I just love your plan ahead and budget strategies. I have been doing these things for 40 plus years, and yet I still enjoy watching your videos. So very smart and you are doing such a service teaching others how to do these things!! Love!!!
Hi Gaby!!! I like that you have that book to plan everything. When our Children were little I always made grocery lists. Now I am alone. My dear Husband ♥️ passed, my Children are grown. But...with the grocery prices at ridiculous prices I must be on a budget now. Never was in my life. Our Government doesn't care about us old people...Anyways...I enjoyed your planning. Thanks for showing us this...Great Video!!!...🦋
My husband passed in February. My Dad passed in June. It's just me now. I love a good budget. I feel like I've been doing it my whole life. We had 5 active and very involved children. I know where you are now. True words and we are on our own. Thanks for sharing.
Like you I have a budget for groceries and some fav meals but my strategy is not to meal plan but to shop lost leaders, discounts, clearance etc. and then build my meal plan around that and my basic staples. I used to meal plan but found I save even more when I shop and cook what is on sale. That being said you have to be more creative. For example this week cucumbers are extremely inexpensive here so I had so many versions of salads with cucumbers as part of my side salads with meals.
yes, I do that too, if i find something cheaper like mushrooms (we love mushrooms) then I trade one of the meals for the one. but i like to be prepared in case i don't find good deals. but yes this is a great idea. thanks for sharing.
thank you. I am, I have a family and I will feel terrible if something happen and I don't have food to feed my family so it better to get ready a little bit at the time.thanks for watching.
Thanks for a great video Gaby. I’m one person n I like to cook n bake so it’s more a case of cook something n eat it til it’s gone. In between to break the monotony I’ll have a salad n quesadilla or a scrambled egg n toast n tea for dinner. Food here in NE AZ is quite expensive n we only have Safeway n Walmart. Thank goodness I no how to make bean soup n veg n meat soups to make my dollars go further. Keep up the Greta work of sharing n shopping w us. 🤗🤗🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing your budget and buying system. I’ve never been very organized with food storage. I have a closet I keep extras, canned and dry food, and I try to keep 1-2 household necessities stocked. I use a black sharpie marker and write dates on everything so I can easily see dates. Then I stack or line everything up with oldest dates at back and bottom.
Very informative! DH & I are seniors, but long before we reached that age category I started keeping a budget/household accounting book. I write down every bill that we have, and tally them up, I write down our "standard" grocery budget for the month, I have a set amount for "Miscellaneous Purchases" (things on sale, or unexpected bargains, and such.) I like to keep a well stocked supply of non-perishable grocery items, and I am a "case buyer"...when something comes in a 6-pack, 8-pack, 10 pack, etc. if it works out to be cheaper per item than buying individually [It doesn't always turn out that way.], then I try to buy the case of whatever it is. I am diabetic, so I do have to read labels and buying diabetic friendly items can be more expensive, but I buy as much on sale as possible. Like you, Gaby, I have a list of go-to meals, meatless meals, frugal meals, etc., that I keep in another notebook. I am a "kitchen experimenter" and if I throw together something "off the cuff" and it turns out well, and DH likes it, he will say "Put that in the book!" which is his way of saying Write it down so you don't forget how you made it!" :)
Thank you so much for sharing this method! Very practical regardless of the family size. Even if the “event” is just a special treat that’s brilliant! ❤❤❤
gracias. tengo uno que esta en pausa pero ya por fin la siguiente semana comienzo a subir videos como estos alla, se llama cocinando rico con gaby. aqui te dejo el link de ese. Muchas gracias.www.youtube.com/@cocinandorico
God bless you for providing some wonderful, amazing ideas on food budgeting. I very much appreciate you sharing this valuable information. As a senior and my husband, a senior in our 60's budgeting is very important for our own household too. I totally agree with you about having a freezer. So beneficial especially when food in on sale - especially meat or poultry. We love meatless meals too. Can make very tasty and can add in plant base protein instead. Peace be with you. Love from Ky Sub. 💙👍
THank you! Gaby this was a super helpful video- I so appreciate it. I love that your tree is up! Ours is under our bed and we've taped the box a million times😂 Mine will go up in November-we like it up for Thanksgiving. Be Well and thanks
I bought the Rice Krispie treats and airheads for Halloween too. Bought them last month as part of my food budget since we were starting a freezer clean out to make the turkey fit. Got mine at Sam’s.
Hello Gaby, I been trying to purchase your planer but no luck, can you send me the right link please, thanks looking forward. The day you posted it worked, but the following day it stopped.😮
here is the link. I checked and its working, please let me know if you have trouble with it. email me at mexicancookinwithgaby@gmail.com cocinandorico.com/product/pdf-groceries-meal-planing-and-budget-planner/
I'm interested in getting a budget/meal planner, but the link wasn't working for me. Normally, I'm not a planner person (ADHD), but yours is really well done, and simplistic enough that I think it would work for me. I mean that as a compliment. I find most planners to be too complicated and not very flexible. Yours is perfect!😊 I'll try the link again in a few days. Great job! ❤
Hi, so i made the meal planning book and you can purchase the PDF version thru this link :cocinandorico.com/shop/ im currently in the process of selling my physical copies as well. so be ready for when they come out !
I created it.you can purchase it here the PDF, the physical book will be on sale next week. cocinandorico.com/product/pdf-groceries-meal-planing-and-budget-planner/

Hugs to you Diane
I follow you from Sweden
awesome!!! thank you.
I love your videos! I love HEB. I wish we had one in NJ. Whenever I visit my daughter in Texas I love going there!, and their prices are good.

This is exactly what I do too. It makes you a better cook long run!
I also try to buy only sales and create my meals from those, but sometimes even off brand full price is cheaper than a name brand sale
yes, I do that too, if i find something cheaper like mushrooms (we love mushrooms) then I trade one of the meals for the one. but i like to be prepared in case i don't find good deals. but yes this is a great idea. thanks for sharing.
100% agree. I love experimenting.
Thank you for sharing❤
