I would like to see difficulty vs taste instead of cost vs difficulty. I want to know if putting in the effort give you a drastically better result

I wish you'd actually given us the cost of making it homemade versus what you spent for the product you bought

I definitely find some things are twice as expensive to make, but do when I have time as they're healthier. Sometimes though it's hard to find time to do as much as you'd like!

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06KjObOff8w&t=870">14:30</a> You made Paneer there! That's the exact process we use to make Paneer at home. The word Ricotta literally means "recooked" cause it is made from reheating cheese whey and not milk and that's why the store bought stuff is less crumbly, more creamy, and less tangy

Bro, doing his best seeing the inflation, economy crisis and also, ensuring we eat healthy to even sustain these conditions. Thanks, Mike!! I loved the graph 📈 where you explained everything.

Yoghurt is so easy and so much cheaper (I use pre-made soy milk so it's way easier than vegan yoghurt options which tend to not be great flavour wise and are super expensive).

I’m so thankful for your channel. You are a foundational reference for me and my husband with 3 littles under 5 and some weeks I do more, some nights I rely heavily on store bought. But to know I know I have the skills and ability to if I have to is what is so valuable to me! Great video!

The most astonishing thing in this video was that you can buy L.Reuteri starter online! Not so long ago I had to use tablets for babies which I bought in Sweden. They even deliver to Germany! So thanks for that info. Ordered immediately.

Cool video concept! I'd love to see this expanded with more products, as where I could save money is something I'm genuinely curious about.

This is the type of stuff I like. Practical. What makes sense? Don't get me wrong.I love experimental videos but I wish there was more content out there like this that focused on what is sustainable.What makes sense and what makes life easier rather than more complicated
