June set out to cook a whole week's worth of meals for two on a $30 budget. The catch? There was a 30-minute time constraint on every meal!
This week’s episode is all about time management. Ever felt like you just don't have the time to cook for your upcoming week? Well, we're hoping that maybe you can take some inspiration from June and her delicious creations!

    My choice for a budget eats would be for june to visit a random home, and make mystery meals from their fridge. How awesome and inventive would that be.
  • @ImLeoIsing
    Please don't stop making episodes of budget eats. That is the only thing I'm asking to this series and/or delish and/or June.
  • @LaroseMatthew
    She's a comedian, a camera women, motivational speaker oh and cooks amazingly. June is one of the best things to happen to YouTube!

    I'm from the Caribbean, when peeling green banana, green plantains or any produce that stains your fingers, we use cooking oil to coat our palms and the knife that we're using. This helps to prevent staining.
  • Finally someone announcing to world, that getting grease off plastic is hard, hate the plastic usage in weekly prep videos. S much environment risk and harder clean up.
  • I've been struggling with mental health, since I was in a motorcycle accident in March. I used to cook to cheer myself up, but couldn't use my hands for a while. When I'm feeling the absolute worst, I would watch June cook and plan what I would cook when I could. Now that I'm back on my feet, I listen to June while I cook in my own kitchen. Thankfully, my mental health is improving along with my physical ability. Thanks to June and the folks who produce Budget Eats! Y'all are wonderful.

    Hearing June describe how time consuming and mentally taxing it is to create this series makes me feel a little guilty for enjoying it so much…is there a way this could be reworked to be easier on our star? Maybe another Aaron episode?
  • June: single handedly making me not afraid of messing up cooking. When I cooked before, I needed a recipe which I needed to follow religiously. June has taught me the fun in throwing things together and that even if it doesn't work, most things can be rescued. Low key life changing stuff.
  • @owlislike
    I adore the realness of this show. Scorched wood cutting board? Have it and use it. Grating carrot stubs? Never do ( snack for me). 90 sqft kitchen with no hood vent in the summer? We sweat in small kitchen solidarity.
  • @WhiteRaven696
    June should really consider making a Budget Eats cookbook with all of her favorite Budget Eats concoctions, honestly. And obviously sell it for $25 to keep the Budget theme intact.
  • In the current cost of living crisis, June’s videos are invaluable aid and inspiration to help people learn that they can eat well and feed a family on a budget. Keep them coming!
  • @anag9799
    I love love love June's honesty. There's enough "perfect" videos. But the reality is that cooking takes a toll. And that's ok. It's hard work! Her candid comments throughout the video make me love her (& Delish) even more.
  • maybe it's just the chaotic energy in this episode, but the budget eats cooking style is like if you crossed a racoon with a michelin star chef, this is a compliment I swear :)
  • @debbied1141
    Thank you so much for choosing my suggestion from the previous video, this is exactly what I was looking for - I'm biased but this is one of my favorite Budget Eats episodes and I'm totally using the flavored rice meal prep next week. If you wanted to make this a series I know I wouldn't complain - vegetarian or vegan meal prep, meal prep on a bigger budget (still within a modest budget like $40-$50), gluten-free meal prep, all microwave meal prep, Asian-inspired meal prep, you get the idea.
  • “Spork Tender!” Probably one of my favorite June quotes of all time!
  • @Ry24fit
    The only food video on youtube that I'll spend 1.5 hours watching the entire thing! Very entertaining!
  • Honestly this is what meal prep means to me. Preping some ingridients, being creative and eating fresh food daily. I dont know anyone that would eat the same meal over and over through the whole week, plus the prepared meals get grosser as time passes! Also pro tip (maybe you’re already using it): when microwaving rice add a glas of water alongside the rice as some of the water will evaporate and keep your rice moist. Cant wait for your next video! 😃💖

    "Media, baby. Deception is in our genes." "Work-life balance is a myth" "I had too high of expectations... which is to say I had expectations at all" June is dropping TRUTH bombs this episode. Love it! And yay for Aaron cameo! And his Majesty of B.E. Fred!
