    I have been watching you for over a year and I just want to say I love the little clips you put in from movies and tv, I am sure it's a lot of work for a punchline, but I just wanted to say, they are worth it! I am 43 and the cultural references are "chef's kiss!" LOL

    My best advice? Plan your menu around what's on sale in the flyers, and KNOW your prices.

    Near me some of the grocery stores are ripping people off in the "clearance section." Seeing vitamins selling for $15 on clearance and seeing them cheaper than that elsewhere. That's why it's so important to price compare like you show in your videos.

      I noticed that too, last week though I found vootman cookies on clearance because they were fall shapes like pumpkins and leaves 1.69 at the register they rang up at .30
      Never know what you're going to get. Lol😊

    My sister and I just celebrated our birthday, we're twins, by shopping for clothes, eating at a new to us restaurant. We also hit two grocery stores, Aldi's and Publix for for the items we prefer to buy there and the thing on sale. And each year Publix sends us a free cake coupon for our birthday. Then on Sunday we hit up the local stores here in town for their sales. It was a great day.

    Since we lack "discount grocery" stores near me, I still shop the Kroger discount bins... the manager's special meats, the must sell dairy, and the clearance section for everything else. Last Friday I found four, 6 ounce DeLallo pepperoni bags, marked down to $1.40 a bag (from 3.99). The best buy date was January, so I got all four. We'll eat them. Occasionally I'll find marked down bags of lettuce, but not as often as I want. :)

    We have a killer local discount store in my little town. A ton of organic over the last year too… I’m guessing because people can’t afford it in the regular stores! I just meal plan around what I can buy and stock up on solely from this store now. I’m feeding a hungry family of 5 on $100 a week!!!!

    Jewel (Albertsons owned) has been a savor to me these last couple months. They have amazing coupons on their app. 99 cent blueberries, blackberries, tomatoes, baby carrots almost every week. This week they had 99cent a pound chicken (up to 10 pounds) and $4.99/pound chuck roasts. I definitely stocked up. I break the 4 pound chuck roasts into thirds to freeze. Then use them in my crockpot once a week with beef broth and veggies. That shredded beef is good for at least 5-6 meals. Been a life saver on saving time and money!

    It is work though but you can hone in on specialties where it becomes muscle memory. That gives you room to splurge on a fancy schmancy ingredient too.

    I just tried the Grocery Outlet in my area again. Unfortunately, they are not that cheap here on groceries that I need. So frustrating! I want to like it, but most items were more expensive than I pay at Winco. I did get frozen organic fruit for the same price as Costco, and a couple of chobani flips for a good deal, but overall. It was a bust. It must be a California thing, because I see the great deals on RUclips in other states. Well, I'm grateful we have Winco here, and it definitely saves my grocery budget.

      I am old enough to tell you the dating and sticker-ing of everything came out in my lifetime and took awhile to take hold. It's too bad that now people believe in it so much. It was unbeliveable to see that even Coke/Pepsi joined in; what a marketing racket!! Growing up, we never bothered and were all very healthy and well fed. If the can is not dented or "puffy" on the top (should be very flat or slightly concave) it is fine. Many dented cans are fine, as long as its integrity is intact.

    Garlic & Butter wings, NO PARM. Cherry Vanilla Bourbon and Coke, and Country music would be a great night.

    I live in MA and we have no real salvage or discount grocery stores. It's just what it is.
