Christine, your videos have gotten me through this pandemic, getting laid off, while continuing to feed my family of 4 good food at a great price. I can’t thank you enough! 💖
Lol I’m a Christine too
Hope you're still going well ☺️
Prayers .. God bless you ..
P
I just read your comment and it touches my ❤. Thanks 😊 for your post
I really love how you consistently speak to the families going through a time of food insecurity, directing them to food banks and other sources of assistance, also showing how to make the most of inexpensive nutritious ingredients. Without shaming.
I agree Desertblurcat NM - you said EXACTLY what I was thinking.
A full week's worth of BLDs for an entire family in the $60-70 range is so practical. Not extreme budgeting, just budgeting on the low side with high creativity. These are the videos I love to watch.
These groceries do not equal a balanced diet and they eat the same bland meal several times. Hard pass!
I agree
Very interesting to watch
This would be a very extreme budget where I live and I have noticed portion sizes are often quite small. I'd be surprised if she's getting 900 calories a day.
Nope, for a family of four eating fresh produce, it's more like 150 if you're budgeting. Especially when getting organic anything. Trying to buy products that aren't filled with sugar or some other cheap filler is hard!
If you want to be fancy - a Sausage and Bean stew is called a "Cassoulet" in France :D
Beanie Weanies 😋
Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit. I am ready to watch this at least four times. Thank you! I know these are the most labor intensive videos and I truly appreciate you still making them
They really do take a lot of time, so I appreciate that!
I've never heard that saying before and totally made me laugh! Needed that!
😆😆😆
Reading that made me think of my mom. 💞 She was a funny one. Definitely truly appreciate these type of videos especially with being a mom of 4....I mean 3 and an overgrown toddler. Whoops! I mean Husband🤣🤣 We have 3 picky ones(I'm the worst) so these meals are pleasing for all
@@anitaholmes6824 there's a tea towel that says that on Victorian Trading Company's website...so hilarious. Go get one!
This is more realistic as supposed to $10 at the dollar store. I try to stay in a $50 a week budget ..but of course I have staples , condiments , spices ect already in my home...so I try to pick 2 meats, 2 fruit, 2 veg, and usually milk, butter, cheeze. As for cleaning items, toiletries I do that once every 3 months ...I do a bit of a bulk shop once a year...for sugar, flour, yeast,oats, beans,,rice ( I use my bread maker twice a week ) stuff like that.
I like the 2 meat, 2 veggies, and 2 fruit idea. Going to try that as my rent just doubled. Thank you! :)
Shopping for toiletries every three months is a great idea. I’ve never thought of that tbh.
I'm glad someone else is doing this ,☺️ I live in Europe (in One Off THE most expensive countries in Europe) and use max 50€ per week. I do One to two big shops per year for toiletpaper, cleaningstuff (I normally use vinegar, handsoap etc.) Dishwashertablets etc
Your method sounds great! I'm gonna try it! Don't forget that vinegar is an excellent cleaner, also baking soda w/a bit of water to scrub works great too.
I'm a broke grad student and I just made the sausage and bean dish, today. It was delicious. 😊 Admittedly, I got a little heavy handed with the creole seasoning though, and learned why you only used half a teaspoon. Lol. 😅
Kaz D, dry beans and rice will be one of your best friends!!! I wish I had known in college to cook up a batch of beans/chicken in the slow cooker and freeze to have a quick meal on hand. Thawed or Frozen chicken can be cooked up in a skillet super fast! You can also freeze beans and rice meals to have a quick microwave lunch :)
This cut and colour is so flattering, Your eyes just pop .
Totally agree. Today’s video had me commenting on it.... then I saw this one from 3days earlier
I agree!
Agreed. She's just so 😍
Amen.🌞
Me too!!! I had to comment. Everything looked delicious
My dad use to make soup with leftovers called it "refrigerator soup" Lillie
My family called it Mulligan Stew
Yes!! My grandpa would make soup from thanksgiving leftovers and we called it refrigerator soup or grandpa soup 😂
@@elizziebooks we called it kitchen sink soup, as in "everything but the kitchen sink..."
100 ingredients soup that's what I call mine.
stone soup!!!! or minestrone
This one has been the BEST frugal grocery challenge so far! I love all of the great tips you gave and the recipes. And no dislikes? WOW!
Wow, thank you!
I don't know why anyone has to hit dislike on any videos. If they don't like what they're watching just move onto something else.
@@alibali193 I think people misunderstand the point of the dislike button - people think of it as a rude thing, but I believe the original point was to tell UA-cam that the video wasn’t a good suggestion for you like “don’t show me more like this” but I do get why people think of it as rude now - because its been used it that way. I don’t believe that was the original purpose of it though & UA-cam still sees it as positive because it’s engagement on the video, so it doesn’t hurt the creator :) I also agree though - how could you NOT LOVE her videos?? So much awesome info!
She is amazing! Much love from Canada
I think UA-cam got rid of the dislike...it doesn't show how many...and that's just fine with me lol
I love that you encourage people to get help if they need it. Thank you sending the message that it’s ok to get help.
These prices are insane. None of the I stores in my town have deals like this…so jealous.
Come to Australia, the price of grocery shopping is ridiculous 🤦♀️
well it is 2022and all the food has doubled if not more in price we are eating beans and rice tortillas, eggs and tortillas with salsa beans and link sausage,
One other comment (sorry) If you have a child age 1-18 they can get free breakfast and lunch through your local public school, even if they are not enrolled. The Federal School Lunch program is free to all kids through the end of the school year, and then the summer school lunch program kicks in, also free. School lunch has quality and nutrition standards, so please contact your local public school's nutrition program if you would like to be added. :)
As a mom of 6 I always appreciate frugal and convenient meals.
Better than restaurant food
maybe its some dinner idea you like. dry roast oats then make half of it to flour cook the rest with onions and garlic season with salt, pepper and stuff you like at the end put some cheese into it some cream and bind it with the flour from the oats.
@@beatrizaceiton2396 Funny, when we go out that is the first thing we talk about on the way home. . . could we make it cheaper/better and save the money the next time. We go to restaurants the most when we are on vacation!! (although we still cook or use leftovers from the night before)
Me too, I have all sons too haha 2 teenagers
When my husband was in college and briskets were cheap, we would buy a big brisket, he would smoke it on the weekend. We used the meat all week for different meals.
I miss cheap brisket!
She did a video on several ways to use the one brisket it was an awesome video😊
@@cassierennoldson3185 I remember--it indeed was awesome. We made sandwiches, burritos, hash, soups, stir fries--you name it, we tried using brisket in it!
@@cynthiamyers4265 and skirt steak
Christine: Not everybody wants to bake bread.
Me watching the video and waiting for my 2 loaves of bread to bake.
Great video!
where i live we have so much varioty of bread and cheap aswell i can see why not everywhere people bake bread but i like bakeing bread because i can put in what i want i put tomato juice into the dough instead of water and so on^^
@@TheCotzi We have a lot of cheap bread but it can stay fresh outside of fridge for months so it makes me wonder what is in there. I like to know what I put into my food so I really enjoy making my own. And each variety I learn to make is like a small win
I try too keep our food an cleaning products to 300.00 a month . Not all that easy I cook very little from pre cooked foods. I am old lady if 75 and hubby 77 but I have always cook and try to live wisely.,
Beans and rice dish you won't be able to get enough of, Black eyed peas, rice and salsa. Really simple. We were visiting a family friend and she said she was embarrassed to be giving us "peasant food" but it was soooo good.
Rice and beans..classic and delish!
My family eats rice and beans several times a week. It's a staple in my house. There is nothing wrong with it. We add several fresh veggies and cilantro. Sometimes on a tostada.
There are so many things you can do with rice and beans.
That sounds delicious!
Nothing wrong with "peasant food"....from a Hungarian and Irish peasant🙂. Although, for me, to be able to eat that sausage, it would have to be fully browned. Browned food is flavorful food!
Have you ever tried peanutsauce with asian style food? You can make the sauce from peanutbutter diluted with some water, milk or coconutmilk. You can make it spicier with red pepper or hotsauce. Or sweeter with some brown sugar and soy. The sauce gives flavor to veggies, rice, stirfries, fried chicken or meat. And it is quite filling 😋
In dutch it is called saté sauce and it is very popular.
I was going to post that too. we use peanut sauce with meat satays ie. barbequed meat on a skewer
Dutch? Then you meant indo food?
Yes, and it's soooo good for salad dressing tooo..
So my husband doesn't like peanut butter. Can you taste the peanut butter? If he can't taste it, I could get away with this. He is on a restricted diet. I am always looking for home recipes.
@@sewingmistakesunlimited The sauce has a real peanut taste. The other things you ad, makes it different than just peanutbutter alone. This means you can vary, but the peanut flavour will prevail. I hope this gives you enough information, so you can decide wether you give it a try.
@@astridteeuw2374 what would you do of he doesn't like peanut butter, but limes peanuts. I think it is a texture thing.
Christine, my mom never taught me how to cook and I always loved cooking as a kid. Now that I’m in college and I can use something without the fear that I will get in trouble for cooking… you taught me how to cook. I cook everyday. Simple simple meals that I would’ve never thought I could make I can now. Thank you so much for this channel. I have a lot of food icks and you make everything seem yummy and I will try so many different things because of you!! Thank you!!!
I love when you do this, in these times when it is tough for a lot of families it gives them ideas how to buy and cook frugal, as an older person, I was taught how to do this, and stretch out our meals, (buy a huge chicken, beef or pork butt, tear it to pieces, make hot sandwiches the next day, make soup out of it)but I don't believe these younger families know how to cook like this.
I sure don't! That's why I'm here. 😊 Always learning.
@@MagicallyMusical We will be eating for $1 a day by the time Christine is finished with us 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@heatherlynsey3092I’m by
This is pretty cool, but not much for me to take away from this.
Living in the German countryside my grandmother taught me about frugal cooking since I was 5 or 6. I know her entire repertoire of German and Eastern European dishes by heart. I knew how to make food preserves, wine and beer at age 7.
It was most of what she knew really, but came in incredibly handy at university. Everyone else was on half rations of instant ramen 3 weeks into the month while I ate like a king the entire time with plenty of money left over at the end.
On game nights I'd be like: " You can either order pizza for 90 bucks or give me 40 to go shopping".
Then I'd buy ingredients for 15, make 6 absolutely huge pizzas and keep the rest of the money. Nobody ever complained.
Same. I’m Cajun, and we can literally go into the swamp with a bag of rice, onions, and a bottle of cooking oil, and survive forever. People think Cajun food requires ordering special spices, but it’s more about the technique of browning whatever meat is available to make a gravy. I once had a “college educated chef” who isn’t Cajun try to tell me I was wrong about my own heritage, and his reasoning was that he had to special-order Cajun ingredients to have them shipped to his restaurant (out of state, not a Louisiana native). I told him that there weren’t even highways, much less the internet back when my great-grandparents were inventing those recipes. He got big mad 😂
I don't see it as a bad thing to have knowledge that you are sharing with others that don't know. Just because you didn't get anything from this doesn't mean someone else is the same. Plus, if you're so knowledgeable, why are you watching a frugal vid?
@@ajsassafrass6883 Not saying it's a bad thing, and I'm obviously only speaking for myself here.
You could have made wine and beer for them too!
@@evelynsaungikar3553 Wine yes. Beer is much more complex to make and difficult to properly serve. Just getting it carbonated requires very precise in-bottle fermentation or expensive equipment which I didn't have access to at the time.
Carrot cake oatmeal is so delicious and cheap! Grate carrot and add cinnamon into your oatmeal as you cook it into the pan! So delicious 😋
I really appreciate your cooking abilities. People that can't cook from scratch are missing out on amazing meals. We don't eat out very often because we get better food at home. I'm sure your family feels the same way.
I so agree. Many times eating out turns out to be a disappointment for the food we cook at home is far tastier.
I enjoy my own cooking . As long as I have my prep helper and dishwasher, my husband, I don't need to eat out. I even go to an Asian market and make my own Chinese takeout.
Can you imagine eating out with 6 people?
That can't have been a haul! You didn't touch all the things! ;)
LOL!
Aside from being budget-friendly, another GREAT reason to show us lots of beans/rice/pasta meal ideas is the craziness going on in the world has a lot of us 'prepping', and that means we have a LOT of beans and rice on hand, lol.
On other people's videos I type comments at a regular speed, after watching you, I type my comment at super speed then I get up, clean my house, exercise and start dinner. 🤣
It's true!
For real after watching her vlogs I feel like the laziest person alive 🤣
Every time I hear quesadilla said, I hear it in the voice of Napoleon Dynamite's grandmother! "Go & make yourself a dang quesadilla, Napoleon!"
Way to eat all the freaking chips, kip
😂 and now I’ll hear it in his grandmothers voice too!
lol me too
I cannot believe those prices!! :o I live in Miami and I haven't seen bell peppers or apples that cheap for YEARS. Not even when they're on sale. Awesome video! Thank you for all the ideas! :D
Same here MN
And then she showed her haul and I thought "WHY on earth did she buy only one bell pepper and four tomatos for the whole week??"
Same in Va unless aldi if lucky 😂
For just a few pennies more, add a smear of refried beans to your cheese quesadilla and keep your kids full twice as long. :)
I don't enjoy refried beans much but love them like this
This week Albertsons has their brand of 2 pound blocks of cheese for 2.99 in their ad with either a coupon or in the app. I bought two and put them in the freezer.
Christine’s seasoning measurements have the same energy as the “two shots of vodka” vine 😂😂 love these videos!
I love how in the last couple of years cooking has been made simpler. It makes people feel less intimidated when making restaurant style meals. The pork looks amazing!
Yes!!!! Got back from the gym and now I get to watch my favorite videos that you do! God is good and today is great!
I live in AZ and we have “cheese crisps “ as appetizers at the Mexican food restaurants. I make them at home all the time. They are only one tortilla with butter and cheese and it goes under the broiler until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is brown and crispy. I put salsa or green chilies or both, or sour cream . Use the large tortillas and they make a meal.
Please do more of these realistic budget videos! This is the first time I’ve watched one of your videos and I love your video style and your channels mission! This is great!!
If you get any more requests for this, I would love to see some meat and dairy free dinners :)
Christine, you are amazing! I am lucky to live in a state with year round abundant access to fresh foods and I have a healthy income, but I know that my reality isn't the same for a lot of even most of the country. Your videos are eye opening and done with so much love and care and judgement free and resource. You are a blessing to all who watch you. I thank you sincerely for what you do; you really do help a lot of people. From one mom to another: you're awesome!!! Much love from California!!!
My 8yr old son had 2 comments while we watched this. 1. During the pizza meal, he asked why you also didn't do a double layer of cheese and 2. When you dumped in the beans for drunken beans he goes "that's gonna be a lot of farts"
As a Hispanic that eats a lot of pinto beans, we have drunken pinto beans. It’s a soup and we add beer to it😁 Frijoles borrachos
Boy I wish I had UA-cam 20 years ago and people like you were available to watch.! Great ideas for families! There are just 2 of us so I will make these and freeze!
Yes. As much as social media is bashed - and can be bad. Some of it is a life saver
I have binge watched a LOT of your videos multiple times over the past couple of years, and your content just keeps getting better! :)
Thank you!!
Christine can I just say how much I appreciate that at the end you mention that there is help available to those needing it. I think you are such a wonderful resource to those who struggle making ends meet and those of us who strive to be more frugal. Thank you sooo much ❤️🙏🏼
Thanks you for hitting a middle ground! While I like to stick to my budget I don’t personally like to buy stuff at the dollar store (even though it’s totally ok!). These meals were definitely something I would consider balanced AND yummy. Can you do more of these???? Pleeeease 🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜💜
It's just me in my house and I want to make all of those dinner recipes...imagine how many meals I could freeze for future week nights! I'm excited. Thanks Christine
I love how when you talk and then move or wave the smiley face spoon around at the same time, it's like the spoon is talking to us about how delicious the food is!
This is inspiring! Thank you, Christine!
That soup looked tasty! And with all of that extra pork you could also make enchiladas 🤤
I appreciate this as well as the extreme ideas. It’s good to know how to do both. Thank you!
I LOVE that you showed frugal meals that still have veggies! Thank you for the variety as well! My family doesn’t do dairy, but I was still able to draw so much from the videos and inspiration for other meals. Also, I love you personality so I’m instantly subscribing lol
Thanks for helping families get by with full tummies.
Christine’s extreme challenges are #goals! ❤️
Yes! More videos like this please. 🙂 Love the realistic budget approach.
I love that your kids are not picky! Feeding a family of 6 isn’t easy for sure. You have inspired me to spend less and have full bellies!
We have all boys fam of 7 mine aren't picky either :)
I love watching meal videos where I already have most everything already in my fridge/freezer/pantry! 👍🥰 Thanks for the meal inspiration!
Thank you! I will watch this more than once,lol your so sweet to share all this! Appreciate you
I love watching these videos before I grocery shop! My inspiration for the week ahead!
Woohoo 😁 Christine is in my notifications! With great advice and of course, her personality (which I love!!)
Those little pepperoni and cheese roll-up things are a great idea!
Christine...You truly are the QUEEN of Frugal tasty meals. I love all your cooking ideas.
Love how you used all the ingredients. Cleaver meals!
Love seeing these videos! My wife and I are skipping grocery shopping for the next month to clean out the pantry, so I love seeing your ideas.
Thank you for going through the entire process of grocery shopping and actually cooking each meal and sharing meal ideas!
I just started living by myself and cooking under a budget, your videos are a game changer
Just LOVE your recipe ideas!! I, too, cook like this. I think when you know flavors you like and "classic" beginning flavors. . . onions, garlic, peppers, carrots, celery. . . . creative cooking gets really FUN! Thank you for doing these videos. . . they are my favorites!
I’ve gotten so many ideas from these kinds of videos. This is how I found you last year so I’m feeling very nostalgic right now! 😂 feels like old times
I love these videos- thank you. One of the things I love the most is watching you put basic ingredients together so creatively! One doesn’t need recipes to use up ingredients and cook great meals!!!
Definitely can't wait to give some of these recipes a try! I love knowing that I can eat on a budget, save a little money and still have a delicious meal!
This is fantastic. The first frugal menu that looks delicious for every mean!
I can't wait to try some of these recipes!!! Thank you, Christine, for being so laid back and treating us like we're neighbors! Love ya!
I love these type of videos& this was one of the best. Everything looked delicious but especially the soup. I love soups. It always amazing how many meals you get out of the amount of food you purchase. I also love how you show you can eat good & delicious food without spending alot. I know these videos have to take a lot of time to make so thank you for the inspiration.
Christine your ingenuity knows no bounds , I loved this video and your creative dish names I will definitely be trying some of those dishes! Thanks for the awesome food ideas
I love your videos and I thank you for plumping up the budget a bit so I can stick to it.
Watching this makes me almost exited to try budgeting more on my groceries 😃 And your kids are so adorable.
Wow! These meals all look sooo yummy! And wow that was a lot of pork! Showing the boys with their porridge was a great way of showing how big the portion actually looks, strange how viewing it from the top seems to make them always look small, but that really showed those bowls pack a decent serving size!
Christiiiiine!!!! I found your channel again!!! 💖💖💖💖 my heart is happy.
Christine, you are awesome to post this video and others like it. I am already a frugal shopper thanks to learning from my mom, who lived through the depression and other hard times. I like your modern take on the more diverse foods we commonly eat today. Thank you so much.
Wow! Those meals sound so good. I made sure to write them down to use when I get all of the ingredients. I'm envious of your prices for food!!!
Thank you for getting me excited again about eating on a budget! It's easy sometimes to lose the sense of challenge and adventure that makes it so much easier, but your videos are bringing that spark back!
You did that!!! This is right around my budget so I love this!
I can remember as a little girl seemed like some of my Mother's best meals were made when there was I thought as a little girl not much to fix..... But she always made a meal for 7 that was always my favorite.She was a wonderful cook. Like you it's not the money you spend to make a meal it's the love and the way she came out with such great meals. I love both of your soul videos. But it was all wonderful! Thanks so much!!
LOVE THIS SHOW, SHE MAKE'S ME FEEL LIKE i CAN DO ANYTHING!!!
One of my favorite soups I call “cream of refrigerator” soup. I just use whatever suitable veggies (raw or cooked) that are left in the fridge, maybe a little leftover ham, and some milk and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Yum! Your soup looked delicious and was a great way to use leftovers. Love, love, love your videos! ❤️
This is cute lol
Wow I can't believe I was blessed with a WinCo shopping visit. I am absolutely thrilled when you show WinCo footage. The prices and quality of products look great. So many savings
You can even cut the tortilla and fry it and add it to the soup as a topping. Yum!
I've been watching you for years. Love you and your channel. re-watching this in November 2021... this is my favorite hair look for you! And of course I love the content. I doubt you'll see this comment 6 months later but I still wanted to post it.
Whoo! It's nice to see Winco in a video like this - it's usually Aldi, Trader Joe's or something, but Winco is my absolutely favorite place to shop! Great quality and great pricing!
Great ideas, thanks. I love the hint about gradually adding more water when you microwave oatmeal. It makes a bigger serving for the same calories.
Thank you Chirstine for the great meal ideas. You have proven once again that feeding a family needn't be expensive or junky, you just need to plan ahead a little bit.
You’re such a sweetheart Christine!
We call a soup like that ‘Pyjama Soup’ because my brother dumped his all over himself and his pyjamas one night!!
I love how family stories like this turn into family history that lasts forever. Thank you for sharing this story!!
Christine I'd love to see a menu plan with the same level of budgeting including for kids cold lunches and a birthday treat for a week or for a full month thanks so much for all your frugal videos they help immensely!
Inspired! You are such a good person and we need more peeps like you in the world!🌟
I'm definitely going to try and veganise the soup with the veggie roast I got on clearance that is in the freezer. Just done a clear out in my cupboards and made a huge batch of hummus. One jar in the fridge and two in the freezer and lovely red pepper chilli hummus in my salad wraps for the week.
Oh my goodness! Pork shoulder in Verde salsa is one of my new favorite things! 2 ingredients, 1 crockpot, cooks all day while I'm working 11 hours. Amazing. 👍 Red salsa and chicken is great too.
This was awesome to watch! Love the ideas and how creative you are with the ingredients in your house.
I loved it when you asked if it was enough oatmeal, and he said "maybe" ❤️
You scored some great deals! Fun to watch you put it all together! Any combo of beans, rice, salsa, cheese & tortillas is always delicious😊
refried beans, rice, cheese burritos are one of my favorites that my mama used to make us to keep us full and frugal for sure. we would have it with dipped in "salsa a la sour cream" just salsa and sour cream mixed. It actually is quite good! If she had chicken or beef she also would add that in.
The sausage and beans with peppers and onions reminds me of jambalaya especially since you said you were having rice with. I love the way you cook! It's so smart to buy what's on special price and build your meals with flavor! Thanks for sharing your great ideas!❤️❤️❤️
Love this!! With half the size of the family, I cut those roast in like 4ths and have them for months in my freezer in bags! Yes, I cook a 1/4 up and then I will shred make pull pork flaunts, bbq pork sandwiches, then usually a bbq pork pizza. I throw in two other meals with different meats from the freezer and boom I have meals for the week once we have leftovers!!
