You'll probably learn that making things yourself, like mashed potatoes, will be cheaper and stretch for more meals if you make them yourself instead of buying kits. Also, eating healthy doesn't have to break the bank. It breaks the bank when people try to do complicated recipes with unique ingredients instead of using the true healthy options of things that came off a plant or out of the ground.
Yes, the counter was covered with a huge amount of processed foods. Kids learn to eat as adults what their fed as children. I purchase very basic groceries, with very little processed foods. For the cost of instant mashed you could buy a large bag of spuds at Costco. Make your own French fries, have baked potato night, scalloped potatoes, oven roast and potatoes, mashed potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes- My mom made potatoes to stretch the $$$’s. Also give up the chips and give kids fruit slices or carrot sticks instead. Processed foods have so many additives, processed cheese slices are mostly oil. And most items, cereals, pop tarts and such are loaded with sugar. You can also purchase large bags of frozen veggies and fruit at Costco- My grandkids love eating frozen blueberries as a dessert- Sugary desserts should be for a once a week treat or special occasions. Let’s teach our children to eat nutritionally-
You guys are making such a huge difference. Your willingness to be vulnerable has relieved some of the shame in our massive debt. That shame keeps the cycle going for sure. HUbby and I have printed the debt-free sheets, prepared a budget, and are beginning to climb our way out of debt, all since watching you guys bare your financial souls with us. We have been talking about it for a long time, but your videos gave us such motivation to get serious about it. I've already begun coloring lines (on our sheets) and envelopes as we unbury ourselves. I'm thinking you guys could seriously get a "get started" kit together! With Cullen's artistic ability and Katie's level of detail orientation...you're sure to keep this going! I seriously watch your videos to keep my self motivated! IT WORKS! Your vulnerability is the real deal. THANK YOU!!!!
I’ve worked for Aldi Scotland for 16 years and I’ve literally saved thousands! Our UK slogan used to be “spend a little, live a lot” ☺️
Gemma270481 i just started seeing Aldi stores hear in California USA. I have not been there before but i will try the store out soon.
You should “buy” everything you got at Aldi’s online at your Walmart or grocery store and see what you would have spent. I am sure it would have been a lot!!
Shari Hollo I did that once with Kroger and saved 30 dollars.
Lately our Walmart has been whooping Aldi in prices. What I do is go to Aldi first and compare prices on the Walmart grocery app. Then I head over to Walmart to nab whatever was cheaper there. I always create my shopping list on the Walmart grocery app to make the comparison shopping easier.
I did this one time. I literally took my aldi receipt and went in food lion and wrote prices and compared and was shocked..
Great job! I’m so proud of you. You kids will grow up appreciating the simple things in life more. Rather than growing up feeling entitled. They will learn to earn.
My husband has always found grocery shopping to be very intimidating. An Aldi just opened up about a mile and a half from our house and he told me that he can absolutely grocery shop in there and not feel overwhelmed. Now if I could just get him to cook.
Even when I go nuts and splurge in Aldi my bill has never been more than $100. Love the savings!
Sorry Reese’s don’t belong in the fridge they belong in the FREEZER!!
Yes right next to the snickers
We got a good laugh when you started showing the treats you bought. This entire haul would’ve been a splurge treat for us lol
You guys have made me smile so much lately!!! You can just feel the energy and love regained in your relationship! And I love watching this journey and see how much you guys have grown! It’s amazing! And so encouraging!!!
I'm living for these vlogs. I recieved an unexpected payment today and paid off one one my lowest debts plus made the last 2 payments on my car. Got more to go but you have definitely inspired me.
Aldi doesn't put the artificial colors in their foods so it actually has better ingredients then name brand too! Win win!
I guess 150 at aldi. Try the aldi brand cheerios, amazing and so are the pizza in the box their brand in the freezer is triple the weight of the one you got. And they taste like delivery. And brownie mix specialty selected one chocolate chunk in it is amazing. They are chewy gooey brownies, some
Like drier cakeier ones which are the ones you got
Finding a way thanks for that info... the whole time i was cringing about the thought of saving money but sacrificing health
Katie your right Reese’s don’t belong in the fridge they belong in the freezer😂😂
Chaliss Spencer amen!!
Chaliss Spencer agreed!!
Long time subscriber here to say thank you. Your struggle, your life? It’s changed ours. My boyfriend and I (still not married, but some day!) should have been in crisis much sooner than we came to it. We just did the best we could to ignore it. We are in a combined $80,000 in debt, just over half of which is student loans. Up until you started posting your debt videos, we just stuck our heads in the sand and let things go to collections. Today, we downloaded EveryDollar and are going to start FPU next week. We make plenty to cover our everyday expenses, but we literally blew it on dumb stuff. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for your courage to do this series.
I wanted to let whoever reads this know before I forget- walmart brand TP is the exact same as charmin but half the cost. It's like $10 for 20 rolls?
Yes! My husband and I buy the Walmart brand and it is exactly the same. It's just under $11 for 18 mega rolls. Wich according to the package says it = 72 regular rolls.
I can already see your attitude changing. Even tho you are in debt you both seem much more happy than for the last 2 years. So fun to watch!
Well done Cullen and Katie. I’ve never shopped at Aldi, maybe I’ll give them a try. I signed up for WalMart grocery delivery. It is a splurge. I have some health/mobility issues that make trudging thru Walmart shopping for 5 adults + 1 little, getting it all home and put away pretty tough for me some days. So I find the benefit to me worth the cost of delivery. I do think I’m spending less because I’m not browsing thru Walmart, picking up this.... grabbing that..... and throwing the other.... in my cart. You guys seem so energized by all the successes you’re having along the way as you set up your budget and envelopes, sell stuff, and close the gap on getting current. It’s really great to see. I won’t speak for others but will just say I’m here to support you, not to wonder about how you spend your $, or to judge your grocery choices. I do think most subscribers feel the same way. Keep doing what you’re doing, and remember to do what you feel is best for you 2 and your 2 littles. 👍
Aldi’s dishwasher pods are my fave!! They clean our dishes so much better than anything else! Love this haul. So proud of y’all. And now you’ve got me wanting to go to ALDI and grab some of these things!
We buy bulk and eat relatively healthy, $200/month family of three and my husband eats an insane amount. We buy 90% whole foods and 10% processed. Make almost everything from scratch
Hey guys! We started our Dave Ramsey journey a couple months ago. I was on RUclips searching for tips and came across you story. I’ve never “followed” anyone on RUclips (y’all are my first “subscription” lol) and now I find myself checking almost daily for new videos! 😂
Aldi has been a life saver for us. We learned about it back when the one in Decatur, AL was the only one in this area, and we'd go once a month to restock our staples. Then we took a massive pay cut the next year, and it has been our only grocery store since. It's the only place I've been able to make feeding four people with food sensitivities on a budget of about $80 a week possible without just living on beans and cornbread.
You don't know how awesome the timing of you guys sharing your journey is for me. Hubby does most of the money stuff, but just seeing the effort towards organizing and planning ahead has been great as I'm trying to get household things more organized and get myself on a better schedule and eating better and so many things. Thanks for sharing, keep up the hard work!!!! God bless!
Anyone make sure to watch through all the ADS to feel like you're helping with the snowball payment!? Love watching this journey with you guys... so inspiring! - Megan
I’ve been watching your debt series & this is my favorite video. I love how excited y’all are about the groceries & how cheap it was! Thanks for bringing us along & being so open & honest. You’re doing such a great job. ❤️
I'm so happy for you guys tackling your budget! Feeling like you can celebrate a bit with your groceries with some easy cheap on the go options make meal prepping at home so much more enjoyable. Enjoy your brownies! Keep at it-you are an inspiration!
Can I just say, I hate that you guys are in this situation, BUT I feel like I’m watching the old Cullen and Katie. You guys actually seem happier and closer!
I know this has been a humbling and difficult time in general. But I really think you are going to look back on these days fondly..in that sweet way that doing the hard but you know right thing bonds you as a family. Keep it up, well done!
Y'all are awesome! I love that you're sharing this whole process... Cullen CRACKS me up!!! You're both so much fun to watch! 😊
I love Aldi! We're a family of 5 (my kids are 1, 3 and 5) and we shop once a week. We used to go every 2 weeks, but I found it to be cheaper going once a week (we spend around $100-$125 once a week so monthly is about $400-$500). . We go through fruit and veggies so fast so this works great for us. Plus, we meal plan one week at a time which saves us a ton of money. I recommend getting their paper towels (the ones compared to Sparkle are cheaper and just as great). I also like their disinfecting wipes. The kettle cooked jalapeno flavored chips and white cheddar popcorn are ADDICTING!!!! The pancake/sausage on a stick are also really good. They also have really good Chinese food...we love the orange chicken, pot stickers and chickn egg rolls. I have loved following along on your journey!!
It’s fun to see how excited you are about budgeting and saving on your groceries!
I freakin love Aldi. I can do a “big” trip there for like $100 and we’ve started to prefer their brand over name brand on a lot of items.
Yes I think 4000
I love there ranch dressing.. the best store brand ranch ever!
And there's quite a few products that are actually made by the same company as the name brand..just a different label
73% lean isn’t the leaner ground beef. It’s the fattiest. The highest fat content my Kroger sells is 80/20 (80% meat 20% fat) and you’re at 73% meat and 27% fat. It will make a good burger though.
Katie's about to see five lbs shrink to 2.5!
I never knew what that meant. I don't eat meat lol, but I buy my mom's groceries and do the best I can when it comes to buying meat.
Lil Kim I was thinking this too. Will be tasty!
That’s what I was thinking. I had to rewind it to make sure i heard 73% correctly. A lot of it will get drained off 😬
I was yelling at my phone when I heard that too! 🤣 If you’re cooking the meat in a slow cooker & don’t want to drain buy the 90/10. For everything else I buy 80/20 and rinse. The 73/27 is such a waste of money IMO.
I like this haul because most youtubers I see are crazy superheroes who hand-make everything and wouldn't buy it premade/frozen (like maybe the taquitos) but this is much more realistic, doing a bit of both is fine and more practical
You did so well! We have a $64 a week grocery budget for our family of 5, and we shop at ALDI almost exclusively. It’s the best!
Why am I sooo excited for this haul!!! I know you’ll have done well and it’s amazing when you are of aware of what you’re putting in the cart 🛒
The not going back until the next week has legitimately made all the difference for us. We used to spend SOOO MUCH more when we’d keep popping out for this or that all week!
I kinda feel bad ever since you opened up about the debt I’ve suddenly loved your videos again. You guys have become so relatable and open.
When I saw your instagram picture I was thinking Oh I hope she does a grocery haul!!! ❤️❤️ love the videos! WWCandKD- making me pay attention to where our $$$ is going!!!!! !!! 😂. and yes to cold chocolate!!!
I have been shopping Aldi for a couple of years now. I save about 440.00 a month! You have time to turn it around and still have a bright financial future. Bless you for being such real examples.
Suggestion: get the reusable K-cup and buy coffee in bulk ☕️🤗❤️
Kate Brotherton yes!! We do this. Sooooo much cheaper.
I was just going to comment that!
I’m a new subscriber. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. We have 3 kids and are working hard on our budget/getting out of debt and you two are making me realize how much money we have been literally throwing away.
Seriously. Thank you. 👏🏻♥️
You can buy reusable pouches from amazon to put the apple sauce in if your kids prefer the pouches. I do that for my son, especially for on the go. And it saves money!
Great idea, both $’s and planet
Are you able to clean them well? I had them for my kids and would make really nice thick green smoothies, but found that the edges were really hard to clean. I could see the darker green color stuffed deep in the sides. Maybe I just got a bad brand of them. 😅
How do you go about washing them?
Another tip for laundry is dont use fabric softener use 1/4 cup vinegar instead. It doesnt make it smell like vinegar i promise! Plus fabric softener is so bad for your washer so it might save you from having washer troubles in the future!
WE LOVE ALDIS! Great GREAT job Katie! Perhaps Cullen can think of an "inappropriate way" to reward you-reward EACH OTHER!! LOL
Much Love!! 💛💛
once you start shopping at Aldi and you get used to the way their food taste, when you try like actual Nutella or lays chips you notice how sugary and overly salty the name brand stuff is
Rocio Perez Yes! I’ve noticed that too!! My husband used to not like aldi brand chips but I just kept buying them and now he things the name brand is wayyy to salty!
Ibotta is on point this week .We ( my hubby has an account too) got 4 meals ( plant base chicken an hamburger)6 lunches( noodles) ,plus 2 keto bars we have yet to find,for freeeee this week plus Fetch has 2 free boxes cereal all we had to buy was veggies this week ! ....great haul !
Yay!!!! Love Aldi! Please keep doing aldi hauls!!!
Reese’s,KitKats, Hershey bars, kisses, all the chocolate needs to be frozen at least refrigerated!!😂😂😂😂. I totally agree Cullen!
You guys need to save for a vacuum sealer! We buy bulk meat at Costco and divide it up ourselves. The long pork loin are around $20 (CAD) and we get two “roasts” and 16 pork cutlets out of them!
We get a big beef roast and slice it into “steaks” and we also buy ground beef in bulk and divide it into portions and vacuum seal everything! We also buy a box of frozen chicken breast.
We stock up every 3-4 months. It’s so much cheaper this way and then we always have lots of options when we are planning meals.
I am loving this series and seeing you guys in this way. I used to watch a while ago but got a little bored of your channel as it was harder to relate when you bought the house and all that, but now I feel like the genuine, real you is coming out again and you seem like such a fun couple and great people! ❤️
You two are like totally different people.In an amazing kind of way.God doesn't give you anything that you cannot conquer.Look at all you've been through.Just look at it.Lol You're doing exceptional things.To your financial stability and your marriage.I love this for you both.Be blessed and be safe.
Cool I was pretty close in my total! I went for my first money envelope shopping to aldi today and only spent 72.05 and handed the cashier the $100 and he said I got .05 cents which was soo nice! Blessings come in all sizes! And we get the Kirkland and sams brand of the laundry detergent too! It’s nice for it to last a long time and it still smells good. Our kids love all there aldi treats, they have not had any problems, and I even get the organic milk for them once a week 😁
Good job guys!!!!!!! When we first moved into our new place we did a huge Aldi haul and spent like $300. We were sweating bullets waiting for the total and were presently surprised when they told us how much we owe lol you make me want to get back into couponing!
I'm really enjoying this series! Thanks so much got sharing!
We always bought the bigger rolls 5lbs to 10lbs of ground beef and split them up in like one or two pound zip lock baggies, flattened them and then froze them. You can pull them out of the freezer as you need them and they thaw quickly. Comes in handy when there is a sale.
I have been a fan since Gains was born. I’m so obsessed with these videos! It’s real life. Thanks for sharing
I am loving the more old school videos! Welcome back Katie & Cullen!! Love you guys! Cheering you on from Knoxville, Tn
If you cook up taco meat to freeze, add a can of tomato sauce and it will reheat much better.
Great tip! I also purchase family size packages of fresh chicken, then sort into zip lock bags or Glad ware, add teriyaki sauce to the bags and freeze.
The meat marinades as it freezes and when it thaws. Makes it easy to also dump in a crock pot for lazy day-
Love this tip!
Do y’all make a menu and then shop just for that? I found that helps my budget a lot. We even write breakfast and snacks do that we don’t need random trips between menu trips if that makes sense
I prefer to shop by sales ¹ meat ² produce ³ dry goods meal plan from what we have&sale! If i meal plan for pork chops & ground beef it could be reg price...reading my local grocery store ad helps if chicken is 1.29lb &ground turkey .99 lb on sale this can be better saving i never pay full price unless im at Aldi where the dry goods price are always rite 🤗
This makes such a huge difference.
Meal planning helps us so so much as well! We save a ton just from that.
Have you watched our tribe of many? They are a large family and she is the good planning queen- She even makes a weekly board listing their meal plan and snacks for her kids-
Seriously mentally I cannot go grocery shopping if I do not have a meal plan
I LOVE Aldi! We used to shop at walmart or kroger for groceries but as we have been budgeting, I realized Aldi is so much cheaper! We have saved so much money
I'm SO proud of y'all!! That's a great grocery haul! I'm proud of you for switching to liquid dishwasher detergent. Y'all are doing great! I use instant taters too for dinners. It's so much easier. They make them in boxes too. That might be cheaper in the long run. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty for doing what works for YOUR family. I love you guys and I love seeing how happy y'all are. It's so refreshing. Keep on trucking and we'll keep praying and the good Lord will keep working in our lives. We can't ask for more than that. God bless y'all. ❤
Yes!!!!!!! This is awesome! Y’all are rocking your channel lately! Love the old y’all back!
Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Reese Witherspoon, Katie? You two are just so cute together that I had to subscribe. Greetings from Ontario, Canada. That was a great haul! We don't have an Aldi here but you are so fun to watch!
Absolutley love Aldi!! Its the best place when you have a big family on a small budget!!
Great for seniors on a fixed income also.
I’ve been watching you all for a minute now, and this series is the first time I can actually relate to you! I love this series and keep it going please!
Katie- I make a yummy soup with the Rice ramen. Cook some chopped onions in a pan, then roughly chop some baby bok choy and stir fry. Also put some skinless chicken in the oven to cook. Then fill a pan with water, add some chicken boullion or veggie, the stir fried veggies, some soy sauce, some essence oil and salt and pepper to taste. Then add 3 of the Ramon cubes. Let cook for about 15 minutes. Place in a bowl And add sliced chicken on top-
I keep in the fridge and eat for several days. Hits the spot!
For coffee, you can buy reusable Keurig cups and fill them up with your own grounds. Super affordable but you can still make little individual coffees!
I did the math with bulk ingredients from costco/aldi. When you cut a pan of those brownies into 8 pieces, each brownie is only 16.5 cents! YUM.
I've bought many awesome items at Aldi but several "miss" items too, such as cereal. Amazing chocolate! You just have to take your chances. So happy to see you guys excited about savings!!
Julie Vargas my kids love tne Aldi cereal and pop tarts.
If you add shredded cheese to the Mac & cheese after you cook it, it makes it extra cheesy like it’s the expensive brand. 😂 Aldi is my fave!!
Long time fan here since the Tallahassee days but I just wanted to say that you’re so inspiring!!💕
I'm really enjoying these videos! They are so genuine and I'm learning ways I can cut costs! Thanks for sharing!
Love me some Aldi! Also- bake those brownies just before your next house showing. I saw on hgtv that having the home baked goody smell in your house can actually help sell it!
I've been enjoying this latest series and y'all are brave for putting such a personal journey out there.
Love grocery hauls!! 🙌🙌 I love comparing prices! I shop at our commissary and then what isn’t cheaper there I go to Walmart! YALL DID SO GOOD!!!!
I just bought groceries. Spent $230 for 4 weeks worth of groceries for a family of 4 from Walmart.
Bouillon cubes will help save money in the future for broth! Also check if you have Walmart grocery. There’s usually $10 off.
How lovely to have treats and know you have budgeted for them. So much more enjoyable! 👍
I always calculate when going round supermarket but now I go ‘old school’ and keep track on paper as I wiped the calculator accidentally too many times. 🤦♀️
Today while I was at the store I picked up something I didn’t need. I then thought Katie and Cullen would say that’s wasteful spending and I put it back! Thank you for helping me stick to my budget! Your vlogs are great!
Aldi grapes in the freezer! Yum for a healthy snack. Oh, and mashed bananas and freeze. Healthy ice cream
For laundry detergent you’ll want to price per wash load rather than per ounce. Some brands are 2 or 3 times more concentrated so they only use 1 oz. per load, others use several ounces so you’re paying for extra water and giant containers.
I work at a grocery store, the biggest & most expensive in town. I get a 10% discount but still shop at Aldi for most of my groceries. It’s still less even with the discount. Great haul! The hash brown patties are really good,the take and bake pizza for $5 is delicious and you can freeze them for later use.
Y’all are doing so amazing!! I am so happy and proud of y’all! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing the haul with us Katie! WOW that's ALOT of food! I love Aldi! ❤
Thank yall for this. Loving these videos. Helping my family and I a bunch.
GREAT JOB!!! I make my own laundry soap now... it comes out to about $1.28 a gallon... YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT. LOL
I don’t have time to watch tonight, will while I’m getting ready in the morning, but had to stop in and say you finally rubbed off on me enough 😂 Downloaded a budgeting app this afternoon and couldn’t wait to get through bedtime with the kids so I could sit down and crunch numbers! Even talked through it with my husband after he got home from work to get us on the same page. #DebtFree💪🏼
Our Aldi has 96 coffee pods for 25 dollars and it tastes good. They don't always have it but when they do it is a great deal
yesss coupons! katie i remember you saying you used to coupon way back when.. i’ve always been so confused on how those people do it and get a “stockpile”
I always put Reese's in the fridge 😋🙃
Definitely cook up the hamburger and freeze it, your future self will thank you!! Lol
My best tip is I do one weekly grocery trip. I also make my meal plan list while I’m hungry so that we have good food, but then eat lunch before I go so I won’t be tempted to buy anything extra 😂 I stick to my list, and only go once a week which saves a ton of money on produce and meat going bad before we can eat it. I only buy stuff for breakfast, lunch, and the ingredients for the meals I’ve planned out. It works well! I don’t get how people don’t meal plan 😂
I am loving your new videos and the grocery haul👍. You are killing it and love to see the happier you! (Both)
To cut cost on cleaning supplies for my sinks, tubs, showers and toilets I use Tide washing powder for 19 dollars a box. It lasts me 6-9 months and it actually cleans better than anything else I have used. It is nice not having to buy so much cleaning products a month.
I am loving this series from you guys. I wish you didn’t have to go through this but I
So glad you are helping others along the way. My husband and I are also on a debt free journey. His ex stepdad say passed away last year and my husband was left an inheritance. It’s given us a fresh start and a new look at financial responsibility. Still paying off some debt but we are learning to be more financially responsible. I’m inspired by your story and thank you for sharing. Also I live in New Mexico and so wish I had an Aldi! I can not buy groceries for that price here lol much love to you guys.
I love you guys! I’m rooting for you in your debt free journey. We typically brown all our hamburger and shred all the extra chicken breasts for tacos and freeze it. That really does make a fast meal any time! Please let us know how the brownies turn out. Great haul!
Watching this video reminds me of how my mom used to go shopping. She'd have a list and her calculater and budget what she'd get. That's the one thing I've taken with me as I've grown up. It's actually helped. Although it's kind of hard when your with someone who grew up very different then you. However I have taught him how to budget when we had hard times. I'm liking your budget stuff. I'm going to be using some of your tips. I love how your being so honest with your viewers, I'm sure it's not easy.
Love this and I can see your positivity and light sparking up with every video especially this one! Great video guys 😊
Aldi is wonderful!!! We save SO much money by shopping there. Just read on the news that Aldi is going completely preservative free in the near future so it saves money and is healthy.
Omg, I am just loving y'all. I use to watch a few years ago, and it just seemed so... Idk, just didn't catch on to y'all anymore and now it's just so fun to watch! Like I constantly find myself looking in the subscriptions to see if y'all uploaded. Keep up the amazing work guys!
Food saver vacuum sealer will keep your food fresher longer. We go to a local butcher and get our meats for the month and freeze it. It’s cheaper and fresher than the grocery store.
We stopped eating out often 3 years ago. Now when we do go to a restaurant, it’s super special for the kids. They get very excited!
Also, Aldi has a new limited edition dill pickle flavored popcorn. Might make for a fun movie night. #cheapfamilyfun
I'm a huge nerd when it comes to budgets etc so these videos are right up my alley. :)
Little tip, if you want it to be leaner, just cook it up and when it’s just brown strain off the excess grease in the pan and there you have it. Lean ground meat.
