Went through dozens of sippy cup styles - best one for all 3 triplets is First years soft spout cups! They’re easy to clean never had one leak in 2 years
Dollar Tree sells sippy cups with the clear plastic thing that goes inside the lid... plastic thing in OR out they rarely leak... slung all over the cars dropped / thrown on the floor they are working wonderful for my grandson of 18 months. They have Sesame Street peeps on them. Dollar General also carries 1.00 cups same type as the dollar tree ones for 1.00 they just have words and or sayings on them and not characters. Having said that, if the clear thing is out and they are determined to shake it upside down to MAKE the liquid come out, well... it will but still slowly and they have to be determined to do it.
thank u for the tip about the tin/can tops, I didn't realize that pull ring ones dnt last as long, I'll need to re-organize my cupboards and put those ones at front. I live alone and make freezer meals and it's worth taking a day or so to do it. I make my son some things too from time to time when requested 😆. The prices in the UK have gone up a lot too, I usually go to 4 different shops for my things and I will bulk buy when there's a deal on or it's down in price. My milks probably the cheapest in lidl it's 59p a litre for soy milk so I buy a case of 8 and it's shelf milk so it lasts me around 2 month. I probably spend more on my 2 cats than I do myself tho, can't help myself 😂. Another great video, much ❤️ from 🏴 UK.x
hearing you reference your specific children and their preferences is so heartwarming. Reflects a mama who is paying attention to each ❤️ so everyone feels seen.
We never used sippy cups, just small plastic cups. Yes, there were spills. They learned quickly. We learned to only put a little in the cup at a time. Old fashioned but effective.
My eldest always drank from glass cups since she was a baby, she has never broken a glass as of yet, and has only spilled a hand full of times…. As for my youngest, it’s another story, spills all the time, she’s a fidgeter, so water bottles and cups with lids are best.
I have toddler triplets and I flat out refuse to give them anything without a lid 😂. It’s insaneLy difficult to manage that kind of mess. We’ve had contigo straw cups for nearly 2 years and they’re awesome. They were $9 each
For all my number friends (accounting lady here)… $1,724.91 / 4 weeks (minimum) ~ $431.23 (weekly) / 11 people = $39.20 per mouth per week *Not bad, girl!!
Yes, I’ve got a big garden going as well. We’re not eating out of it as of yet and I plan to preserve as much of it as possible. I’m honestly hoping this could be my last mega grocery shopping trip for a while. ❤️❤️❤️
We grew up not buying a lot of groceries because we grew our food. we had our veggies, eggs, chicken, beef, and pork. Also we cut our own wood to have heat. We're used to doing without. Great haul Jamerrill. You and Travis are good providers. Love your videos and can't wait to see you in your new kitchen. ❤️🌹❤️
Just a tip- those pork loin roasts can be cut into chops for anyone wanting to save per pound for those chops you got for the grill. I’m sure you’re aware and need the convenience of not having to do that, although it would make a good video for a Miesen knife. 😜
That is exactly what we do. We cut them into chops, pork "tenderloin" roasts, cubes for stew. We trim all the fat off as we go and then grind that into sausage, breakfast, Italian and chorizo.
Prices here in UK have doubled in grocery shopping it's ridiculous people are having to go to food banks which is degrading for them, government don't put wages up to meet these rises that's why a lot of companies are going on strike you can't blame them. Utility prices have gone through the roof 🙈
It‘s also bad in Germany, even though not as bad. I‘d say prices have gone up by 1/3. I am happy to have bought meat in bulk 1,5 months ago and having invested in a new freezer. 😔
I have that floor lamp. I love it. You can use all 3 or just one light at a time. And it’s great for the kids. It’s very heavy. And the arms swivel for easy use.
jammerill, i allways watch you doin that mama work! especially when i m sad that i couldnd "afford" children while i was on medication (high risk of disabilites) because i wanted "them all" also. i started early ♡ thats my luck! so i have 2 healthy children ♡ and now i was able to come off of that medication over a year ago. and now its safe to get pregnant again ♡♡♡ im 36 now and you ARE so inspiring to me ♡♡♡ you are such a wonderful powerful women thank you so much for sharing your live!! ♡
I grocery shop and meal prep for my Dad. He's a widower and can't handle the heat, so I do the shopping for him. I spent $306 at Walmart today for about 3 weeks worth for him. Gosh prices have gone up! But I'm gently encouraging him to try some new things. And to cut back on meat consumption. We will see how it goes! Lol
Groceries are up in Texas but what's really killing my budget is the Light Bill over 400.00 each month so far and next month we are going to hit 500.00 I'm afraid..just gotta pray thru it all.
UNPLUG EVERYTHING AND LEAVE IT THAT WAY UNLESS YOU ARE USING IT. EVERYTHING! IT WILL ABSOLUTELY HELP ALOT. I'II WARN YOU THOUGH, KIDS WON'T WANT TO DO IT SO YOU WILL HAVE TO BE READY TO TAKE WHAT THEY ARE USING FOR A WEEK OR TWO. THEY WILL FALL IN LINE REAL QUICK! BEST OF LUCK
We are going to use outside solar landscaping lights for evening. Use daylight when we have it. We use air on 78 most days with fans going throughout the house where we spend our time. Keep blinds closed on side the sun is coming in. We open windows in early morning if it isn't humid and turn fan on in windows to bring in cool air. We don't use the dryer much if any. Refrigerator kwh is good. After using microwave, computers, tv, it is unplugged. Hope this helps. Groceries....we buy meat on sale only. Trying to get farmers' market veggies to can if it is cheaper.
Great haul!! Try the Milo unsweetened tea. Its the best I've found so far. No preservatives, and the only ingredients are water and tea. Thanks, Jammerrill!
Parents choice is what I’ve loved for the last 7 years. Cheap, easy, plastic top, plastic cup and a insert that goes in the lid that’s easy to clean. Have never had problems leaking or breaking
Mrs Jamerrill I live in Mississippi and it's higher here for alot of the items you purchased. I don't remember seeing 5 1/2 dozen eggs for 18.00 or milk being 7.00. but I watched all your videos and I have done like you. I stock up on rice,sugar,beans,canned foods, and noodles
Does the us stores not have their own value brands of things? Like over here a can or green beans can be as little as 20p, jam 50p, pasta 30p much smaller sizes as out stores and like yours but I always find it shocking when I see US food prices 🤯🤯
That's still a really good deal with all the adults in your home and the fact that you rarely eat out. Plus, you always have Sharp Shopper to run and do fill in halls for things which is amazing.
A yummy treat is frozen grapes. Take grapes apart from the vine and rinse and pat so they aren't super wet. Toss grapes in dry jello mix and freeze til the grapes are fully frozen. I use 2 bowls to form a circle to coat my grapes. Yummy yummy treat.
I keep red grapes in my freezer all summer. Also strawberries and peach slices. Better than popsicles. I had severe morning sickness and they were so refreshing.
Lol!!! "Liam is not a blueberry kid, but I do have some blueberry kids!"... the scene from Willy Wonka when Violet turned into a blueberry just flashed through my brain!!
I try to plan meals around meat sales, and use a fruit stand for seasonal produce deals, but our grocery receipts are running 25% higher this month. The kids are home, and eating more, so that accounts for some extra. We are in the Midwest.
My first boyfriend was one of 11 children, and his mom always had a pot of homemade beans on the stove, and homemade flour tortillas. It cost pennies to make and filled lots of bellies. I think we are going to have to shift our thinking back simple inexpensive meals, with basic ingredients. There's nothing better than a homemade tortilla with butter or cheese.
Our fruit stands are higher than the grocery stores. Watermellon 4.98 at the store (or lower) Fruit stand 6.00 and up to 7.50. Same thing for the corn, beans, and other crops in season right now.
I utilize the grocery store ads to find the best deals on meat without having to leave my house. Then I plan my errands accordingly. I’m pressure canning meat when I find good sales, plus fresh produce when I can get a good deal from my local produce stand.
I run an in home daycare and our favorite cups are the Munchkin 360 cups. They make them short with handles and tall without. They also have trainer cups with lids for when they’re older. We LOVE them!
I should do this too! Break down the grocery bill down to daily and by meal. We do eat out at some meals during the month and that is a separate part of our budget. But seeing how much it is per meal per person might make me feel better
I'm still shopping deals, especially on meat!! This summer we are blessed with a better harvest of some of our favorite veggies and that will make a good dent for a few months we are also learning to ferment so we will have our own pickles with good bacteria lol I'm reusing meat fat(filter through a coffee filter or a couple paper towels) this works wonderful as an oil substitute, is actually healthier than seed oils, and you already paid for it! We are not eating out as much and that's helped balance the budget for the extra at the store! Be well
I find myself going grocery shopping less and less of course my stock pile is shrinking in my pantry because of it but I just can't stand to see the prices on everything go up up up it is sticker shock every time--ugh
I completely emphasize with you. I have finally decided to leave my stockpile alone, eat out of my little freezer and use some of my short term rice. My garden is doing well and none of it is in the ground. All of it is in pots. I cram everything into each pot mercilessly! I've never thinned my green beans ever. They produce like crazy. Good luck to you and don't give up. Keep prepping.
We have liked the $1.00 Walmart sippy cups. Parents choice hard spout. Cheap but durable and easy to get liquid out of even for the 1 yr old but doesn’t spill if you have the insert in correctly. Super easy to clean as well.
Best sippy cup ? Go to Walmart , buy the Good2Grow kid juice ! When the juice is done just wash it and refill with your own water or juice ! Doesn’t leak AT ALL ! And goes in the dishwasher ! And the best part ? Around $2 !
Nuk sippy cups are the best! The hard spout ones. They’re just solid colors with solid color lids but they are by far the best! Cheaper & no spills! I’ve used for 7 kids & use for my daycare kids also!
I bought scads of cups for my grandson! Finally found a winner! Tomee Tippee. The spout looks like a straw, it’s stiff silicone. Removable spill proof thing for washing. It’s by far my favorite of all we’ve tried.
This title says it all 😂 lovin' watching you flex 💪 those mega momma muscles ! I'm glad you have all those years of practicing frugality. Amazing 🤩 thank you for sharing. God 🙏 bless.
Little tip on those sippy cups you got, the nipple needs to be lined up perfectly. On the inside of the lid there’s a tiny hole and that needs to be lined up to the hole on the cup if that makes sense! My son uses them everyday and as long as the nipple is lined up we have no issues
I love some of the amazing deals you can find at Sharp Shopper! Thanks for showing all the prices in your area, it really puts things in perspective as far as prices increasing on certain things. Milk here in PA is $5.79 a gallon.
Great haul - but that monster container of sesame oil cannot be stored in your cupboard. It needs to be stored in the fridge. At least I believe you said you were waiting for your new cupboards. I can hear you a lot of you now. I never store my sesame oil in the fridge and I've always been fine. You haven't been fine, you've been lucky. Storing it in the fridge will avoid a horrible case of food poisoning. It's the same thing you have you have chili oil. (Just trying to help here).
Just went shopping ad cutting a watermelon on my counter ad thought of you. So I go to pull video up and Bam you are right here with a new one, love it and ty
We are trying to be mindful & more organized when meal planning & grocery shopping. No quick Starbucks drive thru stops, less dessert if any, buying coffee beans and no Kcups...
360 cup! My son never used a spouted skippy cup. He used the 360 one and went strait to an open cup early on without spilling. I think the 360 trains them a lot better for a regular cup later on.
Love your Costco hat!! I bought one there too and use it all the time! I shop Aldi, Walmart, Sam’s, & Costco. I feel you really have to to get the best deals. This inflation is just terrible. I price check, compare, buy store brands when I can, and the final total looks as though I just threw everything in the cart without checking prices or caring! Such a shame. 😓
Nalgene Grip N Gulp toddler cups are amazing!! They are pricey at around 12 bucks a pop but well worth it, they lasted for years and years and never leaked.
The First Years Take & Toss Spill Proof Sippy Cups. These were the best sippy cups I used. I didn't toss them till they chewed the sipping part. Also removing the rubber insert helps. I never used those in the cups.
We love the Nuby click/grip cups. If they are leaking from underneath the lid, unscrew the top and make sure the silicone part is flat against the lid and that it touches the outer edge of the rim. Sometimes the silicone part isn’t in just right and it leaks. Another tip is to wait for all the parts of the cup to dry before reassembling it and filling it up. Sometimes it can leak because there is liquid where liquid isn’t supposed to be and it doesn’t seal right causing leaks. Finally, they say bite proof, but keep a watch on the part where the liquid comes out on the top. The little straight silicone pieces on the inside can break and come off over time. Then, the liquid seems to come out too fast.
I just bought 50 pound bags of Hard white wheat berries and 50 lb bags winter red wheat berries at Sharp Shopper in Waynesboro, VA. Each were $50.00. They had more than a pallet each each. They also had 50pounds of rolled oats, but I don't remember er what the price was.
My sippy suggestion is weird. Those juice containers with the characters heads as a spout called good to grow. They sell them one or three each at Walmart fairly cheaply. After the child drinks the juice I wash them and use them. They’re perfect!!
Hi lovely lady , Just going through ur vids ,while waiting for a new one ,and here we are ,watching some older ones , Just love it , Hubby having to help me work prices lol as we come from UK, and I'm total loss when it comes to your supermarkets lol but I love it
The laundry pods are the same I just finished a plastic container of those just last week and I had another one that came from Sam's club that was the same amount I like the bag idea I will get that one next time I go to Costco
So today I was buying stuff for camping and it was $7 for plastic silverware and almost $6 for paper plates at aldi I held off buying them at other stores because i thought it would be cheaper there. Nope!
I used to depend highly on the large packs of walmart chicken breasts but the price has gone up so much! What used to be $10 is now $14-$15. That really caused a hit to my grocery budget. I'm exploring alot of recipes with minimal or no meat for at least one meal a week.
Chicken pot pies are awesome to make. I use 1 to 1 1/2 chickens breasts to make 2 deep dish pot pies. I cook my chicken breasts til they a thoroughly cooked then shred them using my mixer. By shredding them when you mix all the ingredients together you will get a bit of chicken in each bite. It will work in chicken and rice dishes and chicken and noodle dishes too. It is a great way to stretch chicken.
We do cheap meals like burrito bowls and meals where we can use ground beef or shredded chicken and we just use less meat in them now. We also add more beans and cheap veggies like potato to bulk up meals.
We were buying gallon sweet tea and by the gallon it was around 50 dollars a month give or take depending on the amount of people drinking it. I bought an ice tea maker from Amazon and we are saving so much money now ❤️
mrs jamerrill...the parents choice soft spout sippys are great..hard ones work well too..better then name brand... worked for all three of my grandsons but I realized that the hard ones were a little harder for them to suck the juice out until they were a little bit older..
As an Australian I can tell you we eat a lot of lamb! If you get it cheap it’s worth your time. Richer and more flavourful than beef and very tender. Get a cheap lamb shoulder and cut it up for use in the best stew you’ve ever had.
We haven’t bought salmon in so long, unless it’s pre frozen, then it’s a reasonable price even if it doesn’t taste as good. Fresh is $15/lb here and frozen is about $5.
Hi Jamerrill! My bestie used the kids Contigo cup with straw. No joke, you could flip this thing around a hundred times and if even a drop or two came out that was a lot. But if you used the straw it’s great.
I tried doing that, kroger lured me into the store with marked down on sale meat. They didn't have any left, so I spent 118.00 on junk food. I was so mad when I got home and looked at all the junk I somehow got involved with.
@@cathyeller5722 you are not a strong person. I absolutely do not buy junk food. I bake cakes and cookies and make my own bread. I only buy what I can’t make. Costco is not cheap. There fruits and vegetables are expensive,plus we are a small family. But still have to stay on budget. Especially if you are on a budget. I don’t think Jammeril knows what a budget is. All these non food Items are not needed.
@@evelinholmes6401 you do an excellent job! I’ve seen by this comment and some of your others, you refer to me not knowing what a budget is… That’s an odd thing to say to a woman who has scraped and used creativity add mega tons of hard work and sweat equity to build a business starting with a $20 investment (The $20 it took me to build my first website). Also, I am a woman who has saved and paid cash using no debt for many things using Dave Ramsey‘s principles. I also 100% support my family of 11 and pay good wages to the many people who work for my business. So to say I don’t know what a budget is is absolutely ridiculous. People can have different budgeted amounts, but I have also had many years of only having $250-$300 about the start to finish for my grocery budget and have experienced plenty.
I had only ment getting basics like beans, rice, pasta bulk items help with the cost problem. I was not talking about how she budgets. Everyone budgets different. You get more for your buck with dry goods and most people know this. Yes extra non food items do make a bigger bill, but even threw hard times something for yourself or family is okay.
The owala bottles are my favorites for the whole fam. They're kind of expensive to me but we haven't had a spill or leak yet. Flip lid for kiddo and the other type for me. They just made a small one but we have 19oz and it hasn't been too heavy even when filled.
Get the tommee tippee brand of sippy cups it doesn't leak and it doesn't have a hard pull when they are drinking from them...my grand children loved them...ordered from Amazon
oh my goodness, the title of your video ... we are feeling it here too in Indiana. As a family of 8 we are spending about $1700 month, that's even when we are shopping at discount stores near us... :(
I have used the diaper rash spray. I loved it. It was fast and convenient, mess free. It's great for the diaper bag. It is obviously thinner because it's a spray so if you thick coating creams you may not like it.
Hi Jamerrill. you are so beautiful. l love your honesty and sense of humour, the way you said l check meat it's my hobby. have great day shopping from down under....
When I started shopping at Costco is 2017, the canned chicken was $9.99, hellmans Mayo was $3.99, butterball ground turkey was $17.99 (now $23.99, though I know some of that is the bird flu too). It’s absolutely insane. What used to be a $350 buggy of food for the month is now $700+ and it don’t even always last the month. It’s killing us! We’re only a family of 5 but I have 3 busy, growing, boys who eat more than I thought possible 😂 the snack food prices (I know they’re not a necessity) have gone up so much and it’s terrible! I used to be able to go spend $150 and have enough snacks for a whole summer of beach trips and now it’s closer to $300 and that’s being frugal.
It's the same in Australia ATM. And it's the basics food that has skyrocketed- the luxury end stuff like prawns, fancy icecream, pre-made high protein low carb meal bowls, fancy yoghurt, gourmet sausages.... The price of everything higher end has hardly moved but the staples and essentials us low-mid income poor peasants rely on have doubled and some tripled since 2020. If inflation is supposedly across the board we are absolutely subsidising the high end products- no surprises there!!
Jamerille - if you figure out the price per pound for that canned chicken, it will blow your mind! It would be cheaper for you to jar up your own ... I know it will take 75 minutes for pints, 90 minutes for quarts - but honey you will know what's in it and it is sooooo much cheaper! and in my opinion, it tastes better because the meat is juicier (I prefer the raw pack method).
Same in the UK, I notice a big difference in the cost of my food shop and add to that our home gas and electric bills have just gone up by more than 50% it's hard times all around 😞
I’m in NW Indiana. I have found that Target and Stracks are cheaper than Aldi lately. Our Aldi prices are through the roof! Walmart is too far from me to make spending the gas worth my while.
Try non meat recipes. Try not buying juice boxes or lunchables stuff like that. Some Mexican food recipes like bean burritos, tacos, rice, tostadas, enchiladas, chicken green chili... ingredients are inexpensive and servings go a long way. Buy store brand always and try comparing price per ounce or pound because sometimes larger quantities (packages) are cheaper. Try old school meals like spaghetti, fried chicken, meatloaf, biscuits, pancakes stuff like that homemade with leftovers for another meal .. all this may help. I shop like this and cook like this and always look for the deals. I shop the sales and meal plan by that. Hope it helps you out and hope these prices stop climbing.
