I agree. Scan Hispanic grocery ads in your area. Most have lower meat and produce cheaper. They also have a lot of in-store sales. I got a pint of strawberries for 67 cents last week

@karenr7931 6 месяцев назад

Another suggestion ... It is always a good idea to check your receipts before you leave the store. Something my mother taught me. I have made a habit of using self check out where available due to cashier error and incorrect prices, particularly on sale items and discounted products.

@juliewoods6810 4 месяца назад

I love the Albertsons/Safeway app but every single time my receipt is wrong. Anywhere from $1 to $9 once! So definitely worth double checking:)

@salvease 4 месяца назад

Many stores have policies about price accuracy. Often the item is free if its price is under five dollars.

@maureenmannion6748 3 месяца назад

Something to consider about self check out. The ultimate goal of those calling the economic shots is to eliminate human checkers altogether and replace them with machines. I won't use the self check out if at all possible for that reason. The people at the bottom rings of society need work.

@maureenmannion6748 2 месяца назад

I do not use self checkout because the Elites want to cut humans and replace with robots and self check out. I urge shoppers not to use self checkout because people will lose jobs.

@NOVAFrugalFamily 5 месяцев назад

I take an inventory at the end of the month and do my meal plan based on that. I just can’t believe that everyone doesn’t do this. I buy everything at the cheapest price possible to stock the fridge, freezer and pantry and it allows me to do it again the next month. I spend $200 per month for our family of three. All of these tips are great. Also download apps and save coupons which gives you great discounts on lots of things at the stores and even free things. Great tips and I hope it helps people save lots.

In Alaska, there is a program people can sign up for to be called when there is a roadkill moose. If you get a call and agree to take it, then you are responsible for going to pick it up.... like, with no help ... so bring a flatbed. Usually the roadkill moose are pretty beaten up from whatever car they ran in front of, but sometimes the damage is minimal. Ariel and Eric over on Simple Living Alaska have done it a couple times.

I am blessed to have extra freezer space and bought butter when it was on sale at Christmas time a couple of years ago. I think I bought 20 pounds and am still not through all of it. I also stock up on meat when it is on sale. Normally it’s beef or pork or chicken. A couple of months ago I was going to make a meat run and all three were on sale. For $300, I got what normally would’ve been $900 worth of meat and it will last us more than six months.

Going from Door Dash at $15 a meal to a fairly healthy frozen meal and maybe a side salad or fruit for $4 is a great start for those who are single and busy with jobs!!! I did that first, now I am venturing into very inexpensive meals that run about $2 per serving. Take those baby steps. You will still save and not overwhelm yourself.

Oh and Asian stores in my area (the Upstate of South Carolina) had Tofu cheaper by as much as a dollar. I buy once a month the tofu and dehydrated mushrooms. I go to the middle eastern store to get spices. I go to the Indian store for rice, beans and lentils. Way cheaper. I spent 25.00 for a really good 25 lbs of long grain rice. I love getting the mung beans, lentils, and such for 1.00 to 1.50 for a 1 lb or higher weighted bag. I have jars full of dried beans, lentils, dried mushrooms and I have soy curls. Online shopping can save you tons of money. I buy frozen veggies because they don't go bad. I tend to buy when they are super cheap.

@Lill92 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for all of these amazing tips and strategies! Here in Norway, the time of year where we can find the largest savings is in the weeks leading up to christmas. The competition between stores become so fierce that the media has dubbed it "priskrig" which directly translates to price wars! What happens is that there are three big main companies/chains of stores that compete with each other over here. They know that that time of year is when Norwegians spend the most money in the grocery stores by a lot, and so the three of them try to out-cheap each other on foods traditionally eaten around this time. As soon as one store marks something down the others follow or try to go even lower, to the point where some foods get marked down with as much as 98%!

@Homegrown_Hillary 6 месяцев назад

That’s so cool! What kinds of food had the best deals before Christmas in Norway this year? (98% off?? That’s insane!!)

@Lill92 6 месяцев назад

@@Homegrown_Hillary Yes! The best deal I can remember the exact price of this year was pickled cucumbers that were marked down from 22,90 NOK (2,21 USD) to 3,90 NOK (0,38 USD). A few years ago they went all out on a kind of short grain rice we use for a traditional rice porrige and reduced the prices from around 25 NOK (2,41 USD) to 1 NOK (0,097 USD according to the converter I am using!) The best Christmas related deal we ever got was when the lady that owns the local store came over to me and my mom when we were shopping there, and asked if cows can eat bananas. I had to call my dad to check (he's a dairy farmer) and he said they do, so the shop lady gave us all the bananas she had left for free because they would go bad during the christmas break otherwise. The cows were very happy😂❤️

I love online shopping. I do what I think is a good frugal sensible shop. Then at checkout I see I was about to spend so much more than I imagined. Then I go back and remove items until I am at the budget I wanted. It's so educational. You can see why your frugal shop is more than you can explain and where you are spending on items or the amount you buy of an item that I did not need

The majority of our meals consist of a protein and veg with a small amount of fruit. I buy processed foods at a minimum except for adding to my pantry for emergency (family members need help sometimes) We are in the midwest, my husband works with a couple guys that also raise pork and beef. We order 1/2 beef and whole hog at a time. Beef is about 4.79/lb, pork is about 3.49/lb after processing. They are raised with a mostly grazing diet, well taken care of. I give away some of the hams and ground beef, I freeze dry leftovers and staples. We also have a garden that takes up about half of our yard, then pots where I can't dig in directly. Utilize vertical gardening, repurpose materials. Compost. Compost. Compost. Squirrel away food but do not forget to rotate!

@withheldwithheld8969 6 месяцев назад

I agree with almost all of your tips--you even had some that took me years to figure out on my own. Your channel is informative and practical! Our family has been living frugally for over 20 yrs. We do almost everything you suggested. However, a few years ago we were diagnosed with several food allergies (gluten, egg, lactose, and some nuts). While your tip for those with food allergies is certainly valid, the desire to eat foods you are familiar with is very real. While we do avoid almost all processed convenience food, realistically, most people are not going to stick with eating the very basics (even with different seasonings) for years on end. However, learning to make our own snacks that fit within the confines of our food allergies has been a much better compromise for our family. We don't feel like we are missing out, but we aren't spending quite as much at the grocery store. The reality is that we are limited by a single brand of some items that aren't easy to replicate and are somewhat at the mercy of our local grocery. (We are using Amazon, Costco, etc. as well, but they don't carry some of the items, or they are actually more expensive.) Moral of the story here: Sometimes there are legitimate reasons why keeping a grocery budget is extra difficult and not easily remedied.

Quick make your own take out food - Dragonfly brand Tom Yum Paste (mix in any clear soup for instant yummy thai soup). - Koon Chun brand Hoisin Sauce (you will never buy any other after using this) just put it on anything, it is superb. My personal new fave - Ahmed brand Rose Petal Jam (such a gourmet treat - perhaps not for everyone) - on toast, or shortbread, or just a spoon). Tip - if you are doing any far east asian cooking (Chinese etc) - add a few tablespoons of medium sherry (I read this in a Sunset mag cookbook and suddenly my food tasted like restaurant).

Even if 1/4 a beef is a little pricier it is worth it. The meat is way better. 🌞

We have an Aldi. It’s pretty good. Our expensive store only does loss leaders with coupons from their app, but you have to earn those coupons by buying all your groceries there. I quit trying at that store. There’s also Meijer. They do sales but never a loss leader. You can save 5¢ by shopping their sales. 😂

@Homegrown_Hillary 6 месяцев назад

Yes! Some of the gimmicks the expensive stores come up are laughably confusing and worthless.

When we lived in Ohio, we found that Meijer rotated their sales in a predictable cycle. We learned that x item ran on sale every 6 weeks or so. We knew to buy at that price for six weeks worth of that item. I kept track of what we spent at Aldi, Meijer, and Walmart over the years, and to our surprise, Meijer won out nearly every time. (I would however, stock up at Aldi for cheeses and a few other items that they were consistently less expensive on.) So, maybe consider looking for the pattern to their ads to see if you might be able to save more.

@@bethanyg153 I sorta miss the Meijer sale of when they used to run the "buy 10 get the 11th free". Participating items were $1.00 each and one could use MC's for the appropriate item bought and save even more.

I have to say, you are awesome. Enjoying your videos. So wish I would have been more frugal & thrifty at your age and not waited till my 40s to get serious about it. Better late than never. Lol. I use to do once a month shopping when my 4 kids were little then did a cooking day. It was great (tiring but do worth it). Now I shop the sales add. Love walking out with my 3 sales item.

@Homegrown_Hillary 5 месяцев назад

Ah! You’re too kind! (But I agree: love walking out of a store with just markdowns and loss leaders 😊)

When we lived in the Midwest, we would often buy a quarter or a half of a beef or a hog. But there are lots of butcher shops in those areas that offer that kind of thing. Because that’s where I’m from, I assumed every place was like that. When we moved to Florida 20 years ago, we found out that’s not the case. It actually is more expensive for us to Buy it that way then it is to buy quality meats at the higher priced grocery stores. Even contacting a farmer and buying it on the hoof and having it processed is way more expensive per pound here than it was when we lived in the Midwest. My dad raises cattle and it is more expensive just to have it processed than it is to buy it at the store because there are no butcher shops in the area.

I only buy on sale, and there's 2 grocery stores in my area that have a buy one get one free sale every week, I have learned the cycle on these so I don't pay regular price anymore. Another grocery store has clearance on different Salad Greens Salads, Potatoes ane Fruits, instead of paying $6.00 and up for salads ,potatoes and fruits. I pay $1.00 to $3.00 for bag salads, potatoes and fruit. I also buy reduced meats. It's all about learning the grocery stores cycle on sale items.

I had a "bad" day at work this week. Practically every day was bad. On Monday I "treated" myself to lunch. Also on Tuesday. Wednesday was particularly bad. Thursday wasn't much better so I treated myself on those days as well. However on Friday, my day went VERY well and I decided to treat myself yet again but as a "reward ". They were all fast food garbage meals on which I spent $92!! They weren't even that tasty. This fact made my "bad" week far worse! I think that getting away from work to treat myself is key. This realization hit me like a welcomed ton of bricks. Next week I will be packing a healthy lunch and treating myself to a walk during my lunch hour instead.

@Homegrown_Hillary 4 месяца назад

That was me!! Alll the time with the gas station snacks 😂 If the walk doesn’t feel like enough of a treat, my go-to was to bake a batch of treats on the weekend and pack one for each day’s commute home. ❤️

We actually go in halves or thirds for a cow. We split the cost with another family, and it makes it more affordable. This is in Northwest Arkansas, so in other places, it might not be the ideal savings.

@bethanyg153 6 месяцев назад

I have to brave the negative temperatures to get groceries today. I thought about doing curbside but after some research I found it was going to cost quite a bit extra.

@Homegrown_Hillary 6 месяцев назад

Good thinking! I wasn’t sure if stores were still doing markups by item for online orders. I haven’t noticed it in my area anymore.

@DebiGoldben 5 месяцев назад

Some areas do have higher price for pick up. Ours does not the prices for delivery also are not higher than in-store prices.

We don't have low price stores, no place here sells in bulk, no sales circles, no ads online for stores, no coupons, no apps to scan resets. There are sales now and then but no way of knowing when. What I do is use less meat and more pasta, rice and bread. I have an ok pantry but most of the stuff there I bought full price.I welcome any food saving ideas.

We eat "low carb", (I think) because we aren't fans of white rice, pasta heavy meals, potatoes. We also eat beans because they are so good for you and taste good. We could never eat keto because it's high fat and too restrictive. We also cook from scratch. "Keto" labeled products are expensive and often lack nutritional value.
