Shadowing Practice: I Ate The CHEAPEST Meals for 24 hours... - Learn English Speaking with Video

My next meal will only be one dollar.

Matter of fact, for the next 24 hours, I will be eating the cheapest diet.

Starting here.

Just kidding.

We'll be back here later.

But first, we need breakfast.

Here are the rules.

I have a total of five dollars to spend today.

One dollar on breakfast, two dollars for lunch, and three whole dollars for dinner.

So now I'm going to show you how I'm going to spend only a dollar on my breakfast.

Ouch.

It won't fit.

And here we have our $1 meal.

Right here is 32 cents worth of ramen noodles.

A 12th pet comes out to $3 .87.

Three eggs, and right now eggs are about 14 cents per egg.

But Abe, that's only 74 cents.

I needed a Bev.

So I've got one scoop of Ecovision Ecolite in there.

That is roughly 25 cents per serving if you use code Abe and save yourself 15%.

First bite.

Ayo, what the fuck?

Back in COVID, me and my brother would eat so much ramen, we ended up calling my brother ramen boy because that's quite literally all he would eat.

This meal will probably be the best bang for my buck.

It's quite a lot of food and it's going to be very filling, but now I'm just going to chow down, cue the time lapse.

You know, if you think about it in your extreme budgeting, I'm taking about a penny per bite and then I accidentally do a slow -mo here, so here's a little seductive shot, I guess.

Oh, yeah.

almost gone final slurps

meal number one is complete we're gonna head to the gym see how i'm feeling after

that first one

and then time to set up for meal number two bloated

bloated to all hell that's what i feel after having a

gram of sodium for breakfast ramen noodles are such a sodium bomb

so now i'll show you guys what is for meal two we pulled up to the one

and only dollar tree we walk in the store and there is

so many options to choose from

and then i find the worst news possible dollar tree doesn't

only have dollar items anymore six dollars 250 are we serious

but then i found some stuff that we can actually buy

so we're going back home we're now leaving dollar tree with the goods

and i've never been more disappointed in my life dollar tree

hardly has any dollar items anymore this was a dollar fifty

and this was a dollar so this meal is two dollars

and fifty cents but it's time for this gourmet meal smells absolutely rancid

and for our protein finally we're having some today chicken of

the sea gross dog food for lunch let's go i'm extremely excited to eat

but i'm not excited to eat this bowl of dog first bites everybody

if you don't like this video you have to eat this meal for the next 10 years

so smash that like button at first i was eating this meal with no water

so i had to dip out and get a glass

or else this was too miserable even with the water it was not good it tasted like nothing

but at the same time tasted horrible and just like

that it is almost gone i've got two bites left this

was disgusting 10 out of 10 do not recommend eating from

dollar tree never again here the taste of victory was in my mouth not the taste of food

that was horrible but i completed it and after

that last meal i've come to the realization

that five dollars is not gonna be enough food

so here is the next strat all of a sudden today is my birthday meaning i'm gonna get my phone

and sign up for a ton of rewards and see

if i can get free fast food and if

that doesn't work i'm gonna see if they will just give me free stuff

but i will first make us dinner so let's go to walmart and prep

holy fine let's go canned chicken a dollar 32 this will

be the highest protein meal by far 23 grams of protein in this entire thing for a

while i was looking for some sort of carb source

and i came back to right where i was

and the canned chicken was right there i turn around check

this out white rice 92 cents for this much i'm only

using maybe a serving i have 76 cents left i'm searching far

and wide i was thinking about seasonings a dollar for taco seasoning it's more expensive than the rice

that i bought you know i was super excited for

that rice but i just found something even better for a carb source russet potatoes check

that out the price is only 88 cents

and one onion okay after switching a ton of stuff up

mainly just the rice i now have 80 cents left i got everything

and i'll show you very soon now

that we have our ingredients for dinner it is time to make some pit stops

and get free stuff starting with culver's uh can i just

get a single scoop of the flavor of the day

and then i have like the rewards app

and it's for a free scoop do i show

that like uh yeah up there okay thank you and check

that out we got our first free thing andy's mint scoop of the day at culver's culver's is

so gassed definitely the best fast food place I'm a huge mint chocolate chip fan

so this is probably the best meal of the day

and it was free infinite free ice cream glitch you didn't have to wait

or anything literally I signed up right before I came here

and i got free ice cream after having this i'm not

gonna test my luck at any other places i'm just gonna go home

and make dinner

because this was amazing birthday method free food everybody i'm letting y 'all know at home i've got everything

and the total came out to 267 we've got a yellow onion canned chicken

and one singular russet potato it's time to chef it up

i'm using seasoning i don't care specifically potato slayer you can get this at walmart

or target it's so good i use it on sweet potatoes sweet potatoes

or regular potatoes i originally only used half an onion

but you can't even see the onions in there

100

so i'm gonna cut this one up

101

and put it in there oh brooke is back chef brooke look at that stir

102

that shit up let's go boy anything to say to the viewers i'm really really good at cooking

103

and abe just doesn't want to tell you

104

that okay now for the protein chunky chicken this honestly looks better than the tuna

105

or salmon whatever i had earlier but it definitely doesn't look appetizing

106

and it doesn't smell appetizing either bro do you want to give it a whiff oh

107

that smells like cat food i don't think it smells like cat food i'd say more like gross fish

108

but i split it in half

109

because this is not enough protein for both portions here so i'm only gonna be eating this section

110

definitely gonna have to add more seasoning but it doesn't look too bad in my opinion For a $2 .80 meal, this is good.

111

This looks pretty good in my opinion.

112

Ooh, look at this slop bowl.

113

It's almost done.

114

I added some water to soften the potatoes, and then it is time to grub.

115

And here we have our $2 .67 meal.

116

And there was more potatoes than this, just not enough potatoes for the protein.

117

First bite, we have the chicken, we have the onion, we have the potatoes, all of it.

118

It's not bad.

119

The chicken, I season pretty well.

120

I use garlic, paprika, onion the potato slayer seasons on it

121

and we have a dog come here we have a dog here that wants a bite

122

come here what do you rate it oh he's scared finishing off the final bites here

123

and the challenge is complete this was the best meal the second best meal was breakfast

124

And the last one was the dollar tree one.

125

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
