Just a little suggestion... Did you know if you take your potato peels, coat them with oil and seasonings, put them on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven until crispy you have chips and don't waist any of the potato 😁 They are delicious

@sharendonnelly7770 11 месяцев назад

Brooke, you are so right! "Meal Planning" is what you find on sale at the store and work around that. I've done this for years. Trying to "plan meals" isn't realistic when you're on a budget. What is important, being good at knowing what your family likes and applying that to those sale items. "Easy peasey", per Brooke. Great video!

@lilrustee Год назад

I don’t understand why people would doubt you. Just because they don’t get those prices doesn’t mean you don’t. I don’t usually find them but I don’t go hunting and our store is ancient and crazy. But just because I don’t see those prices doesn’t mean you don’t! You do you Boo! Love your videos!!!

@walkingthepath4964 Год назад

I watch a lot of these types of videos, prices really do vary sooo much state to state. Midwest generally seems to be much lower overall. Some people always find meat, vegetables, bakery, etc. on clearance, some never have that in their stores. Most other video creators also end up showing their receipts too. I think folks are just frustrated with the varying price/availability right now because times are extra tough. Even if there is a cost difference for me, I appreciate all the dinner ideas and hard work that goes into these videos.

@christinainmichigan6726 Год назад

I am in Michigan and our Kroger’s have horrible prices. We don’t have as many markdowns either. Here in my area we have Aldi which is higher then Walmart, Walmart, a store called Meijer it was the first store here in the 70s to sell food and clothes it was like a warehouse now it is a regular everything store and Kroger’s. All our little mom and pop like IGA closed years ago. It cost 160.00 at Walmart last week to get groceries for 2 weeks. It is just the husband and me. I wasn’t feeling good so I did grocery delivery. First time I ever tried it. I don’t care for it I am weird and like to grocery shop. Doing grocery delivery at Walmart was cheaper then Aldi which last month it wasn’t that way, plus I get free delivery. It is a shame we have to eat these days. If we could not buy groceries and make the stores take a hit like we do shopping, they might lower their prices. I also always try to make sure we have leftovers. I am trying to get more for my money.

I have a really hard time looking at a pile of food and knowing what to make and how many meals I can get. Anyone else? This is why I LOVE watching all the meals you make with whatever you have on the shelf!

@viviannichols3582 Год назад

It is kind of like a puzzle. I always try to spot the items that will spoil the fastest and try to incorporate them first. I also like to prepare a few things to have on hand like cooked rice. I’m more of a one dish meal type: stir-fry, salad, chili, soup, curry, etc. I find it easier than doing a main dish with sides.

Another idea if you have corn tortillas, eggs, onion you can make Migas . All you do is cube corn tortillas sauté to make soft in pan add onion together till translucent then add eggs and garlic powder salt and pepper. Scrambled all together. Serve and you can add salsa on top if you want.

@athia37 5 месяцев назад

Yes Mam ! ❤❤❤ " Migas" !

@sadinasarvela4315 Год назад

With those hotdog buns and bread, a couple of eggs some milk and cinnamon, you can make a French toast casserole. With the apples you could cook them up for a nice topping on the French toast casserole. Just a thought.

When you asked at the beginning of the video, how many days of meals you could get out of those groceries, I guessed 5. Because you are amazing at stretching your budget and stretching your food.

Oh and it's so funny when me and my wife got together she thought it was funny that I ate pineapple and cottage cheese because she had never heard of that before I'm from Indiana she's from Kentucky and in Kentucky she says they eat tomatoes with their cottage cheese which it's pretty damn good too because she had me try it but pineapple and cottage cheese never gets old I love it! You should try it with tomatoes too because it really is good for more savory taste!

@SouthernFrugalMomma Год назад

My husband loves it with tomatoes! I’ve never tried it. Though I have put cottage cheese in my lasagna before. It’s pretty good, so I’m sure the tomatoes would be good now that I think about it.

@beverlybolden3401 Год назад

Since you usually have eggs from your chickens, do you ever make quiche? You could make the "impossible" quiche that makes its own crust and use your shelf-stable milk in your pantry. Leftover chicken, ham, real bacon bits, cheese, etc. Great way to use a piece of an onion, bell pepper, or other various veggies. Leftovers heat up nicely in the microwave. Just an idea.

Daddy had a restaurant back in the 50's before the advent of frozen french fries and this is how he did his fries...frying them twice not only makes them crisp it makes them fast b/c all he had to do was drop them when he got an order and they'd be brown by the time the rest of the order was ready...no cold fries.

@astone3871 Год назад

DH and I spent time overseas and one night we watched a restaurant owner whose kitchen was basically in the middle of his restaurant do the same thing with his French fries. When he was slow he would partially cook several baskets of fries and when the waiter would tell him what was needed he would finish cooking the right amount quickly when the rest of that order was almost ready. He had no problem keeping up with orders that way. That was the most fascinating night watching how he ran his kitchen.

@jillgross6232 Год назад

Lol! I never make a list or plan. I just do like you do, head for clearance first. There's been months where Ive feed our family of three on 200$. Was it awesomely always, nope, but we didn't go hungry. Potatoes, beans and rice go a long way. Is this how we eat on a regular basis, no. My typical grocery bill is 500$ a month. When there's an emergency, we can get by on 200-250$! And it works!

@jerrieanderson2245 Год назад

I just discovered your videos this morning. I've been watching all day! I went through my chest freezer, fridge freezer, pantry and cabinets. I made a list of everything we have, then I made a list of meals (so far I'm up to 18) including the ingredients needed. I do like you though! I NEVER have a plan. I buy something on sale whether meat or vegetables then Google recipes. 9/10 times I still don't have all the ingredients, so I have to wing it. Usually works, but not always! LOL

so when your vid was at the 19 min mark, you were askin what we woulda made - i would have done a frittata with the eggs, some of the shredded cheeze and onion for breakfast. Lunch? I woulda cut up the dogs, put them with the chili, heated it thru, and topped some of the fritos with that, and then used some of the shredded cheeze on top, and made grilled chz sammies or used the tortillas with some of the cheeze for quesadillas as a companion side for the chilli dog salad, lol.

@capricornqueen6916 Год назад

Looking at the haul, the first thing that stuck out to me were the hamburger and squash. My mind instantly went to a squash casserole and meatloaf

@LifePrepared Год назад

I can't plan ahead. I live in a very small town and there is always something not available. Last winter there were no onions for 3 months. If you don't get chicken the first day it gets stocked, you probably won't. Walmart doesn't mark down produce but they do donate it to our county food bank. So I get what I can on my budget and make it work. I actually was able to feed 3 adults for $100 recently. It was tough but we ate well because I forage and have a garden.

@lolareh8756 Год назад

@jillgott6567 Год назад

I am a numbers geek. A pound of meat is the equivalent of 16 ounces of protein. 3-3.5 is what is recommended for an adult per meal. If, you all have Cottage Cheese, Egg for breakfast, Cheese for snack, Beans for lunch then using 2/3 pound of hamburger should still be enough protein. Even for the kids especially if they drink milk . I think alot of times folks forget we should be getting nutrition throughout the day and not just in one meal. Also, we as Americans are used to eating large steaks, whole chicken breasts at one meal

I know this was a year ago, but if you read this, you are right. When you are on a tight budget, you hit the sales and clearances first. Meat is the most expensive, so you focus on what deal you can get on it first and then move to your produce deals. I have always done that especially at the starting of the month with your first paycheck.

@kathybrown8026 Год назад

I like to inventory what I have at home and then list what I need to complete those meals and see how many days that would cover! I buy those few things and then I go from there to shop the sales and clearance to get the rest of the week! I often go two weeks and usually only go back in 2 Nd week to do the cost cutter items and milk or other items I am running low on! This keeps me out of the store for most of the month with two good sized shops and only necessities and cost cutters in between! If I can make it the 2 Nd week without going back I do!

@juliegraham1126 Год назад

You can make some "sour cream" by blending up cottage cheese til smooth, and adding a few drops of lemon juice. When tomatoes are out of season I have drained canned tomatoes for tacos and saved the juice in the freezer for spaghetti or chili.

When you separate onions. You have to remove that membrane between the onion.

I shop the same as you do. I do better that way then meal planning. I shop the sales and discounts and plan around them. I buy generic if cheaper and off brands. I also buy in bulk to help things stretch.
