If you put a little milk in the cream cheese after it is frozen and defrosted then run a mixer through it and it is a nice texture again.

@HexenFrau 4 года назад

Thank you for this tip!! I froze some cream cheese and it looked so bad when I thawed it out.. Luckily I put i back in my fridge and didn't throw it out, now I know how to use it!

@ang_131 6 лет назад

Love that you dice things up and 'hide' them in sauces. For years, my mom used to puree her tomato sauce to hide all the veggies so I didn't know I was eating them. Also, every meat was chicken regardless of what it was so I couldn't say I didn't like it without trying it. lol.

@williammcafee5355 5 лет назад

Angelique Davis when our kids were small everything was chicken LoL

@eileenlester3313 5 лет назад

I have to hide things because my husband is like a child. He only likes corn and peas. If I make carrots I have to give them to him raw or doctor them up with either some brown sugar or pure maple syrup. I think I'll start hiding things like spinach, etc. when I make sauce or other meals. Thanks for reminding me to do this. 😀

@nonanona4926 6 лет назад

I know that I'm a little late on this video, lo. But speaking of Walmart no longer price matching, they now have a system that is so great!! You download their app, then after shopping at Walmart, scan or type in some numbers off of your receipt. If they find what you bought cheaper, they will now put it on an e gift card! In the last 3 years we have had over 800 YES 800 dollars on our e gift card. We leave the money on it until Christmas and use it to buy ALOT of our Christmas items!! Fantastic way to get the " price match"! Try it, it really is great!! And No, lol I do not work at Walmart!!! Lol

@@johnnyswag2802 I didn't think so, so I looked it up, and while it doesnt talk about freezing from fresh, this taste of home article says "Technically, hard-cooked eggs can be frozen, but they won't taste great. The whites become tough and rubbery, and they release excess water when they're thawed. The cooked yolks freezeexceptionally well, though, so we recommend eating the boiledwhites fresh and freezing the yolks by themselves in an air-tight bag." Good luck!

If you freeze your strawberries for smoothies leave the tops on. It is very nutritious and blends into your smoothie to add extra vitamins. It does not change the taste of your smoothie.

I'm Canadian and we go over to the states just to buy $200 worth of boneless skinless chicken! (Fill up the freezer) Our sale price is around $4.99 lbs 😲😲😲so at $1.99 plus exchange its such a great deal!!

@Tzara86 6 лет назад

Kathy D'Accriscio everything is more expensive in Canada, and they take 52% or more of our income in taxes. It's ludacris. Unfortunately, the time and gas you spend travelling to the states with exchange, you'd likely break even. I find that with everything I try to buy online. A lot of things I refuse to buy because there isn't a cheaper Canadian option. One example are those subscription boxes. They are mostly American. So a $35 box for Americans, add $15 shipping and exchange rate, works out to be $80. Like no.

This is a great haul. I've been buying in bulk lately and it's saved me money, although I try to eat more plant-based. I don't stock up too much on perishable foods, though. I worry about losing those in a power outage... even going without power for a day or two could really affect everything. I do stock up on the shelf stable stuff at good prices. (Family of 6 here.)

we have laying hens when we want pancakes or just an omelette our kiddos we have three and one on the way can go gather eggs and we can have fresh when we want!. we eat/use a lot of eggs. we also deer hunt every year and process our own meat and that gives us quite a bit of meat every year this year we also raised a pig and just took it to butcher we will give meat away to our families and have tons leftover. also in the spring we grow some veggies our tomatoes come back every year and we don't touch them they just grow like crazy all around our house. cucumbers, peppers - jalapeño and bell peppers, watermelon, okra and few herbs like basil are things we like and eat all the time and they are easy for me to grow I do not have a green thumb lol. you can also pickle anything okra, cucumbers and jar things that will help them last longer!. just some frugal tips! love your channel!

I mean, to do what you do, I'd have to get another freezer! :D I have one freezer for bread, one for meat, the other freezer has leftovers, fruit, and all that, plus sometimes bread. I find myself cleaning out the freezers all the time, and thinking, "why did I even think of keeping this?". lol. And, I make the mistake a lot of not labeling, yikes, that's horrible, you are right, I do forget what it is. Any how, I love your refrigerator, the one in your kitchen, what kind is it, what brand, and do you like the lay out, the pro's and con's of it, would be helpful. I'm on the look out for a bigger refrigerator, I'm thinking like yours, that will last, as they are spendy. Thanks!

If you rinse your berries in water with a little vinegar in them and dry them off, they keep fresh much longer in your fridge. I love watching your grocery haul and comparing prices. I shop in Asda which is owned by Walmart. Sorry, I live in Scotland UK. just an example for chicken fillets I pay a minimum of $2.54 per lb. Minced beef is about the same price, so I spend wayyyy more than you do on almost everything, good old UK lol

@cheryl1205 6 лет назад

I see someone else already said part of what I was going to say. Walmart replaced price matching with a system called "Savings Catcher". One point they made was it reduced time standing in line waiting for people to go through sales papers. You can do it on a desktop on the walmart website, or the phone app, much quicker. And, you don't have to type in the numbers. You can just scan the QR code, from the walmart app. It takes a few days to process then they will send an email to whatever email address you used to sign up for the app, letting you know if you have any money coming back to you! It does the stores within 25 miles of you. I just checked my app and it's showing I've gotten refunds of over 590. some odd dollars since I started doing it. We're just two people so families may save more. You should try it.

@kathyburd3746 7 лет назад

Amy Thetford Years ago I had the same issue. Have you consider canning food? Or ferment some of it like pickles? We can vegetables, loads of tomato purée, salsa, fruits and even cooked soup. If something goes wrong in your city like an electricity cut, you have no worries about your food being in the freezer. There are people who even can meat. I don't do it but I know that the alternative exists.

@messymusings1812 4 года назад

To keep your cheese bricks from going crumbly when freezing them - leave them in the shrink wrap they come in. When pulling from the freezer - do not put in the fridge right away. Instead place the unopened brick on a plate (so you do not get condensation melt on your counter) and leave it alone - leave it there for 2-3 days. Cheese is okay to have at room temp for a short few days. *Warning* - when you do open it, there will be some cheese oil on the outside. Place in your fridge and chill like you normally would cheese. You can grate it, slice it, cut it - however you want to use cheese. So it is possible to freeze cheese and not have it go crumbly.

So when you break off the banana not covering the ends of them is what makes them ripe and faster but since they eat a lot and so fast. So when you break off the banana not covering the ends of them is what makes them ripe and faster but since they eat a lot and so fast. Also with asparagus if you put a cup of water in your fridge or sometimes even a pitcher if you have enough and I do this with celery as well. and you did say that you put a paper towel I believe it was you on another video but if you open up your lettuce or spinach and you put a paper towel and you flip it upside down that is much better and I'm totally using your trick with putting your containers upside down to make it more airtight so it lasts longer so thank you for that trick.

Just wanted to share with you that these days most cow milk is so pasteurized that it doesn't even need Refrigeration, grocery stores only put it in the refrigerator because it would freak people out to see it on a warm Shelf.

If you have milk creeping up on that date that you know you won't use ... Make ricotta cheese (milk and lemon juice) and then you add that into yummy things

You have no idea how often I throw away almost full containers of sour cream because I only use it in soups and baking type stuff. I'm definitely going to start freezing it!

How long have you stored and opened gallon of milk in the freezer??? You've opened up a whole new world up to me!

@JenniferSheehanElsaesser 6 лет назад

Great job!!! Would love to know what you cook with all of these groceries🤗

Can you do an updated one of these with the current food prices?

This is a great video very informative. Curious about freezing stuff how do you know the new expiration date. Say it's going to expire today you stick it in the freezer how long do you keep it for after you thaw it?

Thanks for the vlog! I don't know about only $100 per person per month, though. It's just my daughter and I, and there is no way we would do well on $200 for all meals and snacks. I know it works out well for big families because everyone eats together and the biggest price Staples are included in a bigger allotment with each additional person just adding a little more. Thanks for the tips!

Hi Cherie!! You're so welcome. I always recommend a $300 minimum for households, so for you and your daughter, you'd be able to go up to $300!
