Hey the vintage appliances were built better anyway so I agree, keep them as long as they are working. 🙌
They are!
They don't make nothing like they used to so vintage items are the best! 😊
I use to menu plan every month. Got lazy about it. I finally went through my cupboards, freezer and fridge and wrote 30 meals on our dry erase board.I incude cookbook and page # if needed. Trying to use up what we already bought. I took an out of date happy planner. Covered up the yr. Been working on filling each month with things to make. Name of dish and where to find it. So I can once a month plan out meals. Meals not made go to top of list and then add in more. Have ingredients on hand for 7 meals.
Great idea!
Great job!
I buy frozen fruit, veggies too. They keep better and the quality is always good. I love having good kitchen tools! 💯 Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
Yes! Thank you!
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom me too, discovered how good frozen veggies, I used to waste a lot of fresh veg, now I have a freezer full of vegies and we eat a lot more now :)
I have an old metal strainer that is as old as the hills .i have used that since i got married in 1968 ! It was my grandmas ❤️
I’ve got 3 strainers, my grandma’s, my mom’s and mine. It’s fun to see them stacked together. And I use them for different things.
Another great tip is if you have vintage appliances that you don’t get plenty of use out anymore, listing them on eBay will surprisingly bring in big bucks. My moms vintage roaster literally bought me 4 new tires
wow
Wow! That’s awesome! I’m selling vintage trains for weekends away!
That's a great swap in my opinion!
It's not reusable parchment paper.
Those are silicone baking mats
you are right
I do not use my dishwasher for cleaning dishes I use it instead of a cupboard.
I love the fact that the racks roll out. I handwash dishes and let the dishes dry in the dishwasher
I just love your vintage appliances and kitchen utensils. They work the best in my opinion. We love our Ninja and Bullet too. Thanks for the great tips and tricks. Blessings.
You are so sweet
we wash pots by hand and we put the rest in the dishwasher run it once a week to keep the pump seals lubricated!!! the one were using now is a siemens never any issues
Im limited on space, in the kitchen, so my dishwasher is broke, so i hand wash dishes, and place in the dishwasher, to drip dry. Have a blessed day. ❤😊, candice
I mentioned that to my mother, when her's was broken. I think it's genius. When I use my china that must be hand washed, I use the dishwasher to let them drip dry before I finish drying them.
Thank you
I love vintage gadgets! I have a potato masher just like yours, I got mine at the thrift shop a few years back and I have a potato peeler that belonged to my dad. He used that potato peeler the entire time I was growing up and I've been using it since 2006 when he passed. I'm 69 years old now and it still peels potatoes better than a new, modern peeler!
If you ever need a new one… I got a 3 pack combo peeler (potato, one for tomato skins and the 3rd to julienne carrots) they are SO sharp. Like a hot knife thru warm butter. Got them at the Container store about 5 years ago. Excellent quality
That is awesome!
@@cjhoward409 Thank you but I believe my peeler will out-live me! 😆
I love watching your kitchen videos because you use what you have and you keep it clean and you take care of your items and you think of ways to make your items last longer so that in itself is tips we can all use . Not just “OK buy an instant pot. It’ll save your money”.
So you don’t do that; you always give tips on how to use what you have, make it last longer and different ways to get more mileage out of the items and appliances that you currently possess. Love it!
I like that, too!
Thank you so much 😊
I’m vintage, I hope they keep me! ☺️
Me, too!
I will
I love all your vintage appliances Dawn. Have A Fabulous Day Everyone ❤
Thank you love
I agree those food chopper/presses are hard to clean.
The Yeti for hot foods reminds me of having a thermos in school and having chicken noodle soup or something in there.
I have that exact same potato masher. I got it from my mom. I use it to smoosh up avocado for guacamole as well. You're right it is heavy duty and well made. Something you rarely find these days.
True!
Frozen fruit and veggies just make sense now that I’m only cooking for 2 people. Got tired of stuff going bad. I also started making my own salad mix. It actually lasts longer than the bags.
Good to know about the salad bags.
Great ideas as always Dawn. I love your kitchen so much. Your floors are amazing. By the way, I have that same chopper. What I do when I am done with it is put it in my sink and let it soak with dish soap. I then take a bottle brush , (similiar to what you would use to clean baby bottles). I go over it several times. and it does a great job. I also spray coconut spray or avocado spray before I use it . That makes it better too and I don't seem to notice any taste diffence. The things we go through to save money. LOL. Cutting our own veggies is definitely saving us all money. I worked in a Deli for years. You would not believe the people who pay for conveniece....Thank you everyone for your great tips too.
My biggest money saver in the kitchen are the dinner leftovers. I find a way to create a totally new meal to serve a few nights later so it doesn't feel like we are eating the same thing AGAIN.
This is not a money saving tip. I just wanted to mention what happened last week when I bought organic strawberries. They had no strawberry flavor at all and to add insult to injury, they had a slight onion taste to them. They were totally unusable. I threw them away.
I am sorry to hear this
I live rurally, I take a picture and send it to the parent company. They always send a coupon to replace the spoiled fruit.
@@Smooshes786 Thanks, but it wasn't spoiled and I don't feel like bothering with it.
@@kimberlybush2219 where I live the $8 will be recouped- we have new drivers sometimes that don’t store the food correctly and scents carry in the truck. Berry folks appreciate knowing. Always send 2 coupons 😁
Yuck!
I did have one of those gadgets that chops food.
I had two, actually.
Hated them.
You need a lot of force to chop anything, impossible to clean,and I sliced my hands up bad trying.
Yeah,no
Exactly , I have that same veggie chopper , and it's hard to clean. Too many little grooves that food gets stuck in. 🙄
Exactly!!
I chop everything by hand. I need the exercise. 😀
You and me both!
I raised 7 kids with just a knife, cutting board and hand mixer. No one starved to death! 😂
@@GrannyLinnhonestlly I think that’s why our grandparents were in better shape than the rest of us. I remember helping my grandma with the wash. She had an old wringer washer and that took time. And she hung everything outside. I also hang 90% of my clothes outside to dry. I love how they smell and again… it’s exercise.
And all dishes were washed by hand, food was cut up by hand…. Etc etc etc.
Oh Dawn, I laughed out loud alone in this room! The Bundt pan. Mum moved closer as she should as time goes by…..she asked me where “my” Bundt pan is. I don’t have one. I told her i was waiting until hers wasn’t in use! Oh we laughed! I’m no baker, clearly! 😂
You can use the envelopes that bills, etc come in to write your grocery items on and put coupons in the envelope as well. I also made a spreadsheet grocery list with all the items we buy so it's easy to write quantities in and off you go!
Great idea!
Great idea!!
Agree about the value of frozen vegetables. Frozen snap peas and frozen brussels sprouts - great for weekday meals, cheaper than the fresh versions, and in my opinion not inferior to them, for cooked meals
My favorite chopper is the Curtis stone chop chop. I got mine off eBay. Plus it’s easy to clean.
I have an older food saver vacuum sealer that allows me to buy family size or bulk pkgs to freeze and save money.
Me too. Mine is white
I LOVE your videos! I have collected vintage cookbooks and kept most of my “now vintage” small appliances that I have used for forty years:) Another dear UA-camr directed me to a wonderful sandwich bread recipe and now I am baking 95% of all our bread. I also make most of our snack chips, along with 99% of our meals. Frozen fruit is wonderful and more cost effective - I have started experimenting with refrigerator jams, since the cost of jam is so expensive.
Will you share where we can find the bread recipe?
Great idea!
went shopping yesturday bought weat bread for 5.17 dirhams usd is 1.40 for 10.97 dirhams in usd it's 2.98 bought some aussie smoked bacon the good stuff 😋 thick sliced 28.35 dirhams 7,71 in usd. we will buy frozen is we can't get to a farmers market to shop and seal and freeze em ourselves. i never buy canned as it tastes like mush yuk
Why not just buy ice cube trays? They are not expensive at all.
Also,next time you need a new fridge,avoid the ice and water in the door models.
You had your new one about two years now.
It has broken down,how many times already?
That happened to us with EVERY frig/freezer we ever had. So when we moved 10 years ago and built our own house, we bought a frig/freezer with no ice/water maker. It’s 9 years old now and going great ! But I feel the same way about dishwashers. They’ve always given me grief too. I live more like my grandparents. Less gadgets.
And those ice cube trays work great. 😊
Yes, the older stuff is made better--hang on to it.
I have a magic bullet for smoothies!
I have my mom's bunt pan from the 70's too!!! I love it and use it often. It's an avocado green color. I think she got it from saving S&H green stamps !!
How fun
That's cool that you kept the vintage Bundt pan.
Thank you
After my mom passed away and I was cleaning out her kitchen, 😢 I was looking for her Bundt pan. Couldn’t find it. But I found a whole bunch of other things 😀
@@cjhoward409 I still have one and there are certain recipes it works best.
Buying food on sale and spending the time doing the food prep is the biggest savings; for me; not buying gadgets I don't need. Happy to have a few sharp knives now, not $$$. Had ready made taco meat and fixings for friend over on their birthday and dressed up some chocolate ice cream with coconut & peanuts. Lucky my friend is easy to please; have a coupon at the store for a free cake mix as I put in 2 birthdates in the profile. So I will surprise on another day with cake. (I was busy painting and doing taxes!)
You're very thoughtful!
We're still cooking with Revereware pots that my mother and Grandmother bought in the 1950s. And I occasionally buy Cutco knives and gadgets when someone pesters me to buy from them -- it's ridiculously expensive, but their products last forever.
wonderful
Once a year in the summer we have a man sharpen some of our knives. He does an excellent job and it’s cheaper than buying new knives. And they don’t need to be sharpened for another …. Well, not sure how many more years. Lol. We take 3-4 to him every Aug. he sets up at The Longest Yard Sale that runs down route 127 and thru our town.
I'm saving money by cooking! Novel idea, I know, but it does save and is so much healthier. I have the same bundt pan in burnt orange, lol. I'm not too much of a gadget person. I enjoy seeing all your gadgets and your kitchen. Thank you for the tour. Love to all, Linda 💕
I love you too
great content, I have my moms potato masher,rolling pin and ravioli cutter along with my original Faberware set of stainless steel mixing bowls that I received as a engagement gift, best quality, works well and I wouldn't trade them for a new one!
Sounds great!
I am jealous! Your kitchen is so clean and neat. I just cleaned out a corner in my kitchen that seems to gather too much stuff. I now have a bookshelf to house such things as boots, gardening gloves, gardening hats and etc. I will try this system out for awhile to see if it helps keep this area clutter free. I agree that items that service your needs should be kept even if the items are old. Thanks again for sharing. (Did you weather the storm last night okay (Monday 4/8)?
Thanks so much! 😊
I have several expensive small appliances that are just taking up space and gathering dust.
I do have to try more frozen fruits..seems more cost effective! That is great about the dishwasher!
Yes I have one of those choppers. It IS tough to clean!
Yes strawberry's go bad quick on me.
Do a breakfast bunt recipe money mom!
I need the parchment paper!
I would say 75% of my things in my kitchen is my moms and grandmas things. They last longer than plastic junk they’re making now.
Made 6 sandwiches yesterday for a picnic lunch to go watch the eclipse in totality. I used the bread bag to put all 6 sandwiches in. Why waste 6 separate baggies ? My mom always did that for trips. 😊
Love that!
My mother did the same. She always washed out the bags for other uses.
Your kitchen is so clean and orderly!
Thank you 😊
It's cheaper to run a full dishwasher than washing dishes each day
I do a dishwasher load every 2-3 days, not every day. Saves money.
@@sjbutler2330 That is what I do. It takes 2 to 3 days for mine to fill up since it's only me and my husband and 2 days a week twin great grandkids
This is true.
Love your ice maker, I really need to get one. Thanks Dawn. I always buy frozen fruits, a lot better.
Me too!!
We buy frozen fruit even better we buy bannana cut them freeze them
Love ya money mom thank you
Love you too
Great video ❤❤❤❤
Great video, Dawn. Love these videos on how to save with what you have
Thank you
I use the microwave to cook vegetables so I don't have to run the stove for to long, they are frozen so it seams to take longer to cook.
Love your videos, you are one smart cookie money mom! Have a great day! 💫💛
Thank you! You too!
Good morning 🌄🌞 blessings ☕❤
Good morning!
Interesting fact about a dishwasher is that. If you for instance want to cook swordfish you can put slices of meat inside aluminum foil and then put that aluminum foil in a sealed plastic bag.
Run the dishwasher for one cycle and the meat will be perfectly cooked.
Do not have a dishwasher in my new apartment. Did not care for a full sized one. Am considering a tabletop dishwasher that are about $300 on the market. Would help a lot with arthritis issues. Easy kitchen faucet hookup although I might get a two sided adapter to leave one part of the faucet available should I need it. They only take about two gallons of water, energy efficient. About the only thing I miss from the last dishwasher, was placing leftovers in a snug fitting jar. Top rack with the rest of the dishes. Warmed up food nicely.
I heard that but didn't trust doing it.
Wow
❤❤❤
My air fryer finally went kaput. I was so sad. I used it every single day. I miss it for cooking but I’m loving the counter space that’s opened now. Just like when my microwave blew years ago. I never replaced that. Still thinking about getting a new air fryer though.
Good point
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
I am going to look for reusable parchment paper.
I’ll have to check out the reusable parchment paper. Also, I don’t have a dishwasher so I don’t have that added expense
Those are silicone mats not reusable parchment
@@annkrull9894 thanks 👍
You are right
I just wrote out a list of 14 meals that I have ingredients for. I have finally started buying meat separate from my grocery shops so I can stock up when on sale. I have 6 legs of lamb, whole chickens, etc I have realised I get so much more meat with them. I would love to hear what you cook in your bundt pan for breakfast. I save by cooking from scratch, I have 4 men to feed so it is much cheaper this way.
Also the list you had on your fridge, is that broken down to what you cook Mon to Wed, I would really love to follow this system instead of cooking every night.
I've never had lamb. It always looks so good. You probably don't have leftovers feeding 4 men. I don't cook if we have leftovers. It may be on a Friday night that I claim smorgasbord night with all the leftovers of the week.
How smart
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom I just made 10 serves of dinner this morning, and they are in the fridge for dinner for the next two days. I love cooking in the morning and am so excited I have finished cooking for the day and the washing up is done too :) thank you for sharing that idea, will be doing it more often
I hide Candy in the empty dishwasher no one ever looks in there!!!!
I’ve been using a lot more frozen produce too. There’s very little waste and I’m finding I can be more creative with making a variety of foods when I have them on hand in the freezer.
Question Dawn! ~ that little chopper with squares ~ where did you find it/ what brand is it? I’ve had three different models of that and they don’t work very well. Really, all I want it is to chop onions.
I do not remember the brad. I got it at Target. It is hard to clean.
Use my nutrition bullet, pur water container , have one of those hand mashers,vintage definitely the best
I think vintage things are better they were built to last
Hey Dawn Great video😊
Thanks for watching
I, coincidentally, started buying frozen fruit over the winter. Moreso, cuz of cost vs cost of fresh.
If you crumple the parchment paper it will lay down.
Your kitchen is adorable, Money Mom! I love cozy, tidy places. I'd love cooking there. Good job keeping it organized 👍🙂
Thanks so much! 😊
Prioritise organise❤❤
Yes 😊
💖💞💖💞💖💞
A plastic potato masher??!!
I thought the same thing!
Yeah fresh fruit from Aldi isn’t our favorite. I typically go to Sam’s or Target for bananas, a bag of honey crisp apples, and a bag of halo mandarin oranges each week which are pretty good. Other than that, I swing by a nicer grocery store chain (like Wegmans) a couple times a month for cotton candy grapes (the best!), watermelon, or a mixed fruit tray (which is a treat) 😊 I also like to get applesauce and frozen blueberries and strawberries from anywhere…
I had one of those vege choppers and ended up donating it, because it was too hard to clean.
