eat gluten, I just

1107
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: thought my world was crumbling because I loved bread. I

1108
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 1: see in the gluten free section like the gluten free

1109
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: potato chips, like in the like if you're in the supermarket,

1110
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: you see them and you're like, oh, okay, well there

1111
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: are like four dollars, and it's like, hold up their

1112
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: potato chips, shouldn't they be gluten free? And then you

1113
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: go to the gluten or then you go to the

1114
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: normal chip section and they're like two dollars and you're like, yeah, cool, okay,

1115
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: exactly question from our group because I've been wondering this

1116
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 1: as well. Our frozen fruits and vegetables, which we eat

1117
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,720
Speaker 1: not often much cheaper and a way of preventing waste

1118
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: as good for us as fresh stuff, Like should I

1119
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: be buying frozen stuff.

1120
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 2: One hundred percent? You should be buying frozen produce. I'm

1121
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 2: very passionate about this question and my frozen produce because

1122
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 2: if we're let's say, comparing frozen produce and fresh produce

1123
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 2: in our big retail outlets, most of the time the

1124
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 2: fresh stuff may have been sitting there on the shelf

1125
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 2: or in the cool room for two to three weeks,

1126
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 2: so naturally the nutritional value is going to deteriorate over.

1127
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: Time three weeks potentially.

1128
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: Don't quote me on that. Because I don't want to

1129
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,720
Speaker 2: get sued by anybody.

1130
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, that seems reasonable. Like hypothetically, if they

1131
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: were exactly right, their nutritional value would decrease.

1132
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 2: And with frozen produce that is essentially frozen at harvesting,

1133
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 2: so the maximum amount of nutrients is being retained. So

1134
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 2: I would usually say that frozen producee is just as

1135
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 2: nutritious or if not more nutritious than fresh produce.

1136
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 3: Okay, so the last question here is mil if you

1137
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 3: could talk to us a little bit about Hallow Fresh

1138
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 3: and Marley Spoon, which we actually spoke a little bit

1139
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 3: about earlier on in the show because Victoria uses Marley Spoon.

1140
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 3: But be careful with your auntswer airs out. But are

1141
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 3: the healthy or not slash affordable in European Yes.

1142
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll be surprised to know that I'm actually very

1143
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 2: pro Hallowfresh and Maley Spoon because I think it is

1144
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 2: great if your time poor. The meals are really nicely

1145
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 2: portioned as well. Again, it's a better option to take away.

1146
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 2: So if you're choosing a Hellow Fresh or a Maley

1147
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 2: Spoon because you are time poor or looking for a

1148
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 2: convenient option, then of course it is going to be

1149
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 2: more nutritious than fish and chips or pizza. The other

1150
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 2: thing that I love is it gives you you recipe

1151
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 2: inspiration as well. I mean, I don't know about you guys,

1152
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 2: but I feel like I've been making the same meals

1153
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 2: on rotation for literally the last six months, and I

1154
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 2: am always looking for some new recipes and new foods

1155
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 2: to try new food combinations as well. So I think

1156
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 2: it's great from that aspect and just to try some

1157
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 2: new foods as well. But it can be costly, I

1158
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,720
Speaker 2: guess if you're doing it and regularly, but it's all

1159
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 2: dependent on you and your budget. And I think it's

1160
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 2: a really good idea to try it, say the recipes

1161
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 2: and then make them yourself at home and copy them.

1162
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yes, I, as g was saying, definitely

1163
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: use Marley Spoon and have done for the last two

1164
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: years so consistently. We've had a Marley Spoon delivery every

1165
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: single week, extep for when we've been on holidays. And

1166
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: it ends up, as I was saying earlier in this episode,

1167
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: saving me money because I'm spending less on just like

1168
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: mindless shopping at the supermarket. Even though it is a

1169
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: little bit more expensive than just buying the ingredients. But

1170
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,760
Speaker 1: the amount of diversity in our diets now is crazy,

1171
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 1: and the fact that there's always like eighteen or twenty

1172
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: meals each week that we can choose from, as opposed

1173
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: to just being like, oh, I guess it's bollonnaise again.

1174
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: We really really love but you're rut save the recipes.

1175
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 1: They come with recipe cards, and we've been saving our

1176
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: favorite recipe cards. And I have this sweet potato and

1177
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: kale recipe that I adored, like a salad, like roasted

1178
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: sweet potato and kale with some dates and some almonds,

1179
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: and like, it is so good that we end up

1180
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 1: making it on the nights that we don't have Marley

1181
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: spoon because it's easy and it's also delicious.

1182
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that, And so true what you're saying

1183
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 2: in terms of you're not spending hours on end walking

1184
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 2: the supermarket aisles looking for things to make, because that's

1185
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 2: when I get distructed and I go, oh, look at this.

1186
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 2: I'll try this new product or that's on sale and

1187
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 2: I'll buy that, and you end up spending one hundred

1188
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 2: dollars and you've gone in for produce for one meal.

1189
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 2: So I love that take.

1190
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, and I feel like money win as well.

1191
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: Through the pandemic, guys, you guys were fighting over broccoli

1192
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: and all of your fresh produce, and mine was being

1193
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: delivered direct to my door with absolutely no delay.

1194
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 2: So riddle me that, friends, you're the real winner.

1195
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm the real winner here. Anyway, before I get completely

1196
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: off track and Georgia probably joins me, you guys have

1197
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: completely forgotten to share with our community that we have

1198
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: been working in the background, or you guys have been

1199
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 1: working in the background. I just was like, yeah, good idea, guys,

1200
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 1: go and do that for us. You've been working on

1201
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: a recipe book, haven't you.

1202
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 3: Yes, b we are working on an ebook which will

1203
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 3: drop today if we can get our skates on. As

1204
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 3: I said earlier on in the show, the copy deadline

1205
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 3: has been met, Victoria, you missed out on a couple

1206
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 3: of editions there.

1207
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you won't get my Pumpkin Super recipe, nor

1208
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: my kale and sleep potato salad. But should you be

1209
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 1: so lucky in the future, maybe I'll include them instead

1210
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: of infringing on Marley Spoon's copyright.

1211
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 3: Exactly, But no Mill has worked tirelessly on this e book,

1212
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 3: which is going to be amazing. There's lots of budget friendly,

1213
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 3: nutrition packed recipes there for us all to enjoy, so

1214
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 3: look out for it today. There'll be an announcement on

1215
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 3: our Instagram and Facebook page as well, no doubt.

1216
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: And George King and Millie. My favorite part about this

1217
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: whole recipe book, Every single one of the ingredients can

1218
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: actually be purchased at audi, which obviously we are massive

1219
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: fans of. But I think you guys will be surprised

1220
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: at the diversity that they had and the amount of

1221
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: recipes that we were able to come up with. And

1222
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,839
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we are finance experts, not food ex

1223
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: which is exactly why every single one of these recipes

1224
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: has been run past Milli, so you best believe that

1225
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 1: they are nutritionally complete as well as financially savvy. So

1226
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: let's wrap this all up merely. You have been an

1227
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: absolute dream. Please come back and visit us on the

1228
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: podcast again soon. But thank you so much for coming along.

1229
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 1: I have loved this chat.

1230
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 2: I have loved it too. Can I come and see

1231
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,040
