[@BOOHOWELL]

If you email a company about their product telling them what you like about it then they will usually send you out some free coupons for their products. Most people do not take the time. I do because i like to get the coupons and they like the feed back. :) love your videos. Now that i found you i am binge watching you today. :) Big fan here!

[@onelittlemiracle241]

This was fun! I enjoy your older, couponing videos.

[@marisastoneobrien7834]

You are such a women after my own heart. I love the 'country' ice chest. I listen to your video's while I am doing my day job.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you Marisa!!!

[@actuallowroller]

That ride to the store was beautiful! I would please like to be added to the list of visitors this summer 😛❤️! I have a feeling you and your wonderful husband are fantastic hosts.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Ahhh Amber thank you for the kind words ❤️ Shelby

[@5GrammyBear5]

Just love watching your videos, they're so uplifting.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you so much. I think like people find like people whether in person or online. I do you tube as a hobby and try to just be me, I figure those people that like my channel would also be attracted to me in person.....and if I'm not their cup of tea, then they can move on. hahahaha I have to say I have been Blessed with pretty awesome and positive subscribers. Again thank you for your kind words. Shelby

[@marialaurel6440]

I really like your videos. They are so inspiring and you share great ideas. I'm in Texas, no snow just windy and warm. I hope you'll are staying warm :)

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you Maria. I heard Texas was in the 80's over this past weekend? I love SouthLake and San Antonio. Hope to get back and do some more traveling and our boys love the BBQ and steaks. We have a wonderful heating system that has a soft feel to it, you would never know it was cold outside. Ken and I are both originally from California, so having 4 seasons is quite a change for us. SHelby

[@cherylannjohnson8801]

Love your videos...thanks so much. Stay safe in the snow!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you for the kind words Cheryl. I woke up this morning and the sun is out, it is beautiful outside. I think there might be more snow and then sun the rest of the week. Shelby

[@1TwinkleC]

I am in Georgia no snow here. Yours is so awesome. Stay warm.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

No snow, you Lucky Dawgggg! Ken and I fell in love with Georgia when we visited Savannah. We had the best breakfast ever, fried pork chop on a homemade biscuit with grape jelly.

[@annmittelstadt2938]

Hi Shelby. I have a Tops here where I live too. We don't have Price Shopper or a Costco. I like how you just plunk the gallon of milk in the snow. Lol

[@denisemccormick1907]

Great tips alwayz!!! luv the inventory sheets enjoy your Winter Wonderland till next time

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thanks Denise....I just got to find the motivation to do the pantry inventory....but today has turned into a lazy day and we are going to enjoy it. ((((snuggled on sofa watching movies))))

[@ptebo7219]

Shelby what GREAT shopping trip you had ! Those tenderloins are fantastic, like they say strike when the irons hot ( that may be a little old for you, LOL). That Price Shopper sounds like a great place to shop though. Stay safe from the snow storm. Patti

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Hey Patti it is snowing so heavy here, it is crazy. Ken took dinner to our neighbor and the snow was well over his knees by six inches. We have our drive way plowed but the boys have cleaned off the walkway 3 times already today. The snow plows are doing a great job keeping the roads open and clear. BTW my son said to tell Patti "to say strike like a boss" not sure what that means, but I think it means strike while the irons hot. LOL

[@ptebo7219]

WOW, thats crazy. Tell your son I will remember to strike like a BOSS, LOL

[@Kinsella_Finn]

“Country Ice chest” lolol

[@katbalouohi3946]

My favorite is Sunday pork chops and applesauce.Yum and I have one of those fancy ice chest too.:-)

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Pork Chops and Applesaaaauuuuuuccccce! Ice chest worked great, water was chilled by the time we got home.

[@Sheywh12]

WOW! Snow is beautiful!! Please do be safe getting out!! How do you find all the time to cut coupons etc. LOL Before my disability I could run circles around myself LOL!! I'm thankful to be up and around again that chair was horrible!! Although I feel like I should be doing so much more to save on things for us... I'm so jealous you even got your freezer sheets done!! Mine are in protective covers,I did pick me up a 3 ring binder for them and the pantry sheets... I try so hard to make meals where I never waste anything!!! I stock too when I have extra never thought of putting it back and holding it.. Not a bad idea!! 😁😁😁😁Thx prayers Shey

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Shey Ken and I tried Hello Fresh this week, it is a meal delivery service. They deliver everything to your door that you need to make dinner, it comes in two and four serving dinners and you choose how many dinners per week you want. My girlfriend gave us a 50 dollar off coupon so we tried it and there was absolutely no waste. I'm not sure what your grocery budget is, but maybe this type of service might help? here is the link www.hellofresh.com/tasty/

[@Sheywh12]

Oh thank you sweetheart... We have plenty of food and I'm always finding new crock pot meals Like today I prepared the cutting and got everything out of the cabinet Kevin will bring the crockpot to the Kitchen tonight... We do great I'm just always trying to use all the sour cream or like it was cheaper to buy 5lbs of potatoes than it was to just buy 4 for my New England Clam Chowder... Now we don't eat a lot of potatoes as he's trying to loose weight and I've already lost 105lbs lol So now I've got to figure out how to make those potatoes all up lol!!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Shey I make 5 pounds of potatoes for one meal for our family. LOL

[@Sheywh12]

I know before my disability I did the same LOL!! That's why it's so hard for me now not to waste food LOL Still get the best price as we eat the better meats and such and it's not cheap..You budget 300.00 a week I budget 800.00 a month plus a 100.00 for the dogs as we have 6 4 legged children LOL 😂😂😂

[@sherrykstewart]

I love your meal planner/grocery list! Where did you find it?

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Hi Sherry. I purchased the menu plan forms from Carrie Elle several years ago for 5 bucks. I see she now has free printables www.carrieelle.com/free-printables/ and she also has meal planners that she sells. Shelby

[@marisastoneobrien7834]

We don't eat meat...but your idea of getting the tenderloins for guest is a great Idea. $45 feeds two people for steak dinner at a restaurants. Where did you get those freezer pages? We have three freezers and I have a hard time keeping track of everything.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Hi Marisa the Scattered Squirrel has a lot of free printables Shelby scatteredsquirrel.com/kitchen-binder-printables/

[@leslievalenciano-lopez8887]

Those Tenderloins are such a great price! How smart to stock up on them! Where's the Calendar? I need to sign up! lol

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Yes Leslie it was a great price. You have such a cute personality! Shelby

[@RunsWithKnives]

Nice finds Shelby, but no birthday cake deals this week? You know for my birthday party, lol. I'll have to get on the list for next year, I think my Mom is heading here from VT this summer.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

I learned from the best! I bet she will be happy to spend time with you and the girls......and of course Hank. Vermont is such a beautiful state. HaPpY bIrThDaY

[@RunsWithKnives]

Lol, thank you. Well she and I were in the hospital back 4 years ago so this will be her first time flying since then but I told her just let people know that she'll need some extra help. My mom lives at the base of Okemo mountain and I wouldn't give up growing up in that area for anything.

[@annejustus6200]

U must love up north somewhere!

[@myalabamahome1125]

I was wondering where you got your meal plan/grocery list worksheet? It looks so easy to use and keep up with. P.S. Now I want to go buy some beef tenderloins for the deep freeze. Loved your video where you showed how to break one down. :)

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Cami Thomas Carrie Elle has a online store. She sells a year menu plan and I believe she has some free downloads for just the menu plan page. I bought her downloadable package for five bucks years ago and still use it. It is so worth it to find a meal planner that you like, I feel so on top of things when I meal plan and grocery shop for the week. Things seem to go smoothly. I must confess this past week Ken has been in California and I didn't meal plan 😢 but each week is like a new beginning, we get to try getting the meal plan & grocery shopping done. Shelby

[@amysvob3066]

Shelby where did you get the paper for your weekly meals and freezer inventory? I'm thinking I need this in my life!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Amy I purchased it years ago from CarrieElle.com for 5 bucks. She still sells the downlaods as well as printed meal planner. Shelby

[@rchopp]

This video sure gave me some ideas, I think I would like to book a steak dinner for the second week of august..LOL

[@TheQueensCabinet]

hahahahahaha I ALWAYS look forward to your comments, you are a breath of fresh air!

[@kellys7291]

I love watching your videos too but it makes me realize how poor we are.. lol no seriously though.. but hey 1 where are you located... 2. Are you a chef 3. How big is your family 😘😘💜😁 I love your channel.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Kelly welcome to my channel, we have a great group here. Kelly when Ken and I were first married there was often more month than money. One time we had 17 dollars for two weeks of groceries. I made homemade bean tostadas with sour cream, lettuce, avocado, salsa, cheese etc. but sadly after a few days all we had was beans and tortillas LOL We ate them breakfast, lunch and dinner, but we were thankful. After that I slowly started building my pantry, and tried to stock the freezer with meat specials. I wasn't a very good cook when we first got married either, but slowly I learned recipes from family, friends and co workers. We currently have a household of ten, so it is really important that I cook because it is expensive for us to eat out. Ken and I worked really hard and planned for retirement in our 20's when our friends were buying new cars and going on fancy vacations. Ken retired at age 50. If we can do it, so can you. Follow the Dave Ramsey plan and you will be OK, we didn't have his plan back then but it is basically what we did. We just moved from LA to NY. Love SHelby PS Ken and I think back on our tostadas eating days and laugh about it, because we were poor but happy. You are young, and beautiful, just be smart with your money and you can have the life you dream of. Best wishes.

[@marisastoneobrien7834]

Shelby, your response is so sweet and thoughtful.

[@stephanienelson9332]

Did you create your own menu paper?

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Stephanie it is a five dollar download from CarrieElle.com I have gotten my monies worth over the years!!

[@stephanienelson9332]

TheQueensCabinet thank you❤️

[@kenishacharles7231]

Question where is all your stock items from your next house.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Kenisha we have a large pantry and then long term food storage. We recently moved and are still unpacking, buy we will get there little by little. Can't wait until everything gets in order. Shelby

[@kenishacharles7231]

OK I have watch your earlier video with all you food storage so just wanted to know that you still have it.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Kenisha yes I still buy in bulk and that saves so much. We hope to get some fruit trees planted this spring, that will help off set the food budget as well. I watched a really interesting documentary talking about with every degree of increase in global warming, food production decreases 10 percent. When you also think that the world population is going to double here in just a few years, you can only imagine how high food prices will rise. A few years ago Forbes magazine predicted we would be spending 42% of our income on food in 20 years. Yikes! I look at countries like Venezuela and see what food scarcity and inflation can bring to an entire populace. We have had it pretty good in America, but that can change; oil prices and food prices have a one to one correlation. If gas goes up, food prices goes up. Sadly we don't know how to do the things that our grandparents knew how to do like canning, growing food etc. Kenisha as mom's we have to share our knowledge with one another and help each other learn how to meal plan, buy in bulk coupon grow food whatever. I hope to do some food storage videos when we get settled because it is easy to store dry goods long term and I'd like to share that information. God Bless Shelby

[@kenishacharles7231]

I live in Trinidad and Tobago and although I have fruit trees in my yard it is nice to watch how you store items because of you I started storing box milk thanks.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Ahhhh you just made my day...no my week!!!! I feel so humble and honored. Much love Shelby

[@waldomiller]

when i have people coming for dinner i never tell them in advance how much it cost me to feed them...no couth
