My creativity, and flexibility with cooking really improved a few years ago when I had to rely on a foodbank . You never knew what you would get because they had fresh, packaged, and refrigerated as well as a few frozen items. However, they always had large # of families, and singles to feed. Not knowing what ingredients you would have to work with made menu making impossible but it was the best lesson. It taught me to be inventive creating new recipes, and extremely frugal as I learned to stretch those ingredients. I will always be grateful to those who donated and now I am able to be the one who helps. :)
I love your videos easy down to earth meals and saving ideas and I’ve been cooking and freezing left overs into individual meals for my husband and myself ! Also found the area in our grocery store for reduce meat and dry goods I didn’t even know about ! Thank you for your time for us to make meals learned so much ❤️
Usually Market Basket has the reduced meats on top of the fresher meats so people pick them up faster. Stop & Shop and Shaws are the same way. Depending on how busy the store is you may have to go right when the store opens to get some of deals because they're scooped up fast.
The aged kerrygold cheddar is our favorite too. Last week i made the mexican rice it was a huge hit. Can't wait to make some of these recipes from this video
Another great presentation! Thank you! I'm wondering about the song played at the end of your videos, Maria. What is the name of the song and the artist?
You can speed up your caramelization of your onions by chopping your onions and tossing them with a bit of oil in a bowl and sticking them in your microwave for about 6 minutes stir them up and do another two minutes and then throw them in the frying pan.
Just a quick question here. My partner and I don't care for cilantro. We are unfortunately some that taste soap and metal. What would you use instead? I've heard coriander is part of the same plant, so could ground coriander work or just parsley for the color pop? Thank you. Thank you for sharing as well.
The Walmart in my small town has a little section near the yogurt and milk section that has reduced bread/cinnamon rolls/etc. they are marked down super cheap and they expire the same day but I like to freeze them. That’s the way to do it for sure! We also have a “go grocery” outlet where I live and we can get foods reduced very cheap. You have to check the dates but since we got a deep freezer it’s been a lifesaver and a big money saver! 🎉
A patty melt around here you have to have a patty melt sauce, have you ever tried it? It's so GOOD. Sometimes I don't have time to cook down the onions and used french fried onions ;) I'm also surprise at your clearances. I have never seen anything like you got on clearance other than breads/bakery items.
Always so many great ideas!

Love these clearance videos!! I don’t mind the kiddos 😊 Like you said “it’s life”
Love all your videos! I look every day to see if you've posted....your boys are so precious ♥️♥️♥️
I cook 2x what I need when I cook rice and freeze quarts. Works!
I am so excited to find a RUclipsr who is in my general area, using stores found in my general area.
I’m assuming each Market Basket is different, but where do you find the reduced price items in your store?
Usually Market Basket has the reduced meats on top of the fresher meats so people pick them up faster. Stop & Shop and Shaws are the same way. Depending on how busy the store is you may have to go right when the store opens to get some of deals because they're scooped up fast.
I have learned to shake my Burgers according to what kind of bread amusing( round, square, or oblong)
Makes sense!!
You had me at patty melt!
Thank you for the video!
It’s crazy to think that Ben is walking! It seems like you just had him a couple months ago! Time flies when you’re having fun! 😂
I would have loved to see more of Bed walking
I love finding deals on clearance items and using them to stock up my prepping pantry, and freezer.
The best!
The aged kerrygold cheddar is our favorite too.

Those patty melts look amazing! I love patty melts ❤ I’ve never tried double toasting the bread, that seems like a game changer!

I always buy minute rice when it is on sale for nights I just don't have time. Would rather have super quick rice than give in to take out.
I buy clearance items a lot. Clothing too. Not just food.
Absolutely!!
Great sale shopping! Yummy recipes.
He's walking 🚶 🤗

My mom does not put potatoes in the stew and then serves the stew over mashed potatoes.
Hi Maria 👋
Hi!!
.99 for a whole 5 or 10 pound bag? That's awesome. I'm not on IG so I didn't see the story. Are you comfortable saying what state and store?
5lbs!
As long as the taters aren't green it's a good deal.
@@Devilduckie73081 and you can cut the green parts off
