Our Big Monthly Supermarket Haul -

[@rebeccawatson8923]

I really like to see your shopping hauls, what work you accomplish in house and yard and your beautiful quilts! This is my favorite Utube channel 😊

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thank you so much!

[@judyland-obrien4259]

I love seeing the French products what they cost! Fun hearing more of Mike in the background, too! Thank you both for the hard work and creative ways you share with us!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Our pleasure!

[@AnneManley]

WOW, Jane! The fact that ALL that food only cost $238.00 (Canadian), blows my mind! IF only....!! You absolutely got some incredible deals. Well done! Thanks so much for sharing. It was so much fun watching this video.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sandradodd9728]

Excellent video and nice to hear the banter between you both.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@veronicabradway4409]

“From the sea” 😂 Thank you for the laugh!

[@KarenJamieson-o9p]

Enjoyable to watch what French supermarkets are like! I've recently started eating baked beans again (must we the cooler weather), and found that I can add a can of rinsed pinto beans to a can of baked beans to almost double its quantity. The liquid in the baked beans flavours the new tenants beautifully!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Sounds great!

[@juliemoore6957]

Great deals! That produce is beautiful!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks

[@NessaRossini...]

I live in California, your groceries are dirt cheap! Those are old time prices. It's amazing what you were able to buy. Good bargain hunting 👍🏼🥰

[@nellygs702]

Well.... the whole cost of life is cheaper here, but we usually earn way less as well.

[@lynnhensley4326]

Yes, from North Carolina. Our cost of living is less than California, but income is lower. But your groceries seem a better price. Homes,rent daycare, and vehicles run up expenses here for people. Food is also expensive.

[@sharonm8634]

I'll bet I love your shopping hauls even more than you do!! Ha-ha! Mike is getting funnier as the videos go on! I love food shopping it's crazy. When I travel I love to cruise the grocery stores as well as everything else tourists do! Thanks for your lovely channel!💗

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thank you

[@DebfromVa]

Beautiful scarf!

[@patmartin9727]

I had a great reduced shop the other evening. I got 4 trays with 4 chicken thighs and chicken drum sticks. Reduced from £8.99 right down to £2.13 when I got to the till she said I was just going to reduce those further. Couldn’t believe it when she reduced them down again to £1.30 each. I also got 3 heads of broccoli reduced to 50 pence each then reduced again down to 25 pence. I could believe my luck. I only went in to post a Vinted parcel and thought I will just have a quick look to see what’s in the reduced fridge.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

That's wonderful

[@sheila1013]

Great reductions! 🤗

[@peterleprevost2154]

I’m a bit envious at your meat and fish bargain finds. Well done! Susan

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thank you

[@cyclingonplants7444]

Hi Jane and Mike 🤗Always fun to see your grocery hauls. Thanks for showing us all the great deals you managed to find.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Our pleasure!

[@Amanda-pv9kz]

Your bottled water prices are crazy good!!!! Great buys on fish as well. Have a great weekend!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thank you! You too!

[@coletteburke3004]

Really enjoyed watching your food haul video. What a double act!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

@@coletteburke3004 thank you

[@jessicamcnair553]

I love watching you and Mike, how you work so well together, and your dedication, thought processes, all of it. I definitely look up to and admire you, and enjoy your videos!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thank you

[@Vera-y8m]

Your cabbage and cauliflower and lettuces look like they just came in out of the garden. Well done both of you. You both deserve those strawberries chocolate and yoghurt now. Long time subscriber always enjoy your videos so always thumbs up. Have a lovely relaxing Sunday. Love from cold and getting windy (storm Ashley apparently) Northern Ireland

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks so much

[@Helen36-r7y]

Love your videos. They really encourage me to be more mindful with our money. X💕

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

I'm so glad!

[@CreamPuff-ek8fd]

Another great video! Lovely scarf Jane! Great bargains. We also had a cool week but getting another burst of warmer weather this week and next week which I will gladly take! Making a nice chicken pot pie tomorrow for a dinner party along with a last of the garden produce summerish salad . Homemade hummus with cut up carrots and peppers for the appetizers. And a homemade lemon curd with some homemade cookies with for dessert. Your price for organic eggs makes me cry. I would pay 8$ Cdn for those! That cut up salmon would be great in a fish stew! Great international finds! I often look at those international sections also for better prices or bigger quantities for the same price. Have a lovely weekend.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Those all sound good

[@LaundryFaerie]

Now with special guest star Hercule Poirot!

[@lizriveragoldstein3421]

Great job on your shopping haul!

[@princesscarly88]

Great video 😊

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks! 😊

[@LimousinLife]

We really enjoy your shopping hauls Jane & Mike. The prices you can get are very reasonable when you look around.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thank you, you have to know when to get there, for example, half price fish on Saturday

[@LimousinLife]

@@FrugalQueeninFrance We’re saving all these tips for when we move over in early 2026. By that time you will have made us experts. Btw, we get great free things off the Lidl app in the uk, is that the same in France?

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

@@LimousinLife yes it is

[@monkeeblue]

Pork Butt in the USA and Canada is called that because it's cut from the shoulder and in the old days they were packed to ship out in barrels called butts...hence they became known as pork butt pieces...now known as butt roasts these days when cut into roasts.

[@JillD-ux9zb]

What a gorgeous shop! I'm always so jealous of the selection and quality. Enjoy every bite!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thank you!

[@Leelee...]

I love these hauls.... So interesting to see what food costs in other countries❤

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Glad you like them!

[@Gemma-u1u]

Shame you got caught filming. Great selection of produce. Fish looks delicious 😊

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

It is smart to have some quick food in the pantry for emergencies or for when you're just too tired to cook from scratch. I keep a couple cartons of tomato soup in the pantry.. Ends up saving us money because we're not eating out.

[@Dutch_Gonneke]

Oh the feeling of a freezer full of lovely protein 😍 Prices seem similar to those here in Amsterdam...

[@kathigos4921]

Wonderful! I shopped the last two weeks and found lots of marked down food. One week meat on Friday from Tops and yesterday nice veggies at Lotus. 😊I'm so pleased and it's directly from watching your videos!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

That is awesome!

[@paulamartin6049]

Oh nice to see mike is becomung more vocal from the other side of the camera .... me thinks u may have a little bit of competition lol

[@jhamilton8398]

Thank you for sharing

[@ashjoma]

Love watching your shopping from here in Australia. My late dad was a Geordie and he LOVED seafood. He used to say he could have it for every meal. I’m not so keen on seafood. Maybe a fish cake or a battered fillet occasionally but that’s it. Nothing that I would have to prepare, touch or really look at. Can’t do that. Dad used to get massive bags of prawns from friends on the ships coming into Sydney. Mum wouldn’t allow him in the house to cook them, so he’d have some friends over for a beer and he’d cook the prawns in the garage. Mum and I wouldn’t touch them. Nope …….

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

You're dad knew good natural food

[@lisam200]

Love to see what you're eating and all the good deals. Smart shopping!

[@nancyvales4513]

I love your haul videos! Thank you for sharing. Groceries here in Vancouver, Canada are through the roof, sadly! I always shop the sales though to maximize my dollar. Take care!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Sorry to hear that

[@Larissa-iw5wy]

Agreed 😂 the proteins were great but then I thought about the oil, flour, sugar and spices. Those prices were closer to my childhood costs than now 😢

[@tonuyahubbart5398]

Love your grocery hauls and what you find on sale! Even when you don't find the sales it's less expensive than where we live here in US! We spend part of see print and summer in South Carolina and rest of the year in Washington state. You and Mike are an inspiration to me with your work ethic and positive demeanor. Much love, Tonuya

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks so much

[@lexicuryk4414]

I enjoy watching your grocery hauls, to me the prices seem really good.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Glad you like them!

[@Patricia-pq9xw]

Nice that you both talk in this video !!😊

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks! 😃

[@cindym4946]

Very good prices!

[@joanmoore3018]

I love your shopping hauls. I was able to find a few mark downs in our local store today. I always shop.with a plan.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Love that!

[@carolined3058]

Very good prices for the fish and meat .

[@sallymartin4681]

I'm beginning to really love this channel

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thank you

[@annemarie3636]

Here I am...leaving a comment 😉. Maybe next time you could also tell us how much you've saved? All the products still have their original price on them, so it would be interesting to know how much better you were off!

[@corinneleppard1933]

I do love a shopping haul! I know prices are still high, but it looks like you got a lot of good deals and I'm always slightly envious of the beautiful veg you find. I recently paid £1.20 for a cauliflower and, despite going through all the boxes, still found one that wasn't much bigger than my hand and def not the size of my head (and I have a small head!). We're swapping to cabbage instead as we like it and get a lot more, for our money, plus it's really good and sweet at the moment. Mike seemed to be enjoying himself behind the camera, too😀

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

@@corinneleppard1933 thank you

[@robynclarke5274]

Great bargins especially the fish. It seems that you had fun shopping that day. I also buy tomato soup for emergencies, though yours sounded delicious.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thank you for watching

[@tondamccarthy6537]

I love your videos

[@pamreeves7846]

Interesting haul! Great bargains

[@lynnestait8011]

wine for less than 3 euros!! and that cauli was amazing - cauliflower cheese is my all-time winter comfort food - neigh, you could say its my winter stable 😁

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

So good!

[@jodieupton4000]

You are good bargain hunters! I think that is a blessing of semi-retirement as you can choose when you shop. My situation is different, but thanks to your tips, I am more knowledgeable about shopping wisely now and try to get bargains when I can.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks for watching

[@Sandra-s3p]

Love your grocery hauls. Thank you Dolly Mary Jane and Mike. Have a great weekend.

[@sandrasotorivera1657]

Hello from Costa Rica. Your bargains were so incredible. Our country is very expensive so enjoy your shopping. All the best.

Greetings from Canada! Those blue tin Heinz beans are the best ones! You did very well buying all of that excellent quality food for those prices! Enjoy the many meals you will make. :-)

[@tracycreaser4462]

Love it, great job ❤. With the leeks use 3quarters of it save the bit with roots, put in a glass of water it will grow again ,then plant .

[@michellevanderwesthuizen2534]

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Yay, thank you!

[@rosemarydoran9907]

Hello Jane, Mike, Mary & Dolly! Great shopping haul! You really have to shop around to make your grocery dollar stretch! I sm in the mudwest U.S. and use Walmart for the majority of my shopping but use a traditional, pricier supermarket (Kroger owned store) for their loss leaders weekly sales. I stock up as practical (financially as well as how much I will use and can store).

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks for your feedback

[@maryettabeck1967]

You did well!!

[@marshagaravaglia8149]

Always enjoyable ❤

[@BrittanyLucy]

Love the cameo by Poirot, always amused me to think of him as Hercules Leek! The bio eggs from Grand Frais are a really good deal, and I'm amazed to learn Heinz beans are so expensive in the UK, makes me feel better about buying them the price they are here.

[@adventuresofvictoria6411]

I enjoy your shopping hauls. Prices seem reasonable.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Glad you like them!

[@CherylAnderson0]

Amazing grocery haul!

[@cherlaneharris100]

Great Shopping Hall. You scored some really good deals. I'll have to remember to shop the International or Mexican (specialty) aisles for deals. Thanks for sharing.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

You can find bigger bags of spices for less

[@lynnegeddes7532]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 thank you, so much, prices are crazy here in Spain just now, you got some really good bargains well done 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

That's a pity, Spain used to be cheaper than france

[@Mirth-l7l]

Fish, olive oil and meat is over the roof in Spain. And fruit has almost double its price.

[@deborahoakey3560]

In Canada and I did a gasp....just by myself and trying to budget at 200 canadian for each month. I'm fortunate enough to have a sister that's always making soups❤😊

[@maireadtono5132]

Really enjoyed this video I live in Ireland and food can be expensive here but I think that some food items are cheaper here.❤

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Good to hear that

[@HereWithJesus]

The prices in France (on sale) aren't too far off what I'm paying here in the US! I just finished our big winter stock-up. Now I'm backing down to shopping twice a month (less if I can get away with it!) and eating out of our pantry & freezer for the winter!

[@chasz-gc8cl]

Ye good❤

[@tinanolan1485]

What a great video - content, as always, first class but very much enjoyed delivery. You guys together are a hoot - well done.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lorelei9393]

Your produce is always so pretty. Supermarkets here dont have have the same quality. But chicken is usually a cheap meat. I used to put in food processor and grind to use half and half with ground beef to offset the cost. Now i just use half as much in chili or spaghetti sauce and add more beans or vegetables. Ethnic aisles here also have some great deals on spices. The packaging is minimal and not name brand so no advertising costs. Thx for sharing your haul

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks for watching

[@rose-g3l]

Great monthly French shopping !

[@Susie-Mary]

Thanks for sharing the haul and conversions. It’s interesting to see what your costs are compared to other areas of the world. I live in Minnesota in USA. The prices are very similar but ur veg tends to be less expensive.

[@pattimorgan9795]

I think you got great bargains! Well done! Have a great weekend ❣️😊

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks so much

[@mkinder9557]

Great shopping haul! I also do a larger shopping run once a month and then “fill in” later on. However I rarely find meat on clearance like you do. We have sales on it of course and I try to get good bargains then. As one of your subscribers said, I was a bit jealous of the meat prices. 😂 Thanks so much - I find the difference between France and US interesting.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks for your feedback

[@carolinehayes3212]

[@ireneferrante2313]

You did great !!!!

[@Larissa-iw5wy]

I love shopping videos too 😊 I think your deals were fabulous! I think your meat/proteins prices are fabulous…and the conversion chart at the end was interesting. If we bought the same things here we’d probably be paying closer to $350+ canadian. Thanks for sharing

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Oh no

[@Cheryl-gu1hv]

Another great shopping haul. My husband and I had ours 2 days ago. Did pretty well ourselves. Have a wonderful weekend. Jane, Mike, Dolly, and Mary.😊

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thank you! You too!

[@georgettedashiell7682]

That salmon was lovely looking!

[@lindajacquot5391]

Your meat prices are so much more reasonable than ours in the U.S.. Great haul - a lot of work, but the savings are well worth it. Woofs to the lovely ladies! ❤️🐾❤️🐾

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

They're affordable if I can get the reduced meat and freeze it

[@cgoinsmajor]

New subbie here! Great job on your deals!

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks for subbing!

[@SharonMcGee-b2i]

Good job!

[@kathywolfe6606]

Loved the video! The only thing i saw that was expensive to me was the butter. I live in the Southern U.S. and i would love the meat and veggie prices that are available to you.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@bevbond6152]

Crikey! You did so well! The veg in particular looked super. Lovely fish too. You really inspire me to try harder. They say inflation is down in uk, but in real terms food is still going up. I get a shock every time I go shopping.😒 So concerned at what the budget is going to do. They have taken our fuel allowance away. We grow a lot of food, burn wood, we feel very lucky compared to some others, but it’s not easy. Thanks for your lovely videos !

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Thanks for watching

Love the waffle 😂 Thank you for taking us on the shopping trip. Very interesting😊 In Australia yellow stickers and markdowns are becoming few and far between. Sparkling mineral water 💧 in WA is $1.10 per bottle, so yours is a lot cheaper and prices are steadily increasing. Overall French 🇫🇷 prices are lower Thank you Jane and Mike for a great video 👍🇦🇺

Never in my life, I'm 68 have I seen squid in any grocery store in my area. I'm land locked in the middle of the US. I have eaten it several times and loved it. Would love to see you cook it.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Sorry to hear that

[@preppernut]

Great prices, especially the meat and vegetables. We are pretty well stocked up now, so the next big haul will be put off as long as possible. I'd like to get a big turkey when they are cheap (just before Christmas), and get a few jars of that into my pantry.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Sounds great!

[@sherrylewis9327]

OMGosh, I checked the Walmart price of the Heinz Baked Beans (listed as "an iconic UK snack food" LOL) and apparently, this particular can is imported here for a whopping $6.39!! I'm in Nebraska in USA and the product isn't available in-store so has to be shipped (in only 3 days though, LOL).
