Always meal plan one week out. Works best for us and my budget. Also hubby likes helping with choices and he will go grocery shop with me. For that I’m thankful.

[@carmarasmussen8118]

There is something so satisfying about cleaning and organizing a fridge. Love it when the shelves are clean and shiny! 😉

[@BrendaJBarNett]

I not only do applesauce in the crockpot, but also add more spices and keep cooking (took 12 hrs for my last batch) and you have homemade apple butter. I had bought some super discounted applesauce on clearance fir my last batch.

[@lisaberg9241]

Store your cilantro in a jar with water, cover loosely with a plastic bag (I put an elastic band around it over the jar) this helps the leaves from drying out. It will last 10 days or more this way!! I find leaving it in a bag in the veggie drawer it goes slimy fast...or gets lost...or both!! :)

[@bettywurm306]

I menu plan for a month at a time. Dinners only. I make sure to have plenty of eggs, cereal and so forth for breakfasts, and sandwich things for lunches. I’ll look at my calendar and assign a meal for each day depending on our activities for that day. I use what I have and shop when I need.

[@wifemomlife5606]

I'm so glad your parents are okay. I love your relationship with your mother. ❤ It inspires me to foster one with my daughter like that.

[@loriweaver5776]

I can applesauce every Fall. I use a variety of apples. We love apples in our house and I always mix up the variety. There is nothing better than going to my food storage and grabbing a jar of applesauce and cracking it open. Thanks for another great video.

[@shelliecummins5972]

Best way to make applesauce. I made it that way from our trees and canned it last fall

[@JulesSavesOnGroceries2848]

On the last Saturday of every month I take inventory of everything in my fridge, freezer, and pantry. I make a list of all the recipes I can make from those ingredients and then each week I pick four or five meals from the list to cook. Our grocery budget is $600 a month for five people and three cats. I shop Costco once a month ($100), do Walmart pick up twice a month, and shop Kroger every week to stock up on the sales.

[@justicedaicy]

I appreciate you sharing that your monthly budget is $600 per month. I have five people in the family also, and four dogs, and find $600 is our average also. Even with careful planning and budgeting, to get what is needed, the total still ends up somewhere around $600 for the month. Mostly, that is spent shopping the weekly sale items at Kroger and Safeway. With prices rising, I'm hoping to still stay at that amount by planning well and rotating through what we already have. I'm located in central Arizona... prices are jumping.

[@brroookkeee]

Such a good plan! I do Costco $100 a month also and it’s usually more paper goods and stuff than food so I don’t include that $100 in my “grocery budget.” Our budget for a family of 4 is $100 a week and works well :) I love meal planning and shopping on sale!

[@JulesSavesOnGroceries2848]

@@brroookkeee That’s great! I include all the household consumables in our grocery budget so I don’t have to do extra math or separate transactions.

[@Mamadriggs]

I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see a "REAL" refrigerator with condiments, sauces, varying sizes stuck where they can go.... seriously when I see some of these fridges where they have literally NO condiments I wonder if they're even human. LOL Everyone has a favorite dressing.... I use different dressigns for different things... we always have leftovers... they never have any of that in theirs.

[@kpercy9952]

LOL I never thought about it, but you're right!! All those Instagram & You tube fridges that look like a human doesn't live there. :) :)

Happy to hear your Mom and Dad are better. Eggplant sandwiches I'm going to look that up. Thanks for sharing Kimmy.

[@bonesbigfoot2654]

I have to giggle. I'm one of those people who have very little condiments. Ketchup, mustard, soy sauce, taco sauce, mayo, French dressing, Heinz 57 sauce. That's about it. I'm a very plain jane person. LOL

[@Mamadriggs]

@@bonesbigfoot2654 oh I know there are people who don’t... my in-laws and my dad might have three condiments tops! I’m talking about ... like the Pinterest ads or Container Store-ish ads for organizing your fridge and then everything fits perfectly and all the clothes are the same style in the same color family 2” apart from each other on the same hangers. Or the fridge that has zero leftovers... or the ones that take pictures of how it should look and it’s nothing but cokes and highly processed food ... but it’s organized so pretty. LOL sure it looks great but... so NOT! Lol

[@helenlecornu1651]

I might be guilty of having one of those 'unreal' fridges. I found that if I don't keep it organised and have a place for everything my food wastage is high - organised and clean most of the time means no food wastage (or very little) . I do have condiments though nicely organised - can't fathom storing mustard or tomato sauce (ketchup) in the fridge though - that's weird to me.

[@mandn821]

Glad to hear your parents are feeling better!!

[@heathermitchell-adams7669]

You can also use those apple peels to make apple jelly! Oh, and we enjoy using Mac's for our applesauce and don't bother with adding anything to it b/c we find they just don't need anything else.

[@opchick0597]

That bacon that already is cooked...it is really great, especially for when you need 2 or 3 strips crumbled for garnish or add in for a bit of smokey flavor.

[@lauratinkham9135]

I shop and meal plan weekly on a Sunday, we don’t have those wonderful, huge fridges in the uk! 😩 so we don’t have as much room to store meals. But I always shelf cook, so make a list of everything in my fridge, freezer and cupboards and meal plan with that, the. buy what I need - saves so much money and space! X

[@terricheney1724]

I learned from a 1931 Better Homes and Gardens magazines to plan meals twice a week. I plan out weekend meals and Monday and Tuesday and then I plan again using leftovers to make other meals. Our budget runs about $350 for two, two dogs/1cat, personal care items and cleaning supplies. That also nets us items for our longer term storage.

[@Gidget13mwa]

How did I miss that your parents had been sick? I’m sorry and hope they are doing better! Your mom sounded great! That’s so sweet you have them! Great video as always!❤️👍

[@ashleychavez2165]

I am starting to meal plan and i meal plan for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I look and see what i have first in the freezers and fridge and pantry and then i meal plan for the week but at the end of this week i might try to meal plan on saturday and plan. I usually shop on saturdays or sundays..depends and i am always stocking up on fruit and dairy and fresh veggies. I try to shop every 2 weeks.

[@karsn8382]

I have a general meal plan for 2 weeks, and then I just make whateve we feel like eating from that plan for that day. I also plan on eating out once a week and I plan on thawing at least one freezer meal per week on busy days and then on days when I cook- I make double and freeze an extra dinner for another day.

[@annmatthews3579]

I use home grown cooking apples for sauce, which we serve with roast pork/ turkey here in the uk

[@clairesteele7130]

I'm a weekly meal planner. I cant go further than that at a time. I find it so beneficial to my budget to plan

[@Sandrashideaway]

Glad your parents are better! 💗 👩‍🍳I used to meal plan like this for years too. But then I decided to mix it up: with having a prepper pantry, a basic pantry, & 2 freeezers that's always stocked with any canned/dry goods, meats/cheeses we would ever need to make for the meals we like so I just cook out of the pantry. I can make many different kinds of meals this way & saves a lot of money. I just stock up a bunch on these items when they're on sale to keep my stock going. 😀

[@dancieteague6854]

I plan 3 to 4 recipes a week. There is only 4 of us and always left overs. Today made sure had everything for Lasague in the crockpot. Quesdeaia and sSpanish rice. Hot dogs and dip. Beef stir fry.

I menu plan for a week at a time. I’ve also started freezer meals from watching your channel. I like to get ahead of things. It makes my life a whole lot easier!

[@TeacherBudgets]

It depends on what is going on schedule wise. I’m in my last semester for my masters and student teaching. So if I know I’m going to be busy with assignment and/or activities with my son I know I need to plan ahead for a week or 2 but if I know I just have student teaching ans I’m out by 2:30 I don’t need to “plan” my meals. I have a mini big pantry like yours and I know I have items to make what I want that night

[@laurenmiller2410]

I take a blank calendar and just throw dinner ideas on it in no particular order. Towards the end of the month , around the 25th, I inventory my freezers pantry and fridge with that inventory I plan the week using the ideas I threw on the month. Do I follow it constantly ahh no. But I like having ideas down so that I’m not rushing at dinner time trying to figure out what we’re having

[@bradman1984]

"Beautiful Clark!" Best Christmas movie ever.

We are a family of 5. It is extremely difficult for me to do a lot of freezer meals as my youngest daughter has Celiac Disease. I also work for Instacart. I am glad to hear that you tipped as it is frustrating when customers do not tip, that is where we make our money as Instacart does not pay well. A lot of customers do not understand much much goes in to their order. We drive to the store shop checkout bag or box and drive to the customer's home and leave the groceries at their doorsteps. Love your videos!

Thank you Marsha. I’m sad to hear people don’t tip well. I pray tips get better! Thank you for all you do!

Point cut corned beef is fattier and flat is leaner. Sometimes I get one of each because the flat cut can be a little dry but we want more meat than the point cut but the point cut adds that delicious fat.

[@Dolly9261]

I've been buying the Rubbermaid Brilliance food storage containers. They go in the frige, freezer and microwave. But they keep my veggies fresh for SO much longer than anything else I've tried. I also redid my pantry with the ones for the pantry. I love that they're clear and I can see what I have. Sorry, didn't mean to sound like a commercial, lol.

[@MunchkinBraidy]

I generally meal plan for a whole month. Dinners for 5 days a week. A left over and a whatever meal(maybe leftovers again or takeout) I shop biweekly for dry and frozen goods and weekly for produce. I also keep an eye on my local ads to see if I can catch a deal

[@karentester931]

I menu plan weekly as that’s what suits us. I shop from my freezer, fridge and pantry first to see what meals I can make and go from there. Thanks for adding the prices to your grocery hauls. It’s interesting to see the prices of groceries from across the world opposed to here in Australia.

[@evaroberts2017]

Glad your parents are feeling better. I love talking to my mom and sister when cooking

[@MFarmer1234]

I meal plan and shop for a week at a time. I cook with a lot of fresh produce. I have found to use that produce at its peak, is to shop once a week... this week on the meal plan I’ve got these main entrees: chicken enchiladas, hamburger steaks with brown gravy, pulled pork, baked spaghetti, ranch seasoned roasted chicken, and a Cajun chicken Alfredo. Each meal will have about two fresh sides and maybe a bread with some.

[@fexo700]

Wow always in Awe of you Kimmy! The Applesauce looks so yummy! We love all your cook with me meals and it nice that others get to benefit from your delicious cooking. Always thinking of others!

[@busybakingmama2519]

From a teenage boy mom...if your boys like chili dogs pour some canned beanless chili in your crockpot and nestle a bunch of cheap hot dogs down in there, after everything is warmed through the hot dogs come out coated in a nice little layer of chili then of course they add more chili and toppings. Not healthy of course but a cheap and easy way to feed hungry boys!! We all know how teenage boys can take down some food when they are hungry!!

[@MyZoomdotcom]

chili is good food beans are high fiber and high protein..hot dogs are also high in protein.chicken and turkey dogs are the best.lower in fat and high in protein.,

[@julietannOsfan1972]

Well done on helping others with your food storage. That was really kind of you. x When I was a child my Mum worked, so my Dad cooked the tea. We would have the same things every week -Monday was leftover meat from Sunday’s dinner & chips, Tuesday was toad-in-the-hole, Wednesday was shepherd’s pie & what we called greasy gravy. (He didn’t always drain the fat but it was still lovely) The rest of the week we had liver & a couple of other things which I can’t remember anymore. Doing it this way may sound boring to some people, but it made it so much easier for my Dad. I’m really sorry to hear that your Mum & Dad have had COVID. I hope they are feeling better. x I had the vaccine last Thursday. Have your Mum & Dad had theirs yet?

[@carolrodenbeck2381]

I meal plan for two weeks. I always look in our freezer and pantry to see what we have, make the meal plan based on that, then make a grocery list for whatever other ingredients we will need to make the two weeks of recipes. We usually have to pick up some salad and bananas over the weekend in between but this two week menu and shopping list works so well. We always have what we need for recipes/meals. I also keep a well stocked pantry and freezer that we could rely on if we couldn't grocery shop. Thanks for your videos Kimmy. Take care!

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

I made the Asian Beef on Sunday. We loved it. I told my son that the leftovers would be used later in the week as "street tacos". He thought that would be great! That is a very good recipe and I will add that to our "meals for the month". I menu plan for the week. I have a list of "suggested meals" and we pick from them. I have it all in the house so I can have whatever we choose. That works for us.

[@Mom-pu8vt]

I have to cook everyday and sometimes it depends on what Hubby wants most times, I meal plan in the sense I make sure I have all ingredients etc. only. I have to cook for 3-4 families at times as extended families in different wings of our home. So, I leave the meals once prepared for each ( they all around various times after work) . Love many of your recipes so will definitely try them out soon as always looking for new ideas. Big thanks dear :)

[@Linda-sk9nt]

I make Apple sauce in the Fall. I grab either a bushel or half a bushel of apples that are seconds and the most inexpensive from the local farmers market. I just cut up the apples with skins on and fill up my crockpot. Add about a cup of water. I may add cinnamon and blend once cooled in the blender. Freeze in containers or small freezer bags. I like to use as a snack in the winter months or with pork or give to my dogs as a treat. If I give to my dogs i make sure it's pure apples only since I haven't looked into if dogs can have cinnamon.

[@Nins-niche67]

We Menu plan Weekly 6 of us here everyone chooses a dinner meal and then we have one night of leftovers. Works for us.

[@juliecarr1780]

I always buy the flat cut corned beef. Its a better cut of meat. I cook mine in the crockpot and when done take out and let it cool. Put in fridge overnight and the next day slice thin for sandwiches. I use beefsteak soft rye no seeds.

[@psymompa]

Glad your parents are feeling better. Love that you talk to your mom when you cook. Now that my mom has passed, I definitely miss our daily conversations. Enjoyed watching you prep the fridge for your haul. Amazed and impressed that you got it all to fit. As for meal planning, I have about 20 go to meals and every week, we pick about 5-6 we want for the week. This week we had guac and cheese tacos with a side of black beans, vegan mushroom stroganoff with a side of roasted veggies, breakfast for dinner (waffles, tofu scramble, veggie sausage and fruit), fettuccine alfredo with roasted veggies and will pick up Pterrys veggie burgers on Friday because of High School game night. We will then have a leftover night to clear out the fridge.

[@jilltool7133]

My menu plans change with the seasons. Like in the summer, I know I’m not cooking a lot inside, and our sides are summer salads rotated in that we can eat for a couple of meals. The only thing that I keep going in the summer is cucumbers and onions and the fam loves that!

[@donna8212]

[@Cronaghmol]

I leave the skin on my apples for apple sauce in the slow cooker and it turns out really smooth when I put in my emersion blender

[@COAFAMILY]

I plan 10 days of meals at a time. I put them each in a sticky note on my freezer door and pull them off as I make them. I’m not held to a day that way. 7 meals are things I buy fresh things for each wm week and 3 meals are strictly from my pantry or freezer. I grocery shop weekly and sometimes bi weekly depending on what the produce looks like when I go shopping. Have you looked at hp instant ink? Minimal cost a month and you never run out of cartridges. They always send them before you run out.

I don't really meal plan. I have a general idea each week. Just me and hubby. He's retired so it's pretty low key. I cook big a couple times per week and we eat all the leftovers. Other days just something from the freezer. No kids to feed anymore. I stock up on meat when it's on sale so I have lots in the stand up freezer. Veggies as well. Sometimes we might just eat pinto beans and cornbread. Nothing too fancy.

[@busybakingmama2519]

I change up my menu planning a lot too, right now I am doing once a month with a big Sams haul at the beginning of the month and weekly trips at the smaller stores. With my growing teenagers and a small daycare my weekly groceries are only lasting about 5 days lately so need to change things up I think! I like that you addressed your budget being larger because of your channel, I have a base family budget in my head but my daycare makes it larger too. I have struggled to try to do $100/per/month this past year, it worked for us a lot of years but not during this season I guess. Kids eating more plus higher grocery costs really add up!

[@janicemiller9006]

There are only two of us at home now so I only cook three times a week, Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. We have leftovers on Monday, Wednesday, and either Friday or Saturday(on the other day we sometimes eat out). I have a meal planner book from CarrieElle. I pencil in a menu plan for a month. The I will make my grocery list (after I shop my pantry) every week. There are sometimes when we will skip a day or so of cooking if we get an overload of leftovers but this plan works for us. It has saved on our grocery bill. If we have company come, I just cook every day. I usually have plenty of ingredients for meals in my pantry and freezer.

Hi Kimmy. Could you do a video on a example budget of $200? Including allowing for food storage. God Bless

Try making Mississippi Pork chops. I think, I actually like this version best. Glad to hear your parents are recovering. Prayers for you all.
