WIN $100 visa card for groceries! 1. Must be subscribed to my channel 2. Like this video 3. Comment and tell me why you should win and what videos you want more of this year!
I think I should win cause I always watch you on UA-cam I try not to miss a video. I would like to eat more heathy like you do everyday but you know with the price of everything theses days it’s really hard to eat healthy and affordable
Is this open to people outside of the states? I would like to win this as I am a new subscriber who recently found your channel whilst looking for help with hypothyroidism. I've had ME for 5 years now and been on quite the journey of recovery. I am now dealing with hypothyroidism but determined to get fully "well" by the end of the year. Your channel is so inspiring to me. I'd love help with the cost of groceries 🙏
Hi Katie! I've been following you for YEARS ... like big blue couch years. I chuckled when you said you got chomps as a snack because I started eating them after you introduced them in a video where you were singing "chomps chomps chomps," lol. Anyway, I should win the gift card because I have to travel 3 hours to get to my closest trader joes, so this would be a big help in my grocery shopping endeavors. I, too, have hypothyroidism, so finding gluten-free/dairy-free foods that are within budget AND taste good is hard. Trader Joe's has a lot of those reasonably priced items you mention in your video (like their cauliflower gnocchi). I would love to see more videos throughout the year featuring products you like to cook with. For example, I would have never tried the hearts of palm, but I will now look for it! Also, I love your quick meal-prepping videos or any videos where you are baking or cooking because they give me many ideas for what I can make at home.
Hi katie!! I think I should win because I have been following you for years and I haven’t won anything 🤣 no seriously groceries are crazy expensive here in the Midwest & I would love to win!!
Hi Katie!! :D First of all. THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! I always do my groseries in a budget, so, this is so helpful to me!! ....Eeverytime I watch some of your products/recipes, I get so upset and sad because I can't afford them 😪😪so, winning will give me finally, an opportunity to try some your favorities products/recipes🤤🤤 and will definitely buy one of your proteins!! 🤩🤩🤩of course! I have dreaming with it since you launched it, and finally will have the opportunity to get it!!!😍😍 xoxo, @LoveSweatFitness
I just turned 47 and I know how important it is to take care of myself, but I don't. I have decided this is the year of being kind to myself and eating healthy.
I just bought my first home all by myself! I am trying to create good and healthy habits here and am finding that all the expenses that come with owning a home is forcing me to be more careful with grocery shopping. This video is a helpful reminder that you can eat healthy and on a budget
@ Tara Hansen... I do not know your pre routine, but you can accomplish and stay in this ... consistence is the key. I know you are able to do this! Blessings.
Living here in Canada we do not have Trader Joe’s. It’s just my husband and I and we eat a whole foods diet. We save a fortune shopping at Costco, just the toilet paper loan pays for the membership. There is a great variety of organic and grass fed cheeses meats and eggs. We buy our nuts and seeds, oils, meats, nut butters, almond and milk, and an endless variety of organic pantry items such as sprouted oats, coconut sugar, shredded coconut, organic diced tomatoes, beans, butter etc.. I also can buy our unscented Kirkland laundry detergent and dog kibble, such a savings!
And side note- I don’t understand why they don’t expand into Canada-you’re on the same continent!!!! I’m in Puerto Rico and when I’m not I ship my dad things alll the time. I can see why it would be harder to expand there. But Canada… there’s no excuse!
@@GoodandDelicious would be fun, but we live in Manitoba. Not just that, but the cost of fuel then add the exchange on the dollar, then duty on the products purchased, it would go way beyond budget friendly lol. I shopped once at a Trader Joe’s in Arizona, while a novelty, if I were American I probably wouldn’t frequent it that often as we eat mainly a whole foods diet and I think there are better prices elsewhere. It was fun though😁
I go to Costco , second choice Whole Foods and thn traders Joe. You can’t buy fresh organic tasty veggies in Costco , but you can def save on other things
I am training for my first bikini competition in November 2023. I still have 25 pounds to lose and 10 months of training before hitting the stage! I am so excited and look forward to my continued transitition! I have been working 2 jobs, part time so I can have more flexibility to be availalble to help my mom. Money has been tight especially with the added cost of competiting. NO matter how tough it gets, or how many mistakes I make, I am not giving up! This is the first time that I am doing something good just for me. Not for approval, a relationship, not for a job and definitely not just to get into skinny jeans. I am so out of my comfort zone but I know it's the only way to the best version of me and for that I am grateful :)
I have se lemon juice sometimes to clean fruits and veggies. I soak them with lemon juice and water in my salad spinner, rinse well, spin dry and lay on a paper towel lined baking sheet to dry completely.
I loved the grocery haul; Trader Joe's isn't as convenient a place for me to stop as, say, Aldi, but when I am in the area I enjoy stopping there. I also loved the baby break! Luke is so precious and adorable~
I recently got off birth control, looking to regulate my cycle and get back all the nutrients lost. I’ve been diving deeper into my health and wellness. As I’ve been trying to eat healthier, I find grocery to be expensive for my husband and I. Trying to eat organic, wild caught fish, pasture raised meats and even supplements or healthier alternatives. I love watching your videos.
Hi Katie! I’ve recently gotten super motivated to finally lose that 50lbs! I’m currently down my first 5lbs and excited to keep going and not just give up! I really feel this is finally it for me. And I have you to thank 1000% for that. I’ve been binging your content over again to help me keep motivated. That $100 will help me in my new grocery budget for sure! I recently switched my whole house to clean eating and as a mom to 5 kids (oldest 7, youngest 9months) you can imagine that grocery bill is a scary sight haha. I could also use it to buy your peanut butter protein powder haha! I already have your vanilla chocolate, miss congeniality and wing woman, all are amazing! My husband has even started stealing scoops 😂 I feel so much better fueling myself with guilt free nutrition. I recently bought your new pink drink mix and it’s amazing! I’m excited to see the difference in my skin! I’ve been enjoying your workout app too, but that is my one area I’m struggling to stay motivated in, your quick workouts on their are perfect for my procrastination. Thank you for making these videos and being such a positive role model on the internet! I especially love the grocery hauls and what I eat in a day videos for inspiration! Sending love, grace, and positive vibes to you and your family! God bless! -Kelly
I got diagnosed with hypo a week ago and have found so much comfort and encouragement watching your videos! I was super overwhelmed and lost. Your videos have helped me a ton and I’m looking forward to watching lots more!🫶🏼💓 I’d love to see some easy gluten/dairy free recipes!
Katie love the baking soda tip! As a mom of three boys who are eating me out if house and home I could use the 100 dollars to buy the things this hypo girl needs, like celery juice, but just won't get for herself in the end. Love on that sweet baby boy as it all goes so fast!
Hello from Colorado. After caring for my elderly mom in our home for several years she has passed on…she had a great life. Was very hard on me while raising my two beautiful teenage boys. It was a wonderful thing but I just did not have time to take care of myself the way I used to. I am trying very hard to get healthy and feel my best again! Thanks for your tips and tricks. Blessings to your family. 💕
I have two kids and work full time, so it’s really difficult to prep and get healthy foods for me and the kids. Finding this channel helped me so much to help change some of the unhealthy habits I developed. I love all the recipes and staples that I can get to help continue a healthy lifestyle for my family. This gift card would help us so much to continue getting healthy foods.
I have been following you for a couple years now and your advice has impacted my health a ton. I was diagnosed with hypo 3 years ago and was in a world of hurt and confusion with what was going on with my body. Once I found your channel I felt like someone understands me!!! I try my best to meal prep and eat healthy my son was just diagnosed with a rare bones disease and now he is eating healthier as well. Win or loose, what your doing helps so many people. Thank you Ps I love seeing you with your son, nothing better than being a mom!
Hi Katie! I looove Trader Joe’s too. Last year my health wasn’t that great and it drown me mentally and physically of course, so I started realizing that you really are what YOU EAT. This year I started appreciating nature more and what it gives us and started taking care of my body consciously, not to much for fitness even though I enjoy it but for my own wellness. I want more fruits and veggies and your REWARD will help me a lot to enrich my body with food nutrients. I am also preparing my body to start my pregnancy journey so it all connects together. Great tip I’ve received: eat more of what God has made. Did he made the avocado? Yes, so eat more of that. Did he made the potato? Yea, so eat that. Did He made potatoes chips? No, it’s processed a lot so eat less of that. That’s how I think when I shop, MORE of what God made( whole food) less of what humans made. - never said don’t ever eat process because ice cream is delishhh but LESS. Thank you Katie!❤
I'm a grandma to 5, run three companies and very busy. I'm super ambitious, but to a fault. My own health has struggled because I don't say 'no' enough which takes away from self-care. I'm working on that though! In the meantime, I've gotten into the rut of placing orders for curbside pick-up, which, as you stated, costs way more and gives you less control in the items you are receiving. Often times, if I actually get to the store in person, I discover items I didn't know existed. Every little bit helps the budget, so grocery money is always welcome. Regardless, your videos are fun, make healthy decision-making easier and inspire me. Thank you!
I love your videos especially for busy workings moms! My husband and 2 year old sons name are Ryan as well - we live in NY state where EVERYTHING is extremely expensive!
I’ve been struggling with my hormones (PCOS + high cortisol) and have been slowly integrating new habits to support me on my healing/health journey! Learning about cycle syncing and how to eat more balanced, after years of restrictive diets, unhealthy habits and healthy eating confusion. The biggest barrier has been cost of keeping up with groceries and supplements. The 100$ Visa would help cover the cost of some supplements I haven’t been able to afford along with some healthy grocery items that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to buy. Thank you for putting out such great content for us, Katie! ❤❤❤
I like the baking soda tip too!! It's not complicated and time consuming..👍 Thank God everything that we need in our household is still available but I am bad budgeting😔 love your energy even after having a baby... It's a real life changing experience and a good support team helps a lot!!! I also wanna add that the food that you cook looks so delicious!! May God bless you and your family...
I shared with my family, who just started their fittness journey🥰 I also started my journey today, FINALLY. Honestly, anyone here is deserving of your gift! I have been following you for about 2 years now and I have seen you and your family grow. You are such an inspiration to the tight-knit community that you and your team have created for us🤍
These past two years my family has been living with my mother-in-law. She does all the cooking, so I really don’t have a say in what we eat. However I try to do a little meal prep with limited room in the fridge. I’ve gain at least 20lbs from the stress of living with someone else’s home. However, we just bought a house and I cannot wait to start the LSF meal plan!!
I have been following, I think, now for around 7 years on UA-cam only as I don’t have any other form of social media. I also have hypo and I have learned a lot from you about nutrition and how to create a healthy lifestyle and maintain it. I have implemented many of your tips in my life. Ty for your hard work!!! ❤
Thank you for your tips! Wish we had a trader Joes around my area. Closest one is 3 hours away in KC. Very nice of you to help others with groceries. Buying healthier food is more expensive so this would be a great opportunity to encourage someone to get healthier food even when their on a strict budget. Keep up the videos. We really appreciate your help and experience. More videos of meal prepping is always a great addition.
I’m a huge testimonial of how your cookbook changed my LIFE and helped me build my own recipes too! 100lbs down now, I’m also a newly single momma of 3 boys. I’d love to put this towards some self love for me and more of your products to keep me healthy and on track🎉🫶🏼so thankful for you! I feel great and that’s a big deal when going through a separation
Megan! It's seriously SO amazing to hear about all of your progress. I'm happy that the cookbook could be a tool to help you achieve all of that. You made it happen, proud of you!
Our family recently found out my husband is pre-diabetic so I'm working to help his diet before having to try meds. I also have an autistic son who is very sensitive to textures & tastes. It's definitely challenging & there are 4 of us so I have to prepare some different foods for every meal.....which definitely gets expensive.
This past year I have been trying to lose weight and eat healthier. Your UA-cam channel has really help me find that new motivation and tip that I need. I would love to win to help carry out the trend of buying healthier foods and meal planning. I also love watching to find ways to save while doing it and time management.
As a student who's planning to go to vet school, having cost effective ways to save on food and food waste is super important! I would love to use the gift card to implement these food storage tips and have healthy food on hand to continue my fitness journey!
I'm a mom and sole provider to a family of four. This gift card would help tremendously. Starting my health journey with the Hot body meal plan and getting my kids on board to eat more fruits and veggies is gonna be pricey on the first grocery trip. So sweet of you to do a giveaway like this! 💓
I just started changing the way I heat to eat healthier. I need to get fit so I can be a role model for my daughter. No diets just clean healthy eating. Thank you for inspiring me. PS the gift card would really help on my journey. Appreciate you.
Thank you so much for making this video. I just started my journey of eating healthy. I am a single mom of two and can’t wait to look and feel my best.
Literally all of my money goes towards groceries! I need to be better about creating a list and budgeting for what I buy every week. This video gave me all the good, PRACTICAL tips! I love to be as resourceful as I can throughout the week so nothing goes to waste either! Like when I chop up celery for snacks, I use the leaves and ends to make into celery juice for the week. Love this type of content!
I’m a medical resident working 80+ hours a week at a county hospital, which means my salary ends up being lower than minimum wage if you calculate it out per hour. Working so much and living alone makes it so hard to stick to a healthy lifestyle, but still do everything possible to try! I’d love to see more quick healthy meal videos!
Winning would just be such a huge blessing! I would like to see more videos of easy on the go breakfast and lunches that don’t take hours of meal prep if possible!
Husband and I just graduated from college, trying to have a baby, started two new business' from home, trying to be as healthy as we can be! We live in NM and our monthly grocery budget is $150. This visa gift card would help us with nearly that entire amount! I've been following you for years, thank you for all the knowledge you share with the world!
Trying to start to fix my thyroids and seen your video make me realize about gut leak and I might have that same issue. Very happy to find you and now need to clean out my refrigerator and buy new and clean groceries
This card would help me a lot this month! Our budget is already running out and I am going to be starting a strict elimination diet very soon to try and get a little relief and some answers for my chronic illness, so this would go a long way towards stocking up on quality proteins and produce.
My husband and I decided to start going to the gym again and making better choices. We would like to make sure our 2 boys have parents for a long time but also make healthy choices as well. We don’t have a trader hoes close to us so healthy choices for us are more expensive. I love all your tips and tricks, as well as, all your work outs ❤
I love your tips & tricks! I am a household of 1, and it's so tricky buying/cooking for 1 serving size or 2. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!! The big challenge for me is having some leftovers; but not too much that it gets old before I can eat it. I did enjoy that you bought protein you could freeze for later, the quinoa pasta was new to me - I didn't know they made that product, and learning more about the benefits about bone broth was very interesting. I learned something new from you too about which oils you should & shouldn't heat. Thank you for that burst of knowledge! I refrigerated my bag of lemons, but being just 1 person, I couldn't use them in my green tea fast enough, and they dried up. 🙃
I'm a teacher that teachers Zumba! I'd love to use this to keep up my healthy goals. I believe in eating for our bodies & still having fun with foods. I would love to try some new fun healthy meals!
I was diagnosed with Graves' disease when I 29. I had radiation treatment and now I'm hypothyroid. Your channel has been so very helpful on this journey. We don't have a Trader Joes near us, its about a 45 min. drive👎. However, a $100.00 card would definitely make it worth the trip, LOL! But seriously, congrats on motherhood and thanks for the love and inspiration to us all.
No Trader Joes here in the UK but as I mostly cook from scratch it’s not a problem we find Aldi is fab for fresh foods as well as frozen and we’re blessed to have a butcher who trades locally and delivers all around the villages. Fresh fish is tougher to get but there are some OK frozen options xx
I recently discovered a trick to put a wet towel or paper towel by your cutting board while chopping onions. The gases that cause tears are attracted to moisture. Hence- our eyes. It worked for me.
Love love love Trader Joe’s but unfortunately the closest one to me is like a 45min drive each direction. When I do go I stock up majorly with all my favs! $100 would go a very long way in helping with my stock up trip, which happens about every other month due to my budget. Also a great way to help make your fruits and veggies last longer is the Rubbermaid fresh works containers - I tell you they help keep all my fruits and veggies fresh for like a week or more!! I eat a lot of berries and hate when they get mushy; gotta be crisp or in the blender they go!
So glad I found your videos. I'm starting a low carb and heart healthy diet and eating healthier does cost a little more but I have to do the diet for my health. Winning would be such a great opportunity to start my healthy eating journey.
Love your u- tube latest video!!Having a protien shake before shopping for groceries is my new thing this year!!You are right it really helps to not impulse buy.Only get from your list!!Food is really expensive instead of coupon's.I have been omitting item's until next payday to stretch my dollar!!
I take care of my 3 grandkids during the week and I’m transitioning them over to organic healthier options. The earlier you start them eating healthy the better! Because they’re growing they are hungry all the time!!!! Our grocery bill has gone up.
I love watching your videos for new ideas. I’m a first time mom to a baby boy born Dec 2022! It has been challenging eating for me since having him. I’d love to get a fresh start!
Back in the fall I injured my knee and can't do my regular walks and trips to the gym, so I've gained 6 pounds. I'm doing many PT exercises to heal. In the meantime, the big challenge is not eating out of frustration. You've given me incentive for yummy food prepping and the gift card will help me buy lots of the items you buy. I'm also a big TJ shopper and live in Oregon. Love your challenge. Your baby is adorable!
Hi there! Love your videos! I am trying to really shift my health, mentally and physically, this year and live with much more intention. After a very challenging year personally last year, I am determined to make healthy choices that feed my body, my soul, and my mind to take back control of my life and happiness
I feel I deserve the giveaway, just as much as anyone else here, given the fact that groceries are so expensive. And It is Double expensive if you are buying healthy groceries! Actually there probably is several that need this more than me, so I'm super happy for whoever wins this!!
I'm a new SAHM to 2 girls (I have always worked. But because of daycare costs, I am staying home). I'm trying to get back in shape and struggling because of the price of healthy foods at the grocery store. I love your videos and guides! They give me so much motivation to keep it up ♥️
I have been following you for a couple of years now and can say that your advice has changed the way I eat. I no longer shop the snack isles and focus more on foods that make my body feel good. I am only 23 and groceries can be expensive right now. I would love the gift card to be able to buy some fresh fruits for my morning smoothies❤
I’ve been following you for a long time and I always come away with ways to support myself through diet and exercise as well as tips for living my best life. You keep me going and spread joy to all! Love you! More videos on meal plans, what I eat in a day, and supplement videos would be helpful.
I love your grocery hauls as they put me back on track with grocery shopping. I always watch them with a pen and paper so that I can add to my grocery list right then and there as I’m watching. Love your health swaps and meal preps as well. Please choose me for receiving the gift card as I have to drive 45 minutes to Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods and I could really use the boost in gas and grocery money. Love your channel!
Oh my god, I just went grocery shopping last night. Food is so expensive. Thank god we can still use WIC but even with that it’s SO expensive. My partner gets food benefits every month but it’s NOT enough because we still have to supplement my sons nutrition with formula. He LOVES your oatmeal breakfast cookies with cashew butter! I work full time but most of it goes to rent & utilities. I refuse to let nutrition come 2nd or 3rd to anything. I do love the LSF protein too but it’s something I splurge on or ask for as a gift. I got chocolate for Christmas! Anyway I would love to see more of the morning and evening routines. Love those & the holiday treat ideas for different occasions. I made those Christmas treats like CRAZY & everyone loves them: my family, my coworkers. So great! Luke is SO BIG already! He’s perfect, oh my gosh!! 78 degrees in February?? NOT FAIR!!! It’s freezing here (Boston) Thanks Katie! Thanks LSF! I love my move app. I use it every day at the gym or at home on the weekends. Hugs to everyone who’s doing their best everyday. That’s ALL of us! ❤
I love how real you have been over the years! I also struggle with hypo and made it a goal to heal myself this year which means healthy foods! Unfortunately this can get hard with the prices, but can be done on a budget, like you you just explained in this video. Thank you so much for all your amazing hypo friendly meal ideas and tips!
Hi Katie. I am Gina I have 2 children. 7 months postpartum and this time around I am having a really hard time losing the weight dealing with binge eating at niight and can't wait to try your slumber party on our next paycheck . I found your UA-cam cha nnel recently and I haven't been able to stop watching. I love your personality and content. I am sure anyone you pick will deserve the 100 ! Thank you for generosity! Love, Gina
Hi Katie! Thanks for sharing. These are great tips! It’s so tricky buying and prepping for one. It feels like I’m always throwing away spoiled food before I get to it if I try to do one big food haul for the week or running to the store every other day if trying to be more aware of food waste, but then I end up buying extra stuff that I didn’t originally plan on because I’m on my way home from the office and hungry.
this is content we all need!!!! so many of us are struggling to buy groceries and what we need because prices are just crazy! but as someone who has learned to get the healthy foods that help me reach my goals and make me feel good, and keep me on track on a budget this was refreshing to see. as always, katie, your videos are good and refreshing! i think i could definitely benefit from the grocery money because then i could try a new switch up to my normal routine! thank you for always trying to help and support us girls!! in all aspects 🤍✨🥹💪🏼 much love, lil moment of luke was precious!
The baking soda hack is amazing, I can’t wait to try! I have been working on my weight loss and just “feel better” journey and my struggle is being able to afford healthier options since the prices of everything just sky rocket. I put my two boys needs before my own which makes it even more challenging!
Love seeing a solution to cleaning/storing berries, I normally wash as I use them which is almost daily, it gets a bit tedious. The budget advice is much appreciated, with 2 kiddos it becomes a challenge to accommodate everyone's grocery wishes, stay healthy, & on budget... usually, they're the ones accommodated lol! Stay well, everyone!✌🏻🩶
Whole Foods where I live is the cheapest grocery option. I buy through Amazon prime for delivery. I’ve priced it at different places, and it’s always cheaper at Whole Foods. People think I’m crazy when I say that.
13:21 Hey Katie! I love following your journey! I would love to win the $100 gift card so that I can continue to fuel my body with healthy staples. I have lost work recently(my Dad has Stage 4 Cancer and had 2 medical emergencies within 3 weeks) I’ve been forced to depend on food banks for food. I quickly learned that food banks only give out expired foods and even moldy vegetables. Being selected winner would give me the chance to purchase fresh & organic produce & food. Thanks for always being an inspiration Katie!
I have been in my fitness and healthy journey this year mostly for health reasons and have been doing great and barely having alcohol but groceries are sooo expensive especially for a 24 year old only two years out of college so this could be an amazing help ! Love your vids can’t wait to hear more about Luke
As a mom of young twins, trying to make healthy meals for picky toddlers is SUCH a struggle, before you consider cost! So I’d love to have some extra money to make sure I’m setting them up to succeed at a young age!
Great Video. Never knew about the baking soda hack.. I will have to use that. Groceries are definitely expensive. I am down 23 lbs and can always use extra money to focus on eating healthy..
We spend so much at the grocery store. We shop every two weeks, so try and get enough so that we don’t have to stop during the week for one item. I’m vegetarian and my husband is not so much harder with two different meals needed (mostly dinners are the hardest).
Great video! I had surgery a couple months ago and haven’t been able to walk and I haven’t felt well from the surgery. I am just trying to get back into a routine!
Recovering from major surgery and now a corrective surgery which was no more successful I put such of my energy into schooling my 4 boys it would be such a blessing to get some more nutrient dense groceries in.
Hi Katie, I've been following you for a few years now and might I say I absolutely love your channel, it has brought so much motivation into my life. I have hashimoto's, I was doing good shopping healthy foods for a while up until recently. It's gotten to where I cant afford to shop healthy foods now everything has gotten so high. And after I pay rent and Bill's I barely have enough left to buy groceries. My health has started declining since it's hard to buy healthy food these days. I just want to be healthy again😔 but, I will continue to watch your videos bc you are an inspiration and I thank you for everything!❤
Love your videos! Great tip about washing blueberries with baking soda. Never thought to do that. I get blueberries and strawberries every week for myself and my kids and wash them right away and put them in the refrigerator. Having healthy food washed and ready makes it easier for them to reach for instead of junk. Food prices are crazy expensive right now. I’ve always been a healthy eater and try to find healthier alternatives for my four children which is hard sometimes when healthier food sometimes tends to be more expensive. Having a $100 gift card would be so helpful right now. I would love to see more grocery hall videos and meal preps. 😊
I have been on such a horrible food rut with buying cheaper (unhealthy) groceries to get by. This gift card would be so helpful to get back into buying good for me foods for myself and my family! P.S... love everything you do!!! Thank you!
The giftcard would be so helpful for me because like you said, I have also been spending soooo much on groceries lately!! It would really help make it so that I can continue to try and buy all the healthy foods that I need to live a healthy lifestyle.
This is perfect because I've really been on track to eating better but I do agree that it's more pricey to do so. The $100 gift card would help so much! Thank you for the opportunity. I'm also getting back on a routine for working out. I just want to feel better in my body especially as I get older. If I'm not taking care of myself, I can definitely feel it.
I would love to win because I’m a teacher and it’s been so hard to make the time to meal prep for the week since there are so many things to get ready for the next week. I would love to go on a grocery shopping haul to try a bunch of new to me recipes! I’d love to see more grocery and meal prep videos!
I have been following you/watching your videos for a year or two now and I seriously have loved everything you have made along with vlogs with your everyday life stuff 🤩 Your cooking/ meal prep videos gave me such inspiration and help live\love a better healthy life! ✨✨ I really loved this video, specifically showing how you wash your produce and suggesting putting foods away how you find them in the store! I never thought of it like that so thank you for that advice ❤️ I would love to see more videos of meal prepping! I alsoooo can't wait for future videos when you start making things for your little one because I'm always trying new recipes for my two toddlers and I can't wait to see what I separation you give me when that time comes 🤩🤩
I would be so grateful for the grocery card! I’m a new mom and juggling school as well! It’s been stressful but I’m trying to eat well to set an example and feel like myself again 💕
Thanks for the give away. I always enjoy watching your videos. Being a mom of 2, I am always busy with the kid so sometime i forgot about taking care of myself.
Living on a single income with 4 kiddos right now. My fiancé had knee surgery and has been off work for 6 weeks and will be off another 2 minimum. Would help take some extra stress off this momma!
Any help I can get feeding our family of four in a healthy manner with the continuously increasing cost of clean food would be helpful!!! I would love to see quick workout videos for newbies.
Such great content! I live in a small tourist town where wages sure don’t match the grocery prices. I could stretch $100 a looonnng way on healthy groceries for my family of 4!
I was recently diagnosed with Brain Cancer again….yes it came back 🥹 I’ve been eating so much fruit lately and obviously trying to stay as healthy as I can! This gift card would help so much!!❤
I love these tips!! I am trying to eat healthier and shop at TJ too so it is SO helpful to hear how much you spend and what you buy for healthy snacks. I am inspired by your list, also can't wait to try the Heart of Palms Pasta! Also, LOVE the baking soda trick, totally trying that.
I’m a working professional single mom who is trying to set an example for my 2 girls with healthy lifestyle choices. I want to show them how eating healthy makes the difference as a lifestyle versus restricting to just protein, which has led is to binge on sweets because we lack energy. I love your healthy sensible easy to understand channel!
Hi Katie, Well, where to begin...on my journey with you, I've lost 75lbs. I still need a few more to come off. You've taught me how to eat clean amongst other things that, unfortunately, my parents and family never shared growing up. Wasn't the thing, I guess. Anyhow, with what I've gained, I was able to share with my daughter and boyfriend. And because of you, we are healthy. We all second guess what we want to eat versus, wait a minute. " What would Katie do? "..Lol! Having this gift card would help a great deal. We just had to sell a vehicle as my daughter's tuition for dyslexia school is outrageous, along with some other struggles we are having. I just know that I gave up on some things for myself so I can fund and give my daughter what she needs. But this Momma wants her groceries....Thankyou, Katie
Love your videos! I just had my second baby a few weeks before you had your sweet baby. I had the worst pregnancy experience this time around. Lost 30 lbs because I couldn't eat anything. I'm really seeing the consequences of this now. I'm anemic and my hair is falling out in clumps. Winning this card could really help out with getting more nutrient dense foods.
I am allergic to vinegar, so I normally just wash my fruit/veggies with water and hope for the best, lol. I never thought of baking soda. That's going on my list! Trying to meal prep while feeding my husband and two kids is a challenge but as I'm going through HBMP makes things a little easier. Finding groceries on a budget is helpful too!
Love this video! I am the only one that has to eat a certain way, low sodium plant based, for health reasons. Groceries are so expensive here and as I see everywhere else too. If I win, it would really help me afford those better options for me and be able to get stuff that the rest of my family eats too. Good luck to everyone!
WIN $100 visa card for groceries!
1. Must be subscribed to my channel
2. Like this video
3. Comment and tell me why you should win and what videos you want more of this year!
I think I should win cause I always watch you on UA-cam I try not to miss a video. I would like to eat more heathy like you do everyday but you know with the price of everything theses days it’s really hard to eat healthy and affordable
Is this open to people outside of the states? I would like to win this as I am a new subscriber who recently found your channel whilst looking for help with hypothyroidism. I've had ME for 5 years now and been on quite the journey of recovery. I am now dealing with hypothyroidism but determined to get fully "well" by the end of the year. Your channel is so inspiring to me. I'd love help with the cost of groceries 🙏
Hi Katie! I've been following you for YEARS ... like big blue couch years. I chuckled when you said you got chomps as a snack because I started eating them after you introduced them in a video where you were singing "chomps chomps chomps," lol. Anyway, I should win the gift card because I have to travel 3 hours to get to my closest trader joes, so this would be a big help in my grocery shopping endeavors. I, too, have hypothyroidism, so finding gluten-free/dairy-free foods that are within budget AND taste good is hard. Trader Joe's has a lot of those reasonably priced items you mention in your video (like their cauliflower gnocchi). I would love to see more videos throughout the year featuring products you like to cook with. For example, I would have never tried the hearts of palm, but I will now look for it! Also, I love your quick meal-prepping videos or any videos where you are baking or cooking because they give me many ideas for what I can make at home.
Hi katie!! I think I should win because I have been following you for years and I haven’t won anything 🤣 no seriously groceries are crazy expensive here in the Midwest & I would love to win!!
Hi Katie!! :D First of all. THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! I always do my groseries in a budget, so, this is so helpful to me!! ....Eeverytime I watch some of your products/recipes, I get so upset and sad because I can't afford them 😪😪so, winning will give me finally, an opportunity to try some your favorities products/recipes🤤🤤 and will definitely buy one of your proteins!! 🤩🤩🤩of course! I have dreaming with it since you launched it, and finally will have the opportunity to get it!!!😍😍 xoxo, @LoveSweatFitness
I just turned 47 and I know how important it is to take care of myself, but I don't. I have decided this is the year of being kind to myself and eating healthy.
I just bought my first home all by myself! I am trying to create good and healthy habits here and am finding that all the expenses that come with owning a home is forcing me to be more careful with grocery shopping. This video is a helpful reminder that you can eat healthy and on a budget
@ Tara Hansen...
I do not know your pre routine, but you can accomplish and stay in this ... consistence is the key. I know you are able to do this!
Blessings.
Living here in Canada we do not have Trader Joe’s. It’s just my husband and I and we eat a whole foods diet. We save a fortune shopping at Costco, just the toilet paper loan pays for the membership. There is a great variety of organic and grass fed cheeses meats and eggs. We buy our nuts and seeds, oils, meats, nut butters, almond and milk, and an endless variety of organic pantry items such as sprouted oats, coconut sugar, shredded coconut, organic diced tomatoes, beans, butter etc.. I also can buy our unscented Kirkland laundry detergent and dog kibble, such a savings!
If you ever can swing it to Buffalo, there’s one near the border.
And side note- I don’t understand why they don’t expand into Canada-you’re on the same continent!!!! I’m in Puerto Rico and when I’m not I ship my dad things alll the time. I can see why it would be harder to expand there. But Canada… there’s no excuse!
I live in United States but, don't live anywhere close to a Trader Joe's, and have never been to one. Would love but, just not an option
@@GoodandDelicious would be fun, but we live in Manitoba. Not just that, but the cost of fuel then add the exchange on the dollar, then duty on the products purchased, it would go way beyond budget friendly lol. I shopped once at a Trader Joe’s in Arizona, while a novelty, if I were American I probably wouldn’t frequent it that often as we eat mainly a whole foods diet and I think there are better prices elsewhere. It was fun though😁
I go to Costco , second choice Whole Foods and thn traders Joe. You can’t buy fresh organic tasty veggies in Costco , but you can def save on other things
I am training for my first bikini competition in November 2023. I still have 25 pounds to lose and 10 months of training before hitting the stage! I am so excited and look forward to my continued transitition! I have been working 2 jobs, part time so I can have more flexibility to be availalble to help my mom. Money has been tight especially with the added cost of competiting. NO matter how tough it gets, or how many mistakes I make, I am not giving up! This is the first time that I am doing something good just for me. Not for approval, a relationship, not for a job and definitely not just to get into skinny jeans. I am so out of my comfort zone but I know it's the only way to the best version of me and for that I am grateful :)
I have se lemon juice sometimes to clean fruits and veggies. I soak them with lemon juice and water in my salad spinner, rinse well, spin dry and lay on a paper towel lined baking sheet to dry completely.
I loved the grocery haul; Trader Joe's isn't as convenient a place for me to stop as, say, Aldi, but when I am in the area I enjoy stopping there.
I also loved the baby break! Luke is so precious and adorable~
I recently got off birth control, looking to regulate my cycle and get back all the nutrients lost. I’ve been diving deeper into my health and wellness. As I’ve been trying to eat healthier, I find grocery to be expensive for my husband and I. Trying to eat organic, wild caught fish, pasture raised meats and even supplements or healthier alternatives. I love watching your videos.
Hi Katie! I’ve recently gotten super motivated to finally lose that 50lbs! I’m currently down my first 5lbs and excited to keep going and not just give up! I really feel this is finally it for me. And I have you to thank 1000% for that. I’ve been binging your content over again to help me keep motivated. That $100 will help me in my new grocery budget for sure! I recently switched my whole house to clean eating and as a mom to 5 kids (oldest 7, youngest 9months) you can imagine that grocery bill is a scary sight haha. I could also use it to buy your peanut butter protein powder haha! I already have your vanilla chocolate, miss congeniality and wing woman, all are amazing! My husband has even started stealing scoops 😂 I feel so much better fueling myself with guilt free nutrition. I recently bought your new pink drink mix and it’s amazing! I’m excited to see the difference in my skin! I’ve been enjoying your workout app too, but that is my one area I’m struggling to stay motivated in, your quick workouts on their are perfect for my procrastination. Thank you for making these videos and being such a positive role model on the internet! I especially love the grocery hauls and what I eat in a day videos for inspiration! Sending love, grace, and positive vibes to you and your family! God bless! -Kelly
I got diagnosed with hypo a week ago and have found so much comfort and encouragement watching your videos! I was super overwhelmed and lost. Your videos have helped me a ton and I’m looking forward to watching lots more!🫶🏼💓 I’d love to see some easy gluten/dairy free recipes!
Katie love the baking soda tip! As a mom of three boys who are eating me out if house and home I could use the 100 dollars to buy the things this hypo girl needs, like celery juice, but just won't get for herself in the end. Love on that sweet baby boy as it all goes so fast!
Yes I agree on the baking soda tip! And how do these boys eat so much!? I’m so with you there!
Hello from Colorado. After caring for my elderly mom in our home for several years she has passed on…she had a great life. Was very hard on me while raising my two beautiful teenage boys. It was a wonderful thing but I just did not have time to take care of myself the way I used to. I am trying very hard to get healthy and feel my best again! Thanks for your tips and tricks. Blessings to your family. 💕
I have two kids and work full time, so it’s really difficult to prep and get healthy foods for me and the kids. Finding this channel helped me so much to help change some of the unhealthy habits I developed. I love all the recipes and staples that I can get to help continue a healthy lifestyle for my family. This gift card would help us so much to continue getting healthy foods.
I have been following you for a couple years now and your advice has impacted my health a ton. I was diagnosed with hypo 3 years ago and was in a world of hurt and confusion with what was going on with my body. Once I found your channel I felt like someone understands me!!! I try my best to meal prep and eat healthy my son was just diagnosed with a rare bones disease and now he is eating healthier as well. Win or loose, what your doing helps so many people. Thank you
Ps I love seeing you with your son, nothing better than being a mom!
Hi Katie! I looove Trader Joe’s too. Last year my health wasn’t that great and it drown me mentally and physically of course, so I started realizing that you really are what YOU EAT. This year I started appreciating nature more and what it gives us and started taking care of my body consciously, not to much for fitness even though I enjoy it but for my own wellness.
I want more fruits and veggies and your REWARD will help me a lot to enrich my body with food nutrients.
I am also preparing my body to start my pregnancy journey so it all connects together.
Great tip I’ve received: eat more of what God has made.
Did he made the avocado? Yes, so eat more of that.
Did he made the potato? Yea, so eat that.
Did He made potatoes chips? No, it’s processed a lot so eat less of that.
That’s how I think when I shop, MORE of what God made( whole food) less of what humans made.
- never said don’t ever eat process because ice cream is delishhh but LESS.
Thank you Katie!❤
I'm a grandma to 5, run three companies and very busy. I'm super ambitious, but to a fault. My own health has struggled because I don't say 'no' enough which takes away from self-care. I'm working on that though! In the meantime, I've gotten into the rut of placing orders for curbside pick-up, which, as you stated, costs way more and gives you less control in the items you are receiving. Often times, if I actually get to the store in person, I discover items I didn't know existed. Every little bit helps the budget, so grocery money is always welcome. Regardless, your videos are fun, make healthy decision-making easier and inspire me. Thank you!
I love your videos especially for busy workings moms! My husband and 2 year old sons name are Ryan as well - we live in NY state where EVERYTHING is extremely expensive!
I’ve been struggling with my hormones (PCOS + high cortisol) and have been slowly integrating new habits to support me on my healing/health journey! Learning about cycle syncing and how to eat more balanced, after years of restrictive diets, unhealthy habits and healthy eating confusion. The biggest barrier has been cost of keeping up with groceries and supplements. The 100$ Visa would help cover the cost of some supplements I haven’t been able to afford along with some healthy grocery items that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to buy. Thank you for putting out such great content for us, Katie! ❤❤❤
I like the baking soda tip too!! It's not complicated and time consuming..👍 Thank God everything that we need in our household is still available but I am bad budgeting😔 love your energy even after having a baby... It's a real life changing experience and a good support team helps a lot!!! I also wanna add that the food that you cook looks so delicious!! May God bless you and your family...
I found your channel 2 years ago when i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism & i must say you have helped me so so much. Thankyou! 🥰
Oh that is so great to hear! How have you been feeling? Anything in particular that you're still struggling with with your hypo?
I shared with my family, who just started their fittness journey🥰 I also started my journey today, FINALLY. Honestly, anyone here is deserving of your gift! I have been following you for about 2 years now and I have seen you and your family grow. You are such an inspiration to the tight-knit community that you and your team have created for us🤍
These past two years my family has been living with my mother-in-law. She does all the cooking, so I really don’t have a say in what we eat. However I try to do a little meal prep with limited room in the fridge. I’ve gain at least 20lbs from the stress of living with someone else’s home. However, we just bought a house and I cannot wait to start the LSF meal plan!!
I love this channel. Seems more genuine then other channels. I have decided to eat healthier for my health. Eating healthy is so important
I have been following, I think, now for around 7 years on UA-cam only as I don’t have any other form of social media. I also have hypo and I have learned a lot from you about nutrition and how to create a healthy lifestyle and maintain it. I have implemented many of your tips in my life. Ty for your hard work!!! ❤
Thank you for your tips! Wish we had a trader Joes around my area. Closest one is 3 hours away in KC. Very nice of you to help others with groceries. Buying healthier food is more expensive so this would be a great opportunity to encourage someone to get healthier food even when their on a strict budget. Keep up the videos. We really appreciate your help and experience. More videos of meal prepping is always a great addition.
I’m a huge testimonial of how your cookbook changed my LIFE and helped me build my own recipes too! 100lbs down now, I’m also a newly single momma of 3 boys. I’d love to put this towards some self love for me and more of your products to keep me healthy and on track🎉🫶🏼so thankful for you! I feel great and that’s a big deal when going through a separation
Megan! It's seriously SO amazing to hear about all of your progress. I'm happy that the cookbook could be a tool to help you achieve all of that. You made it happen, proud of you!
Our family recently found out my husband is pre-diabetic so I'm working to help his diet before having to try meds. I also have an autistic son who is very sensitive to textures & tastes. It's definitely challenging & there are 4 of us so I have to prepare some different foods for every meal.....which definitely gets expensive.
Your husband can definitely reverse his diabetes. Just google what veggies will reverse it. Bitter veggies and juice will help.
This past year I have been trying to lose weight and eat healthier. Your UA-cam channel has really help me find that new motivation and tip that I need. I would love to win to help carry out the trend of buying healthier foods and meal planning. I also love watching to find ways to save while doing it and time management.
As a student who's planning to go to vet school, having cost effective ways to save on food and food waste is super important! I would love to use the gift card to implement these food storage tips and have healthy food on hand to continue my fitness journey!
I'm a mom and sole provider to a family of four. This gift card would help tremendously. Starting my health journey with the Hot body meal plan and getting my kids on board to eat more fruits and veggies is gonna be pricey on the first grocery trip. So sweet of you to do a giveaway like this! 💓
I just started changing the way I heat to eat healthier. I need to get fit so I can be a role model for my daughter. No diets just clean healthy eating. Thank you for inspiring me. PS the gift card would really help on my journey. Appreciate you.
Thank you so much for making this video. I just started my journey of eating healthy. I am a single mom of two and can’t wait to look and feel my best.
Literally all of my money goes towards groceries! I need to be better about creating a list and budgeting for what I buy every week. This video gave me all the good, PRACTICAL tips! I love to be as resourceful as I can throughout the week so nothing goes to waste either! Like when I chop up celery for snacks, I use the leaves and ends to make into celery juice for the week. Love this type of content!
I’m a medical resident working 80+ hours a week at a county hospital, which means my salary ends up being lower than minimum wage if you calculate it out per hour. Working so much and living alone makes it so hard to stick to a healthy lifestyle, but still do everything possible to try! I’d love to see more quick healthy meal videos!
Winning would just be such a huge blessing! I would like to see more videos of easy on the go breakfast and lunches that don’t take hours of meal prep if possible!
Every time I see your videos, it puts me in a better mood 😊
Love that!
Husband and I just graduated from college, trying to have a baby, started two new business' from home, trying to be as healthy as we can be! We live in NM and our monthly grocery budget is $150. This visa gift card would help us with nearly that entire amount! I've been following you for years, thank you for all the knowledge you share with the world!
Trying to start to fix my thyroids and seen your video make me realize about gut leak and I might have that same issue. Very happy to find you and now need to clean out my refrigerator and buy new and clean groceries
This card would help me a lot this month! Our budget is already running out and I am going to be starting a strict elimination diet very soon to try and get a little relief and some answers for my chronic illness, so this would go a long way towards stocking up on quality proteins and produce.
My husband and I decided to start going to the gym again and making better choices. We would like to make sure our 2 boys have parents for a long time but also make healthy choices as well. We don’t have a trader hoes close to us so healthy choices for us are more expensive. I love all your tips and tricks, as well as, all your work outs ❤
I love your tips & tricks! I am a household of 1, and it's so tricky buying/cooking for 1 serving size or 2. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!! The big challenge for me is having some leftovers; but not too much that it gets old before I can eat it. I did enjoy that you bought protein you could freeze for later, the quinoa pasta was new to me - I didn't know they made that product, and learning more about the benefits about bone broth was very interesting. I learned something new from you too about which oils you should & shouldn't heat. Thank you for that burst of knowledge! I refrigerated my bag of lemons, but being just 1 person, I couldn't use them in my green tea fast enough, and they dried up. 🙃
I'm a teacher that teachers Zumba! I'd love to use this to keep up my healthy goals. I believe in eating for our bodies & still having fun with foods. I would love to try some new fun healthy meals!
I was diagnosed with Graves' disease when I 29. I had radiation treatment and now I'm hypothyroid. Your channel has been so very helpful on this journey. We don't have a Trader Joes near us, its about a 45 min. drive👎. However, a $100.00 card would definitely make it worth the trip, LOL! But seriously, congrats on motherhood and thanks for the love and inspiration to us all.
No Trader Joes here in the UK but as I mostly cook from scratch it’s not a problem we find Aldi is fab for fresh foods as well as frozen and we’re blessed to have a butcher who trades locally and delivers all around the villages. Fresh fish is tougher to get but there are some OK frozen options xx
I recently discovered a trick to put a wet towel or paper towel by your cutting board while chopping onions. The gases that cause tears are attracted to moisture. Hence- our eyes. It worked for me.
Love love love Trader Joe’s but unfortunately the closest one to me is like a 45min drive each direction. When I do go I stock up majorly with all my favs! $100 would go a very long way in helping with my stock up trip, which happens about every other month due to my budget.
Also a great way to help make your fruits and veggies last longer is the Rubbermaid fresh works containers - I tell you they help keep all my fruits and veggies fresh for like a week or more!! I eat a lot of berries and hate when they get mushy; gotta be crisp or in the blender they go!
“ all for my hypo girls out there” i literally love you! New subscriber!
So glad I found your videos. I'm starting a low carb and heart healthy diet and eating healthier does cost a little more but I have to do the diet for my health. Winning would be such a great opportunity to start my healthy eating journey.
Love your u- tube latest video!!Having a protien shake before shopping for groceries is my new thing this year!!You are right it really helps to not impulse buy.Only get from your list!!Food is really expensive instead of coupon's.I have been omitting item's until next payday to stretch my dollar!!
I take care of my 3 grandkids during the week and I’m transitioning them over to organic healthier options. The earlier you start them eating healthy the better! Because they’re growing they are hungry all the time!!!! Our grocery bill has gone up.
Working hard on my weight and health. My cholesterol has been the best it has in years!
I love watching your videos for new ideas. I’m a first time mom to a baby boy born Dec 2022! It has been challenging eating for me since having him. I’d love to get a fresh start!
Back in the fall I injured my knee and can't do my regular walks and trips to the gym, so I've gained 6 pounds. I'm doing many PT exercises to heal. In the meantime, the big challenge is not eating out of frustration. You've given me incentive for yummy food prepping and the gift card will help me buy lots of the items you buy. I'm also a big TJ shopper and live in Oregon. Love your challenge. Your baby is adorable!
Hi there! Love your videos! I am trying to really shift my health, mentally and physically, this year and live with much more intention. After a very challenging year personally last year, I am determined to make healthy choices that feed my body, my soul, and my mind to take back control of my life and happiness
I feel I deserve the giveaway, just as much as anyone else here, given the fact that groceries are so expensive. And It is Double expensive if you are buying healthy groceries! Actually there probably is several that need this more than me, so I'm super happy for whoever wins this!!
I'm a new SAHM to 2 girls (I have always worked. But because of daycare costs, I am staying home). I'm trying to get back in shape and struggling because of the price of healthy foods at the grocery store. I love your videos and guides! They give me so much motivation to keep it up ♥️
I have been following you for a couple of years now and can say that your advice has changed the way I eat. I no longer shop the snack isles and focus more on foods that make my body feel good. I am only 23 and groceries can be expensive right now. I would love the gift card to be able to buy some fresh fruits for my morning smoothies❤
I’ve been following you for a long time and I always come away with ways to support myself through diet and exercise as well as tips for living my best life. You keep me going and spread joy to all! Love you! More videos on meal plans, what I eat in a day, and supplement videos would be helpful.
I love your grocery hauls as they put me back on track with grocery shopping. I always watch them with a pen and paper so that I can add to my grocery list right then and there as I’m watching. Love your health swaps and meal preps as well.
Please choose me for receiving the gift card as I have to drive 45 minutes to Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods and I could really use the boost in gas and grocery money. Love your channel!
Oh my god, I just went grocery shopping last night. Food is so expensive. Thank god we can still use WIC but even with that it’s SO expensive. My partner gets food benefits every month but it’s NOT enough because we still have to supplement my sons nutrition with formula. He LOVES your oatmeal breakfast cookies with cashew butter! I work full time but most of it goes to rent & utilities. I refuse to let nutrition come 2nd or 3rd to anything. I do love the LSF protein too but it’s something I splurge on or ask for as a gift. I got chocolate for Christmas! Anyway I would love to see more of the morning and evening routines. Love those & the holiday treat ideas for different occasions. I made those Christmas treats like CRAZY & everyone loves them: my family, my coworkers. So great! Luke is SO BIG already! He’s perfect, oh my gosh!! 78 degrees in February?? NOT FAIR!!! It’s freezing here (Boston) Thanks Katie! Thanks LSF! I love my move app. I use it every day at the gym or at home on the weekends. Hugs to everyone who’s doing their best everyday. That’s ALL of us! ❤
I love all of you, re videos & am on a new workout journey.. trying to lose 20 lbs.. I’m on a tight budget.
❤🙏
I love how real you have been over the years! I also struggle with hypo and made it a goal to heal myself this year which means healthy foods! Unfortunately this can get hard with the prices, but can be done on a budget, like you you just explained in this video. Thank you so much for all your amazing hypo friendly meal ideas and tips!
Hi Katie. I am Gina I have 2 children. 7 months postpartum and this time around I am having a really hard time losing the weight dealing with binge eating at niight and can't wait to try your slumber party on our next paycheck . I found your UA-cam cha nnel recently and I haven't been able to stop watching. I love your personality and content. I am sure anyone you pick will deserve the 100 ! Thank you for generosity! Love, Gina
Hi Katie! Thanks for sharing. These are great tips! It’s so tricky buying and prepping for one. It feels like I’m always throwing away spoiled food before I get to it if I try to do one big food haul for the week or running to the store every other day if trying to be more aware of food waste, but then I end up buying extra stuff that I didn’t originally plan on because I’m on my way home from the office and hungry.
this is content we all need!!!! so many of us are struggling to buy groceries and what we need because prices are just crazy! but as someone who has learned to get the healthy foods that help me reach my goals and make me feel good, and keep me on track on a budget this was refreshing to see. as always, katie, your videos are good and refreshing! i think i could definitely benefit from the grocery money because then i could try a new switch up to my normal routine! thank you for always trying to help and support us girls!! in all aspects 🤍✨🥹💪🏼 much love, lil moment of luke was precious!
The baking soda hack is amazing, I can’t wait to try!
I have been working on my weight loss and just “feel better” journey and my struggle is being able to afford healthier options since the prices of everything just sky rocket. I put my two boys needs before my own which makes it even more challenging!
Love seeing a solution to cleaning/storing berries, I normally wash as I use them which is almost daily, it gets a bit tedious. The budget advice is much appreciated, with 2 kiddos it becomes a challenge to accommodate everyone's grocery wishes, stay healthy, & on budget... usually, they're the ones accommodated lol! Stay well, everyone!✌🏻🩶
Whole Foods where I live is the cheapest grocery option. I buy through Amazon prime for delivery. I’ve priced it at different places, and it’s always cheaper at Whole Foods. People think I’m crazy when I say that.
13:21 Hey Katie! I love following your journey! I would love to win the $100 gift card so that I can continue to fuel my body with healthy staples. I have lost work recently(my Dad has Stage 4 Cancer and had 2 medical emergencies within 3 weeks) I’ve been forced to depend on food banks for food. I quickly learned that food banks only give out expired foods and even moldy vegetables. Being selected winner would give me the chance to purchase fresh & organic produce & food. Thanks for always being an inspiration Katie!
I have been in my fitness and healthy journey this year mostly for health reasons and have been doing great and barely having alcohol but groceries are sooo expensive especially for a 24 year old only two years out of college so this could be an amazing help ! Love your vids can’t wait to hear more about Luke
As a mom of young twins, trying to make healthy meals for picky toddlers is SUCH a struggle, before you consider cost! So I’d love to have some extra money to make sure I’m setting them up to succeed at a young age!
Great Video. Never knew about the baking soda hack.. I will have to use that. Groceries are definitely expensive. I am down 23 lbs and can always use extra money to focus on eating healthy..
We spend so much at the grocery store. We shop every two weeks, so try and get enough so that we don’t have to stop during the week for one item. I’m vegetarian and my husband is not so much harder with two different meals needed (mostly dinners are the hardest).
I love your videos because you have so much useful information about different products. Please do more meal prep videos.
Great video! I had surgery a couple months ago and haven’t been able to walk and I haven’t felt well from the surgery. I am just trying to get back into a routine!
Recovering from major surgery and now a corrective surgery which was no more successful I put such of my energy into schooling my 4 boys it would be such a blessing to get some more nutrient dense groceries in.
Hi Katie, I've been following you for a few years now and might I say I absolutely love your channel, it has brought so much motivation into my life. I have hashimoto's, I was doing good shopping healthy foods for a while up until recently. It's gotten to where I cant afford to shop healthy foods now everything has gotten so high. And after I pay rent and Bill's I barely have enough left to buy groceries. My health has started declining since it's hard to buy healthy food these days. I just want to be healthy again😔 but, I will continue to watch your videos bc you are an inspiration and I thank you for everything!❤
Love your videos! Great tip about washing blueberries with baking soda. Never thought to do that. I get blueberries and strawberries every week for myself and my kids and wash them right away and put them in the refrigerator. Having healthy food washed and ready makes it easier for them to reach for instead of junk. Food prices are crazy expensive right now. I’ve always been a healthy eater and try to find healthier alternatives for my four children which is hard sometimes when healthier food sometimes tends to be more expensive. Having a $100 gift card would be so helpful right now. I would love to see more grocery hall videos and meal preps. 😊
I have been on such a horrible food rut with buying cheaper (unhealthy) groceries to get by. This gift card would be so helpful to get back into buying good for me foods for myself and my family! P.S... love everything you do!!! Thank you!
The giftcard would be so helpful for me because like you said, I have also been spending soooo much on groceries lately!! It would really help make it so that I can continue to try and buy all the healthy foods that I need to live a healthy lifestyle.
This is perfect because I've really been on track to eating better but I do agree that it's more pricey to do so. The $100 gift card would help so much! Thank you for the opportunity. I'm also getting back on a routine for working out. I just want to feel better in my body especially as I get older. If I'm not taking care of myself, I can definitely feel it.
I would love to win because I’m a teacher and it’s been so hard to make the time to meal prep for the week since there are so many things to get ready for the next week. I would love to go on a grocery shopping haul to try a bunch of new to me recipes! I’d love to see more grocery and meal prep videos!
I have been following you/watching your videos for a year or two now and I seriously have loved everything you have made along with vlogs with your everyday life stuff 🤩 Your cooking/ meal prep videos gave me such inspiration and help live\love a better healthy life! ✨✨ I really loved this video, specifically showing how you wash your produce and suggesting putting foods away how you find them in the store! I never thought of it like that so thank you for that advice ❤️ I would love to see more videos of meal prepping! I alsoooo can't wait for future videos when you start making things for your little one because I'm always trying new recipes for my two toddlers and I can't wait to see what I separation you give me when that time comes 🤩🤩
I would be so grateful for the grocery card! I’m a new mom and juggling school as well! It’s been stressful but I’m trying to eat well to set an example and feel like myself again 💕
Thanks for the give away. I always enjoy watching your videos. Being a mom of 2, I am always busy with the kid so sometime i forgot about taking care of myself.
I am so glad you did this video, I am always so confused along with how to wash 🧼 my fruits and veggies
Living on a single income with 4 kiddos right now. My fiancé had knee surgery and has been off work for 6 weeks and will be off another 2 minimum. Would help take some extra stress off this momma!
I love your tips, your ideas and find it very helpful to me...
I'm so glad!
Any help I can get feeding our family of four in a healthy manner with the continuously increasing cost of clean food would be helpful!!! I would love to see quick workout videos for newbies.
Such great content! I live in a small tourist town where wages sure don’t match the grocery prices. I could stretch $100 a looonnng way on healthy groceries for my family of 4!
I was recently diagnosed with Brain Cancer again….yes it came back 🥹 I’ve been eating so much fruit lately and obviously trying to stay as healthy as I can! This gift card would help so much!!❤
I love these tips!! I am trying to eat healthier and shop at TJ too so it is SO helpful to hear how much you spend and what you buy for healthy snacks. I am inspired by your list, also can't wait to try the Heart of Palms Pasta! Also, LOVE the baking soda trick, totally trying that.
I’m a working professional single mom who is trying to set an example for my 2 girls with healthy lifestyle choices. I want to show them how eating healthy makes the difference as a lifestyle versus restricting to just protein, which has led is to binge on sweets because we lack energy. I love your healthy sensible easy to understand channel!
congratulations!
I love your grocery hauls and meal prep videos! Your channel is my favorite for those videos!
Hi Katie,
Well, where to begin...on my journey with you, I've lost 75lbs. I still need a few more to come off. You've taught me how to eat clean amongst other things that, unfortunately, my parents and family never shared growing up. Wasn't the thing, I guess. Anyhow, with what I've gained, I was able to share with my daughter and boyfriend. And because of you, we are healthy. We all second guess what we want to eat versus, wait a minute. " What would Katie do? "..Lol!
Having this gift card would help a great deal. We just had to sell a vehicle as my daughter's tuition for dyslexia school is outrageous, along with some other struggles we are having. I just know that I gave up on some things for myself so I can fund and give my daughter what she needs. But this Momma wants her groceries....Thankyou, Katie
Love your videos! I just had my second baby a few weeks before you had your sweet baby. I had the worst pregnancy experience this time around. Lost 30 lbs because I couldn't eat anything. I'm really seeing the consequences of this now. I'm anemic and my hair is falling out in clumps. Winning this card could really help out with getting more nutrient dense foods.
I am allergic to vinegar, so I normally just wash my fruit/veggies with water and hope for the best, lol. I never thought of baking soda. That's going on my list! Trying to meal prep while feeding my husband and two kids is a challenge but as I'm going through HBMP makes things a little easier. Finding groceries on a budget is helpful too!
Your hair looks great and loved seeing your little boy!
Love your Grocery hauls so much! I hit like before I'd even started watching x
Yay! Thank you!
Love this video! I am the only one that has to eat a certain way, low sodium plant based, for health reasons. Groceries are so expensive here and as I see everywhere else too. If I win, it would really help me afford those better options for me and be able to get stuff that the rest of my family eats too. Good luck to everyone!
