Feeding a Family of 6 on $200 a month | Grocery Haul!

[@jojoply]

Oh my goodness, lift moms up, quit tearing down. She is doing great.

[@marichacon6765]

I am just now finishing the "Grocery Hauls" playlist of 161 videos! I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching you and your family! You freaking rock Christine! Please keep sharing your awesomeness with us! And now I'm moving on to your next playlist haha ❤

[@jadeaddington7375]

I'm a newer subscriber, and I'm now going back and watching your videos from oldest to newest. I love how your core values have stayed the same (I loled at the clearance salads) and I can't believe how LITTLE your kiddos are in this vid!!

[@ninaamedro3211]

7 years and you have to changed a bit Christine, although the grocery prices and your kids have grown a ton! Thanks for all your videos.

[@wilmasantos3255]

I'm reading some of these comments and I have to laugh, because you cook the healthiest meals!! Your family is always fed, and you grow your own fruits and vegetables. People are so quick to judge. Christine, you're doing a Great job!!!

[@lisamonalisahikes]

I thought I’d come back to where you began. Thanks for sharing

[@peggycrowley9534]

Gee, with all the negativity and judgments by viewers, I give her credit for posting at all. To each their own.

[@jenniferdiane]

You referenced your older content and I had to check it out 😂

[@MyThreePrettyPennies]

Couldn't resist coming back to the beginning! Love to watch your grocery hauls and cooking videos. I feed my family very similarly - healthy when I can but not everything needs to be healthy. Please keep posting your amazing videos! Love your sense of humor!

[@loveournewtop]

the people that make mean comments about her food choices are probably the same ones who eat McDonald's...SMH..

[@calilove9475]

I eat McDonald's mayyyybeeee 2 x's a year if that. I use to eat way too much of that garbage in my teens and now as a mother I don't let my littles touch that garbage.

[@tawneeseekye1]

Nope, not so for this gal..while I am NOT perfect, I do not eat fast food, processed crap or gmo-laden "food".

[@donnaleeclubb119]

loveournewtop I don't think of it as in terms of being mean or if someone eats at McDonald's or not two times a year or everyday. I just noticed it was a vlog that said "fit mom". I just thought it would be healthier. If I had clicked on someone just trying to save money on groceries (there are many of them), I wouldn't have commented at all.

[@hey9irlie]

When you work out a lot you need to get calories in you quickly. So sugars and fats are important. If you are trying to loose weight these are not the foods for you. Not one person in this family has weight to loose so they need to eat way more calories than the charts state for an average person their ages because they all work out. This Lady is fit, she is slim, shes a fitness teacher, and her family looks great. If you sit on your bum al day though by all means don’t eat empty calories, you’ll get fat!

[@CrystalLopezTx]

Binge watching some of your older videos. ❤

[@YouAdii]

A legend was born. lol I discovered you during the pandemic. When you said at 1:00 'With the bird flu going on the price of eggs...." Man that really hit me. We keep having these issues....

[@psymompa]

Hi. Decided to see your first video just because. You have come a long way 💜

[@grammydar3358]

Just playing catch up on older videos I just love your videos and you KZbin name fits perfectly. You are very good at finding deals. And did I say I love watching thank you.

[@gs5842]

I subscribed to your channel recently. I've binged-watched several videos. Some current, some from last year, just kind of whatever popped up. I really like your videos. I scrolled back to find your first video, see when you started and watch your first video. Well done!

[@Finally_emo]

Ok so I've been following for probably like 3 years mabey a little less but I have seen so many of ur vids I decided to blast to the past and omg look at Hailey 😲😲loving the older stuff till ur nxt vid is out😁

[@goodycitizen]

Watching January 1, 2021 and Christine was touching items in the grocery haul from the start, lol!! Haley with her "yay" was so cute :).

[@meganlongoria2015]

I’m also here on 1/1/21 🙃

[@RebuildingRosie]

I have been watching your videos for six months or so. I am restarting from the beginning :D

[@charlottar0403]

Hailey is 11 and loving ramen made me tear up legit. much love

[@kamarynblackmon3844]

Is this a health channel or something so many ppl are bashing this lady for the food she picked, I'm just wondering...and healthy foods are NOT cheap everywhere I went to the store and spent 40 bucks on healthy food that lasted for a week when I could by unhealthy stuff for the same amount and it lasts 2 and 1/2 weeks.

[@valeriejenkins5011]

I would love to see the menus you have for your haul. I don’t see how it adds up to 60+ meals (lunches and dinners) since you had the cereal covered!

[@jeniisabellarodriguez8150]

omg the cost of food now compared to back then!

[@adyandleo72211]

all props for you i dont know how you do it lol. i could not go to all theses dif stores. ill feel like im spending more money on gas ill rather just spend that extra money at one store.

[@Lost_Soul333]

Its crazy to me how much cheaper grocerys are in the States compared to what we pay here in Canada.

[@kmccoypta]

OMG I went all the way back. Your kids are tiny!

[@morenofamily5697]

I really love this haul! I am very interested in the menu plan you have written up for this food. Does this include B+L+D for all family members or is that separate? What part of Idaho are you from? I'm from Caldwell, Idaho.

[@FrugalFitMom]

+Momof3inIdaho , great questions! I am posting a menu planning video hopefully today if I can get my computer program to work! Plus, check out the stockpile video, that should answer any questions about how much food we already have - it's craziness! I live in southeast Idaho, but I have lots of friends from Caldwell area. In fact, I think my cases of peaches come from the orchard there!

[@whendis.roberts6817]

No meat?????? Why no meat

[@whendis.roberts6817]

One small THING of bananas Ilford the entire month...Wow!!!!!,no fresh veggies....wow.....

[@whendis.roberts6817]

A,few,packs of meat for the mobth. That's for a week or a,few days...not realistic for my family at all. Thats,not ev3n one weeks worth of food

[@Amanda-ev3lg]

I'm late I know. But have you realized by this point that she stockpiles? And has tons of meat. And grows her own garden. Just updating you.

[@lizd1789]

All the people commenting about what you eat. Lol. Get off her ass people, worry about yourself. I am having a hard time believing this is for a whole month tho. For a family of four? Do you guys eat out on top of that? That cereal is the best deal. That will last a long time. Awesome haul, but that wouldn't last my family of three a month.

[@FrugalFitMom]

I have a lot of stuff already at my house, this is fill in items.

[@tangee8252]

I think you did very good in your haul.

[@LivyerLateralus]

I'm sure every month its different and you must have other stuff at home. your haul might not be super healthy but still great!

[@juliebalderas1738]

Great video!!

[@pammypoo3003]

I think people are focusing on the fact that this lady has a background in sports which is why they're making comments about how unhealthy her food choices are. However, the video is NOT stating anything about the 'quality' of the food.

[@sigmaslimez]

nice haul have a great week

[@brandicowan3684]

Not one person, that I saw, said anything about you not wearing your seatbelt. I hope you will teach your soon to be teen drivers to use theirs in addition to grocery budgeting. Thanks for the video!

[@FrugalFitMom]

I actually was wearing my seatbelt. I just wear it under my armpit because it rubs my neck raw.

[@autumnroberts3086]

Omg she actually drove like 30 damn ft to the next parking lot over. Too bad we all aren’t as “perfect” as you my dear.

[@h0llyp0ckets]

I keep seeing videos like these and just being like where on earth do these people live that food prices are so cheap?

[@FrugalFitMom]

We live in southeast Idaho. Food is for sure cheaper here than other parts of the USA and other parts of the world.

[@itsmedeb2515]

we have the same here ... but we have to pay ... great haul

[@xOxOHaeee]

Could you tell us your meal plan for the month? I can go spend 130 bucks at the store. But how do you eat breakfest-lunch-dinner for a month on that little bit of food? I mean you could eat alot of cereal lol -family of 6 as well.

[@FrugalFitMom]

I have a couple of recent videos showing my stockpile of food and some of the dinners we have been eating. Check them out and they should answer your questions!

[@chrisbirch3348]

I've had too much ramen and peanut butter in my life to want any more

[@butterflyinflight85]

I don't think I"d ever buy bulk cereal BUT I LOVE the bulk section at Winco. The Double Fiber also taste really good! You should do a video on how to properly store veggies to make them last the longest.

[@CIays]

Rice, beans, potatoes, spinach, etc.. All cheap. You dont need to buy that shit.

[@eveliinalt]

beans, lentils, squash, chopped tomatoes , bell peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes,

[@CIays]

Taylor I was just giving an example. dipshit.

[@pattyhab596]

She also bought spinach, lettuce and other frozen veggies. I don't understand why people are focusing on the Ramen noodles so much. She did mention that she doesn't buy them too often.

[@gothicgirl94xo]

you eat the same way our family does lol

[@rokanrollannie1]

You're a triathlete and this is what you eat? All processed food is bad but you really went for the worst of the worst.

[@alexandracasu]

I think the same. Maruchan is the worst part!

[@lanabrooks1554]

At 64 cents per pound it would be healthier for your family to eat oatmeal instead of all those GMO/pesticide laced sugary cereals. I do commend you, however, for meeting your budget, and I did see a good amount of veges. But aside from bananas NO FRUIT??

[@FrugalFitMom]

We do eat oatmeal a good portion of the time. I have a lot of home canned fruit that we can eat.

[@tawneeseekye1]

Not to mention those ramen noodles are the WORST (healthwise)!!!!

[@gothicgirl94xo]

I eat ramen and I add veggies

[@pensulat735]

I can afford organic, non gmo stuff but my daughter will only eat ramen, pbj and cereals ( and pastries and ice creams ) .

[@failanpowell]

I doubt that's enough food for a month maybe a week

[@EnchantedStringsToronto]

You have a gift

[@katharyndavidson1188]

Coupon it help stretch your budget

[@FrugalFitMom]

For sure they do! I use them frequently!

[@anastasiiakharchenko5280]

I don't believe that food is all you will consume with your large family. But you are so adorable and funny...I really enjoyed your haul. thank you. best wishes:)

[@violetjane7152]

If there's a grocery outlet in your area, I would recommend it. You can get organic healthy options for as little as a dollar on some items. I think Winco is cheap if you want unhealthy processed GMO based foods. It doesn't cost a lot to eat healthy. I did enjoy your video though , I did eat like that in College when I was on a strict Budget.

[@FrugalFitMom]

I live in such a small area, the only food outlet is a bread outlet. So I get bread there but other than that - nope. :(

[@sarahroberson2112]

I wish I could only spend $200 a month for groceries. I live in Louisiana and a carton of eggs that's 12 eggs cost $3.78 cents one gallon of milk is $4.49 that's the cheap store brand cereal for one box $4.99 that's just basic meat is out of this world high.

[@FrugalFitMom]

+Sarah Roberson I hear you! I used to live in North Carolina and it was just like that! If I could find milk for under $4 I was doing the happy dance. It's true that food prices in Idaho are cheaper. What part of LA are you in? I have family down south by Baton Rouge, and they have some good sales going on.

[@marias3987]

Holy cow! $4 for milk. Crazy!

[@chubbiebunnie2605]

+Nomuzzies allowed you're speaking as if every place in the states has the same standard of living. In New York EVERYTHING is really expensive. I pay just about what you do for those items as well. And because things cost more in Canada, the average minimum wage is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than in the states. And don't discount the currency difference either.

[@irisruiz8980]

+Nomuzzies allowed Sounds like you're the one doing the "bitching " now.

[@calilove9475]

I already know about Canada prices. I live in the United States and I buy all natural organic foods and a small Itty bitty loaf of bread runs us $5-$6. So you don't need to live in Canada to spend an arm and a leg on food.

[@rosettegarbanz]

Are you able to eat all that cereal before it goes stale?

[@FrugalFitMom]

With 4 kids? No sweat. :)

[@Chickenfoothomestead]

Sure! Pump those kids full of JUNK!

[@dallasburns4204]

Making sure my kids have fresh fruits and vegetables is more important to me than saving an extra $100 bucks a month.

[@Amanda-ev3lg]

This is only one video. She has a garden...have you watched any of her other videos yet? Lots of produce

[@gigglesboss2013]

This woman is the queen of stocking up. Frozen vegetables are picked at their peak freshness. And she always has fresh vegetables and fruit in her meal plans.

[@TwistedGypsy32]

Great video. Just subscribed. I have a channel too. Maybe we can support each other 💖

[@annetteogburn6524]

It doesn't seem like enough meet for a month. How do you make that work?

[@FrugalFitMom]

I have a lot of meat in the freezers from previous stock ups.

[@missrivers05]

wow awesome video have you tried any meat markets by any chance they have great deals on meat i usually spend 45 bucks a month on meat at the meat market. gives you a lot more money to work with for other things like snacks or making tuna or chx salad for the family's lunch not to mention beverages

[@russrusselson2136]

I'm impressed you can feed a family of 6 adequately for $200.

[@donnaleeclubb119]

This food doesn't seem that good for you. You could have gotten real oatmeal for probably less money and better for you. You could have gotten raw beans to throw in a slow cooker. If you eat meat, throw a link or two of lean sausage, pretty economical. Spaghetti with marinara sauce. Low sugar cookies are pretty cheap, like animal crackers or Graham Crackers. You didn't have to buy all that processed junk and still had a low grocery bill.

[@Lyca31]

All that awful sugary cheap cereal. it's not good to feed that stuff to kids..... and so many instant noodles. I understand not having a lot of money but you can buy some healthy food cheaply.. at least in England you can.. For cereal I get plain cornflakes (without the gross frosting) or shredded wheat or just porridge oats.. I guess different families eat differently..

[@rpaq1025]

lyca31-the USA government subsidize all the wheat, soy corn and dairy farmers so it makes all the junk food, processed food and drinks really cheap, the USA does not subsidize fresh fruit or vegetable farmers so it is expensive to buy it, that's why this nation is so sick and fat, and it's mainly the poor who are because they can't afford to eat right. PS all cold cereal is bad for you even just cornflakes. breakfast is the most important meal of the day you should eat a full meal not a sugary snack like cornflakes... on this video she did better then most people, the worst was the cereal. most people eat cereal and don't know any better.

[@donnaleeclubb119]

Lyca31 You can get cheap healthy food in the United States also. Oatmeal, chicken, turkey, bagged apples year round and in season fruit, cabbage and other greens (she had some. I would have had more), beans, spaghetti, spicey tomatoes in a can low sodium. She had spaghetti sauce in a jar (some gross looking cheese thing). I would have gotten just plain marinera sauce and a can of tomatoe paste to thicken it. If you REALLY are hard up with a tight budget, Carnation Instant Milk mixed with half a gallon of regular milk and half a gallon of water can stretch your milk budget. I could go on. I put my husband through college years ago. I KNOW how to stretch a budget.

[@ksmb124]

Those cereals are awful..packed full of sugar and God knows what else ! Better to spend more if you can and be assured your family is being fed wholesome foods.

[@virginiawiemann6061]

Holy shit. Look at these prices for meat. That Are animals! And they try to find the cheapest meat they van find and Are proud of this. Pervers

[@calilove9475]

Cereal as breakfast? Maybe once in a blue or as a snack but that is pure sugar. That is by no means a nutritious breakfast. Feed your kids real food and not trash sugary cereal and Ramen.

[@jph4851]

Hmmmm... so unhealthy my dear.

[@pensulat735]

Seeing these meals make me very sad. Im from Germany and wondered how long you can live with this rubbish. No one in Germany i know eats so unhealthy. Im shocked about Americans. Each Video of hauls from the USA Are unhealthy. Why Do they have no cancer?? Only fat

[@pattyhab596]

No one in Germany eats so unhealthy? Aren't you generalizing a bit?

[@stefanaharris3782]

Sausages, potatoes are staples of the Herman diet and I have been to Germany and there are plenty of fat people there.. Not to mention all the beer!!!!

[@stefanaharris3782]

what about all the gas you are wasting??

[@FrugalFitMom]

The stores are only about a mile apart, so I don't feel that I'm being super wasteful on the gas.

[@sunwaves367]

So unhealthy

[@supermonk3y07]

The commercials say that with just 60 cents a day, you can feed a kid. So you should be able to feed all 6 members of your family for little over 100 dollars. Smh
