Day 3, living on 1 euro in Berlin. Let's go
0:04
So for breakfast, I found a food sharing website where people can share food with the community
0:10
Now, I saw this lady giving out bread and bananas. I messaged her. She said, yeah, come pick it up. So I'm on my way
0:23
It looks like they're giving out free clothes over there. It's just a rack of clothes just on the street
0:59
I'll take just these if that's okay. You can take much more if you want
1:04
Okie dokes, we got some bread and some bananas. Right, let's find somewhere to settle down and chow
1:14
Alright, back at the hostel. Now I've got bread and bananas. And yesterday I managed to get cereal and milk from recycling bottles
1:27
So I'm going to have that with my bread and banana. Trust your cornflakes
1:40
A whole loaf of bread that would have otherwise gone to waste and a community of people gathering it and sharing it amongst each other
1:49
How amazing. Got some bananas. So I'm going to slice my bananas into my cornflakes
1:54
and if I can find maybe butter or jam to have with my toast I might ask downstairs if they have some
2:06
Bon Appel Tea. Breakfast is served. You gotta dip it, man. All right, lunch
2:26
I've still got my one euro, and I've been told the cheapest supermarkets in the city are nettle and little
2:31
So we're going to head to one and see what we can find for one euro. Preferably filling
2:37
Not like yesterday. They had a croissant. That wasn't a good deal at all. Thanks
2:42
I just want to be rich. right so i've just walked in and we've got the bottle recycling machine over here as well
2:49
plan b if you can't find anything under a pound under a year or so all right definitely found
2:54
where i need to be loads of foods for 49 cents so there's spaghetti there's pasta there's chili
3:01
con carne there's noodles there's potatoes there's carrots and stew and the whole lot
3:08
happy days look at all of this all 49 cents yes please yeah i think i might have gotten it wrong
3:14
so i thought the meal was in there and you just have to like warm it up like this would be
3:20
spaghetti you just stick it in water and warm it up and you have spaghetti but
3:27
i think it might just be the seasoning which is a bit of a shame i was over here getting excited chilling con carne the whole lot pasta
3:37
all of this it's just the seasoning that's in there I thought it was like the whole thing
3:41
I think I'd rather just go for noodles vegetable flavor it's 59 cents for one I would have loved two but
3:50
I might be able to keep the rest for dinner 59 cents not bad when you on a budget listen you gotta eat light man Do you want enough for a piece
4:05
Thank you so much. Thank you. Have a good one. Like a bowl and fork, if you have one
4:14
I just thought the donut is fine. Thank you so much. So, if I need to get some hot water, I'm gonna let it simmer for a bit
4:21
We're going to add the seasoning and then give it a few minutes to dissolve
4:27
If it doesn't, we're having semi-roar noodles for lunch. All right, I think the noodles are ready to eat
4:36
It's somewhere between raw and cooked. It looks pretty good, actually. Alright, so I'm just down at the market and there's a lot of people protesting the crisis
4:52
Now there are people also protesting in Amsterdam and here they are again. The whole world is causing a ruckus
4:58
They're not having it. Okay, so more or less what they're trying to do is raise more awareness so more people
5:03
can stand behind them and then eventually get the government to make changes because
5:08
we're all going through this crisis. Inflation and everything, energy bills, everything's going up
5:12
and we're all trying to figure out a way to cope with it. If only they knew I was surviving on one
5:18
pound. Yeah, this is definitely where I need to be. Right now I'm at the market and it's almost
5:23
closing time so everyone's sweeping up, packing up. So this is probably the best time that my money
5:28
can go further. I can probably get a really good discount, something hopefully for 46 cents that
5:34
can do me for dinner wish me luck all right fruit seems to be all there is I
5:39
don't think I fancy having fruits for a second night in this week so maybe I'll
5:46
have pastry let me speak to these people see if they can like offer me some pastries for 46 cents hello are you closing this this is all I have is there anything I can get for this Yeah This one I know One euro Is it discounts
6:05
Discounts. Discounts. Discounts. I don't know. No? Okay, so he's told her to give me something
6:13
I'm not sure what it is, but it's called simit, something like that. So we're going to see it
6:17
Well, at least I managed to get something. okay I managed to get a bread roll with sesame seeds on it I don't know if I
6:26
necessarily wanted bread I've got tons of bread in the house so this is just
6:30
like yeah dinner I guess all right so I'm back at a hostel and this is what we
6:38
managed to get for 46 cents it's like a bread with sesame seeds in it I'm not
6:45
sure if it's savory or sweet but it's a ring. Okay now it does taste a little bit better than this
6:52
bread because of all the sesame seed on it so it's got the flavor of that as well and it's got
6:57
almost like a smoky fried flavor from the bread so it gives you extra depth from officially halfway
7:06
through the sesame seed bread. It's super dry, it's a little bit tasty and that's about as much as I can
7:16
save for it. This is dinner so I can't complain. Alright there you have it we've officially survived
7:23
