In 15 minutes you can boil five eggs, and eat them as they are cooked.

Seriously. The best way to keep to a shopping list, is to make sure you eat before you go shopping. The money spent on snacks on the spur of the moment, has blown more than a few budgets. There is more chance of buying food that will stop you being hungry, rather than just provide a sugar rush.

Plant and maintain a small vegetable garden in 15-20 minutes? That's pushing it a little I reckon

Other than that, great clip! Thanks!
