One Month of Budget-Friendly Grocery Hauls & Saving Tips: SHOP WITH ME

[@beckyhowe7166]

Thanks for teaching me how to start a pantry and how to keep track of prices. I have $161 food stamps for a month. I'm on a fixed income so knowing how to shop helps me stick to this budget.

[@jopiaspieder1184]

Use coupons both physical and digital coupons even at places that accept competitors coupons and your savings cards. Sometimes you save so well you get items for free.

[@johannaleverentz9141]

Thank you for all of the information you've shared through the years. These couple of years I've gotten my husband on board with creating an emergency kit & a food storage. We have a small food storage space right now, but we're freshening up a small bedroom (repainting, floors, etc.) & are going to move our storage into it. It's going to become our storage & food storage room. Yeah! I can't wait. We went shopping at the beginning of February & haven't needed to go back since. My husband just got paid & we only need to make a fill in haul. Feels great. I did a price comparison between our lowest store (Walmart) & Sam's. Sam's won. So we got most at Sam's. My husband was like what? I'd had to show him once or twice. With the research I've done in January & February we have saved oodles & we have meals that will go in through most of March. 😊 Again thanks for info. P.S. we're going to try your pesto chicken recipe.

[@Brea890]

I’m so jealous about that Smith’s store! We don’t have one near us in Idaho, just Costco, Walmart, and Winco. Those berries were such a good deal!

[@Aishaoaktree1122]

As a former extreme couponer I can't spend on full price. While how couponing has changed I still manage to make sure I get everything on sale. Right now target has a spend $50 get $15 gift card sale. So that's when I stock up on cleaning and household products. This sale usually comes back around right when my tissues finish. If you still struggle dollar general always has a sale on Saturdays to help cut the budget they always have coupons on the app.

[@lkhorvath4]

I want you to know that I watch you when I'm having a hard day and bring me so much joy.

[@NancyMoe]

Costco needs to sponsor your video! Yesterday, I was AT Costco to get gas but passed on going in because of the sea of cars and people. Your video is making me go back today to get some of your haul. Thanks, Kimmie!❤

[@citygal2198]

The best time to go is about 2:30 when school lets out. Or right before close.

[@Blopez383]

Kimmie thank you as always. I love the gentle reminders to be proactive. There are times i become lazy, yet i love a good bargain and to know i feel like i helped to save. Your channel is amazing!

[@margaretnewton6409]

Your new home is so nice. Congratulations! Yet in your new space I can see the APRONs 🙌I stopped using aprons when I moved to Massachusetts in my younger years. But, now I am retired and back into cooking, watching food videos and grocery hauls, I got me 3 aprons, intending to buy a few more. My budget is limited, therefore I shop for basics and bargains. Thank you very much for the food suggestions.

I enjoyed every single of your videos! I love that you tell us the review of products from the store it really helps me! Thanks.

4:00 Yes here in England, the packaging is different and there is a big gasp if you just chomp down on these!!😮...it's considered a waste and everyone l know gently cracks the shell and slowly let's the chocolate melt!!🥰🥰

[@danniemcdonald7675]

I'm the same way when I overhear conversations in the grocery store! A couple of weeks ago, I was in Walmart looking for some large canned shrimp (I'm beginning to think they don't make them) and there was a couple standing there. They were discussing the price of the Bumblebee chicken and tuna salad lunch kits and how expensive they had gotten. Well, she was discussing. He was putting them in the cart LOL Apparently he "needed" them for a snack at work,😢 as they were "healthier than something from the vending machine." I had to do it. I excused myself for interrupting, and told them that Dollar Tree, which is just next door, had the exact same thing for $1.25 (around $1.80 at Walmart). Even though it the Brookside name it is made and manufactured by Bumblebee. She told him to put them back and that they were going to DT when they got through. They both thanked me. I hope DT had stocked their shelves 😂

[@conniebrock]

I just did an account of what I spent at the grocery store for two for one month. Hold o to your hats…….$1528.97. This madness is going to stop now. I’m only budgeting $500.00 and shopping here at home. We have food stored up and less we need fresh vegetables we are eating at home.

[@conniebrock]

Thanks for your info. That’s what we need to do better. We do most of what you do but we just keep going to the store to buy more and not eat what we have, and that’s my fault. But I like the amount you spend, I’ll try for that goal. Thanks again.

[@conniebrock]

@@JoLynnDrake-mc6bb, wow, that’s awesome. I’m going to retire this August so I can make more things from scratch. In the meantime I’ll stock up and collect recipes for making things from scratch. Thanks for helping me.

[@lenahp5815]

I'm shocked at the price of food in US , or maybe your in an expensive area , I really don't know anything about how your grocery stores pricing works. I spend €600 a month , that's far four adults and child , that's all in .. cleaning, laundry, pet food, toiletries and of course food. I have learned so much over the years from you and the only tips that I would give anyone starting off is have freezer space, it's nota deal if it ends up in the bin , and watch your channel

[@LadyCinnamon312]

Oh my word!!!

[@ThingsAbove333]

Really good information! I agree, we _can_ still save money, even now. Also helpful is to known which meals in your families rotation are the most affordable...on the tight weeks, cook those 🎉🎉

[@planningfoodmoneywithmiche7868]

I agree we all need to be prepared. I just completed a pantry clean out so I am working on restocking. We get paid twice a month, my first goal is to have 2 weeks of food and household on hand for an emergency.

[@mspeedie52]

January was super for my budget, but February was a total bust. I am going to try to repeat my no spend January and shop my freezer, and pantry. I had some unexpected expenses in February. Since recently retiring, I finally know what money will be coming into my budget. By the way, I love your videos. I do also have a food storage. Living in Ontario, Canada we don't have the same stores as you do. I do shop Costco and Walmart.

[@AmbersJourney13]

For my household there are 3 and a dog. We spend about 800 a mo. I'm trying to get it down to 500. I do a big bulk at Sam's for the Month and then fill in from aldi thru the month or thing we don't need in bulk❤

[@BucketListHomestead]

I have had to switch to shopping the flyers and shop weekly. I hate it lol but we are saving money. But going weekly you can really see the prices increasing. I keep saying it has to get better right??? Also here in Ontario Canada we are no longer allowed to film in stores without asking for permission ahead of time and waiting for approval 🤦‍♀️

[@kellykellykellyNC0914]

WoW! Utah seems to have such cheaper prices and sales then in NC. NC is so expensive food wise and everything else. Love your new house! So happy and bright! How can it be March tomorrow?

Lol omg I been me a planner like u have. To keep track of my food that I have on my shelfs

[@danaa6283]

Very well said! I would also remind people to not overthink their meals. Some people think every meal needs to be 4 or 5 different things and a ton of work. Put some simple things in your weekly/monthly plan. You will thank yourself later:)

[@danniemcdonald7675]

I am working on organizing my food (and non-food) storage. My main problem is space. I have found that decluttering is helping a lot. How does one person accumulate so much stuff over the years? I swear, I have found things I don't remember buying (and at 72 my memory is still pretty good ... I think!) 😁 I am also getting storage space for my medical/first aid supplies, toiletries/hygiene items and cleaning supplies. I know it will take time, but I hope you will let us know how the biotin works (or doesn't work) on your hair. I took it orally for almost 2 years ... different brand ... with no results.

[@amandasnailtasticnails9657]

Couple weeks ago I missed out on the oatmeal deal since February it know for breakfast food month. One reason why I didn’t get on the deal is because I’ve not been consuming oatmeal like I used to.

[@chrishingson3064]

I'm pretty good at remembering my prices and where to buy what from and I can look them up on my phone if not but I understand certain people are paper people so that book is great but I would love to see a book where you can put the inventory from your pantry in it that would be amazing for me I wished I'd skilled enough to create one of my own but that's not the Lord's blessing to me

We are on a $25 a week budget and $150 & no more $200 stock up if needed a month. So far, I stuck to my guns. Today grocery haul cost me $20.35. Saved $32.03 at food lion. I had a $8 shop & earn form food lion and the $5 Dollar General Coupon. That food lion will accept. Following the same rules, It being Easter this month I'm going into Dollar General buying $4. of easter stuff to fix my Grandkids a basket each. The coupon on the end of the receipts. It like getting spend my $5 twice. I plan my menu for the week on what I have and what on sale.

Kimmy, groceries aren't really a problem. Amazon is. That's sa really good price on blueberries. I try to get blueberries, i have frozen shoulder, and blueberries is an anti-inflammatory food. I love Knorr, I get it from Amazon.

[@lindadobranetski6302]

Jimmie can you do a video on how to use the price book, I bought one and I am unsure how to use it. Thank you for this video.

[@wildshadowstar]

There are two main reasons I don’t buy most things in bulk. One is that I live alone, so most of the fresher items would go to waste (or I don’t have the room to store things). Second is that the nearest Sam’s Club or Costco is over an hour and a half drive away, so going to those places isn’t very convenient.

[@erynbethrinehart4506]

Thanks Kimmy for another great video! I always look forward to your posts!

[@BarbFichman]

Do you think frozen fruits on sale are better value and they don’t spoil ? Just wondering…..

[@chelinfusco6403]

I have a question regarding Sam's Club & Costco. Both require a yearly membership; how does that affect the grocery hall price? I mean, do you get your money's worth from the annual membership? (sorry, that was an extra question). I enjoy how you shop and it blows my mind the energy you put in doing this which is inspiring and addictive. One thing I will say about being prepared or having at least a month's worth of food in your pantry. Un expected emergencies, events that will catch you out of the blue, that is also a reason to have at least a month's worth of food. Thanks for the video, I just love it all. *Hugs*

[@citygal2198]

I have both and find different things at both. Sam’s mainly for business as they seem to have more things for that, such as cleaning supplies, janitorial, snacks for vending machines. Costco business has it but there is only one in DFW area and now where close to us. Costco has larger selection of healthier, organic things. Household goodies , such as plates, pots pans, differ between them. The membership pays us back in gas alone. I did price comparison last month between Walmart, Costco, Kroger, Aldi. We tend to go organic when possible. So compared organic flour to organic flour. Winner was Costco. Kroger was most expensive followed by Aldi. Sam’s didn’t have a lot of organic. Hope this helps.

[@chelinfusco6403]

Thank you. We try for the most part to go organic. We grow most of our vegies.

[@chelinfusco6403]

@JoLynnDrake-mc6bb We try to grow most of our vegies. I enjoy canning, but I'm finding that having something ready from the freezer is pretty good too. We also have food allergies, so that can be expensive too. Where are you located? The price for onions and potatoes are pretty good. I'm in South Carolina. We live in the country and town is a good 40 minute drive one way. We also have to be aware of gasoline. Now, this grocery haul, was it from Costco? Is this for a month or every other week?

[@DonalldArmentor]

I think of the $60/year cosco membership as $5 per month. I can save at least that much per trip plus the cost of the gas for the 40 mile round trip. Just one large rotisserie chicken makes the trip worth the drive. I am very much a frugal pinch penny shopper. Not everything is a deal, so I scan the whole store, and use my phone's calculator to determine if the bulk price is actually a good deal.

[@michellesunshinestar]

We're reading Genesis in the women's ministry right now. Like two nights ago at like 5 am in the morning, the tornado sirens went off. My phone woke me up though. It's a Southern Thing did a skit where the weather person was telling the two Southerners to not go outside when they hear the sirens.

[@lindabader-acosta7808]

I haven’t done any real grocery shopping with the exception of milk, cheese & coffee. I’ve been doing a kitchen clean out for the last 2 yrs.

[@jessann5581]

Last year we spent $10,500 (Aussie) on groceries. Inflation really hit us hard. The sad the thing there was nothing to show for it. I tried to get the sales and stocked up, but with woolies and coles price gauging, the sale price were the original price. Ideally we were not saving a cent just spending more even though it was on “special” or clearance. I’m not spending that this year. Nope. I will be doing a huge stock up now we are March. (Australia, it’s Friday the 1st of March). Once my kids are off to school this morning and the baby is back to sleep, I’m revamping my menu and I’m going full force.
