Do I make budget meals, part 2.
WOW....
How do people do the math ALL the time when you have consider the cost of an ingredient. All I can say is kudos to you if you have to factor that in to EVERY SINGLE MEAL.
It was fun thats for sure, and totally surprising. Fred was shocked when I showed him the math too.
There are no recipes in here, just the food I usually make and the breakdown of what the final price was.
I just might have to do this again, maybe my breakfasts next time. :o)
p.s. It is the morning I am posting this, I am much more awake now.

Do I make Budget Meals?
Переглядів 2027 годин тому
With what I spend on food and how I cook, I was curious, do I really make budget meals? I decided to do the math, and it was surprising too. This is in two parts, and next part should be out on Saturday, if I edit fast enough, haha.

An Almost Garden Tour
Переглядів 124День тому
Definition, Haphazard: lacking any obvious principle of organization. Does that not sum up my garden? haha I know, I am not the prettiest gardener, I am more substance than style, seriously, look at my. hair, :o) But it is giving me what I want and our storage methods are getting better every year. Do you think I could talk Fred into building a walk in cellar outside? Just a thought........... ...
1st Sept Shop, and almost in budget, wow.

Time to get that first shop of Sept done and get some more good food in the house to add to the inventory. This time I hope it lasts and I don't run out, totally annoying when you run out of something.

Inventory Time, and a bit more
Переглядів 7814 днів тому
It is a time for a winter prep inventory, well, some of it anyway. I can't believe that the month of August went so fast and that Sept is already upon us. There is so much tasty goodness already in jars and I haven't even touch the freezers yet and told you what we have stored there for inventory, wow. Here is that fabulous stewed tomato recipe from Bernardin, give it a try if you want some tas...
Little Birthday Road Trip
Переглядів 14121 день тому
So we decided to take the day off from the house and did a road trip to Ikea. A day off the Island for my birthday. We don't do much, we are not the go out and party kind of people which suits us fine. We chat, look at interesting things, and giggle over foolish conversations. Of course I also get to watch Fred roll his eyes at me when I start to get tired and even sillier than normal, haha. My...

Shopping with Fred

Sometimes he comes with me, it is rare but when he does we tend to wander more, chat more and basically get a little silly.

I think you did absolutely awesome!!!! Love your videos!
Great budget meals! I think these would be great for a family feeding hungry kids to stretch their grocery dollars. I'm at that stage of life where I have to limit carbs to fight a pre-diabetes diagnosis, so most of our meals are meat and vegetables. Also, just wondering where you got your spoon rest?
the spoon rest came from Showcase in the mall in Charlottetown, not sure if they have them back yet but I have to admit that I like this one better that others. I am diabetic too so understand the lower carb, I just wish I had the willpower, love my potatoes. :)
I loved your budget meals. I think that we make budget meals and don’t realize it (because of budget shopping). A few times, your video reminded of me and made me laugh. “This is day 3, no day 5. I don’t know “. I have a hard time with days and dates. Have a super day!
yeah, days of the weeks do tend to run into each other.
Can’t wait to see your menu items. What fun!
Fun project and I cant wait to see the next part 😊
Here's to a good days work. Sleep well 😉🌺🧡💚🌺💚🧡🌺😊
Looking forward to how this works out--awesome I bet.!
I've been freezing tomatoes too. In the winter, when I'm not working, I will process them into sauce. It's so nice to pull off the shelf in the winter. Your garden is prolific! I'm almost cucumbered out too, every day I eat two for lunch. Have a great week Tammy.
Looks great! I dehydrated sage today and picked a huge basket of tomatoes also. Canning sauce tomorrow in Petawawa, Ontario.
Hi, I am a new subscriber. I am Kerri from Australia 🇦🇺 Wow you have lots of tomatoes. I look forward to watching your videos ❤
So much fun watching you harvest all of the wonderful things from your garden. Reminds me of years gone by when I did the same. Such a bountiful blessing to have all winter long 🌺🌻🌺🌻🌺🌻🌺
Great video Tammy! I made a batch of sweet chili sauce with my cherry tomatoes and it turned out SO delicious! I was a bit worried about the toughness of the skins so I whizzed it a bit with the imersion bleander and it's great! My hubby was thrilled cuz that's one of his favourites him Mom used to make. Today I'm just doing a few jars of chopped tomatoes and freezing some cockerals we processed yesterday. Always things to put away this time of year!
Oh, my goodness look at all those tomatoes and cucumbers you have grown. You and your husband are ready for the winter with all you've grown. I love watching your channel. What a fabulous garden you
Good morning! I love the small tomatoes. You got a beautiful amount of produce. My small garden didn’t do well (but I don’t have that beautiful PEI red mud. lol). I was able to purchase produce for a very low price so I’m happy. Have a super day!
Have you been busy ❤❤
Your poor barn Twiggs! :( I want your garden!
it is slowly coming down, might rebuild it, gotta love hurricanes,
I planted what I thought were Acorn squash. They turned out to be Celebration variety. They were prolific! But I still prefer just the green skinned variety for taste. Love your cantaloupe, wow, I may need to try to grow those next year.
Celebration are good, but I do like the acorns better too
I always take a photo of my shopping list with my phone just in case I forget the list and that has saved me many times. That frozen pizza you were looking at sounds so yummy!!
Good job on the wood splitting.
Hi from Moncton on this rainy day. We needed rain. Love watching your videos. Have a super evening
great deals! Love watching your videos as another PE Islander!
We bought Tattler reusable lids about 5 years ago. A big initial expense, but we love them.
Been thinking of those myself, glad you love them. :)
You need to follow Logan who is a Canadian young man who is now pretty famous for his “sometimes you just need to eat an entire cucumber “ videos! You might get some inspiration!
I will take a look
As a mom who feeds 7 people a day, breakfast, packed lunches, snacks and dinner, you would have a heart attack if you saw my grocery bill!! I love all the deals you have found. I’m also a deal shopper when I have the time :)
I put all my garlic in the freezer this year. I put it in the food processor, then dropped it on a cookie sheet in one or two teaspoon clumps and froze. Then threw them all in ziploc for the winter. Then I can just take one or two out for a recipe, and no chopping!
Busiest time of the year. You have a gracious plenty in your pantry and youve worked so hard to make it happen. Great job!!! 🌺🧡💚🌺💚🧡🌺
That’s awesome Tammy. More inventory you have the more you can share at that kitchen you mentioned.
You’ve done a lot of work! I had a good cucumber year too. I shredded and drained a bunch to freeze blocks for tzatziki. When I want to use it I thaw it and mix it with Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice and dill weed. It’s delicious. I also saved the juice from the cucumbers to make ice cubes, one cube in some water with some stevia makes a really nice drink on a hot day!
What a great idea!
now I never thought of that, GREAT idea.
I was excited to see Lady Ashburnham pickles. I make those every year. They’re definitely Maritime pickles. Great job canning and splitting wood. Have a great day!
Looking awesome!!!!!
Wow! You really do have a lot of cucumbers and tomatoes. You will be well stocked for winter. It really does save you and you husband plenty of money growing some of your own food. What an amazing job you are doing.
Yes, it is comfort food. Looks delicious.
11:26 Looks like the Flintstones house 🤭😊
it does doesn't it, HAHA
Happy Birthday! I would say have a great day but you already did. Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoyed it.
We had a fun do nothing day, totally worth it
Looks like a great trip! Wonderful weather for traveling. We are planning a trip to Costco next month- Moncton here we come!
Debating on renewing the card, hard decision
So you have to go to Nova Scotia for Ikea ! ?
We do, have to cross the bridge for Costco too
Looks delicious ❤
Great deal on the quilt! I'm a hand-quilter myself, so I know how much time goes into making a quilt like that.
It really is!, I would love to repair the one I have, will have to start learning :)
Thanks for taking us along on your shopping trip! I got tomatoes at the Superstore, too. I made tomato sauce. Have a great Thursday!
It's late now, so I hope you have a fabulous day tomorrow! Everything looks great, I especially love the quilt, awesome buy!!!
You found lots of good deals - great job 🌹💚🌹💚🌹
Yay it's Tammy Day at Kool Breeze! Another good breakfast place in the area is the Seashell Cafe on Route 2 between Kensington and Summerside. It used to be Tops To Floors. Check it out.
Always enjoy shopping with you. It was nice having Fred come along too 😊
another great video!
Love your shopping trips ... you are like me ..I hit the bargain carts always😂😅
these remind me of nine day pickles!
wow, yummy looking!!!
Thank you 😋
:) Great Job Twiggs!
Thanks! 😄
The pickles look yummy!
Ive never heard of these before but I wonder if they are like the Sweet Memories pickles my mom would buy at the store every once in a while when I was growing up. They were that bright green color and very very sweet. That brings back great memories. Its been fun watching your canning videos 😊🌺💚🌺💚🌺💚🌺😊
These are really sweet with a tangy kick and glad they brought great memories. :)
