      My step mother taught me how to be a thrifty shopper. My mom never taught me anything. Ive passed on everything I learned to my kids that are now grown. I think your money is better in your pocket than being lazy shopping at the store. Always look at your local ads before shopping. We only eat what is on sale weekly

      Ram1593 B it was a bit challeniging, especially for a first timer!

    I always try to stock up when I have the money and my fiancé never gets it. He’s always questioning why I bought a second gallon of milk when we still have 3/4 of a gallon. But then in 10 days when the original gallon is gone and our paycheck is still 4 days off, I pull that second gallon out of the freezer and I’m like Moses parting the Red Sea. 😂

    Dinner this week? We are going through a really busy time in our family right now, so I have just started a new cooking routine that I absolutely LOVE!
    I'm off work Mondays and only have one kid home, so I make sure I order groceries online to arrive Monday morning at 8:00.
    Then I cook ONE BIG meal Monday during the day and one small meal of something fresh (like salad or something that doesn't like the freezer). We have the little meal for dinner Monday and the big meal for dinner Tuesday. And then we freeze the rest. Usually 2-3 pig portions.
    We will then take out something from the freezer that I made a previous week twice more that week and one day we will have sandwiches for dinner. And that is the entire week's weekdays. I COOK ONCE!
    Then I have more fun with the dinners on the weekends.
    But it saves SO much time and money and we still have good food every day!!!

    Saturday- Pulled BBQ chicken wraps
    Sunday- Turkey Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and salad
    Monday- Baked Chicken, Brussel Sprouts, and sweet potatoes
    Tuesday- Salmon, Quinoa and roasted veggies
    Wednesday- Leftovers
    Thursday- Nacho perogies
    Friday- Going out for dinner. Hubby and I got a gift card for a date night at Christmas, so we decided to use it for Valentines.

    Thank you sage Jordan for sharing your wisdom.
    Our family has 2 full time working adults with opposite schedules. It works best for us if I meal plan the week before, batch cook all the meals at once on the weekend, then reheat & eat all week long.
    This week I'm cooking 6 different dinners and family breakfasts, but only needed 7 ingredients from the store because - HELLO SHELF COOKING! I have over THIRTY of the ingredients I needed already.
    I'm a believer, and I'll never meal plan differently ever again.

    I just started a new meal plan system for every 2 weeks of shopping. Using a large picture frame with the days of the week listed out behind the glass, and listing the meals per day on the outside with a dry erase marker. It hangs in our kitchen. For some reason, we stick to it so much better when it’s posted up where the whole family can see . This week it’s tacos, beef tips and noodles, crock pot pork chops, and baked spaghetti with salads and sandwiches as fillers. I also list lunches and breakfast. For now, I just write the plan out in a notebook to shop by but I’m hoping to get ahold of your planner! Thanks always for the inspiration!

    You are truly an inspiration to soooo many of us! I really mean that. I don't write on CZcams often but I wanted you to know you ARE making a difference in people's lives 💜 I used to adore cooking until about 6 years ago when I suddenly developed a neurological condition, things became increasingly difficult to do due to my condition and I lost some of my passion for cooking. Since then, I have been lucky enough to give birth to 2 beautiful babies (now 4yrs and 2.5yrs). Somewhere between my health problems, looking after the kids and life's other hurdles, I fell into the trap of "convenience food" (unfortunately I'm not just talking about buying pre diced squash 😋) which has taken it's toll on our health, wellbeing and DRAINED our bank accounts. Your video's have honestly inspired me to make a conscious effort to get myself back in the game by meal planning (with MUCH more shelf cooking) and using your productivity tips to help be ahead of the game. Also I just love watching you. You always bring a smile to my face. Keep being you because you are a DIAMOND 💎

    I love French bread. Toast it for a snack. Make French bread pizzas. Slice it for sandwiches. Use it for Texas toast. And you can’t beat $1.
    I also love how you don’t care about freezing food for 2 years and using canned vegetables. I can’t even explain how awful I feel when people get crazy about only eating fresh. We work with what makes our kids happy and healthy and full without going broke and being wasteful with rotten produce.

      Dominique Myers I love that they are eco friendly.. They will never be in the cards for me, unfortunately, because the process takes longer with 💩 diapers, and I have a weak stomach to start with. I had to clean up a 2 year old who was eating regular food, but the diaper was explosive. That was my worst memory in ten years of babysitting and Changing hundreds of diapers (many being cloth..) For me it’s worth the money to not have to touch or wash that off the diaper/do the extra laundry/have it mixed in.. I do wish it was easier on the planet though.😢

    Money saving tip
    Instead of buying beans in a can you can get them dried in a bag. You let them sit overnight and then boil them for 2 hours or until soft to the taste. You can freeze them or can them in jars. It's a lot cheaper than buying them in metal cans.

It works well for us, and I feel like I waste less food and try more things than I did when I meal-planned and shopped each week! Each meal that is supposed to be one meal for 4 turns into 6 portions (2 meals for us). My daughter and I share an adult portion each meal. I am anxious to try some of your recipes when I need fill-ins, though! BTW....I got the plague/flu starting last week, too!! So far, it has only been me that got it, but it has suuuuuucccked per usual. Got it last year, too! Crazy thing is I am the major handwasher in my family!! I must have walked through a cloud of flu at Target or something!! Uuuugghh! Lol!
