Easy & Low Cost Meals For My Family Of 5 || Thrifting Haul in Wyoming

[@marjoriebouwens6000]

You do not have to explain spending money on your vacation or any other time. You and Dusty earn you money, you get to decide what to do with it. And taking a memorable vacation with your children is a great way to spend it. No matter what it cost, that's your business. We all know that you do not waste money and you're careful about spending. I am very happy that you all get to go on your vacation and make memories and have fun together. You deserve it! Lots of love to you and your family!

[@michellehunter1642]

These are the best days of your life. Enjoy!

[@violetvillard1347]

Agreed!! What they said + isn't that what vacations all about & why you saved for it? No justifications needed.

[@NiNitosix]

I think she was just giving advice on how it can be done. IMO 😊

[@phyllisorr162]

I ❤ur vids and how you shows us step by step keep up good work I've used many of ur recipes ❤

[@tasteofcountryllc737]

I totally agree. I have never had a vacation and also frugal with money. If in when the times comes, I will not apologize for taking a long needed vacation. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-go9tn7yx6l]

I never ever ever ever do this, but……… I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere admiration for your KZbin channel and the incredible content you create. Your videos have been a source of inspiration and joy in my life, and I believe you are a truly wonderful human being. I was disheartened to hear that some viewers had hurt your feelings a few months ago, causing you to question whether you should continue posting on KZbin. It's unfortunate that negativity can find its way into the online world, but please remember that for every critic, there are countless supporters like me who value your work immensely. Your dedication, frugality tips, and your warm personality have made a positive impact on many lives, including mine. I want to encourage you to ignore the haters and continue sharing your valuable content with the world. Your presence on KZbin is a bright light in the online community, and I genuinely believe that your authenticity and kindness will always shine through. Please don't let a few negative comments overshadow the love and support that your true fans have for you. Your videos make a difference, and you are appreciated more than you may know. Keep being the amazing person you are and sharing your wisdom with us. Thank you for being you, Southern Frugal Momma. Your channel means a lot to so many of us, and we're here to stand by you through thick and thin.

[@mousemeat1352]

I could not have said it better. This family and their channel are a true treasure. Never stop we need families and people like you all.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wyoming is heaven on earth!!

[@lucajulia64]

Kylen's reaction to Old Faithful literally has me in tears this morning. He will remember this for the rest of his life.

[@rubyjones679]

I was thinking the same thing! ❤

[@theresarogerssimpson1280]

His reaction was awesome 😮😊

[@Tobywedinikki]

He brought tears to my eyes.

[@patbuegeler7770]

❤great memories.

[@athia37]

Brook,did I forget to tell you what an awesome Frugal Mama you are ? Ignore the negative Nancy's and the nasty Haters ! By far billions love you ! You inspire and teach us all including old geezers like me(59)..❤❤❤❤

[@brendascott4781]

How sweet was Kylen’s excitement at old faithful ❤ He’s so cute 🥰

[@user-gh9ow5lg3z]

Hey Brooke, I am so impressed with your ingenuity and cooking ideas! Also, you and your husband have raised children who are appreciative of everything you do and they have such respect for you and your husband. All of you have such fun and care about each other. You are a great family! I love the way all of you enjoy and appreciate the beauty of America. If only more Americans would do that. Blessings to all of you and God bless America ! 🎃🙏❤

[@reginacheesbro8209]

I agree with you on that.😊

[@marjoriebouwens6000]

I absolutely agree. They are a beautiful family!

[@PurpleReign1401]

Exactly, isn't this why people budget and save when they can? To be able to have money to do fun things with the family. I totally agree with you.

[@GwenDeeful]

I never would have wondered about the cost of your trip. It is not my business. I was just so appreciative of the fact that you allowed us to come along on your wonderful vacation. I loved the tips and just the beautiful scenery. Enjoy God's blessings to you and your family. Peace

[@cynicalwomannoname7844]

Thank you Mr Dusty for your service

[@kimcrunkleton3864]

Brooke you are looking beautiful on your vacation! Way to rock the headbands and cozy fleece!

[@juliehill8292]

Your baby running around in that Buffalo hat has to be one of the cutest things I have ever seen. I so envy you all being out in nature seeing all the amazing memory making things. You made me want to go somewhere that's never even been on my radar before. Have safe travels and I can't wait for the next video.

[@diannthomas7849]

Oh my gosh. I enjoyed these vacation videos more than you know. Haven't been able to do a road trip in quite a few years, so thanks for sharing your adventures. You are making life time memories with your family!

[@perrycountyoffice7580]

you should never apologize for taking care of your family. Its your vacation, doesn't matter what the heck you spend as long as you are making memories, enjoying life, and spending the time together! I research lots of cheap things to do, we do not camp, but i do pack an electric skillet and cooler and essentials and i cook in the hotel room as often as i need to. I can make stuff my family likes to eat and we can get cleaned up and on to the destination. It is so great that they are getting to explore the country!

[@mikapeeple9738]

You and your family are so genuine and loving. Please know you never need to explain where or when you spend money. I like you mentioned with research there are a ton of free things to do. My sister and I always plan trips with tons of free. I have 4 kids and my husband and I are both military so that makes a huge help. You are so sweet and inspirational and positive. Please ignore the mean people they aren't happy with themselves. ❤from middle Tennessee

I always say The Lord is the best artist when we take the bike to the mountains.

[@JudiWhitacre]

Yes! Ghost Ship! Best horror movie opening sequence EVER!

[@lindabader-acosta7808]

I have to say I watch your channel all the time & I just love all that you & your family share with us. You are so generous & wonderful. Thank you so much to all of you for sharing a part of your life. Your children are so precious. I am so thankful to learn more about different ideas of recipes & ways of cooking. Coming from another country I didn’t know much of American cooking foods. I’ve tried so many meals, they were all so good.

[@gfp46]

Appreciate all her hard work!

[@yvonneconte3040]

Enjoy your time. Miss those days when kids were young and growing loving adventures on family vacations

[@What_am_I_thinking]

I don’t usually comment on channels, but I love watching! So glad you got to do this trip♥️. I think you are raising your kids to be money conscious as well. They seem like great kids and so appreciative of everything! Thanks to hubs for his service to our country!!

[@labellavitakc4706]

Absolutely love your videos and how Informative they are ...I live paycheck to paycheck so I do appreciate your videos ....and love all your matching cooking appliances...God Bless 😇🌅👏👍

[@denisenotdennis]

Thank you for taking us along on this trip... I will never be able to see this!..I am living vicariously thru you!

[@mollywoolsey7677]

I actually was happy to see everybody at the Pizza place. Dusty seemed to be really enjoying it❤

[@shannamcneill8468]

Beautiful! Yes, God is a beautiful artist!

[@tinastone3772]

I really enjoyed this video! Not only do you have a wonderful family...I love seeing your boy's smiles. But it was so nice to see the video footage of the country side. I live in Houston Texas and have always wanted to visit Wyoming and Colorado. This video was such a special treat, thank you so much for sharing this with everyone.

[@victoriasugent6288]

What a lovely vacation! Everything for dinner looks so yummy!

[@tiffanyhusar1385]

We're doing a road trip for my kids' spring break in 2024. Going to go through Utah and visit several National Parks as well as some stops in the Navajo Nation and a State Park. For the Nathinal Parks, we're using the Every Kid Outdoors pass, free to any 4th grader, including homeschooling or free-schoolers 10- years of age. You all just need to be in the same car. We visited the Grand Canyon when our oldest was in 4th grade. I really want to bring my kids and family to Yellowstone. I had the amazing opportunity of being there 16 years ago for my 30th birthday. Hands down, one of my favorite National Parks. Watching this series has gotten me so excited about our upcoming trip. Enjoy your vacation!!

[@lizalynnrivera1329]

Thank you for sharing your vacation with us it was awesome to see something so beautiful .

[@naomirichard1570]

I'm really enjoying seeing Wyoming through you and you families eyes. We've lived here for several years but it's so cool to get your reactions. Please don't feel like you have to apologize for eating out. I've been thinking that you're doing too much work for a vacation!

[@rebaburn2677]

Such a super awesome family vacation ❤

[@beckysonnier6369]

Thank you for sharing 😊. I am really enjoying this. What you and your family do with your money that you have earned is definitely your business! You stated that you had been saving for this trip and the fact that you are making very special memories with your family is money well spent 😊. So glad y’all are getting a military discount

[@amandasnailtasticnails9657]

I wanted to tell you this the other day I was telling someone about your channel. After watching your channel for about two years I’ve came to realize why I like your channel. You cook like I do. My mom doesn’t like my cooking because I don’t follow a recipe either I cook from the heart.

[@lissahammond2249]

So beautiful!!! Thanks for letting us tag along ❤️

[@chellesoup]

Kylen’s voice of excitement is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@annas.r.p.5835]

A cheat for potatoes regardless of how you bake / cook them is to microwave them first then throw them in your crock pot/ instapot / oven / or open fire. Absorbs the flavors of everything else. I m/w them at 5 to 8 minutes til soft then finish cooking while cooking the rest of the food.... Perfect every time.

[@voodookitchenmama]

The little guy's delight at Old Faithful! Loved it! The apple pudding/salad looked SO good. Thanks for sharing your vacation with us!

[@Vro-]

I love all the memories you're making with your children and seeing Kylen in that Bison cap just makes me smile 🥰

[@kimlamons1518]

Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!! Y’all are making amazing memories for those precious boys!!

[@carolrollema3892]

I hadn't considered vacationing in Wyoming, but you have given me food for thought. We don't camp, but we love nature. It looks like an ideal place to enjoy and relax!

[@aimee2234]

Hi Brooke. I love your videos. Im 64 and i feel like i have learned more from you then in my many years. Lol. Your videos and your way are so relaxing to me and comfortable. I feel like im at a friends house watching them cook. Thankyou so much for your heart and your time. I know these videos take time to do. If you need a older auntie let me know!!😊 Gods blessings to you

[@darlenehoover6577]

Kylen's reaction is so awesome! I'd be awestruck at that sight too. 😁👍

[@robbinmorgan9859]

I love living vicariously through you guys. I am also a boy mom of grown boys now and it is so fun watching you with them and them with you. Brings back good memories and happy feelings. Thanks for sharing your time and ideas

Me too. I’m 78 and enjoy watching!

[@mikapeeple9738]

Kyky reaction gave me chills. I love it

[@user-wf5kr8pn6f]

Once again, your video has made my day! Once again, THANK YOU for sharing! I love camping, I love cooking! When we camp I spend most of my time cooking and quite frankly you have given me some new ideas that will let me enjoy more adventures because of the way you camp-cook. Awesome video! And yes, God IS THE amazing artist! Praise to Him! 👆

[@kelley5796]

Just listening to the pure joy that Kylen was experiencing watching the geyser erupt was so awesome! I love how real he is.

[@juliehelms4901]

Loooove snicker apple salad! We use butterscotch pudding, much more caramely flavor ! Enjoy your trip!!

[@createwithlinda5181]

Brooke, you never have to justify why you went out to eat, what you do with your family is nobody’s business. If you want to eat out every nite thats your business. Everyone deserves a nice meal out, once in a while. You have a lovely family, enjoy your time together, with whatever you choose to do…👍👍❤️

[@user-jg6pv7es2z]

The scenery and wildlife in this video was absolutely incredible! And I can't believe you managed to get rare footage of the fabled Buffalo Boy! I thought he was just a myth. - Kylen's sincere and exuberant reaction to Old Faithful brought tears to my eyes. It looks like you guys are having a blast!

[@beckystone7994]

I took your breakfast sandwich idea but used fried Bologna instead of Ham , egg and cheese on bread , Brooke it was yummy ! Loved the video and the thrift store score was all great values ! I love roasted hotdogs over the Camp fire , they taste so much better ! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈

I love fried bologna. I’m going to try this tomorrow.

Thank you for sharing your trip with us. Yellowstone is a place I wanted to go when I was younger. I never made it, but through you I got to share. Kylen’s enthusiasm about Old Faithful is contagious. Love your family. Enjoy your vacation. I agree with you. That you can do a lot for free. My kids became interested in history, because there is so much you can see for free. We didn’t have much money when they were growing up, so free things is what we went for.

[@Skyequack22374]

❤What great memories all of you are making. I’m going to make your snicker salad this weekend.

[@BethSteidl]

I have a extremely budget friendly simple dinner for you. We call it "Slop In A Bowl". What you'll need is 1 pound of ground meat ( chicken, beef, pork, turkey), one half of a medium onion, 1 family size can of Spaghettios ( Store brand is fine ) 1 family size can of pork and beans or baked beans, single wrap cheese or any cheese you have to melt on top ( optional ). Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste. Brown the ground meat with the chopped up onion and salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add the Spaghettios and the beans. Heat through until its hot. Melt cheese on top if you like. This makes a big batch. If you can't get family sized Spaghettios and/ or ɓeans 2 regular cans will work.

[@shellyturner2766]

Thanks for sharing your vacation. This brings back fond memories of our home schooling years...one of the best things was being able to travel in the off season. Also, experiencing that education is all around us . No one tops God as artist.

[@karlalockard4870]

Hi Brooke! So glad that you and the family went on vacation and found a great thriftstore! You found spools and a lot of great supplies for your Aunt's crafting! You all be careful and stay safe! ❤🙏🏼🌹🔥🥰

[@DebbieLee-dr3hr]

Took the Texas grandsons to that same thrift shop five years ago.. They didn't pack jackets and we're headed to high country. Of course, being teens they scoffed at the need for warm outerwear. They wore the nice warm sweatshirts. People, you will need warm clothing. Listen to Abuelita. A warm thanks for the happy vacation memories that were shared.
