    Love your family and all your grocery shopping. Thanks for showing New York. Never been and u able to ever go . Now, I am seeing it and enjoy watching your family getting around there, I wouldn't go if I could because I am totally a country girl. I came here from Grenada, Mississippi and wouldn't be h😮ere in Augusta,GA if I had been able to stay on my own but happy here, just miss my family and friends dropping by. You have such beautiful children, so.talented ,polite and loving . They are really special . You are excellent parents. I do so enjoy all the family. I came from a big family myself and would have had more or adopted but wasn't meant to be but our Lord knows best . Sorry this is so long. God bless you all!

    You can make homemade cream of mushroom soup to save some money. 2 Tablespoons butter, 2 Tablespoons flour, 2 or 3 mushrooms chopped small. Saute those 3 in a sauce pan for 2 or 3 minutes to make a roux. Then add 1 1/2 cups of warm milk. Slowly wisk it in. Bring to a simmer for 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you want it thicker or thinner, add slightly less or more milk. It thickens up more when it cools.

      I use to keep canvas boat type bags and heavy zip cooler bags and put items directly into them when bagging. I lived on island with no bridge or stores or mail and everything had to be handled a lot.
      So id put right into my own bags as cashier scanned. Then in truck, then in cart and down to boat and onto boat then off boat into cart and up ramps to vehicle
      And into it and then down dirt roads into garage and into house. It made me pack well.plus it was 90s or more most the time . Usually 2 huge zipper bags from ll bean and 8-10 boat large canvas bags from them and whatever else

They are so creamy and yummy. I think i like quail eggs more than chicken eggs. The only things is they're so tiny you get tired peeling them and you don't realized how many you eat coz they're so tiny 😂

    Just a fyi. My lady at the grocery store told me her produce person told them was that the foods they put organic on usually are not. Its just that they get more money out of it if its labeled that. Its almost impossible to get free of the pesticides on the food. Just thought I would share. Oh and that's not the first time I heard that. So maybe look into it.

      It’s true. Im in farming area of smokies of NC/TN… plus if you’ve ever had a garden… but yeah it’s been a ploy since the organic thing began. It’s a feel good thing- only way you’ll ever know is to grow your own. After that, it’s a crap shoot.

    We have a really great Trader Joe's here in Phoenix. I am originally from upstate New York and I checked the internet. The only Trader Joe's in NY are in your area
    The internet says they are in more wealthier areas because they want to make sure they make money. We are lucky. Buffalo has a population of 600 000 and still no Trader Joe's. Corporate is going to get a lot of calls wanting one in their area. See what you started LOL

      Yes! They are expanding into more and more cities. When we drove across the Country I tried to park the trailer at rv parks close to a Trader Joe’s!😅 There are 2 in Nebraska and I think we went to both of them.

      Buffalo (Amherst) actually has a Trader Joe’s. There is also one in Rochester, NY (Pittsford) and Syracuse. Albany too. I’ve been to all of those when travelling from Canada .

      Do they grow onions in the winter in Detroit or are they shipped in and sold at the farmers market?

    • @zefcha4670

    It is a good iidea to rinse that basmati rice in a sieve until the water runs clear and check it for errant stones and foreign objects before cooking.
    Also, you may want to look at the new report on the puberty-delaying chemicals found in 80% of Cheerios.

      Yes! I’ve been steering away from buying so much cereal. I want to do more oatmeal because it’s cheaper and less processed.

      I forgot to mention that there is a huge, family-friendly store in North Yonkers (off of 1-87) called Stew Leonard's. They have an app special this week of whole trimmed filet mignon for $14.99/lb now through Tuesday 2/20. I know your kids are big fans of meat and that price is pretty great. The store has a huge produce section, animated displays, and tons of samples on weekends. It may be fun for everyone and the drive is probably 30 minutes or less for y'all. 😊

    Just curious how much you spend a month total on groceries from all the different stores? Do you have a strict budget or do you just get what you need?

    • @TheHappyCaravan
      @TheHappyCaravan  9 месяцев назад +2

      We usually spend $800 a week. If we go over that we get in trouble with the other bills.

    Just a word of warning Dad, be careful about showing your atm card on your phone. These days people can find out anything about anyone with only a few bits of information.

    Quail eggs are so yummy. Use them like eggs

    • @cumberlandquiltchic1
      @cumberlandquiltchic1 9 месяцев назад

      Pickled quail eggs are good. It would take 4 quail eggs to equal 1 chicken egg though.
