Minsk Creator Prepares Three Dinners for One Ruble Each

A recent online video by content creator ZATESTIL has captured significant attention by demonstrating how to prepare three distinct dinner meals in Minsk, Belarus, for the remarkably low price of just one Belarusian ruble each. The video, uploaded on October 2, 2025, details the creator's journey through a local supermarket, carefully selecting ingredients to adhere to the strict budget. The first meal presented was mashed potatoes topped with fried onions, accompanied by a roasted chicken leg, with a total cost of 0.99 BYN. ZATESTIL meticulously weighed a single chicken leg, potatoes, and a small onion to meet this target. The second option, dubbed a "student dinner," featured instant noodles and a single sausage, coming in at 0.93 BYN. This segment showed the creator purchasing instant noodles for 0.59 BYN and a sausage for 0.34 BYN from different stores to optimize cost. The third and final meal, described as the "most Belarusian," was a plate of traditional potato pancakes, known as draniki, prepared for exactly 1.00 BYN using potatoes and onions. ZATESTIL's experiment offers a unique insight into the cost of living and food prices in Minsk, providing practical tips for budget-conscious individuals. While acknowledging the simplicity of the meals, the creator emphasizes their affordability and practicality. The video concludes with the creator expressing a hope that viewers will never need to rely on such extreme budgeting tips, but encourages them to save the ideas for potential future use. The content has resonated with a broad audience, garnering over 380,000 views and 12,700 likes, highlighting a widespread interest in economical living solutions.
