Behind the Scenes: Spending Less on Groceries
Lunch meat is also super unhealthy because the preservatives in it can cause intestinal cancer. I love the idea of DIY'ing it. So much better for your health! ❤
Thank you! This is super informative.
I am glad! With these grocery prices, multiple ways to save is key.
Any tips stand out to you or need any more information for any of them?
This lady looks young! So wise. I’m 67 and have been doing these things for 40 years plus. I now fly to visit our bachelor son 1200 miles away every couple months and make him no less than 18 frozen dinners. He does cook but quite blandly. I make these in one day and usually is five recipes, surely saving a couple hundred on grocery bill. The ingredients partner with each other used in various ways with different spices. It’s gratifying to save him money and feed him nutritiously. Oh did I mention he is GF and dairy free. Lol it’s a challenge but so is frugal cooking! Keep the videoed coming!😊
I am young! But I learned from my mama 😄 Sounds like your son benefits from his wise mama a lot 😊
I remember making dinner with 3 kids, 5 and under, under my feet the whole time. One day I was trying to cook and my kids were fighting about who got to be He-man. (It was the 80’s). Anyway, I remember yelling, “Jeffrey! For the love of God, let your sister be He-man!” I still say no one should have to utter those words. Ah, well the kids are 40 now.😊
@@alohr3491 whatever helps get dinner done! I wish I could post a photo as a reply. The other day I cooked while wearing a travel pillow around my neck and a toy purse because that's what the toddler demanded 😆
I’m excited for that long video 🤩
Gonna take a bit to edit 😅
Cornbread barbeque pork chop mashed red skin potatoes with sweet butter collard greens and glass of water I made, quite yummy 😋
Ooh that sounds delicious!
I need to get more organised like this ❤ great vlog 🎉
@@LighterMandy thank you! Getting more organized with meal planning is your goal?
@ yes, I so need to organise my shop instead I’m grabbing things at the shop, it’s bad planning and it’s really not helping what I’m trying to achieve x
@@LighterMandyI try to avoid the store as much as possible and stick to my list as much as possible! I'll have a video up in the next week or so that's going to be a deep dive into all my best planning and saving tips!
@ thank you will look forward to it
🎉
@@MammieBarry glad you liked it!
@@MammieBarry Thanks for commenting 😊
Wow, Your last recipe with the tomatoes and feta cheese looks delicious. I am definitely going to try this.
@@aimeethomas5674 the beans go surprisingly well with the feta and tomatoes! And I use pesto rather than just basil for bigger flavor
Sounds good....Another tip I have is to buy some nuts. I like walnuts and pecans. Also buy raisins or some kind of fruit. Toss them together and put into a small container with a lid. As you're driving home and starving, take out the emergency food and eat a couple of bites while at a stop light. It will take the HUNGRY edge off until you get home and cook.
@@marthaC495 ooh never thought about the snack on the way home idea!
@@marthaC495 I do grab stuff like that for diy trail mix though
And what you see under my mantle is the top of my daughter's toy kitchen 😂 #momdecor right?
Looks like something a dog would love to eat, if he could be a human for one day. 😂🎉
@@PaulAssmann anything resembling a casserole is never pretty 😆
@@PaulAssmann but it tastes good!
Pasta?
@@kochfeemiri663yup. It's frozen pasta
I like this
@@agadamSystem easy dinners are always a win!
Definitely 💯 trying this
@@Mr_E.Nastolgia definitely add it to your list!
I appreciate these!
I hope they help!
Are there any parts of grocery budgeting that are particularly hard for you?
Please ignore the garage debris in my hair as I set up the tree 😂
I'm doing animal based. Just started it. This is a good reminder that I need to redo all my menus. I seem to be spending a ton of money
@@Kyriecat12 changing things up can often throw off your budget for a while!
@@Kyriecat12 we have been working on incorporating more meatless meals, not fully plant based, but let me know if you want any ideas!
@@LiveCheapTravelOften All of our meals will be meat. We're doing just meat, fruit (including squash, zucchini, etc)
@@LiveCheapTravelOften If you have ideas on the meat please let me know! No meat less here 🤣😁❤️
@@LiveCheapTravelOften Guess I should mention we're also doing eggs, butter, good cheeses. I have some basic ideas..... But it can get really expensive to try to eat steak every night 🤣🤣🙈
Another suggestion is taking 30 days to shop your kitchen and pantry. Im doing a shelf-tember video series. Its been so fun to show how creative i have to be tp use the stuff i have! You can also shop your kitchen and meal prep freezer meals! Have a great weekend!🎉
Yup! I can never do long term "Shop your shelf" challenges though cause I do that every time I meal plan so I rarely have much left to work with!
@@LiveCheapTravelOften that's a much better way. Much more sustainable!
@@SimplyKatieWalks one of the top ways I've always kept our grocery budget low!
@@SimplyKatieWalks although sometimes when dealing with extremely small apartment kitchens, it wasn't really a choice 😆
@@LiveCheapTravelOften agree

It seems like your videos have great potential but are facing challenges in reaching a wider audience. Here are some possible reasons: 1. SEO Optimization 2. Target Audience Reach 3. Effective Use of Hash tags 4. Social Media sharing By addressing these areas, you can enhance your video's visibility and attract more viewers. I can help with that. My info is on this very channel I'm using to comment.
Trying to work harder on this for my husband and I. You would think it wouldn’t be as hard for 2 people as it is when both work 40 hrs a week.
@@britt2009ism there is always some level of hard! What's the hardest part for you?
First time viewer-- appreciate your ideas on making meal plans more realistic I did find it distracting that the top of your head isn't in frame. it makes the base of your neck the visual focus....which is weird as a viewer. Just a friendly tip
@@CeresIsABetterPlanetThanPluto Idk how i didn't realize that when filming but it definitely bugs me! Definitely check our my previous video for more in depth tips on being realistic to ACTUALLY save money!
This video popped up on my feed, and I clicked without looking too carefully. A game I play with myself is to guess how many subscribers someone has before I look. My guess was 20-30k, and there was only around 100?! A travesty. Your videos are great, and I have no doubt you’ll exceed my guess sooner than later. Thanks for the great content. Stick with it, because you’ve got what it takes. ☺️
😂😂😂 Thanks
Another thing to think about is purchasing things that do not go bad quickly - carrots, potatoes, onions.
Yup! One of my meal planning/money saving tips is to order your meal plan but not necessarily assign days. "Order" the plan by the meals that have ingredients that spoil quickly and make sure to cook those the first few days after grocery shopping. Although I think that's only an issue if you plan and shop for multiple weeks at a time!
Makes so much sense!
And really does apply to everyone!
Great tips, thanks! ❤ I like to buy the frozen chopped bell peppers and the fajita peppers & onions - seems to save me time and money like you mentioned with other frozen veggies. I also like the slow cooker or instant pot as a favorite kitchen tool. I like how each person can find what works best for them.
@@Abeautifulmundanelife I still don't have an instant pot! Definitely love my slow cooker though
I'm not promoting my channel, but I did a video on travel even if don't have room in your budget for travel. I thought your viewers might be interested! Your tips are great🎉 ua-cam.com/video/IbdaN_pKpsE/v-deo.htmlsi=9Icnzbw13pZ6wyiH
I've got a similar video coming up about how I can afford to travel even without paid time off since I'm an independent contractor!
@LiveCheapTravelOften I love those kind of videos! I'm retired but always love new frugal tips. My husband and I love to travel.
@@SimplyKatieWalksretired and traveling is the eventual goal 😄
Dumplings sauce is equal parts soy sauce and rice vinegar, a splash of Sesame oil, squeeze of sriracha, and minced garlic. All to taste! And amount decided by you too- we like a lot of sauce!

Hey lady! My channel is travel and frugal tips also. But I'm an old granny. We have 3 more trips this year. Your tips are great. I'm doing a use up challenge this year. Buy less!
I can never actually do any "pantry challenge" type things since that's my usual method 😂 I don't have much to use up!
And I'm a granny at heart 😄
We dont eat out because i was a waitress for 25 years. You know, bus mans holiday. We eat basically the same thing every monday, every Tuesday and so on... with little tweaks. Groceries are so easy this way. Of course we have something totally different every so often, but its usually a pantry pull. The crockpot is my best friend.
My crockpot and frozen veggies tied for being my beat friends 😄

we did walmat deliery last year when our ccar broken down. asdy forgot the crayons and they kept messing up non food items
Oy. So they mess up non food too? 🙈
Am I the only person who is more prone to both forgetting things, and impulse buying when shopping online? By not having a cart to just look down at and keep track of, I will grab random snacks thinking I haven't gotten enough for my family, or will lose track of little staples of meals.
I still use a list and cross off! I'm definitely more tempted in store for snacks and treats
I ordered delivery once from Walmart. It took 8 hours to get it halfway straightened out. The first guy gave me the wrong order. The second lady put it on the porch and then started removing it. I had requested for them to just leave it on the porch. I don't know if she was stealing it or what.
So we've all come to the conclusion that Walmart pickup is not great? 😅
They tried to bag my tomato under tonic water bottles the other day at HEB. It might have been ok when they picked it and then bagged it wrong.
Ugh that can definitely happen too! I've had glass jars end up on tip of things.
