Meal planning has completely changed the way I food shop.With the current cost of living crisis my food budget was having to go up month after month but since meal planning I actually have money left in my bills and food account at the end of the month.

@TheMummyBubble Месяц назад

It’s scary how much food now costs - you have to really put the effort in to keep the costs manageable. That’s fantastic work by you, meal planning definitely works when done properly

2 tips - 1. use parts of produce you usually trash. Cantaloupe seeds can be eaten raw or roasted, added to smoothies. The white part of the watermelon rind can be added to pickle juice and then wait a week and eat for pickled rinds (very tasty). 2. Most people/families tend to eat a lot of the same meals. When you have a few minutes, price them out, just like Chefs in restaurants do. Try to eat more of the lower cost meals you like and apply the saving to an expensive meal you love. Prawns 🍤 are expensive where I live $5.99lb vs chicken $0.99lb, once every 3-4 months it’s $0.59lb. So it might be lemon chicken(M), taco chicken(W), curry chicken (F) to eat prawns 🍤 on Saturday. Right now eggs at $1.53dz and winter at $3.99dz, so lots of different egg dishes and I might freeze some for baking before the price goes up.

I absolutely love these ideas, and that second one is such a great way to bring costs down without giving up foods you enjoy the most. Love it.

@staceywarner4910 Месяц назад

I love batch cooking something that i can have in multiple ways throughout out the week. Eg. Chilli. Can be standard with rice, jacket potato filling, loaded nachos or sweet potato wedges, tex mex shepherds pie.. so flexible

@staceywarner4910 Месяц назад

Also this week I spent more on my lunch planning but that's because I get SO fussy with lunch and I bought something I know I Will still want tomorrow

@TheMummyBubble Месяц назад

Yes saves so much time and you can make it different every day! Great ideas here.

@daniellecomeau2996 Месяц назад

The upper freezer in my kitchen is affectionately called the produce graveyard. Bags and containers of things being saved before they pass over to the other side or those items being reincarnated.

@TheMummyBubble Месяц назад

Haha, that has made me laugh out loud! We all have corners of the kitchen where things seem to go to die

@jeremisaiahdeguzman5012 Месяц назад

Hi there I buy veg that is in season and use them in caseroles and cut down on the meat, i chop sausages up and so we all get some meat, it just helps has most of the times the pack size ie 6 or 8 do not look much but cut up with all the lovely veg makes it a practical dish.

@TheMummyBubble Месяц назад

Yum, a really nice meal idea and such a good idea on chopping up the sausages - sounds like a delicious meal

@LauraN-do2of Месяц назад

1. Cook mostly from scratch and buy whole produce 2. Eat leftovers and meal prep 3. Only buy fresh perishables for specific meals or recipes. Otherwise stick to canned or frozen to limit waste 4. Keep a well stocked pantry with staples (rice, flour, pasta, sugar, etc) 5. Bake from scratch (bread, muffins, pizza crust) 6. Use up what you already have at home. Or do pantry cooking challenges once a month. I live alone and my food budget is 200 - 300$. I don’t eat out more than once a month if at all.

@TheMummyBubble Месяц назад

Fantastic tips and you're clearly doing really well!

@georgiawise8375 Месяц назад

@dianejennings50 Месяц назад

Someone gave me cold press packets. Too strong for me so I use half a packet with creamer French vanilla yum yum so it lasts longer and is enjoyed 😊❤❤❤

@deborahbain9915 Месяц назад

You can bulk out mince with rolled oats

@TheMummyBubble Месяц назад

Great tip! Thank you

Meatless meals are economical. Single person in the UK, £100/month budget for all general household stuff, including food, cleaning and laundry producte, loo rolls and the like.

@TheMummyBubble Месяц назад

That’s fantastic! Meat is so so expensive, we have been trying to find more veggie recipes the kids will happily eat too

@tracynorman4883 Месяц назад

Wow! I'm single and budget £50 every week! Rarely much under that. Have dairy intolerance so that adds a bit extra, but yeah meat is the most expensive. We'll done z

@stewarthoi Месяц назад

Buy fruits and vegetables that are seasonal (cheaper and fresher). Eat more chicken as it tends to be the cheapest protein source (followed by canned tuna and pork).

@hello-vs4me Месяц назад

Aldi and Albertson's has the best sales and mark downs

@TheMummyBubble Месяц назад

I've not heard of Albertson's, are they a big national chain?

Our tips: 1. Eat plant based. Beans, lentils and tofu are cheaper and have a longer shelf life than meat. Easier to prepare also. 2. Cook and eat mostly at home. (We get two takeout pizzas from a local shop once a week. It’s about $35 and lasts all week). 3. Limit alcohol to special occasions or not at all.

@TheMummyBubble Месяц назад

So true, meat adds a crazy amount to your weekly costs, and on alcohol too.

In the US it makes a huge difference where you live. We are a family of 4 and live in Connecticut (ca-ching, ca-ching). Our goal right now is $175 a week. Ideally $150. We've started using Azure Standard (a bulk food company) for a few staples (rice, beans, some canned goods). I know we could go cheaper, but for us what we put in our bodies is really important, so we're ok having this be a larger line item and skimping in other ways. But meal planning is an absolute must and our leftovers go with my husband to work for lunch.

@TheMummyBubble Месяц назад

That's so interesting, I'm not sure how much the variation is between the regions here actually is. It certainly varies a lot between supermarkets and not all deals are offered in every branch/nation.

Hey Vicky Smith, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
