I am a Senior lady. When I get coupons, I cut out and bring them when I shop. I include baby items coupons. I love going to the baby department, and putting coupons on diapers, food, or whatever. I feel wonderful knowing how happy those coupons will make a Mother with a baby. It is my good deed for the day.
What a lovely idea! Once I had a lady hand me a few of hers another time the cashier discounted a few items saying :you come here regularly but you don't seem to get any coupons in your mail so let's get you a little reduction...so sweet (The reason I don't have coupons is I don't have any flyers of shops to stop me from buying things on offer I don't really need)
The best thing about watching the video is the comment section where all like minded people who want to save money leave some awesome comments! It is funny how people who are frugal will watch such videos and save more money. This channel should be watched by people who do not know how to save. As usual I enjoyed the tips. Thanks Jennifer.
@@KristynLorraine I learned this fact in a business class while in college. I always buy either generic or store brand. BTW, Walmart's house paint is manufactured by Sherwin/Williams and is at least $10/gal cheaper and IMO a much better paint than the name brand.
When my store does this I ask for the print out of where they moved everything. Unfortunately it is kinda like the big sign they have that has items in alphabetical order and the aisle number... but if you study it, you can figure it out. I find it more difficult when they don't change the aisle, but just move the items around on the aisle.
Dawn at Centsible living with Money Mom had another good tip: at the end of your shopping, look critically into your cart and put back at least one item.
I actually did that recently! I was at the store and had already picked up a couple snack items and chose not to buy one more because did I really think we needed that this week? What if I chose to get it a week or two from now instead? Impulse buys are tough for me.
I keep the receipt when shopping and write down the prices of the items I buy most so when planning the next shopping tour I already know how much they will cost me ,if they are on offer I buy bulk to tie me over to the next offer keeping in mind the expiration dates of course
It occurred to me that we should do this too! (Especially if you're planning on moving house in the next 6-9 months 😅) 1. You won't waste food because it gets "lost" in the pantry or freezer. 2. You won't have to throw it away before moving and 3. You will have LESS to move in the end.
I learned all these tricks while being a military wife. All the enlisted personal and their spouses used a bartering system for things like babysitting, car repairs, etc. I love bartering.
Nowadays, the best way to budget is with grocery pickup. Fill your cart and when that cart goes over budget, empty it until it is on budget. Your staying out of the stores and not having anyone tag along are the big money savers. Easy-Peasy!!
My Mom & Dad taught me a lot of these. I'm now 66. I buy most from Walmart PU but some things I feel more comfortable going in to get. I got tired of complaining to Walmart Cust Service about the quality that the pickers brought out to me. However, when I go in, I do have a list and I go in with blinders on. Doesn't matter if I'm full or starving. I do know the marketing tricks & the per unit pricing. LOL Thanks for sharing ... gt
I actually prefer NOT shopping online/grocery pickup because I have a hard time visualizing just how much food I'm ordering. So for me, I save more money shopping in person.
since the pandemic, i have learned how to shop once a month for groceries.saves time, saves money, saves my sanity. i don't love shopping so i became the best at it i could.i'm never going back to my old ways because this way rocks!
My husband was always adding so many items to the cart crashing my budget, one day I had him use his own cart and had his cart subtotaled before my cart, he was shocked at how much he had been blowing the budget.
Way back in the sixies my first husband said I was spending to much a week on food which was a whole 12 dollars. So he decided to go with me and show me how to shop. Well he did and when we went to check out his shopping for food came to just over 40 dollars..He sure showed me!!
I wish they would stop putting in so many of the name brand items. The stores aren't getting any bigger so they must be removing some of their own brands to make it all fit. I started shopping a Aldi specifically for their brand I can go anywhere else for name brands and that's not what I want.
I know it’s more time consuming but I’m a “cherry picker” shopper which means I’ll get the sale or less expensive items at different stores. I don’t go to every store every week. I know what and where I want to buy from my list. I use coupons as well as rebate apps like Ibotta also. It just depends how much time you want to put into it. I like to stock my extra freezer with sale items so I don’t have to purchase much all the time. Some weeks I only need fresh items. A good freezer tip is to use Press’nSeal. It’ll keep meat fresher then just leaving it in the store packaging. Also I’d like to see a vacationing on a budget video.
I look at the products I use everyday. I find the phone number of the company. I call them to tell them that I love their products. Most of them send coupons, samples and/or a coupon for a free full size product. I did this for Lipton instant diet lemon tea. They sent me a coupon for a free full size product.
Our grocery stores have arrows on the floor.... Covid. I still go the wrong way, or miss something and have to go back around the store. It can be frustrating.
Before going to store compare the promotions between stores, know the minimum price of an item, sometimes brand items go lower than generic in promotions (got brand rice for 65c of euro for kg and store rice is 77c), promotions are always rotative buy enough of items you use to last until next promotion, write a list of what you have in the pantry, fringe and freeze, go less often to buy groceries, fresh produce properly stored lasts at least 2 weeks, don't buy pre made meals, know your portions, eat enough to maintain an healthy weight. If you are overweight you are buying too many calories (excluding the 1% of the aces that are due to metabolic imbalances).
I hate grocery shopping and never tried the grocery pick up until covid started. What a game changer! I can price compare at home without being in someone’s way in the store and it’s easier to stick with the budget. If we’ve gone over what we want to spend then we go through the online cart to see what can be removed or what can wait til the following week before checking out. Same with Target shopping because that store can be dangerous to the bank account.
I go shopping every 2 weeks and use the veg and fruit that will go bad the quickest and leave things that last longer (can veg and apples and oranges) for when the fridge stuff runs out
You have very good tips . I downloaded the talking app. So when I do the shopping I talk to the app . Fun and interesting . I do get weird looks tho....no problem .
I always enjoyed taking my kids with me grocery shopping with me. We talked and they learned how to compare prices and felt like they were a big help in putting things in the cart. The kids I see nowadays in stores are always asking for something, screaming, throwings fits, talking back, etc;. Yep you got kids like that it would be hell, mine didn't do those things but of course the reason why they didn't was they knew who the parent was and who the child was!
I like taking *one* kid, it's like a special day out and we get to chat in the car. Taking all six was a three ring circus when they were young. I was younger then, I doubt I could pull it off today lol
I fell and got hurt pretty bad several weeks ago, and thankfully Walmart offers their free grocery pick up. It has made life so much easier while I am recovering. I am 90% better now and still use this service. It save me money because I'm not in the store being tempted. And as I make my grocery list on their website, it keeps tabs on how much I'm spending. Pretty sweet. When I am able I also shop at a big store called Winco, because their prices are great as are their store brands. Tomorrow we are going to Costco, and if you really pay attention to prices, you get great deals there. But you do need to put some thought into it. Good video , good points tfs 🐤🌵🌱🌴💐🌷🌻🌞🏜️💗🐣💐🌷🌹🌸🐤🌵🌱🌴💐🌷🌻🌞🏜️💗🐣💐🌷🌹🌸
I’m waiting for a hip replacement surgery so I started online ordering with curbside pickup. My husband does the pickup and it has worked like a charm. I have saved so much buying what is on my runout list every two to 3 weeks. I will do this even when I am healed! 😄👍
Serve them...he will eat them eventually. After my husband retired he used to go grocery shopping with me and he remembered prices from the old days...the meat prices shocked him. Fortunately he learned early on that we would not always have meat for supper.
When I met my hubby he ate peas, corn & carrots...he also considered potatoes a vegetable. :p So I've been cooking his veggies and mine also. Then his doctor complained that he wasn't eating enough green veggies and he decided to try some of mine. He exclaimed "Wow! These are good!" I said..."yeah! You think I eat garbage?" His issue was his mom always made canned veggies...I buy frozen. No sodium and better taste. Now he only added green beans, broccoli, spinach and asparagus to his menu...but better than before.
If my husband does the grocery shopping, our budget will be automatically blown. Lately I’ve been doing grocery pickup and save so much by not being tempted and only buying what is necessary.
Reminds me when I told my late husband we were having a "Blue Plate Special" for supper. When he came to the table and saw there was no meat he asked why. I said this is a blue plate special, just vegetables and I believe I fixed cornbread as well. He was not a happy camper that evening but he learned to enjoy it. We had it at least once a week during the years that times were lean.
If only my husband would eat meat out of the Freezer! For some reason he won't, so I have to go more often. I write a list and do my best to stick to it.
So true! I go to buy milk and eggs and walk out paying about $100 for other stuff that I use eventually but, I bought it just because it was on sale. I avoid going now but when I do go for few things I do not take a cart with me.
They move stuff in BJ's. My husband grabs stuff. I have told him it's not on the list but he says we need it. No, we don't. Coupons are for new items. We eat raw vegan meals. We don't eat meat. I shop by price per ounce, not bottom line price, and I calculate in my head. I'm never over budget that way.
Hello Jennifer, I am sure you know this, but just in case others don’t know technically we are not debt free when you pay off your house. 1. Real Estate Taxes 2. Water 3. Garbage Pickup 4. Sewer 5. Health Insurance 6. Medicine or Medical Insurance 7. Car Insurance 8. Car Registration Fee every several years All the above and replacing broken appliances, furniture. So just because you paid your mortgage in full you may be “debt free in paying a mortgage” however, you still have typically money that is owed to other people for just living in a paid home. That tallying up to about 1500 or more depending where you live. So there is no such thing as debt free!
You're paying for those things as you use them. Debt implies a loan. Debt free doesn't mean you never have to pay for anything again, it means you don't owe anything on a loan like a mortgage, auto loan, or college debt. I have no debts but of course I still have bills for utilities, insurance, groceries, property tax, etc. I doubt anyone is confused by the difference between a bill and an interest bearing debt.
Tip # 38 for saving your money, are you still washing your dishes with a dishwasher, stop wasting your money, go to the dollar store buy a plastic wash basin, drying rack and a bottle of liquid detergent and wash them by hand, its faster and its cheaper.
@@annievautour9069 Good point, a basin takes less water to fill and if you have a stainless steel sink calicum will build up and make it harder to clean.
@@bruce5895 true! never thought of that. I just clean the sink with Comet. I have always used those thick plastic basins for washing dishes while camping though!!
@@annievautour9069 If you keep using your sink it also wears out the stoppers and makes the bottom grates gritting, then you end up having to replace them, if you want your sink to look nice spend a few dollars and buy a good stainless steel cleaner. Or another cheap way to clean the sink is wet it down sprinkle on baking soda and rub in the direction of the grain, then spray undiluted vinegar, wait a few minutes, wait again, rinse off and your done.
@@tammybragdon7313 yes the app is by "Sleep Easy Budgeting LLC" in the Google play store. Maybe if you have iPhone there's another comparable app. What I love about this app is that you can change the tax and only apply it to relevant items. So you know exactly the amount due!

I worked in a meat packing plant, packing bacon. We just changed the cards for different companies- same meat
What about different “smells” of it? I was always curious about how that is produced.
Yes, I have heard all store brands are produced by name brand companies. What we pay for packaging!

Just when you have the aisles memorized the grocery store moves things around to make you look at the items you never would buy.
When my store does this I ask for the print out of where they moved everything. Unfortunately it is kinda like the big sign they have that has items in alphabetical order and the aisle number... but if you study it, you can figure it out.

I keep the receipt when shopping and write down the prices of the items I buy most so when planning the next shopping tour I already know how much they will cost me ,if they are on offer I buy bulk to tie me over to the next offer keeping in mind the expiration dates of course
My husband and I have only spent $105.69 on food for February. In January we only spent $14.00 on food. Eating thru our stockpile.
Awsome!!!!! Love it!!! Keep it up .. u can do it !!!

the best and most basic tip is meal planning and having a list. that’s why it’s on all the lists. it just works. great video
I actually prefer NOT shopping online/grocery pickup because I have a hard time visualizing just how much food I'm ordering. So for me, I save more money shopping in person.
Interesting....a lot of people recommend a meal plan..I find shopping sales and plan your meal around it better.

I love shopping at Aldi! Sweet and Simple!
Yes me too!
I wish they would stop putting in so many of the name brand items. The stores aren't getting any bigger so they must be removing some of their own brands to make it all fit. I started shopping a Aldi specifically for their brand I can go anywhere else for name brands and that's not what I want.
Authentic Chinese cooking is NOT focused on meat. It’s usually used as flavouring or accent. Meat is often chopped small or minced.
Tip #1 is so me. My husband knows he is band from grocery shopping😅. We stock our freezer and it saves us a ton of money. Aldi is the best.
I know it’s more time consuming but I’m a “cherry picker” shopper which means I’ll get the sale or less expensive items at different stores. I don’t go to every store every week.

I write out my list in order of the aisles. Gets me outta there quicker
I need to start doing this! Shopped today, must have gone back go the same aisle 4 or 5 times 🤦♀️
I always do this, sure saves a lot of time. Now I do mostly grocery pick-up where there is no charge
Our grocery stores have arrows on the floor.... Covid. I still go the wrong way, or miss something and have to go back around the store. It can be frustrating.
Kroeger has a bad habit f changing isles for things. I'm sure it is to keep you hunting and spending more. This was the 2nd reason I switched to Aldi.
I do the same thing.
Some Kroger stores may give shoppers a "store map". The Kroger in my area gives them when requested. I learned this from my son who worked there.
Do you have a video on your monthly meal plan? I love this idea.
Before going to store compare the promotions between stores, know the minimum price of an item, sometimes brand items go lower than generic in promotions (got brand rice for 65c of euro for kg and store rice is 77c), promotions are always rotative buy enough of items you use to last until next promotion, write a list of what you have in the pantry, fringe and freeze, go less often to buy groceries, fresh produce properly stored lasts at least 2 weeks, don't buy pre made meals, know your portions, eat enough to maintain an healthy weight.

We use meat as a condiment. We also do alternate day meat meals and have lots of salads.
I go shopping every 2 weeks and use the veg and fruit that will go bad the quickest and leave things that last longer (can veg and apples and oranges) for when the fridge stuff runs out
I shop at Aldi too. Helps me to stick to the plan.

Go straight ahead to the grocery aisle and use a blindfold until you get there 😁
Great Tips, Thank You! :)
Thank you Joni!
Excellent advice.
Thanks for the tips. They where great
That way you don't have to hunt in the middle for what you want-Just go to it . Other stores may have customer maps as well when asked for them.

Yes. Same with bjs. It's frustrating.
michelle-- i hear ya. i go there like a commando operation. make a list, go when it is less busy, grab what you need and run like hell!
They move stuff in BJ's. My husband grabs stuff. I have told him it's not on the list but he says we need it. No, we don't. Coupons are for new items. We eat raw vegan meals. We don't eat meat.

Hello Jennifer,
I am sure you know this, but just in case others don’t know technically we are not debt free when you pay off your house.
1. Real Estate Taxes
2. Water
3. Garbage Pickup
4. Sewer
5. Health Insurance
6. Medicine or Medical Insurance
7. Car Insurance
8. Car Registration Fee every several years
All the above and replacing broken appliances, furniture. So just because you paid your mortgage in full you may be “debt free in paying a mortgage” however, you still have typically money that is owed to other people for just living in a paid home. That tallying up to about 1500 or more depending where you live. So there is no such thing as debt free!

I have no debts but of course I still have bills for utilities, insurance, groceries, property tax, etc. I doubt anyone is confused by the difference between a bill and an interest bearing debt.
I don't think anyone is really that stupid to think when they pay off their mortgage they will never have to pay another penny.
