Give me your BEST grocery tips for saving money! Comment from : Frozen Pennies

I like your advice about not going into stores as much I work in a student center on a college campus I waste quite a bit on convenience food I will just avoid those venues Comment from : Fritz Bjorkvist

I benefit from living by myself I do not have meal plans I look for produce on sale and augment it with starch and protein I find I waste less and, yes, I use what I have first Your advice is great I will use my instant pot more Comment from : Fritz Bjorkvist

I spend so much less doing my shopping online There are no "end cap temptations" I pick up the groceries on my way home from work and save a trip I only go into the store for specific items that may be picked incorrectly (my bathrooms have special vanity lights with tiny ends - previous owners put them in)brSince my husband passed away my groceries budget has been cut by 3/4 I cook one meal on Sunday and it lasts at least until Wednesday because I eat it for dinner and lunch Comment from : Jinde Jak

I grow some veges, herbs and seasonal fruit I incorporate my home grown food into my menu plans for the week I am constantly surprised how much fresh herbs cost in the stores The smallest homes can have growing areas for herbs, sprouts and microgreens Just need a sunny area near a window Love your videos, thank you 🌱🌿 Comment from : Janet Bransdon

Sara, I have a confession to make I just recently retired November 2022 I’m learning to live very frugally grocery wise by grocery shopping once a month I just came back from the grocery store and I made a lot of common sense decisions like what I needed and not what I wanted I wound up spending so much less Thank you so much again for that great and awesome advice I cut my grocery bill in half from last time I shopped ❤️❤️❤️💰💰💰💰🛒🛒🛒 Comment from : robin duncan

Stock up when there are sales and use coupons I use the envelope system for groceries and household supplies, $700 a month, that’s for three adults and two pets My town also has a day old bread store and believe me, I am a regular! Comment from : Allison Modaff

I work for instacart and love using it as a online grocery shopping list and walmart grocery as well Comment from : Brittany Bell

I'm really good with my budget but my biggest weakness is buying things and not using them before they go bad I'm single so even have to plan out how to use a half gallon of milk before it spoilsbrbrI definitely save money when I take the time to meal plan, which I need to get better at Comment from : Tamara

you can even use the online shopping tip to just get a better idea of the budget! Comment from : Emily Leader

Planning menus and sticking to my lists and menu are essential for me (I'm single, no kids) No "hemming and homming" in the grocery store, wondering what to get Saves me manys a headache! Comment from : Heather Russell

Enjoyed these tips as well Thank you for helping me start my year off on the right foot! 😊 Comment from : Marva O

I am older and now single , never plan my menu for the week , I always check out what I have in the fridge and cook from my fridge , freezer and pantry or garden I cook in bulk and freeze leftover in portion size , so easy to take out when I don’t feel like cooking or have had a busy day I haven’t been grocery shopping since just before Christmas using up what I have at home Comment from : Sylvia Hufer

Hi, great videos, Thank you! I watch your videos in the morning as motivation to stay on track everyday Comment from : Laura Castillo

Slow cooker is my favorite thing Learn how to cut up(break down) whole chicken Never buy chicken nuggets, strips,or other store cut meats Comment from : Kelda Ogg

Cucumbers The ones for sale here are as long as my forearm & hand Call it 14-18" Occasionally half cucumbers are available So, what sort of cucumbers come in a "whole bag" or a "3 pack"? Surely we don't mean the same thing? Comment from : Crafty Pam

Great tips! These strategies have helped me save a lot on groceries too I used to throw away a lot of food, but now I only buy food that I'm going to eat Comment from : Fred Swartley

Thank you for reminding me roast beef Yummy! Other than that: Frozen things get mush and disgusting It just needs to be thrown to garbage in my opinion The only things that should be frozen are: meat of any kind (raw), ice, ice-cream, home made juice, things like that Comment from : Kar ma

Also I have learned to stop wasting food I waste nothing now Comment from : No Ordinary TV

Buy a dehydrator, payed for itself in a month Comment from : Betsy Ross20

I always buy a whole chicken because I can cut into different sizes rather than buying specific portions Comment from : Ely C

I live alone so I do big batch cooking, package it in small containers, and freeze it so that I always have a meal to pull out I never buy prepared food, as I have high blood pressure-the cost AND the sodium content are just way too high And, even though I don't have a lot of cupboard space in my kitchen, I do have a very large closet, so I use a large tote as my "pantry" so that I can stockpile It really helps a lot!! Comment from : Susan Dwyer

I agree about online groceries saving money I find it removes the impulse buys I love your observation about being able to play with the numbers and see a rolling total I bought a membership for my preferred store and I get deals not available to non members and I have definitely saved money They also send me coupon offers and extra points I created a stockpile and reorganized my freezer at the beginning of the pandemic and I know this is a money saver! Comment from : Catherine Mc gill

Eat leftovers I know it's common sense LMAO You just mentioned doing this I know people who won't eat leftovers🙃😝🤪 Comment from : leeann cornell

🌸🥰😇🤩🎉 Comment from : leeann cornell

Throwing all your leftovers into a pot and making a soup It can last for days and eliminates waste We always did this growing up (the 70s and 80s!) and I do it today Also, there are lots of people in the world without food so waste makes me sad Comment from : Mariahs Mom

We have leftover Friday for dinner like a buffet and eat everything cooked Comment from : Darlene Blakely

Make sure your receipt has the sale prices listed On line sales don't always come up I sit in my car and check prices and what the ads say Don't go home because you will not go back to the store for $2 On $50 worth of food there is $2-5 worth of mistakes computer error LOL also resize large economy soap into smaller bottles Try to forget you got it cheaper, because you use more Comment from : Al Legg

Anytime we had extra money, a portion goes to my stock pile I now am able to stay within my $25/2 a week budget I always have a little extra at the end of the month so first week we get to eat out on Sunday lunchbrAlso freezer meals and canning meals in a jar, saves me from fast food meals Comment from : Deanna Willis

Costco is my grocery saving tip for items you eat alot of Example, store sells Thomas english muffins 450 each here in ca Costco sells a 4 pack for 899 Next, spinach freezes well Comment from : Jen MV

Great tips! Thanks! Comment from : Jonna Borosky

Ido most of what you say, but since I work in a grocery staying away is not an option I bring my leftovers for lunches, and freeze extras for another week If I make a large pot dish like soup stew, or spaghetti sauce, I freeze jars for another dinner I also take advantage of what is termed outcodesthese are items that are getting to the sell by dateThis is great if you come home and process right away If you get rolls and lunch meat, you can freeze sa dishes for grab n go take frozen yogurt and make smoothies for breakfast Prepackaged meat for your dishes that month Your freezer is your friend Thanks for more information 😀 Comment from : Ronnie Cupp

New subscriber! Yay!brbr1 Get to know neighbors, teachers, people at the gym, etc Through my acquaintances I have a neighbor that brings over extra produce from their garden, a teacher who's husband hunts that called to say they need to make room in their freezer, do I want some meat? AND I found a local vegetable farm that accepts volunteers and they pay me in organic produce every weekbr2 Know how your stores show clearance items I just bought 3 organic turkeys for about a $1/lb (normally, they are close to $4 or more per lb) You just need to know where/how to look -For those that don't have room for a deep freeze, invest in a pressure canner and learn to can In these uncertain times it may be time to put some effort in those skills our Grandparents learned in order to save money, etcbr3 Soups and stews are your friend Great way to throw all those random veggies, small meat leftovers, etc Add some salt and complimentary herbs and spices and you have a great meal and no food waste!br4 Ferment! Nearly every type of vegetable and fruit can be fermented (cabbage, cucumber, asparagus, cauliflower, peppers, tomato and fruit salsas and chutneys just to name a few) All you need is good salt, water and Mason jars Super healthy for you too Comment from : Kristen Mayo

Why do you think everyone has a big freezer Some people live in apartments and don't even have space for a big freezer Comment from : Annie B

The coupons in the papers by me are not worth that much There might be one for 25 off something I use reward points in addition to digital coupons Also, check the front of your stores, there may be flyers, coupons, BOGO's you wouldn't normally have Comment from : R MS

Hi brI'm a new subscriber Everything you said was beneficial I already do many of these thingsbrMy biggest savings are meal planning and use up leftovers brThis has forced me to be more creativebrAnother tip is have one shelf in your fridge for leftovers and things that need to be used quicklybrMy other tip is see if you have any salvage grocery stores near youbrThey are really helpful for the budget Comment from : Renee Johnson

It's easy to make empanada dough Fillings can be made with items already in your pantry (soups, rice mixes, canned stews or Meats, veggies) and when cooled can be packaged and frozen for quick meals Or use fruit to make a sweet treat Comment from : Lee

I buy 6 pounds of hamburger and devide it into one pound portions and put each one in a freezer bag smash them down flat and freeze them Comment from : Verna Bryant

If I've shopped for hours and I'm tired I will buy a cheap good pizza like Red Baron so I can just put it in the oven and have a cheap quick meal Comment from : Verna Bryant

New to your channel and loving it!! I may be biased but I also love that you’re Italian!! 🥰👏🏻🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 Comment from : The SeasonedTeacher

When I was at Walmart yesterday I saw single serving containers of cereal for $199 That seems crazy I was wondering who buys them? Comment from : Cooking Lessons for Dad

I'm a big home canner I didn't do a garden this year and am backing off going to the grocery store to 1 or 2 times a month In consequence, we are going through all my canned goods at a rapid clip It has really opened my eyes to how much I actually need to put away in order to sufficiently feed my family from my own garden/homestead Comment from : Amanda Taylor

Yay! Indeed Comment from : Off-grid simply Happy Rodriguez

I like and eat celery Wrap in aluminum foil and it will last at least 2 weeks in the refrigeratorbrMy husband is diabetic and protein is important in his diet I do cut back on how much meat as to portion size we eat Using meat in casseroles is also a meat reduction cost Comment from : Carol

l freeze veg scraps,meat scraps and bones to make broth,and l can it!!I also can soup,which l make a large pot of,eat some for supper,can the rest! Comment from : Kimberly J Stornello

great video, thank you' As a fitness and health enthusiast, I definitely do not agree with your comfort food choices (for me, it would me more soups, vegetable stir fries, warm squash meals, etc, maybe meatless dishes 2x/week) but I love all the other suggestions you gave 🙂 Comment from : Ágnes Juhász

I have thrown away so many heads of cauliflower and pineapples, so sad I always feel, like I lost a challenge when I have to throw something out It doesn't happen very often, but it still feels terrible when it does Comment from : Better Living on a Budget

Was that Wilton BJ's?? Comment from : Riley J

When the government started printing Covid stimulus money, knew inflation was right around the corner I started in 2020 stocking up on frozen and staple foods when they are on sale I consume when not on sale and restock and rotate when back on sale again My wife and I are empty nesters now, so I took a 13x19 foot room in the basement and converted in into my man cave, home theatre and prepping room I completely surrounded the room with floor to ceiling shelves and they are packed Plus I bought an extra freezer, both freezers are packed to the brim Experts expect this inflation to go on for at least another year, unless there is a recession In either scenario you want food stocked up Comment from : John Casey

Hi Sara - l’ve been doing most of your suggestions for about a year, now I just love your videos and awesome ideas!! The freezer has become my best friend!! ☃️brMeal planning has really made a significant difference for me - plus I now keep a running list of what’s in my freezer - GAME CHANGER and definately saving $$$ brThank you for your time & effort!! ❤️ Comment from : Je T

Meal plan Sales online is new for me I live 12 mi from small store & 1+ hr from larger ones Yes: simple comfort foods, meals pressure canned in 1/2 pint jars, grow & preserve (barter when I can) Comment from : Four Day Homestead

Tins of baked beans and always have some sliced wholemeal bread in the freezerbrThe husband and kids can microwave beans and make toast when I'm not in the zone for cooking Grab a carrot, cucumber and tomato from the crisper Only need to rinse those, chopping optional Comment from : Barbara Bruce

Eat less meatbiggest savings ever Comment from : Kristin Montiel

My 2 centsIf you don't have the spare cash to build a stockpile at least keep an eye on expensive essentials and browse the catalogues to buy that item on special before you completely run out Oil, for example, when I have a small amount left, I start looking to replace it on sale Same with hair colour, detergents, bug spray - all the things that really add to the total bill I NEVER pay full price for any of those things Also, I don't know how things are in America, but here in Australia the major chains have loyalty programs and will email you incentives that can really add up For example, I'm using an offer where if I spend $50 per week for 4 weeks in a row, I get $50 in points which can be redeemed for that chain - and for other things too I shop with my calculator and a list of their specials and spend as close to $50 as I can - so effectively I'm getting a 25 discount - a bargain on top of an already thrifty shop!! Yes, it's saving me money but frankly it's fun too and very satisfying Some great advice here which means I'm going to have to go through all you other posts! Cheers from Sydney - and I hope you have a beautiful white Christmas! Comment from : Anderson Omo

I always make sure I have a few super easy dinners in the house (frozen pizza when on sale, frozen raviolis and jarred sauces) so I can whip up something super quick when I don’t feel like cooking and I want to order take out Comment from : Dana Wood

I agree with your statement to stock up in food you like when on sale And I did start over a year ago when I saw inflation looming Even bought a chest freezer to accomplish a lot of this We concentrated on high dollar items thinking as these went up they would cost much more in terms of real dollars Chicken, red meat and other cuts/kinds of meat and shrimp! Lower priced items such as canned vegetables and rice are cheap Even double priced they would be affordablebrbrHopefully many people listen to your pointers They are very good!
