I buy a lot of markdown meat and other markdown food and non-food items throughout the grocery store or any other places I shop. Kroger is my favorite place to find markdowns but I also check Schnucks occasionally today I got a box of Friskies canned cat food originally 32-count but four were missing so 28 cans for $12.20 good till April of 2026. I had a $5 off when I spent $20 digital coupon so I bought a few other things I needed. I'm 70 years old I don't have any chicken nuggets in my freezer.
I love this idea of buying marked down meat as you find it. I try to do that as well but I know I could do better about it. I have never heard of Schnucks before but what a great deal!
@@norahalmquist1345 Lol!! That’s fair. I actually always forget about corn dogs. I should try and see if my kids will eat them. Mix things up a little. 😂
I am so glad I found your channel! Mostly because you are such a breath of fresh air and you seem so sweet and kind! I am also moving into my first house soon so I’m trying to tighten down on my budget a bit and I could definitely cut back in the food and grocery department a bit! Great ideas! Thank you for the video!

We definitely have that in common. I put off the freezers as well but we will get it done! ❤

Thank you so much for sharing these are great tips!
You are so welcome! 🩷
Our budget is 300.00 a month, we are under budget for 2.5 of us and I carry a months worth of food rotating, We live in a high COL state,
That’s amazing that you are able to keep it to $300/month. You are definitely on top of things for sure.
