How is Miss Haley doing? I miss seeing her sweet face and watching you and her being silly together. Prayers for your momma heart.

[@chaoticcupcake7420]

I have been fortunate enough to learn how to shop at a very young age. It's my superpower, lol. I have been ad shopping and stocking up for about 25 years. My favorite day of the week is Tuesday, when I can see the next weekly ad for my grocery stores. The best thing people can do is educate themselves on how to save money on groveries for their families. It really is a superpower.

[@terrytt2932]

I'm 76, was married very, very young and then a single mom, very, very young. I've never NOT shopped ads, coupons, too. I've never ever NOT shopped markdowns and clearance!

[@greenpurl8482]

A friend recently asked her stepsons to unpack the groceries - imagine her surprise to find ice cream in the pantry! These boys are old enough to know better...

[@EmmaHope88]

My mom has accidently put ice cream in the pantry before.

[@NotAFanOfHandles]

So... weaponized incompetence or ADHD? Could be either. I once nearly forgot to bring in a pack of 5 dozen eggs from Costco... after I had just bought it.😅

[@davidneal6920]

Wait a minute….you mean you don’t put ice cream in the pantry?….must have missed that memo

[@suzyrichins7958]

Crying over here in Australia with my duopoly grocery store options. I paid $9 for a single box of family pack- sized Cheerios the other day.

[@dinobrownie]

Love how you just called the dog over after spilling cereal on the floor 😂

[@clareu9539]

I remember doing this with our cat when my little cousin squashed crisps (chips) on our sofa. She hoovered up the tiny bits very quickly :D Mum vacuumed daily but didn't want to pull the vacuum out right that moment.

[@Quirkyloverosee]

I had a basement grocery store like this as a child bc my mom was an extreme couponer. We had shelves similar to that. This is making me smile and bringing me back to childhood and my mom telling me to go shopping in the basement. So cool.

[@nancyfarkas3592]

It’s nice but you still have to eat thru it. Food doesn’t last forever.

[@StephanieGrealis]

I always wanted to be an extreme couponer!!!

[@alenemarie]

I shared your video/channel with my caregiver who has 3 kids at home & a husband who works out of town during the week because we were just talking about stockpiling to save. Hang in there. I’m 57 and have been on hospice for about a year. I had H1N1 in 2009, & my craptacular lungs gave out. I’ve had a bunch of surgeries to my chest wall and also have COPD. I never smoked (everyone smoked in the 70s/80s, though). I shattered a disc in my lower back, spent almost a year learning to walk again. Had an artificial disc placed in my neck in 2013. I’m on 4 liters of oxygen 24/7. There’s more, but I’m too tired to type, lol! 😂 My point is, no, it’s not about getting old. In my crap times, I remind myself that YES, it could be WORSE. I’m just thankful to be here for the one daughter I am so lucky to have in my life. You will be fine, and because you take care of yourself, you’ll heal in no time. ♥️💃🏻♥️

[@chrisknisley93]

Yes! I am a single person, but I bought all 5 Pace picanti jars too! It is enough to last me a year or more, and the expiration date went out that far.

[@zanneizzo8113]

Growing old is a privilege that many don't have.

[@andreanielsen6513]

Great video!!! Anyone else instant say outloud "field trip, field trip" then insert Kimberly Wisk!!! 😂😂

[@koffeekat8106]

Thank you so much for touching on "don't do a big project like this if you're not in the right mental headspace" topic!!! I struggle with imposter syndrome, anxiety, and ADHD. So i constantly feel like i'm lagging behind everyone else in life and it drives me bloody bonkers! on the bad days, my job is to "survive" on the good days - we tackle life head on.

[@aardyn8564]

There are days were my accomplishment is I got dressed. Some days its "hey I ate real food and not just junk food" you take what you can get when life is a little hard sometimes. Don't let it get you down you are not the only one that has trouble sometimes, it can help to know that.

[@lynhanna917]

I suffer with seasonal depression that does not lessen with medication. I wasn't sleeping and my darling doctor gave me sleeping pills for the winter months. It's a blessing life is tough if you are exhausted and depressed. My goal most days is brush your teeth and make your bed! Anything else is a bonus.come May i start to tackle my honey do list. What i found helpful is i write down what i did that day. It helps when there is a bad day

[@janabuchheit3389]

The kids moving off takes part of your heart.

[@kencurtis2403]

Right? I only have one and I really miss him.

[@janicerhoades8851]

When I oldest son went to college I mourned. My heart felt broken. My husband said honey he will be back this weekend. I adjusted. When middle son went to school I was fine. When the youngest graduated high school. I wanted to dance in the street.

[@TheSwimmom1]

I have one son that moved across the country and another that moved to Australia.You want them to be independant and follow their dreams then they take you up on it. Skype is a godsend. and the boys play video gsmes with each other online to stay in touch. We are so thankful for technology and the financial resorces (from budgeting over the years ) to be able to visit them or pay to have them come home.

[@bonniestieben]

Christine- Howdy!! Do you ever scramble up your hamburger, portion it off, and then vacuum seal it so it's super easy and fast to throw a meal together? I find this saves sooooo much time!!! I shred up a lot of chicken breast using the instant pot as well and vacuum seal it. It also helps condense space in freezer because I freeze them flat. My kids can take some out and make quesadillas super fast. It's a God send!

[@laurab7379]

I love it when I can find deals and not have to purchase that item for months! Totally agree with shopping the deals for future meals, you do spend less whn you prepare ahead of time. Fruit and produce seems to be the only thing I shop twice a month for and random things in between my deal shopping. I spend so much less per month!

[@debraschwicht9741]

My husband and I remind each other, when the almost-70-yo aches&pains get tough, “ This beats the alternative (being dead!) all to heck!” And…you’re still young!! It’ll get tougher, so keep taking care of yourself!

[@jylromain6439]

I'll be 73 on the 22nd. So yeah. I was thinking..."Wait for it!" LOL

[@ninnymuggins5159]

CHRISTINE, I would suggest writing the dates on the front or top of your food packages with a marker. It would make it easier for you to rotate your pantry. Also, write the date on things when you open them and when you put leftovers in your fridge. Then you will always know how old or how fresh something is.

[@Isis31]

Perdue chicken thighs are .83 cents/lb at ShopRite this week. 🤯 Unfortunately, I don't eat dark meat because it makes me nauseous. I will buy 2 packs for my neighbor who lost 1 of her jobs and for a former student who is struggling financially.

[@maria_w311]

Hi Christine 👋🏻 Big hugs. I twisted my knee in the garden. Now I'm being told to sit still, no gardening. Are you kidding me? I am not handling this well. Prayers for fast healing for both of us!

[@sevnthhevn]

Mom always told me “getting old isn’t for the weak!” At 51 I’m starting to understand that!! You asked for fingertip stories, not mine but my brothers. When we were kids at my grandparents house, loading up the wagon for a ride and picnic, my brother was walking thru the garage when a wind gust went to slam the back door which had a glass pain in it. My brother, thinking he was saving the door from slamming and shattering the glass, grabbed the door and sliced the tip of his index finger from the palm side knuckle to the tip, and it got deeper in the finger as it went. My dad being the genius of the family helped him wash the finger and tuck the skin flap back down and wrapped it up to go to the hospital 20 mins away! While in the ER, that doctor unwrapped his finger and pulled the flap back open to clean it before the sedation or without sedation. My brother was a teen when this happened maybe 16. A pretty nurse told him to him to squeeze her hand when it hurt. She jokingly told my brother he must not be very strong cause he wasn’t squeezing her hand very hard. To which my brother said “I don’t want to hurt you too!” So she put his hand on a lever or something metal on the bed and patted his shoulder instead. My brother then broke the metal thing off the bed from the pain being so bad. It took forever to heal as they had to cut off the skin flap and it had to heal from the inside out, and they drilled a hole in his nail bed to let the blood drain while they worked. Not a fun summer!

[@jasmineadkins-wills2297]

“Is this what it’s like to get old?!” 😂😂😂 YES! I think it is! But this could be a time you just need to slow down and be in the moment. ❤

[@angelag669]

I like to stock up on things when I can as well. As a single older person on a fixed income I have to be strategic. The one thing I can't copy you for is freezing whole packages of meat. I have to break them down into smaller portions for 1 or 2 servings. I have been meal planning for quite some time and it makes things so much easier. A few years ago I went though my pantry and both freezers and did a complete inventory that I keep on a spreadsheet. That way I can see what I have and plan around that. I found that bread, milk and cheese all freeze very well. I hope your hip gets better so you can enjoy the summer.

[@lynhanna917]

I watched a young guy deal with a package of frozen chicken pieces. He took it, put it in a ziplock bag and beat it against a brick wall until the pieces separated. It works like a charm and you get some aggression out. I do the overhead toss onto the floor method myself.

[@barbchumbley9142]

In your 40's or sooner your "check engine light comes"on! Stop and heal.😂😂

[@kathyb-t7j]

I’m an active 68 yr old, I take one medicine. I was helping a friend get her house in order before a surgery she was getting, I was painting her bathroom. I’m short so I was standing on the shower seat to run a bead and went to step down long story short, my left foot went straight out and my right knee went straight down on the metal shower track. Lord. Fortunately I did not break it but messed up the stuff around it. So no doing anything for at least 5 weeks. I’d rather be beat. 😂😂❤❤❤

[@grammamary7283]

As one ages physical therapists are worth their weight in gold.

[@ejcastro9518]

There are a lot of good videos on rehabilitation of hip joint pain and strengthening. As we get older it seems inevitable that we wear out. A lot of knee pain can be caused by hip stiffness etc. I have found the videos very helpful even just showing me how to walk correctly to lessen pain. Hope you heal quickly so you can enjoy your usual activities!

[@jillgott6567]

You got me hooked on buying clearance food items. Thank you ! I have saved so much money. And my shopping hauls have really gotten small.

[@lynhanna917]

My son discovered the best store to get markdown items is the walmart in the rich area of his town. It appears that the shoppers don t want their neighbours see the sale items in their cart.

[@jylromain6439]

We also have tax on groceries. I buy the Butterball frozen boneless turkey breast and use it for sandwiches and sliced thicker for dinner. Much cheaper than deli meat.

[@abcjerilee]

Arthritis everywhere. I used to walk 40+ miles a week to relieve stress. Now I am reduced to a rebounder and chair yoga, but don't give up! When I had back surgery, my muscles went to sh*t! Love your bargain videos! My kids are in their 40's! YIKES! The upside? Grandkids!!! ❤

[@kerryf9796]

Christine, I was using my Notes app for grocery lists, too. Then my husband's coworker said he and his wife use the "Out of Milk" app. It's free. We love it! My husband and I both installed it and synced them, so if he wants something, he just adds it to the list, and I will see it (you just need to tap and refresh). It also categories everything. You can make your own categories too. I added a category "Sam's" for everything I need there as well. Otherwise it's just broken down by meat, produce, dairy etc.

[@heatherhogan8565]

Just downloaded the app. With 7 people in my house (long story) I'll take all the shopping/remembering help I can get. Many thanks! With my father in law on hospice, I can sync with his caregiver on all I need for him.

[@kerryf9796]

I'm so glad I could help. I'm sorry about your father-in-law. ❤

[@GrandmatoRVSGCM]

Welcome to growing old! It sucks! Rather than “doing” the fun stuff I get to supervise the fun stuff while I watch the grandkids do the fun stuff!

Found your channel a while ago but I teach and you know school is a lot! This summer I began watching again and I love your way out of the freezer and pantry!! Been doing that for two weeks now. I have saved so much! Love your channel! Keep up the great work.

[@katarinawilson4894]

I love it when you do these types of videos! I always look for the sales at Fred Meyers but sometimes I’m not sure what is a good deal/stock up price. Please do more of these! Or like a sales ad breakdown! Love your channel! 🤩🤩

[@karenm7433]

Now that you’re over 40 you need to be careful of overuse injuries like this. I’m 49 and just now after 3 years of long COVID FINALLY able to resume short runs. These last 3 years have been complete and utter hell. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. As a marathoner, not being able to exercise was like losing my identity. It sounds shallow but it’s true. Take care of yourself and rest till you heal!!

[@Hannah-lc7de]

I love when you do these types of videos! You're always inspiring me to look for deals.

[@vcneveroski]

One day you jump off a truck bed from a standing position and the next you look down and say nope and sit your butt down and slide off. I wish I could remember exactly when that happened. There is also a time when you stop just walking and start watching where your feet are going to land. I've entered that stage slightly early because of previous injuries but it still blows my mind that I have to stop myself from just casually skipping a step or hopping of my deck that's only a foot off the ground.

[@PerilousRainbow]

The teasing of not putting things away right absolutely got me. My family has so much adhd. In my family, if things aren’t where they’re supposed to be, we laugh at the absolutely ridiculous places things end up. One time it was someone’s phone in the fridge, car keys in the freezer, I could go on for days 😂 And apparently I attract similar people to my life orbit. My mechanic has adhd and the amount of times that’s come out when I’m there to get my car or talk about something with the car. Today it was that he left a black socket on the black lining under the hood and couldn’t figure out why the hood wasn’t fully closing. We were both absolutely cracking up once he realized. After 3 times of trying to close it 😂

[@melissahill4138]

Lol😂

[@AmySimmonds-luv4Jesus]

So sorry about your hip. I'm in PT right now for the same thing. It will get better. Thanks for the grocery haul video. I always learn something new when I watch you.

[@nicolemitchell9402]

I wish there were a Kroger store near me. They do delivery here, but when you google the store location it is literally just a warehouse with a bunch of Kroger trucks on the google street view! I do have Aldi, which is great for overall low price, but seeing those mark downs and deals makes me jealous!

[@stacyadams728]

I wish you well with your recovery. I’m just now getting over a shoulder sprain from skiing in February. Getting old sucks.

Thank you for the inspiration Christine. I can't wait to get back to stocking my pantry, we are in the middle of moving so I have just been buying what we need.

[@janabuchheit3389]

Great video! You've overcome so much in the last year. Just keep swimming...! I am a sale, clearance food junkie! I get you completely. Buy cheap, the food tastes the same. I find awesome meat clearances at my local Albertsons on Tuesday afternoon. Have you tried that at all? Mine gets rid of their weeks special before the Wednesday official sales. Has saved me bundles. The comments you made about people being upset with how "little" you spent on that week's groceries would benefit greatly by watching your monthly breakdowns. One week next to nothing, the next week is a stock up. It balances out in the end. Thanks Christine!

[@user-oo9mv6lj7j]

Cleaned out my canned goods today! Needed a swift kick to get started , thank you for the boot !

[@laurahill2272]

I tore a hip muscle a year and a half ago. I had to lay flat for 6 weeks, then have been nursing it ever since. There is a fine line between not enough movement and to much movement. Little bits at a time are key!! You will heal, but it will take patience and time.

You are awesome my dear and I love your channel! I also I caught you on NBC news talking about saving on vacations!! You’re so cute!! Also take care of yourself so when you get old it will not come back to haunt you!! Listen to your body!!! I’ll be praying for healing!!

[@kathybrannon6070]

Mine was not a fingertip, but a whole finger. June of 2020 I had a wheelbarrow loaded with several concrete blocks sitting by my fire pit area. As I moved near it I somehow bumped one of the handles. The load shifted, the wheel barrow flipped, and the handles swept me off my feet. I ended up on the ground with the side of the wheelbarrow cart sitting on my left ring finger, and my glasses were gone. I ended up in physical therapy for 10 sessions. I was told it would be back to normal in 18 months. It's not. There are still rings I used to wear that I can't anymore. I did find my mangled glasses frames months later. They were unrecognizable. To answer you question about being old. I guess this is what it is like. I took a fall this week over a tree root in my back yard while picking up trash the raccoons had scattered. I've walked around and over it for years, but not this time! Thankfully I was able to get up on my own since I didn't have my phone, and I was still in my nightgown. 😅 Oh well, guess I'm old now. By the way, I shop Kroger for my groceries. Can not beat their sales! I also enjoy the fuel points perk!

[@carolbeatty2468]

Great stock up video and cool to see your bacon deal as it comes from my old home town Missoula, Mt. Thanks for the ideas on how to look for deals!! Sorry for the injuries and I hope you heal soon.

[@leannepayne4081]

I ask my kids to help put stuff away and they have no how or where items should really be placed. They know some things that need to go in the fridge or freezer, but other things I do have to tell them. They are only 5 and 6 though so I'm just glad when they are willing to help me

Ever since I’ve discovered your videos a couple years ago, I never pay full price for groceries anymore!! Only find the clearance or sale items! It has made me a better shopper and also cook with working with what you have. 😊

[@wendygricken3369]

I only shop online Walmart, because firstly I can have it delivered (medical) and because I know I'm always adding to my basket unnecessarily. I find it extremely difficult to shop/save for one person. I do make a couple meals and freeze them but space is limited and I make repetitive meals.

When I was in middle school I opened a can of cat food (I was doing my chores) and sliced my right pinky finger nearly in half. The bone basically was the only thing holding the top on. This type of can had the opener on top, and ever since I refuse to open those types of cans. I had surgery to reattach my artery, tendon, and nerve which was successful. I do still have a bunch of scar tissue and the nerve isn’t fully healed (and it won’t be, it’s been 20+ years). I feel your pain!

[@firequeen2194]

Perfect timing Christine! I took a mini staycation to tackle closet clean out, freezer and pantry clean out/organization. It’s gotten a little out of hand, lol. Plus I’m an avid canner so time to rotate and take stock. The garden is in, I cut way back on what I’m growing in order to can/preserve what I actually use the most. In the crock pot is a pork loin with the Victorian BBQ sauce I canned last year (rhubarb based). So delicious! It’ll be wraps tomorrow. My neighbor lets me have all his rhubarb and it’s harvest day tomorrow. Yes, you do a little at a time and you spend WAY less at the store. Im literally down to mostly buying loss leaders at the store. I wait for the sales. Which is good because my vehicle bit the dust and I just had to get a new car. Haven’t had a car payment in probably 20 years so at least I’m (or was) debt free. New goal! Your total was amazing. I was behind a person at Walmart who spent that on basically junk which would maybe have lasted him two weeks tops. My mother and I just looked at each other and said “wow’ with our eyes 😂. Way too much processed food imo but perhaps he can’t cook? Compared to the other aisle who spent about the same but purchased real foods…lots of meats, potatoes, rice, etc. You could tell he cooked. We had a fun conversation about the difference between the shoppers. I know who’s house I’d want to be invited to for dinner, lol. I’m not judging anyone for their choices but it hurt my heart to see how much cash I could’ve saved that first shopper by either teaching him to cook or teaching him how to shop. 😉

Wait until you plan what you drink in the day based on where you have to go and bathroom accessibility. Like hit the doctors office first, they have clean bathrooms and they are close to the exit vs costco where the bathroom is at the far end of a long hallway to nowhere.

We always try to save the most money but shopping when things are on sale, going to the bent&dent and growing vegetables. I learned at a young age how to stock the pantry and budget money. We’re currently stocking up our saved pantry for Fall/Winter

Thanks for these tips! I love a good cereal sale too! My kids really don’t eat cereal anymore, not sure what the deal is with that, but I miss the sales! My youngest age 14 has struggled in school this year with reading comprehension. We need to find more reading material he is interested in and maybe some incentives. To add to that, he just broke his elbow and had surgery so that affects most of our summer plans. I’d love to know some ideas on how to keep him busy!

We definitely repackage meats with the vacuum sealer. If something gets lost in the deep freezer, chances are, it won't be freezer burned. We found a pack of wings and another with quarters that we repackaged in April 2020 and they were perfectly good
