I'm trying to cook budget meals this week by using up what's already in my fridge and pantry. It's always a money-saver to delay a trip to the grocery store and clean out the kitchen!

Real-life skills...use what you have. I could probably feed myself and my hubs for about a month on the food that we have in the house. Thanks for the inspiration. Gotta take inventory and get busy planning menus. What a great way to start a new year. I will need to track meals for WW Purple tracking as well.

@sheilahendley5874 3 года назад

Your creativity blows me away! I think I’ll start sending you a list of stuff I have to get rid of and you can tell me what to do with it! Lol. Thanks, Mindy. Another great video.

Love these videos! We do pantry/fridge/freezer clear outs several times a year. It lets us rotate items from our "emergency pantry" into our main pantry to ensure everything is used before it expires. We can usually skip a few weeks of shopping this way....there are only 3 of us which helps!

Love this video! Using up some leftover bits is always a good idea. I find it becomes overwhelming so quick with all the different "leftovers". I am a free cook (aka I hate recipes) but my husband likes trying new things and recipes. We are vegan due to some health issues, so we can't copy the delicious things you made, but looking will not hurt me :D I admire your creativity combined with the pratical thinking of getting rid of things before they go bad! You are an inspiration, thanks a lot

If you have a little bit of rice cereal leftover Like Rice Krispies or rice Chex it works great mixed with flour as a coating for chicken or fish or sweet potato fries. My husband gets kind of weird with cereal and sometimes he just can't finish the box of something like that and it keeps things very crispy when you use it as a breading. I powder it up in the food processor

Frozen vegetables are great value for your money. They're usually flash frozen when absolutely fresh, so it's the same rich vitamins and stuff that fresh veggies have. So yeah, you could still make it one or two days more and not sacrifice health.

Salad dressings make great marinades for chicken. Cutting marinated chicken breasts into strips will still be frugal - I don't care for shredded meat myself we did not have it growing up although we were poor Mom did a great job feeding us with what $ she had. Mashed Potatos are so frugal and can be stretched love them. I also have never used Cream Cheese in soups but since both you & Frugal Fit Mom use it I will have to try it as well Barley is something I have never used but loved Scotch Broth Soup as a kid

Happy Thanksgiving!!! My oven broke right before Thanksgiving last year!! I don't usually host Thanksgiving, my sister in law does. But she lives less than 5 minutes away so I usually will go over the night before to help prep and deliver the turkey. My hubby and his buddy raise turkeys so we keep it until the night before.) Then I come home with a lot of stuff to store in my fridge. Then on T-Day I will help bake some stuff in my oven but couldn't last year! Now this year there's no one really coming so no big ta-do this time! Hope it's an easy fix!! Enjoy your mini trip!! 💜💚

@EmeryShae 2 года назад

With the current state of supply chain issues, do you have plans to start filling your pantry with some extra food? I have started buying a few extra things each week to hopefully fill my pantry. I will use it in rotation so nothing expires. I’m also buying items that work for emergency meals, like you have shared a few times now.
