Yes I’m still filming in my car Fridays are crazy for me but I want to share the best tip for you to save money on groceries are you ready okay I wrote about this in my book everything is messy when I was living in San Diego I
Would shop at like six to eight different markets to get everything I wanted to get the price that I wanted and the best quality food so now I’m in Vegas and I do the same not as often though cuz I don’t have my favorites here although there is one market I
Haven’t hit up yet that I’m dying to go to so maybe like next Friday cuz Friday I usually GR shop in between filming content and recording podcast episodes and back toback calls and I’m just getting over bronchitis so my voice is shot I am on an inhaler of steroids so
Finally caling down from that buzz I just had I’ve also been up since 3:30 because I am on steroids I hate them but they’re doing the trick cuz I’ve been sick since Sunday and nobody has time for that right now okay so back to the subject of this video you have to shop
At your local if you have them I don’t know where you live but I’m just telling you find a Mexican market an Asian market a Persian market an international market and if you’re like the pickiest eater ever then maybe just stick to like Walmart and trer Joe’s and Sprouts but I
Have price matched everything to get all the meals that I’ve created the recipes in my book everything is messy to be $20 for the night for the family and this was during the pandemic when everything was even more um in San Diego by the way
Or meal prep for you for the whole week so I know a thing or two about pricing I could tell you pricing like in every store and I I use some apps for like my digital coupons but it’s like I always have an ongoing shopping list and I know
Where to go what to get how much it is how to stuck up like what do I want in bulk I don’t really look at the sales stuff unless it’s like hooking me up with like a digital coupon or a free month trial where it gets delivered in
40 minutes by like mysterious Christmas elves which literally just happened so stay tuned for that story story time but this is for me in Las Vegas so if you’re in Las Vegas I’m going to hook you up right now so labonita is there used to be Marianas but I think they all closed
So Labon is where I go for meat I barely even eat meat I buy it for the house so I got chicken breast marinated chicken steak ground beef and chicken drumsticks like almost 3 lbs of everything for plus a bunch of produce for 4303 yes $43 I went there during Thanksgiving
Before Thanksgiving it was a nightmare but I somehow made it out alive and by the way you might hate grocery shopping so this video isn’t for you but I it’s like therapy for me like I enjoy it I obviously like wrote a cookbook so I’m like into these things but I feel like
It’s my duty now to share with you how you could save money on these damn groceries CU they’re so freaking expensive so find your local Mexican market for Meats Asian markets they’re noodles okay do not get anything American at these markets cuz it’s literally like triple you go for what
They’re known for so Mex Mexican markets you go to the meat department their produce is out of control I can fill up an SUV of produce for like a couple hundred dollars like I’m not even kidding the Asian markets also have the best produce things that are from um
Asian countries and I get what do I get there my um oh my God my brain’s not working all my radishes all my eggplants all my beans all my Ginger like I love that stuff from the Asian market but if you want to deal on fish and lobster and
Shrimp Asian markets and by the way the smell I think I’m just triggered from my PTSD like some people areen to Fresh Fish I can’t handle that smell and when I was going through chemo I went with a friend once and that’s all I remember now they also have like a
Really yummy like Bakery situation Mexican market too their rolls are bomb the cookies are kind of bland but the rolls are good so so Mexican Market for meat and produce Asian markets for seafood and also random produce that you’re going to become obsessed with that you can only get there now my
Favorite the international markets obviously everything from anywhere is there but you got to make sure you know your pricing this is where you get your noodles if you go to the Asian markets and get your noodles sometimes there are like more especially like full gluten
Not the rice ones um but you just got to look like it’s it’s kind of like hit or miss with that definitely do not buy anything American brands at these stores because it is so expensive the international markets right now like for the example the other day I needed rose
Oil for my face if you go to Ulta Sephora you’re getting rose oil for like 20 30 bucks a pop with all this other stuff in it I get pure rose oil from Morocco I put it on a cotton swab and you know I’m just saying it works um I
Specifically went there cuz it’s like four bucks but it actually was only 29 which is weird cuz I always thought it was four bucks and then that’s where I go for my Hala and I’m obsessed with food from Israel and the Middle East and Falafel and Persian anything Persian but
No like seafood just like not really the lamb but like I’m talking like fluffle hummus Chuli like all Middle Eastern Mediterranean like obsessed with that kind of food so these are the markets you want to go to to get um Pro like things that you can buy off the shelf
These are for like pantry and fridge some freezer the international market I went to the other day they’re noodles it I was in like noodle Heaven pasta heaven like um the bags that are the paper on the top and they’re like $10 a bag but they’re like the huge ribbon noodles
That’s like a special treat um they look incredible like those are always going to be like 8 to 10 bucks a bag but Hava and this time they had all their holiday chocolate sets out they are like lifesize I actually have a photo of my friend’s daughter she’s holding this
Like massive massive um I think it was cookies or Oreos something but that’s where you go for like one OFA kind holiday sets like food related that you need like nice gifts for that um like no one’s expecting you find your local International Market and trust me it is
Worth an hour drive if that’s where you have to go this girl in front of me I parked at a um Park and she’s working out like crazy and I’m about to go for a walk and she’s like really motivating me she’s doing hand dance I should flip the
Camera but that’s so rude I really want to flip the camera she’s doing handstands on weights oh my God okay so Hal I get there you can get really good like mochi mochi or Mo Mochi I think it’s Mochi I’m not into that but they get really good deals they give you
Really good deals like in the freezer aisle on like a lot of stuff especially dumplings if you are a dumpling girl you want them Frozen you get them in the freezer aisle at your favorite Asian market sorry um Asian market but also International market so International markets sometimes cheaper now if you’re
Into Persian food go to a specific Persian market so I have my favorite one ever is in San Diego they have a baklava bar at the registers I mean come on they’ve got cigar shape triangle shape square shape they have Walnut pistachio almond honey caramel like any baklava you can think
Of it’s like a legit cart at the end of the register which isn’t smart cuz you’re like oh hold on and then you’re like holding up the line you’re like okay I want this one this one this one and then the people are like can you move it along produce is always
Overpriced there there’s a Persian market that’s in Long Beach not Long Beach um like right by Disneyland It’s called Wholesome Choice I think Wholesome Choice and they have hot bread coming out of the oven that I use for flatbread for pizzas homemade hummus homemade tabuli homemade halva halva
Um God that is where you go to save money on things like this and then when you want things delivered I’ve never used this service but I tried it the other day cuz I was so sick I downloaded Walmart plus first of all I’m not a fan
Of the store second of all I had a free trial it’s $12.95 a month I think I ordered like H hundred something dollars with the food at 11:17 a.m. I paid $5 extra to get it within 3 hours it showed up in double bags cute little knot by
Christmas elves in 40 minutes 11:57 that was on my door can you believe that like I saved so much time money and energy just today going to the Mexican market for the meat Walmart for random and I only had to go there and I took all my
Calls while I was there like power walking up down all the aisles um because I couldn’t get a good window to get it delivered so I did it myself and I needed to get my steps in anyway and now I’m going to go to trer Joe’s and
Then I have to go back to the international market because they were out of sumach so maybe I’ll head up the Persian market I always like to go there Sunday and there’s close on Sundays here um but I gave you a couple names and a couple tricks so I hope that helps um
Get every app from like major retailers Grocery Stores um so that you could get digital coupons because there’s so many of right of them right now just to save you time money and energy and if you have any questions drop them below but those are my tricks Mexican markets Asian markets International markets
Persian Markets download apps Digital Coupons get delivered get free trials I just save like $50 in door Dash the other day just because I haven’t used the app in a year and I have like all these coupons and free trials like take advantage of that especially now
During the holidays there too many germs around obviously so I hope that helps what is your favorite store what are your favorite places to shop what city are you in let me know in the comments and maybe I can help you with some more ideas
