My First Grocery Haul 28 Sep 2024
Переглядів 194День тому
My grocery haul was from Kroger. I had these groceries delivered. Why delivery? My truck is not working, and I could have used my daughter's car. My knees give out before the end of my shopping trip. I've had grocery pickup a few times and did a delivery on September 05th. Even with the delivery charge and tip, I bought less and stayed under my budget of $400.00 for a month. As I said in my vid...

Looks delicious!!!
We had cod a couple weeks ago, I forget with what. I'm not too sure about my salmon cooking skills. I made basque sheepherder's bread in the dutch oven yesterday and beef stew to eat with it, so tonight it was leftovers. If I'm honest though I had bread with a bite of stew. I have gastroparesis, so I can't really eat meat and vegetables without a day or 2 break in between.
Nice dinner! I love using nutritional yeast. I’m fasting tonight so I’m living vicariously through everyone else’s dinner, LOL. Have a a wonderful night. ❤😊
I love making sourdough bread ❤
The biscuits look delicious ❤
❤
Looks delicious ❤
Yum❤
Hi Helen that’s a tight budget. God bless you
Good Morning, Helen. Last night I made hot dogs and fries and fruit salad. Nothing fancy at all. There are leftovers in the fridge for lunch. Behind you are some accordian doors, you don't have to answer if you don't want but I'm curious what you keep in there. The reason I ask is because back when I worked, I worked for a local homebirth midwife and she had a large space with doors just like that. She used it as a pantry. This was years before I started my journy stocking things up and I'd never seen anything like it. I thought it was a beautiful space right off her dining room and she had it filled with all sorts of shelf stable items. She taught me so much over those years! Anywho. When I saw yours, it brought back that precious memory of her home. By the way, you made me put Salmon Patties on next years meal list. We like them very much and yours look perfect!
Your supper sounds excellent. I talked about hot dogs for a meal with my cousin last night! Those are the closet doors in my bedroom. I'm living in the house I grew up in. Years ago, I asked Momma if I could have that kind of door on the closet, and she bought and installed them herself. I don't know why she didn't ask Daddy to do it; after all, he built the house! I like to keep a can or two of salmon in the pantry. It's great for me.
Hello there that sounded good what you had for dinner tomorrow I have a video that I'm showing how I made soy protein chili so I had some of that left I made it a couple days ago and I made a taco salad with some of that chili on the top,,,
Hey, Mrs. Peach, that sounds delicious. These days, I usually make vegan chili. It's great. It's good over tortilla chips, with jalapeno and sour cream or Greek yogurt. When I made chili for my family, we added Rotel cheese dip to the top.
Very smart move ,,,,i was wondering about that chicken could you have froze it in individual servings and put it in the freezer or was it too old I know sometimes I let mine go too long and then I think I can't save it... Blessings to you my friend I hope you're having a great day
Hey, Mrs. Peach. Thank you for stopping by. That chicken was my enemy! I could have frozen the chicken, but my freezer doesn't work. Chicken upsets my stomach.
🙂👍 Fabulous! 🙂 Thanks for Sharing amazing video!👍 Big like! Stay blessed ever! Regards 🙂👍
Thank you!
Fantastic, Helen! You're doing wonderful. 💗💗💗
Thank you, Gen!
Looks great. I did a shirt and long video on my dinner tonight. I had asparagus, pork roast and scalloped potatoes
Your video is in my queue to watch. I had a phone call from my cousin as I was about to start watching it.
Looks good ! We actually went Out it eat with some friends tonight ! Looking forward to Monday and trying your banana pudding !
Oh, looking forward to seeing you too!
Another incredible video, I love seeing what you are having for dinner. ❤
Bon Appétit, Helen! I like nutritional yeast and use it instead of cheese on top of pasta. 😊
Thank you, Lavinia, for commenting. Nutritional yeast is VERY versatile.
"Someone needs your kindness" is a powerful statement!
You have a good stock of groceries. I’m sorry the chicken upset your tummy. Like you say, it’s not a deal if you end up having to throw it out so may as well just buy a small piece. When it comes to keeping lettuce and spinach I always crinkle up some paper towel or napkin or even a cotton kitchen cloth and put it in the container with the greens, close the lid tight and it tends to keep the greens fresher longer as it absorbs the moisture. I’m going to do my best to keep my budget at the 50 dollars. If nothing else it will help me to stay focused on watching what I spend. I tend to make a lot of impulse purchases and waste so much food. Have a blessed night 🥰 ❤
Hey Donna, Thank you for commenting. I'm sad about the chicken. I love chicken. I could eat it every day, but my body rebels! My freezer is not working, so I couldn't save it. I will try the tip for the lettuce and spinach. I remember my mother used to keep lettuce wrapped in a kitchen towel. Living on a fixed income, I need to watch what I spend. The grocery store is the last frontier for me regarding impulse buying. Not wanting to or feeling like I don't want to cook, I waste my food by not cooking what I have.
I’d make chicken soup and put some in the freezer for a quick meal one night😊
Yes, but my freezer isn't working right now.
Great challenge 😊
I'm really looking forward to seeing how much I can save!!
Great video thank you for the mention just subscribed
You're welcome, Missy! Thank you for subbing. I did the same for you. Let's be an encouragement to one another!
@@helencantimagine yes and you subbed just in time I am doing a giveaway tomorrow at 2 eastern time to celebrate hitting 500 subscribers so I will add your name have a wonderful evening 🩵
@@Missycookingonabudget Thank you, Missy.
Beautiful table setting ❤❤❤
We just spatchcocked a chicken on Sunday. It gives us enough chicken to make a few dishes to enjoy.
Hey Angela, Great!! Would you share with all of us what chicken dishes you prepare? I would be interested. Thank you for your comment.
@@helencantimagine We take the meat from the chicken and use it to make tacos, casseroles, and chicken salad
I don’t think I have ever had lentil soup. But my husband just informed me that he loves it so maybe I should try making some.
Hey Patti, I hope you'll give it a try. They come in red, green or brown. I personally like the red ones. I hope you'll give the soup a try. If your husband likes them give it a go!
Another dish that looks delicious ❤
I’m learning g so much by watching your videos! I never knew you could take the strings out of celery 😮. I am definitely going to do that from now on 😊
Oh, I'm pleased my videos are profitable for you. You can thank my late husband for taking the strings off the celery.
Enjoyed this video. 😊
Your daughter is so talented!!! That is beautiful artwork, the frame is gorgeous as well ❤
Great video 😊❤
I never knew you could make deviled eggs in the air fryer 😮… I’m gonna try it right now👏. Thank you for the tip!! I’ve also been making sourdough bread lately. The one I made yesterday has everything bagel seasoning on top and tastes so good ❤
Not deviled eggs in the air fryer. Put the eggs in the air fryer @250 degrees for 18 minutes. When they're done, then you can make the deviled eggs.
😂😂😂. My fingers were thinking deviled eggs when I was typing but my brain was thinking hard boiled eggs… lol. As soon as I watched this video I went and started the eggs in my air fryer. Your egg salad looked delicious so I’m gonna to have that tonight on my sourdough bread.
@@DarlaPhillips92 Let me know how it all turns out. My air fryer is one of those Emeril Lagasse air fryers, a gift from a friend.
It looked delicious!! ❤
It was. I ate on that salad for several days.
Awesome page about your family member that lived to be 100. I’m going to look up some of those movies that she played in. I love watching old movies ❤
I watched a couple of them. They were less than 90 minutes long.
Also from 12 subscribers to 315….. you are doing awesome!!! 👏
Thank you, Darla. Now you're making me blush!
I love your channel ❤. I love hearing your stories! I like drinking tar in the mornings too. lol 😂
Aw, thank you, Darla.
❤
I’m so glad that I found your channel. After watching a few of your videos, I decided I wanted to go back and watch all of them so I’m now starting at the beginning ❤. I love that you did this for your children. My mom has filled out a book kind of like what you said you had done for you daughter that ask you questions about your life and I’ve already got that but I so wish my mom would do a UA-cam channel too. I am 50 and she is 74. I’m going to send her this video and try and talk her into doing one 😊❤. So nice to hear you were a hospice volunteer. I’m a nurse in a nursing home and Hospice is such a wonderful service ❤. The world needs more people like you in it ❤❤
I really enjoyed this video!!! I would love to see you make some of your cornbread and also your greens. I’ve never made greens and would love to see how you do it. Thanks for sharing this ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. For my next grocery haul, I'll buy some greens and cook them with cornbread.
@@helencantimagine yay!!! 😀 👏
Excellent page! You did such a great job 👏 . I also enjoyed learning about the peahen. I always love learning new things 😊 So happy that you joined this challenge ❤
Thank you, Darla!
That looks delicious!!!! I love your dragonfly necklace. I have one that looks similar. ❤
Hey Darla, Thank you for your comment. That was a satisfying and filling supper. It was quick too. Thank you for the comment on the dragonfly necklace. I love the way you bring your projects together. They seem to flow out of you with such ease.
Hi, Helen, Looks like a delicious meal.I love anything with pasta or broccoli. Hope you have a great week.🌝💕💗
Thank you, Donna. It was a filling supper.

Love strawberry shortcake, 🍰 haven’t had in so long ❤❤❤
It's one of my favorite desserts. Thank you, Gen, for stopping by.
Look to see what type of magnesium those are…………. The cheap magnesium is not that great for you
Thank you, @db857, for the advice.
Looks so yummy! All great ingredients! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Gwen!!
Hello! I hope you're doing well, and your family. Hopefully the hurricane didn't worry you much.
Hey Panda, Yes, we're fine. I'm in West Tennessee, 8-9 hours away from all the devastation. Thank you for your concern. We just had some wind and rain. I hope you're doing well, Panda.
Looks delicious, Helen💗💗💗
Thank you, Gen.
Looks delicious! I love broccoli any way it’s served! Happy Thursday! 🥰 ❤
Thank you, Donna. It was a good supper.
