HUGE GROCERY HAUL FOR SUMMER | BIG FAMILY FOOD ON A BUDGET | FRUGAL FIT MOM

[@Maw1325]

Once as I was leaving with a large amount of groceries a lady (who had been huffing behind me the whole time) said to the cashier "some people don't understand what 12 or less means" to which the cashier said "ma'am, this isn't an express lane"

[@cyberstella]

Hahahaa, I love that💀😂 I bet that lady learnt to mind her business that day

[@leighnager2425]

Commenting on purchases? I was once at Albertson's stocking up on supplies for a hiking trip. I purchased sleep aids, black trash bags, and duct tape for blister prevention. The checkout clerk asked "should I be worried?" I responded, "no, but can you tell me where I can find some lye?" The expression on her face was priceless until she realized I was kidding.

If you would’ve asked where the plastic wrap is......

[@deneandoll9922]

chest freezer tip - I use the cloth shopping bags to organize meats etc. The freezer is deep and things can get lost at the bottom. Put them in the bag and you can grab the handles to pull it all out easily. You can also store your bread on top - simply move the bread to the side to grab your bag, return the bag and put the bread back. You can even colour code your bags - green for veggies, red for meats... :)

[@psymompa]

Thanks for sharing. I live in Texas, everyone who's from here, is so chatty. Sometimes it's a pain and sometimes it can be a good thing. Back in the day, I was shopping and I had ginger ale and I was bald at the time, the cashier asked if I was okay. we ended up having a conversation about breast cancer. 11 years later, we're still chatting about our journey and treatments with cancer. 💜 I too love grocery shopping. We were food insecure growing up and so to have money to buy food is a blessing and I appreciate it everyday. If I don't ever have to see saltines with potted meat ever again, I will be a happy camper.

[@AetherEmpressTreJinn6o6]

On the commenting on your order as they ring you out... When I had my first job as a cashier I was socially awkward and terrible at speaking to people. So I would try to make small talk as I am checking them out and I would ask them if they found everything they wanted, if they got help from anyone when they needed it, more ramble about an item they were getting if I loved it or thought it was useful or something. So maybe he was just trying to find small talk with you? Just a thought, love your videos thank you for always sharing your life and time with us

[@seanpenrod]

I'm a divorced man in NORTHERN Illinois looking for great ideas. This is a great inspiration for me for the entire summer.

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

The best idea I have found for those cooking only for one is to make regular recipes, portion and freeze... to start it's a bit pricier and a bit more cooking, but once your freezer is stocked, you're only cooking once or twice a week, and you're still managing to eat with variety.

[@seanpenrod]

Do you have any good simple recipes?

my favorite is when Christine explains how to freeze things hahaha

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

What I thought really funny was my little chuckle and thought "oh Christine, you've done that before." Repeats never bother me, as channels grow and new viewers are being entertained, and it gets to be an inside joke for regular viewers. But then she commented about the thought of letting it go and I lost it. So funny.

[@hannaneuschwander2774]

Haha! I work as a cashier at the thrift store at the register some and I think it's like "cashier small talk" we just comment on what people are buying to strike up conversations. Today an older lady was buying a bunch of different kids clothes. I asked her if she has kids or grandkids she is buying clothes for and it started a little conversation about her grandkids and it was sweet. :)

[@lilwag]

I wish there was a laugh reaction like there is on Facebook. Your “how to freeze” segment had me cracking up

[@leilareggie1826]

I shopped this way raising my son as a single parent. I cooked to share and we had guests or took food to other houses too. I also gave away bags of food regularly out of our abundance. I hope this video is shared with students to teach them how to navigate our consumer oriented society with good health and financial management as a skill that can be learned and practiced. Please write a book so you get on national TV. I am very serious about this. You are a model of a woman who has chosen to create a family home that works for your family. Keep up the good work. You are an excellent example of true feminism as you are obviously well educated and an excellent communicator. You have created your own career as an excellent homemaker, an honorable and much needed skill set. I hold you in high regard.

[@campoida]

Thought it was an unspoken rule to not comment on people's groceries at the register, not customers and definitely not the cashier.

[@viviannichols3582]

My first job was at a public library. It’s a SPOKEN rule that you may not judge someone’s choices of what to check out. We literally were not even allowed to tell the cops what someone was reading. I always told myself that the person could very easily be writing a paper for school about whatever the controversial topic was. So when I became a cashier, I brought along the same attitude with me. If someone was buying massive amounts of junk food, I assumed they were donating it. Or doing a science project. Or whatever I had to tell myself in order to not judge their choices. 😁 At the end of the day, the store is selling it. The manufacturer made it. So it hardly makes sense to blame the consumer for... consuming.

[@GlamourNNail]

The only time I ever said anything about food choices when I was a cashier was when I was starving and something looked especially good. Lol Otherwise I never said anything regardless of how odd it was.

[@pri.sci.lla.]

Yeah I only said positive things as a cashier like oh I love that product! Nothing negative ever

When I find Chicken~ Whole, thighs or drumsticks packs for .99/lb ~ I buy a few and freeze, in size packs I need. (Bones become bone broth or soup) I just bought a pork loin roast on sale for $5, for nearly 6 pounds of meat~ that became a smaller roast, 4 thick chops, 4 thin chops, cubes for shish kabobs Produce: same. Those bags of salad that do NOT contain lettuce can be frozen and used in stir fry or soups. (Mostly kale and cabbage and veggies) Also, if you have a farmers market near by.... You should check with your local DHS to see if you qualify for help with a bridge card. (Bridge cards have a sister program called “double up bucks” in many areas. They match amount from your card for fresh veg etc. also food producing plants. Local state products) Please call 211 💟 They were able to guide me to local programs that have been super helpful 💜 they have fresh farm to table boxes and pantry items boxes available. Even cleaning supplies can be requested~ Some will even deliver to your door if you have transportation issues. Imperfect Foods offers lower income seniors 30% off (contact customer service) Delivered to your door. Know your pricing to know what’s a good deal Also use the fetch app.... I might eat out once a year. So I prepare and cook everything I eat.... my leftovers become freezer meals for when I’m too tired to cook. I make more than one serving when smart and portion the rest for later. Hope this helps you 😉

Hey Christine! I know that some may chuckle about explaining how to freeze some things but to some of us (me included) that was a foreign idea. We grew up with mom having to buy the exact amount of groceries needed for the week because our household was on a strict budget and also food stamps. Even if something was on sale we didn’t always have it I’m in our budget to buy extra for the freezer so I honestly didn’t even know that you could freeze a lot of food like bread or lunch meats. It wasn’t until I got older and that our family had more income that we even bought a separate freezer and had extra food to freeze. So I know some may chuckle, even I do now, but just be aware that their are some people who grew up with a different level of food availability that may not know that freezing bread is even possible. Thank you for your video content! You are fun to watch!

Your comment really only shows that you don't know anything about the poultry industry. And no, I am not a vegetarian, and yes, if you are struggling financially of course you do what is neccessary to get by. But if you can afford Starbucks, you can afford to buy eggs from chickens who aren't horribly mistreated.

The chamoy popsicles are my absolute favorite!

Excellent deals! I'm jealous of the bakery thrift store. We had one next door to our apartment that we enjoyed, sadly the whole chain closed. I miss popping in to ask "what do you have today?" and the very nice chatty cashier would point out the best deals. And she would toss in a few extra freebies if I shopped right before closing.

Our son recently moved back home , I totally hear you with the hungry athletes - Hayden is a wrestler, works out hard and it amazes me what he needs to fulfill his requirements of protein for the day .

Freezer and pantry space is key in my budgeting. On sale buy alot and freeze

Those coconut Mexican popsicles are amazing!

Lol. I definitely think it’s fun to see what people buy at Sam’s. One day I saw two guys buying nothing but Irish Spring bar soaps, but in large quantities.

We have a treasure box to bribe our kids. I get a lot of the "treasures" from Dollar Tree. Works like a charm!

I always buy the smaller chip bags lasts so much longer than the big bags

My 5 have been home from school most of this year due to rotten Covid lockdowns. Add in my 2 toddlers and I can't keep food in my house! Another 3 weeks or maybe 4 of possible "at home learning" and then the whole summer. Can't wait to do a summer stock up!

Walks into Fred Myer wearing her HEB shirt..... LOL

Wow some great prices! The stores here in Illinois do not clearance the food. They try to sell rotten moldy food at regular price. It's hard to find fresh

[@amandazielinski3247]

Pink lady apples are my absolute favorite too!

Julia Pacheco ( a fellow You Tuber) has wonderful, realistic videos about cooking . I like her variety, and that her recipes are realistic and normal. We used to shop at a bread outlet store, and I loved it. We are a family of 3 adults, so we don't need all of those yummy carbs. But yes, I too used to buy a lot there and freeze it. I love shopping at Winco too :) 🥰💐🌵🌞🌱🌿🏜️💗🥰💐🌵🌞🌱🌿🏜️💗🥰💐🌵🌞🌱🌿🏜️💗
