I'm a new viewer, 70 years old, and survive on my late husband's pension and social security. I'm doing fine. No debt and I own my home. My Momma made delicious pancakes. She would serve them with homemade maple-flavored simple syrup. She also made homemade chocolate syrup for the times she served ice cream. When I moved out alone, I was surprised you could buy those in the grocery store. Momma cooked three meals daily, seven days a week, all from scratch. She worked 3rd shift at the hospital. We had one car for the family. She sewed our clothes, upholstered the furniture, and made curtains and drapes. Love you girls!!
I probably could not live on $45.00 a month because I eat meat mostly and have a dog to feed also. I also help cook for the church every Sunday and I probably spend more on that than for myself. I don’t use breadcrumbs or very much bread at all. I try to stay away from all carbs. I have made home made pizza , but I don’t eat it very often. I do get a frozen pizza every now and then if I find a good bargain. I found out that I feel better if I stay on a carnivore diet and cut out all sugars and grains. I grew up on pinto beans and boiled potatoes with oatmeal for breakfast so I know how to eat frugally but now I am overweight and have sore joints which quit hurting when I get off of sugar and grains.
Hi from Okinawa Japan! I’ve been following you for years and loved all of the changes, every time, because the tips helped in every area of life. I started to follow because of your tips on how to clean and organize. And now, I Love the current shopping audits! I get motivated to look for more loss leaders in Japan and also wait for clearance items. We are retired, so have become very frugal. And because of being frugal, we have extra funds to be generous to those in need.
Exactly food has become a God to alot of people nowadays. If they worried more about there salvation and relationship with Jesus and were they will spend eternity. Just eating normal portion control and eating balanced diet in the long run and getting more exercise weather it's simpel walking or just movement.
People who worry so much about food are really control freaks. Yes, some people have to watch what you eat but people have become rude .I would never tell someone to make something special for me.If my diet is that narrow, I'd bring my own food and invite everyone to have some. Or I'd offer to make and bring food for everyone.
My husband's grandmother lived until 103. She loved bologna sandwiches, plain chips & koolaid. She ate this everyday for lunch. She always told me everything in moderation and not to be lazy! 😆 I love these sit down talks. Thank you so much for all you put into them. 😊
That was my Great-Aunt Clara, who lived to 108 (with all of her mental faculties intact). Her motto was: “Moderation in all things. And? No overeating. Also, I never sit down for long.” ❤😇
I found that diabetic comment and conversation so fascinating. I'm a diabetic type 2 I was on exclusively low-carb diet for years and it worked okay but I couldn't lose weight and I was having major problems with my diabetes. I switched to portion control only there is nothing I can't eat. Following this, my A1C went from 7 to 6.1 in a year. That's not even considered diabetic anymore. I feel better I look better and I dropped 43 lb in a year . I shouldn't to this that I wear glucose meter so I monitor my blood sugar at all times which is extremely important
I bought an older house that needed work so I got it for a bargain price. I also drive older cars. There is a food truck that comes every month that I go help unload and put the food up and in bags to give out so I usually get a few freebies from there. My house is paid for and I live in a small community and have a septic system and water well so don’t have a lot of expenses.
Those people are not wrong Tawra…. But the truth is that not everyone is looking to live a plant-based lifestyle and that is okay. Not everyone will agree with you guys either and that is okay. Thank you for helping people with ideas on how to eat on a budget.
Love the new format 👍 but I must say, I would tune in even if you and your mom were standing on your heads in a corner. Love Your family relationships. Love Mike too. Well done& always helpful
I’ve got to say, for those of you who are willing to start using a sourdough starter that it has completely changed my life! So many quick, delicious, gut friendly recipes that you can make with just flour and water. My mind was blown. Has saved our family of 8 so much money on bread items!
@@kelliered4530 You can make your own sourdough starter and find recipes from Farmhouseonboone, little spoon farm, King Arthur flour or clever carrot blog. I’d start out making pancakes and English muffins for your first recipes.
Americans in general, myself included, eat too much, which makes us fat, which makes us have high cholesterol, high blood pressure & diabetic. It’s that simple! Most people that keep their weight down will be healthier.
Thanks for the fun video format. I also like how you mix it up with having a guest on versus Jill and Tawra versus Tawra and Mike. It just makes it fun to see all your personalities in addition to the information.
I think she’s not only got a FANTASTIC LIST, but also that she’s doing AMAZING!!! I will say, that having a list of ideas/fave meals/meals in rotation HELPS ME IMMENSELY!!! BRAIN FOG IS REAL Y’ALL!!! It truly does help having that list in a VERY handy spot & you’d be surprised how often these days I feel as if I have too many meals in rotation or leftovers b/c we get given food or whatever. Lately only 1-2 weeks are there really GREAT deals in rotation on the sales, but rarely are they ever THAT good!!! I mean, they’re good, just not THAT FANTASTIC OF A DEAL!!!
I've eat the same thing on a regular basis, for example peanut butter and banana for lunch every day helps me keep my weight down and I don't have to think about it.
I really liked this episode, its nice to see how others are keeping their grocery bill so low, we started making french bread pizza because my family hasnt been a fan of our homemade dough and i can get the french bread on clearence racks for $1.25 a loaf at walmart
You can do alot with very little. 5lb bag of potatoes and bananas are very reasonably priced. Eat in season. Watermelon 🍉 is still around and goes very far. Eat in season. Apple season is coming up along with pumpkins and squashes. 🌻 love the mom and daughter team
You go Twara let loose!!!!! My husband when he was younger lived off beans and rice because he didn't have that much money. Good for my hubby. God I love my husband. We both come from frugal families. We're both saving for a house, and he already has money for a used car 2024. Love ya guys.......
I am wondering what you think about foods that contain bioengineered food ingredients (gmos). I haven't read food labels in awhile but recently noticed almost all processed fooods have this on the label.
When you mentioned about the woodpulp in cheese.l worked in a cheese factory and the wood is used in making the imitation cheese.its real fine and is fine like sifted flour.l was told by my boss that it helps to bind the cheese together when it is poured and mixed together the other ingredients they used.l worked testing the core of the cheese to make sure it was a certain thickness consistency and if it was solid or to crumbly.and l also packaged it.The amount of wood powder is a very tiny sparse amount in the cheese when you eat a slice.l left that job later cause,l was waiting to get a nursing job at that time,as thats what l went to college for and did before the cheese job.l had to quit the nursing job before l took the cheese factory job cause l had moved far away from my nursing job.sending my love and hugs to you and your family and mother.❤️
Back in the 1800's and 1930's they would dig up dandelion root roast it then grind it up boil in water as a substitution for coffee when they couldn't afford coffee
We have always made our own pancake syrup with either white sugar or brown sugar and maple flavoring. We also got sorghum syrup some times; often the kind that was for cow feed.
Sorghum is so delicious, we have just recently Rediscovered it. My dad gave me a huge half gallon of it maybe 25 or more years ago. I kept it, but just opened it. It was perfectly good in every way. We used it on biscuits, making baked goods, on ice cream etc. Give it a try friends.
This woman wins whatever contest we have going I mean you have tawra stumped lol all u vegans need to follow this women tawra u might need to do a vegan cookbook collab with her😊
I Thank both of you for telling the truth as Canadian on disability I see so many people who don’t want to be a countable for their own decisions, I Know that I made some mistakes on how to to pay for medical bills and work on getting out of debt due to lack of understanding. I have a full kitchen cupboards with buying groceries only on sale, I have and possibly of trading volunteer time with a local food bank for vegetables that they have a over abundance of and might not get used in time. I live with a roommate and we share the cost of groceries for the 2 of us to eat cost $160.00 a month. We drink mostly water We don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol, don’t play lottery , and we don’t eat out often and we don’t buy pop, We live very full lives with many simple pleasures. We love watching a movie and eating popcorn, we enjoy taking a picnic to the park, we carry refill able water bottles most places. It all comes down to your mind set and if you’re willing to do the work.
One of the comments I get a lot is “Must be nice!”. This is told me because I have my house and an investment vacation rental property paid off. I paid cash for my used car. I buy most of my clothes at thrift stores, I don’t eat in restaurants often, I do my own nails, I go to the library for my entertainment, etc. I lived frugally so I could be debt free and save for my retirement. Now I’m 70 years old and I’m living very comfortably on less than most people earn. So they need to stop telling me I’m lucky! If they don’t want to do the work; I’m with you, I don’t have any sympathy for them!
I cooked one dinner. If nobody wanted it they went to bed hungry. I keep 10 boxes of cereal for my son who was growing and ate a box in one sitting but I never paid over a dollar a box. I used coupons back then and could get them. Your advice is right 👍. 💯 percent 😂. Best advice I've seen in year's. Thanks for spreading it 🤠😁. Plus you have a great Mom 😁. Mine was a shopalact. I learned how to do right with money by listening to my Dad and watching what our Mom did. I learned from her mistakes .
I make my own bread crumbs.l also do my own pizza most of the time.lm on a very low budget like your mother and lm 66 yrs.old ,retired,disabled.l have to do everything on my own ,as l plan for myself and my kitty cats.l like this new idea for your videos.l have all your cookbooks and love them.l shop the weekly sale flyers and stock up with the really good deals.l make my own bread and use a bread machine sometimes,depends on the kind at the time.
I call it, knickers in a knot. lol I love my good old fashioned cast iron frying pans, and the odd other cast iron utensil. I like the taste of the food better when it's cooked in cast iron items.
So many great one-liners in this one… my fave… mom saying, “wood pulp is plant based.” *SNORTING* 💀 And all the “healthy food influencers” on Instagram clutched their pearls.
I just bought hibiscus tea a few months ago. Not crazy about fruity tea but still drink it because so many amazing health benefits. They say to limit only 2-3 cups a day.
I am 79 years old and am still laying bricks and pouring concrete, running a chainsaw and log splitter and a push mower. I have been pulling the plastic siding off of my house so I can plaster it. Still building storage sheds, rooms on my house and new porches.
@@juliafayeconner594 there is truth to that BUT there is also common sense where people have to soar in their God given talents and gifts. The truth is i have never been physically strong so at 53 if i picked up a chainsaw i might accidentally cut off my face, but i can soar in other areas where others don’t thrive. We can each thrive in our own ways, but that doesn’t discount the individual impressiveness of each person. What you do especially as a woman is highly impressive. I would be impressed if a man your age was doing that but a woman is really impressive. I feel happy reading your comment knowing you not only can but still do all these things!
One day, I am going to think of a friend that lives in the USA, then get your cook books, because in all honesty, I have problems thinking of quick recipes, when I don't have time. Next year I am going to buy a frost free upright deep freeze. I have a chest freezer that is deep and broke one of my ribs last winter, reaching for things on the bottom. Also to put my pre-cooked frozen meals, so I know what I have. Because sometimes I have lots of time to pre=cook meals and freeze them. But I don't do it, when anyone is in the house, because they distract me too much.
A couple videos back you showed the sale ice cycles for 1 dollar at Walmart . I went to the 2 different Walmarts in my area and they were advertising them as on sale for 3 at one and 3.33 at the other! Crazy ! I really never thought the prices would vary that much around the country😳🤷🏻♀loving the new videos .keep up the good work I’m very frugal ( only way to survive California ) but I’m even learning
If you have the energy to put into making most of your food...Im gluten free, lactose free...I love that easy recipes are being posted...I like most foods though so I can take advantage of sales..
It would help me to have a shopping list of some sort. I realize that she is buying bargains but I don't know that I can get the same kind of deals in my area.
I remember my daughter feeling sorry for an homeless guy sat outside a bakery, she went in and bought him some sausage rolls, she gave them to him, only to be told sorry I can’t eat that, I’m a vegetarian! You couldn’t make it up could you? Everything in moderation. If people would rather eat the cardboard box than what’s inside it, well go on, knock yourself out, but stop being food snobs and looking down your nose at other people. Tawra you crease me up, you must have Yorkshire blood in you, because you tell it how it is, like we do! Love your show, thank you for all the good advice you give, it is much appreciated, God bless!
I've made the Self raising flour Pizza, & even though I've not tried to freeze the dough, I was told that you can't, & should use it straight away, as the raising agent in the Flour will loose it's Proof/raising abilities if it's Frozen. As I said, not tried it myself.
What I saw in that video that said the cafe are the vanilla et cetera was not real was that don't pay top dollar for imitation. When you go to the grocery store and find a cheap container of Olive oil it likely is not Real Olive oil.
One day I went out to eat with several of my cousins both are vegetarian. My male cousin ordered fried cheese sticks. I asked him why he didn't eat meat. He said because it was not healthy. I said, in a nice way, "so how healthy are those breaded fried cheese sticks? "My female cousin said she just doesn't like the taste of meat.
I do find it hard to keep track of prices. One thing I did was buy a small book for telephone numbers and put milk under. M and so forth. There is plenty of room for different stores to be listed. Strangely our convenience store had the cheapest milk. It me and shopping at more than one store, but at the time I was feeding 4 and it was worth it to stay on budget. As far as bread crumbs are concerned, try this. Save a cereal bag, they are strong. I dry old bread and crush, also add non sweetened cereal crumbs to bag. As I fill I clip closed. I use for topping on Mac a d cheese and meat loaf.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I live on social security too and I buy whatever I want to eat. I don’t smoke, drink or buy sodas or junk food so I can save money. I also don’t take any medication or go to doctors so I save all that money too. 😂😂
I agree with your general sentiments, but I will say I was one of the six point whatever million viewers that watched that video and I did not believe everything it said from the beginning and/or knew the truth ahead of time. My husband was kind of confused about some of the stuff. He was the one that had brought the video to my attention so then I watched it with him and explained how they’re over reacting about everything and it’s no big deal
Ans. to voting: I don't think I can do $45 a month (but if I tried maybe), but I don't think she's crazy. She can do it. I make my own bread crumbs but not all the time. LOL! I made homemade pizza tonight for dinner. Bacon leftover from last night, homemade sauce, super cheap! I love these videos. Thank you! Jill, perfect way to put it, "Food is not my god." I can eat simple, I don't need "all the stuff". I could eat rice every meal. Rice and bacon grease, rice and peas, rice with chicken broth... all with salt and pepper of course. But yes, food is what we eat to stay healthy. Love this video! Tawra, people are so ignorant in so many ways. Best way to put it.
Joe hollis lived and worked off the land and looked like a man who worked outside in the sun and labors intensively daily. He is also not a vegan as in his video he was raising ducks for sure which i imagine he eats eggs and or the duck itself. When your skin rarely sees sun it does not age as fast as one who works outside. I am from Arizona and most people are carnivores yet age quite rapidly and have dry wrinkly skin alot sooner than the people i have met from colder climates that stay inside more frequently due to inclimental weather. There are many factors contributing to skin health as well as general health. I give many props to this man who is living minimalistically as well as off the land it does not get more frugal than this gentleman who built it by hand. Hard working outdoors people do age faster.. vegans do not eat eggs Vegetarians eat eggs, there are many varieties of “vegetarians”😂 Good looking loaf of bread
Awww man, I just bought a bottle of syrup when mine ran out. Bought the least expensive one, but now, I'm going to save my bottle when its empty and try to make my own.
Well if you needed fire starter, use the vanilla with wood in it. lol The coffee my husband would have to be careful with, as he has celiac's and the wheat etc. in there would not be good. Do you know which coffee's have that in them??????
We grow some good vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, lettuce. Homemade tomato products such as pizza sauce, pasta sauce, tomato soup. I also make my own soup from homemade broth. My own yogurt, other things as well.
Our spice prices start around 2.98 in Alberta Canada, so I go and buy mine at the Health food stores, they have everything in bins, etc. Much cheaper. I buy enough that I can fill the spice jars, and store a jar full, to use out of. They don't sell PREGO Sauce, in Canada anymore. We liked that. But have found a cheap, good replacement. Am stocking up on that. Because I know it will go up. If I can afford it, I always buy 2 of things I am out of. One to use, one to stockpile. Only when on sale.
Homemade pizza for us or sale store bought frozen. Tawra about the frig and food spoiling I can relate !!!! We had a whirlpool and I finally had to freeze old water bottles and rotate them in and out of the frig daily to prevent food from spoiling . I had called repair men and they said the freezer was getting to cold and frig not cold enough but didn’t know how to fix it 😩so I gave up and solved problem myself. After years of doing this and moving to a different house I decided to buy another at a dent reject warehouse this time I bought Samsung . Well some problem 😡😩😳I can’t believe it !!!! I now just face reality and think of the newer refrigerators as ice boxes not refrigerators 🤷🏻♀
Years ago I had a lady asking me for food. She didn't have anything to cook for her stroke surviving father. I took her kidney beans and rice. "Oh, I have that. It's meat I don't have" was her response. I'm delivering the food, that my husband and I eat, to a an ungrateful person who didn't even say sorry we don't eat that. I refused to take her anything for years. My husband had me take them something. Now she gives me the things she won't eat from food bank. My preps are filled with lentils and split peas I've gotten from her.
Yes, you can eat that way, if you don't eat any meat. I did notice though that she uses ingredients from the grocery store that are not "weird" for vegetarian/vegan. I keep lists of meals, and I keep them by season. I also keep a separate list of meatless meals that I swap in. Vegetable stir fry and vegetable fried rice are both on that list and it's easy to throw in any vegies that are left over Right now it's getting time to eat a lot of cooked cabbage, plus potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash and carrots, which I don't see on her list. I also didn't see any oils. I have more processed foods than I care to admit. I eat liverwurst (a couple of rolls a year), bologna (terrible, I know), frozen Tyson Chicken Crispy Strips, frozen breaded chicken breast for "chic-fil-a" type sandwiches. I would be so angry. If you are attacked like this so often, I need to double down in praying for you. I am a single senior, and prepared as best I could, being prudent, etc., some of it worked, but some didn't. I learned the principles though of what you are attempting to teach others. I don't think I am just surviving, I feel I am thriving. I am where God wants me to be. I am having laughing fits relative to "fake" food. Lack of knowledge is so outrageous. I make my vanilla. I can taste the difference. Have always been able to. It is a lot more expensive, but that's a personal choice. You all make me laugh!
We as Americans do not know what it feels like to be hungry for your meals. When I was a kid, we went outside to play then would come home and have lunch. We didn't constantly have a drink with us, and our parents didn't make us take snacks with us. At supper time you were hungry and ate what was in front of you. We had a snack before bed and that was it. All kids and adults do today is eat and drink way to much all the time.
Oh my gosh, I may have swallowed gum once or twice this is so funny… now I know why I had to have that target colonoscopy dog gone it I need to buy more gum
I love hearing Miss Jill talk about the ant and the grasshopper. The problem is, we have an entire generation of people that were told a different version. When I was in my intership in college (elementary education), the story of the ant and the grasshopper in the textbooks ended with the grasshopper being allowed to come into the anthill. The lesson is completely lost. Same with the Little Red Hen. The hen "forgives" her friends and shares with the lazy moochers. 😡 (I homeschool my kids and taught them the real stories.)
The food banks in my area don't hardly give a single person anything (like 5 items) I am still having to buy food & will probably stop going to the food banks. So i disagree with you about them helping alot of people. I'm a very responsible person but because I don't make enough where I'll work out and I've got my average bills I still have to supplement and try to figure out how I'm going to eat. And I am anemic and have to have certain foods.
does anyone know if the gluten free dairy free cookbook is good for only gluten free? My daughter is gluten free but can eat and loves dairy didnt know if you can just swap dairy of your choice thank you
My mother’s friend lives on $25/month grocery budget in America, but she is a little old lady who lives alone, has a garden, and doesn’t require as much food as a young active person. I live in Japan with a family to feed so there’s no way I could live on $50/person/month unless we just ate rice and water. We could live on it but my kids would not enjoy meals or life eating like that. Milk alone is $14/week if i buy the cheapest milk for every day consumption, and the milk prices keep rising here. If we have meat every day the cheapest i can get would be $5/day/meal for the family. The cheapest fruit is bananas which are $1 for 3-4 bananas if it’s 3 someone doesn’t get one and these are the small bananas. Larger bananas cost 2-3 times as much. I buy seasonal vegetables but the prices of them continue to rise. Then there are the smaller items like soy sauce, miso, tofu, tsuyu, tea, etc. that are essential for Japanese cooking. If the family wants snacks that’s another expense even cheap snacks so it all adds up to way more than $50. I think we spend very reasonably based on where we live but food is a big expense.
I always use popcorn as a snack for my kids and their friends. It’s cheap, filling and i have never had a kid that didn’t like it. And yes, i pop it myself.

I bought an older house that needed work so I got it for a bargain price. I also drive older cars. There is a food truck that comes every month that I go help unload and put the food up and in bags to give out so I usually get a few freebies from there. My house is paid for and I live in a small community and have a septic system and water well so don’t have a lot of expenses.

There are people that don't do what they do to be seen. They quietly go about their work and have no need for everyone to know it. You tell em Tawra.

Where did you get your starter ? 😊
This young lady seems to be doing it right.🎉 It takes work. That’s what keeps others from being so successful - the work.
Boy your right on target for the nutritional food facts. Thank you. Keep up with the great work you're doing.
Americans in general, myself included, eat too much, which makes us fat, which makes us have high cholesterol, high blood pressure & diabetic. It’s that simple! Most people that keep their weight down will be healthier.

Loved this show. Going to reduce my weight and grocery shopping after this xx
I love the way the two of you laugh and have fun, on here Tawra and Jill. You are a hoot, so glad your back.
You can do alot with very little. 5lb bag of potatoes and bananas are very reasonably priced. Eat in season. Watermelon 🍉 is still around and goes very far. Eat in season. Apple season is coming up along with pumpkins and squashes. 🌻 love the mom and daughter team
You go Twara let loose!!!!! My husband when he was younger lived off beans and rice because he didn't have that much money. Good for my hubby. God I love my husband. We both come from frugal families. We're both saving for a house, and he already has money for a used car 2024. Love ya guys.......
I think these people that think Jill is starving don’t realize we as Americans really over eat. I for one do it and wish I ate like Jill.
Someone once said "I never saw an overweight 90-year-old"
I am wondering what you think about foods that contain bioengineered food ingredients (gmos). I haven't read food labels in awhile but recently noticed almost all processed fooods have this on the label.
When you mentioned about the woodpulp in cheese.l worked in a cheese factory and the wood is used in making the imitation cheese.its real fine and is fine like sifted flour.l was told by my boss that it helps to bind the cheese together when it is poured and mixed together the other ingredients they used.l worked testing the core of the cheese to make sure it was a certain thickness consistency and if it was solid or to crumbly.and l also packaged it.The amount of wood powder is a very tiny sparse amount in the cheese when you eat a slice.l left that job later cause,l was waiting to get a nursing job at that time,as thats what l went to college for and did before the cheese job.l had to quit the nursing job before l took the cheese factory job cause l had moved far away from my nursing job.sending my love and hugs to you and your family and mother.❤️
The person who commented “as a diabetic….” Was talking about themselves. THEY cannot eat all those carbs.
Hmm I was wondering about that
Back in the 1800's and 1930's they would dig up dandelion root roast it then grind it up boil in water as a substitution for coffee when they couldn't afford coffee
1:19:28 Hahaha 😂 I’m the person who eats Kayro Syrup on her pancakes and waffles.
I was plant based for about a year and I started to crave meat. Once I started to introduce meat, I felt better.
plant based diets are not always that good for you. Allot of prepackaged fake meat like beyond meat ,is actually no healthier for you than meat .
We have always made our own pancake syrup with either white sugar or brown sugar and maple flavoring. We also got sorghum syrup some times; often the kind that was for cow feed.
Sorghum is so delicious, we have just recently Rediscovered it. My dad gave me a huge half gallon of it maybe 25 or more years ago. I kept it, but just opened it. It was perfectly good in every way. We used it on biscuits, making baked goods, on ice cream etc. Give it a try friends.
This woman wins whatever contest we have going I mean you have tawra stumped lol all u vegans need to follow this women tawra u might need to do a vegan cookbook collab with her😊
I need to rewatch this video , the first time I didn't catch much because I was cleaning and cooking. thanks for turning on the mic again
Ashlei is fortunate to have those stores with such rock bottom prices nearby
I Thank both of you for telling the truth as Canadian on disability I see so many people who don’t want to be a countable for their own decisions, I Know that I made some mistakes on how to to pay for medical bills and work on getting out of debt due to lack of understanding. I have a full kitchen cupboards with buying groceries only on sale, I have and possibly of trading volunteer time with a local food bank for vegetables that they have a over abundance of and might not get used in time. I live with a roommate and we share the cost of groceries for the 2 of us to eat cost $160.00 a month. We drink mostly water We don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol, don’t play lottery , and we don’t eat out often and we don’t buy pop, We live very full lives with many simple pleasures. We love watching a movie and eating popcorn, we enjoy taking a picnic to the park, we carry refill able water bottles most places. It all comes down to your mind set and if you’re willing to do the work.
One of the comments I get a lot is “Must be nice!”. This is told me because I have my house and an investment vacation rental property paid off. I paid cash for my used car. I buy most of my clothes at thrift stores, I don’t eat in restaurants often, I do my own nails, I go to the library for my entertainment, etc. I lived frugally so I could be debt free and save for my retirement. Now I’m 70 years old and I’m living very comfortably on less than most people earn. So they need to stop telling me I’m lucky! If they don’t want to do the work; I’m with you, I don’t have any sympathy for them!
I'm very happy to see you back.
Love your videos!
I cooked one dinner. If nobody wanted it they went to bed hungry. I keep 10 boxes of cereal for my son who was growing and ate a box in one sitting but I never paid over a dollar a box. I used coupons back then and could get them. Your advice is right 👍. 💯 percent 😂. Best advice I've seen in year's. Thanks for spreading it 🤠😁. Plus you have a great Mom 😁. Mine was a shopalact. I learned how to do right with money by listening to my Dad and watching what our Mom did. I learned from her mistakes .
I make my own bread crumbs.l also do my own pizza most of the time.lm on a very low budget like your mother and lm 66 yrs.old ,retired,disabled.l have to do everything on my own ,as l plan for myself and my kitty cats.l like this new idea for your videos.l have all your cookbooks and love them.l shop the weekly sale flyers and stock up with the really good deals.l make my own bread and use a bread machine sometimes,depends on the kind at the time.
Should i get a bread machine to make bread i dont know how to make bread
I call it, knickers in a knot. lol I love my good old fashioned cast iron frying pans, and the odd other cast iron utensil. I like the taste of the food better when it's cooked in cast iron items.
Hahaha, I say that too! And I agree that cast iron cooking really adds a nice flavor and appearance to so many foods.
How do you clean the cast iron pan
So many great one-liners in this one… my fave… mom saying, “wood pulp is plant based.” *SNORTING* 💀 And all the “healthy food influencers” on Instagram clutched their pearls.
Love these grocery audits!
Those of you that want flavored drinks, choose the hibiscus tea, or any tea!
I just bought hibiscus tea a few months ago. Not crazy about fruity tea but still drink it because so many amazing health benefits. They say to limit only 2-3 cups a day.
I am 79 years old and am still laying bricks and pouring concrete, running a chainsaw and log splitter and a push mower. I have been pulling the plastic siding off of my house so I can plaster it. Still building storage sheds, rooms on my house and new porches.
You’re doing all this and a woman! Incredible!
@@stst77 I don’t get it done very quickly any more, but I do get it done.
@@juliafayeconner594 that’s very impressive! I’m 53 and I don’t think I could do all of that.
@@stst77 you can do whatever you want to badly enough. You just have to get started.
@@juliafayeconner594 there is truth to that BUT there is also common sense where people have to soar in their God given talents and gifts. The truth is i have never been physically strong so at 53 if i picked up a chainsaw i might accidentally cut off my face, but i can soar in other areas where others don’t thrive. We can each thrive in our own ways, but that doesn’t discount the individual impressiveness of each person. What you do especially as a woman is highly impressive. I would be impressed if a man your age was doing that but a woman is really impressive.
I feel happy reading your comment knowing you not only can but still do all these things!
I am a vegan and I Love your cook book. I can easily sub my plant based foods as I need be.
Jill always reminds us that she gets veggies in her tomato sauce, too 😊
This was a really great video! Very educational.
Glad you think so!
One day, I am going to think of a friend that lives in the USA, then get your cook books, because in all honesty, I have problems thinking of quick recipes, when I don't have time. Next year I am going to buy a frost free upright deep freeze. I have a chest freezer that is deep and broke one of my ribs last winter, reaching for things on the bottom. Also to put my pre-cooked frozen meals, so I know what I have. Because sometimes I have lots of time to pre=cook meals and freeze them. But I don't do it, when anyone is in the house, because they distract me too much.
I got overweight because I ate too much, not because of what I ate.
Same here. Sometimes I am just a glutton and that's all there is to it.
A couple videos back you showed the sale ice cycles for 1 dollar at Walmart . I went to the 2 different Walmarts in my area and they were advertising them as on sale for 3 at one and 3.33 at the other! Crazy ! I really never thought the prices would vary that much around the country😳🤷🏻♀loving the new videos .keep up the good work I’m very frugal ( only way to survive California ) but I’m even learning
If you have the energy to put into making most of your food...Im gluten free, lactose free...I love that easy recipes are being posted...I like most foods though so I can take advantage of sales..
I am really enjoying the grocery audits. I have a grocery outlet that just opened near me. You can find some good deals.
It would help me to have a shopping list of some sort. I realize that she is buying bargains but I don't know that I can get the same kind of deals in my area.
Awesome going,Ashlei!!!!!!!!
I remember my daughter feeling sorry for an homeless guy sat outside a bakery, she went in and bought him some sausage rolls, she gave them to him, only to be told sorry I can’t eat that, I’m a vegetarian! You couldn’t make it up could you? Everything in moderation. If people would rather eat the cardboard box than what’s inside it, well go on, knock yourself out, but stop being food snobs and looking down your nose at other people. Tawra you crease me up, you must have Yorkshire blood in you, because you tell it how it is, like we do! Love your show, thank you for all the good advice you give, it is much appreciated, God bless!
north IDaho here... Groc Outlet is not the least expensive, typically. I watch their sales or pop in to check clearance and sometimes those are great.
I've made the Self raising flour Pizza, & even though I've not tried to freeze the dough, I was told that you can't, & should use it straight away, as the raising agent in the Flour will loose it's Proof/raising abilities if it's Frozen. As I said, not tried it myself.
I miss Winco! I moved from the PNW to the south. That is one store I miss. Loved their bulk food prices/selection and store brands.
What I saw in that video that said the cafe are the vanilla et cetera was not real was that don't pay top dollar for imitation. When you go to the grocery store and find a cheap container of Olive oil it likely is not Real Olive oil.
You both look so cute in blue. But have to say hill looks extra lovely today. Think it’s that baby blue color, it just works!
I do make bread crumbs! Put in the toaster and then put in the food processor!
Can you show us how to make knock off “skinny syrup” for coffees.
One day I went out to eat with several of my cousins both are vegetarian. My male cousin ordered fried cheese sticks. I asked him why he didn't eat meat. He said because it was not healthy. I said, in a nice way, "so how healthy are those breaded fried cheese sticks? "My female cousin said she just doesn't like the taste of meat.
I do find it hard to keep track of prices. One thing I did was buy a small book for telephone numbers and put milk under. M and so forth. There is plenty of room for different stores to be listed. Strangely our convenience store had the cheapest milk. It me and shopping at more than one store, but at the time I was feeding 4 and it was worth it to stay on budget. As far as bread crumbs are concerned, try this. Save a cereal bag, they are strong. I dry old bread and crush, also add non sweetened cereal crumbs to bag. As I fill I clip closed. I use for topping on Mac a d cheese and meat loaf.
Garage sale toys, that’s the way to go! Jill!
We go to local farms to buy pure honey. It tastes much better.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I live on social security too and I buy whatever I want to eat. I don’t smoke, drink or buy sodas or junk food so I can save money. I also don’t take any medication or go to doctors so I save all that money too. 😂😂
Great show!! Love to see you both together sharing your hard won wisdom 😊🎉
I agree with your general sentiments, but I will say I was one of the six point whatever million viewers that watched that video and I did not believe everything it said from the beginning and/or knew the truth ahead of time. My husband was kind of confused about some of the stuff. He was the one that had brought the video to my attention so then I watched it with him and explained how they’re over reacting about everything and it’s no big deal
You’re absolutely right about the incredible amount of sap you need to make maple syrup, not to mention the amount of gas you use to cook it down.
1, great variety.
I'm from VT. We use to eat real Maple syrup. That's what we wiuld call syrup. Then there was Mom's syrup. That was suger syrup with maplean.
Ans. to voting: I don't think I can do $45 a month (but if I tried maybe), but I don't think she's crazy. She can do it. I make my own bread crumbs but not all the time. LOL! I made homemade pizza tonight for dinner. Bacon leftover from last night, homemade sauce, super cheap! I love these videos. Thank you! Jill, perfect way to put it, "Food is not my god." I can eat simple, I don't need "all the stuff". I could eat rice every meal. Rice and bacon grease, rice and peas, rice with chicken broth... all with salt and pepper of course. But yes, food is what we eat to stay healthy. Love this video! Tawra, people are so ignorant in so many ways. Best way to put it.
Joe hollis lived and worked off the land and looked like a man who worked outside in the sun and labors intensively daily. He is also not a vegan as in his video he was raising ducks for sure which i imagine he eats eggs and or the duck itself.
When your skin rarely sees sun it does not age as fast as one who works outside. I am from Arizona and most people are carnivores yet age quite rapidly and have dry wrinkly skin alot sooner than the people i have met from colder climates that stay inside more frequently due to inclimental weather. There are many factors contributing to skin health as well as general health.
I give many props to this man who is living minimalistically as well as off the land it does not get more frugal than this gentleman who built it by hand. Hard working outdoors people do age faster.. vegans do not eat eggs
Vegetarians eat eggs, there are many varieties of “vegetarians”😂
Good looking loaf of bread
Awww man, I just bought a bottle of syrup when mine ran out. Bought the least expensive one, but now, I'm going to save my bottle when its empty and try to make my own.
Awesome video.
Well if you needed fire starter, use the vanilla with wood in it. lol
The coffee my husband would have to be careful with, as he has celiac's and the wheat etc. in there would not be good. Do you know which coffee's have that in them??????
We grow some good vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, lettuce. Homemade tomato products such as pizza sauce, pasta sauce, tomato soup.
I also make my own soup from homemade broth. My own yogurt, other things as well.
Our spice prices start around 2.98 in Alberta Canada, so I go and buy mine at the Health food stores, they have everything in bins, etc. Much cheaper. I buy enough that I can fill the spice jars, and store a jar full, to use out of. They don't sell PREGO Sauce, in Canada anymore. We liked that. But have found a cheap, good replacement. Am stocking up on that. Because I know it will go up. If I can afford it, I always buy 2 of things I am out of. One to use, one to stockpile. Only when on sale.
Homemade pizza for us or sale store bought frozen. Tawra about the frig and food spoiling I can relate !!!! We had a whirlpool and I finally had to freeze old water bottles and rotate them in and out of the frig daily to prevent food from spoiling . I had called repair men and they said the freezer was getting to cold and frig not cold enough but didn’t know how to fix it 😩so I gave up and solved problem myself. After years of doing this and moving to a different house I decided to buy another at a dent reject warehouse this time I bought Samsung . Well some problem 😡😩😳I can’t believe it !!!! I now just face reality and think of the newer refrigerators as ice boxes not refrigerators 🤷🏻♀
#1 Having to redo our kitchen due to plumbing issues.
Years ago I had a lady asking me for food. She didn't have anything to cook for her stroke surviving father. I took her kidney beans and rice. "Oh, I have that. It's meat I don't have" was her response. I'm delivering the food, that my husband and I eat, to a an ungrateful person who didn't even say sorry we don't eat that. I refused to take her
anything for years. My husband had me take them something. Now she gives me the things she won't eat from food bank. My preps are filled with lentils and split peas I've gotten from her.
"Healthy" eating is in the eye of beholder! I can't eat too many carbs or I get fat, but good for you that you can eat what you want. Good genes!
I watch you guys strictly for the sass. And savings that should be your new name. Sass and savings
Yes, you can eat that way, if you don't eat any meat. I did notice though that she uses ingredients from the grocery store that are not "weird" for vegetarian/vegan.
I keep lists of meals, and I keep them by season. I also keep a separate list of meatless meals that I swap in. Vegetable stir fry and vegetable fried rice are both on that list and it's easy to throw in any vegies that are left over
Right now it's getting time to eat a lot of cooked cabbage, plus potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash and carrots, which I don't see on her list. I also didn't see any oils.
I have more processed foods than I care to admit. I eat liverwurst (a couple of rolls a year), bologna (terrible, I know), frozen Tyson Chicken Crispy Strips, frozen breaded chicken breast for "chic-fil-a" type sandwiches.
I would be so angry. If you are attacked like this so often, I need to double down in praying for you.
I am a single senior, and prepared as best I could, being prudent, etc., some of it worked, but some didn't. I learned the principles though of what you are attempting to teach others. I don't think I am just surviving, I feel I am thriving. I am where God wants me to be.
I am having laughing fits relative to "fake" food. Lack of knowledge is so outrageous.
I make my vanilla. I can taste the difference. Have always been able to. It is a lot more expensive, but that's a personal choice.
You all make me laugh!
We as Americans do not know what it feels like to be hungry for your meals. When I was a kid, we went outside to play then would come home and have lunch. We didn't constantly have a drink with us, and our parents didn't make us take snacks with us. At supper time you were hungry and ate what was in front of you. We had a snack before bed and that was it. All kids and adults do today is eat and drink way to much all the time.
Fruit has a lot same vit. Veggies have. Friends daughter ate yogurt and fruit growing up. (She was picky). She was very healthy.
I’ve been reusing my vanilla beans for 20 years. Used 20 x still works
Oh my gosh, I may have swallowed gum once or twice this is so funny… now I know why I had to have that target colonoscopy dog gone it I need to buy more gum
I love hearing Miss Jill talk about the ant and the grasshopper. The problem is, we have an entire generation of people that were told a different version. When I was in my intership in college (elementary education), the story of the ant and the grasshopper in the textbooks ended with the grasshopper being allowed to come into the anthill. The lesson is completely lost. Same with the Little Red Hen. The hen "forgives" her friends and shares with the lazy moochers. 😡 (I homeschool my kids and taught them the real stories.)
So when the grasshopper goes in the ant mound do they eat him?
@@AnnaJones-r7i nope, he plays his fiddle and the ants dance all winter. 🤦
Cinnamon comes from a tree!
And we all know how many people have that on their coffee every morning!
There now I ended the wood discussion!!!
You are so right! I totally forgot about that!
The food banks in my area don't hardly give a single person anything (like 5 items) I am still having to buy food & will probably stop going to the food banks. So i disagree with you about them helping alot of people. I'm a very responsible person but because I don't make enough where I'll work out and I've got my average bills I still have to supplement and try to figure out how I'm going to eat. And I am anemic and have to have certain foods.
I am still here!
does anyone know if the gluten free dairy free cookbook is good for only gluten free? My daughter is gluten free but can eat and loves dairy didnt know if you can just swap dairy of your choice thank you
Yes! You can just use regular milk if you are able to. It will switch out just fine.
I'm in Ontario canada and I have hard time cooking for one person and I'm on disability so money is tight
In being frugal I could eat for 70 to 80 bucks a month without feeling deprived.
Anything less than 20 a week just feels depressing.
My mother’s friend lives on $25/month grocery budget in America, but she is a little old lady who lives alone, has a garden, and doesn’t require as much food as a young active person.
I live in Japan with a family to feed so there’s no way I could live on $50/person/month unless we just ate rice and water. We could live on it but my kids would not enjoy meals or life eating like that.
Milk alone is $14/week if i buy the cheapest milk for every day consumption, and the milk prices keep rising here.
If we have meat every day the cheapest i can get would be $5/day/meal for the family.
The cheapest fruit is bananas which are $1 for 3-4 bananas if it’s 3 someone doesn’t get one and these are the small bananas. Larger bananas cost 2-3 times as much.
I buy seasonal vegetables but the prices of them continue to rise.
Then there are the smaller items like soy sauce, miso, tofu, tsuyu, tea, etc. that are essential for Japanese cooking.
If the family wants snacks that’s another expense even cheap snacks so it all adds up to way more than $50.
I think we spend very reasonably based on where we live but food is a big expense.
I always use popcorn as a snack for my kids and their friends. It’s cheap, filling and i have never had a kid that didn’t like it. And yes, i pop it myself.
I have never used saffron in my life.
