Dominique recently went viral on TikTok after sharing a five-part series where she explains how she and Jesse typically spend about $3.30 each per day on all of their meals.
The couple spend less than $50 every time they head to the grocery store, according to news.com.au, with their ‘food budget’ including extras like toilet paper and toothpaste.
‘In our average weekly food shop we buy cheap staples like bread, milk, tinned tomatoes, beans, wraps, eggs, lentils, coconut milk and pasta,’ she said.
‘We make all meals in our van, unless it is a very special occasion. We have a two burner gas hob and a box full of cooking utensils.’
The couple’s favourite meal, which costs $1 each not including spices which 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, chilli, lentils and carrots.

‘We have this every week, sometimes three nights per week,’ she explained.
Her eighty-cent meal consists of carrots, potatoes and French Onion dip and became a favourite after the pair made it from necessity one day whilst low on supplies.
The most expensive meal in the series is a chicken curry dish.
Dominique came to Australia in 2018 and planned to stay one year but she fell in love with the country
