Dried beans and lentils! So cheap, so versatile, so diverse, very filling and nutritious, really delicious, easily stored, and can s t r e t c h meat so no-one feels cheated!! Cooked beans freeze really well and there's a squillion recipes out there because beans and lentils appear in cuisines all around the world!
Probably a bit obvious but Plain Flour (UK). It can be practically anything - cakes, dumplings, puddings, crackers, biscuits, sauce base, pizza, breads, pancakes, pastry and so on. It can be practically anything! We started using it to make bread as modern flour is so strong that it makes a nice bread, there's no need to buy the more expensive "strong" flours. If you want a bit if roughage in your bread, add some Oats! So simple, affordable and flexible x
Eggs. Yes, they’ve gone up in price but are still relatively cheap, are vey nutrient-dense and will keep you full for hours. They’re very versatile....you can scramble them, fry them, boil them, poach them, etc. They can be eaten as part of any meal any time of day.
Depending on the week, eggs can be on sale for $1.88 dz or $5 dz. I look at it as protein. So boneless chicken thighs at $0.99lb is a cheaper protein. Ham at $0.89-$0.99 is cheap. Turkey at $0.27-$0.39lb is way cheaper. The best beef price I can get is $2.49lb occasionally, which completes with $4-$5 a dozen eggs. But variety of taste and text is important to eating. So, I mix up the choices. My goal is for dinner to be $3-$5 for 4 people. How to get $3 for 4 people for dinner. 1lb boneless chicken thighs @$0.99 3lbs sweet potatoes 🍠 @$0.25lb 2 cans green beans at $0.33 ea or $0.66 salt, pepper, butter, dipping sauce $0.50 Total= $2.90 to feed 4 people dinner + probably a leftover lunch for 1 $4 average dinner x 7 days = $28 + lunch + breakfast = $50 x 4 weeks = $200 a month P
Can't beat baked beans on toast as a Brit, especially if you buy the basic supermarket brands. Add a fried egg, bit of bacon or grated cheese if you've got it.
If you're single like me then there's always Dollar Tree. Small prices mean small packages so nothing goes to waste. Get freezer bags of various sizes as well as containers and make meals ahead and freeze. I follow a channel where everything she makes is either Dollar Tree, Walmart (on a budget), or Dollar General. It's all about how you prepare it and use seasonings. A store near me actually has seasonings cheaper than Dollar Tree. It's on my to-do list to go and stock up before the holidays when things tend to run out.
A neighbor gifted us with a bag full of plums and another couple bags of sweet potatoes. We'd never get through them all fresh before they went south on us, so I got busy - made some canned plum jam and plum BBQ sauce (sounds weird, but it's actually pretty good with a nice spicy kick). After a bit of mulling options, I turned the sweet potatoes into frozen sweet potato fries. They stay a little softer than we like in the oven, but did much better in the air fryer! A little seasoned salt and a bit of ranch dressing to dip them in, and we were in business!
Would you consider doing a similar video for us diabetics who are broke? I am extremely limited on how many grain and\or fruit items I can have in a day... It is mostly protein and Vegas that I can have minus carrots, potatoes, and sweet potatoes as these also spike sugar...
Herbs and spices. No, they're not cheap, but they can help make extremely simple foods taste complex enough that you won't get tired of eating them. In that sense they're an excellent investment. And if you happen to live close to an Indian grocery store, that's where you're gonna go to get your spices, because they'll be good quality and low cost.
Grow the herbs that are native to your climate. A pack of seeds often costs less than the ready-to-use dried herbs, and you can grow them in cleaned-out tins. Sow ten seeds a year, maybe five plants will come up, and if that's too many for you, they're good little gifts if you paint or otherwise fancify the tins. Heck, sell the extra ones and recoup the cost of your seeds
I buy potatoes on sale. Microwave some like you would for baked potatoes. Then cut into chunks. Add a little butter in a pan and add some onion ,add the potatoes and just brown a little. When cooled then I freeze small baggies of the mixture. I use in my husband’s egg bowels or my son rather have those reheated and served as a side instead of chips when I make hamburgers. I also precook a package of bacon when it’s on sale and store in the freezer. If I need a bit I take a piece and rip into small pieces, microwave for 18 seconds and add to the potatoes or whatever you like.
@R MS yes. Then it is ready for grilled cheese sandwiches or whatever. The guys like it like that because when I microwave it to reheat they say it gets crispy that way.
I taught canning to a new canner. One lady tallied cost for veggies & meat/broth (homemade vs store bought) chicken veggie soup 🍲 .. wow eye opening for her.
I have several go to bean recipes that everyone in our family loves. I think my cheapest recipe is lentils. They are cooked with onion and we put them on potatoes, rice or quinoa. Very cheap and delicious.
Tuna- tuna melt. Mayo, Worcestershire Sauce, salt and pepper, celery seeds, dill weed, dill (or sweet depending on your preference) relish. MIX TOGETHER to taste, slap it on some toasted bread, (open face) & slice of cheese on top. Place into the oven (or better yet, toaster oven until cheese is melted (firm melt, not gooey melt, personally). Then done & enjoy!
I also make those tuna melts with English muffins. Toast each half first ,add tuna salad and a half slice of cheese. Melt in oven for 10 minutes.This is my husbands favorite lunch.
@@janicelovett5457 With english muffins (or bagels) we tend to do mini pizzas or ham/cheese/egg (w/jelly for me). Might have to try the tuna melt on that!!!
Good vid! Thanks! Also consider derivatives of these basic foods. For example, the bone in chicken breasts. Remove the meat from the bones and cook the meat for a meal. Now, take the bones and boil them with onion, carrot, and celery, and you get a stock to make chicken soup with with leftover chicken pieces! Or the oatmeal. Put oatmeal in water in a blender and voilà! You have oat milk!
I've found most of the time it is a savings to buy a whole fryer chicken instead of just the thighs or breasts. I cook the whole thing and have enough to make at least 2-3 other meals with the meat, then can boil the bones for broth as you suggested. Something new I've learned is to take the bones out of the broth and bake them until they are completely dried out, then bash/grind them into bone meal powder for the garden. Seriously nothing goes to waste!
Just a reminder, some of these rollback prices at Walmart are specifically for the holidays so if you can stock up a bit more right now, you may wish to do so before the prices end after the holidays.
I hit the jackpot for bone in chicken leg quarters (10# for 75c#) bought 40#. Made soup starter with meat/ broth & lots of extra bone broth. I saved several hundred $$ (broth sells for $4.99 quart here)..
@@saraconklinfrozenpennies my local IGA store is a co-op. Manager allows bulk buys on sale items (they also buy locally grown produce to sell in store).
You can make a ton of coleslaw for pennies if you can be bothered to shred a cabbage, carrot and onion. Time consuming but worth it. I always keep a big bowl of it in the fridge to have with sandwiches etc. Keeps very well.
Oats are a great suggestion ❤️👍 we use them to make homemade granola bars and stretch out our ground meat in meatloaf or meatballs (oh and were with you when it comes to hot tuna 😂 pass. We love tuna fish sandwiches though (with plain potato chips smashed inside - yum 😍). Always have a couple of pouches of the starkist brand in the pantry
My tummy flipped at the thought of tuna casserole, lol. I've never liked it. I love tuna sandwiches, though. Even just a drained can of tuna on a salad. As long as it's not hot 😂
Sara, just rewatched this video. You are the BEST. YES !!! I am seeing chicken for .99 ! Your totally right about tea!!! And yes we do canned fruit. In fact ! I DO ALL this stuff. And when my bananas start to go bad! They go into the freezer!!
I love tortilla chips with Spanish rice and sour cream or Tortilla chips with salsa and shredded cheddar microwaved. Flavorful and few ingredients that last. The bare minimum that keeps me 😀
To stretch a dollar even more. Dont forget the added bonus of making bone broth from all those bones making bone in chicken even more of a bargain. . Its awesome for people AND THEIR PETS!!! I have canned up so much bone broth lately. It can also be frozen in ice cube trays. Like one other You Tuber said “ If you have an Instant Pot, you have a soup making machine.” So true.
@@janeknight3597 Healthy PB (without oils) and banana has been my go-to lunch for the last three years. I eat it almost every day. It's only a few hundred calories, which is less than people who eat their leftover dinner...for lunch. I've maintained an 85-pound weight loss for years.
Kroger has good sized bone in frozen chicken leg quarters (leg and thigh attached) in a 10# bag for $5.90. If there is not a Kroger near you, they go by several names in different parts of the country. Ralph’s is the most common, I think.
That coffee is crazy! The last time I bought coffee I got a 2.2lb tin of Maxwell House for $5. We have a refillable k-cup so it takes forever to use that up. It's gone up to $8 so we're almost the same price per pound as you are. Heather xo
Produce (fruit/veg) vendors wrap up over-ripe produce and sell at greatly reduced cost. Toss that older produce into a stew with cheaper cuts of meat or in meatless curry. Great way to make cheap healthy meals that are budget stretchers.
I buy almost all of these, same brands and everything. But to this list I would add beans. I have also done the soup trick- my facorite is lentil soup mixed with rice and some copped green onion. Makes at least three meals! (Where i live, ALDI and a very nice walmart super center are across the street from each other so shopping bargains is very convenient!)
Go to feed and grain store. Get a ton of oats for pennies.DONT get blue additive it's for horses but will kill humans. Grind oats then grind again at smaller cut voila u have same as quaker oats.
Thank you for your video. I am going through a bit of an economic crisis, and I realize that your tips would really really help. I couldn't get your link online RUclips, but I would love to have the Tip Sheet you were talkin about
once upon a time i would have said eggs lol. Flour, Rice, Lentils, Beans, Grits all kept me fed when ive had nothing. I don't like to buy canned fruit or canned soups i find it more cheap to pick up fresh fruit/veggies and make soup but if i have extra money i'd pick up some miso because it will make any soup good lol
In my area food prices are higher.A ten pound bag of potatoes are over six dollars .Chicken thighs at Aldi are 1.79 around and 1.99 a pound at Walmart I haven't seen a 99 cents a pound in a long time I live in a smaller town though
I’ve been playing with this a bit and as long as the bones still have marrow in them you can continue to a third round! I was impressed with the quality when I did it!
Frozen veggies are so much cheaper than at aldis and I get frozen onions and stir fry onion and green and red and yellow peppers and frozen pearl onions their a dollar a bag..
What stores do you have? I have an Aldi and a Lidl nearby and they're great. In the UK, they're two of the cheaper stores for the off brand items. They're fairly good for things like rice, pasta etc. Lidl's does a really good chocolate oat biscuit, similar to Hobnobs, but significantly cheaper. However, different shops are in different places. 🙂 I definitely shop around here.
@@saraconklinfrozenpennies yeah they are but think of the gas your using. Gas is almost 5 a gallon here in los angeles. I just stick to one store depending on what I'm cooking for the week or the cashback ibotta is offering.
Regardless of how cheap it is, I never buy any food products from China. Ditto any pet foods and treats. Several years ago there were some cases of people's pets being fatally poisoned by pet foods from China. Generally speaking, their food safety standards leave a lot to be desired in my opinion. Not worth the savings.

A 10 lb bag for 6-7dollars.
