This is the BEST “but cheaper” I’ve watched. Your efforts in adding the cost breakdowns are so beneficial, and the recipes are accessible. I LOVE IT

Finally!! FINALLY!!!! shakes fists FINALLY someone includes the cost to buy all the ingredients not just the cost per dish. I never thought this day would come. Thank you, Josh!

Hopefully now people will stop crying about him not writing the full price of things and act like it really matters

0:46 Butter Noodle
3:12 Drunken Noodle
5:16 Pastina
7:50 Chow Mein
10:24 Vietnamese Garlic Noodles
12:40 Yaki Udon
16:05 Japchae
19:40 Chili Garlic noodle

Thank god he’s using this format with actual recipes and not just “18 ways to make Shepard’s pie”

The person who measured out & did the cost breakdown for everything deserves a raise

For someone who lives in Norway, these price breakdowns are hilariously optimistic.

People always thought I was weird for how much butter I had on my noodles and knowing that theres such thing as "butter noodles" makes me so happy

This! This right here is what most people need. Recipes that provide the ingredients you need with the actual cost. Yes, it can vary but I hate recipes that say its a cheap dish at only $1.49 a serving, but you have to spend $50 in ingredients. Providing the actual cost is so important. I took screenshots to make some of these knowing how affordable they actually can be. Thanks for this!

I really appreciate the full cost breakdown. Way too often i see recipies they say 'feed a family for under $10' but when you buy all the ingredients the meal costs $50

Tip for protein: Chicken thighs would go great with a lot of this stuff. Theyre cheap and dead easy to cook; in fact, overcooking then makes them more tender because the collagen in the dark meat starts to break down! And you get in your protein so you stay full!

My Mom loved pasta and would serve us Buttered Noodles when we were sick. She has since passed away and whenever I make buttered noodles it is like getting a nice warm hug from Mom.

The reason bean sprouts work in chow mein is your brain perceives them as crunchy noodles because they blend together so well. It's a great way to make chow mein more healthy. I say this as someone who also doesn't usually like them.

The genius of this format is in how it also creates 8 perfectly sized shorts to probably more than double revenue.

Only $3 for butter?! Dang...here in my part of Canada I am looking at $7, and that is just for the Walmart Great Value brand 😕

As a college student thank you. I appreciate the fact you do this because it helps me not eat the same thing every day. You might not see this but thank you.

On the buttered noodles, you can step it up a touch by seasoning the water with chicken bouillon

Two incredibly easy things you can do to upgrade butter noodles: Get garlic powder and the pre-grated Parmesan cheese. Yes, the kind Kraft sells. No, it's not as good as getting fresh. But it's good enough and both add a lot of flavor and awesome to the dish for next to nothing. Love yourself. Get a few things to sprinkle into it that won't break the bank. It's how I grew up eating the dish, anyway.

Thanks for promoting cheaper food, lots of people struggling with finance atm

Appreciate how he pronounces Korean dishes, japchae and buldak, because he clearly knows how it is supposed to be said and not simply reading the English phonetically.
