$150 LARGE FAMILY GROCERY HAUL | SHOP WITH ME ON A BUDGET

[@eleveneleven11114]

Yes! I got a clearance pot roast last week & thought, "Christine would be proud." 😁

[@justpatty7328]

[@TheNinnyfee]

Me, too. 3 heads of broccoli at German ALDI's for 89 Cents (EUR) per piece yesterday. For the airfryer. 😊♥️🥳

[@pinkpoodle23]

I’d love a “reusing leftovers” video. One of your tips on the last vid was to eat leftovers. My family has a hard time eating things more than once and I have a hard time reinventing last night’s dinner 😊

[@alondrasanchez8133]

Simple. Tell them what my mom use to say “this isn’t a restaurant” if they’re hungry they can eat it twice. If not then they can find something to eat themselves 😂

[@taylorlam1364]

There’s a Netflix show called “best leftovers ever” that is a fun watch and also gave me quite a few ideas for how to use leftovers. I also find adding leftovers to soup, chili, and quesadillas are great ways to change things up!

[@justpatty7328]

Leftovers many times taste even better. Taco meat for tacos, next day chili starter or taco salad or quesadillas... just have fun in the kitchen- be like Christine. Heehee I love her!

[@leradoms]

When I get sick of leftovers, I freeze them in little containers for an easy lunch in the future.

[@yagottabkiddin]

Try planning ahead when you know there will probably be leftovers. Set aside some of the ground beef to use the next night in something different instead of putting it all in spaghetti sauce. If you hold some of the protein out instead of putting it all in a sauce or a casserole, it can be used in a totally different way the next night.

[@DR-rw7es]

Christine you are the antithesis of lazy, but I appreciate the self deprecating humor 🤣 Love you girl. My life and family have been blessed by your wisdom. Thanks for being you 💛💛💛

[@julieclevenger7122]

I've been doing fetch rewards from your suggestion last year.Went on vacation and stopped at a McDonald's for a biscuit for breakfast. There was a busload of college kids in front of us and each one just throughout their receipt as they got their food into a little tiny trash can. When they were through I scooped every one of them out and there was over 40 of them! Yay me! Each one was five points!

[@crystalpratt6211]

I paused the video cuz the maintenance guy showed up. He's doing his thing and I hit play. Christine: Look how big it is! It's as big as my head! I promptly got a scandalized look from the maintenance guy

I watch you because you’re so honest and real. Love you.

[@vickyback14]

So we are a family that does the "once a month shopping" thing. I'll load up on fresh stuff and frozen/canned stuff. Basically, fresh stuff gets eaten first. If anything is starting to go, then it gets frozen or used in soups or whatever. Then when we are all out of the fresh stuff, we use whatever is hanging out in the freezer until grocery day again! Depending on the time of year, fresh lasts longer so we will apples and stuff all month long. In the winter, its a lot more of living out of the freezer/pantry (at least that's how it goes up here in northern Alberta).

[@erinmstratton4551]

Sooo happy to see a friendly face! Needed this. Family issues and here you are to cheer me up!

[@danib1092]

We live an hour and a half away from the nearest store so we have to do once a month, we do get fruit and vegetables an extra time during the month from either the local market or a tiny corner store! So yes they don't last very long. Love your stuff

[@Deathla]

For monthly shopping, I have a couple of tricks: 1. If it will be cooked or blended, buy it frozen or canned. 2. Buy items that keep longer- potatoes, apples, winter squash, onions, nuts 3. For salads, buy bags to use that day. Otherwise get whole lettuces and cabbages bc they keep longer.

[@rebeccahherdener2068]

I only shop once a month at 1 store(otherwise youre paying for the multiple trips via gas. Which can get SUPER price if your not careful!😬). To preserve the fresh veggies and whatnot for the whole month, I pre-prep them for the month when i get home, pre-cook my meals, and then freeze them! We even have some single meal tupperware i got off amazon in bulk that is reusable and has helped us save LOADS of money because we hardly have any food waste anymore!😊We only have things like salad and whatnot during the first 2 weeks, and the 2nd 2 weeks of the month we use frozen veggies and whatnot. 😊 Everything stays fresh, nutrients are all there, and it saves LOADS of time! Best thing EVER to do is to pre-do things before you need them done so theyre there waiting when ya need em!😊💚💜 Love your shopping goodies! Lol. Youre SO RELATABLE! Keep these vids comin maam!💚💜

Roast up broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers, onions and tomatoes. Or air fry them. Cool completely then mix them all together and out on top of a bed of baby spinach. Top with feta cheese and dressing of choice. I call it roasted veggie salad. Current summer fav in our house

[@33snowgal]

I do one grocery trip every two weeks- so that’s buying a lot of veg/fruit. Apples, oranges, carrots easily last that long in the fridge, and Towards the end of the two weeks we have frozen and canned

[@lauriejohnson3713]

Granted, I don’t have a large family to feed. But the way I buy fresh produce once a month is by buying an array of things that spoil at different rates; eating those that spoil faster first. Things like potatoes, cabbage, or apples will last for weeks in the fridge. But I do fall back on frozen veggies when I wanna stretch time between shopping… but let’s be honest, it’s usually because I don’t feel like grocery shopping.

We shop once a month with a walmart pickup (because its 80 miles one way to the nearest one) and supplement with fruits and vegetables once between the monthly hauls, so like every 2 weeks or so we are either getting produce/milk or big load of groceries. We have a smaller (expensive) grocery store 25 miles away that we buy the random produce/milk at in between the monthly trips.

[@psymompa]

Love all the clearance produce. Can cut up and freeze the extras. I shop 1-2x a week because I don't have the storage for a 2 weeks worth of produce and we are Vegetarians so we eat a lot of produce. Costco has the same Naan for a great deal. Gas in my Texas town: $2.59. Thanks for sharing.
