Aside from June's genius and resourcefulness with budget and recipe creation, it is SO REFRESHING to see food being cooked in a REAL kitchen, not one that has been glammed up for the cameras or stocked with inaccessible and pretentious gadgets. I'm so inspired seeing someone make do with what is on hand all the time, and presenting it with an honest and endearing personality (not the overly saccharine fakeness one sees on many cooking shows). June you're my hero!

Yall better be paying her some good money. She deserves recognition.

I appreciate that these budget meals are actually budget friendly. Other YouTube channels are like "oh this is my super budget meals for the week that anyone going through financial tightness can do" and the meals consist of salmon and steak

watching this back and realizing that we've been lucky enough to hear June's mom on these videos is kind of like a time capsule. Many kind wishes and condolences to June n her family :(

People who complained about her not using meat have never struggled. If you only have $25 you stretch that, It's between buying a pound of ground beef, or some rice and beans and veggies, you go for the option with more food everytime.

This is amazing because she was completely transparent about her food, it's failures, where it could improve, how many ingredients she used, multi-purposing everything, calling her mom for advice, working with small kitchen space, all that, and it was one of those videos that more people can relate to, cause not everyone has a pantry with extra virgin olive oil or vegetable shortening or wine or nutmeg or whatever. There's not a lot of content I can comfortably watch for almost an hour, so I really love this.

Can we just talk about the fact that she used the same exact dough for roti, bang bang noodles, AND dumplings like all some of the hardest stuff to make. What a culinary genius my goodness

Rewataching these videos and June never needed Delish, Delish always needed June more. June is a wonderful, talented, inventive, caring and genuine person and it shines thru in every video. Delish fucked up not doing right by her. She deserves more and I hope she finally is able to get it.

Watching this made me realize how hard it is for people who actually have to stick to a 25$ budget not for a challenge but out of compulsion . I pray and wish all of you watching this video never lack money or good food and blessed with abundance and success and health .

Rule in my house, chef never does the dishes. If you didn't cook dinner, you do the dishes. It's a fair trade for a meal I think.

Forget the $25 budget, Im just impressed she kept her stove-top so clean!

Man! I wish I had her skills. My first dinner would have been scrambled eggs and downhill from there. 😂

Aaron doesn’t drink water, it’s too bland for him. He just drinks chili oil.

My first time ever watching this show or seeing this girl, but she has so much personality and is fun to watch!

Rest in peace, June's mom. Thank you for your lotus knowledge in this video and bestowing us June 😊 without you, there would be no budget eats! 💕

Please bring back budget eats 🙏 truly the most entertaining, comforting and yet educational culinary shows every

She shopped $25 for a week meals, came up with the menus, prep and cooked the food and had to wash the dishes too? No wonder it's a splendid week for Aaron.

Man she is talented, frugal, has initiative, clever and a great sense of humour. Does he realise what a diamond 💎he’s got??

I love that even June has “I need to call my Mum” moments during cooking.
