Brownie Cookie Recipe- www.sugarandsoul.co/brownie-c...
For wedding showers I like to find a cookie jar at a thrift shop and fill it with baking ingredients like coconut, raisins, oats, chocolare chips, etc. I will often also add a few of my favorite cookie recipes.
Holly I LOVE this idea! What a great one! Thank you for sharing!
Loved everything and must add that this is the only channel where I read all the comments. It's like being a member of a team that's working together to help others reach their frugality goals.
Thank you! Yes, we are so very blessed to have such an amazing group of subs!! They are all so dear to us!
Agreed!!! Love this group!
I agree! Emmy's bubbly personality always brightens my day. She and Paul show that being frugal does not mean living a sad, dour life. Instead, you can have a lot of fun. But you have to plan ahead and make thoughtful decisions. I am trying very hard to learn to be more like Emmy and Paul. I really admire them.
Just loved that beautiful cookbook! I canceled cable tonight. The operator told me she kept her Mom’s old dress from the 1970s and wanted to make a pillow out of it but couldn’t sew. I told her to look up your channel and your no sew pillow wrap video. Told her about your bread recipe. Took her 5 min to get back to canceling my cable. True story. Blessings back to you, Emmy & Paul.👍
Oh wow! Love that story!!! Thank you! You are a blessing to us!
Such simple times weren't they - the highlight of every occasion was the people not the 'stuff'. Thanks for the memories. xx
So true Desiree! Thanks!
I use one gallon ice cream buckets to save my leftover vegetable, pizza and spaghetti sauces in my freezer. When I get two buckets full, I make and can vegetable soup.
Great idea Morrisa! Thanks!
popcorn mixed with chili cheese fritos changed my life
LOL! Sounds yummy!
How hubby and i save money might.sound counterintuitive.
We buy all our household supplies at once.
Cat food,kitty litter,toilet paper,cleaning supplies,laundry soap,feminine care,,hygiene,all at once.
Especially if really bad weather is headed our way.
We look at what foods we already have,and meal plan from that.
Make coffee/tea at home rather than buy out.
Save food storage contsiners,ziplock bags,reuse foil,wash sponges,
Mend clothes until cant be mended any more,then cut into rags.
Everything has multiple uses.
Great tips as usual Rochelle! Thanks!
You should learn how to coupon at cvs. Toilet paper cleaning supplies laundry detergent feminine care can be all free or dirt cheap
Yes coffee and tea at home can become a really nice snack. Pomegranate green tea and chai tea taste like luxury drinks.
One frugal tip I have is I use the plastic grocery bag and put it over the 13 gallon bag in the trash can, and it saves on the 13 gallon bags. I love hearing all the tips.
Thanks Tina! Have a great weekend!
I use those plastic grocery bags in my bathroom trash. Never buy them anymore.
@@greeneyedredhead61 Me, too!
Great tip to buy thank you cards for a shower and have the guests put their name and address on the envelope. Then use the envelopes to draw for a door prize. The guests do all the work addressing the envelopes and the guest of honor has less work to do. I also give stamps to accompany the thank you cards.
Love that! Great idea Trudie!
That tip about using the bag in the measuring cup for crisco or butter is SO SMART 😱
I loved that one too Emily!
I don't understand how this is frugal. It seems to me like it is just wasting a plastic bag where one is not needed. It might efficient, but I don't agree that it is frugal.
I boil a full kettle in the morning and then fill flasks and then use this hot water throughout the day for drinks,
Great tip! Thanks!
Another frugal tip for a dryer sheets comes from the blessed memory of my neighbor Miss Betty. She said take an old sock or wash cloth. Wet it, ring out the excess water, put about a dime size amount of the liquid softener you like on the cloth, blend the softener into the fabric by folding it in half an swish the damp cloth around a bit. Put that damp cloth into the dryer and dry your clothes. Repeat this step for each load. After about five loads put the piece of cloth with the fabric softener into the wash with your towel or sheets to soften the towels and sheets. Begin this process again and repeat about every five loads. This method will give you close to the equivalent to 500+ dryer sheets+. This method gives you a double duty use of the fabric softener. No need to add the softener in the wash when using this method. Hope this approach makes sense
Great tip Sherlyn! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Dear Emmy: I noticed that you always use charming bowls and plates and wondered whether you might do a video of some of your favorites in the future. My boyfriend and I love your videos!
Great idea! Thanks so much! Appreciate you both watching!
Thanks for sharing the tips from others in the community. I am frugal too and have visited many youtubers, some boring, some fake and some not very frugal in my book, so I don't return. However, you are real and creative with your youtubes and they are edited nicely, making them very enjoyable to watch.
Thank you so much for your kind words Mary! We are so happy you enjoy our channel!
I agree...plus she isn't vegan. I watch a few other channels and they are vegan...and you are right about the not as frugal as they claim. But Emmys channels is so nice and down to earth. Love it.
Hi Emmy! I am the subscriber that that was eating Mike & Ike’s while watching another of your videos where you recommended not buying sweets to save money. Next story: the other day I was looking at a receipt and trying to figure what what we had spent $6.98 on at Walmart. I figure to be nearly $7, it must be a household item. Nope, it was Dove chocolates 😂😂😂
LOL!!!! Favorite comment of the night! Thanks so much!! We ALL do that!
😆
So great to hear some new tips and learn from others who are frugal! ☺
Glad it was helpful. Sheila! Thanks for watching!
What great tips ! I love vintage cookbooks too. One of the best frugal cooking cookbooks I have is one from the UK, which let people know how to make the most of their rations during WW2 and other ways to feed their families healthy meals.
Oh that book sounds amazing Kay! Thanks for being here!
some stuff in the dryer doesnt need fabric softener-bath towels and dish towels-fabric softener actually interferes with absorption of water from your body or plates- and that bear in commercial on top of towels is just mit and his job is to sell you fabric softener
Marta I have never used softer or dryer sheets! You are right!
Towels dryer on a line is so much better...they dry rough and I love how it feels against my body after bathing.
Hi Emmy, thanks for the tips!! Here's a fun suggestion. U can search pinterest for 1950s recipes, retro recipes, grandma's advice to save $, best recipes from 1940s, and so on! So nice to have free recipes at hand, i remember early internet days - it wasn't that easy. Even while looking thru recipes saw banana bread sheet cake w frosting and German chocolate cake. As well as 1929 ish recipe for upside down pineapple cake!! Cute red couch BTW. Thx for helping us save!! 🍪🍪🍽
Thanks so much Sheema!
Thank u!!😊🍞🥪
Wonderful video! Thank you Emmy! I adore the vintage cookbook! I miss my growing up years and the simpler way of life! Am going to work on living more simply..
You are so welcome!
Wow! I am so enjoying watching “back” episodes of your channel! How exciting to find out I have the exact same 1959 cookbook you showed in this episode! My mom had the entire set of BH&G cookbooks! Over the years this Holiday edition is the only one that survived! It reminds me of my mom (who passed when I was 16) so it’s especially special. Love your channel! Thank you so much!
Oh so glad you have that wonderful memory! Thank you for sharing Wendy!
I also made your pasta dish tonight. I don’t remember which episode it was on but it’s so good! The capers really add to the flavor. I did add mushrooms (sorry, Paul) but they are my favorite veggie and I add them to everything! Please keep up the great work you are doing. I know I appreciate it so much!
Great ideas! I do not use kitchen sponges but I cut my steel pads (the scrubber things with soap in them. like brillo or SOS) into halves or quarters, depending on the job. It also sharpens the scissors. A washer repair man told me to use about an 1/8 of detergent of what the product says. Makes it last forever and the clothes get clean without residue. If you find your dishes aren't getting clean in your dishwasher (there's food stuck on) take out the sprayer arms and dunk them in hot water to flood them, There are usually bits of food that block the holes. Also, clean out the filter most of them have. It saves repair expense for them to do the same thing! I put them in a bathtub and flood them and then run til the bits are out and water flows freely. Thanks so much for all you do!
Great tips Michelle! Thanks so very much for sharing!
Skip the dryer sheets and order dryer balls from Amazon. They work great and I haven't bought dryer sheets in two years.
Good to know! Thanks Marissa!
To amplify the chocolate taste,add 1 tablespoon brewed coffee
Sounds great!
I love cutting my kitchen sponge so when it gets yucky, I throw it away. I love my small spatula! I saved this video for later to try those brownie cookies. :)
Those cookies are so good! Everyone loves them!
I have a frugal tip, you can make your own brown sugar at home. In a mixing bowl add 1 cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon of molasses for light / 1 cup white sugar and 2 teaspoons for dark. Mix with mixer on low speed for few mins. then store in a tightly covered container. I store mine in a mason jar. There is other recipes to make larger amounts too. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care and be blessed.
Great tip Mary! Thanks so much!
I Love to b rewatch the videos
Thanks Wanda!
I annoy my husband with my buggy clean out before I checkout. Lol 😂
LOL! That's too funny!
Take spinach and put it in cupcake containers and then freeze them up then put them in a Ziplock bag and your all set !!!
Great idea!
Another excellent video, ty! It would be great if you could start your videos off with a tip or two each time to keep us on our toes! Another tip: If you clean your mirror with just water and a rag and dry it with a towel, your mirror will look just as sparkling clean as if you used windex. I never get streaks.
Great idea! Thanks so much!
This is true. I have gas wall heaters and they cause my mirrors and windows to have a bit of film on them. I find using hot water cleans them better and keeps them cleaner longer than if I used Windex.
I have two sets of children’s cooking tools (a spoon, a spatula, and a brush) I used these to get the last bits out of jars and tubes. One set in the kitchen One set in the bathroom. It’s amazing how much is left in jars and tubes that look as if they are empty. The small size tools get the last bits out of corners that larger tools can’t reach.
So much is often thrown away in our jars and tubes for sure! Thanks Pat!
Love vintage things like your cookbook. Simple things are the best!
Yes they are Prudence! Thanks for watching!
Poor Paul....it’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it! Love the bloopers 😂
😁 Yup, he is such a great sport lol!!
Another great video both, thanks for sharing 👍 Another frugal hack ithat I picked up from Kim on 'Free to Family' is re-using the net bags that onions and other fruit and veg comes in, cutting them into pieces and using them as dish scourers/clean the oven. They're especially good if you need something that's a little abrasive but no so much that it damages the surface- Btw those cookies looked super yummy 😋
Great tip Bex! Thanks so much for sharing!
Emmy I have come to absolutely love you. I enjoyed the cookbook. I have collected old cokbooks for years. One of my favorite was written in 1912...How & Why to Cook. It's a hoot to read
Sounds so fun!!
i love everything you share, but these vintage cook books are precious!
So glad you enjoy them Susan! Hope you're feeling better!
My all time favorite cookbook is McCalls (green hard cover from the 70's). First one I purchased and not knowing how to cook (mother was a terrible cook) it showed me everything I needed to know from measurement meanings, roasting times, high altitude directions and many recipes I still use today. The front cover was lost along the way but it is still my favorite dog eared and all. Have a wonderful week.
Having that one special cookbook is so wonderful! Thanks so much for watching and you have a wonderful week as well!
I love using small ice cream scoopers to make all even! They look great!
I need to get one of those...we only have the large scoop lol!
I use the leftover flour from breading to make gravy to serve with the meal.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome cook book, I love it. Growing up in the 50 & 60 were so much fun. Even though my brothers both got Polio in 1954 we had some fun family times with very little. My Mom could stretch a penny!
Oh no Leslie I am so sorry to hear about your brothers! Your mom sounds like she was a great frugal influence!
@@FrugalMoneySaver yes she was. I’ll be 68 in May lost my job due to Covid, hubby 73 still working. My Mother and Grandmother’s canning, preserving and inventive and scratch cooking have really helped this past year!
I love your channel you and Paul help us see you can retire and live a fulfilled retirement.
I live in Pennsylvania where there are plenty of taxes, however we do have a lot of farmers which helps to keep food costs down in the Summer months.
I have that cookbook, too! It was my parents'!❤
Just saved the brownie recipe....looks like a keeper for days at camp.
Happy first day of spring tomorrow 💐🌷🌸🌺
You too Lillian! Thanks so much!
I made the chocolate cookies and used bits of dried cherries instead of nuts. Big hit with everyone! I had about eight ounces of the batter left, so I froze it and will thaw and bake when we have a yen for chocolate.
Yum! Cherries sound amazing in it!
Hi both
Sometimes I cut my sponges in 8
All jobs need different sizes
Cookies look amazing
And the book is the best
We have free magazines here in the UK at some supermarkets and yesterday I picked one up and it had a wonderful recipe for cheese and onion scones so easy we had them with cream cheese on and I made home made soup
I also made a biscuit refrigerator cake so yummy
Love to dixi xx ❤❤
Thanks for the tips Paula! Have a blessed weekend!
You too xx❤❤
Loved this!!
Thanks so much Lisa!
I collect old church cookbooks from garage sales.
Oh those have some great recipes in them!

Hey Dixiebelle,Paul & Emmy...Ritzi & I send 💖💖💖 & Cheer from Texas

Thanks for sharing the tips
You are so welcome Lorrena! Thank you!
I like the tip about the popcorn and potato chips and will definitely try the cookies. I love listening to you talk. Blessings!
Thank you so much Starr! Have a blessed weekend!
Another thing to remember when using an old recipe is that sizes have changed. What was 20 ounces can now be 14 ounces depending on product.
So true Dora! Thanks for pointing that out!
Thank you for all the information and the book I loved it!!!!!!
You are so welcome Elisabete! Thank you for watching!

Love your videos! Hope to try those cookies when we want another homemade treat.
Thank you so much Emily! Appreciate you watching!
Definitely will try making these cookies! Oh! I so love cookbook
They are so yummy!! Thanks for watching Jackie!
I do the dryer sheet thing - I also use reusable dryer sheets. I will now be cutting my sponges BUT I also like hand knit type of cleaning supplies I can wash or rags.
Yes, those that you can rewash are great too!
It makes me yearn for simple times as well.
Doesn't it though...Thanks for being here Kelli!
Love all your videos. We have young children and both work, it feels like we are always rushing around and not too mindful with some of these tips. We are really trying to be more frugal in the way we live. Your videos are so encouraging! Thank you 😊
You are so welcome Jessica! So glad our videos are encouraging! Thank you for watching!
Awesome as always. Sherry said Hi
Hey Sherry and Steve! Thanks for being here!! Have a truly blessed weekend!
I never thought about making brownies into cookies. What a great idea and easy too!
So delicious too Linda!!
Hello Emmy and Paul! Thank you for another great video. It is always a delight to spend a little time with you! 😍
It's always a delight to spend time with you too Jeannette! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing the cookbook, recipe and the tips! A positive outcome of the last year, was learning how to live more frugally, and more simply. I like seeing all of your vintage items! Have a good weekend, and Happy Spring!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
That cookbook had some fun recipes in there. Your cookies looked smashing (awesome!)
LOL! Thanks so much Ruby!
The cookies look delicious. I wish I could be your cookie tester. Paul is one lucky man. Thank you for all the viewer frugal tips!!
You are so welcome Mary Ann! Thanks for watching!
Another great one and the cookies. 😋 I have two boxes of brownie mix and all the ingredients in my pantry to make it.
They are so yummy!! Thanks for watching!
Paul you're one lucky dude, those cookies looks delish especially with some walnuts.
Thanks so much! He really loved them hence his little dance lol!
What wonderful tips! I like the baggie in the measuring cup tip. Those cookies look so tempting. I had that cookbook at one time but I needed to downsize my cookbooks because I was moving. At one time I was collecting all those individual cookbooks because I thought it would be something I could also use.
Melinda it's a fun book! Anything vintage is fun though lol!
The tips were great. The brownie cookies I am going to make when my son and I drive to my daughters wedding in May. I collect cookbooks and older Pyrex. My daughter is collecting very slowly Butterprint Pyrex. Very expensive but buying it slowly is good. I go to our thrift stores every week to check it out. . Love your channel.
Sheryl I keep announcing your name in my last two videos and leaving you comments. You won the $20 Walmart gift card! Please email me your address so I can mail it to you. Please reply to this so I know you’ve seen it. Thanks so much and congratulations again.
That particular brownie mix is my family favorite. I will try that recipe.
I love all your vintage bowls and things.
I have my mom's pyrex bowls from the 70's. I use them all the time.
Thanks for a great video!
Thanks so much for watching Renee!
Another tip for breading meat.put it into a bag or large bowl with lid and shake
Thanks for sharing
EMMY THEY LOOK GOOD I DO THAT ON A BOX OF CAKE MIX ONLY 2 EGGS AND OIL NO WATER ADD WHAT YOU WANTTO THE MIX YUMMO
Sounds perfect VC! Thanks!
I learned a few things! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful Jonna! Thank you!
@@FrugalMoneySaver 😊
I also read all the comments and try to add any. Thanks for sharing the cookbook id love it too
You are so welcome Rex! Have a blessed weekend!
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your sweet channel. New subscriber.
Welcome! Thanks so much for being here Angie!
Every time I get family requests for store bought cookies, I search your videos for easy recipes. We'll definitely try this one, and I bet it will get great reviews. Thanks for reminding us to use what we have on hand! Since finding your channel, I've become much better at using every speck of food we buy or grow. If we can't use it at peak freshness, we'll freeze or share it with others. Thanks!
So happy the videos are encouraging!!
Will definitely be making those cookies... during the holidays I make toll house cookies and added milk chocolate..semi sweet chocolate chips ...chopped toffee...white chocolate chips and crushed pretzels. Delish you should try it 😊❤️
Sounds great Francine! What a great bunch of add-ins! Thanks!
Those cookies look so yummy.
They are Dawn! So good!
Another great video. Ty! I was thinking that ur background music should be Paul playing the blues! Also I use an app called Acorn. It takes the difference between the price and the next dollar up and collects it and invests it. Plus I had $5 a week going into it and I just upgraded it to $10 week. I am up over $1000 and I never missed that money at all.
Great suggestion Linda! Thank you!
Yum! I can’t wait to try those brownie cookies. I need some milk!😋
LOL! Hope you enjoy them Teresa!
I make homemade baked tater tots from potatoes. I lightly bake them and freeze and then when I want tater tots w/ dinner, I can take some out and then put them in the oven to reheat. I really like how these come out. Healthier than fried and so delicious.
Sounds so good!
Excellent video as always. The cookies looked amazing! I can’t wait to try them. This morning I was up baking lemon cookies from a cake mix at 7:30am. The simplest cookies always get the most compliments! Loved the tips and the cookbook. I am going to keep my eyes open for it when I start thrift store shopping again!
Hi Fran! Always so great to hear from you! Oh lemon cookies sound great lol! Hope all is well! Thanks for watching!
Alesi, did you roll the lemon cookies in powdered sugar before you baked them? This gives them a “crackle” appearance and on so delicious.
Those are great frugal tips. Those cookies look so delicious and decadent. That cookbook from 1959 is the same year I was born and looks so interesting. There’s something about vintage books and items that I just love and I find it comforting maybe because it reminds me of the good old days when times were simpler. Thank you for sharing Emmy I’m sorry if I spelled your name wrong. You can correct me👍❤️
I couldn't agree more Lucy! I adore them too! You spelled my name exactly! Thanks for watching!
Great dryer tip! Love this video 👏🏻👏🏻 sponge cut up? Might try that
Thanks so much Jill!
My rubber spatulas are my favorite kitchen/ baking tool!! I get that brownie mix at $0.79 Kroger mega sale! Blessing to All of You!
That is awesome Irene! .79 is a great price!!
I always use butter in my baking! Even brownies!
Much richer taste for sure Robin! Thanks!
what i do is save coins.. and i put my dishwashsoap in a handsoapbottle with pump ,and i do that on my half kitchensponge.
so i save on soap
So smart Petra! Thanks for sharing!
You have beautiful hair!
Thank you so much!! That is so kind to say Kim!
This is re your tip on freezing mashed potatoes. Potatoes do not freeze well. They get mealy, no matter how much fat you may put in them. The texture is impacted. Further, if you use dairy, dairy will also impact the texture; it will separate.
Okay thanks Cindy. We have never had a problem with mashed potatoes not reheating well from frozen. Maybe it depends on the potato you use.
