I have the Know Before You Go book and I love it. I work full time and have 4 kiddos so I can only shop at about two stores per week and I can’t track all the sales at every store. BUT, it’s so great to know that lowest price of my go-to items when I see them on clearance at Ralph’s or see them on sale at Costco. This week I got 10 boxes of clearance cereal because I knew from my price book it would be about $0.20/oz at Costco and it was $0.05/oz on clearance at Ralph’s.
I love my know before you go also
I spend about 100 a week for 2, sometimes 3 (grandson). But i find now i can afford organic fruits/veg, healthier lunch meats, organic milk. There is also a discount grocery near me i go to for snacks, organic cereal, frozen fish raised in usa sometimes. We also raise our own rabbits, quail, chickens, pigs, steers and we garden and i can and freezedry. I also forage for "weeds" to dehydrate and make healthy teas like dead nettle, goldenrod, and dandelion my fav!
I hear you about green peppers! At the end of summer I buy green, red ,yellow and orange peppers in bulk and slice then in straps and make small.packs of some of each ki d and freeze them for over the winter.
I love freeze drying!
I add those tortellini’s ( cooked) to my pasta salad. Everyone loves that salad. The tortellini‘s just puts it over the top.
Loved this so much. Ty kimmie.
Kimberley thank you for sharing your vlogs much appreciated by us all ❤️ ❤
Lots of wisdom here! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kimmie & Mr. Toodles You guys are the BEST‼️💯 TFS Always 🙏
Thanks for being here!
I found the pineapple spears in coconut water at the local Grocery Outlet and our family is addicted to them now. I love the know before you go book. It helps a lot especially when you are on a tight budget.❤
Kimmi can you share what you use for your lunch charcuterie board please I need ideas that aren’t crap food for me!
I'm a mother of four... and I don't think I've ever paid $800/MTh for groceries.... I have no idea how you find the time to do all that you show on these vlogs but I never could working 50hrs a week, Church, grandchildren... etc. Kuddos to you for being able to do this!!
Hi Kimmy , I love the salad topper 👍🤗🥬🍅
right?! It's so good, and very versatile.
I bought the spiral sliced ham at Kroger, they had the honey or brown sugar hams, and I bought 2 of the brown sugar hams for .89 a lb! Saved almost $50 on the hams alone and it's so good!
My local store had Smithfield hams $0.97/lb i snagged the last one after Easter and tossed it in my freezer! Plus i had $10/$50 so i technically got it even cheaper with my other food necessities.
My go to indulgence at Sams right now are their cookie clusters, its in the candy isle, cookies pieces & kettle cooked caramel covered in milk choc...ohhhh mahhhh gawwwwwd...dangerously addicting.
butter here in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada is almost 7 dollars but the organic is over 9 dollars a pound..Honey crisp apples are 1.47 a pound at Walmart right now. We dream of prices like yours here.
The lemon meringue cheesecake looked lovely. I bet it tasted good.
In the UK Costco isn’t available to everyone.
In different supermarkets here we have advantage cards where you can save money on certain items & at Tesco you receive a coupon with a certain amount of money that you can spend in the shop.
For Easter I bought some hot cross buns & a couple of days ago I bought a Lindt salted caramel chocolate egg - one of my favourites. It was half price.
Hi Kimmy always good to save on your shopping bill. we took advantage of the Easter savings especially with the meat and veg produce they were selling most veg for 15 pence per item and we bought big joints and cut them in half so we now have five Sunday Roast dinners. some great savings i now buy my wash pods and toilet rolls from the Tik top shop save quite a bit. love to you all Julie xxx
My Walmart had the Sams Choice spiral cut hams on sale for a 1.00 a pound. I bought two and put one in the freezer.
❤your channel. I watch all your videos. Thought me a lot here in South africa
Sams for the win! 🎉
Will you please share with us what you eat for lunch the mini charcuterie board ? Charcuterie is one of my favorite things in the world !
I would love to see this as well. My son calls my charcuterie lunch a toddler lunch😂
Kimmy!! You need to try the toffee coconut cashews at Sam’s. Delish and super addicting! Thanks for another great video! You’re the best!
I'll have to keep my eye out. I'm such a snacker. Those sound amazing!
Here in SW Mo. My town has costco and Sam's. I feel sams is much cheaper. Im starting to keep track and set myself a budget. Thank you❤
Our local Kroger had butter for $2.29 if you bought 5 or more. I stocked up on butter (bought 15#’s at that price). They’ll keep in the freezer until the next sale happens.
That's a great price!
@@shesinherapron I haven’t seen butter this cheap in quite a while.
bought a nice ham when it was on sale ... cubed it and canned eight pints for the pantry ...
You made me do the math and I just bought the same ketchup in Saudi Arabia on a big sale with a huge discount and it was equivalent of $4. Getting Heinz for that price was a great deal and I should’ve gotten it.
Comparing prices here is just crazy because almost everything has to be imported and that gets expensive. Some things are cheap. They have a lot. I think that flatbread can’t be more than certain amount so it’s less than a dollar for big package of flatbread. Sometimes vegetables are a great deal. We can get a package of herbs sometimes for $.35 equivalent. Depending on the herbs, some can be really expensive like sage or basil. I am getting a lot better at knowing what good deals are here though, but it’s taking me a couple of years to really integrate the prices and the times that things are on sale like my favorite tea or laundry detergent which every couple of months goes on sale for half price. The problem for me is they don’t apparently have laws about requiring that the price on the shelf is the actual price and they will not honor it when they screwed up and then they act offended that you don’t want to pay it. I chose that because it was a lot cheaper than what they now claim. Then there’s a little matter that some of the tags are just in Arabic and I have to really decipher them. My Arabic is slowly improving, but not enough to be useful in the grocery store really.
Your videos are homey and make me feel like I might someday get back to Costco. We have IKEA here, but it’s no Costco.
Love pineapple pie! Ham sale in West Virginia this year was :89 cents a pound. Same as last year. I was glad for that.
That is awesome! We ended up really liking the pie. Now I need to learn to make it. YUM!
Hello Kimmy! Awesome video as always 😉. Have a nice evening. 😊🕊️
PS…honey crisp apples are NEVER EVER that cheap around here 😂. And they’re my favorite apples ☺️.
I couldn't believe it! I hope you had a great Easter!
@@shesinherapron thank you, I did ☺️.
The salad topper is good mixed into your yogurt
Yum!
My closest grocery store is 10 miles away. In our county we only have one store. Food Lion. I can go to 5 other counties, they each have 1 grocery store, Food Lion. One Walmart 30 miles away. Then 60 miles to the other grocery stores. We do have farm markets that sell local fruit, vegetables, baked goods, cheese, fish, meat, butter. Some are cheaper or the same as the store and the quality is a lot better.
I have been to food lion a few times visiting the Carolina's. It's a great store!
Actually out of the grocery stores it rates near the bottom. They have improved over the last couple of years. There are a lot of things you cannot find, for a long time I couldn’t get baking chocolate only cocoa and chocolate chips.
Walmart ships a lot of items with a $35 minimum for free shipping. You may be able to get quite a few non-perishables shipped so you get the advantage of their low prices.
I would like to suggest a new cookbook called Scrappy Cooking by Plant You Carleigh Brodrug . It’s all about using up all your food even what you would think of as scraps.
Yummy 😋❤
My foodlion had ham for 99 cents a pound so I go two and put them in the freezer for later use the 1 I had from last year for easter dinner this year.
That's an amazing price!
I always love grocery hauls and it was so nice to hear you explain how you save money! Thanks for sharing
You may already know this, but for anyone else on here who may not...Sam's Club is like WalMart's version of Costco (as in it's owned by WalMart and is named after their Founder - Sam Walton)
Another question I have for you is if you did live close to an Aldi’s would you still shop Sam’s and Costco for most of groceries? I find Aldi’s to not be much more than Walmart most of the time?!
Some of us also don't have the time to run around to different stores to get what is on sale. Our local store does run sales and I buy things I use when on good sale. But I'm mostly stopping on my way home from work and don't want to run to Walmart and then Aldis and then Sams Club.
You can rotate between stores each week or do one big shopping day to all the stores that have month long sales and shop weekly at the store that changes prices weekly.
We just started shopping in bj very 2 weeks and we go to sprouts 1 a week for our produce we are a family of 4 but we spend 1000 to 12000 a month
So I just called my Costco and they DO have that lemon cheesecake ... so we know where I'll be going in a bit ... LOL. Thanks!
It's really good and really rich. A small piece was enough for me.
Do you ever go to WinCo?
Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us! I’m a newer viewer who loves grocery hauls and saving money. Just one concern. You mentioned buying Miracle Whip. Do we need to stage an intervention? lol 😂. I’m definitely a Mayo only gal. Please tell me that you’re at least saving a ton of money by using the icky stuff. 😉
😂 Of course I'm saving a ton on it. LOL Thanks for the comment Melissa an thanks for making me smile.
I started shopping at Aldis and cut my grocery weekly haul by 100
IF sams club was closer.. i would be going there more.. but sams is an hr each way.. so, walmart & aldi & misfit market for this one
😂 I thought we were getting a good deal when lidl's butter was 2.49/lb. We had to stock up over days because of limits. They have your card noticing that you just bought 2, so bringing cash may be helpful.
Walmart used to be the cheap store to go to. They aren’t cheap anymore. I find their prices higher than some other stores.
I get my Olive Garden dressing at Costco. I found that Costco gets 28oz 2-packs versus the 24 oz 2-pack at Sam’s. I don’t think it’s maybe a $0.50-$1 price difference.
Have you ever talked about your weight loss? If you have, I’d love a link!

Just curious but have you seen how much things have gone up in the last couple of years doing this? Is there anything in particular that jumps out of you?
I have a question for our esteemed Grocery Guru. As a rule I ignore best by dates; I’m very good at inspecting items and knowing if still safe to consume, with the exception of protein drinks. Can you offer any advice on Premier / Fairlife type products? Thanks bunches!
Great question. I looked it up and I read that most protein shakes have a shelf life of 6-12 months, depending on the brand and type. If the shake is past its expiration date, it's best to err on the side of caution and discard it.
It's also important to note that protein shakes should be stored properly to ensure their safety and quality. They should be kept in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight. If the shake has been left out at room temperature for an extended period of time, it's best to discard it, even if it appears and smells fine.
@@shesinherapron Wowzers, I didn’t mean for you to have to do research, just thought you might know. Can’t thank you enough for your input. This is the first item I’ve let get out of date., hope it’s the last. You’re the BEST! ❣️
800 a month o my good ness. i have never spent that ever, i had 6 people in the home for 11yrs and never spent over 300 a month. now i have 3 and i spend around 300 a month because prices have gone up and we eat good and healthy. i have a friend who spends around 700 a month for 3 people but she shops at walmart. i keep telling her let me shop for you i could get her bill down to 300 but she is obsessed with shopping at walmart. i dont understand how people can spend so much on food. i couldnt do it that would break my heart and give me a head ache lol
Those was alot of packaged processed foods. Lot of money for fake food
I was a Costco before Easter and No Banana’s 😢
Wow! That's weird for Costco
I definitely shop differently now that I have a stockpile. I always look at the next grocery flyer as soon as I can get a peek of it. I first look for things that are good deals on the foods that we eat. Then I look for things that I can stock up on. This week, there is nothing in the ad that I really feel that I must have...so I will wait until next week. Last week I went to a store called Ruler Foods and they get a lot of Kroger foods and will honor the sales that Kroger has. In fact, you have them scan your Kroger card and you can get gas points there as well. Last week they had the shank and butt hams (not spiral) for .87 pound. I got 4, 2 for me and one for my brother and one for my Mom. They had a dozen eggs for .99 for a dozen with a limit of 4. Of course I got the limit. Butter has been on sale around here a lot lately. Either Aldi or Kroger. They have been like $2.69 or $2.29 and I always get the limit. My husband just laughs and shakes his head when he sees me buy more butter, but I use it all the time.
and butter freezes so well! You're doing an awesome job Laurie!
@@shesinherapron yes it does…but it may be time for a 3rd freezer lol. Just not sure where I’d put it.
Oh my I just got today at Walmart Bell peppers .59 cent a pound. This is in Pennsylvania
That's a really great price!
I use the Cooklist app to track my pantry and my shopping list. You connect your grocery store loyalty numbers, so when you add an item to the shopping list, it is automatically adding the item to the connected grocery stores as a shopping cart. Total cost for the shopping list shows up for each store. Comparison shopping on steroids, all from the app. When I choose the Walmart shopping cart, it adds the whole list to the Walmart app and I schedule my pick up time.
And then the whole purchase is made available to add to my pantry. No more food storage rotation and inventorying headaches.
Definitely looking into this app! TFS!!
I tried to keep a price book, but prices are changing so fast that there is not enough consistency for it to ever be accurate. I’m about to give up. 🤦♀️ I will continue to check prices as I can though! Thanks for all the tips!
I don’t keep a price book because it didn’t work for me either. When I get home from shopping I write the price paid for an item on the package. I keep a stockpile so we’re not usually consuming all of something before I buy it again. If I see a sale in the ad on say tuna, I look at the cans on my shelf and see how it compares. If the sale is better, then I will buy as many as we’ll use before it expires and my budget allows. If it’s the same, then I might buy a few to fill my holes. If it’s a little higher, then I might pick up one just to counter inflation in the future. If it’s a lot higher, then I wait and buy none.
Can I ask who in your family is gluten free ?
How do you reflect the Costco and Sam’s club membership fees into your budget?
For my Costco card, which costs more than Sam's, I get money back every year with my executive membership. The check I get back in savings every year pays for my renewal.
The only problem I really have is meat. I would love to by bulk, but scared too. I live in Houston, Texas (right on the gulf of Mexico) - at least 5/6 out of the 12 months is hurricane season. We have 1 small income - enough to pay bills basically (mother-in-law starting to develop Alzheimer's), so if we loose anything we're done.
I live in hurricane country too, not texas though. I have chest freezers and I will only buy chest freezers. During our last hurricane we lost power for 5 days. I threw a couple of heavy quilts over my freezers for insulation. I checked my freezers once a day to see if anything was defrosting. Great thing about a chest freezer is because everything is stacked on top of each other it helps to keep things frozen so the first things to defrost will be on top. Nothing defrosted at all. But we lost everything in our side by side fridge. I also can. Have you thought about doing that. I like to keep my freezers FULL but when i find a great sale on meat (couple of years ago a store had boneless skinless chicken breasts for 88 cents a pound) i still stock up. I just can things. If what I bought isn't something I like canned, I will pull stuff out I do like canned and will defrost and can that. I love canned chicken, steak tips, roast, pork roast, and hamburger meat. They make for quick meals when I'm not feeling up to cooking. Steak tips and roast are my favorites. I use some instant mashed potatoes, heat up my meat and make gravy with the beef stock in the jar, a slice a bread and have open face beef sandwiches. Canning intimidated me before I did it, but now I love it. I also keep extra jars on hand just in case things in the freezer do start thawing so I can can it up.
@@PsychoSusieHomemaker729 My house is totally electric. My neighborhood is totally gas. When we have a storm (the local news has just said going to be a bad storm season) and we have long periods of power outage, I have to use a camp stove. We could possible use our grill, but it depends on the situation. I have been interested in canning. It's getting over the fright. I also have limited storage space. I have a stand up freezer besides my regular side by side. That's what fits in the space I have.
Do you recommend writing everything in pencil and then updating it each quarter or something to make sure you're current? Also, are you just writing down cost per ounce? Sometimes it gets confusing how different places price things. Also, do you have a threshold for what you consider a "good deal?" Also, do you not include household stuff in your grocery budget? I'm just curious. I currently do $800/month for groceries but that includes all toilet paper, laundry soap, paper plates, deodorant, etc. If not, how do you budget & track those items?
Great question and would take to long here to type in the comments. I will mention how I do this in an upcoming video. Thanks for the comment!
awesome thanks I appreciate it!
Winco is the best place to go for spices and dry goods. Do you ever go to Winco? I just never seen you haul anything from there.
Yes they do! There is one 15 minutes away. It's just not in an area that I need to be near anymore. I do stop in once in awhile. It's a great store, I just wish they would post their pricing like normal stores on line.
@@shesinherapron also they’re potatoes and produce is cheaper then Walmart. Lol what do you mean by an area you shouldn’t be in?
@@shesinherapron them not having online pricing is probably why they’re prices are cheaper. We hardly ever go to Walmart anymore unless it’s something I need in a hurry since it’s the closest store to me
I didn't say I shouldn't be in. It's in an area that in not in route to any spot I stop at, especially on errand day. It's an incovenient stop.
@@shesinherapron Oh sorry “it’s just not in an area that I need to be near anymore” I correct myself
But 15 mins away don’t sound bad.
But I think I see you now….. and where that is going.
Just a suggestion on the peppers. I chop them up and use my food vacuum sealer. Then I freeze them so that I can have them for cooking in the winter months. Best thing to do is buy them when they are cheap so you can prep them this way. They really do freeze nicely in the vacuum sealer bags. I also do this with onions.
There are no Sam's club anymore in Washington State. ☹️
That's horrible.
It's weird because when we moved here in 1989 Sam's club was still here and then it left.@@shesinherapron
you said you used to have 4 kids living in the home, i count 5 in the picture.
One is her son-in-law, he didn't grow up in her home. 😊
The other handsome man next to my oldest daughter is her husband.
One is her son-in-law
@@shesinherapron oh ok.. i didnt know how many kids you had exactly
She has four kids, but only two are currently living in the home..
I love how you save $$ but I see no way I can. We have one store, the Walmart. Grocery stores have closed. I have to drive 75 miles to a Costco or Sams. I have a Costco membership but use it mostly to have things shipped to me. So figuring gas to go 150 miles round trip, I don't have much savings. I have an Aldi's 60 miles from me that I visit sometimes. I don't understand when you say "digital coupons". What is that?? My kids are grown and just me and my husband but every time I shop, I say wow, we just need to stop eating it's so expensive!!
some stores have their own digital coupons that download to your loyalty card. I love your comment and will make a video on it.
A lot of stores ship things. Walmart, Amazon, Sam's Club, Costco are a few. Look for canned meat products such as salmon, tuna, ham and chicken. I have gotten some really good deals for my pantry online. We are a family of 6 and our budget is $800 a month. When I find things in bulk on sale I buy it. You have to make it a mission to shop for food. There are good deals to be found.
I have never seen pineapple in a glass jar
They're packed in coconut water. They're SO GOOD!
I’ve never seen storebought pineapple in glass either, but I do can my own once a year. My favorite aspect of it is that it doesn’t have that tinny flavor that metal cans do. Same thing goes for peaches. However, I wouldn’t say that canning my own fruit saves me money because it doesn’t. Pineapple costs (fruit, sugar, lids, time) are a wash even when buying them at rock bottom at Easter or Christmas. Peaches probably cost me more to can myself, but I buy better quality local fruits when they’re in season and the flavor can’t be beat.
Is this an April Fools?
Hardly any meat was purchased absolutely no eggs. Ham, bacon, 1 bag of meatballs, salami and polish ssusage. No wonder your grocery budget for 4 or 5 was so low. I don’t believe you are being totally transparent.
Sorry you feel that way but I am. If you watch my recent organizing your freezer video, I shared how I have a freezer where we keep our bulk meat. We get half a cow every year. You will also see in another freezer our bulk chicken that I got on a killer deal a few months back. The eggs (5 dozen) I shared in the second haul in this video. I'm always transparent and truthful. Thanks for watching.
@@shesinherapronmy apologies. I missed the eggs and the other video. I was wondering how you were having taco salads with no protein like beef or chicken. Once again I apologize.
$800 month for groceries, if you lived in real world 99% of country are lucky if they have smidge of that.
Also please remember I'm a small buisness that creates food content
It does make me sad that so many people have food insecurity. But I doubt it’s 99%. But here is a person teaching others to save… negative comments don’t help anyone.
@@colbye9084but most of what she buys are not healthy options, cereals, snacks sauces few vegetables and fruit
🙄
I live in western NY and for 3 adults spend $800 or less per month, it is possible if you follow her tips.
Living on a dime spend 400 $ a month , you spend more than double. Its shocking!!
We spend a lot and we cook a lot , we don’t eat out, fresh foods cost a lot.
Also I'm also a cooking channel so a lot of what I buy are for videos that we roll into our meal plan
I dont see a lot of healthy opcions here, sauces, charcuterie, snacks ,cereals @@TyMoore1234
@@TyMoore1234sauces, snacks, cereals, charcuterie as i see in this video are not healthy options
Living on a Dime is a bear bones very frugal meal plan. Not everyone needs to follow that tight of a grocery budget.

Oh my goodness you're so sweet. Thank you
Yes! She's gorgeous!
