How To Prepare For A Monthly Grocery Restock | This skill has saved me hundreds!

#lifeskills #groceryhaul #howto
Having a plan when grocery shopping has saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars over the years! Shop your local grocery store deals, write out a list of things you need, stock up on staple items that are versatile, and set a budget!
When I first moved out I made the mistake of over spending, over purchasing and wasting way too much food. Having a written plan and a set budget has helped me out tremendously. Plus I started shopping where I would get the best deals!

I am so grateful for videos like this.I had an alcoholic mom and never met my dad so I taught myself just about everything I know when it comes to cooking.I really don’t understand still how to grocery shop

[@SimplyaBrees]

I am happy my videos have helped you out, that is my whole motivation for this channel! I am sure you have done the best you can with what you had and I admire your drive to learn these things! Thanks for watching!

Don't feel bad, I don't feel good at it after 35 years, and didn't start out with the challenges you had! One thing I find super helpful when I end up w a collection of "random" ingredients is to search Pinterest for recipes with one or more of them. It's been a lifesaver for me! 🤗

[@KKreate101]

I’m so greatful for my Mom she taught me how to shop, how to figure price per ounce. It has helped me tremendously over the years.

[@SimplyaBrees]

That is awesome and such a useful skill to have! Moms are truly the best!

[@PlowAndPantryHomestead]

I'm the same way with the list! It's embarrassing what I can manage to forget without my list. 🤣

[@SimplyaBrees]

Same! It's like I walk into the grocery store, and my list in my head just dissappears 😂

I am in a much different stage but I budget $200 for our family of three monthly. It is a hard budget to maintain with current grocery pricing but we make it work by shopping sales and making many things from scratch. It is a harder thing to do when you are just starting out but I suggest trying one new skill or practice that might save you money and add a few habits a year so that it isn’t overwhelming all at once. We save lots by meal planning based on what is already in the house. Great video 😊

[@SimplyaBrees]

Thank you for the support! 🥰 Yes, I am learning new ways to save constantly. That is a tight budget, but congrats on making it work!

[@rochelleb973]

I definitely budget. That's why I like putting it in the cart, it adds it up as I go

[@SimplyaBrees]

I'll have to give that a try one day to see if I am going to be within budget!

[@rochelleb973]

I put my.list in my walmart cart, and delete as I get each item. Or, walmart delivery because I don't want to go🤷‍♀️😀

[@SimplyaBrees]

Both are great ideas and the delivery option would personally save me on impulse buys!

[@amandasnailtasticnails9657]

Know your bottom price that you’ll pay. Not all sales is a good deal. Shop the perimeter of the store.

[@SimplyaBrees]

Yes 100%, I plan on going into that in future videos, such a key piece of information!

[@AllThingsKimberlyWV]

Good morning. Great video. Just subscribed❤

[@SimplyaBrees]

[@rochelleb973]

Gm. I love your tee shirt. I have it.too lol

Thanks, I love how soft the shirt its!

[@gaylewillett1637]

Curious if your freeze dryer is something you use often and how cost effective is it? They are expensive, especially for two. I purchased a dehydrator which I really haven’t dived into yet but it’s on my to do list.

[@SimplyaBrees]

The freeze dryer can be cost-effective depending on how you use it. I use it for making our own shelf stable camping meals, food preservation since I am a gardener and as a means to reduce food waste (freeze dry before leftovers go bad). So I would say it depends on your purpose but with everything my husband and I do it has almost paid for itself.
