Is the homemade dry roux shelf stable? Can I make extra and save for next time?

This was a favorite meal when I was a kid and we got it due to it being popular in our church, however we used doritos not fritos and slow-cooked dry pinto or even kidney beans and would use some of the bean "juice" to make it a little soupy or juicy on bottom. And the melted cheese was WOW! And to be honest, I think sometimes we only used the beans and they were seasoned with the taco seasoning mix, no hamburger meat. Its been decades so can't remember precisely! But I know this, it sure was one of my favorites and yes we did it with the lettuce and tomatoes and maybe some sour cream sometimes. But just load me up with the cheddar melted by the piping hot beans!

Hello from Norway :)

Liquid smoke ....... No! That stuff is cancer in a bottle.

Thank you so much for sharing these ideas and tips!!! Doer helpful!

I LOVE❤ that you talk nutrition not just prices when buying groceries. Too often in the mad dash to be frugal [ I get it. I host a frugal living facebook group ], youtube chamnels will focis on extra carbs to " fill bellies". However, buying clearance, on sale, being flexible, having a prepping pantry and knowledge of nutrition can also help folks to save money.😊

Is dried milk in your country expensive... Mine can't afford cheese but spamming dried milk is a survival play

I missed you. Hope u and ur family is doing well.

Take those tomatoes out of the refrigerator.

Did you continue the challenge?

If neighbors an people would only go back to sharing and helping others. What a difference the world would be!!!!

Good job! My addiction is diet dew and ice coffee. GRRR IT ADDS UP! I really need to kick it to the curb!

Looks really delicious 😋. I was surprised no use of the "trinity " ( onions , bell peppers & celery) and no okra. I knew of dry roux and really wish I could get some in my area. But your Uncle can really cook. Thanks for the vlog

I love when my kids come shopping, especially now they are teens. I don't know what they want to eat, so it is very helpful to have them with. Great video❤❤😊😊

We have nine children and spend $75 a week for groceries and $35 a month for household.Same budget for years.I refuse to up budget.I just tweaked the way I cook and shop.We have a fully stocked pantry also.

Very picky about my bananas..like them less ripe. I notice that my Kroger is often out of the sale items😢.

Bays are my fave English muffins too. Hard to find sometimes. I find bananas here ripen on the way home from the store! I dislike ripe ones.

I get by with my family of 4 (1 adult, 2 older teens and an 8yr old) forb$250/month 😊

I like bananas different. I like them really yellow to eat by itself. If it's in oatmeal and cereal I like it with brown spots on it. If it's super super ripe I make banana nut bread, oatmeal bars, or smoothies with them. I hate them green though.

When I grew up my mom bought the groceries by herself or with us kids (we aren't allowed to pick things). If my dad went, momma always told him he has to pay for everything. He got a million snacks - no practical things unless momma put it in the basket. No veggies nor fruit. He would get eggs and milk because he cooked breakfast. Lol. I miss doing that together.

I don't do the soft parenting lol eat what I make and I can afford or don't...

We like our bananas 🍌 yellow no green. Some spots are okay but not too many. 😂

Yes! My son was on spring break and I had a ton of extras that trip because the kids put on a strong please face 😂

❤❤

The closest Trader Joe’s is 150 miles away 😢

Just this past week was my first time trying the fairlife milk. It was a reasonable price for me to try it. I picked up some creamer as well. The next day or so I was watching a video which in the video the person said she wasn’t a fan of the creamer because it didn’t foam up like a particular brand. So I went and made my cup of coffee. I tried is it did foam a bit so I decided to a some fairlife milk into a cup and added the creamer. It just needed more volume and depth to make it foam. I’ve been doing this milk n creamer combo for a few days now. When I opened up the carton I was like wow this is good n tasty. I’ve been drinking almond milk for a long while now since regular milk bothers my stomach.

My TJ’s is about an hour away so I don’t get to go there often as well. And funny thing there’s a Target right next to it. Usually when I go with my one friend we go into Target as well. I go about once a quarter or twice a year. I due for another trip to TJ’s. I have my favorite items to get. I love the plantain chips with chocolate hummus which I’m bummed that they don’t carry it anymore. I always gave the some little snack size of Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds as well as the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter cups. I should totally take the jump and buy them in the containers instead of the small bags. I like their rose toner and I heard about the bar shampoo which I still haven’t tried which I want to try. I can’t remember if you’ve suggested something to me. The last time I was there I tried the raw pumpkin seeds. I loved adding them to my salad. I have about a fourth of bag now. In past videos I’ve seen other people buy the bagged Thai foods. I’d like to try but I’m not sure if it’s in my taste palette. In a recent video I’ve seen I want to try the toasted coconut flakes. From your video I want to try the puffs. I totally should make list on my phone of new TJ’s foods and items I want to try.

❤ the Tazo flavored teas are absolutely delicious. And smell amazing. You don't even need add any sweetener to it. That lemon loaf tea. Is the truth.❤

So cute. The dress you got her.

Those peppers are delicious! I love TJ's, I have one just 10 minutes away. ❤

I’m a new subscriber and I love ur video

I do save some money doing pick ups at Kroger. I very seldom shop at Walmart. But I do miss the clearance items if I don’t go in. I also shop in store at food lion. That’s where I usually get my clearance meats.

You have a beautiful daughter. Those big brown eyes 😊

261.00? You did well!

I save money by shopping in store because discounted items aren't available through pick-up. I use each stores online cart to find unit prices and to get totals before I leave the house. We also use a small notebook to keep a running list so I look at weekly ads. I always leave a buffer for stock up or to pick up a few needed items through the month. And, of course, shop all the food storage areas in the house first. I need to shop but I'm going to wait another week. We won't starve!

Leigh we are having a 3 week no spend just had knee surgery so I am out of commission for a while and don't like to send hubby he doesn't always look at prices like me. So they will just have too wait till I get stitches out next week.

Those were some great deals!👏👏 It seems like there's a lot more competition with clearance hunters in my area for good reason of course 😉

👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

I am on a continuous pantry challenge because we have been on a $200 monthly budget for 15 years. It was actually $160 until the pandemic when we took our eating out budget and rolled it into our grocery budget. Reverse meal planning is certainly key. I have just finished my march meal plan with everything in the house. Starting to be really hard to hit that budget but still striving to do my best. You did an amazing job for the month and love everything you share.

Your Valentine's day dinner was set up beautifully. Good job!

Hand me your pantry :D

I love these challenges! Thank you for sharing.

Yep! I meal plan backwards, too. And I have permission to change things up. I meal plan complete meals, meaning I write down sides, too. You could make won ton soup with broccoli and chicken. Can't see what is in the Ling ling bag but it will will be good. Encouraged by your videos, I've been pulling foods (I had portioned) out of the freezer for dinners ... chicken chili, frozen cooked pork and frozen whole pinto beans turned into enchiladas ... quart bag of homemade tomato soup that I mixed with cooked, mashed white beans, both from the freezer. Last night I made salmon patties from leftover cooked salmon I had frozen. I'm getting there! Tonight I made spicy pork Bibimbap, so simple and tasty. I made a mix of cauliflower rice with a little cooked leftover basmati from the freezer. I don't have bok choy or fresh greens so I used frozen lightly steamed spinach, stir fry carrot strips and mushrooms (before they went bad), separately, and, of course, a fried egg on top. The pickled onions I made a couple weeks ago didn't get used up. I don't know why but I find jars and containers that are almost empty a bit annoying, and a challenge to use up. . There are leftovers and we're good with all leftovers. It was really good! 67.00 for 2 weeks ... excellent! You spent about half of your regular shopping trips. 🎉 You've made a noticable dent in your freezers and dry storage spaces!

Yeah I follow the recipe the first time and then alternate the next time I make.

My 4 year old has to have peanut and honey sandwiches, but she will eat it all if I make it into dinosaurs. Off subject- ur hair looks so healthy. What are u using, if u don't mind saying. Love the idea of ur husband doing easy dinners.
