I own a landscaping business in Florida and work in the heat 5 to 6 days a week. I tried LMNT and I feel SO much better when working!!! I have more energy and I love the sparkling ones in the can!!! I just made my second order and and ordered 64 of the cans this time. ❤❤ Thank you for recommending LMNT! ❤

Lauren is the ONLY person I believe when they say “I’m buying it for my kids!” She’s got the willpower and discipline I aspire to have 😂

[@jenmatt1923]

I know! Christine takes poor Lauren to three grocery stores right before a competition when her diet is so strict she's probably ready to eat her own arm off. That's cruel and unusual punishment!🤣

I have to tell you my latest Winco story! Last week I was there and in the produce section grabbing avocados when my husband texts me saying he’s at the Winco that is in the parking lot of the Credit Union he works at and they had the big container of blue berries for 98 cents and he told me to buy some. So I walk over to where the blueberries are at the store I was at and they were marked $3.98. So I grab the proud guy, who was stocking corn nearby and say, what’s up with the price differ? He said that each Winco store has the authority to drop prices if they have too much over stock, or if it looks like the produce is ripening too quickly and it needs to sell faster, basically they can drop a price if they want or need to for any reason. He wouldn’t give me the same price as what my husband found, so I texted my husband back to tell him. He just went back after work and bought like 10 containers. I washed and froze them and we have been making smoothies with them. I also made blueberry syrup and blueberry pancakes for my granddaughter, she spends Friday nights at our house so mommy and daddy get a date night. Anyway, that’s my Winco story.

Cioppino (chuh pee no) is a fish stew that originated in San Francisco (that brand is made in this area as well, “wine country” California. It’s tomato based and traditionally is packed with clams, mussels, shrimp, fish and Dungeness Crab. That’s a sauce base you would add the seafood to and serve with garlic bread.

[@laurie66]

That sounds amazing!!

[@laurenj.5312]

Sounds good!

[@carmarasmussen8118]

I paid $47 for $120 worth of groceries this week. Probably not Christine level but not too bad! 🎉😅

[@TD-izAbxy]

Big tip: Costco has $100 Instacart gift cards for $80. We buy one and use it to place our Aldi curbside order. Aldi's instacart prices are same as in store prices (at least at my Aldi store). That's a $20 grocery savings every week.

[@applesandoranges9916]

Lauren’s muscle definition is insane!

[@Stuey2008]

She's on steroids or some form of muscle/performance enhancement drugs!

[@katharinedodson9330]

Are you kidding Kristy? Can't you see? Most women who work out don't have arms that look like Lauren's unless their IN the competition all pumped up and competing. They look sleek and defined during their normal days but don't have super pumped up man arms like Lauren has just walking around the store.

i didt knnow if that was a female or male.

[@marilynrybak9154]

The best tip I found, which I implemented, was shopping the leader sales and going to the two grocery stores here, instead of just one/ and taking full advantage of those leader sales. I literally cut my June grocery bill in half. Yes, I have to go to two stores which is costing me more “time” but I don’t mind grocery shopping and the savings experienced is exciting.

[@FrugalFitMom]

Exactly! it's amazing how much you can save!

[@KJDogluv]

Sorry commenting so much but I love your vids and your smiling positive attitude and when I get so sad I watch you and feel better ❤

[@southernsunshine4886]

Your grocery haul videos are my favorite. Haven't seen Lauren in a while - Holy Cow her muscle definition is phenomenal! Wishing her luck in the competition.

[@coral.walker]

love seeing you bring your sister along. What a great haul. Cheers

[@Fawn62312]

Have fun at your competition, Lauren!!!!!

[@simplyfromscratchrecipes]

You all are so fortunate to have a store like this, where we are in Florida there is nothing like that. I have searched and search and nothing. It is hard to even get discounts at our Kroger owned store, guess it is because they put it on an island and figure they can charge more being on island. Love watching you and your sister hanging out, you two were cracking me up!

[@CT_36]

Same on Long Island. Even our discount Hostess shops have closed.

[@simplyfromscratchrecipes]

@@CT_36 it really is sad that places like that have closed down or we don't have them near us.

[@AvaMS101]

No discount grocery stores in central Iowa either!

[@simplyfromscratchrecipes]

@@AvaMS101 I hate that there are not more around. While I do appreciate her videos, her grocery budget is unrealistic for those of us that don’t have access to stores like she does. I would love to find those deals and only spend $400 a month on groceries.

Nothing where I live in eastern Nebraska either.

I scored today at my local grocer. 18 large eggs for $2.20. Sell by date still 2 days away. I eat 2 eggs every day and my dogs eat 15 eggs total for an entire 30 days. Score and some happy dogs. I bought 6 dozen.

[@jennifersjunkmail5935]

"...with Lauren and me." The preposition "with" takes the objective form of the pronoun, and you put yourself last in the list as a courtesy. Thanks for asking! I love it when people care enough to try to get it right. Your "I'm silently correcting your grammar" t-shirt is one of the things that tempted me to give your videos a chance way back when. Now I'm hooked!

[@FrugalFitMom]

YES, that's the correct grammar - thank you!

[@jacquiblanchard3131]

An much simpler way to figure it out is to just take the other person/people out of the sentence. Then it becomes "...with I" vs "... with me".

[@jennifersjunkmail5935]

@@jacquiblanchard3131 Agree! That's the main tip I like to give people.

German here. Germans love sparkling water aka "Sprudel". Also "Apfelschorle" which is apple juice with sparkling water.

[@cathys7087]

I’ve tasted Sprudel - for some reason it tastes so much better than regular sparkling water 😊

[@voiceojane]

Apfelschorle is the best!

[@Borderlinegoldenretriever]

Juice is unhealthy

[@elissapoh7782]

I was an exchange student in Germany when I was a teen and at that time finding still water in Germany was impossible! And my host family wouldn’t let me drink tap water so I got used to Sprudel really quick lol. I still drink it. I like it better than pop. Sometimes I put a tiny bit of juice in it but rarely.

[@vlmellody51]

I love plain sparkling water!

[@ColleenJoudrey]

My husband needs to eat a fairly high salt diet to compensate for 1000cal BJJ classes 4-5 times/week but was also a bit lousy at drinking enough water because he claimed it gave him headaches if he had more than a liter/day. I started adding salt to his water job before putting it in the fridge for the night and within 3 days, he stopped complaining about the water headaches.

[@susancriscione6617]

Wish I had a discount store like this near me! Love watching your videos!

"Chip-E-no" it's a base. Great with Shrimp, Crab Salmon. It's a Portuguese fish stew base. Very popular in San Francisco. Serve with sour dough bread and a crisp salad. A Christmas favorite.

[@amywright2243]

Good to see tour sister again! Hope you get your mom and brother back on soon!

[@gramcracker1616]

With Lauren and me. "Me" is in the objective case because it is the object of the preposition "with". You can double-check that by saying with me, or with I. Then you know for sure! You're welcome, and I'm very glad you asked!! 💕💕🤗🤗👌👌

[@CLJlovesmal]

I am not a fan of sparkling water but... that is because carbonation sets off my GERD. Plus I just never liked the flavour of seltzer or flavoured/carbonated water. I have had Sjogrens syndrome since childhood so I need to drink a lot more than regular people, but I'd still get told I was dehydrated in the ER. It wasn't until 2020 that I was told, by an ER nurse, to swap my waters- 16oz regular water, then electrolyte water. Game changer for a lifelong water lover that tried telling adults to drink more water to feel better. My local area has Mr. G's. I even did bread deliveries to one of their locations over a decade ago from a little bakery. I haven't been since before the pandemic. It's now on the list for this week! Thanks for the reminder of these great stores.

I encourage on your next shopping to buy a whole chicken if on sale, here it has been over 100 degrees for over a week even up to 111 degrees so don't want to heat up the kitchen: Glass or microwave Roaster Roasted Chicken in the Micro-wave oven use clear glass Pamered Chef Poinsettias Oval Roaster 1 whole chicken 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil SEAONDING MIXTURE: 1 Tablespoon flour 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves cook in Microwave uncovered 15 minutes while you make the glaze. In small saucepan warm 1/2 cup Apricot Preserves and 1 Tbsp. vinegar. Spoon over chicken. Cook in Microwave uncovered for 15 minutes longer or until till chicken reaches 165F.
