[@andir7854]

Enjoyed the pics of the food at the end. Happy Anniversary. I'll come over for Peanut chicken and quiche.

[@FrugalEnthusiast]

I really enjoy this content. I hope you can make more of these videos more often.

[@paigestraka4301]

I love taking left over burgers for lunch! I've watched your videos from the very beginning and it's crazy to see how different they are! (Mostly in camera quality) LOL! You are always so inspiring!

[@BudgetGirl]

Thanks so much!

[@faithhubbard2846]

It is crazy how the 2 years have flown by! Happy anniversary to you❤❤

[@Nurse3811]

I did a quick Aldi run to get protein foods and some veggies today after being out of town 5 days to celebrate our 40th Anniversary! Anyway, I shopped the sale ad ( never paid attention to it before) and couldn’t believe how much less it was by planning the meals around the sale items , Got angus patties , 5 lbs chicken thighs , eggs, a bunch of dairy proteins , salad fixings for the week, various fresh veggies and of course a Winking Owl all for $33! It taught me to do pay attention to the sales. Congratulations on your anniversary and great job on the menu suggestions !

[@Lorish1987]

Happy anniversary! I am always inspired by your meal plans. I hate cooking so mine will never be as well put together as yours. My husband was the cook for us and after his diagnosis with brain cancer at the end of January I had to take that over and we definitely never ate as well again. He died two nights ago so at this point I'm lucky if I eat anything at all :'( Trying to keep going for my four year old daughter, but oh my goodness is it hard to care about food or money or anything else right now.

[@BudgetGirl]

Oh Lori that breaks my heart. You're in my prayers.

[@rochellethundercloud346]

So sorry about your loss.remember,he is not suffering,or in pain anymore.

[@heathermayfield4247]

So very sorry Lori, you are in my thoughts.

[@LeonardFamilyFun]

Lifting you in prayer. Please stay strong.

[@annettetaylor8992]

I’m 38 weeks pregnant and we are having baby girl next Friday. The rest of this week is Lemon chicken(look it up on Pinterest) we are having it twice because that’s how much I’m obsessed lol. Breakfast, chicken Alfredo with asparagus. Next week not sure I just know we are going out for dinner the night before for one last pre surgery meal.

[@hootiewhooo1434]

Good luck!!

[@brendaatkinson1965]

[@rochellethundercloud346]

[@anniecharlotte4469]

Happy Anniversary Sarah and Jacob! My fav this week was salmon. BTW I mentioned you in a video I am uploading tonight. I haves learned so much from you. Thanks!

[@411y5un]

Great video!! I’ve been on a smoothie and wrap kick for a while, great cheap way to get a lot of vegetables. And with enough cheese and mustard they are really good! My next thing is making my own frozen burritos for nights that I don’t want to cook 👨‍🍳

[@freckleface1981]

Happy Anniversary!! That Thai chicken made me hungry!! LOL, but the best thing I've eaten this week was a burger that I put bacon, swiss, and the last of my salad mix on a bun, delicious!!! Everything looked great!!

[@rochellethundercloud346]

Folgers coffee was on sale at Walgreens and dollar General,$6 per can,at both places.so,hubby got me 4 cans. Coffee for days

[@BudgetGirl]

woot!

[@karynb7781]

Happy Anniversary! I'd like to come on over for tomato soup and grilled cheese. Love that crisp toasted bread and the soup! You're all invited over for veggie sides lunch from our BBQ place~ Italian green beans with brisket, baked beans, corn cake, mac n cheese! It was yummy. I could eat ALL the sides! ; ) Have a Happy Week.

[@hootiewhooo1434]

Thought you might appreciate that I remembered your taco soup recipe and decided to add all of the ingredients to grocery order from Walmart which will be picked up this Friday. I've never felt more organized and ahead of the game - and all under budget!!!

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

Happy Anniversary. Tonight, we are having a Taco Salad. Last night we had sausage bake. We are also having Maple Chicken, steak, Asian Salad, etc. For dessert, we made homemade cookies and cream ice-cream and apple cake. I love these videos. Please keep them coming.

[@alycer.6471]

I absolutely LOVE the way you do these vlogs. Menu purchase but my absolute favorite is the pics at the end 📸 Just love it!!!!

[@freedominabudget]

Happy Anniversary friend!!

[@marias8007]

I'm in New Zealand and I'm always amazed at how cheap food is in the US

[@maleesaparadis9889]

Happy Anniversary. Shrimp fried rice using riced cauliflower instead of plain rice and it was the best I have had. Didn't miss the rice. Used things I have never used before in it following the recipe.

[@missmarylee3]

I’m catching up on your videos at 1am and now I’m hungry. Hahaha

[@kikihammond5326]

Still earlyish in the week but so far two favs, Pot Roast with carrots and mushrooms (plus onion and celery for flavor) and instant garlic mashed potatoes on the side (cuz, what I had). Pot roast ended up super tender and flavorful. It will be recreated into pot pie later tomorrow night. Last night special dinner in memory of a loved one whose funeral we attended was baked penne, which is super easy and delicious.

[@brendafranco1046]

Happy Anniversary 💑🍾🍸⚘.All your good looked so good you made me hungry lol.Brenda from Chicago

[@rachelcartwright9873]

Happy anniversary!! Love your food hauls and the meal prep- inspires me to stay on track. That anniversary meal looked amazing!! My favorite meal this week was Greek chicken with taboule on the side😊

[@stephanielitz5102]

Your anniversary dinner looked sooooo good! Love these videos!

[@tiffanylikestodance4452]

Happy anniversary Budget Couple! 😜 I don’t eat meat so I’ll come over for the grilled cheese please 👍

[@marigarza9201]

Looks yummy 😋

[@kelliezimmerman9621]

It all looks good! Happy Anniversary!

[@bf309]

Yeah I missed these 👍

[@raeofsunshine._._]

I love Aldi!!

[@eohnenachname]

Love your shopping hauls and meal plans, BG! When I started watching your channel, I binge-watched every meal-related video and it helped me a lot, honestly. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming ;) Hi to Jacob and happy anniversary!

[@caitmcg4382]

OooOOOoooo, these looked great! And love the new Debt Free chart on the fridge, can't wait to hear more about it. I remember you mentioned awhile ago that you plan to only keep your car up to a certain point instead of basically running it into the ground; I think the rationale was you'd get better resale value and not have to deal with the most costly repairs, correct? I'd love a video on how to calculate when you'd replace a car with this method, mines only six years old and should go another six easy but maybe that's not the best option! Would be very interested in your thoughts.

[@alissaraboin4956]

Nifty debt free chart on your fridge!

[@Megan_Truly]

Happy anniversary! Your meal looked great. Best thing we've eaten was tater tot casserole, I love it's leftovers ... since I eat my leftovers but usually hate leftovers! It's nice to know a few things that taste good reheated.

[@leslieinglis6949]

Happy Anniversary to you both

[@kelseycoca]

Happy Anniversary! Also, I know you said we're *not* invited to the anniversary dinner but it sounds yummy! I'd offer to pour the champagne, as long as I get a bite :P lol

[@michellereed8696]

Happy Anniversary ❤️

[@motherofone6533]

Food looks great!

[@keepingitsimplebertanamari5676]

Happy anniversary 🎉 best thing I made this week was bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breast

[@timothycurnock9162]

I started counting calories with an app on my phone, now I save money because I eat less and healthier because I know exactly what I'm doing. Saving $10 and down 20kg. Win Win

[@TracyAMead]

Happy belated Anniversary! Your meals looked so yummy! Another great video as usual ~ you never disappoint!

[@patriciaseier2800]

I want some book club quiche

[@lmiller9924]

Budget girl: How did you stay motivated to make a meal plan and cook for one, when you lived alone? Especially when you lived in Mina, away from family and friends. I live alone now, and find it increasingly challenging to make a meal plan and cook for just myself. Often times I want to do fast food or go out (even though I know it isn't healthy) not only for convenience, but just for the sheer social aspect of being around other people, mostly. Do you have any tips or suggestions?

[@BudgetGirl]

bulk prep for only how much you can eat across a week. Instead of making a meal for one, I'd make 3-4 servings and eat the leftovers for lunch at work, or prep a meal especially for lunch on sunday and then just one or two other meals throughout the week, which I'd eat on at least twice. I would make sure to freeze any leftovers that might not get eaten and then have a freezer week where I'd have tons of choices from previous weeks and it would help me avoid food waste. Good luck!

[@lmiller9924]

@@BudgetGirl Thank you I appreciate the input. I will try that method :) Thank you for your very inspiring videos, about money-food-frugal fun and all the rest.

[@user-vp5qp5de1n]

Great video!!!

[@Afikoman62]

Hey did you go on the cruise yet? Hope you had an awesome time if you did. Happy anniversary!

[@frugaled5187]

We made homemade pizza tonight: ham and pineapple 😊

[@Melohhdee]

Are you planning on doing that video where you help answer financial questions? I need to have a decision by late July early August that I’ve asked help from other people with advice but I just don’t know if it’s the right choice. LMK if you plan to do it soon, I’d like to hear your advice/opinion. Thanks! I was just looking at your old budget plan videos from 5 years ago before I went to bed last night since you haven’t done one in awhile. 🤓

[@BudgetGirl]

I guess email me at [e-mail] I don't do a lot of q and a's anymore and theres no way to know if I'd pick your question anyway. I'll see if i can help.

[@Melohhdee]

Budget Girl thanks so much! I’ll send you and email this weekend. I’ll have to organize the email before I send it over.

[@tamianicoledoingme3007]

Hello👋 I'm just wondering what state you live in? cuz you got a lot of cheap food I'm in LA California

[@BudgetGirl]

texas!

[@michellemulholland596]

Weird question- I have that same menu board, bought it used off Facebook marketplace and we can’t write with chalk on it which is what it’s for...? I considered chalk markers but they’re expensive didn’t want to buy them if it’s not necessary.

[@BudgetGirl]

i use a chalk marker. it works great. I haven't tried normal chalk on it.

[@imaginecreate]

👍🏻😊❤️👍🏻😊❤️👍🏻😊❤️

[@elizabethbreeden4702]

Hubby made homemade pizza

[@titalinda8515]

80% hamburger means the meat has 20% fat? That is entirely too much.

[@chickenfromthecoop]

No that's what professional chefs recommend for Burgers.

[@M_SC]

At this point can’t you afford to buy buy torture-free eggs?

[@BudgetGirl]

At this point why shame other people for their personal grocery choices?

[@katiewompus]

Esther B. Cage free eggs are a marketing scam anyway.
