People should be able to understand that you’re eating stuff you purchased previously but also not using some of the stuff you are purchasing this month. C’mon. It all balances out. I like these videos, Christine. Nice job.

[@jenarutberg9323]

Thank you!! I'm sitting here trying to stretch grocery money until it screams. Our rent is up 37%, gas doubled, food up and we've had health issues so in the ER and missing work. Your approach is simply brilliant and your happy attitude while at it is what I needed! God Bless you and your family!!!! Stay safe and healthy! Btw for 10cents a bar, even if I didn't like them I'd probably eat them....wow!!!

[@keeperofsecrets88]

Same! Our landlord sold & our rent is about 30% higher now. Luckily it's an upgrade with a dishwasher & on site laundry so the convinces help make it feel worth it but it's definitely a struggle & KZbin recommending this channel has been a big help. I'm in NY so my prices are higher & my bakery outlet isn't as inexpensive but she's still motivating me to stretch where I can! Hope your health gets better soon. 💖

[@youmakemehappy7]

@@keeperofsecrets88 doing things like making oatmeal & grits & maybe a banana on the side for breakfast have helped me so much! I found bread at dollar general for $1 so we've been getting it right there & doing a lot of pb&js & also peanut butter & banana sandwiches which you have to try if you haven't! So yummy! I've been making a lot of rice & beans too & pasta & definitely utilize potatoes!! They're so cheap, filling & nutritious! You can make them all types of ways. Also, please reach out to food pantries in your area. Half of them don't even ask for proof of income anymore. I finally started & they give you SO MUCH STUFF I'd NEVER be able to afford. Organic meats, all kinds of expensive meats, dessert treats, subs & sandwiches from the store already made, lots of produce, breads & bagels, peanut butter, canned goods, etc. I just have to supplement with milk, butter, jelly, water, juice, coffee, etc :) it's been such a blessing!!!

The Quaker oatmeal squares are also my favorite cereal. And i too, wait for sales. I think sometimes people may get 'mad' about you using something you've previously purchased because this is a position of privilege to be able to stock up on sale items. It's easy to forget not everyone is able to spend $11 on bread, despite the good deal, when they only have $1.50 for bread that week. Now, their anger is misplaced because it boils down to what the video topic is. And like everything, prices vary depending on where you live. I'm in Canada and basically would never see some of the deals you do but that's not what I'm looking for when I watch your videos. Ideas, inspo, entertainment, large family life, encouragement etc etc Keep up the great work!!

I have never understood why people include the prices of the things that they already bought because you have already spent money on them in the past. Great haul of things for under $400 for sure. I think that many people don't shop this way stocking on sale items to use later but it is exactly how I shop. My husband tried to explain that to people and they didn't understand either. We have been doing a low spend for the last two months because we had plenty and we were not eating it but I used the budget to get the lowest priced items to eat for the coming months. Wondering what the coming months are going to hold and we are probably going to use the money we saved in the last few months just for the price differences.

[@courtlee23]

Exactly the stuff you already bought was part of a previous budget and so not an accurate representation of the use of your money you know?

Would be cool to do a video like this every month and then at the end of the year do a summary video to show the average monthly cost!

I think the people who complain about you using things you already have in your stash don't understand the point of haul videos. I watch haul videos to see what deals you could get and what things you could stock for a good price. I get inspiration on how I can get the best deals while shopping. If I'm interested in how I can feed my family with little money, then I watch budget meals videos and not hauls. Greetings from Germany. Your videos are great Christine, keep it up.🤗

Great video. I wish we had discount bread stores up here in Canada. Butter here at our “discount” grocery store was 5.99/ lb. Thats about 4.71 US. Time to get a cow.

Usually we can get store brand butter in Michigan for $3/lb. So far not bad. I noticed our meat has had the biggest increase in price.

I went to the grocery store today and a family package of hamburger (3-3.5lbs) was $7 a lb! I almost swallowed my tongue!! They were like $25 a package! I’ve bought them in the past for $8 for the whole package! Fresh fruit and veggies… it’s out of control!

[@bettywurm306]

I’m in Michigan and fortunate to have several apple orchards nearby. For most of the year I can easily get a half bushel of apples for around $10. Grocery prices are increasing, but I’m still finding nice deals with clearance stickers. It helps having a little in the freezer and pantry. A little creativity with ingredients and I can make a nice meal.

[@kaykrausman8012]

Your logic on sales to stock up is good. So many budget eats videos urge people to stock up as their budget allows. It's not going to happen overnight, but even $5 extra to spend on pantry stock ups will eventually add up. The people who are against your methods need to understand that not everyone's way of stocking up is a one-size-fits all method. Thank you for your videos over the years. Please keep them coming. Times are going to get harder before they get better. 😢

[@reneewittman3294]

Re: Honeycrisp Apples - our area grows apples, and the Honeycrisp are the first trees to bloom - and a hard frost killed most of the blossoms in 2021. So we had Honeycrisp available for like the first two weeks of apple season, most damaged but normally priced, and then the prices shot through the roof. EARLY flowering apple types were affected, so that's something you might want to research to see what options you might like from later in the season.

@@OoThereSheGo That makes sense to me. I'm afraid we're a little picky with bread so some of those loaves might never get eaten, especially when they are a little stale and then would have to be frozen.

Why do people get upset if you use items that were bought already for the week before or the month before? Saving on the grocery budget has to be planned and thought out. Today I will be out for a hair cut and as I am near three stores I can buy food at, I will have fun seeing what sales they may have for me. I have a little apartment freezer that has some room in it so will hopefully find treasures to fill those spots. It's a form of investment, invest now to save later. later being next week, next month, and when I spend on food next time it can have cost savings as I maybe have that investment to fill in holes. Thank you Christine for all your videos, they are enjoyable to watch and we learn a thing or two.

I have a budget for grocery shopping but I also have an allowance for things I didn't plan for that are a really good deal. A vast majority say well pork is on sale but that's not in my plan for the week. Oh no, if porks not in the plan, the plan is changing or I'm using my extra $$ to put it in the freezer.

[@kristinwb]

What people need to understand is that your grocery budget for a month is spent on a METHOD of food shopping that results in lower grocery cost overall and over time. It's not self-contained in a month (because that's not the most cost-effective way to grocery shop). You use what you already have in your fridge, pantry, and freezer, so you can focus your grocery budget for that month on getting the best deals possible to set you up for future months (and filling in with fresh items for the current month). It would be silly to "count" food you already own because you've already counted those foods in a previous month's budget.

I live in south FL, notorious for bread products going moldy in a blink, so I put mine in the fridge/freezer right when I get home. Surprisingly, I find tortillas keep perfectly fine for months in the fridge. I don't prefer freezing them because they tend to crack on the edges in the course of shuffling stuff around.

I live in Oregon and our Fred Meyer does the same thing. I shop the deals, but we don't have as many as you do, lol. Most of our bread stores are shut down or I don't know about them. We have Dave's, but it takes about 40 minutes to get there. Enjoy those prices! Thanks for the tips. I use them as I can. Love your energy.

If I did this challenge this month would of been sooo off because I spent $550 on my fruit and veg CSA (community sponsored agriculture) for the summer. The one I purchased is for 16 weeks of locally grown organic produce picked up weekly but you pay now when the farmer is spending their money prepping for the growing season. It seems expensive but then you realize it is 35 per box and the boxes average out to a value of 45 or more for farmers market produce.

Love this video and all of your videos! You inspire me so much to find deals and save money on groceries. Thank you! ❤

I buy butter in bulk and make ghee with it. It's shelf stable for a long time and if there's a grid down scenario, you don't have to worry about it being out.
