Dominique recently went viral on TikTok after sharing a five-part series explaining how she and Jesse typically spend around $3.30 a day on all of their meals.
The couple spend less than $50 each time they go to the supermarket, according to news.com.au, with their ‘food budget’ including extras like toilet paper and toothpaste.
“In our average weekly grocery store we buy cheap staples like bread, milk, canned tomatoes, beans, burritos, eggs, lentils, coconut milk and pasta,” he said.
‘We do all the meals in our van, unless it’s a very special occasion. We have a two-burner gas stove and a box full of kitchen utensils.
The couple’s favorite food, which costs $1 each not including the spices they already have, was featured in the first video.
Dominique describes the dish as “her version” of a lentil dahl. The recipe calls for onion, ginger, garlic, chili, lentils, and carrots.
The couple currently lives in a van as they travel across the country.
“We have this every week, sometimes three nights a week,” he explained.
Their eighty-cent meal consists of carrots, potatoes and French onion gravy and became a favorite after the couple made it out of necessity one day while supplies ran low.
The most expensive meal in the series is a chicken curry dish.
