  1. I love your videos since you a lot of great french techniques. I love French cooking! I miss having a Whole Foods in my area since I moved back to Michigan (Northwestern area and a hour south of the Upper Penisula) after 10 years in Texas where we had HEB and Whole Foods with great cuts of steak, heirloom chickens and other hard to find produce, meats, cheeses at main grocery stores. I used to live in Valapariso, IN. Have you been to the popcorn fest?

  2. Chef. I understand going to Whole Foods for the quality but I’m wondering if you can save some money and still get decent quality from either Meijer or their sister store they own Fresh Thyme

  3. If I'm understanding the concept of this video, you're trying to save money in this video. Why then are you shopping at Whole Foods? Everyone knows that Whole Foods is much more expensive than most grocers for no reason. You could get more product if you went to another grocery store. Seems like you don't know how to economize. Also, when one shops at Whole Foods, they overpay at least $5-$7 on average. Or, everything I've said was unnecessary and you just wanted to show off your money.

  4. Doo this each week especially in this economy. And also good struggle meals using "low quality" ingredients like Great Value stuff from Walmart.

  5. Come on Chef! Weren’t you taught to never prep or cut your protein (especially chicken) on a wooden board? Very unsafe and high potential for contamination and food poisoning!

  6. Everybody is commenting on Whole Paycheck! Ugh, good food costs money. I’m with you, I shop at WF. Yeah it costs more, but my health and the great tasting food makes it worth it. Today people don’t realize that our bad health in America is because we don’t eat good food. I’d rather spend the money on good food and give up going out to eat

  7. Thanks for doing a full meal! I really enjoy that, it helps me step out of my "go to" options. Also, with all the added attention on what processed food is doing to our country, its a great source for young families! Keep going!

  8. Hi Chef, I've been subscribed for about a year now, love them and have made about a third of them. I do the food shopping also and make 2 to 3 meals a week. These "Shop on a Budget " videos are the best, very helpful for ideas about the upcoming week. Thanks again 😊😊

  9. Ummm no it's not. That's patently wrong. When you buy stock either in a can or the cartons you're paying out the nose to ship around a lot of heavy water, because that's what that is.

    They buy the same boullion base that you get in the cubes, or the better than bouillon paste, and add water to it. You get a lot more for your money going with either of those than buying the ready to use stocks/broths off the shelf.
