      I do a savory oatmeal. I prefer the steel cut oats, but I will eat whatever. I use Mrs Dash instead of sugar, diced onion, diced tomatoes, diced bell pepper... I have a Cajun Trinity season blend (powdered onion, celery, bell pepper) that I sometimes use.

    Mindy- I’m interested to see how your budget morphs when your son hits that 13YO/14YO growth spurt. My 14YO grew 8 inches in 2 years and is now inhaling protein. I’d love more ideas for feeding kids with bottomless pits for stomachs! He’ll eat a bowl of cereal or two while I serve up dinner, eat dinner, then snack on leftovers and ask for more. It’s like feeding hobbits.
    Once at 11 pm I put my foot down at being asked to make more food after I was in my PJs in bed. đŸ€Ł
    I bought an air fryer so my hungry teen athletes could make their own food safely and with a minimum of cleanup.
    Anyway- it’s a shock to the budget.

      Yes teenagers eat like crazy! Are they hungry or board. I keep mine on sort of a schedule. Also Lots vegetables, fruit, yogurt loaded with fruit , peanut butter etc also flaxseed an protein powder, Trail mix. Also if they eat up their snacks before the end of week they choose eggs, oatmeal, peanut butter on saltines, or plain saltines, Ramon noodles , I buy jars of applesauce, homemade pudding or jello. They are about to become adults an this is important for them to learn how expensive is. Healthy meals an snacks less hungry. Hope this helps

      Its fine if they are not gaining weight? Mote fresh fruit and veggies. I always enjoyed fresh carrots and cauliflower raw when younger. You can prep it at night & leave in a bowl of fresh cold water (with a teeny pinch of salt) in the fridge.. It keeps a day or so if you change the water every evening..

    I found that the Velveeta dupe at Walmart is not only cheaper but is made from actual dairy while Velveeta now has canola oils and a bunch of junk unpronounceable ingredients! I also am a huge Snickers bar fan and found the ones at Walmart (yes, they have a Great Value brand of snickers called Caramel, Peanuts and Nougat Bar) and if you buy them in a six pack they’re $0.50 per bar and taste the same to me. They’re 1.76 ounces vs the Snickers 1.86 oz but I can’t tell the difference especially since I’ve paid $1.50+ per bar for these at times! 😼 So a savings of $1/ bar is huge to me and work well for a quick packable pick-me-up snack for my work day. I also enjoy the Great Value Bagels at 6 for $1.98. I can’t even make them for that price (have you seen the cost of bread flour lately?) I also make my own sandwich bread these days as we don’t eat a lot of breads but when we want some I either make mine in the stand mixer or make the no knead kind. I’m considering making up several loaves worth now and freezing the dough. đŸ€”

      You can also take the frozen okra and cook it in masala sauce and wind up with bhindi masala, an Indian dish that I like almost as much as I like fried okra, and eat it over rice or by itself with some na’an bread. Walmart does already have frozen okra coated for frying, that I also cook in the air fryer, so I usually have both in my freezer. Not as good as homegrown but I can’t buy fresh okra here in the Pacific Northwest so it’s better than nothing. 😀

    The more bargains we look for the more competitive supermarkets will start to be. We eat dried past once a week, some canned tomatoes in a pan while the pasta is boiling, pinch of salt black pepper, oregano & basil.. If you like garlic they do frozen cubes that are economical because they last, and if you want to, a pinch of dried chilli flakes.. Add some drained canned tuna (in oil is nicest but watch the prices, it doesn't matter really) Ordinary grated at home cheese is nice on the top.. Sometimes go mad and scatter a few washed off jar olives on top.. Make your own garlic bread!

    I use an Aeropress for single serve filtered coffee. There's a learning curve to it if I want to do multiple servings in one go, but the good thing is that all I need for my coffee is a tea kettle to boil water with and a paper filter made specifically for the Aeropress. Due to its very small size (paper filter), it can be easily rinsed out to be reused a couple of times, saving us a lot of waste from our traditional coffee filter.

      I have seen the 12packs on line, but I can't find them in my store. Maybe they're right in front of me and I just don't see them.

    My local food pantry offers bread to anyone at the end of Tuesdays( after all in need have been served), They always have too much and they throw it away if no one wants it. I live alone now so I get 2 or 3 loaves every other week and pick up for my elderly neighbors. It's very good kroger artisan bread too! This is stewardship as well. I cant imagine them throwing it away. I also volunteer there a couple of times a month. Call and ask if they throw things out.

    You can actually make savory oats. I used to make it wuth a little tomato paste from tube and curry powder and a little bit of presauteed onions for yummy meal. You can add mushrooms, ground beef, tuna etc if you need more. That was my go to meal when needing to be very frugal.

    Applesauce is easy to make. Traditionally, boil pieces then mash and strain. I wash, instead pot 10 minutes, blanch, wipe away peel, cut to core, push through potato ricer. Can get kids involved. Also less plastic packaging. I use which ever sweet apple is on sale.

    Such a great video!! Thank you for sharing this!!!! With the shaky green top crumbled Parmesan, i didn't try fresh until my 30's from a Hello Fresh meal & the difference was astoundingly better! Also recommend the wool dryer balls as well. The frozen bread loaves idea is also great because of the many uses, plus like you were saying bread is a staple ingredient. The mother day shower box restore gift set seems like a wonderful idea too!!!

    I still cannot get over how much cheaper your food is! I buy a loaf of bread for nearly $5! Tomatoes are like $8 per kilo right now. It's so hard!!

    • @ME-hh9fb
      @ME-hh9fb Pƙed 14 dny +2

      Oh no! Tomatoes are 88-cents a pound here in Texas. I am growing cherry tomatoes in a pot on my apartment balcony, and already have a bunch of small tomatoes on my plant. We make sliced tomatoes and cucumbers in Italian dressing as a side dish a couple of times a week, so refreshing and cool. But bread is crazy expensive here too - I have started making my own biscuits and tortillas to save money.

    Hi I have the same coffee dilemma in my house. I bought the reusable K cups for keurig. You just put your ground coffee in them and makes one cup! Way cheaper to do it this way. I think a 6 pack is $9 on Amazon. I’ve had the same ones for years. Just have to wash them frequently 😊

    • @connieb6841
      @connieb6841 Pƙed 16 dny +1

      Do you know that they make paper filters for the reusable K cups? I’ve purchased them at Walmart. Also have seen them in my local Kroger and am sure they can be found on Amazon 😊. They save so much cleaning time!

      So glad I could give an idea! :) I found that if they're a little too soft after mixing, I can pop them in the freezer for about 10 minutes and they're perfect for me. :)
