- In this Weekly Grocery Haul I’m trying a New Strategy to Beat Inflation. I’m also pulling out my Nesco American Harvest vacuum sealer to repack some of the meat I purchased. I’m breaking it down from family size to smaller portions. This grocery haul came from Kroger with a few things from Aldi.

About this video: In Weekly Grocery Haul (New Strategy to Beat Inflation) I’m moving to a weekly grocery haul to try to beat inflation. I’m hoping to take advantage of the weekly sales. I go Krogering and to top off my preps and fill my freezer. If you‘ve got some tips to help me save on food, please, share them.

Hey Mrs. Denise I really enjoy your videos...
God Bless You
Thank you. Which ones do you prefer the most? Working on ideas for April and May.
@@homemakingwithdenise I like all videos very helpful to me...but the best ones are grocery hauls... Idea for New video could be on How to make a meal for a family for the week on less maybe like $20.00 or what ever amount you think
When I buy ground meat, I flash freeze it in measured, made up burgers. 1/2 cup of meat is approximately 1/4 pound. That way, I can grab however many I need for recipes, choosing 4 for one pound, 2 for 1/2 pound etc. They thaw out so easily when frozen in small amounts. Flash freeze on wax paper lined cookie sheet, and when frozen, place in freezer bags.
Terry, great idea. Love this and will give it a try. Any more tips for me?
Denise, your facial expression in the thumbnail sums it up! That's how I've been looking lately.
I just couldn't believe it. I added everything up before I got to checkout hoping the price would be less. It came out pretty close to where I added it up. I saved about $18.
I so enjoyed this! As a family of 6 on one income it's so good to see videos that showcase how to buy and save. We are moving from monthly to weekly as well. I think it will help us from overspending.
Hi Takisha, if nothing else, the weekly spending keeps us aware of what we are doing and spending. I’m trying the envelope system and using cash. So far…so good. What’s your plan?
@@homemakingwithdenise I've tried that but I don't know why it's so hard to stay the course. Right now, the plan is to write down every penny spent. I need to see exactly where the money is going. Now I am considering finding a produce co-op to start buying local fruits and veggies. When doing that, I will start physically going inside the grocery store (and stop with the drive up orders) once or twice a week.
Oh Denise! I live near the original Bob Evan’s Farm here in Ohio. It’s a beautiful place❤️. Many folks here love Steve Evans sausage. Steve was one of Bob’s children and uses the original family recipe he grew up on as served at home by his mother Jewell. Thought you might like to know that little tidbit😉
Thanks for all your helpful tips to help us all save on groceries!
Thanks for the tidbit. I never heard of Steve Evans sausage, where can you buy it?
I just love your videos. You are just adorable and relatable. I can't wait to place my order for some of your items. Take care!
We’ve been having some meatless meals to save a little money. Mostly involves pasta (broccoli or spinach Alfredo) or eggs in like a veggie frittata. Kroger breakfast sausage is pretty good. We can get it for $2.79 this week. (Must have gone on sale). I freeze the patties right in the package and sometimes separate them in twos. I defrost (30% power) for about 30 seconds for 1-2 pieces before frying up. It makes good gravy for biscuits too, a little lean so I add a little butter or bacon fat. 😁 Thanks for sharing.
Heather…I like that idea re: the breakfast sausage. When I go to the store next week, if the price is good I’ll get two more and separate as you suggest. I haven’t made sausage gravy in a while but this will be a good way to try it.
We buy monthly it's just my husband and I. Our budget is 250 to 300 a month. By summer it will be half of that. We are planning to grow a huge vegetable garden. Im a Homemaker with no kids yet so I have the time. To take care of a garden. We also have 11 chickens we won't have to worry about eggs soon. The cost of bread is rising up so I have been making my own bagels and French bread. At the end of the harvest we will be preserving all of our food.
I have a family if 4 (myself, the hubster and 2 sons 14&12) and when it comes to beef I started buying that Sam's Club 90% tube. Last time I bought it in mid February it was $35.82 and it yielded about 10-1lb packs. I break it up, weigh it, put it in freezer bags and stack in my freezer and the only time I buy more is if I run across an Aldi managers sale where it's half off...then I'll grab it up too. I do the same for chicken too. If you watch the dates on packages in the stores you can pretty much get managers specials alot. It's all about timing 😉
I,m just loving your videos again , thank you so much these kind of videos made me a watcher of your videos from the beginning for so long
Okay Barb, so now I’ve got a question…did you stop watching my videos because they weren’t vlogstyle like this one? Or…do you just prefer this style from me? What videos did you not like? Sorry about all the questions but I want to continue to make content that is appealing so please, spill !
This week I'll be stocking up on block cheese. It's on sale and will go in the freezer. Eating tomorrow at today's prices. Saw brisket/corned beef for a good price, too. Might stock up on those. If we'll be home because of fuel prices, hubby can smoke briskets. Need to hit Aldi for the big pack of hot dogs. No, not the healthiest, but it's food for cookouts.
Oh yes…briskets are on sale for St. Patrick’s Day. I didn’t even think about that. I should try to get one next shopping day.
Since getting my pressure canner I have started canning meats until the garden comes in.
I;m ordering my pressure canner tomorrow! Hurrah!
Denise, you are great. Loved seeing you & hubby working together in the kitchen.
Just bought a small chest type freezer. Looking forward to stocking up on meat sales. Love watching your videos. Your such a sweet lady.
My husband usually buys the meats. He looks at the ads, makes a list, then buys enough for two to three weeks at a time. We break down the bigger packages into what is needed for meal size. Then we deep freeze. Also we have been having vegetable soup and bean soups. Better for our health and pocket. Thank you for your helpful hints.
Hi Kathy. Good strategy. Especially the vegetable and bean soup. I’m going to focus on beans and rice next week plus fresh produce. What’s your plan?
Denise, produce is getting to be so high price. We have an open market near us on Wednesdays. All kinds of household, clothes, etc. sold there. But there are also many vegetable and fruit stands. We can buy bok choy, field peas, carrots, ginger, bananas and the list goes on. Right now it is strawberry season. Some work but the fresh taste is so good. Oh, we do a white chili with turkey meat and white beans. Give it try.
Denise I live in Michigan our Kroger and Meijer have been out of meat all the time could not get a chuck roast for 2 months it’s always hit or miss. So I ordered from Butcher Box and love it. Good prices and quality plus they gave products
Hello Mrs. Denise😊. I enjoyed your video. Personally, I’m a weekly shopper. For me, it’s much cheaper because I get the flyers from the stores I frequent and I go through my fridge n cabinets to make a list of what I should get. It helps alot! Your husband’s fish really looked great. Did you eat some of his fish too? Ok! Gif bless.
Hi Lovely. If there is one food I try to stay away from…it’s fish. I don’t like it. As a kid, I ate it because we ate what Mama put on the table but now I’m the mama so I don’t have to eat it. When he makes fish I have something else. What food do you absolutely not like?
@@homemakingwithdenise lol Mrs. Denise. I understand. You know? As a little girl my siblings and I use to catch the City bus in Missouri and go catch fish. But guess what. I too don’t too much care for Certain Fishes. That smell too fishy! But have incorporated certain ones in my diet when I want fish, like Salmon, Mackerel (can) not fresh I Don’t like it. Thanks for responding ❤️
I do think that Aldi has the best produce prices. The prices are crazy.
Oh,and a note about the saltine crackers... I have noticed a shortage here (southeast Mississippi) for at least the last month or so. I prefer the Premium brand but there were not even any store brand. The other day I found a box of the Premium ones and grabbed it.The stocker at Winn Dixie said they have not been able to get them, even though they order them.
Dannie…seriously? Crackers? But yes…crackers. I’m going to learn to make my own. One of my friends have great recipes on this. Any other hard to find items?
Morning star veggie breakfast sausage tastes like regular pork sausage. Morning star is awesome but getting pricey too.
Good Afternoon Denise, it's been awhile since i been on your channel.
Welcome back. You’re always welcome here.
Denise, I like your idea of catching the sales throughout the month. While I do a One-month shop, I think I will try keeping a third of it back to catch the weekly specials. I had trouble finding crackers also. My Food Lion had a full shelf of name brand crackers this week. I jumped on them!
Shop your pantry and look at the sale ad and then make your grocery list. I have been doing this for years.
I agree. Shopping the pantry is a must. Do you meal plan from there?
@@homemakingwithdenise Yes after I see what I have in the pantry I will see what I need to buy to make a meal and then I will also look at the sale ad to see what deals I can buy. I may buy 5 jars of pasta sauce if it is on sale and put it in the pantry to save money later. Another thing I do is a buffet night aka leftovers and if there are any easy things left in the freezer to heat up, and the family loves it because of the variety and it does not have to go together (they do not care about things like that). I do love to shop Kroger sales they are the best and I also do the digital coupons.
Grocery shopping at Kroger is usually good with meat sales. i like buying whole and leg quarters there. That was a funny story about your carrot hot dogs!
Those carrot dogs…umm…no thank you. The carrots by themselves were good. They were great in the vegan chili but on the bun…no thank you.
subbed!!! love your channel!
Hello sweet lady, I have had trouble finding saltines anywhere as well and the tags for the cost of them is around $5 here.
Good suggestion to use envelopes and cash. We have been doing so for years according to Dave Ramsey’s guidelines. 😃
♥️katie
Hi Katie. Thanks so much for stopping by. $5 for crackers? That’s highway robbery. I’m going to try and make my own. I think one of my friends might have a recipe. We will see. I am just starting the envelope system ala Alaina from the Organized Money. I’ve learned so much from her. I’ve also followed Dave Ramsey a bit but Alaina…I just love her.
Over the weekend I bought pork butt and breakfast sausage ( on sale at Winn Dixie) and chicken breasts (Sam's Club). I will can the pork and the sausage. With the chicken, I made a pot of white chili and cooked some cutlets. The remaining ones I will probably make some soup to can. No good sales this week so I don't need to get anything, but will check Walmart for canning jars. You got a good selection for your freezer and your pantry. Great job tracking those marked down items!
Thank you. I’m ordering my canner this week and then…we will see what I manage to do.
That is so funny… Here I’ve been vegan for years and years and I’ve never even tried those carrot dogs. AND YOU tried that somewhat new recipe for making vegan hot dogs before me. I do have to say if I do ever get around to making that recipe, I’ll make it on a day I make lentil stew so I can just add the carrot dogs sliced up into my lentil stew. That was a great idea Denise. I really don’t have high hopes for those carrot dogs… hence why I’m dragging my feet to make them. Thanks for your video!!
Debby Jo, they weren’t bad. The carrots were actually delicious but the hot dog bun and the vegan chili on top…it was just weird. They were better as chili! Hahaha!
@@homemakingwithdenise I need to work up my nerve to try them. I’ll let you know.
Ready for your tips.
Hi Clory, I'm trying the strategy of shopping weekly. I'm really taking notice of the sales and filling in the gaps. What is your strategy?
My grandmother was saying that she couldn’t find the Kroger brand crackers at food4less. I’ll have to ask her did she ever find them.Great fillers you picked up.
Hey there. I was at Kroger today and they had got in some Arita crackers (I picked up two boxes) and Saltines. Premium and more store brands.
Have you checked the cash price of the meds? They are much cheaper. One of my husbands cholesterol medicine is over $140 with his insurance. But the cash price at sams is $17.
I like your channel. Also, Aldi have crackers for $.79 and i always buy 3. My other local store charge $3.89 for crackers. 🤔
Wait. What? Crackers for 79 cents? I’ll be checking Aldi out tomorrow! Thank you for the tip.
Simply juices are worth it. We always say once you drink Simply you can't go back. They have the best cranberry juice.
I just love the Simply brand. I’ll have to try the cranberry. Thanks for the suggestion. What coffee creamer do you enjoy?
@@homemakingwithdenise I do not drink coffee so not sure. 😂😂 When I did drink coffee it was alway black. And that was over 30 years ago. No fancy coffee just Folgers. 😂😂
Do you also use the grocery store apps? The better ones learn your shopping habits and present offers based on items you buy. You might get 20 cents more off of the membership price, for example, or double points towards gas or free items.
Yes. I get digital coupons from Kroger. Where do you get yours?
@@homemakingwithdenise I use Pavilions (Albertsons/Safeway) and Ralphs (Kroger). Smart & Final's app is very new, so it isn't that good yet. Sprouts doesn't offer many things I buy on theirs. Basically, I work all the ones at places I shop.
These shipping prices!
The struggle is real. Are you having groceries shipped to you or do you mean shipping prices in general?
Denise please check the GoodRx app or website and use that to get savings on your prescriptions. It can even save you at Kroger too.
I enjoy your videos Denise. As far as your expensive prescription, have you visited their website to see if they have a coupon? I have two very expensive ones but with coupon from websites one is $10 and one is free 🙌. There are just 4 questions and you are done.
I have not recently. I did try GoodRx and for whatever reason, I couldn’t use it. I’ll try again. I’m not complaining, well, not too much, but if I can get this cost down…oh happy day.
Hi Denise-- have you tried using Good Rx and/or do you have a HSA?
Oh my gosh, I couldn’t believe the cost difference! We used GoodRX for a prescription and the prices ranged from $12 to more than $80. We went with the $12. 😉
I have tried to use GoodRx but for some reason, I can’t. I get refused when I try it. I just have to live with it. Someone suggested contacting the company for a coupon so I’m thinking on that.
turkey and cream of mushroom soup = turkey Swedish meatballs. on egg noodles
Oh my goodness! Yes. I’ll have to make that. I love Swedish meatballs,
Only when I'm lucky can I find chicken on sale at that price.
Where are you located? What stores are in your area? Tell me that and then I’ll see what tips I can offer.
Prices are up for everything, I fear what the end result will be. Medications, for anyone that requires monthly prescriptions lets pray, My youngest has a autoimmune disease, not going to talk about extra things that happen, but just monthly for the last 2 years - $675, a month and there is never a discount.
Trust me. I get it. My Multaq is $500 in January and so is the Eliquist. It slowly goes down each month. We just have to do what we can.
@@homemakingwithdenise We have been saving money for our little guy, for whens he is older so maybe he can have a little buffer. I love channels like yours, with the tips you share, they are really helpful. Thank you ❤️
Whew! Those meat prices are high with the exception of the chicken.
Oh yeah. I was just shocked. I remember as a young homemaker shopping at Marsh and watching an older couple discuss the purchase of a roast. This was in the 80s or 90s and some older adults were reduced to eating cat food. Watching their discussion had a huge impact upon me. So…focus this week was meat. I can be more varied for next week but I wanted to get ahead of things.
@@homemakingwithdenise I have found that if you go to country markets or butcher shops, the savings is very noticeable. I have many near me and I pass up Kroger and other large retailers for fresher, more economical options.
Turn your car backwards and your wallet so when you go to reach for it it'll be a reminder
$140 is hard for me to fill a week of groceries, for me and 1 child.
First, tell me your name. I like to know who I am talking to. Next, how old is your child and where are you located. Do you work outside the home or are you a stay at home homemaker. What grocery stores are located in your area? Do you have your own transportation or do you take the bus? Let me know.
@@homemakingwithdenise I live in Montreal, Canada. I have three different grocery stores near me, but they tend to have to same proteins on sale. I do have the same rules as you though, I only shop one day a week. I plan out every meal but having enough variety is hard.
Dear me, Denise, look at all the meat in your shopping haul. A plant-based high fiber low protein diet, is healthiest for humans, and it is also a lot less costly than what you are buying.
The gasoline Price's are rising everyday
Cindy…welcome back. I’ve missed you. Yes. Gas prices are crazy. Who knows where this will end. I’m already thinking about how to save in this area.
