my life has literally gone from trying to make the most tastiest gourmet meals to making whatever I can get full on for less than $5 a day. and even $5 a day is hurting sometimes.. great video
Confession I don't peel large carrots. I just take a brand new scotch Brite pad (the green ones that don't come with the sponge) and under some cold water I just scrub them clean. Less waste and its easier and faster. Chop as normal. My hubby showed me that because when he worked at a ponderosa as a teenager that's what they did in the restaurant
I don't think I've ever peeled a carrot to eat it in my entire life LOL
Same here I just use the green side of a sponge lol
That or a scrubby brush.
This is the first time I ever heard about this...... and I'm going to do this now!
@@natememart yeah I hear all the vitamins are in the skin as well but I just do it cause it's easier and don't have to find a peeler or clean it afterwards lol
I love these type videos. My nephew (28 ) asked me recently to create almost homemade meals for less than $4 ea. YAY! Most were about $3. Canned meats, eggs, Rice-A-Roni and Knorr $1 packages, Frozen 89c veggies. Made him 1 week of menus for $45 - 3 meals a day. After the first week he told me it was all awesome. So proud that he is willing to cook his own meals. Walmart is the only place I can find canned ham in a small can. I have been following Meals with Maria for about a year now. She is great.
I also really like those pasta and rice sides, especially for small families, or young people just starting out. I still use them myself!
That’s awesomeness
@Nancy If he’s open to it, tell him he can stir in a can of rinsed kidney or garbanzos beans into those type of boxed mixes. We don’t eat meat and I use a box of rice mix when in a rush and I think they’re good. Box of Zatarains jambalaya and add kidney beans at the end of cooking…it’s 🎶…
Dollar tree in some places has smaller “spam” type cans. (It really just depends on the store as the one close to me often has very different stuff than the one about 40 minutes away.) They also sometimes have spices and other items. I have found lots of products are “interesting”. Some Dollar trees have frozen foods also.
@@shelzp7272 You're in for a treat if you can find Tony Chachere's jambalaya and mix the 2 jambalaya mixes together. It creates a lot of food, but I freeze a gallon size bag and save it for later. They are great each on their own, but together its magic.
Just bought all the ingredients I need to make these meals and it was $15.57! I am so excited to see how far these recipes take me and my two toddlers! Holy cow 🥹🫶🏼 thank you for doing these videos! I know how much work it is to just film and edit! So to have the budgeting and cooking and pricing? 🤯 THANK YOU! From one grateful mama!
How did it go?
It amazes me how cheap food is in the US. The beef alone would be at least $10 CAD where I live. Even a bag of frozen vegetables is pushing $5 now.
Swap out
1. the stewing beef for 2 packs of Tofu (Tofu and beef have same protein amount but while beef is higher in potassium Tofu is higher in calcium, folate and omega 3s as well as lower in fat)
2. Lentils for the ground turkey (lentils again high in thiamin and folate, lower in protein but still decent amounts, lower cholesterol, high in iron and dietary fiber which we don't get enough of- could keep fuller longer)
Both of those swaps could save you at least $5 on the low end, probably up to $7/$8 depending on where you are. And lentils stay good forever when Dried, and can be a bulk Pantry staple to have on hand to keep future grocery bills low.
I love these budget meal dinners! I was able to make 7 dinners for $20 a few weeks ago and they were so tasty and my wallet thanked me 😊
Great job!
Care to share the recipes you made for that price? With a large, single, income family I'm always looking for new, yet actually cheap and tasty meals.
I prefer regular whole carrots because I feel like they’re fresher than the baby ones because they don’t sit around peeled and in water for quite a few days… 🤷🏻♀️
Paid $4.99 for a dozen eggs today at Aldi. Crazy! Love Meals With Maria! You're pretty special too! 😉
I appreciate your videos so much. I found them a few months ago, and I don't do anything as extreme as your challenge videos, but the information in them has helped me save so much money. I used to spend over $100 a week on groceries and toiletries, but I've used your videos to start planning ahead, using ingredients over multiple meals, and putting in a little more work (like grating a block of cheese instead of buying shredded). Now our weekly grocery bill (family of 3 + a dog), is usually about $60-$70. Your videos have been so helpful!
I’ve been known to throw a big towel (folded over a few times) over my slow cooker to hold in heat and hasten the cooking 😉 it really helps
I never thought I'd see the day where eggs in the US were more expensive than in Canada. I'll definitely be trying some of these recipes very soon!! Everything looked delicious.
Thanks!
Owning chickens is becoming so much more appealing these days.
Honestly they are hard to keep. My now ex's mom had 3 chickens and she to give them away because everything to care for them costed too much. (Feed, bedding, etc)
And it was much cheaper and more economic to just buy a carton of eggs.
If you peel the carrots you peel away the nutrients (or so I read) so maybe just clean them off good
Blueberry muffin: I had almond flour so added 1/2 cup instead of wheat flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tblsp sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 egg, 3/4 cup milk, 1 tblsp butter and 1/2 cup real blueberries. Makes a healthier muffin. Very good. Also made the teriyaki bowl, great ideas!
I adapted your beef noodle soup recipe and cooked everything minus the noodles in the instant pot! Mindy, I know you don't *love* using the instant pot, but the beef was fall-apart tender and absolutely delicious.
I also subscribe to Maria cuz each meal channel has their own take on what they have in their meal rotation. The more the merrier.😊 I love learning hacks for mixes
I buy the cheap can biscuits. Put two together and add butter, garlic,parmesan and oregano. They fluff up big and they are so good.
Love the collaboration. I watch both of you ladies often, and proud to say Maria she is from neck of the woods. ALWAYS ASK an employee about the clearance rack. Yes it is often in the same space however, you never know it could be they moved it or, as in this case are filling it with new goodies. Great recipes - I am so tired of people thinking eating inexpensive meals mean always eating Rice & Beans or Tacos
Wow, you are almost at 160k subs! How awesome for you!! You deserve it. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!!
Over from Maria's group. I do the same thing at Walmart - head straight to the discount bakery items. LOL I like your ideas and I've subscribed. 😊
That Turkey would be great when th the pack of frozen stir fry pepper mix
I started buying cake mix / muffin mix almost only because of how much you use it! :D
I like to put the blueberry muffin mix (the one I am buying is Betty Crocker brand and it comes with a pocket of blueberry jam) into a small baking form and it makes a small kind of square cake which I treat myself to for breakfast sometimes. This cake i usually divide into 4 portions and i really love it for breakfast from time to time. Goes perfect with coffee. ;)
With being on a fixed income, these meal suggestions are wonderful. I'll continue to look out for your meal ideas, because it saves on cooking the same meals everytime. Thanks
Interesting idea in increasing the servings in the pouch of muffins, I like that idea.
Thank you for putting in the time to create frugal meals! This is helping me to be able to continue to pay off my debt while still eating healthy!
Such great videos for these inflationary times! Heading over to Maria's channel!
Good deal! I think you're gonna love her :)
I add a chopped zucchini & yellow squash to my beef stroganoff about 15 minutes before its done. Yum.
Bought eggs in Fresno, Ca today. A 18 pack was $8.97 so I got a 60 pack for $25 because I’m tired of buying them weekly!
Just came over from Maria's channel I have loved her channel for a while and now I find another. Looks like I will like it equally as well.
Finally! My Canadian eggs are cheaper than American eggs! I used to watch this an envy how cheap eggs were in the us.
Both your channel and Maria’s channel are favorites of mine
I am a family of one and I really do appreciate these videos!!! It’s hard to cook for one!
Newbie here from MEALS WITH MARIA.....i'm always looking for meals when, for me, it's down to "check the fridge/freezer/pantry" before hitting the grocery store. Your channel looks fun and informative...woot!
Welcome!! Glad you found me! :)
Welcome. You should definitely stay. Mindy is so creative and one of the best at shopping the pantry and using it up.
Just rewatched this video after a long time…definitely a winner:)
Love Maria I watch her and you too all the time!
Here is a good idea about rice it’s better to save some money to the side and buy a sack of rice it will last you much longer, we gave a Sam club and we bag a huge sack of rice and pour it into two large glass jars and keep in a cool area
Love your videos! I'm not American and sometimes what many would take for granted to be easy to cook with the classic ingredients you find in USA supermarkets well, it's not for me! I can cook Italian food pretty well but I'm still struggling with things like chocolate chips cookies or pies despite having been here for almost 10 years. Thanks to your videos I get some inspiration for meals using what's largely available here!
On the spices topic, I just wanted to say that I find them relatively expensive at Walmart. If you have one of those Mexican supermarkets or something like 99 cents store around you, they carry the small plastic bags of spices, those are usually 3 to 4 times cheaper than the jars sold at Walmart and you just need to refill.
Thank you again for your work!
I feel the same. I love watching her make the dishes but none of them are for me; the pork products are a big NO for me, plus, I dont like any red meat at all, but still, I enjoy watching how an American can make an affordable dish for herself and family. Hello from Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain.
Thanks for the recipes that why when roast is on sale I buy it and cut it up for stews it crazy how much meat are.
In regular grocery stores with a butcher counter, I think they will even chop it up for you.
@@SeeMindyMom Thankyou
Our eggs are $8-10 it's insane. Thank you for this video!!! I've subscribed and am going to make my husband happy with your saving ideas!!! God bless you!!! ❤️🙌
Just found you today and subscribed! I’m always looking for yummy meal ideas to make that don’t break the bank. The prices are out of control at the grocery store so this video is super helpful! 😊
I'm so glad you continue to share these. I truly appreciate them. I've been getting a lot of meal inspiration.
So glad I can be helpful, Alma. :)
OH! Meals with Maria is a favorite of mine. I like this collab :)
I just noticed. Don't leave your purse unattended. My kids bug me about this all the time. Love your videos . I have a family of 6. Your meals are life savers. Thank you
Clip your purse to the cart kids seat belt so if you do get distracted, no one can just grab it and run
After the birth of my last child I decided I didn’t want to lug around a big diaper bag and a purse. So I bought a smaller back pack. Never leaves my back when I’m shopping. Just one less thing to worry about.
Thanks for these videos! It seems like you are incorporating more dairy free meals which I appreciate.
It's so crazy that you posted this today because I'm making ground beef stroganoff with mashed potatoes for my family and zoodles for myself🤣 I have to make it low carb so that I can enjoy some too but Kroger had a good sale on mushrooms and zucchini and I couldn't resist.
I like zucchini! I also really like spaghetti squash.
I would love to see you make these recipes with chicken only and fewer carb based fillers!
Eggs are crazy now. I remember when they were a go to cheap meal. We live in Iowa and can get a dozen from a farmer for 2.50 so that helps. TFS
I went to Aldi yesterday and 12 eggs $3.99 cost more a gallon of milk for $3.74. I found chicken drumsticks for.77 cents a pound and T bone steaks for $4.99 a pound. I’m skipping eggs till the price drops again.
What bargains!
@@kellyharris4639 Right! I couldn’t believe the price of the T-bones.
Aldi in southern New Hampshire is selling a dozen eggs for $2.05. Where are you?
@@robinguertin574 hun this video was from January 2023. Eggs were higher back then…..😉
@Gardeningchristine, I saw that after I posted! However, egg prices are on the rise again. In the past 1 1/2 months, the eggs went from %1.69 to $1.98 to $2.05 at Aldi. It's still much cheaper than the other grocery stores.
LOVE the pureed onion idea!!!
I’m one of those weird people that is fascinated by the way people say things or the way their mouths move when they speak. I love the way Mindy says “noodles”, it’s such a satisfying sound LOL 😂
I buy a bag of Meatballs, you can get about 3 or 4 Meals out of the Bag of Meatballs. Beef Stroganoff, Spaghetti, Soup 🍲 😋 and Meatballs Subs ect.. a Meal SAVER'S. I can also Cut them in HALF to make the Meat go further if you need to.
Eggs where I live on Sunday were $11.99 a dozen. We have a severe potato shortage and frozen vegetables as well currently. Our grocery prices at the moment are ridiculous. I am absolutely amazed at the prices in the USA in comparison to us here in Australia even converting the difference in currencies it is still cheaper to shop in the states.
Wow! That’s unbelievable. I expect I’ll be planting potatoes in buckets next summer.
What part of Australia?
I love your creativity!
One of my go to cheap family meals is taking some ground Italian turkey sausage brown it up and set it aside then take a box of rice a Roni after the rice is browned add the meat in and follow the directions on the box. For a side I do a frozen bag of veggies.
Came over from Meals with Maria, exciting times alright just subscribed.😊
Thanks, Jennifer!
Love this thank you! We're a family of 7 so I would likely double these meals, but still a good value.
Do you have a link for your Dutch oven?
You are an absolute God send ❤️
Come to Australia. We've been paying premium food prices for years! It's getting worse here too..
Our Mindy & Maverick will be trying some of your suggestions about buying frozen fruits, and vegetables.
Thank you for making these videos 🙏🏼
Hello Mindy, I enjoy your videos and your personality. Have you ever given an overview as to how much you spend on your food budget for a family of five in a month? I think the watchers would be interested in this!
It's a little odd for me because of my business, so I haven't done that before because it's sort of an apples to oranges comparison. However, I have a similar project to that idea I'm planning for February. :)
@@SeeMindyMom Isn't RUclips your full-time work/business along with being mother, vocal coach, ministries in the church?
When your mom isn't available so you borrow this one. Thank you ma'am. Heading to Walmart and my mom is busy with gbabies. Right in time. New subbie♥️
Two of my favorite ladies! Love this collaboration! Great meal ideas as always! 😊
Just started watching you and subscribed! Thank you for these meal ideas! 😊
Another wonderful video filled with great ideas for dinner. I really appreciate that your videos help me save money but preserve a bit of dignity in the kitchen, by that I mean I’m still able to be a bit creative and it doesn’t necessarily feel “low budget”. They are still dinners to be proud of. You’re truly a gift!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate those kind words! 😊
I would happily eat these meals. My husband and daughter are so picky.
I made mild Italian sausage with spaghetti & Chucky Tomato Sauce for last night's dinner..l don't want to make more spaghetti with the remainders of the Italian sausage or the sauce l thought about ordering a cheese pizza (which would be a treat) & use my remaining leftovers on the pizza. Depends on the price of the pizza plus delivery.
we make sausage pizza all the time from scratch, and we have 3 different crust recipes: a regular rising crust, a box pizza style of crust, and a crazy crust which doesn't need yeast. If you can make a sauce, you can make a pizza.
The onion thing!! Genius for kids who don't like onion pieces but like flavor.
Love videos like these, I hit the bread rack everytime we shop amazing
You've showed me it can be done. I was skeptical and thought it was so much higher where I live, so I priced it out and my WalMart order came out to 21.66 before tax which I feel like is comparable to your prices. I saw your egg price on the shelf of $5.12 and thought we were being overcharged since our eggs are $6.73 for a dozen, but when I shopped along with you, I saw that it really isn't that much higher here overall. Unless you buy eggs.
Newbie here! Maria sent me over! Enjoyed the video!!!
Mindy and family have a great day have fun thanks from Oklahoma
Thank you! You too!
This is a great collaboration! I Love Meals With Maria.
As a novice cook, I really appreciate these videos so much! Thank you for all the great recipes you provide!
Clever onion trick!
I really don’t care for the tube meat version of turkey or beef. From anywhere. I do appreciate you stretching other ground meats!
I know its a little controversial, but you don't have to peel carrots if you wash them really well. Saves me so much time and my family doesn't care.
Same, I just use my potato scrubber. I only peel them if I want to give my chickens a treat.
Tonight i tried the stroganoff and my family didn’t like it. 😢 once a week I always try a new meal to add to our menu and this wasnt it. Having picky eaters is hard to satisfy. I still appreciate your channel.
Loved the video and love you and Maria🌺both. Thx Mindy
If you use 1Tbsp butter with 1Tbsp oil it will keep the butter from burning while browning meat.
All looked lovely 👍
Fyi, i have turned to the ground turkey for price. I Buy the Italian kind, it's already seasoned well with onion and garlic, and you can add whatever else you want to it!
Don't know if you have it there but my Walmart has a brand called Festive ground turkey for $2.54/lb. Cooks up fine for me. It's 85/15 and it's frozen.
I looked for it, but didn't see it this time. :)
I was really not expecting to see the Ramen noodles spice in your video, because I save them and use them in other meals too. You're very good!
Thanks for this amazings videos,i love your channel,they give me tons of ideas of what i can cook,i had always spend too much no matter what,but with tour videos i finally say that i spend so much less that i used to,thank you ❤❤
I actually regularly purchase those Martha White muffin mixes!
I like to mix the Strawberry Cheesecake flavor and the Blueberry Cheesecake flavor together.
I bake them together in a cake tin for a "sheet pan pancake" vibe that is just delicious and almost always available in my kitchen.
Great idea!!
I've been buying those for years! They are so good. I add nuts and chocolate chips to different varieties of them!
@shirlysmilesmusic6919 Yes! I was so excited when I found the Pumpkin Spice flavor on sale at my local Ralph's for 30 cents each after Thanksgiving. My husband was concerned when he saw that I brought home 6 until I told him the price! 😂
I made the beef and noodle stew/soup last night… it was delicious!! Making the other two later this week!!!! I even found an Italian loaf for $0.53 on the discount rack. I’ve never noticed it before and am so glad I checked. Thank you for this video!
As much as I prefer not peeling and cutting carrots, the whole ones do taste better
You could also scrub them really well with a vegetable brush and just chop them!
Love “shopping” with you
Hi Mindy i came across your video. Thank you so much for making this video, i subscribed to your channel and turned on the bell so i won't miss any of your videos. Again thank you so much.
Fantastic! Everything you cooked was super yummy and simple. Thanks to Maria for turning us to you! And thank you for your deliciousness!
This is eye opening for me. Maybe in a bad way LOL I cook for my boyfriend and myself and we cook more for just us then you cook for your family of 5. We do like to have left overs for lunch. But wow this would save us money.
I watch both of you every day.
Thank you for another great video Mindy! These all look delicious, I can't wait to try them. I've used your muffin baking tip for awhile and they always turn out perfect. I'm so happy that you did a collab with Maria, she always has great budget recipes as well. 🙂
It is soooo hard to feed the people lately! We are a family of 4, but I also make dinner once ever 2 weeks for my in-laws, so on those nights we are 7. It's gotten harder and harder to buy food. I actually go shopping in a near consistent state of prayer- between the people I encounter, to the prices of food and my personal feelings about it, it's hard. My husband recently got a new, higher paying job, but with the prices of food, we are eating almost like we did as newly weds 12 years ago on his military income. I'm on the hunt for the cheapest meals I can find to incorporate into our already pretty cheap dinner menu.
I stay home with my two kids every day. My little hobbits eat breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and occasional bedtime snack. Every. Day. Its like trying to feed two teenagers, and they're not teens yet. I can't imagine what it's going to be like when they are. 😅 I need some other meal ideas. Most day, we eat leftovers for lunch, because nothing irks me like wasted food, but snacks are really difficult. I don't buy much snack food, and I try to have things like boiled eggs, cheese, fruits and veggies ready for them to grab, however, we do one big monthly shopping trip as we live quite rural, so just popping into the grocery store is not an option, unless I happen to be in town.
I buys chuck roast when it’s $3.79 a Lb.@ Kroger, I cut it myself for beef tips and stew eat
Hi Mindy great meals for a little money thanks!
I love your videos so much!!! I heard you say once that you live in Tulsa. We drive through there several times a year going to Springdale Ark. where we grew up! ( live in Colorado now) Love Tulsa!
love discount bread! those big rolls you got would prob be very good as bread bowls with a stew or thick soup!!
Yes! I think that's what they were intended for.
Always my favorite videos, tho I'm excited every time I see you got a new one out!
Great value in your videos!! Love both you & Maria. How wonderful to have y'all collaborate.
Thanks so much!
