    Our grocery bill, family of 4, was $300 a week on average. I started making meal plans off your videos and have lowered our bill to $200 a week! That is huge for us. You are literally a life saver here in our household. Cooking and meal planning are not strengths of mine and you have been an amazing resource for me ❤

      It is making a difference for us also. We have just become empty nesters (with an occasional visit from a chick) but our bills are ridiculous. Sometimes we just go out for sandwiches because THAT can be creeper and easier. Watching your videos give me hope and inspiration. I’ve started buying dry milk (because we don’t really drink it) just to have it for cooking and it won’t expire so fast. Now I know coconut milk can be used instead of heavy cream I’m going to get that. Is the shelf life longer for coconut cream?

    Oh my goodness, I love your videos. Two reasons- I’m getting out of a 20+ year relationship with someone who was very picky and judgmental. His thoughts became my thoughts about most things. I have this terrible anxiety about cooking and his pickiness didn’t help. Through the years I learned to mute out what my own tastes were. Watching your videos helps me find what I actually like, and makes very accessible recipes that I can look forward to preparing. The second reason is because my daughter usually has friends stay over with us and I feel bad not cooking for them. Again, the anxiety comes in. I’m such a slow cook too. That enchilada recipe is totally something I can do and I feel like they would love it. Thank you so much for sharing these recipes. No hype or unnecessary backstory, just great food 👍🏼

    Wal-Mart usually has Great Value "cream of" soups for much less than the Campbell's brand. I've noticed a lot of "shrinkflation" where frozen veggies are concerned. Thank you for mentioning about checking the price per ounce, as there are many who haven't been taught that. It would be nice if all high schools equipped their students with financial skills.

      I'm really getting serious about my grocery and gas bills, not to mention electricity. I've started incorporating homemade biscuits, cornbread, fried bread, dumplings, anything I can to add to our meals. I spent 100.00 for a 2 people budget for the week and that's just the basic ingredients needed. I add homemade dumplings to any stew, soup or beans as well, just trying to make everything stretch and no eating out at all.

    We love tator tot casserole!!! I make my double bacon cheeseburger version as well. Add seasoning, ketchup and mustard to the meat mixture, a can of cheese soup and roughly a half can of milk. I just judge it. You'll know the consistency it should be. I then either fry up a couple of pieces of bacon or have bacon pieces ready. I put about half the bacon in the hamburger mixture. Then the I put one layer of tator tots on the bottom, add the meat mixture, a handful of cheese, then another layer of tator tots. Since it's doubled I bake at 375 for about 40 minutes. Then I pull it out cover with cheese add the rest of the bacon and put it in to melt. You can put whatever you want on it. Condiments, lettuce, tomato, pickles, you pick. I love pickles so I just eat them on the side. My hubby likes his with hot sauce.
    Side note #1: This is far from healthy, but is very filling. We are also a family of 7. All those tator tots are a belly filler and stretch a meal with a small amount of meat.
    Side note #2: I've always served veggies or salad on the side, I've never seen green beans put in it. I LOVE green beans. Now I have to try it next time I make the regular version. Thanks again for more wonderful content.

    I appreciate you showing alternative ingredient options from time to time! I'm not a big beef person and often use ground turkey anyway but those turkey and rice tacos just look delicious. I also am excited to try that pasta! I eat pasta more than I probably should but if I'm not spending much money on it I will justify it 😂

    Hi Julia!! The turkey rice tacos is an awesome idea! I will definitely try that. I usually take a can of drained black beans and throw it in with my taco meat. The breakfast casserole is also on my to make list! You’re the best. ❤️

    Thank you for posting so many easy, simple but delicious meals!! I love the fact that you use regular everyday ingredients that are easy to find at the store. You need to create a "5 ingredients or less" cookbook. I would definitely buy it! I just discovered you today and I already printed several recipes that I want to try.

    Green onions are no longer less than $1 for me. They're now $1.50 a bunch for teeny little skinny ones. 😭😭 It's daylight robbery! But if you buy a bunch and put them in water and leave them in a sunny window or under a grow light, they will last a long time and you can keep cutting the tops and they'll grow again. Since I've been putting them in a pot outside or in a jar inside, they're practically free now! You can do the same with lots of herbs. Thank you so much for these ideas! I need all the cheap recipes I can get nowadays.
