I couldn’t click on the link?

[@missieinthemiddle]

I see a lot of these videos with people buying so many processed foods because that are cheap. I am glad to see someone making recipes with as much whole foods as possible. Respect.

[@AmyWaytoSave]

Thank you so much! That is my goal!

[@userofyoutuve]

Respect to everyone making meals any type of way for there family as expensive as food is today

[@tammybrennan2040]

@@AmyWaytoSaveI’m going to attempt to cook today. Thanks for the inspiration 🌷

[@catspjs6229]

We used to make sure we had every food group, high protein, lots of veggies but it is no longer possible for us. We can hardly afford food for the month anymore. Our taxes have skyrocketed and so has our home insurance. Things don’t change soon idk what we’re gonna do.

[@jade5056]

Girl no one give af if it’s processed, people need to feed their families how they can

[@paigehearn7102]

where i live that bacon and chicken alone will be $25

[@HisgGalore]

Ijs tho 😂😅😢 i just said i wish we had those prices

[@jessimanzanarez8849]

Same

[@Cocorich830]

Same here. This whole thing nearly 200$ for us

[@dionneredd7955]

I sure was about to ask where she live because them potatoes and heavy whipping cream would’ve been 10 dollars where I live also😂

[@jesscline9661]

She’s definitely not in Cali 😂

[@moorelivinwithxbeautyy]

Finally someone who shows not only what they’re buying but also what they’re making with it. 👏🏾

[@cataaaliciousss]

It's refreshing to see whole food recipes! So many videos focus on cheap, processed options, but healthy doesn't have to break the bank.

[@AmyWaytoSave]

@@cataaaliciousss thank you so much! 😊

[@vincenza47]

You can buy boillon cubes and make your own chicken broth or beef broth. If you add flour you end up with a gravy . Plus you can make it numerous times not just once like with cartons

[@sheenashanta1205]

Yesssssss but the powder is so much better then the cubes ❤

[@MILlz0]

Yeah in my city that’s not possible. I wish it was though, I truly do. Those prices look amazing.

[@MiaKonifka]

I love how you showed each meals with what you bought and I love Zuppa toscana! Thank you for this video!

[@Healerslightnlove]

You did an awesome job!!!❤ Unfortunately in California that would cost me double, but still worth it❤

[@pixiesanchez9195]

Tip my dad used to do so if you check normally every so often all the grocery shops have a big discount section I wait till then to Stock up mostly on meats and just freeze them put it this way 1 shop of frozen meats lasted a full months worth of dinners for about £20-25

[@swjdnansjdjs4224]

In Canada that entire cart of food is worth 60+ dollars

[@jacijune]

in Barbados it's way more.

[@cjxo8432]

Yea I was gonna say how is it so cheap for her lmao there’s no point in doin that here in Canada

[@ChildofGod-q7j]

In Illinois as well … u. S .

[@unruly_ronin]

Great strategy. Good cooking. Great to see

[@teeadvocate]

Smart,simple meal plan.

[@dorismingo8050]

That’s a great menu for the price!

[@irenek2k20]

Thank you for sharing -- meal ideas for cheap 🟢

[@AmyWaytoSave]

Thank you for watching!

[@vhuLTuReZ]

Respectfully in nyc that would cost me 50 bucks lol

[@melanielozano6773]

Here in Canada probably 60 bucks

[@isaiahswain9178]

Nice!! Good job. All looked delish..

[@calmwithcarly]

I wish I had a Aldi in my area!

[@briannagarrett5022]

I use safeway weekly ades to shop for some of my groceries. They always have things for sale.

[@sheasavvy8155]

Wow this is amazing. 🥰

[@justryn1995]

Thank u

[@barbieamica2023]

Nice but I think the eggs and heavy whipping cream are cheaper at Aldi

[@CatherineAndersen-l9q]

This is very well thought out

[@AmyWaytoSave]

Thank you!

[@dianaromero9691]

Everything looks so delicious!

[@AmyWaytoSave]

Thank you 😊

[@JesseGMan7]

Wow awesome!

[@JazzTheChameleon]

That food looks so good. A grocery run like this would cost me nearly double or triple the price. I blame where I live yes, (a pack of bacon is $7-8 here) but I'm also picky and will only eat fresh produce. I can't stand frozen or canned veggies. 😅

[@pek5117]

Nice work Amy.

[@AmyWaytoSave]

Thank you!

[@ValorantRivals]

Excellent

[@oustted]

I seem to never find cheap foods can't even go to dollar tree anymore for stuff because it's all over $3 and good stuff is $5

[@keshasanders9375]

Good mix of food. For 11 more bucks I would've got carrots for 1st man and made goulash ( ground beef tomatoes elbow pasta) and salad mix. That would be 5 separate dinners 6 nights of meals, each having veggies, for $35 for 3 people.

[@lizacrochets98]

Funy, where im at that first meat product would range from $16 -24

[@KevinMichniewicz]

How does everyone feel about great value products??

[@radale7125]

Was super excited about the soup it looked so good and in my budget but I saw current prices and wow 😮 heavy whipping cream that you got was $1.60 rn for me its $3.37! Kale was .58 for me its $1.59 etc etc so crazy how prices went up 😢

[@alexaa.2511]

OMG ALL OF THAT FOOD LOOKS DELICIOUS!!! especially the zuppa toscana! 😍🥘 my fav!! 😋

[@AmyWaytoSave]

Thank you 😊

[@Teri_Head]

Very nice

[@AmyWaytoSave]

Thank you!

[@BulborbStan]

ALL that stuff in the 2nd cart for like $10? Must be nice.

[@ChildofGod-q7j]

I no wonder where she lives.. need to move there . If I could afford to . Lol

[@merplegend3833]

Where am I getting any of that cheap? I’m about to head to Walmart myself right now, all that is way more than that!

[@haley_me]

the 10 pound bag of potatoes at aldi is cheaper than the 5 lb bag of potatoes at walmart here. This video is probably before food was crazy idk. Its getting so hard to keep up.

[@NikoleAli]

I would buy flour, yeast, eggs, and baking powder to make the bread. Rice instead of pasta. Whatever is left on gas

[@momotin8567]

What about lunch, snacks etc ?

[@sara7524]

How do you decide what you are buying at Walmart vs Aldi

[@biancamella7486]

Compare the prices between stores, which can be done somewhat reliably online. Aldi is almost always my go-to for produce and frozen veggies. Dairy really depends on what the sales are like, and meat is also generally just whatever is on sale or what I see on markdown that week. I usually end up checking 2-4 different local grocery stores (since I'm lucky enough to be spoiled for choice). My favorites are Aldi and Kroger.

[@infunerous666]

No state tax also makes a difference

[@biancamella7486]

Most states don't tax groceries/food.

[@yvetteorvis2404]

I'm on a $30 per month food allowance. No air fryer or food processor. Any suggestions?

[@alexdwyer8591]

So you’re on a dollar a day food budget lol… Levi’s to you would be to eat soup in Rahman and then fast for the other 15 days of the month lol

[@clariceoliver2127]

Awesome 😂😂😂

[@ViVidVendetta]

So the first is aldi and there was some sort of coupon for the chicken and also no tax.

[@AmyWaytoSave]

No tax on food in KY!

[@butcherbad2422]

Come to nz that first trolleys 100 dollars

[@alexdwyer8591]

the impressive thing here is that she actually gets her toddler to eat the same things as the adults do

[@nomatterwatialwayswin]

Wow in canada thatd be over $100!!!

[@as-guardianangel9360]

Here in Texas those pieces aren’t anywhere. You must live in Iowa

[@lillianlangille4486]

Chicken itself where I live is close to $20😭

[@GoTommyBoy]

Where im at that first basket is at least $40 and the second at least $20

[@akbomb436]

This is actually impressive

[@remylebrell9524]

Lucky man! Thats a keeper.

[@Eastcoastlcsw]

This was before Covid right?

[@AmyWaytoSave]

It was 2022

[@loveshopping67]

The prices in 2022 compare to now its ridiculous. We need to go back to thoses prices

[@Whiskysgirl]

Was this made 10 years ago? Where are these prices?

[@jessimanzanarez8849]

Cali has entered the chat..

[@DaughterOfGodWifeOfJSimmons]

I need to know how you made the stuff

[@AmyWaytoSave]

I explain it all in my video here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWqoeHyofJiHbrssi=Me95U54B8LJ_Cmo3

[@Cocorich830]

[@AlejandraRomero-uo2er]

[@EXTALT]

[@emeraldkimble7602]

Cab fare is five dollars one way to grocery store I don’t have car nor free rides from friends family for shopping I budget ten bucks round trip ti get food I font wuakify fir fi I’d dtamos ir wekfare😊😊

[@andyfrndi6140]

What this whould atleast cost me 100 dollars

[@jaclynb2786]

This must be in Kansas…. Because in California chicken and bacon would cost the $25 budget in 2024…

[@GabrielHernandez-hg8mh]

If only in California 😢

[@FrenchiesDelights]

Damn where do you live where a can of green beans is 54 cents!?

[@dlissabb56]

That ain’t Hawaii prices😞

[@CHANELSREALITY]

Fresh or frozen veggies much healthier and taste muuuuuccchhhh better. Not the pre cooked ones.

[@AmyWaytoSave]

Okay

[@jojobankston-wh3jf]

I live in Washington, and the chicken alone would cost $10

[@kevinmoore9593]

I live in hawaii that would be $150 easy

[@tabithalee-i2e]

Yeah no my Walmart ain’t cool like that I have 2 jugs of milk a pack of 4 sticks of butter a bag of flour one tub of yogurt and one pack of lunch meat turkey and some yeast and I’m at almost 40$

[@BlackopsUSN]

Everything is so damn expensive bruh in nyc 🤦‍♂️

[@johnjohnohanasian2544]

I would eat all of that by myself in one meal.

[@Nauttiee]

1 pack of meat here is 15$ in california

[@chuyalexis1411]

25 bucks? More like 100😂😂😂 hell nah wtf

[@byronwilliams4062]

Where you at I saw walmart and just knew $50 dollars ain't nooooooooo way that's what I just saw.

[@alejandrohurtado1175]

I was gonna say ain’t no way here in Colorado

[@chaseniwa7971]

yea looks like the wife and kid are going hungry coz thats just enough for me.

[@samuelpancake4084]

Where did you find all that food for 25$'s because that same thing here would be a lot more . The bacon u got here alone is almost 10$ 😂

[@brebrown5338]

Those things wouldn’t cost $25 where I’m from.

[@Ormy-]

This would totally be around 130 canadian no joke.

[@BRGRAV]

Now shop for 7....

[@Ormy-]

And you paid .91 for those eggs. Yup this is not real

[@IndiSimpsonRomero]

First 3 items already hit $25

[@ironangel69]

okay but this is only one meal? what about breakfast and lunch???? snacks????

[@puppykate4318]

Here that would be about 50 to 60 bucks right there.

[@wheezy_]

Wtf that woulda been 60$

[@Whocareslol420]

Im tired of rationing my meals for a single person. This isnt the American dream i was promised

[@Andible]

Who promised you that

[@26alexther]

If my kids were younger they would eat less and I would have left overs but now they are teenagers and they eat alot.😂😂

[@jacijune]

i wouldn't waste money buying broth if I'm on a budget.

[@TheKilla265]

Ain't no seconds or taking food to lunch

[@CB-zd2dn]

Clearly you don't live in Canada 😂❤

[@laurw7643]

That’s why this was from 2022 prices have skyrocketed since then we now support migrants in America😂

[@1hunnidps]

I'm not judging... but I've noticed people shop for dinner everyday rather then just buying there meal preps for a whole week ... ?

[@AmyWaytoSave]

You saw this on KZbin because I did this for a video.

[@seso15]

No

[@pittmanfamily6362]

Did you really just put vegetables on a dirty store cart?😢

[@AmyWaytoSave]

Yes, Pittman Family

[@cleo5050]

It was just easier to show us what she got. I'm sure she washed them.

[@AmyWaytoSave]

@@cleo5050 yes you got it!

[@salvease]

I place all of my fresh produce into the cart and bag it into produce bags when I'm in line (our lines are notoriously long)Everything gets washed and wiped down (including packaged foods) when I arrive home from shopping.

[@MI2APatriot]

​@@salveaseSo you trap the germs in a bag? You do realize everyone and their grandmother has touched those vegetables right? It's actually more sanitary to put it in the cart and clean it when you get home like a normal human being.

[@Nagato2296]

GAY

[@braydenfertitta5602]

Mfffff whereeeeeeeee lmaoooo that loaf of bread would’ve been 8-9$

[@joezuccaro937]

In Toronto Canada that would of cost 100 bucks

[@brandeechesnutt2757]

There is no way all that cost 15$… Bacon alone is 8$
