Really enjoy your videos . Can't use your recipes bc I'm on a diabetic renal cardiac diet. You inspired me to go to a dietician and figure out what the heck I could actually eat. Now I'm making weekly meal plans and am getting my diabetes under control and saving money too. I'm fortunate to live half a mile from a discount grocery store an Aldi. And 7 other grocery stores are within 3 miles. Long message but just wanted to say thanks.
Carnivore and/or keto
Very instructional Christine! I'm sure your step by video here has opened up the savings route for a lot of people who just don't have the knack for shopping from the pantry and or freezer and meal prepping!
@@lisaspencer5881can't. If you have kidney issues you have to watch your protein and fat intake. My kidney doc has warned me away from high protein diets like keto, and I only eat chicken nowindays. Renal diets are very hard.
Just wanted to say I love hibiscus also! I saw your profile pic. Mine is a red 🌺 ❤
Those are one of the most restricted diets! So tough good for you for getting a dietician! Great job! You got this!
I had to implement a “for meals bin” because my husband kept eating our dinner ingredients 😂😂
I need to do this too
Me three 😂
I live in Hawai’i and I feed a family of three humans 3 meals per day and my three large dogs (homemade dog food) on $200 a month. I grow about 40% of what we eat and it makes all the difference in the world during this inflated economy. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to start a garden.
Thank you for this encouragement to garden 🌿
Cut a meal
@@ccirish4519 We are farmers and work at least 10+ hours a day, 7 days a week. We absolutely need all of our calories or we’d be skin and bones. If I had a sit-down job maybe I’d consider doing that.
I live alone and I always cook the full recipe. I divide all of the servings into individual containers in glass dishes and freeze them. Then as long as I make about one dish per week, I usually have three or four options in my freezer to take to lunch. Then for dinner, I will often have a big salad or wraps.
I do that too. It’s a great way to eat
My grandma lived over 3 hours away and was single and got to where she didn't want to cook for herself. Had a weak heart, etc. but wasn't ready to move here yet. So my mom would cook things she liked or requested and freeze single servings and take up about once a month. It helped her to start getting enough calories again and ensured mom was going up and checking on her once a month. She did reach a point where she decided she was ready to move here where her family was and make it easier on my mom.
Last year I was able to feed my family of 3 for $40 a week. It took a lot of creativity but man we saved a lot of money!
Damn that’s impressive. Goals ✌️
We spend $75 a week for a family of 11
@@melissavazquez2953how?!😮
Wow!
It is possible.. good job
I appreciate your comment, “Cooking for one sucks!” because it truly, for the most part, does. I’m learning to make smaller portions but what is so nice, like you, only in reverse, my mom has been feeding me dinner for some time now. She made the decision that it was stupid for me to try and get home from work, make dinner, eat, and clean up when she has to cook dinner every night anyway and I live right next door! 🥰
I don't live close to my son and his family, but I try to freeze some ready to go meals size accordingly for his family and my husband and I. I know it helps them when they're busy with activities. And saves them money not to get take out.
Yeah for you twice! Once for dinners and once for your wonderful Mom.
God bless your mama
That's so nice you and your mom are close, and she likes to cook! I'm a recent empty nester, and work outside the home with a long commute. Cooking for one was such an adjustment in every way. After I got over being sad about my daughters moving states away, I decided to make the most of being home alone and started meal prepping on Sundays. Now I cook once and eat on those dishes all week. It's nice not being in the kitchen cooking after work every day!
I dog sit my sons little Pomeranian every day while he is at work, he lives alone, so I have invited him to eat dinner with us nightly so he doesn’t have to worry about going home and cooking dinner.
I’ve been doing this for 30 years. It’s saved me a gazillion $$! I fed a family of 6 plus often 2-6 more for supper. We lived a block from the high school & kids wanted a home cooked meal. I loved being that person. I’m still called “momma joy” by so many now young adults in our community. A budget CAN BE done!!
Black friday is the true value of a item marked up 20 percent.😂
Thank you for your videos! I have a win to share with you: Last week Kroger had a deal on Tyson chicken, buy 1 package get 1 free. I went to go compare prices with the Walmart price. But when I got there, there was clearance Tyson chicken! Not knowing if they would honor the deal on the clearance price, I got two packages. They did honor the deal!! So I got Tyson chicken boneless breasts for about $2.80/pound! The next day I went to a different Kroger and found clearance chicken bone-in thighs, a lot of them. So I picked up a lot! Ended up paying about $0.85 per pound! They all went in the freezer. 😁 Thank you for teaching my to look for the clearance deals!
Great job!!!
Yaaayyyy for the clearance wins!!! It's funny you mentioned learning to look for clearance deals. Until I started watching YT, I'd never done that either, also had never heard of freezer meals or sheetpan meals! If only there had been YT when I was in my 20s, a single mom and working two jobs!!
There’s a restaurant in Florida that my family loves!!! They have a taco called a Johnny Utah taco. It’s a taco on a corn tortilla that has pulled pork, mac & cheese, crumbled bacon, bbq sauce, and pickles. SO good!!!!!
I do the same thing. Stock up on non-perishable sale items, then only shop for what I need. What drives my costs up is that I eat as few processed foods as possible, and as a single person with only my fridge freezer, it's unrealistic to bulk buy too much freezer food. I probably spend about $40 total a week on needed items, but then, I always need more fruit! LOL
Me too we eat tons of fruit and also eat a salad nearly every day. It's not cheap! I don't buy salad kits.
I do the reverse, I don’t have much of a pantry. I cook according to what vegetables are on sale. Today, I found 3 zucchini for $2. 4 yams for $2.
oat meal instead of breadcrumbs in meat loaf
Just tear a slice or 2 of bread into bits.
We never buy bread crumbs, all stale or unused bread goes into the freezer then once every six months it's all taken out, air dried and cut up into cubes for stuffing or bread pudding and a bunch ground up for panko type crumbs. 3 or 4 sealed jars in the pantry of panko and 2 or 3 vac sealed bags of cubed.
We have also bought day olds from the bakery that are marked down to half or lower, take it home, and the same process. Should never buy bread crumbs!
In January I only spent $40 on grocery shopping. Used what we had. And used the crock pot.
I thought you said “ I am all out of Bailey’s” - I had to listen again, as I was thinking - holy cow she’s a cool mom! After the third run I realize you said Bay leaves! Lol
Ha Ha! So cute…baileys or bay leaves, I get it😂
😂
Alcohol doesnt equals cool....
LOVE BAILEY’S!!! Now that’s worth saving up a buck or 2 to spend on!!
Ok, I have another comment: love love love the idea of the Use It Up bin! I used to get in trouble all the time as a kid bc I'd accidentally eat the ingredients for dinner. This idea solves it! Will be sending to my mom and also using in my own family! (No more hubby "accudentally" eating the cheese I needed for dinner) 😂
Use oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs for meatloaf. Most households already have that for breakfast and saves the cost of having to buy breadcrumbs
I make my own breadcrumbs from the ends of the bread loaf. Saves tons of money.
I do not like oatmeal in anything. I think it's a texture issue.
I just made this last night! Meatloaf with oatmeal. 👍🏼 And if you grind it up you don't even notice it.
Pineapple on pizza, YES!! I never make it because no one else in my house agrees with that. But if I’m at an event and they offer it I will most definitely eat it.
Buy a small can of pineapple and put some on the number of slices you think you’ll eat. Then you can enjoy your pizza and have a little snack for later.
Pineapple always goes on pizza. I will die on that hill lol.
Split household. My oldest doesn't like any form of pineapple.
Well To Each Their Own.
I don't like Pineapple on Pizza.
Enjoy
I will join you! Love pineapple on pizza!!!
Joining too love pineapple especially on pizza
I'm here to support my fellow pineapple 100% belongs on pizza peeps.
We have 2 refrigerators and a chest freezer. I keep a white board on all to identify what is in each freezer. I sometimes forget to erase what I've pulled, but it helps with deciding on my meals. It may look unsightly to some, but it's useful for me and my family. Thank you for being inspiring in so many ways!!
Ohmigosh!!! I soooo needed this!! So, my husband goes away for work and is gone for several weeks in a row. My children moved out about a year ago, and I have been cleaning out my freezer ever since. So when he is out of town, I feed on meal prepped leftovers and dinner/lunch for 1 (it’s a learning curve from feeding 6 to 4 to now, 2 people). So when he is away the ONLY thing I ever purchase is fruit and fresh veggies. Hubs tells me I’m cheap when it comes to me, that I should get meal kits. Being a meal prepper, I don’t know how to do that (haha) I felt bad, like I was selling myself short… so, yes, I needed to see this one! Thanks so much!! I feel validated awe yeh 💪🏼
Meal kits can be a fun addition! Usually the first few boxes are reduced price and you can skip weeks as much as you want or cancel when you're done. As someone who likes to cook but also struggles with cooking for 1, it can be a fun change of pace. And most of them really are cheaper or comparable to the same groceries.
Why would you want to pay for meal kits lol.
My favorite sheet pan dinner is sausage, bell peppers, onions, and pineapple served with rice. I either use teriyaki sauce or olive oil and what ever seasoning I have on hand ( lemon pepper is nice) depending on what kind of sausage I use. These are things I always have on hand.
I just realized you had reached 600K subscribers. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! You are my favorite youtuber that I watch. Thanks for spending your time with me. LOL
Thank you so much for these videos! I recently got married and have taken on the majority of cooking and grocery shopping for my husband and I! I'm new to making financial decisions for a family, and your videos help my husband and I save a ton of money while eating delicious food!
I don’t stockpile. How I save money- is I only buy what we need for the two weeks. Then we eat everything we buy. I like to see an empty fridge and pantry. I don’t want to be wasteful and I’m proud of how empty it all looks every two weeks. Also, motivates me to clean the fridge and freezer 😂 because it’s empty.
Likewise, I only buy stock for grains, legumes and flour especially for the winter
That would make me a nervous wreck. Each to his own!
Thanks for always talking about clearance meats, went to the store yesterday and stocked up on lots saved at least 50 bucks
That's really kind of you to cook for your mom regularly ❤
I love that you cook for your mom! You are a very loving person and a blessing to your mom. Making good memories for everyone too! ❤❤❤
Yes, pineapple and Canadian bacon on pizza. Love it! Also Gorgonzola and Pear Pizza. 😋❤
Gorgonzola and Pear sounds AMAZING! Next time I make home made pizza I will have to try it.
I always check my pantry and fridge before i go shoppi g and plan my meals. I also have a chart of 30 meals i like to make, can make, and know i like. This way i dont have to think so hard and i can add new meals every now and then. I also have a list of household needs i can look at each week and check those areas to see what i need. Makes planning my shopping trip so easy. I love your videos you give me great ideas. My goal is to someday have a yearly household supply list. What i need in supplies for a year.
I do monthly grocery shopping with pick up (no store entry = no temptation). This saves me 30-40% (depending on what's needed) over weekly pick up or grocery shopping. Especially since Walmart has a minimum for pickup of $35. At least at my local one. Since it's just my husband and I, I freeze a lot of leftovers and use them for future meals. That saves a bunch, too.
I’ve been doing this for the last year or so. I learned a great tip at Grocery Lutlet by another customer the week before the Super Bowl. I live in Southern California and lot of the grocery stores you talk about we don’t have. So the tip was the Thursday after any big holiday or the Super Bowl Ralph’s put the excess they purchased for the Super Bowl or holiday on Sale. I’m single but I got $30 for a week of groceries from one Ralph’s. I got a pound of bacon, one filet mignon steak, one small container of scrimp and a package of chicken breasts. All additional items were cheaper than where I normally shop or they don’t carry the items. I went to one other store and spent less then $20 and I have breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus snacks for the week. I also have meat additional meals. My freezer was almost empty.
Ralph's is owned by Kroger in case you don't know that. She talks about Kroger sales all the time. ❤great tip about after SB sales!
Thanks again Christine for this awesome video. I will try for the month of March to be more creative with my family meals and see how much less I can spend on groceries for the month. We have been very fortunate to go to the grocery store and not watch our pennies. I typically buy what I want, so this will be a good challenge for me 😃💕
12 minutes in and 744 views! You go girl 💪
Bacon cheeseburger meatloaf recipe?
I wish we could afford to stock pile, but we barely make it through the week with how much things cost. Thank you for your videos. It really helps to get ideas that do not require so many crazy expensive ingredients.
Are you shopping sales?
Have you watched her original extreme grocery budget video that went viral a few years ago? She designed that menu to help people start to build a budget buffer so they can buy ahead based on sales.
Somehow someway you have to get some extra money ($10?) to start stockpiling on sales items such as loss leaders.
A lot of people show how to start your stockpile with a few dollars a week. Christine has also done those videos. ❤
Back when was a kid, we would go to Pizza Inn as a treat. On the pizza bar, they had this amazing peach and pineapple dessert pizza . In my opinion, this is the one acceptable way to eat pineapple on pizza.
I've also gotten in the habit of labeling things in my fridge, etc., "DINNER SATURDAY" (or whatever) to give my family the clear message of, "Don't use this for lunch or a snack!" It helps!
That Naan brand also makes a 4 pack of pizza crusts that I usually find between $4-$5. LOVE love LOVE pizza night with those. You can make 4 different kinds and throw together a salad! I think that's a good price even not on clearance.
When my mom was a live I would always take her some of my meal prep on Sundays. She always had sides st her house.
I've always meal planned this way. I've scalled way down as i am 65 & single. I have a huge garden & orchard.I can, dehydrate & freeze. You make great video's. Thanks for all the info.
I shared this video in a budgeting group. It will help a lot of people.
Thank you
Pulled pork is so versatile! I'll buy one 8lb pork shoulder and we can eat all week. We make Cubano Sandwiches, carnitas tacos, shredded pork nacho bake and if I have some hominy, pozole.
Thanks Christine! So many great ideas. You're the best. 😊
This is perfect! Thanks for showing how it's done. It's not as overwhelming as I thought it would be.
Christine, I so love you. You said "a can of frozen vegetable s" 😂😂😂😂
I can do that too in Aldi’s. Well done.
My children's pizza special is pineapple, chicken and spinach 😭 they are 6 and 7
LOL, gotta love kids!
That sounds like an odd combo but oddly good also lol. What kind of sauce regular pizza sauce, alfredo, bbq, or what?
@@lacefrontstbmoth just regular red sauce 😭😭 as long as they eat it I can't complain!
@alexisalqahtani it sounds good to me. I'm gonna try it out and see.
I love your videos!! You’re such an inspiration and help me refocus my efforts!
Thank you, thank you, thank you ! For the weekly meal planner. It's EXACTLY what I have been looking for
I love your channel. Great tips on how to use the pantry and freezer. Thanks so much for sharing this. I think we constantly need to be reminded.
Love 💕 and Hugs. 💙💙💙
Enjoy the video!amazing how much we can dig outta the freezer....!keep encouraging us to use up things and not let them waste...I love having chickens for the bits of leftovers that get pushed back and forgoten...
Yes, ma'am!!! You'll never see full priced pasta, pasta sauce, frozen anything, yogurt, cereal, etc in my cart, because i keep a very well stocked kitchen. I just recently ran out of chicken and ground beef after a year and 1/2 break from buying it. So, i found chicken on sale for $1.79 and now i have 35 lbs in my freezer. 😉
I'm out of banunus too, but i think I'll get banaynays this week. 🤪
Lol I've been on a long break from buying ground beef and chicken as well 😂😂😂😂bought up a ton in 2020 and still eating it 😅
@@dianasimplifies I love it! It's funny, if anyone says we're running low on something, you better believe I'm going to get "too much" of it. 😂. I have 500 puppy pads and 22 cases of boost "nutritional" drinks too. 🤪
@@AmyStotts lol that's amazing 😍
Thank u frugal mom ❤
I love Naan for Pizza.
By yourself, always a Fresh Pizza.
Cheese Sausage, Peppers.
Don't have to have Red Sauce.
Olive Oil, Garlic Powder and a Seasinig, Oregano or Italian Seasoning.
Mmmm
She is Right have a Clean out of the Pantry, Fridge n Freezer.
PINEAPPLE & HAM on pizza, right beside my husband's pepperoni & sausage!
I have a few 1-2lbs chuck roasts in the freezer so decided this weekend I'll throw them in a crock pot and make shredded beef for later use and have a jar of banana peppers I can use up too - tacos, sandwiches, pastas etc. Agree with Christine - learning to stock up when on sale but also using what you have in stock no matter if it is freezer, pantry of fridge. Thank you Christine for guiding and encouraging your follower! Yeah you rock!!!
Never change! We need you!
My groceries cost went down when I started using Walmart pick up.😂
As many videos of yours as I've watched, I do not remember the following:
Have you done a "pantry clean without extra shopping" video? Or 12.
Most of your shopping tips I can't use (dietary restrictions for the win!!!!) but your cooking methods/planning/preservation stuff I benefit from highly because I can adapt them to the foods I'm able to eat.
So, like, what would you do if you didn't have any of the fresh stuff? Just pantry, fridge, and freezer stuff that's already there?
It would not surprise me if you've already done this. I just haven't found it, yet.
love the video(always) - we literally ate out of the pantry and freezers all of January and some of February. We did a restock (still doing it) and I learned alot about my family- so now I just buy things that they like and I know they will eat to create less waste. Im waiting for a new vacation video!
Thank you Christine ☺️💕
You are so welcome!
I would love some tips for how to shop and cook if you live alone. Especially low-carb options.
I live alone and retired. I keep a pad on the frig and put things I need to get (by location in the store). If you only get what's on your list and stay in outside aisles (vegetables/fruit, dairy, meat, and frozen), you will save money.
I already do that,@@marydavis7250. I plan my meals for the week based on what I have on hand and what's on sale at the grocery store. I just don't have a lot of space to store bulk purchase items, so it's hard to get the best deals.
I struggle with this too. Apparently I only know how to cook for an army. I pretty much prep a meal and eat it until it’s gone but I get tired of the same meal over and over. I need to simplify but still get variety.’
Cindy. Freeze most of the meals in single portions band rotate. I always cook a lot with that in mind.
Thank you Christine ❤
I enjoy your videos so much. Thanks for the great content!
Glad you like them!
On the market for my first home.... I have been watching your videos religiously. Already done grocery store research in my area and plan on doing costs and save up a portion of money to full stock our pantry 🎉
I would love to see a video where you help someone budget (like you have done friends in past) who lives in an expensive grocery place! like LA, NYC, SF. Somewhere average people can't have a giant stockpile/freezer/etc.
Inspirational! I’m a budget shopper and your tips are always helpful!
And that $400 a month was for a family of SIX, one child is away at school now.
It’s a yes for me!
Enjoy your thinking of ways to do things. Thank you
Yes to the pineapple! Love these pantry challenges. I’m only buying loss leaders now, I’m very well stocked. Clearance stickers and loss leaders, it’s amazing what you can pull together. Still have plenty of spices/seasonings I made from last years garden and seedlings 🌱 are started for this year. 🎉🎉🎉
You BUY bread crumbs for meatloaf, when you keep bread in the house? Bread freezes well and a few slices can be removed for one person's toast or make crumbs for the meatloaf [we used crushed saltines instead, as they keep longer in a metal canister on the shelf].Powdered milk can be used in cooking, or used to stretch whole milk; milk can be frozen, just leave expansion room at top of carton.
I do all this every week. ❤
Excellent video and great tips! Thank you!
Thank you for your valuable tips!
Thank you ❤
Pineapple and ham only once a year or so. My late son loved it!!!
Hello my friend! Here watching! I spend way to much on groceries with 2 teen boys but meal planning does help. Love the recipes!
Christine! Long time viewer. Thank you for your content. Not only has it helped me save hundreds if not thousands over the many years I have watched you but it has inspired me to share what I have learned and my passion for food to others. I am currently creating a 8 week course to teach young single new mothers how to effectively use their food (and money)I’m so excited to be able to do it and pray it will enrich their lives as you have enriched ours!❤ thanks again!
I keep a running grocery list on my phone in lists and I keep a running menu in notes with ideas as well.
We love ham & pineapple pizza, I always make homemade pizza crust using my breadmaker to mix the dough.
Great video! You hit on two of the things that havecreally helped us in recent years: meal planning and pick up orders at Walmart. Keep up the great work!
The this week dinner bin is genius! I'm soooo going to try this!!
Since I started watching your videos I have come to the realization that we were wasting a lot of food- I really like your advice to go through what you have to "use up" and do a "use up" bin the fridge! grreat idea!!! thanks!
This was great Christine.
Thanks for your videos will start this now. How been cooking off stock pile for months ❤😊
I typically follow this same method.
I do sometimes have a hard time figuring out what sounds good to eat using the items I have on hand so one thing I have done is made a master list of meals that we enjoy. I have it broken down into protein categories. I printed this list and have it taped inside one of my cabinets, so that when I need some inspiration, I can go to this list and it makes menu planning a lot easier.
I meal prep twice a week for my mom too. My stepdad recently passed away and she knows how to cook nothing.congrats by the way on 600,000 been with you since the 10,000 calorie challenge.😂😂
Pineapple and pepperoni, with extra mozzarella hits the spot. Even if the spaghetti pizza sauce is not my favorite, no problem ! The pepperoni and pineapple combination is definitely a win. My Nann never makes it past the trip home. I do like it with a little bit of butter but most the time I just eat it straight out of the package. I never but it unless it’s on sale so it’s definitely a treat
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes with peas is the favorite for my family. 😋
Hey Christine, thanks for this! And all your content, I love your vids and especially your realistic and cheery approach on your vids. I've decided that after two weeks of explosive grocery bills (here in Australia, we love to shorten everything, so, "cost of living crisis" has become "cozzy lives") we're having an "eat from the freezer and pantry" week. And I'll stretch it to two if I can!
Also, classic me, I commented before I finished watching. SO, pineapple on pizza, yes!!! AND on burgers! An Aussie "burger with the lot" includes beetroot and pineapple! Yum!!! Also love the ingredients for the week bin. We (ok, I) write up my planned meals of the week on a little whiteboard on our fridge mostly so that I remember what I'm supposed to be using! The bin is a great idea! Bringing it all together. Love it.
Also should've just said before as well cos it can't be said enough. I really really appreciate that in so many of your videos you promote food pantries. It SUCKS that in your country and mine that so many people struggle to afford food but it sucks even more that there can be so much shame and embarrassment around that. I love that you promote and encourage food pantries in such a kind way because we can all be part of making it perfectly ok to go and take that help that's on offer. We don't want people to not have help because of shame.
Also love love love that you feed your mum :D Cooking for myself only for many years was/has been super annoying but it's always just lovely when people think of you. Frozen chopped up onions were one of my fave go-to helpers when solo cooking and even now that I cook for more because it just moves me from prep to meal so much quicker and is really easy to portion out exactly how much onion I want - especially if I was just making a frittata/scramble for myself.
This video is timely. I’m doing a low-spend challenge during February and March. I’m hoping to learn new skills that I can use going forward.
I just recently purchased naan for the first time. Of course it was on clearance. I put peanut butter and banana on it.
I LOVE the idea of the "Use It Up" bin! I'm going to implement that idea.
We also use the Stonefire Naan Bread for our pizza crust. SOOOO delicious!!!
‘A can of frozen veggies’😂
I did my first no-spend week last week - can't believe I haven't done before!!! Just got a whole pig yesterday so I have meat for a year!
Your cheeseburger meatloaf is one of my favorite comfort videos of yours I watch it all the time.😂😂
I love your channel.
Thank you so much!
Although I do most of my shopping the way it is in the video, I do not use pickup option because the fruit and veggies tend to be better when I pick them. I do keep my eye on the clearance section when shopping this method. Walmart is not my store of choice when it comes to groceries so I save those non-food purchases for separate pickup.
I almost cried this weekend, somehow my chest freezer got unplugged and I lost everything in it (it was warm, things were completely defrosted but I didn't know for how long). So now, I have to completely restock.....all my meats and meal preps for the next 2 plus months were lost.
and when you are on a budget its absolutely devastating.
I'm sorry😦
That's such a loss! You have all my frugal sympathy. 😢
Could you turn that in on insurance?
There should be alarms on freezers! So sad you lost all that food. An expensive loss.
