I worked in a school for 21 years and the first couple of years I was sick alot and then my body was immune and was hardly ever sick, get well soon, and I enjoy your videos
You did amazingly well for $200.00! Thank you for teaching me how to shop back in the day when I first found your channel. It's just me now...and food is so expensive here in NYC. Definitely noticed how much I save when I do not eat out. Looking forward to your food diaries. Hope you will be sharing. Your food always looks so yummy!
A lot of us spend this much every week…a family of 5 here and we live in Canada…but it still looks like you did well and I’m sure nothing will go to waste. ❤
What are you planning for your Easter menu? Idk if I should do the same or change it up this year. Trying to think of things that can be easily reheated after church (so I don’t spend an hour cooking after church before we do lunch)
So we celebrate Passover, not Easter. It means I always make lamb… usually lamb meatballs. It happens at sundown, so it doesn’t interfere with services.
It’s ok and don’t worry as you need to eat etc. I guess you will save money by buying groceries and not eating out. It’s amazing what you can save shopping at a discount grocery store. In the UK, I went to home bargains about 2 weeks ago I brought things like waffles, candy etc and saved abit. I need to go back. My numbers are failing and my lows are becoming my highs.
Wow. What a deal on those chips. I love kettle chips too. They are so good! That was also great deals on the meats. I always get my meats on clearance at food lion! Do you use the shop and earn program at food lion?
I was going to suggest some chicken soup to make you feel better…and look what you are having for dinner! Love your food hauls. I definitely have discount store envy. Hope you feel better!
Do you meal plan anymore? Miss that part of the haul. That would assist in eating out. Good old crock pot, busy women's best friend. Quick! Use up or hide the chocolate chips.
I wish I could use my crockpot! We work so far away and have such long days that I can’t use it. I mostly pre-cook. I do normally meal plan, but fell off the wagon hard in February when I had the flu. The chocolate chips are a lost cause 😂
Honestly, you did an amazing job with your grocery haul!! That is a LOT of food for the money you spent. Well done, even in spite of not feeling well. I hope you feel better very soon. One step at a time. Take good care of yourself and the rest will come. 💛
That’s great! I have like 9 cans I need to use up. I’ve been wanting to make pumpkin oatmeal bars forever, but I just haven’t had the energy for anything extra 😉
Girllll....I remember when you did $50 a week for your whole family...lol 😂 I like to watch Merina & Shane...lol I can hear Shane now w the hash tag tator nation !! 😂😂 They are a trip....but are true everyday people like us. ❤
I work in both! My regular job is at a pediatric physical therapy office. I’m working in a school for my final college semester. So I split my time between both
@TheBealles are you student teaching? I am a highschool business teacher in Illinois but I got CTE certified because I was an accountant and have an MBA. That's fun you get to do both

Thank you 😊 I know it’s reasonable, but I know I can do better. Really we want to save to visit our grandbaby ❤️
Thank you for doing a video despite being sick. I hope you get better soon.
Thank you 😊
Great haul! I hope you feel better soon 😊
Thank you 😊
I hope you feel better soon!

Great buys ! I agree the $200.00 would be well over $400 elsewhere
I think so. Trying to get the best bang for my buck!
Great haul! I hope you feel better. ❤
Thank you 😊
Feel better!!❤
Thank you 😊
You got a whole lot going on. Give yourself grace
Thanks 😊 I’m trying ❤️

Everyone falls off the wagon sometimes. We just have got to get back on 😊
Love you Amanda.. praying you feel better soon...
Thank you 😊
I got lucky at our discount store the beginning of the month and found tuna for $0.69/can!!
That’s a great deal!
Wow. What a deal on those chips. I love kettle chips too. They are so good! That was also great deals on the meats. I always get my meats on clearance at food lion! Do you use the shop and earn program at food lion?
I have never heard of it. I’ll have to check that out
I love it , I love your honesty 🤣
Thanks😉 I gotta be me 🤷♀️
You ought to be proud of yourself. I spend that every week and it’s just 3 of us😮😅
Thanks 😊
You got some really good deals😊
Thank you! I think I did pretty well all things considered
Thanks for sharing even when your sick ,you are on track with all that food ,get some rest ,praying for you ,blessings to you guys, Teresa in Mn
Thanks, Teresa ❤️

Love your food hauls. I definitely have discount store envy. Hope you feel better!
Thanks! That chicken soup was perfect. Ramen tonight 😉
I can’t believe the deals you got. Everything you got would be $400+ even with sales. I’d be stocking up as well as at your prices.
Also I hope you are feeling better today. ❤
Thank you :)

Aldi's butter was a limit of 6
Yep. But with me & my husband that would be 12

Thank you very much 😊
I found canned pumpkin at our Aldi today for .69 cents! I have been watching for a deal on pumpkin for months.
That’s great! I have like 9 cans I need to use up. I’ve been wanting to make pumpkin oatmeal bars forever, but I just haven’t had the energy for anything extra 😉
@@TheBealles Wow! You must have caught the Dollar General clearance after Christmas! I missed all of it.😫
@@babsblan last year 😂 that’s why I’m trying to use it up
I have mine from last year too. Along with the cranberry sauce, all for 25 cents per can at the time.
@@TheBealles
Geez...someone else's husband eats the chocolate chips!! LOL
Ha! I think they all do 😂
Would you mind sharing the contact information of the popcorn ceiling removal company you used a couple of years ago? Thanks.
Sorry. It was a local friend. Ask your local friends & family for recommendations. I’m sure you can find someone qualified in your area!
Girllll....I remember when you did $50 a week for your whole family...lol 😂 I like to watch Merina & Shane...lol I can hear Shane now w the hash tag tator nation !! 😂😂 They are a trip....but are true everyday people like us. ❤
Those were the days! Prices were so much better then and being home helped. I do appreciate real people ❤️
@@TheBealles I think we all wish those prices would return. Inflation is out the roof !!
I too enjoy Shane and Merina's channel. Very inspiring.
Food Club come from Food City
Thanks!
You have a cute laugh :)
Thanks!
I did not realize you worked in a school. For some reason I thought you worked in a medical office. 😂
I work in both! My regular job is at a pediatric physical therapy office. I’m working in a school for my final college semester. So I split my time between both

Oooo butter is on sale? I will have to check mine.
It was at mine. Limit 6, but my husband was with me
@@TheBealles mine was on sale! I got a couple hoping it is on sale next time I go back but don't know.
Love you Amanda ❤️
Thank you 😊
It’s hard to get over the frugal mindset but give yourself a break, you got too much going on rn to worry about saving.
I’ve been trying to give myself grace, but I think I went overboard 😂
Hey Amanda I just love watching ur videos 😊 I was going let u know ur food club stuffing come from a store called Food City we have were I live at they have a lot of good sales especially on Friday and Saturday hope you getting feeling better I'll be praying for you 🙏🙏❤
Thanks! I’ve been wondering about that!
Ur very welcome I forgot to tell you I live in Tennessee hope you and Rick have a very blessed evening 😊
@@DamiaChester thanks! We went to a food city when we were in Gatlinburg
I like that Aldi toilet tissue. I get that kind but usually the smaller back of that.
I was surprised when I tried it. 10/10. Highly recommend
Aldi prices keep raising on stuff some stuff came down but other things are like a buck or more then it used to be. Bummer.
I know! The eggs kill me
