this was useful, thanks!
Spices are ESSENTIAL for budget cooking! I love having a good variety of them
A lot of my things are in pots. I am renting, and I only have a small space. I don't let that stop me.
Thank you for sharing that. Hopefully it will inspire others to do the same.
I can taste those veggies and fruits! We use pots exclusively now due to varmints and bad knees. We have a yellow harvest apple tree, rhubarb and black and red raspberries. Containers grow chives, onions, spinach, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and probably a couple other things my husband is trying for fun. Happy gardening.
Thanks for sharing. We realized that it is much easier to garden with boxes as well. What are some of your favorite ways to use your rhubarb?
I do that too.
Thanks for your comment. Please feel free to share other things you do that work well for you.
Great ideas.
Good tips. Her speaking voice is kind of slow paced and sing-song. I found myself nodding off to sleep 😴
Hope you had a good sleep!
I shopped my freezers and pantries for food to cook. Wasn’t any loss leaders this week I wanted. I shop only loss leaders and add them to what I have on hand. We are eating well and and simple.
That's pretty much it use up what we have in our freezer first
The house does not look sparse to me. It looks smart and uncluttered. I would feel very comfortable there. I do wonder though about all those canned goods. Is it stock for a food pantry?
Thanks for your positive feedback. I try to keep at least 3 months of food around. It is nice because I can usually pay the price I want and it is there if there weather is bad or I don't want to go to the store. If I want to use my grocery money for sales or something special like a spiral ham or a turkey, I have enough food to get us through the week on hand, so I can do that. It sure was wonderful to have when Covid hit and I didn't have to worry about going to the store and fighting the crowds.
Wise advice!
Thank you. Have a nice day!
When you said, "What's ALLOWED in my home," I was really struck. I have been taking my collection of vintage stuff to the Habitat for Humanity thrift shop and feel good about it. Stuff I bought inexpensively back in the '90's. So I guess I "rented" it for a while. Benefits both me and Habitat.
Good for you for finding a good place to donate your things. Keep up the good work!
7 y ago i came back to live with my widowed mum in the big home, with my hubby and child. The process to get rid of my father's tools and stuff (metal stuff, car parts and so on) was already ongoing outside the house. But my mum kept lots and lots of old stuff in the house. Her words always was "you can change what you want when i'll be dead'. But i was very overwelmed. now my mom is 87, weelchair and incapable. I decided to not wait any longher. I'm almost 50 now, if i wait i will not have the energy to do the death cleaning! the life was already full. So, deathcleaning it is.
Wish you the best of luck. I think that attitude if very common with parents since it can be difficult to go through your own things. Good for you for tackling it now and not waiting until later. You can both enjoy a peaceful home and she will be able to get around easier in a wheelchair with less stuff in the home. Thanks for sharing.
Made in Mexico. They should just keep them there! What a RIP OFF!!!
Hello. I saw your youtube channel. Your video is much less. And I see that your video is not SEO relatively optimized. Video views will not increase for this.

There is a 45.1% vidIQ SEO score of your video, there is no better result view/ like / comment on the video, Don't have a Performance video tag. No SEO relative channel tag .Title Not Good.

Thank you for your opinion. I appreciate your suggestions. Have a nice day.

I just bought a box of graham crackers for a recipe of Nanaimo bars. When I open the box, I was stunned to find the cracker packages don’t fill the box anymore, there are less crackers per sleeve, and the crackers are smaller! So disappointed.
You are right... yeast dough definitely has a learning curve.
Sounds like you have some experience in this area!
I also do batch cooking. It saves me time and if I freeze some of it for later, I can have a nice variety for when I want a quick meal.
That is a great tip to share. That way you don't have to eat the same thing for several days in a row.
Enjoy your company.
Thank you so much. I appreciate all the kind comments that you share.
Great advice(s)😊 thank you.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a nice day.
Thank you for the helpful tips😊
You are very welcome. Please feel free to share some of your own as well. Have a great day.
Enjoy your visit!
Thank you! Have a wonderful day, and thanks for listening.
Yes! Decluttering is key.
Isn't it amazing how decluttering can help your home to be more organized, your finances to be in better shape by not buying a lot of extra things, and if we were all more thoughtful about what we purchase, the earth wouldn't have so much trash.
Perfect. Informative and to the point. Thank you so much for sharing!
You are welcome. Thanks for commenting. Have a nice day.
I just saw this and noticed in a box of graham crackers I purchased yesterday
I made them at Christmas. I also did some with almond butter, since I had some.
Great idea to use what you have.
I have found when substituting cottage cheese for ricotta, if i freeze, thaw and stir thoroughly beforehand, it has a consistency much more like ricotta for a fraction of the price.
Thanks for sharing.
THANK YOU
You are very welcome! Have a wonderful day.
This is the inspiration I needed. I don't like my recipe system and I can't find the recipe I want to make. Plus my recipe papers get food on them. I'm going to get a binder and sleeves and make a recipe book. Thank you!!
You are welcome! Thank you for your kind comment.

I think i was born frugal. It comes naturally 😊
That will surely bless your life in the long run. Many people really struggle to be frugal. I think it comes down to just being grateful for what you have. When you focus on that and are satisfied with your life, it is easier to avoid the tendency to keep up with the Joneses.
Thank you for the review. I just bought this same set. Also, for what it's worth, Cuisinart has a 12 quart MultiClad Pro pot. Item number: MCP66-28N or MCP66-28NP1 (not sure of the variation in numbers, but visually it looks to be the same pot). NP1 is on their site.
Are you happy with the set as well? I would love to hear your opinion.
@@spendwisemoms My set came in yesterday, so I will need a few weeks to develop a solid opinion. However, from an initial quality (and eye test) perspective, it looks to be extremely sturdy and high quality. I will definitely follow up once I've used a few pots and pans from the set.
You always have such great hauls with your markdown produce. I would love to be able to get those, but the store near me rarely does markdowns.
I hope there are other ways you can save since that isn't an option in your area. It is nice that there are so many ways to choose from and we can pick the ones that work for us.
There are. Lol. I have found the best way is to just stay home! Fewer impulse purchases, unless I get online. Usually when I get online I am looking for something in particular, so not to tempting.
Great comment. Thannks!
Very good advice. I have weighed my packaged set price or each produce for years because of this. I bought 1lb strawberries the other day and ended up with 1/4 lb extra. Made a good sale price even better
Thanks for you comment. I love to hear about the experiences of others.
i think they get smaller every few months
I totally agree with you! I just got some Rice Krispie treats from Costco and they are much smaller than they were just a few months ago and the price is the same.
Good job
Thanks. I appreciate you watching! Have a nice day.
You are right. You do have to develop a feel for making bread, but it is very easy.
I noticed their family pack has 3 packs of crackers in it now and it used to have six. I’m so annoyed that I’m switching brands.
Than u none of my eggs were fresh😢
Sorry to hear that! At least you know. Thanks for commenting.
I just noticed today that the "Family Size" box that I just purchased last week has only 4 packs of crackers in it now, when the "Family Size" that I purchased a couple weeks ago had 6 packs of crackers as all the ones I purchased previously had 6. Did the average family shrink?
I have been to lots of these presentations. I can say no to them, so it was always about what they were going to give me for my time.
Good for you! That is something that is hard for many people.
If you have the determination to make it through without caving in, you can get some benefit. Thanks for your comment.
ugh
Thanks for the reminder. I needed it.
Good job
All great ideas. Our family also does a Christmas brunch. Ours is always ham and waffles. Also very budget friendly.
Waffles are a great breakfast along with ham. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!
Very smart, great job! I’m also trying to never waste food. I label and freeze a lot.
Wasted food is wasted money. Please feel free to share you good ideas in the comments so we can all benefit from them!
@@spendwisemoms That’s mainly it, I just freeze what I don’t eat and don’t buy frivolous or impulse buys. 😊
Totally do the same, great video! New subscriber here, best of luck. ❤
Great minds think alike. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for subscribing. Have a great day!
I love your content watch every video and always learn something new
Thank you so much. That is very kind of you.
I agree. Just went to store to buy a box for a graham cracker crumb crust. I was startled when I opened the box and knew something was "off." I have been buying these for years and know exactly how many for my crust. Now, I have to actually measure the crumbs after crushing them rather than just going by the sleeve. They think they are fooling us but they aren't. I'm mad!!! I'll just go with the store brand next time because, as you said, they don't taste as good as they used to, either.
Thanks for your comment. I have started buying some more store brands than I did in the past. Sometimes they are good and sometimes they aren't, but you always have a guarantee and can take them back if you don't like them. Hard to pass that up.
Would you mind sharing your banana recipe with icing please?
Yes, happy to. I will say that it was decent but isn't the best banana cake I have ever had. I didn't keep the recipe. The link is here: sallysbakingaddiction.com/best-banana-cake/
