Hi guys welcome back to the channel. Today we are in Denmark and we're surviving on one pound
0:07
Now Denmark is an expensive country so having just one pound for breakfast lunch and dinner
0:13
is almost like mission impossible but we're gonna give it a go
0:17
all right so one pound is about eight danish krona but after you get shafted by the exchange
0:32
company you end up with six so let's see what we can do with six kronas in denmark
0:47
all right so prices aren't too bad in here a loaf of bread is about seven
1:01
crones fruits banana apple like two one crones three crones milk about ten
1:07
crones I got six and I need to make a whole meal of that so it's a bit tricky
1:17
All right, so we're up to 10 croons and I just found a surplus food supermarket
1:26
So the rescue foods that are destined for waste and then sell it back to the public
1:32
So on their website, it says at We Foods, we sell items with damaged packaging, incorrect
1:37
labeling and expired expiration dates that would otherwise have been thrown away
1:42
Now this will for sure have some considerably lower prices, and I can finally make a meal of my 10 croons
1:54
Um, excuse me, mate. Do you know what this says? It means like a free pate
2:01
Free pate? Yeah, like made of liver. Oh, wow, in there. Yeah
2:06
Okay. What they have is like produce that either run out on day or expire or close to
2:41
Outside outside there like a sign that says free patty yeah we have a free little style it not expired
3:00
but it's past you know the date where it tastes good i guess yeah yeah is it this one yeah right
3:08
So it was a really good store, amazing initiative, but I couldn't find anything substantial that I could make a meal out of
3:22
Alright, so I did some more research and found a food sharing fridge where they rescue foods from like shops and bakeries and stick it in here for everyone to make use of
3:33
I got myself bread and some clementines. Hi guys, I made a friend whilst having breakfast
3:49
His name is Davis, he's from Latvia, he moved here for a better opportunity as we all did
3:55
Do you know any hacks in Denmark? to get some honey regularly
4:03
by collecting patents recyclable bottles, if you collect them on the streets
4:11
you can easily get that thing around about 500 kronas in the day, if you're searching for it
4:19
for 3 or 4 hours, I don't know about now for the moment time, there's less people
4:25
okay that's a really good tip I'm gonna take that all right you know what I'm
4:31
curious about me did it used to be busier than this before COVID or is it
4:37
just the same less people here oh my lord yeah oh wow all right so I
4:55
I found this recycling tank which seems to have loads of bottles in there
4:59
So I don't know what the rules are. Like just taking the bottles out and then recycling it for some crones
5:05
Oh, excuse me. Can I ask you how this works? Yeah, you take the empty bottles, put them in here
5:12
and then somebody comes and picks it up and it will all be recycled into new glass bottles
5:17
Oh, but you can usually recycle that for some crones, right? No, these are without... Oh
5:24
So wine bottles and some juice and orange bottles also They are not you don get money to turn to deliver this bag So all those bottles we have to put in here Oh okay Fair enough Thank you so much Thank you You welcome
6:01
all right so up to nine crones which is a little bit better but i'm gonna have to keep looking
6:31
all right so i found a few more bottles i can recycle but i thought why not actually leave it
6:51
there for people who actually need it to survive so i'm just gonna add that to my total which makes
6:57
15 crones so let's get lunch okay so this doesn't help a lot because the cheap options here seem to be fast
7:05
15 crones All right, so like the UK, Denmark seems to have discounted products as well
7:50
So instead of throwing these in a bin, they just stick a discount on them and sell them quicker
7:56
Now I've got 15 croons so it's really either Burger King or salad
8:16
Alright, salad for lunch. Happy days. Oh my God Thank you
8:49
Is this free for everyone to try? Yeah. How much of it can you take
8:56
Give me a hand. Yeah. Oh, okay. Thank you so much. You're welcome
9:04
I'm sorry, you might give me a little bit. No, no, it's fine. Thank you
9:08
Alright, so we've got some free samples for dessert. So I was walking across the high street yesterday and this lady stopped me and gave me a voucher
9:25
for free scoop of ice cream because it was their grand opening
9:30
Now this was yesterday but I'm going to be super cheeky and see if I can still claim this
9:36
Hello, so I was walking across yesterday and someone gave me a voucher for free ice cream
9:44
Now I know this is valid only yesterday, is it? I think so
9:49
Okay, I'm gonna be super super cheeky and ask if I can redeem this today
9:55
Okay, thank you You don't have anything Okay, I'll have just any flavor
