I Restrained Myself! ONCE-A-MONTH Large Family Grocery Haul!

[@Layla-ir3sl]

I definitely think organizing what you have will be valuable! I get overwhelmed thinking of the quantity of food you store on a regular day so if you’re overwhelmed, it’s definitely time to take a moment. But man, those are good deals. You’re so amazing at it!

[@barbarahudson4727]

Janice, I am always so very impressed with the amount of work and research that you put into getting the best grocery deals and saving money! I would love to see a video on how you do your research before you go to the grocery store. I know you have to do a lot of price comparisons. Also, I am also so impressed with Sarah, she is such a talented young woman. I wish I lived close to you because I would love to learn how to can. Isn't that funny, I'm 62 years old and I want a 17 year old to teach me how to can! I wish i had paid more attention to how my mother canned but she is no longer with me. Anyway, I love watching you. You are such an inspiration to me!

[@Macpac5]

Dollar General puts canned pumpkin on sale for .25 each when they do the Christmas quarter sale around February. Most people don’t realize the pumpkin is part of the clearance so I go and stock up.

[@MaryStevens-tb2dz]

Glad be one of the person here. I love your family and enjoy watching you save money and still feed your family good healthy meals. God bless.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

I'm very grateful to have you here, Mary! Thank you for supporting our family! :)

[@doloreswilson6698]

Awesome savings

[@AmyMcknight-s6n]

I am glad your freeze dryer is working now, hopefully it runs great and gives you no more issues

I vacuum seal all my Avocados 🥑 from my tree, sprinkle lemon and deep freeze, have avocado year round

[@sharlafalkner1442]

You feed your family excellent. Your children are such a great help from the oldest too the three year old. Your family is marvelous.

[@grandmashomemade9204]

It's really smart to keep on with your grocery. Always good to have extra on hand.

[@BeckyCreger-vs5ce]

I really like all of your videos. I shop like you do by doing comparison shopping by going through the ads. We have 2 other local stores besides Walmart. I also go through my pantry and cupboards to see what I'm low on plus, what do I need to stock up on for the winter. I live in North Central Iowa and winters here can be super cold and at times, lots of snow. I don't like going out in the winter unless I have to. I do just once a month shopping. As I've said before, I'm 71 years old and am retired. I am living on my Social Security and it's a low amount. I'm on a very limited income. Thank our awesome Lord, I make enough for my bills; which I pay first. Then I do my grocery shopping. I've been super blessed because my freezers are full and right now I'm able to stock up for winter in case there's a month or so that I don't get out. I think everyone should do comparison shopping. I also was going to Sam's Club every month this summer and I was buying in bulk and using my seal-a-meal to break down my food the way I needed it. I like to make big batches of things like spaghetti, chili, goulash, and my homemade hamburger helper. I think these almost taste better the next day anyway. I grew up eating leftovers and I still like to.

Have the kids count the avacodos, to see if the managers guess was right on the number. Inquiring minds want to know. Hope the freezing drying works out. Sounds yummy.

[@jackieburnett6881]

So enjoyed the video!! You are amazing with your budgeting! You are really my top videos! I am glad your dehydrator is fixed! I know you are happy about this! I am really amazed how Sarah does all that she does! She’s so knowledgeable! All of your children work and do their share of chores according to their capability!! Would like for you to do some more videos with making your seasonings! Sarah please do a video on herbs! I’m trying to learn perennial etc. you are a wealth of information!!

[@helenatkinson4730]

Awesome deals as always! Great job avoiding those tempting items to stay within your budget. I was at ALDI this morning and thought of you. I just happened to look over as I was passing the butter - I did not notice it in our ad here hyphen and it was $1.99 per pound! I only bought 3 lb as I live alone and already had several pounds but, as Janice always says - that's a stock up price. I was sure hoping that you had that good deal where you are. It was not advertised or even marked as a special price on the Shelf tag. There was a limit of six.

[@lindapeterson7166]

Good Afternoon Janice,awesome on the amount you saved.WOW

[@soniab.estacio3008]

Thank you ❤I subscribe . I am watching from Chicago

I got excited when I saw the eggs you posted and thought maybe I missed it but no it is not in the ad. Glad for you. So happy your freeze dryer is working have fun.

Thanks Janice I got Land of Lake butter for $3.33 # limit of 5 today!!! Love watching your videos I don't have the same stores but follow along!!

Yay Georgia! I'm so glad you got a good deal! I hope you have a lovely, restful weekend! :)

[@patriciaflaherty5029]

I hope dehydrating avocados/guacamole works. Here's what I know from living in an area of SoCal that grows citrus and avocados commercially. Local grower reminded us we need to rely on avocados from Mexico and Chile during the months CA trees aren't ready for harvesting (nothing new). I'm sure you're aware prices will rise with the upcoming tariffs on foreign goods being passed to consumers so stocking up on avos and dehydrating now is a great idea and will pay off in the future..

[@karenfrankland7763]

I love how you break down all the store prices for the cheapest options. I've noticed that most stores put the regular granular sugar on sale but never the Cane Sugar which is all I buy. My go to store is Aldi. I love all the organic options and I can get grass fed meats and butter. We grow a huge backyard garden and I'm still canning a lot of what we grew.

[@iphigeniakatsaridou9059]

Good evening Janice!

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

I hope you've had an awesome Friday, Iphigenia! It's still technically morning over here though (11:23am). I hope you know just how very much joy it brings our family to know that people like you are watching us from all over the world! :)

[@shelbylynnwilliams8520]

Dollar Tree has cans of pumpkin purée at 2 for $1.25, 62 cents each. I was able to buy the 100 count box of green tea bags. Even though I don’t have a freeze drier I am excited to see your end results of the avocados.

[@98849]

My father in law announced that the homemade cake would be special as Granny had used two boxes - now I had always had homemade cake made by my mother who would not have won prizes but she preserved - alas, I never knew about cake mixes!

Cut the grapes in half to freeze dry them and they make a good snack! I got a really good deal on them once and that prolongs them.

[@lindafike8321]

Look forward to your videos

[@vitsteele-lz2hn]

Let’s see the deals you got today

[@deeengstrom2055]

I always get nervous when you leave your ice cream on the table for so long. LOL I just have visions of it being soup!😁

[@donnatapper1923]

You should freeze dry grapes. It’s unreal how good they are. The only thing you need to par boil them for 3 minutes first. They are like candy. At the price grapes are for you that would be a great deal. Have a blessed day! Donna Tapper Raleigh, NC.

[@chandraachtenberg3123]

Fabulous video as always. I watch Mrs. Cog Hill Farms and she freeze dried grapes and they said they are better than fresh for snacking they are like candy. Also I can onions in beef broth (French onion soup) while you can get them so cheap. It is a great starter for crock pot roast or chicken. Makes great egg noodle casserole and stew starter. Much love from Texas for my favorite channel.

[@Jverburgh]

Ooops, thanks for sharing.

[@maryhekker4166]

My sweetest Janice,you’re an excellent speaker for all these sales because otherwise a lot of people would be making the mistake of shopping a Wally-World. My son enjoys listening to you give him a shopping lesson, although he’d still like to clone you to then help him get the best deals from our stores: Aldi, Meijer, Leppinks, and Walmart. Wish we had a Kroger, but Meijer sort of ran them out of west Michigan. ❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🧠🧠🧠🧠💵💵💵

[@erinnola-raised6543]

I look forward to Your videos & appreciate the time taken to share with Us! Louisiana is Home to 2 of the largest ‘bean companies’, Camellia & Blue Runner so always in my stockpile

[@kellyhale2778]

I found about a year ago that they didn't have dried kidney beans or dried great northern beans. And when you found them you could only get 1 lb. bags and the price was up. So I bought like 25 lb. bags of both these beans from Azure. I so look forward to your videos.

[@MaureenSerighelli-xq7cj]

Don’t get rid of your overstock. You’re doing great. It is a crazy world out there not to mention weather extremes. Any of those could increase prices.

[@susanwilliams1881]

Our Kroger doesn’t have the reopening sale no remodeling finshed and I love see the Kroger sale with you

I think that I have never been to a Kroger as I live in the UK. It’s just a quick trip over the pond (Atlantic ocean). Have you done strawberries and ice cream etc. - it’s so good too. Great treat for the weekend

[@sharonwinn3556]

I have freeze dried guacamole and it reconstitutes great. Love my freeze dryer. Sorry you have had so many problems. Hopefully it’s smooth sailing from here on out.

I'm hopeful too, Sharon! I finished up the last of the garden's yellow squash yesterday and today I'll put in my last batch of scrambled eggs for this year. :)

I have bought dried kidney ran recently, the dark ones. I had a bunch of lentils and split peas but the mice came in and ate every last bag,they have been terrible this year! I have never eaten lentils before but am going to try them. I’m making unstuffed cabbage soup today,it is simmering on the stove now.We don’t have 10 box or Kroger here in Ny, so I do Sams, Walmart and Aldi. God bless you all WFS!!!!

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Sorry to hear about the mice, Shirley! I know it's super frustrating to lose food that you've put away.

[@shirleyharvey3728]

@ yes it is but slowly getting rid of them. I have bought containers for all that stuff so I don’t lose any more.Its just me and my husband but I started stockpiling in 2020,so we have quite a bit but there always seems to be more to get..

[@karensullivan9125]

Dollar general bleach is the best price when they have it. Get the gallon on the dollar aisle. I always buy a case of six when they have it.

[@pamelaclayton-vg9me]

I have seem people shred potatoes and freeze dried for hash browns

[@MSLAGIRL]

My Dollar Tree has some really good full size candy bars. I like the chocolate ones with caramel. The selection is minimal but you may find something you all like for the $1.25.

[@pennyyager6123]

Have you thought of looking for the dry kidney beans at Dollar Tree? Maybe freeze dry your own shredded or diced potatoes since you got the great deal on the potatoes.

[@Momo-SixTimes]

Hi Janice! Love your grocrey videos because I often watch them and you tell me what's on sale...then I shop. As an FYI, I don't know how the price compares, but Azure Standard does have dried kidney beans.

We need a 10Box store here. Good deals! We do have Aldi here but no Kroger either. I’m finding Walmart is higher priced on several things. I buy most all my fruit and vegetables at Aldi. It stays fresh longer. Walmart fruits go bad to quickly. With my husband heart issues and my high blood sugar issues. I do cook healthy for us. I’ve always shopped for bargains too. But I noticed grocery stores here don’t mark sales in the stores.and I’m only cooking for 2 people.
