ABOUT ME: Hi everyone! My name is Abby and I am a working mom living in Texas with my husband, Trey. We have three kids named Truett, Vera and Sybil. We live a very hectic and busy life trying to balance kids, family time, housework, and working full-time. I thrive on DIY projects, saving money, and anything homemade. My hope is to share with you an honest glimpse of our life. Thank you for taking the time to watch. :) Leave me a comment and share! xoxo
Hi guys! Where are you tuning in from today?? Thanks for stopping by!
Michigan
Hamilton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks for coming!
Welcome!!
Texas
I wish there had been these videos 16 years ago when I was feeding a family of 3 on like 25 a week! While the meals may not be the most nutritious (in some people's opinions), a lot of people do not have the privilege of worrying about the nutritional aspect of meals; they're worried about putting food in their babies' bellies. So thank you for these types of videos!!
I very much agree! Some times you just gotta feed your family
I agree 100% I feed a family of 5 kids and 2 adults.
Isn't that the truth?! My kids are all grown now but I had 2 years in a row where I only had between 10 & 25 dollars a week to feed them. While working full time and doing the best I could to keep a roof over our heads. Lots of macaroni and butter and toast for breakfast. Very difficult times financially yet they survived and appreciate all that they have today. These types of videos would have been a life saver for me!
Word Christina! Yes, $25- a week. Those were the days, and sometimes still are in my house! The 99cent store was a lifesaver!
@@robina1147 Wow Robin. I don't know how you did it on $10 a week. $25-$40 was about my lowest. You should write a book or start a blog or something. What else did you make that was a staple dinner/lunch in your home?
For greasing pans, I save the butter papers in a little Ziploc bag in my fridge or freezer. My grandma used to do it!
Holy cow that’s brilliant!
I always scraped mine but that's a really good idea. My mom was depression era kid, she taught me a lot of little saving tips. Thanks Momma!!!
When we were in a top financial situation I knew exactly how to feed my family. For any of you who have kids like mine who are gluten/enriched foods, dairy-free (mine break out in eczema) know that Latin recipes are super friendly and inexpensive. Not just Mexican food (we are not all Mexican), but in general our pollo guisado, rices, plantains and much more can go a long way.
hahaha totally agree! latin recipies are design to feed big families
My daughter is gluten and enriched intolerant and broke out into hives. I had to make two separate meals, one that she can have and one my husband would actually eat because he's a big cry baby when it comes to food. Of he could have his way, he'd eat burgers and milkshakes for the rest of his life
So right. And their are gluten free(most). Also, ASian food are great for big family meals. I would buy more ground meat, eggs and veggies. Frozen veggies work wonderful. Or when they have veggies on sale, buy and cut them up and put them in the freezer. They work great for fast meals.
@Rachael Shayna Nelson I did. She's living on her own now, so my house doesn't have to do it everyday anymore.
We always use cooked lentils in our spaghetti sauce. Texture similar to meat, absorbs flavor well, adds way more nutrition/fiber, and cuts the cost drastically.
I do the same thing! Such a cheap nutritious alternative. 💚
I prefer meat, lots of lean ground beef, I don't have it often so it's fine.
I recently tried this, and it was a total success. I have a houseful of picky eaters, and they didn't even notice the difference. I do still use some meat but have cut it by 1/2.
We go meat free pretty often for budget and environmental reasons. I love this idea. Meat is a treat at our house.
@@d-meth I think everyone knows about meat already. It's an alternative, if you read their comment. Also when you have kids, you're eating spaghetti A LOT.
The amount of self control you have when you add cheese to things is something I aspire to have! 😂
Had to come back and say I added everything to my Walmart cart and with tax the total is $60.04! I live in Southern Alabama, and this has been the most accurate meal plan and price for me so far. I know it varies based off where people live, but I am so excited.
Wow how amazing!! I’m so glad to hear it
She's feeding five people for two weeks for $60. You can't be picky, lol.
Woohoo! Good job
@@wendymcbridemarinecorpscom8811 not everyone has the choice
Did you add milk
When I had teenagers I used to cook pasta and add in onion, bell pepper cooked with hillshire farms sausage, diced up. After cooking the sausage with the veggies it made a very hearty meal mixed with pasta. Easy to scale up to feed a large crowd.
You may already know this but just in case as an FYI the reason for adding the sweetener into the bread is not to actually sweeten the bread it's so the yeast will activate and work
But it does sweeten the bread??
Water does it too
I know it's been 8 months but I just wanted to say even with our inflation my total came out to $58.20 bought what she did at Walmart. I'm in the Midwest definitely depends on where you live for the prices.
I would love to see this same video done this year for a price comparison. I know prices vary a little from our Walmart in southern IL, because even a year ago, I don’t think our prices were as low as yours, but it would still be interesting to see the difference in price from a year ago.
I just wanna say.. I know you said you wanted to lose the last 5-10 pounds after Sybil but I think you look amazing. Such a great example of a healthy strong body that has had 3 babies!
THANK YOU!! reading this while sitting at a water park with my kids and wishing I looked better. Thanks for the kind words. Helped me get out of my funk
I am thanking God that my budget has never been so tight. I also learned to cook from a very frugal Mom.
Good job, but the pasta was cheaper because the bow ties were only 12 ounces as opposed to the rotini which was 16 ounces. I've always noticed that i get less when I buy bow ties.
Bow ties look prettier though 😊 The price we pay for beauty.
The macaroni box was $.82 and it was 32 ounces as well
Oxo makes the best meat smasher tool, raw meat doesn’t stick to it so you don’t have to keep touching it and contaminating your fingers.
Sesame oil and sesame seeds will make your fried rice more flavorful! Loved your video! Christine sent me!
Yum!!
Great video. FYI on Pasta? I buy Ramon noodle soups (box of 12) for 2.27 and use them WITHOUT using the little packet inside and Viola, Spaghetti for so much cheaper and I personally LOVE the thin pasta :) And it takes NO time at all to cook :)
And it cuts the electricity you need to cook just the spaghetti noodles. Great idea! 👍
As a family of 5, my family eats sausage potatoes and onion fried like that at least once a week! I add garlic powder and onion powder too! The kids love it 💜
Mine love it too! It is so yummy that way
Watching your cutting board move when you're cutting on it gives me the heebie-jeebies! SUGGESTION! Put a wet paper towel, or damp cloth (like a hand towel) underneath and it won't move! This also helps with cutting boards that are old and starting to bow/warp. You could also purchase some of that no-slip-grip shelf liner, too, but I find a paper towel/hand towel works just as well, for free.
Thanks for the tip. I have heard it many times before 🤣
I use a microfiber cloth or dish towel. Works like a charm.
You can tell you devoted a lot of time to make this video! Well done and love seeing the kiddos!
Thank you so so much!!
Thanks for the tips. Potatoes are the workhorse for streching meals. They can even be made into pasta and deserts. Potato flour donuts can rock your world. Potato flour can thicken your sauces and gravies. A rasper, zester, mortise and pestile will precess food the old traditional way. Sugar in water will make a simple syrup. Machedamia nuts make a good tasting blender nut milk. Eggs can make a no flour cake and breads.
Can even make bread with potatoes
Macadamia nuts are I think the most expensive nuts though
Did this, yall it works AND with only 2 of us in the house. $60 goes so far!! Recipes are delightful as well
Love how you made bread with your hands and not a fancy mixer. I don’t bake enough to purchase one, plus I like saving money…coming up you from so. cali…thank you☮️
I follow both you and christine! So cool my favorites collaborated!
So awesome right?!? Thanks for stopping by!
Yes two of my favorites ❤️❤️❤️
Try adding some cabbage a bit of picante to your potatoe and sausage mix….yum
Great prices at your stores!! Plus, your top is really cute 😜
Thank you!!!
Christine are you gonna try out that copper so you can stop crying ;-)
Hi Christine!!
@@doveandolive1153 super tempting!!! 😜
I come over from Frugal fit mom
I also wish I’d had people to show recipes in the days when I had three children then my husband and self.
I really wasn’t much of a cook, my poor family had lots of pasta mixed and baked with chicken or hamburger
They like it I guess, never had leftovers, now the boys are grown, so they get all kinds ,of meals, they married good cooks. Looks so easy to cook, but now I don’t have anyone here to cook for, but I love watching you ladies
With all these delicious recipes. I like to try cooking some times. You are really great, I love watching.👍👍♥️
The potato and sausage skillet is great with a can of green beans tossed in there, along with some seasoned salt 😋
Great job!
Oh yum!! That sounds wonderful!
@@thesimplifiedsaver7052 You can add some cream and serve with a fried egg. In Sweden we call this pyttipanna (mix in a skillet) and it is usually served with pickled beet rooth.
The macaroni noodles were a few cents more but it looks to be a 32 ounce box rather than the two 12 ounce boxes of bow tie pasta you got.
The potatoes and sausage dish reminds me of my dads camp fire burritos! He used a smoked sausage, potatoes, onions, peppers and eggs to make camp fire breakfast burritos, over an open flame and in a cast iron skillet. Topped with cheese and salsa. So gooood!! I still make these, just in my house and not on an open fire lol 😉
Thanks for sharing💜
Sounds wonderful and tasty!
With the diced potatoes and sausage, instead of cheese I add whisked eggs and scramble it all together. Family loves it for dinner.
Wow, the price difference between where you are and here (New Brunswick, Canada) is mind blowing... most is minimum twice the cost to triple (if not more)
Love the video, so many great ideas for my next grocery day shopping!
Girl you need to season that cast iron pan again. Stops all that sticking. I found a lot of wet foods like gravy will cause that or washing with soap !! Good job on the cooking !!!
Wow this is so helpful thank you! Can you do a video on vegetarian meals on a budget? We are a meat free large family and it’s quite difficult for me to shop on a budget. I’m trying to watch a lot of budgeting videos though so I can do better and save money!
If you keep a wet paper towel or wash cloth on your cutting board as you chop onions you won’t cry. The acid in onions is attracted to moisture , that’s why it bothers your eyes.
I'm in awe that you get your kids to eat these things. Just in awe.
I agree!! Mine are so picky. Trying to get them into eating healthier.
If they don’t like it I bribe them with candy 🤪
Really? To me this is kid food
If you’re in a pinch and want some semi Mexican taco night you can do potato tacos.
Boil then smash potatoes with salt and cheese (any kind you have in hand)
Add about 2-3 tablespoons of it into a corn tortilla and fry. Top with sour cream, lettuce and any salsa.
My kids all love it and it’s super inexpensive
I agree about boiled hot dogs. My parents always made them that way when I was a kid and the thought of them just makes me gag... *hot dog water* gag gag. Same reason I cannot eat boiled chicken or really chicken on the bone. I love the breakfast casserole idea and think the smell of peppers and onions is one of the best smells.
Lol yes 🤣🤣🤣no for the hotdog water
We cook hotdogs in the toaster oven. They come out much better.
@@rebeccarollet8043 you can just fry them too (make sure to cut slits)
There shall be no crying in this gals kitchen! 😃💯🍞🧀
I’m so glad you uploaded this video. My family were just discussing how to afford things after meals and with your assistance of things, this will be useful to help feed my household. A few things will change of course because of picky eaters, my dad, brother, and sibling for one, and I’m on a certain diet so ima have to separate some things from the carb inducing stuff. But besides that, this will help so much for making budget meals for my home
Stay strong and god speed!
I hope you find it helpful :) thanks for watching!
Its great you (both) choose to shop at stores your viewers would typically shop at. Makes it even more convenient !
Thank you 🥰
Walmart has a bag of frozen Italian meatballs for around $5. I get 4 different dinners of spaghetti out of one bag. Also if you like mushrooms, keep an eye out for fresh ones marked down and use that as a protein!
I love those ideas!
Excellent!
I love watching your old videos!!!! Your children have grown up on u tube!!!! ❤ so adorable!!!!❤🎉
Our food prices in 🇨🇦 are INSANE! So jealous!
I just came here to say the same thing. Why is it so much more here?
My mother and I used to save the butter wrappers to use to grease our baking pans
I wish groceries were that cheap where I live. Very rarely is anything under $1 at my local stores.
You don't have Walmart
@@raquellambropoulos279 theres a few but not local to me.
Good video. You should do this exact grocery haul today to compare prices to a year ago. I wonder how much more it would be.
Add cabbage to you sausage and potatoe meal and it will bulk it up.
OH YUM!!!!! I absolutely love cabbage
These were great tips! Thanks I accidentally clicked on this too I just spent 300$ for a family of 4 I am embarrassed now
As a single mother, I will definitely be subbing to you and watching ALL your videos! 🥰 Looking to save money in every way that I can!
One way we save for pasta is using sausage over beef. I use onion, garlic, zucchini, and tomatoes, a jar of sauce, 2/3 cup water and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste to 1lb of pasta. We also do the same over rigatoni and add cheese and bake it!
I am so excited for this ! Also, I've got my budget ready for June using the every dollar app you spoke about in BFA. I can't begin to tell how much your academy has helped my family get back on track. You are simply amazing for pulling that together for us !
I am so happy to hear this! thank you for sharing this with me and I hope you enjoy the video
Thank you so much for the bread recipe! A little over a year ago I started trying to make bread and every single time it didn’t turn out. I had pretty much given up. But today tried your recipe as one last ditch effort to make bread and it turned out great the first time. Every other recipe was so much more complex and impossible to pull off
Abby know what I do a lot to stretch food. My family can never finish a pot of chili so I add a little sugar to it and make spaghetti out of it lol. Or chili Mac and cheese.
Ever steam hotdogs???
Wow that is such a good tip! Thank you so much for sharing
You can also make tater tot casserole with left over chili! Pour the chili in the bottom of a casserole dish cover with tater tots (or other veggie tot of choice) and then top with cheese. Just cook according to the tots' directions. My kids love it!
@@amandaribofpalmetto Great ideas. 🙂
I make chili cheese fries two days later and it’s always a crowd pleaser.
Christine sent me here!! So glad I found another page similar to hers - I’ve watched legitimately every single video she’s posted 😂 Excited to binge yours!!!
Christine sent me, and I'm glad I came! Thanks for the great ideas!
Hello!! Welcome to my channel!
I love Christine's recipes too.
The water should be at a rapid boil before adding the pasta. And you made many Italians weep by breaking the pasta.
Hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿, I have been watching both you and Christine for ages. Although food is more expensive here, I get alot of ideas from you both. Love your channels.
Thank you for being a follower!
Just an FYI for you. You can make homemade sauce for less than buying jar sauce.
Very true. And it's super easy.
This video is really in depth and the food actually looks great.
The potato, sausage and cheese casserole looks wonderful. I have all the ingredients so today for dinner.
PSA.. the bowties were less because it's 12oz vs 16oz for elbow or rotini
You and Christine give the best ideas
Great video. It's true what they say. You pay for the brand name. My mom worked for a macaroni company in Chicago Heights. They would make x amount name brand and then x amount of another brand. Same macaroni. I shop the same way. Great job 👍
When you check eggs for cracks, don’t just open the top and look. Move each egg with your hand. If they all move then your probably good. If the egg is stuck in place, like it’s glued down, it’s probably cracked.
good tip!
Sue here: excellent meal ideas. I love making homemade bread too. Can't wait to make your recipe. Please please, dear, add a green to your meals, like a simple salad or even baby spinach. Fresh fruit would go perfect with the breakfast casserole. Love your calm way ... looking forward to next video. 👍💚
Not everyone can afford it
Frozen veggies are only a few dollars at walmart can veggies are 50 cents. Fresh fruit is expensive but bananas 55 cents a pound.
@@raquellambropoulos279 not everything is expensive, cherries are expensive but strawberries aren't.
Cucumbers are cheap and mixed with sour cream/Greek yoghurt, salt and pepper make a great side dish, carrots and apples are cheap and if you shred and mix them, add some sugar, salt and pepper you have a nice side dish, there's a ton of simple cheap nutritious things like that.
And yeah, frozen is always better than canned. You can even freeze your own. I do that with herbs, they last a really long time and therfore seem cheap (I used to think they're expensive because they go bad quickly and I ended up tossing them) 🤷🏼♀️
@@d-meth my toddlers go through fruit really really quickly, so I have to be super strategic about what I buy. Even strawberries are a treat in our house because they’ll be gone in a day. So I buy a big bag of apples, clementines only when they’re in season (because they’re cheaper then), and bananas and that’s pretty much it for fruit. During summertime I’ll get a watermelon because they’re cheaper then. But most people can afford fruit if they’re strategic. And you’re right. Carrots are very cheap. So is cabbage. Onions are cheap. Those are pretty staple vegetables although I also normally get frozen broccoli, which is only $1 a bag at Walmart. So it’s possible to do this! I keep a low budget for food, but it isn’t as low as what many people have to do and I’m thankful for that. I’ve never had to deal with $25 for the week or something like that so I can’t say how I would go about purchasing with that little amount.
Depending on where you live it's easy to grow spinach or lettuce mixes, when it's warm. I bought a container garden that's on wheels from Lowe's for my apt. Use raised bed soil, it retains moisture. And the containers had a reservoir in the bottom to hold water.
Wow I loved this video. Great ideas and tips.
Christine sent me, and I really enjoyed your channel and can't wait to see more!!
Thank you for stopping by!!
Oh my heart! "But I will be careful. I will give it back to you." ❤❤ Love your channel! Have learned how to cook just for me instead of 5 with your wonderful recipes.
Watch the ounces / servings per conntainer. The rotini was 16 ounces and the bowtie pasta was only 12 ounces.
Thanks!
Yes,my dad taught me & my sister that as kids. Only thing I ever actually listened to from him.
I’ve been teaching my son (9) the same thing for years when he comes to the store with me but I work at one so it’s been awhile since I haven’t just gotten it while I’m there.
Crazy, watching this 10 months after it was put on here and the cost of almost all these items is almost double! Still helpful though, thanks!
In regards to kneading bread, I pronounce the word "knead" like "need" which I have been taught is the correct pronunciation.
Ha ha I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought did she say “ Ned?”
Love the fried rice idea. My instant pot has collected dust for a year. I will use this today.
We enjoy watching "frugal fit mom."
love how real u are with licking your fingers off and using the same pan without washing it this is so me and I love how u don't try to hide it like pretty much all other cooking yt's I watch
Frugal fit mom sent me over, I just saw her video and she sent her link. I'm sure you already know this but there is some pasta at Walmart for 27 cents that I found watching See Mindy Mom. It was the perfect portion for my family of five. You can find it in the Spanish food section.
thank you for sharing I will have to check that out!
We hispanic people use it to make soup
I don't know when you started doing video's but since I've been watching. You have grown in the way you show us how to do recipes, GREAT JOB 👍!! LOVE your Bread Recipe, you make it Look so Easy. Do you ever make it with Wheat Flour ?? If so would like to see 👀 🙂 the Recipe .
Yes Abby I also love frugal fit mom, I am from sunny South Africa - the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal
Hello!! Welcome to my channel!
Thanks for the meal ideas! Your daughters are adorable helpers. 😊💗
I have been following Christine for a while now. Love her! Also she has a four ingredient no knead crusty bread recipe :-)
Yes I have seen that! I need to try it
I know me too. I have all the stuff just haven't done it yet. Glad you both collaborated I have been following you both for a while 💗
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Just FYI, to help me cut a little on the food bill :produce that is on sale that can be diced and sliced that "can be frozen" helps to stock those sale items.
Buying frozen orange juice ,rather already made ( minute maid really good) will total cut cost make as much as you want too. Mmmm. My mom stocks 5 cans for $1.40 each from Walmart in NC here. Making your own spaghetti meatballs cuts cost ( we usually all have seasonings in the cabinet) yet the sausage is seasoned already which helps. Just add a egg and little bread crumbs and roll into balls and freeze.
Love this video! I've been wasting an insane amount on eating out/ubereats and need to get back into ONLY eating at home with 4 kids. Thanks for the inspiration xx I wish Bell peppers were this cheap here on Australia. They're like 3 dollars! Our produce has gotten so expensive
If you have hot dog issues… in Germany the hotdogs come in glass jars in some watery liquid… I miss American hot dogs!!
Hi I’m a regular with Christine. I popped on here today, and have now subscribed to your channel.
I have to say that the food mixer/ pounder thing you use in the fry pan, they can be picked up for 1.00 at DollarTree.
Wow thanks! Not sure how great the quality is though
@@thesimplifiedsaver7052 I love mine. Very sturdy. I was impressed.
Love the "Brinner" casserole. I would serve it with easy biscuits, which are self rising flour and real mayonnaise. 2 ingredients, super tender layers.
Yay for a collab with Frugal Fit Mom. You both are awesome!
Hi! Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoy
Thank you very much for your excellent videos blessings
Unless you especially want no-meat spaghetti, you could have used one-quarter pound of the sausage (either the breakfast sausage or the link sausage), and added it to the spaghetti for a nice flavor, and use the remaining three-quarter pound of sausage in their respective dishes.
yes I have done that before! I was just trying to cut costs
I like your recipes, and I do use some of them. I find, though, that you put together the ingredients in a weird way. Like you should fry the onions, then add you sauce and let it simmer a bit. Then add the noodles to the sauce and then dump it all into your pan to bake. It's all cooked already, so add your cheese, clover with foil and bake covered for 30 minutes and it should be good. Also, I understand that you are trying to save money, I do, but how do you serve only noodles and sauce with little to no protein at all and just about no spices? I believe the jarred stuff has one with meat in it for the same price, no? Walmart sells spices for .89 for a pretty good sized bottle. In your spaghetti, add a couple of TBSPs of Italian seasoning, a TBSP each of garlic and onion powder to the sauce and use a TBSP of bacon grease to fry your onions in and you will be SO happy! Good luck and I DO enjoy your channel
Another cheaper meat is Italian sausage for the spaghetti. I honestly like it better then hamburger meat
thanks for the tip!
Your girls are adorable! I enjoy your channel! I’m going back and rewatching cooking videos to try and save money on groceries that are astronomical!!
I can’t believe how cheap the prices are! I wish our prices were that low. Like neverrrrrr seen prices like that before. I’d save so much money 🤣😩
The difference between the pay rate and the cost of living is still going to be about the same. So it makes no difference, you both are saving the same amount. Walmarts prices are typically the same at every location.
Very wise shopping and meal planning. Your family counts on you. Thinking ahead and food the family will eat , all this comes into play. Thank you for the wise help our friend.
I am the same about generic hot dogs! I’m not sure why 😝
I just don’t trust it 😅
Same can't do it unless its a BBQ and I'm unaware
Ditto!! Lol
My daughter had an allergic reaction to Bar S corn dogs. Never again!
I'm thinking the gall bladder is used no matter what brand 🤢
😱 I need that chopper it would save me so much time in the kitchen!!
Girl add some seasonings, red pepper flakes, garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika works so good with that meal too .....Well done my friend....GREAT JOB 😊
Great idea!!
I’m with you on the hot dogs. I buy the Oscar Meyer ones now, whenever I’m forced to buy them. 😂 I cannot do the cheap ones, they are so mushy!!!! 🤮
I’m usually ok with store brand.
Your family Is precious, the are so cute.👍♥️
Mu husband likes meat in his pasta, so sometimes I make it with mild Italian sausage or ground turkey breast. If you add McCormick's seasoning to ground turkey breast, it tastes like beef. He doesn't care for ground turkey , so when I put in the McCormick, he never knows.
Thanks for the tip. I will have to try that! My husband is the same way 😀
Hi! What kind of McCormick seasoning?
@@thesimplifiedsaver7052 try making a breakfast casserole using a lb of ground turkey breast, and 12 eggs scrambled, with the Montreal beef seasoning in the turkey breast mixing in good, mix with eggs, and I add shredded cheddar cheese and bake until set. Delicious and my hubby loves it. Be sure and spray your baking pan with non stick spray. I chop up bell pepper and onion in
@@sandiewarren1292 in the spice section of Walmart or any grocery store, there are McCormick seasonings, beef comes regular or spicy. Sprinkle on turkey breast before cooking and mix in with your hands. I use about a tablespoon, tastes more like beef
