TikToker claims they live off just $1 a day in viral budgeting videos Unsplash.com: Towfiqu barbhuiya \/ TikTok: everylittlepennyA TikToker is going viral for living on an extreme budget, showing in her popular videos how she\u2019s able to make three meals for just $1 a day. TikTok is a hive for viral content of all types. Whether you\u2019re into beauty hacks, tasty recipes, or even extreme challenges, the popular social platform has something for everyone. That being said, some of the more unique videos that get uploaded to the site deal with living on a harsh budget; just take TikToker Axel Webber, who accrued an enormous fanbase in a matter of weeks for showing how he lived on an extreme budget in New York City. Another TikToker is rising in the ranks in this particular vein, and she goes by the handle \u2018everylittlepenny,\u2019 because, for her content, every penny does, indeed, count. The 26-year-old creator (real name Kathryn) shows her viewers how they can save money on a shoestring budget for necessities like food, bills, and more. To start, Kathryn \u2014 who hails from Manchester, UK \u2014 wanted to try her hand at seeing if she could survive a day on just \u00a31 (around $1.13 for her US viewers). Although she\u2019s done versions of this particular experiment at UK-based chains like Tescoe\u2019s, she\u2019s also done her shopping at Aldi, a popular grocery chain that\u2019s also local to the States. \u201cWith the current cost of living crisis and the constant rising inflation, a lot of people are having to cut back just to get by,\u201d Kathryn said in a statement to NeedtoKnowOnline. \u201cFor a lot of people it doesn\u2019t matter how much they budget; the real issue is that the average cost of living is consistently rising but salaries aren\u2019t at the same rate.\u201d Kathryn\u2019s $1 a day challenge saw her try to make an entire day\u2019s worth of meals on just $1. To start, she ate a breakfast of canned peaches (34p \/ 38 cents), chicken soup for lunch (24p \/ 27 cents), and a dinner of a jacket potato (19p \/ 21 cents) and spaghetti hoops (16p \/ 18 cents). She says it was \u201cextremely difficult to make meals with such a small budget, and I had to eat the same thing every day which got incredibly boring.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m not eating enough. I\u2019m not getting any nutritional value,\u201d she added in one of her videos. Although Kathryn\u2019s eye-opening content can be helpful, some commenters are pointing out the \u201csad\u201d reality of needing to live on such an extreme budget in exchange for lack of nutrition. Kathryn\u2019s viral budgeting videos follow another budgeting boom on TikTok where users claimed to save thousands by \u2018cash stuffing.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
