If you’re on a budget (and who isn’t these days?), you’re going to want to listen closely to what a woman named Marlee said in a viral TikTok video about how she manages to eat on the cheap.

In her video, Marlee said that she only spends $30 a week on groceries at her local Aldi store.

She said she wanted to let college students know about her tips because they might be nervous about grocery shopping on their own for the first time.

Marlee said, “Don’t deny yourself the things you really enjoy to eat. And it’s gonna help college, or if you’re living in a new city, feel like home to find comfort in the food that you’re having, but it doesn’t mean that you have to spend a ton of money at every chance you get.”
