We all need to save money while shopping for groceries. But I find I still have to use discipline when buying on sale items. Sometimes bargains are so good that I buy them not really having a plan for using them before the expiration. I especially attempted to do this with frozen foods ignoring the fact that even they need to be used in a timely manner. I am learning, and I am saving. Great show. TY
The trivia gadget is for shredding meat such as pulled pork or chicken. I enjoy your show and have learned some useful stuff. Keep up the good work, my friend.
Meat Shredder pull meat off the bone for BBQ & Chicken Salad...Good show.🎉✅ Thank you. Do 2 shows a week if you have tim..,they're calming & fun, appreciate them. 😆
I think they may be meat tenderizers but they could be used as salad servers. I have wooden "bear claws" which are used as salad servers. My wooden bear claws strongly resemble the gizmo you are featuring.
The purchase price of grocery items is certainly a factor in eating economically. The other parts of the economic picture, such as eating food that is healthy and tastes good, are more complicated than grocery store price comparisons. Even though your food budget can be dramatically resuced by only eating rice and beans, most people don't want to spend the rest of their days eating rice and beans then switching to beans and rice. The challenge is maximizing meal quantity and minimizing the total preparition time. Time vs meal quality are similar considerations restautant kitchens face. For home use there is a a more time effective solution . Many foods can be purchased in bulk, processed in bulk, then stored in a freezer for future meals. This requires an investment in equipment plus an investment in learning how to cook in a time effective manner. For example, if a person likes pasta with tomato sauce. each meal can be prepared on a daily basis using fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic and other ingredients for every meal. This can work in a restaurant kitchen due to the number of meals prepared each day, but in a home kitchen it is far more reasonable to have the knowledge and equipment to make the sauce from fresh tomatoes in bulk quantities. Purchasing jars of premade pasta sauce is extremely expensive and, once learning the cooking, storage and reheating processes, unnecessary. . I make tomato sauce using about 60 tomatoes and a 5 pound bag of onions plus other ingredients. I end up with 4 to 5 gallons of sauce. After setting aside the sauce for current use, I freeze the rest for future meals. When needed, the frozen sauce is thawed out in the refrigerator and heated. Many meals can be processed this way with no noticable reduction in meal quality. This is a piece of equipment I use to make chunky sauce: ua-cam.com/video/LqrDAutPxw0/v-deo.html This is the equipment I use to make mirepoix. This is the base for many of my sauces: ua-cam.com/video/5JZz3S7RRb8/v-deo.html
I like to avoid purchasing ultra processed foods in favor of simple, whole foods that we can prepare from scratch. I also stick to a list and a budget. 😊
Walmart pick up has been a complete game changer for us. We have a hardline maximum food budget (including non food grocery items like cleaning and paper goods) of $70 a week for 2 adults. I spend the whole week building the order and if it goes over $70 I will remove items that are not necessities or can wait until the next week. This keeps our grocery spending at or under $280/month. We eat plain food that we cook at home. We don't overeat. We don't waste ANYTHING. We limit meat meals. We plan carefully and execute the plan. We don't eat out or eat take-out. We use the Walmart Cap One card (5% cash back on all Walmart orders placed online) so that saves us an additional 5% on every grocery order (paid in full monthly). We earn $15/month cash back to apply to the balance.
This is genius! It’s so easy to overspend when ordering online; I love how you use the convenience of it to actually be disciplined and stick to a budget. Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea. Happy cooking! 🙏

And they are bear claws or in other words meat shredders.

I'm a pretty big Aldi fan, can't get everything there but the staples are usually excellent quality and very low cost.
Agreed! I find their meat and dairy products remarkably good quality, too.

Meat claws. You can demolish a cooked to tender pork roast or pulverize chicken breasts.
Those are meat shredders.
I feel like this is common sense
