Yes please!!! ❤️
That would be awesome 😊
Ok yes!
Yes please! 🎉
Yes please!!
Gov't: "We know what's best. Here's our food budget"
Mindy: "Hold my crockpot"
The budget meal videos are great, but this is closer to what my family does each week, so I love to see it.
Same
Agreed! I loved this video and pinned the recipes.
Same here!
I agree. I usually spend $50 a week for myself maybe.
Hi mindy. A disabled couple and we love ur low budget meal idea videos. U r a down to earth person
I absolutely love these delicious and realistic mid-range budget meal plans!!! Exactly where my family is at right now
Glad I could deliver! Thanks for watching! :)
Yes, many different people watching for sure
I love the midrange too. The extreme dollar tree videos are great for those in a really tight spot, but not realistic for me and my family.
That USDA meal plan is wild...for my family of 4, the moderate plan recommended $281.60 a week....I've had no trouble sticking with my $150/week budget. Including prepackaged snacks, meat, and occasional treats.
Hooray for realistic budget meals. Bring on more please.🎉
I’m a family of 4 in Texas. (43,38,12,1). I upped my budget from $100 a week to $110. I shop every two weeks with $220. I’m thankful for a grandmother that thought me how to be frugal and make so much from scratch.
Show us what you buy and cook for your family 😊
I wish I knew some secrets.. I'm a family of 6 and I'm pregnant. I have a month budget for $981 but it don't last tall month 3 meals snacks and drinks it's expensive here and I'm getting tiered of being hungry all the time.
Are you thankful you have a home and the time to cook from scratch too? People working 3 jobs and taking the bus for 4 hours a day don't have that privilege.. time.
I grew up with tv dinners 😢
I really think it would be great to do more of this kind of price point for meals.
The thrifty budget for my mostly grown family of 4 is more than I ever spent to feed 8 ( yes, 6 kids!)! Incredible!
Yes! These are the videos I want to see! “Normal” grocery shopping/plan ideas. Thanks Mindy!
Those cinnamon rolls look so good! I do like the modest middle ground budget videos. My budget is a range, I try to stay between $30-$50/week (cooking for 1 person), some weeks I go way under and others I go way over if I’m stocking up, but I like seeing these realistic budgets.
I loved this video! Would love to see more “modest budget” meal plans/ grocery plans etc.
Those govt budget recommendations blew my mind, that is so much! So many families would feel like they were rolling in luxury with such a high grocery budget surely even on the thrifty version 😮
That would be nearly $320/month for me. I've never had that much money to spend on food. This doesn't include household items and Co.
@@EmmaHope88 yes exactly! Insane!
As a family of 5, I cringe when I spend over 200 in a week, and that’s including household items. I would feel like I could buy whatever I wanted on the govt budget 😂
I would love to see more of these mid range budget meal ideas! This is more similar to how my family eats
I just looked up my thrifty cost for my specific family, $1,200. Our budget is $900 per month but that includes dog food, household goods, personal care etc. I do have pantry storage I work through though and I have a “personal allowance…” When I see good deals/stock up prices, I often spend it on that. I don’t do hair dye or hair cuts, and that’s the sort of thing it’s for. I do use it to treat my kids out sometimes though or buy a gift or piece of clothing.
I loved this. I'm really excited about the frozen dough! I don't have the courage or patience to try to make my own, so this is perfect. A comparable brand in our local store is $7.99/5 loaves which is still cheaper than what I'm paying now. I love the versatility of this product!
We use that dough and make Stromboli out of them. Let them thaw and split one loaf into two pieces. Roll out and add your favorite pizza toppings. Fold up and seal. Turn over and add a few slits for ventilation. Bake 10-15 minutes at 350. Brush with garlic butter. Dip in pizza sauce. So good!
This video is truly realistic and doable. I have tried every budget there is from $30 to $70 a week for 4. My husband like that I saved money but not so excited about the budget meals all the time. This is more the real deal. We typically spend $75 for about 3 weeks and about $150 once a month. You worked hard on this.
Yes, more of these please. Plus, we always finish off our leftovers. I grew up that way, and we do not waste food. Baffles me that some people do not.
It breaks my heart to throw away food. Usually happens when someone gets lost in the back of the fridge or accidentally left out and can't be used. Breaks my heart
love the idea of buying premade bread dough to make hamburger buns and other things!
I love the middle of the road meal planning videos so I can get some new ideas for average household family dinners
I would love to see some “middle of the road” budgets used at the grocery and/or Walmart hauls!!!
I like the middle of the road route. We are not on a budget. But we also dont have an endless supply of money either.
Yes...loving the moderate grocery budget meal plans. $200 a week average is my goal for my family.
my grocery shopping and spending is absolutley disgusting. I need to change and I have been watching all of your videos. Thank you and these types of videos are just so great to see and helpful
The Rhodes pre made dough is genius. Thanks Mindy, all great dinner ideas.
Oh my word ,I live in South Africa and with a $145 if I heard you correctly, I can buy groceries for a whole month and that feeds a family of 4 ,I guess SA is way cheaper and here we thought we had it rough but you have great ideas for meal preparation and I will use these and probably cut my whole meal budget in half ,thank you, sending love from South Africa ❤️
I love that you add in “treats” and some short cuts! It makes it so realistic to do this!
I have been using Rada knives for years,my favorite
Love Rada!! Been using those since I was 18…. I’m 75 now!! ☺️
I’d love to see more of these types of moderate budget meal plans.
I'm British and I still love watching these videos! American food looks so much more interesting than UK. ❤
I love this channel for ideas! I’ve got a 4, 2 & 1 year old so I feel like I’m getting so many ideas as my family of 5 grows 😊
I love doing extreme budget challenges. They really help me think outside the box to make delicious meals for my family for very little money. Thanks for all the ideas Mindy! ❤
I think that many families don’t really know how to cook. So if everything in a grocery haul had to be convenience meals, the budget would be higher than in a family who knows how to cook foods from scratch or meals using fresh food.
I enjoy all your videos, but this one is great. That is a lot of food for the money! I am a household of one, so all the things you bought would last me a long time. I really like seeing what meals you came up with. Please do more of these. I need all the ideas I can get. Blessings to you and the family
Love this! But I also miss watching you cook- I have learned so much by watching your play by play cooking. Often you’re video is cooking with me as I’m cooking for my family… play, pause, cook. Play, pause, cook. Etc
Thank you for making inspirational videos for us!
I think this is more realistic. Many more options. I still love the extreme budgets meals but really enjoyed this. ❤
Thank you for this video. We recently had to lower our food budget. This is very helpful. I have been trying to cook from my pantry alot recently. I had some extra groceries stored. I am currently trying to meal plan and prep better. So far its going pretty well on cutting the food budget. These videos of yours are extremely useful and I have taken alot of tips from you. Thank you for your hard work. God bless you and your family.
Would also enjoy grocery list and meals.
❤yes please!❤ more mid-range budget videos!❤
Loved this video. This is where we are, and most people I know. Somewhere between $500 and $600 a month in groceries. Mostly from scratch and store brands, with some convenience stuff thrown in. The extreme budget meals were great to watch for awhile, but they don't help out for normal every day ideas.
I love how creative you were with the frozen bread dough!! So many great uses! I love homemade baking but this is not the season for it in my life! This makes it more accessible with where I am right now.
Yes, I definitely need to pick those up more often. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner!
I love that not only is your food plan reasonable, its simple on prep.
I have watched you since before covid. Never thought I’d need an extreme budget but after a freak storm..power outage for 6 days..all perishable food gone. So I need the regular foods plus stocking up again. Thank you for sharing these!!
This was a very realistic grocery haul! Thank you.
I like moderate middle of the road planning videos. Please. Thanks. 😊😊😊
Love this video! You’re right, there is a need for more videos in this price range. I am not interested in extreme budget eating from the dollar tree. I spend about $150-$165 a week for a family of five. I will be buying some Rhodes bread dough next time I shop! Thanks!
I absolutely would love to see more videos like this..I also have a family of 5 (41,41,15,12,12) I recently upped my budget to $150 and it worked for now so I would definitely appreciate more videos like this one
Mind blown about the s’mores shortcut!!! 🤯🤯what a great idea!!
Yes, please, do more like this one. It’s so helpful to see all your variety. Thank you!
I really liked this modest budget video. For my family of 4, I try to stick to a monthly spend amount of $550-$600. Would love to see your approach to building a meal plan and shopping list where you're leveraging sales/deals and incorporating any leftover items into the next week's plan. I do an okay job at it, but always learn so much from you!
Same here!
I suggest Jessica Wanders' channel. She tends to do this thing about once a year or so where she does a budget meal plan for several weeks and rolls her leftover items into the next week and builds a pantry that way. She's Canadian. She's currently doing a $21 for 21 meals plan and is in week four or so.
@@EmmaHope88 I will definitely check that out. Thank you!
The yeast in that bread makes the house smell so great… 🎶
I really enjoyed this video! This is EXACTLY what a normal week at my house looks like, both in product type and cost. I definitely gained a few new ideas, especially using the bread dough in such a variety of ways. Thanks!
More videos like this, please. I’d love to see some menus for a family of 2.
Those cosmic crisp apples are LIFE.
So good! I just picked up another bag today. They don't last long here.
I'd love to see more middle of the road budget meal plans. I try to spend between $150-$200/ week for my family of 4.
These numbers are wild! I’m guessing they had to average the cost of groceries from across the US which can vary so greatly… I live in Pennsylvania and have a family of 7. I try to keep our weekly grocery bill around $175. 🙌🏻
I have a family of 8 in PA and I try to stay around $250 (that includes household items as well.)
Currently a family of 4 (and pregnant) in NM and I try my best to keep to $110/week for food and household and it can be pretty difficult.
I think they are using 'fresh' food amounts where there is more waste for skins, etc. They are recommending for the 2 of us around 19 pounds of veggies & 14 pounds of fruit... a week!
Definitely a fan of this budget range concept. Feels realistic for the average week/month.
I've been really frustrated with some budget meal content as we typically eat quite a lot of fresh produce and both my son and i are trying to eat healthier. A lot of the budget meal videos I've seen are just not the way we eat. I love your ideas and i'm so thankful to have found your channel.
Hey Mindy perfect timing, I just got back from the food store I spent 275.00 for my family of 4 adults and that is for more then a week. I only shop 2x a month and I did great, have a great day.
That sounds like a great trip for 2 weeks!
Hi mindy I live in England I often go to Aldi for my main shop and also our version of Walmart is called Asda I love your videos I would love to see some in the middle videos. I am a Mum of 2 kids which are grown in now my Daughter has just got married and my son still lives at home , but I am always cooking and looking after them all still the kids my husband the dog friends and family I have cooked baked cleaned all my life it was my mum who learned me how to cook,clean and run a household manage money you are a great inspiration to me all my love to you and your wonderful family keep up with your amazing videos ❤❤❤
Love your videos! I agree there's not many in this price range or frugal but not extreme. Super helpful!
Just stumbled across this channel. I think this woman is a genius. Love it.
Excellent, so simple that a man can comprehend!
I definitely want more videos like this! This moderate budget is where I hang out most of the time, even though the extreme budgets are fun every now and then
Thank you for this video. I have a family if 6 and I’m spending like $500 a week so this really helps!
The Rada tomato slicing knife is wonderful!!!
I very much appreciated the middle-of-the-road grocery budget. If you mix them up with some of the "challenges", we win!
My mexican household feeds 7 people and we always have more than enough produce that we get from the food bank and it’s all good
Right up my alley. Not a crazy low or high budget. I would just need to tweak for 5 adult eaters. One with diabetes. Thanks!
holy cow, i just figured mine out for my family of 9, and it's over 2000 a monthly for the thrifty household. I don't even spend that with formula and diapers and non edible items. i also include pet food in my monthly grocery budge.... we usually spend around 2600$ in IN. I guess we are doing pretty well when we look at the chart
This budget meal is great , this is more what we could use.
I am interested in middle/modest budget videos, yes.
Love my Rada knives!! They get used daily and I have had them for years❤
Love your videos. I'm prediabetic and always looking for new food ideas
I enjoyed this video. Even though I live in Australia and some items we don’t have here I really appreciated how realistic it was for modern times. Utilising some convenience items plus fresh produce was great. And yes there is definitely a gap in the market for this middle of the road stance.
Many thanks
Yes! Finally! Love this “moderate” budget meal plan/grocery shop! More please ❤ when you’re ready
I love that you highlighted the USDA Food Costs at Home - it's totally possible to spend less than those plans. Jay over at @thriftyfoodplan has been beating the Thrifty Plan every month and she has such a healthy diet. Thanks for these ideas - you always come up with great ideas.
yes!! would love to see more videos like this. I also love all of your other videos as well so don't stop those but these are right on point for our typical grocery situation. We are a family of 5 about to be 6 actually so these are just as helpful!
Yes, I'd love to see some modest recipe/ budget ideas
i LOVE that you are working with Rada! They are phenomenal! I have some products that I have had since BEFORE I got married 16 years ago!
Hands down my favorite knife is the Cooks Utility knife!!! I use it every day! I have 3 now I think. haha
Love ❤ the smore shortcut especially with the chocolate and graham cracker prices 🎉 win
Hey there, Mindy! I would love to see more videos like this one because I’m able to take these type hacks and modify it for me. I live alone and I generally shop twice to three times a month. I really like your ideas for shortcuts; one of my favorites is the one where you make a chicken salad or spread by using rotisserie chicken or can chicken and mix it with different kinds of prepared dip from the deli section. I loved the buffalo chicken salad for sandwiches or with crackers that I can have for lunch or dinner over a few days so that I don’t have to think too much about it. Thanks for sharing your ideas and recipes. I really appreciate it.
That’s one of our favorite meals especially in the summer. Thanks for watching!
Yes! More of these videos, please😊 This is so helpful for the price point. I have a really hard time coming up with these kind of recipes while staying in a budget.
I believe those budgets (as well as SNAP) also include grocery products like toilet paper, dish soap, etc. Which would easily hit those numbers on the low end.
Great video. I'm on a fixed income and with food prices soaring, I'm always looking for ideas to make good meals for less. Thank you and God bless you ❤️
More of these please! Much needed on RUclips
While I don’t mind watching extreme budget videos, I really appreciate your middle of the road REALISM
Love all your videos, this budget range is more in line with what I spend.
I love this price range of food.
Loving the "REALISTIC" weekly meals Mindy! More Please:) Thanks from Texas Mindy!!! lol
I love the middle ground meal plans. Realistic for most weeks for me.
I like this! Puts a little less stress to make it all work when you're able. A lot of times there's so much dinner content valued at x or y but doesn't account for breakfast snacks, company at the house, or lunch
I'm going to have to see if I can find those bread dough thingies, they would take up less space in the freezer too. Love these realistic budget videos. Sometimes you feel guilty on the splurges despite still being on the low side because you see what can be done on the extreme low end
My Rada regular paring knife is the most-used knife I have ever owned.
I have a Rada paring knife that my grandmother bought before I was born. I'm 49, and it's still perfect. I use it everyday. I've bought several more knives over the years. They're all I use.
Yes! More reasonable average meal plan videos please! Loved this! Thank you!
I love the extreme budget videos, but I love these too. This is still giving me great ideas for budget friendly meals, without feeling guilty for spending more than $5 a meal
I have rada knives from my parents...I can remember using them as a teen at home..Im now 56..so these knives are at least 50 yrs old and still going strong...Ive bought more along the way of course, their knife sharpener is unbeatable, a couple swipes and sharp as brand new..
