A savvy American consumer from Boston shares how to cook up to 10 wholesome healthy meals on a budget of just $100 ($75) on the TikTok platform.
She claims that if you plan, it’s possible to eat healthily at a lower cost and reduce food waste.
Key ingredients are chicken, frozen shrimp, potatoes, broccoli, onions, mushrooms, and kale.
The idea is to buy local, inexpensive ingredients that can be used in multiple recipes.

The recipes, all gluten-free and lactose-free, are included in the description of the TikTok capsules.
