Great plan. 😁
Thanks! 😊
Great video and love all the details. Thank you! 💕
You are so welcome!
My meal plans and buying in bulk to separate items and freeze has been a stress reliever and I save so much money.
It's a huge help!
Totally can tell you’re a teacher, you have a way of explaining things very clearly and easy to understand! Thanks for the tips
Haha! Thank you :)
I thought she left teaching? I’ve been away from CZcams for a while though.
I do grocery pickup for everything but produce. I’m super picky and have to do that myself lol.
I totally get that!
I love seeing how other people meal plan! I do a lot of pantry cooking and shop sales to make my meal plans. Thanks for the tips Abby ❤
You are so welcome!
Planning is definitely key to staying in budget! Our nearest Walmart is 25 miles away... nearest Aldi is 30 miles away... nearest grocery store is 4 blocks. I shop seasonally and majorly take advantage of sales. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
That is awesome!
Thank you for doing these save some money videos even while 38 weeks pregnant 🤰🏻❤
You are so welcome!
Love this video. I was just telling my husband we gotta do better. We spend so much at Walmart each week and it’s mostly impulse buy. I need to start planning.
You got this!
I found your videos about month ago and used everything you talked about about in one of your other videos on budgeting..Meal planning has been a life saver for my budget. I REALLY enjoy all your videos and keep sharing them. They easy to follow very informative. Thank you
That is awesome! Thank you.
I was under the impression that Instacart charges a higher price than the items would cost if you went in and bought them in the store (more than just the $2 fee you mentioned) so I have never used it. I do take advantage of Walmart pickup, however. Thanks for all the great tips!
Walmart pickup is great!!
You are one smart cookie. You are a great teacher of all things
Well thank you!
Thank you for sharing this with us! 💕
No problem 😊
This WAS super helpful!! Very planned out process. Thank you for sharing!!!
You are so welcome!
You were very helpful and thank you for sharing. 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great budgeting and shopping. We don’t have Aldi in SA so my go to grocery store is H‑E‑B which is always a bit more expensive. But I definitely shop their meal deals and combo loco. Tyfs
Thanks for sharing!! H-E-B is great too!
Thanks for all your tips. Very helpful. I live alone and make bigger meals and freeze them. I like the meal plan idea. Love your videos!
Great way to do it! And thank you for watching
These are such great tips! I’ve been getting caught up with buying things I don’t need. Mainly when I see things on sale at Kroger for a really good price, I buy them even when I don’t need it. Trying to do majority of my shopping at aldi and just get a few essentials at Kroger each week. Thanks for your tips and motivation!
That's really smart! And you're welcome!
Good job...thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Vera ----You're getting Big 😊
She is! Time is flying by
great job
Thank you!
I can sympathize with the breathlessness. I suffered with that during both pregnancies. Great video.
Thank you! 😊
TY...Great tips.
Glad it was helpful!
We buy staples, then buy what's on sale and go from there. Having a small freezer helps very much
Great way to do it!
How does Aldi pick up work?
Are the prices the same/similar to in store shopping?🛒
Do they bring it to your car like Walmart curbside pickup? 🚘
Yes they do! sam set up :)
I love shopping at Aldi's they're very cheap so is Walmart. You're glowing in this video I'm so happy for you have a safe delivery
Thank you so much!!
This was great, thanks for sharing with us. Hope your delivery goes well!
Thanks so much!
Thank you lot of work in this video very helpful ! Looking beautiful momma
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed
aldi and lidl is where its atttt for grocery shopping on a budget!
I so agree!!
Thank you so much for sharing!! We have a United in our small town which is awesome!! The biggest town with aldi and Walmart is 50 miles. We've been debating is it cheaper with gas to buy local or drive! Praying everything goes well for you and baby!
We have that debate in our house a lot too! To drive or not to drive. And thank you!
Hi Abby! I love your channel 🥰
I made your recipe for fried rice with the eggs, soy sauce & mixed vegetables. It is really teally good 😃
Sybil is old enough to say "bye" to us 💞 where did that time go? And, we're all very excited that we are going to meet your new baby soon. 🥳
Your overall budget guidance and grocery shopping regiments have helped me tremendously ❤❤
Oh I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing!
Love your video- very healthy
Thank you!
We would have sandwich 🥪 on our kids game night or crock pot meal anything easy.. i would meal plan frozen meals for after baby days.. great job meal plans
Love that!
I love shopping at Aldi!
Me too!!
Take it easy girl!❤❤❤
We're trying over here!
The cat was cracking me up
Haha, me too!
Me too!! Haha
I wish we had an Aldi! I miss that place! They always had the best deals.
They do have great deals!
The baby looks a lot lower than it was last video that you posted. Looks like you're getting close.
Yes, getting closer and closer!
How do you include house hold essentials in the budget. Do you set a different budget with that or does it get included with the grocery budget? like toilet paper, shampoo, soap..laundry soap????
It's included in grocery budget! I do my best to make that work
Hi Abby, I was wondering if you have considered selling just the meal planning part from your budget kit. I currently have a yearly financial budget binder from the Budget mom that Im using, but I dont have all the meal planning sheets in it, I really like yours alot. And I would absolutely love to buy just the meal planning sheets to use, I really like the ones you made that you used & showed in this video. Please let me know if that ever comes available and I will buy it! Thanks, also loved this video, so helpful!

Not all Aldi’s have grocery pick up. The one closest to my house doesn’t 😢
Awh! Hopefully they expand to more soon!
What kind of refrigerator is that?? I love all the drawers at the bottom.
GE! And thank you!
What do you like to do for baby food? When my baby started eating solids I struggled trying to plan/make different kinds of purées and also hated having to buy it. I found it to be so expensive and frustrating for me! Would love to hear your thoughts🥰
Research baby led weaning, we skipped purees in my family!
Great idea for a future video!! Thanks Erin!
I love pick up but I can't use my WIC card which provides a decent amount of food for me each month for my daughter 😢 i wish they'd change it!
Wish they would change that too!! Thank you for watching and for sharing !
I may have missed it, Do you count cat food & cat litter, toilet paper, etc within your grocery budget, or is that separate?
Yes that's included in grocery budget! We do our best to stick with that rule of thumb.
@@thesimplifiedsaver7052 Thank you!
I love grocery pickup however I'm not sure if my Aldi does it, I'll have to check. I was using Walmart pickup and loved it especially because I felt like it saved money. However, I have recently stopped using Walmart pickup because every time I put in an order they would take out the amount of the groceries ordered from our checking account and then when I pick up the groceries that amount taken out will then be put back into our account and then days later another total taken out, this totally messed my checking account up. I know they have rollbacks, substitutes, etc. but they need to learn how to do it like Instacart I never have this problem. Anyway, I hope everything goes well with the new baby! Thanks for the tips!
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. What a pain! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing!
Yeah I hate when they do that. I know I should be keeping better track of my bank account but it's still messed me up
Hi Abby! I purchased the Planner on Wednesday and am really excited to use it. I am curious though if I will receive an email with a PDF to download? I've only received an order confirmation letting me know i would get another email once my order shipped. I was under the impression I would be able to print it almost immediately as I opted to download it, not have it mailed to me. I also sent you and email, just haven't heard back. I know things take time but I'm a little confused as to what the next step is. TIA!
Email me at abbythedford@gmail.com
Random question, is this budget strictly for food only. Or does it include household items that you would get at the grocery store such as dishsoap, paper towels, etc.?
It also includes household items/cleaning supplies! Try our best to make that work.
I'm wondering how the $100/person/month works with a one-person household. I spend about $50-60 a week for myself, and that's making 2-3 dinners per week plus breakfast, lunch, and snacks. My baby is on formula so he's definitely over $100/month LOL
I totally get it! It can be tough with one person. Try halving it and see if that works for you!
Aldi; how is it supposed to be pronounced, "like" your choice in replies.
