I don’t understand why people would doubt you. Just because they don’t get those prices doesn’t mean you don’t. I don’t usually find them but I don’t go hunting and our store is ancient and crazy. But just because I don’t see those prices doesn’t mean you don’t! You do you Boo! Love your videos!!!

I watch a lot of these types of videos, prices really do vary sooo much state to state. Midwest generally seems to be much lower overall. Some people always find meat, vegetables, bakery, etc. on clearance, some never have that in their stores. Most other video creators also end up showing their receipts too. I think folks are just frustrated with the varying price/availability right now because times are extra tough. Even if there is a cost difference for me, I appreciate all the dinner ideas and hard work that goes into these videos.

I am in Michigan and our Kroger’s have horrible prices. We don’t have as many markdowns either. Here in my area we have Aldi which is higher then Walmart, Walmart, a store called Meijer it was the first store here in the 70s to sell food and clothes it was like a warehouse now it is a regular everything store and Kroger’s. All our little mom and pop like IGA closed years ago. It cost 160.00 at Walmart last week to get groceries for 2 weeks. It is just the husband and me. I wasn’t feeling good so I did grocery delivery. First time I ever tried it. I don’t care for it I am weird and like to grocery shop. Doing grocery delivery at Walmart was cheaper then Aldi which last month it wasn’t that way, plus I get free delivery. It is a shame we have to eat these days. If we could not buy groceries and make the stores take a hit like we do shopping, they might lower their prices. I also always try to make sure we have leftovers. I am trying to get more for my money.

Just a little suggestion... Did you know if you take your potato peels, coat them with oil and seasonings, put them on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven until crispy you have chips and don't waist any of the potato 😁 They are delicious

Brooke, you are so right! "Meal Planning" is what you find on sale at the store and work around that. I've done this for years. Trying to "plan meals" isn't realistic when you're on a budget. What is important, being good at knowing what your family likes and applying that to those sale items. "Easy peasey", per Brooke. Great video!

Another idea if you have corn tortillas, eggs, onion you can make Migas . All you do is cube corn tortillas sauté to make soft in pan add onion together till translucent then add eggs and garlic powder salt and pepper. Scrambled all together. Serve and you can add salsa on top if you want.

It is kind of like a puzzle. I always try to spot the items that will spoil the fastest and try to incorporate them first. I also like to prepare a few things to have on hand like cooked rice. I’m more of a one dish meal type: stir-fry, salad, chili, soup, curry, etc. I find it easier than doing a main dish with sides.

Since you usually have eggs from your chickens, do you ever make quiche? You could make the "impossible" quiche that makes its own crust and use your shelf-stable milk in your pantry. Leftover chicken, ham, real bacon bits, cheese, etc. Great way to use a piece of an onion, bell pepper, or other various veggies. Leftovers heat up nicely in the microwave. Just an idea.

I know this was a year ago, but if you read this, you are right. When you are on a tight budget, you hit the sales and clearances first. Meat is the most expensive, so you focus on what deal you can get on it first and then move to your produce deals. I have always done that especially at the starting of the month with your first paycheck.

I buy something on sale whether meat or vegetables then Google recipes. 9/10 times I still don't have all the ingredients, so I have to wing it. Usually works, but not always! LOL

Daddy had a restaurant back in the 50's before the advent of frozen french fries and this is how he did his fries...frying them twice not only makes them crisp it makes them fast b/c all he had to do was drop them when he got an order and they'd be brown by the time the rest of the order was ready...no cold fries.

DH and I spent time overseas and one night we watched a restaurant owner whose kitchen was basically in the middle of his restaurant do the same thing with his French fries. When he was slow he would partially cook several baskets of fries and when the waiter would tell him what was needed he would finish cooking the right amount quickly when the rest of that order was almost ready. He had no problem keeping up with orders that way. That was the most fascinating night watching how he ran his kitchen.

I can't plan ahead. I live in a very small town and there is always something not available. Last winter there were no onions for 3 months. If you don't get chicken the first day it gets stocked, you probably won't. Walmart doesn't mark down produce but they do donate it to our county food bank. So I get what I can on my budget and make it work. I actually was able to feed 3 adults for $100 recently. It was tough but we ate well because I forage and have a garden.

I am a numbers geek. A pound of meat is the equivalent of 16 ounces of protein. 3-3.5 is what is recommended for an adult per meal. If, you all have Cottage Cheese, Egg for breakfast, Cheese for snack, Beans for lunch then using 2/3 pound of hamburger should still be enough protein. Even for the kids especially if they drink milk . I think alot of times folks forget we should be getting nutrition throughout the day and not just in one meal. Also, we as Americans are used to eating large steaks, whole chicken breasts at one meal

Oh and it's so funny when me and my wife got together she thought it was funny that I ate pineapple and cottage cheese because she had never heard of that before I'm from Indiana she's from Kentucky and in Kentucky she says they eat tomatoes with their cottage cheese which it's pretty damn good too because she had me try it but pineapple and cottage cheese never gets old I love it! You should try it with tomatoes too because it really is good for more savory taste!

My husband loves it with tomatoes! I’ve never tried it. Though I have put cottage cheese in my lasagna before. It’s pretty good, so I’m sure the tomatoes would be good now that I think about it.

If you find evaporated milk mark down that would be a good thing to have on hand or even powdered milk that can substitute for the milk that you need in certain recipes

Sometimes people question how I get good deals too. I work at it.... I'm sure you do as well. I am always looking for good clearance and sale items to add to my stock as well as swapping out home grown produce with other people. That's how we get by these days. I think that we could get 5 or 6 meals out of that for a family of 7.

I would take the two hotdogs and the buns and cut them up in a small piece then add the chili to the top of it add the cheese bake it in the oven for like 1520 minutes just to heat it through and then top it with the onions chili cheese dog casserole

I like to inventory what I have at home and then list what I need to complete those meals and see how many days that would cover! I buy those few things and then I go from there to shop the sales and clearance to get the rest of the week! I often go two weeks and usually only go back in 2 Nd week to do the cost cutter items and milk or other items I am running low on! This keeps me out of the store for most of the month with two good sized shops and only necessities and cost cutters in between! If I can make it the 2 Nd week without going back I do!

Can I suggest you use a bit of instant pancake mix to do your onion rings next time? It works great. They are crispy and a bit fluffier

Sadly I was out 😂 I was planning on pancake baking mix, but I ended up using the flour. Definitely adding it to the next batch!

😊 I think most people forget what a serving size portion is supposed to be because most servings are oversized and advertised as if it doesn’t get all over your face it doesn’t belong in ur face lol 😅Great job 👏🏼 Brooke. 🎉

You got a great kroger grocery haul. And you fed your family great meals with that $50.00. I think people just want to hate on others, but prices are different from area to area. Be nice! Love the grated bread trick. I never eat the heels of the bread..perfect for that. Keep up the meal ideas.

Another tip on onion rings: some places use pancake mix or their ice cream mix for their batter. Changes the price so not as thrifty, but ups the yum factor❣️❣️

Great recipe to make your own chili mix 1 tablespoon of chili power one teaspoon of cumin 1/4 of each teaspoon salt onion power and garlic power and 1/8 teaspoon of black powder. You can add more chili power and cumin if you want.

Love watching your stuff. This is an older video so I’m not sure you’ll see this but to stretch food at our home we do a “leftovers” night where I put all the food that needs to be eaten on the counter and everyone picks what they want, oldest to youngest, unless someone was naughty that day lol. Last choice on leftover night is a terrifying punishment ha! Anyway you reminded me of that when you layed everything out. Keep up the good work! I love how much produce you used in the plan.
