Hello everyone, back on this beautiful day on this podcast that I still am trying to figure out the name of. If you're currently listening to me, you've probably seen a name popped up, but that's the name I can kind of come up with right now. This is the podcast, and of course, like I said before in a funny way, my name is Mi. And I'm going to go ahead and dive deep into another topic of mine. As you may have heard from the beginning initial video that or audio I made, I really don't know what the premise of this audio is. However, that podcast, first podcast can probably give you more synopsis as to what it's about. But since this is still the first stages, I am a college student, very passionate about nutrition, health, wellness, society. And I'm just having a conversation or chit chat about things that I see as a daily person in Gen Z while focusing more on health, wellness, and overall, how people live and hopefully bringing conversations that people can sit around and talk. And of course, if there's like, where to be a comment section or anything, everyone, please be respectful. This is just a simple conversation, and I hope it gives you more clarity or happiness in any space that you're in. Alrighty, so today, I will be talking about just something I observed today. I do have two exams tomorrow. But of course, I'm taking the time out because I want to stick to a plan of attempting again, emphasis on attempting to get 30 podcast episodes out almost every single day, even if it might be short, just to continue momentum going. And it's kind of the topic of the inflation of like, health and groceries and how inflation is just affecting overall nutrition. I don't know about you, but especially as a college student, everyone's already scrambling for pennies to eat something. A lot of us are sticking to the ramen noodles, some of us are sticking to several means or four for fours or dollar menus to stay afloat. But then my issue is, is that when you're learning about nutrition and being healthy, and you're trying and you're in a college student, it makes sense. As college students, we already know the freshman 15, the sophomore 10, and so on and so forth. It's common. But then what happens once we leave college, get a job, and still we're finding ourselves struggling and families are starting to find themselves struggling paycheck to paycheck. Because the costs are so expensive right now. And it's just really a real thing that people are deciding whether to pay their bills or eat a healthy living. And of course, people are going to choose the paying their bills and keeping a roof over their head and lights because that's necessary. But what then happens? Like what is I guess the ultimate ramifications of doing that? Because as we know, healthy living is preventative medicine, point blank period, anyone can challenge me on that. But when you're deciding and debating whether I eat this apple or this convenient food, many people tend to go for the convenient food, but they're not what costs. And so then at what cost? Knowing what we know multiple subgroups, such as African Americans having higher cholesterol, Hispanics having diabetes, and many, and Native Americans as well having predominantly disposition for diabetes. It's like, at what cost does insulation have past just a roof over our heads? But it's like we can't also not live. So I feel like sometimes I believe in nutrition, we have to be more careful and more mindful of the fact that a lot of us when inflation goes high, it's just not just the roof over our head that collapse, a lot collapse in many people's lives. Many people are going into foreclosure. I'm not saying that we're really in the emphasis of a recession right now. But there's so many changes that are happening monetarily, that people are very insecure. And as we can see with the rising prices, it hasn't gone down. I've, I myself have witnessed how, at times, like I love eating healthy foods and cooking and being a grocery store and buying my essentials. I have a chronic addiction to a store that should sponsor me someday. Starts with a P and ends with, or shopping is a pleasure, if you can guess that. And I love it there. I love going there. I love spending my money there. I've been there even during the pandemic with double masks, double masks, double gloves. I did not mind going to shop for people at said place. But I found myself that even despite my love of cooking, despite my love of that store that attracts me every single aisle with its items and BOGO deals, I find myself being like, is it worth spending half what I have to buy groceries, knowing I have exams, knowing I have all these things to do? Is it worth buying all this that's only for, let's say, a two day meal? And of course, having the time and the effort that comes with doing this said meal, that would it be just easier and more convenient just to go ahead and buy the cheapest thing that I know is still standardly cheap, not maybe so good for my health, even though I can make modifications, not of course the best than me cooking my food. And I know that it's way better to cook my own food. It just reduces calories and reduces a lot of saturated fats and unnecessary things in my diet. But when I think about the fact that I have to now go and cook, which is a necessary cause, but cook for just me, and it's not going to need two days or more, it makes you think, should I just go for the convenience seat where I spend my money, but it could stretch, but I still know I'm not getting my full nutrients. Many of us, even in college, has been finding themselves sticking to the basics of carbohydrates, something that we've heard literally the bubonic pig or peasants eating. And of course, I'm not calling anyone a peasant for eating ramen noodles, because they're on the savings thing. Shoot, I need to learn more about savings and how to be good. I know there's some financial girls on YouTube who literally brag on the fact that they don't spend money at all, which is a great thing. However, I do know that overall nutrition is something that has a monetary cost. And yes, in my classes, we learn many very simple things and tips that I would like to also share for others who are in my boat, who have found themselves seeing that the prices are really high right now for food. Is there a way to make it cheaper? Is there a reason that I should do that instead of like, is there a reason or purpose for me to buy all these groceries for me then to cook for me then to have to go and do this all over again and see my bill and the bill for it that I used to pay for a month is now the bill I pay every two weeks. And it's a really necessary evil that comes with the changes of our society that we have these ups and downs and socially it's like why but I guess through this time I would like to share with you guys some tips to I guess subsidize some of those pains and kind of teach you and train me on how to kind of suppress those thoughts of going for convenience and get a little better and smarter through the inflation of our nutrition is what I would like to call it. Tip number one, track your expenses. Catalog your receipts. One thing that we all know as women, especially nutritionist women, or women who love nutrition is that we go crazy in our stores. I know people of mine and I used to have a phase of Whole Foods, Whole Foods, Whole Foods. But when you look at Whole Foods prices compared to some other stores prices, they're quite different. I used to be led on the slide that a certain brand with a target symbol tends to be very overpriced. And yeah, I do know that certain places that are found sometimes in specific demographics, which is true, do tend to have higher products, higher level products. But every store has its differences that makes it better than the competition is just how it is. So I guess one example of the thing is that in the Bullseye Superstore that I love to go there and shop, I know that I'm going to get my spaghetti for a dollar, which is unheard of. And in seeing my expenses, and knowing what is going into my cart and seeing my expenses, and knowing what is going into my cart and seeing my receipts, a big thing is that a maybe costly start to this is probably shopping your meals at various of these places and taking a look at the price points. That's a more expensive way of doing this, like buying your whole, maybe supply for half the month and like seeing it at various stores and comparing. Or if you're like me, who really wants to know what is going on, buy some few things, look at the prices at these various locations, and also determine how far they are for me, because even an advice that a family member has given me is that also the gas that it takes to go somewhere also gets ruled into that. So you want to kind of even online now that we're online shopping now more often, you're able to see the prices depending on the stores and stuff. So some friends of mine do store pickups, which is quite great, because you can then take exactly what things per price and then you can pick it up. But I that I like to pick up what I like to see, I would use the website to know the price compared to the other stores that I'm thinking of, and then buy from there. Of course, the healthiest is the farmer's market. But you also have to see how much your mom and pop shop is willing to give you for onions compared to the pack of onions that you see at the store. Tip number two, get the apps for grocery stores. I love my pub, my shopping is a pleasure store, because it enables me to once I hit I believe $30 in buying, I get $30 back. But then I go there often. So what does that mean that the sales that I get whether it's $1 and $2 that I get from the bakery aisle, the 30 times I get there to go get that dollar and panada, I can accumulate to I believe the $30 off for $5 discount that they have. So sometimes getting the app for these stores is very beneficial, putting maybe your Apple Pay, or your card on there and paying through the app can give you points. And that is a constant method that is being used right now. And I think that is a great way to get the most out of your grocery store. So I would say get the app for grocery stores.
