I chucked when you said that someone said to you “Well, you’re so lucky that you’re able to stay home”. I haven’t worked outside the home in almost 31 years. Through sacrifice and planning we’ve done just fine. It’s a matter of priorities.

There is the consideration of nutrition dense food as well. Better to buy whole foods: real chicken, real yams, real potatoes, etc. These are not only cheaper than processed but also better for you.

Bless you for giving great advice to people who need to hear it! I wish with all my heart that I'd learned these things in my 20's, but really didn't until my late 40's and 50's. I'm now 70, living on social security, and it's not easy. For 10 years, my son and I lived in a house in the suburbs of Central Florida - I purchased it in 2010. Being a single mother, I had to work outside the home, but that didn't mean I had to spend like an idiot. My backyard became a "micro farm," and most my neighbors thought I was nuts. I grew pineapples in my front flower beds, had four hens in the backyard behind my privacy fence, and grew a 1000 sq ft garden. You'd be amazed at what you can grow and preserve from just 1000 sq ft!! I leaned to can, dehydrate, vacu-seal, freeze, ferment and pickle. I even make much of my own cheese from grocery store milk. I forage for wild blackberries and elderberries, and if a neighbor has fruit trees that they never pick, I ask if I can have the fruit and bring them a jar of preserves. Grocery shopping? Cooking from scratch is much less expensive, and much healthier. And for those people that tell you, "I don't have time to do that, I work full time," well, so did I! I worked for a very busy lawyer, and that's not banker's hours, either. It's a matter of prioritizing what's important to you. I paid off my credit cards, every single one, and paid off a loan I'd taken out in 2016 when my heating and A/C system died. In December of 2020, I sold that suburban 3 br 2 bath house and bought a 3 br 1 bath cottage with more land. Sadly, I still have mortgage, but it's less than what I was paying in the suburbs. Inflation is killing us, but we are blessed here, because as prices rise, we have more options. I now have a 3500 sq ft garden that provides food year 'round, and have a flock of 7 chickens that provide plenty of eggs and extra income. I preserve enough vegetables for a year at least, and either sell or give any extra to my church's food pantry. So please know that many are going to reject what you're telling them, and even laugh in your face, but there will also be many who will see that if you can do it, so can they. You are making a BIG difference in more lives than you know.

Supply and demand. Inflation on things like eggs doesn't bother me because I refused to pay the price of them. Don't pay $5 for a bag of chips that's half full anyway. Don't pay $9 for grapes. Don't pay $6 for eggs. Definitely don't pay $9 for 4 sausages....Demand goes down because we refuse to pay that much. Now what happens to the price...this was great Tawra bring us more👏🏾

It is way to easy to grab something that looks ready to eat when you ho shopping... Most important thing is to eat before you go shopping!!! I am finding that all the extra ingredients (chemicals) in most of the 'items' at the grocery store ate making me ill. So I buy basic whole food items. Flour unbromated, natural sugar, honey, fresh/frozen veggies (no sauces - read ingredients.). Most of the fruits are best frozen, unless you can get them straight from the grower. I make my own premixes like chocolate cake, brownies, pancake mix. I use either canning jars or ZipLock bags - write the dry ingredient measurements on one side & the instructions for what wet ingredients to add and how to prepare. Much cheaper & I control the quality of ingredients. I have even cut the recipe in half so we dont uave too much extra to eat 😅 Also, make double meals. When making lasagna, it is super easy to make two - then freeze one. When making pie crust, triple the recipe and freeze two.

I agree with everything but the margarine. I grew up on it, but will not eat it now. However, I buy my stick butter at Aldi's when it is on sale (usually at holiday times) and freeze it for later use. I hardly ever pay full price. We have cut out snacks for the most part.

I agree. When I was younger with my first 2 children, I bought bananas and which ever fruit was on sale. I also stocked up on canned fruit. I only buy protein when it is a good sale or clearanced. Your grocery bill is all about choices. By the way, we LOVE your hamburger bun recipe. I made it when I didn’t want to go to the store for just hamburger buns. My family loves them and my middle son requested them for his Confirmation party. Thank you.❤️

You are right - if you don't live near stores, once a month is the way to do it. I don't live in the mountains, but I live in a rural area where it takes me 30 - 40 minutes to get to a real grocery store. I go get my groceries, snacks, and everything else I need once a month. Then I only get something from Family Dollar in our village in between if I need it - like maybe bread. People generally buy the same things to eat over and over anyway so you should be able to know what staples you use. I agree about the potatoes. Baking sliced potatoes in the oven is just as satisfying. And most snacks can be made from scratch easily. Ever since I was a young homemaker if I wanted something expensive I've always asked myself how much of something else could I get...Instead of getting one box of garlic bread I could get 2 or 3 loaves of bread and use the butter and garlic powder I have at home, then have leftover bread. I still do everything this way unless I want a special treat. And...the only debt I have is taxes on my (no mortgage) house and insurance on my house and (no loan) car.

I made the GF Lava cake. It took about 5 minutes to put together and was amazing. It cost penniies on the dollar compared to buying a cake. I got the first cookbook and the GF/DF and my husband saw your show and scolded me for not getting volume 2. lol. Keep up the great work, you're awesome. Love your shirt. God bless.

I have to disagree. Big difference between sausage and hot dogs. Hot dogs are more processed. I also wouldn’t pay $9 for those sausages. I was lucky and had great polish deli near me and would purchase real sausages. Depending on the type of sausage you wanted, it would range $2 plus per pound. And yes, there’s a huge difference between grocery store and polish store sausage.

Something you haven't touched on is the excess use of "cream of" soups, cream cheese, sour cream and shredded cheddar in the recipes the last few years. I use some of these things sometimes, but not every week or in excess. Stuffed zucchini boats, twice baked potatoes, stuffed shells, or in some hot dips. I do live under the poverty level, as your family has for a long time. The poverty level for 1 elderly person in 2022 was $17,667, In 2023 I am living on $15,600 for the whole year. My rent is almost 1/2 of that amount, and then there are tithes, utilities, gas, insurance, etc., with food being the last thing on my list (or whatever is left over). I allow 2 bags of chips (from Aldi), and 1 half gallon of really good ice cream a month. I had not thought of butter and salt on rice chex, but I might go there. Sounds interesting.

I am not posting in judgement with my comment, for context, I read a post online that came from a local parent asking for food because they were waiting to be paid in several weeks. Several people offered them food and some asked what they could eat. This person responded that they could eat, "meat, boxed cereal and lunch meat", (!!!), because "their kids were out of school". I had a moment. There are many people out there complaining that they have no food that would respond in anger if anyone tried to suggest ways they could afford to eat more. They think their excuses are reasons where that simply isn't the case.

I just got back from the grocery store and got me 4 items that were on sale with my loyalty card. My total price was 18.05. But I saved 21.06. So......, people, it is possible to save more than you spend on product

In Canada the price for food is about double what most Americans you tube content creators quoted but putting on my extreme budget hat $15 would give me a single person 4 days worth of food and thats eating well

Not sure if I should laugh or cry at how clueless people are. I'm listening to your video as I prep, from scratch, homemade meals for the upcoming week using all items bought on sale and stockpiled in my food storage or sale produce that needs to be used. It seems there is an entire generation, or more, of people who have never had to or learned to live frugally, budget, cook from scratch, etc. It's rather scary.

June is strawberries. Mine are forming even after freezes later than normal. I go to the store and think I don't need that and that and that. Don't miss it but not a foodie either. Do people really need to eat full meals three times a day? I just do one then a banana or something like that in the morning then maybe some kind of snack from pepperoni, chocolate, cheese, etc. And Swedish fish.😂Those are addicting. Not really into surgary stuff.

Love watching your comments but sometimes i feel like screaming. You dont have a hearse with carry tops for money to take with. Life is ao short and some people work extremly hard for their money and want to spoil themselves. You are bot guaranteed tomorrow so if you want to spoil yourself once in a while so it. Yes everyone is to their own.
