SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT FRUGAL LIVING! YOU CAN SPEND MONEY & STILL LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS!

[@charmingintrovert3240]

How many of us wish that we were your real life friends that were invited over for dinner? Love your channel! Emmy and Paul!❤🎄❤

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

What an amazing and kind compliment! Believe me, if it was feasible we WOULD have you all over for dinner!!

[@cynthia57169]

🙋🏼‍♀️me! I’d do dinner and sobremesa with Paul & Emmy!

[@Janet-l2h]

My grandmother always put a coin in a gift purse for luck, a lucky purse always has enough money in it for your needs. Great finds Paul. Beautiful sunrise!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Lovely! Thanks for sharing that, Janet!

[@sherrylewis9327]

I was just going to say that. A penny in a gift wallet too.

[@Coetta]

I bought a nice wallet at GW and it had a coin in it forget if was a penny or dime. I buy a lot of new things there.

[@tamera621]

46 years ago I married into an Italian family. I knew very little about cooking but thanks to my mother in law, I learned how to make the best Italian food ever. So, we can’t go to Italian restaurants or get Italian takeout because I make the best ………thanks to my mother in law❤️❤️❤️

[@crystalroberts4167]

Hello Emmy and Paul, great video! Paul is a great shopper. 👍🏾👍🏾 I am definitely going to try the Italian Sausage in the crockpot. It looks delicious. ❤❤

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Tamera, that is so wonderful!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Crystal, I think you will love it!

[@karendixon7123]

Paul is such a great shopper! I love everything he chose for Emmy! The sunrise was breathtaking! God sends us beautiful gifts!!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Indeed He does!

[@katherineallen2577]

I think Paul missed his calling as a purse salesman. The first thing I look for when shopping for a new hand bag is the amount of hiding spots 😂 that was awesome!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

I totally agree! He did well!

[@kerryjames6312]

I hope you know Emmy and Paul how much we appreciate you❤

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Kerry, that is so very kind of you to say. Thank you!

[@jeannet9592]

I loved Paul’s commentary about the gifts he found for Emmy. Funny and sweet.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Thanks so much, Jeanne!

[@lindacgrace2973]

Fried chicken with mashed potatoes, biscuits, gravy and I substitute green beans for the usual Cole slaw. Trust me, my chicken is w-a-a-y better than the Colonel's. I flash fry it to crisp everything up, then cook it low and slow in the oven while I finish all the sides. Nobody complains about home-fried chicken!

[@Nic-du6xe]

Sounds delicious I always struggle with the coating.any tips?

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Lind, I adore fried chicken! One of my absolute favorites!

[@Forfrodo-m4m]

Great bag. I love lots of pockets in a purse or handbag. In Scotland we always put a coin in a purse we are giving as a present. Its a wish / talisman that your purse will never be empty. Beautiful sunrise.

[@tawnaparko3388]

I grew up with the tradition of putting a coin in a purse for luck. I am not sure of my heritage because my family is from a PA Dutch area but many of our traditions are English.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Love that! Thanks!

[@kerryjames6312]

On hot days I pack my lunch snacks drinks and spend day in the library free airconditiinning

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Sounds like a delightful day, Kerry!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

That is so kind of you to say! Thank you!

[@carolynb2457]

Missed most of the live so needed to watch the whole video. Paul did great- so funny that he knows what women like- lots of compartments in a purse! All the items he found were so useful but high quality. Perfect Emmy gifts!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

So kind of you to watch the whole video, Carolyn! Thank you!

[@judymc4213]

I got my son a Kitchenaid Mixer as his was dying. I got it off of Facebook Marketplace for $225 and it has been used twice and is like brand new. It's his Christmas present! I make a creamy tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich at home. Last night I made my own alfredo sauce vs buying the jarred stuff. It was delicious!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

What a brilliant gift! He will love it!

[@barbchumbley9142]

We gutted our main bathroom and scored big savings. We bought our walk in shower system that was a display unit at 50% off. I found 10 brand new expensive boxes of laminate flooring for $10 per box from $62. The contractor had them left from another job and put them on Facebook market place. There was enough flooring for the bathroom, hallway, kitchen and front entry, for $150. By saving on these items we started the funds for the next project. Living below our means and having savings makes it easier to take advantage of great deals to have nice things for less.💰

[@d.parisi]

Im not trying too toot my own horn but there are a lot of Italian American dishes I can make that taste better than most restaurants. I know a Mexican lady who made the best enchiladas ever...I know a Vietnamese lady who made the best spring rolls I ever had. I think if you are a good cook you should stay home and cook otherwise you are going to be dissatisfied lol just make sure some else does the dishes! 😉

[@katherinetyrrell8810]

I totally agree ❤

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

D! You are right! Love the part about the dishes lol!

[@pamelagrove7028]

This Thanksgiving we are serving 11 people to a 7 course meal with every course “plated”. I made sure portions are good, and it cost less, because we control the portions!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

That is awesome! Sounds so lovely!

[@ll8621]

We make our own sweet rolls, muffins, sourdough bagels. Simple little seasoned croutons; always bought bagged croutons but never again. Had a meal with friends and made baked French onion soup; they said it was better than any they had at a restaurant. That warms your heart when there is joy in a meal or things you have baked. Thanks for all the joy that you bring us with your channel. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Such a kind comment! Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

[@fahinahigby1152]

I live in the southwest and Mexican food is one of our favorites. I make Mexican food from scratch at home a lot. Homemade refried beans, Spanish rice, green chili burritos, tacos etc… My grandmother who was Italian, died when I was newly married and never really learned how to cook really good Italian recipes… I wish I could’ve learned from her. I love watching your videos especially when you make authentic Italian recipes! ❤ yum! 😋

[@CookingwithDesi]

Great video Emmy & Paul! Loved the sunrise. The gifts Paul picked out were great. Great challenge idea! Great idea with the sausage & peppers. My favorites to cook at home is my steak recipe, penne a la vodka and wings in the air fryer and eggplant parmigiana.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

I love eggplant parmigiana, Paul not so much lol. I don't get it often...

[@karennicholson7753]

A “take out” meal that I like to make is fried rice. Whenever I have cooked rice for another meal, I will use the leftover rice in the next day or so to make fried rice. I use whatever veggies are on hand at the time, as well as protein, so this meal is never the same thing twice. Thanks for your encouragement and all you do.😊

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

You are so welcome, Karen! Thanks for watching!

[@MichelleL22]

Paul did well! My family has the tradition that you never give a wallet or purse without a coin in it! I have no idea if it is a family tradition or a tradition based on heritage. My carrots were recalled so I will have to go back to the store and I try to avoid the week before thanksgiving. I am feeling very much like I want a quiet, no frills Christmas. I don’t think I’m going to put out most of my decor, my tree is already up. Thank you for the wonderful video! ❤

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Yes, we kept decorations simple this year too. So much calmer.

[@FrugalHappyVegan]

Oh my heart - I adore this video!! Have a blessed Thanksgiving, everyone.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Thank you! You too!

[@cedarcottagefarm2885]

Another great episode. Paul did an awesome job shopping for you. I think my pizza is better than most purchased pizzas except Casey’s breakfast pizza. Poor crop seasons in West Africa caused by weather changes caused the price increase in chocolate. I stocked up on baking cocoa and some chocolate chips prior to the increase in price. Hurricane Irene wiped out a lot of the pecan trees in North Carolina. It also did a lot of damage to the peanut farms.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Yes, so many weather related price increases!

[@Jettsmom98]

Great finds Paul. Love the little purse. I've been stocking my pantry and freezer over the past month with all the loss leaders. It's so nice to walk out of the store with a cart FULL of food for $65. You are such an inspiration.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

That is awesome! So happy our videos are helpful!

[@ruthtaylor7863]

I always heard never to give a wallet/purse empty...put some amount of money in it. Maybe that's why there is a penny!

[@SusanSnyder-le1jy]

The children gave us a wallet last Christmas filled with gift cards to favorite restaurants . we retired and its great to go out for breakfast or lunch on the days we run errands or go to the market.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

I think your right, Ruth!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Susan, I love that idea! Brilliant!

[@patbethea111]

I just wanted to tell you that I went to the library the other day and they had free books. I got two cookbooks. Simple recipes and I have much of the spices and meats I already have. I was so excited 🤗. Thought of you 💞

[@ruthtaylor7863]

Olive Garden chicken gnocchi soup is our favorite restaurant dish made at home. It is even better at home....I think sometimes the restaurant waters it down and/or skimpy on the chicken and gnocchi. Always filling at home. We use it as the main dish.

[@jewelgaither1504]

Recipe, please!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Love that soup!

It looks like someone received that purse as a gift and never used it. It my family, whenever you give a purse or wallet, you put a penny in it for good luck! Didn’t know you can freeze nuts.

You guys are so great at getting each other gifts that you know will like Emmy. Lately my husband has been loving my homemade chili that I make with cooked hamburger frozen from the freezer and a few simple additions. Don't have the heart to admit to him in doctored up goods. He keeps telling me save that recipe.

[@deidrekelly2338]

Hi Emmy we make "Chipotle " style bowls that are way better. Crock pot shredded pork.and then season Mexican style. ( canned Chipotle peppers in sauce are sold in little cans)) Rice and beans, layered with romaine lettuce, salsa, lots of fresh cilantro, and shredded cheese. Totally yum and super cheap

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Sounds so good!

[@tennbee679]

I really liked that little purse with all the pockets that Paul bought. Love a good sale and this week Publix had so many items buy-one-get-one that we use.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

That's so great!

[@canadianjaneoriginal]

Wow you guys are amazing. The 2 hauls are both amazing! Those carrots are from here Quebec where I live! for once we are eating the same produce😊 Our carrots are safe right now. The only recalls come from imported produce usually. I cannot believe your Mutti prices!! they are $7 a can here. All I get is the Passata from Mutti at $4 on sale! I would have stocked up too! WOW. Nuts are way too expensive here. The days you bring nuts to your relatives for the holidays are long gone. That recipe rocks! I usually make it all separately never put the sausage into the buns like that. But I will do this next time oh yess! I tend to make the sauce with sausages, with pasta, and garlic bread on the side. Very clever yummmm!! I know I make better hamburgers with buns, pizza, or pulled pork with scratch buns than a restaurant. I also make a better pad thai. Any pasta dish, any grilled cheese with tomato soup, any stuffed roulade type meat. And beef stroganoff. And complete breakfast. I also do coquille st Jacques and vol au vents better. These save me a lot of money at home. Especially when it comes to baking. My pumpkin pie or apple pie is always better than store bought. For the burgers, whether I make them with a red meat, tuna or vegetarian like zucchini burgers, they are way better than any fast food. I use no sodium so I will use any other flavouring I can like caramelized onions and garlic to substitute for salt. A touch of bree or a special sauce you make for your burger makes them also superior. Especially if I make the buns from scratch ( any bread I do add salt though and butter), you can’t beat or compare a restaurant burger to a homemade grilled or broiled burger. It just takes planning ahead and starting the buns early in the am so they rise twice, in time. Pulled pork is low and slow. As is the Beef Stroganoff. All things that a restaurant would rush through are better made at home. Shepherd’s pie as well. So many. I have yet to try recreating special dishes at home better than I have had like lobster bisque, moussaka, egg rolls, middle eastern dishes. Spinach artichoke dip (a steakhouse still makes it better), Garlic shrimp are better at a steakhouse as well. There are things that will be better at a restaurant like crispy pressure cooked fried chicken. The appliance makes it superior. And poutine. Restaurants get the good curds in bulk made for them so its hard to beat a good poutine from a family owned restaurant.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

No lie! After reading your comment I was starving! Every dish you mentioned sounded so good! Really creative ideas too. I have never tasted poutine but have always wanted too. I adore cheese curds. Thanks for taking the time to share, Jane!

[@canadianjaneoriginal]

@ lol! but you made this wonderful sausage pasta roll meal and it snowballed from there. Please try it one day its worth making poutine. The best fries are usually those greasy homefries that are soggy, sweet not crisp, drowned in a gravy u like and even mozzarella will do if u cannot get curds. Curds are really expensive even here. I use mozzarella to substitute.

[@erinnola-raised6543]

Mmmm, favorite restaurant inspired meal? Seeing as We might dine at restaurant 1x a year I’m inspired to Cook as if touring The World! Turkish Lamb Kafta kabobs in lavash bread, Indian Saag Paneer, Chinese MooShu Pork, Caribbean Jerk Chicken…on & on. All Our ‘Favorites’, though most likely recipes that showcase Our Louisiana seafood in season Tops! Barbecue Shrimp, Crawfish Étouffée, Corn & Crab Bisque, Oyster & Artichoke Soup… :)

Another very enjoyable and helpful video Emmy & Paul. I loved the gifts Paul got for you Emmy, especially the little handbag. I love your mentality about giving gifts to each other......you don't join the majority in thinking that to show love you must spend a lot of money on gifts for each other. I love how you set a budget of 10 dollars and appreciate the thought you each put into choosing each other's gifts out of that amount. That's truly a lovely way to live and such a lovely attitude. I just love how genuine and thoughtful you both are. I hope you have a fantastic week ahead. May God greatly bless you both.❤

We cook from scratch nearly every day because I have Celiac. Trying to navigate gluten free options in restaurants can get complicated, and expensive. More than once, I have physically paid the price for accidental cross contamination. So, my husband and I have adapted. We make gluten free fried chicken, gf. PF Chang's Mongolian beef, gf Kung Pao chicken, and so many more. We have now gotten to the point where our home cooked food is better than what we could get out. It takes time and research, but it's so worth it. ❤

Absolutely right! It is better!

Gifts that impress "others" or gifts that mean something to the recipient. That's what I ask myself when shopping. Paul apparently knows this :) Those sandwiches looked decadent. I love Italian food but admit I'm not that knowledgeable about some of the ingredients. The sausage appeared to have a casing. I've always removed that but, yours seems to have evaporated in the cooking process. Was that due to the slow cooking?

Yes, it was so tender! Very very good!

Their cans of cherry tomatoes also make a fantastic sauce. Pecans will continue to be expensive because of the bad weather this year so stock up when u can. Same for cacao and vanilla.

Hello from England. The sausage recipe looks good, similar to one I make, it never turns out the same, depending on what ingredients we have at the time.Sometimes I seem to run out of ideas to cook, maybe next week that will be on the menu with pasta. I am cooking cottage pie today with enough to freeze for 3 days. The chicken dinner we have tomorrow we shall have the next day also and left over meat will be frozen then used again in fried rice. The carcass will be used to make soup. It’s such a satisfying feeling making from scratch. We do treat ourselves occasionally with lunch out like, yesterday but only a snack. We are 78, 79 years married for 57.

I just bought some yesterday $2.50 a bag. Our local Kroger a had digital coupon if you spent $25 you could get a turkey for .49 a pound! That's one of the things I am bringing to my parents. When I was at Kroger grocery shopping yesterday I almost made an impulse purchase of cat food that I don't normally buy because it was on a good sale. I put it the cart and was talking to my kids about the price and as we were talking my 7 year old son helped me realize even though it was a really good price it wasn't good for several reasons. I couldn't believe he was thinking better than me!😂 I was really grateful he helped me sort it out. Thank you for another great video!!

That penny in the purse is for luck. That’s a very old-fashioned thing to do I believe but it’s very nice. The Italian sausage recipe looks delicious and has me wanting to do it. I believe I will do it in the next few days. I am a huge over spender but desire to live within my means so your show is really beneficial to me. Thank you very much much.

I recently purchased a beautiful charcoal sketch of 1919 St. Louis for $5 at Restore (Habitat for Humanity). I repainted the frame a matte black. It will make an amazing Christmas present for my son. He loves black and white movies, photos, etc., so it will be perfect. $5, plus a little paint and my time. It looks so elegant and he will be so pleased. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be his favorite gift. ❤

YES! That's the best way to gift a present! Love it!
