Saves a little extra money, food is cleaner and it tastes better.

    I'm sticking to about 450 a month for my family of 3 for food and 75 a month for household supplies. I'm gearing up for the summer stock ups, especially on the meat deals as we get into grilling season and all the summer holidays. I often take an extra 20-50 bucks a month to stock up my freezers and pantry when there are big sales. From May to September, those deals tend to be on meats. My FoodSaver gets hauled out to seal small portions of steaks, pork chops, ground meat, fish, chicken breasts, lamb, etc. to use through the winter months. It keeps me from over-spending in the meat department all year. I do something similar when beef roasts, pork loins, pork shoulders, turkeys, and hams go on sale during the holidays. Right now, I have a few roasts left to use for slow cooker dishes over the summer and as I build my summer food stocks, but this practice has helped me keep our household budget for groceries and household goods at $450-500 per month without too much sacrifice in the meat department. This year, we are also doing a couple of small garden beds for tomatoes, zucchini and yellow squash, loose leaf lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, and radishes to help spread our dollars at the store since these produce items feature heavily in our diets. Since I will be helping out a family member by watching her daughter this summer, I thought a garden would be fun for she and my son (both 7 and best friends) to help grow food, not to mention the educational experience of learning more about food and gardening.

    We are participating in a no meat buying challenge for 6 months in order to rotate our freezer. So far so good.
    For the breakfast, I cooked up a ton of bacon & sausage in the oven. The bacon was wrapped in parchment and put in ziplock, the sausage was vacuumed. They are in the freezer. A few seconds in the microwave and they are ready to go. I made breakfast for dinner this week. 30ish seconds for the bacon and a few minutes scrambling eggs, toast and done.

    I often make muffins before we leave for camping breakfasts. Or we do granola bars. Both don't need heated up. If I have cooler options, then yogurt and granola is a good option. I've been told getting dry ice for your cooler keeps everything cold much much longer. So if you're doing extended camping, that might be a good option if you want to keep things cold. Finally, if I'm okay with at least starting a fire (but not really tending food on it), I sometimes do pre-made breakfast burritos wrapped in foil. Throw them into the coals and let them warm up.

    Grocery tip: When buying bagged lettuce, spinach, etc. weigh it first, or at least heft it in your hand. I've noticed a big difference sometimes in what a bag is marked for weight and what a scale in produce reads. Wal-Mart by me has gotten crazy expensive with everything. A very nice grocery store by me has been cheaper for a long time now, not cheap, but cheaper.

    Still buying the local eggs from my farmer friend for $7 per dozen. I am in Canada and our grocery prices are way higher. I’m sure you’ve heard this multiple times. There’s only two if us, I’m 61 and hubby is 64, we have started a veggie garden (although the raised beds he built were very expensive), and have limited eating out. I’m also working on not wasting food. I don’t stock pile food much, and have a small freezer as we don’t buy much meat. I have no idea what I spend a month for groceries, but it’s probably at least $600 a month, including cleaning products and t.p. etc.

They tend to be pricey and less nutritious so they are gone. I work from home & LOVE my crock pot as well as my Ninja oven. Little changes saved over $300 in May🎉

For lunch big fans of a simple charcuterie board. Think lunchables plus fun add ons like olives and peppers stuffed with cheese. Super simple. Fast. Delicious

      We're doing so bad grocery shopping. Soooo bad. There are 6 of us (ages 42, 40, 23, 20, 17, and 7). There are extenuatuating circumstances. Most of us are grown, and our middle 2 are on the spectrum so they have sensory issues. Our 17 year old is severely autistic and very lactose intolerant. Most of us are to a much lesser extent. The only specialty stuff I buy for that is a frozen pizza for our pizza Saturdays (plus a couple regular) and a couple cartons weekly of lactose free great value milk. We also have a few allergies and sensitivities. My husband and I both work full time. I work from home to be here for my school age childdren and children with special needs, but I work multiple jobs. Time and energy lead ne to rely on convenience items a lot. I also don't drive because of a vision issue, so I go grocery shopping every Saturday on a schedule. My husband gets any fill in stuff that we need otherwise. I do buy all household stuff in with the groceries but I'm spending like $400 a week at the very least. I know some of it is that I just can't cook everything from scratch and some is our situation and some is I just need to buckle down and do better.

    I refuse to make my grocery budget higher, so I just get more creative in what I make and how I buy. Kids are getting less cereal and more oatmeal for breakfasts, we do use slightly less meat in a lot of meals or I find I switch the protein to something cheaper. I am far more conscious of leftovers now, and if they're not eaten the next day they get frozen to be repurposed later.

    I've been able to keep my grocery costs low by using food waste prevention apps (I use foodhero and flashfood) in order to buy foods that I proceed to freeze afterwards. The foods are usually between 30% to 80% off, depending on how close they are to their date. I also started going to the bulk food store more often to fill up my jars. For example, I got a cup worth of bay leaves for 0.83$ CAD!! (Probably around 0.50-0.65$ USD). That amount of bay leaves would likely cost 8-10$ in here.
    In my case, the more environmentally-friendly options turn out to be my best money savers 😊 I'm hoping to start a little balcony garden in my appartment soon, but we'll see how that goes.

    Eggs in my part of Az is $6.78 for a 60ct. I’m so glad that I have a store up the street that’s a combo of family dollar & dollar tree so it seems like everything is on sell. There’s also a $.99 cent store that even sells produce. Other than produce, eggs, & every day condiments I don’t buy food anymore since I’m doing a kitchen/pantry clean out. I’ve been doing it since Christmas, it was my New Year’s resolution to clean it out. As for camping I recommend hobo packs. It’s basically your favorite sheet pan meals folded in foil.

    We usually have fried sausage and potatoes for dinner one night. I pre-chop the potatoes before the trip and store them in water. I always make extra, so the next moring start to reheat the sausage & potatoes, then add scrambled eggs in it. Put it in a tortilla add whatever toppings and we're good. This may be more that some want to do, but just putting it out there. I've actually preped potatoes to send with my hubby for hunting. He hasn't been able to go for a few years, i miss Venison 😢

    11:10 Thanks to you I’m exploring beans 😁
    So far, I only knew green beans and kidney beans. I also never had beans with rice before and I‘m really loving it.
    I had leftover Pinto beans, red lentils and Beluga lentils sitting in my pantry so I threw them into a pot with tomato sauce, taco seasoning and spices last weekend. I had a ton to freeze and I’m planning to use it as a stew, over rice or as a soup ☺️

    I love meal prepping before we go on vacation. I usually make breakfast burritos or breakfast sandwiches and freeze them. Then we just throw them in the microwave in the morning. We also do lots of freezer meals that we can throw in the crockpot for dinners. We can put them in the crockpot in the morning and they are ready for dinner when we get home from our daily adventures. It makes vacay so much easier and I don't spend half of my vacation worrying about what we are going to eat.

    for my grocery habits, I've been using a lot of your tips, and I definitely started leaning more vegetarian. (I love tofu, so i already had that going for me.) I tried premaking my black beans a couple weeks ago instead of using the cans, and they were incredible! I made a whole bag without realizing how many beans that would be, which was really something because I'm only cooking for one. I used them in rice bowls and then I made some taquitos, but I STILL have some stored away

    Camping food 101. The week before you leave meal prep all your food and freeze! Then use what thaws first! For a trip to the lake, tent camping for 5 days for 6 people I made 18 breakfast burritos, 12 breakfast sandwiches, and five 2 gallon freezer bags with pork chili verde, beef stew, green chile chicken, loaded baked potato soup and chicken and shrimp jambalaya. We have a giant Yeti cooler and we actually had to take stuff out to thaw because the Yeti keeps everything frozen! Also packed 2 loaves of bread, lunch meat, sliced cheeses and mustard so we could make sandwiches to take down to the beach with us, or in our packs if we were hiking or biking. Our giant cast iron pot is awesome to cook dinner in on the fire at night when it cools down!

    There is just my husband and I, but I still stock my fridge with chicken when it goes on sale since it's pretty much the only meat we eat. As for the rest, I just fill in weekly with fresh veggies that are in season and on sale. I'm also big into coupons and rebate apps so we still do pretty well with the price increases.

    I went to Smith’s and got so lucky! Found so many markdowns that I couldn’t resist. I found lots of meats, and some produce for our tortoises. Came home and repacked everything with my food saver and now we are stocked up for a few months!

    • @micahmiller5923
      @micahmiller5923 11 месяцев назад

      I love Smith's/Kroger for the deals! It isn't always the lowest price for non-sale items, but the markdowns, case-lot sales, and weekly digital deals are amazing! I take advantage of the big deals, especially on meats, and pick up 2-3 value packs every 2-3 weeks, break them down into smaller portions for my family of 3, and vacuum seal them with my Food Saver. Summer months are fantastic for getting the best deals on steaks, chicken, pork chops and ribs, and ground meat. In the fall and winter, I take advantage of the deals on roasts, turkeys, and hams this way and vacuum seal them into smaller roasts if needed.

    When I was growing up we always did boxed cold cereal with milk when we were camping. With fruit like oranges or bananas served on the side. If mom was feeling really fancy, she might serve a quick hot breakfast of pancakes or oatmeal.Oatmeal can be made even faster if you just boil a pot of water and mix with the instant packets.

    Hi Christine & family! I have Freddie’s near me and I finally was able to get my hands on marked down flat breads so I had pepperoni at home and got some inexpensive pizza sauce. Oh my! Those flatbread pizzas were a hit! I didn’t try it since I’m celiac but my whole family loved them! Thank you so much for your videos! Much love to you and your family ❤️ I’m still keeping my eye out for those Mark downs.

    Several years ago my family, living in Michigan, went to Hell, MI. It was fourth of July and I swear it was in the 30’s at night. In a tent? Mom and I got in the back of their station wagon and covered up. Mom gave Dad an ultimatum that if we were it was going in something with heat. Long story short they went from slide in to a 40’ fifth wheel and living in it full time. My husband and I joined them when I retired. Loved it but couldn’t afford it today.😮

    I raised 4 boys that loved the outdoors. One of our favorite quick treats while camping… I mixed up a double batch of banana bread. Thinned the batter a bit and made waffles. My boys loved them as well as whatever kid showed up at our tent. (Yes, back in those days a tent and campfire cooking was as fancy as it got)

    We went camping over memorial day. We took our metal tea kettle and boiled water on the camp stove, then we transferred it to a pot on the second burner of the camp stove and we made.... OATMEAL!!! it was amazing. Oatmeal + cinnamon + brown sugar + fuji apple chunks was delicious!! (we also had raisins and chocolate chips and butter and salt for others). We made breakfast for 15ish people by this method of cooking oatmeal AND my husband made scrambled eggs on the second camp stove. Juice and milk for drinks. it was DELICIOUS!

  • @cmcradduck
    @cmcradduck 11 месяцев назад

    For camping it depends if you're willing to heat up stuff or not. I prep & pre-plan my meals since we tent thus have limited refrigeration. Breakfast no heat = cereal, banana bread, hard boiled eggs and fruit (fresh/tinned). Heat = breakfast burritos, coffee/tea/hot chocolate. Lunches are usually sandwiches = PB&J, canned ham, BLTs (use fully cooked bacon). If I have heat = tinned soup or chili, hot dogs. For dinner, we always have heat so it's anything under the sun. Typically burgers, hot dogs, ribs, foil pack veggies. We've even done pasta when we're with family since it feeds a lot of people easily.

  • @MsJoLollipop
    @MsJoLollipop 11 месяцев назад

    When we camp, I make breakfast burritos ahead of time that we can warm up. Breakfast cookies, energy balls, granola bars, and fruit are always standby options for days we don't want to heat anything. Lunches are always some sort of wrap or sandwich. Tuna salad packs easily, I'll bake a ham and make ham and cheese sandwiches that can be eaten hot or cold, things like summer sausage or pepperoni purchased from the shelf can be packed outside a cooler and used in wraps or eaten on crackers.
