    Once you go frugal you never go back. My wife always teases me that if we were to win the lottery I would still be buying the managers
    specials at Krogers.

    Kroger employee here! If you wanna score more of those friday/saturday/sunday coupon specials, do two orders! Use your downloaded coupon on the first order of 5. Then on the second order ask your cashier to use their fail safe (paper copy of the coupons). This only works for the Friday/Saturday/Sunday coupons.

    I had my frugal meal moment a couple of days ago. We had pulled chicken, added a can of soup, a bag of broccoli, and a cauliflower rice veggie mix. Low carb casserole in 15 minutes all from stuff I had in stock and it was awesome! Cookin like Christine!!!!

    I love that you scan the receipt into Fetch in the parking lot! I never thought of doing that, and I can’t tell you the times that I forgot to scan it, and by the time I remember, it’s passed the time frame it should have been scanned. Thank you!

    Well I went into a store for a coffee sale and they were out. I did however hit a sale on chickens lol. Whole Perdue roasting chickens reg 1.99 a lb on sale for 1.49 a lb but due to them being dated feb 29th they were 99 a lb. I got 14 chickens yes I sure did. I have been shopping like this for over 40 years and I save a lot that way. I love seeing your deals.

    The stir fry can be frozen as is and then we just cook it a skillet or in a stew. The peppers can be frozen and used in any cooking form just like frozen onions you can freeze the sweet potatoes and salsa also just throw them in and pull them out ty

    Hi, so i have to tell you what happened to me yesterday. I was at my local Dollar General getting massive clearance items, anyway, i walked out and an random sorta acquaintance stopped me and asked if I had kids, but grown kids, she asked do you guys eat cereal? I said of course, she said I was omw to food pantry to donate, my husband works for Post cereal company, i want to share. She gave me 10 boxes of a variety of cereal and cereal bars. How awesome is that? Paying it forward! I live by being kind. And random acts of kindness are theBEST! Anyway, love ya girl, u rock!!💖

  • @robinborgione8707
    @robinborgione8707 4 года назад +2

    Like how you explained your plans for your bargains. Great ideas as always. I chop and keep a stockpile of peppers and onions on hand in the freezer because it cuts down on cooking time (and tears, ha! 😭🧅). Also keep French bread on hand in the freezer to make garlic bread/pizza bread/french toast with. 👌🏻

  • @kristinamilbach1170
    @kristinamilbach1170 4 года назад

    I stocked up on household products at Dollar General today with their digital coupons. I bought two All Free & Clear laundry detergents, two Seventh Generation free and clear dish soaps, Eucerin lotion, Crest Toothpaste, and four cans of soup for $9.10. Between the digital coupons, Fetch, and Ibotta I think that's some pretty good savings. Thanks for your frugal ideas!

    My Smiths lets you buy any amount after the first 5. It makes it so much nicer so you don’t have to keep track after you pick the first 5.

    If your bread gets a little crumbly after you thaw, it will toast well. Our bread usually only stays for about a month when frozen.

    @tonyagrimm1024 4 года назад +13

    I went to smith’s today too didn’t know there was a Ibotta for the playtex! The coat looks amazing on you by the way. My butter coupon and Twix bars didn’t come off and I had an item that didn’t come off with sale price going back to have them fix my receipt they owe me $9.50 always check to make sure everything comes off right before you leave the parking lot

    • @pandorahunter
      @pandorahunter 4 года назад

      Here in Cincinnati we know to check Kroger receipts they always mess up. If it's a mis price error then up to 5 dollars of it is free. So of you buy bread thats price says 4.59 but they charge you 4.89 saying once they verify that the tag was labeled for what you said then you get all that back 4.59 and keep the product. Just for 1 item if you bought 2 then you'd get 30 cent back on the second. This is a huge problem with my kroger store they forget to pull last week's sales or some other sale label. It's sucks for them but it's been an issue at the same store for 10+ years so I don't feel bad just reap the benefit. I've done this and it informs the store of the problem and come back my next week and they still havent fixed it.

    I highly recommend looking into buying/ switching to a menstrual cup if possible. There is a some upfront cost but pays for itself.

  • @butterflyinflight85
    @butterflyinflight85 4 года назад

    OK so one of my many jobs at one point had me verifying the purchases for ibotta! So a couple of tips. It's much easier to scan the receipt if you find an empty checkout and just use the belt before you leave the store. Enough people use them that it's no big deal. The other thing that's helpful is to take a pen and mark next to the item that's on coupon. Also it your think it "might" be too dark? It probably is!

  • @michellesunshinestar
    @michellesunshinestar 4 года назад

    I was at Kroger the other day. I found English muffins 2 for 1. So I grabbed a second one since I was buying the first one. I didn't believe the sign. So I asked the cashier to check it, and it rang up. I always get the same cashier every time I go, he's nice.

    We shop at the exact same Smith's. I always try to be there around 9:30ish so I can catch the clearance dairy free yogurt as she puts it out. I had no idea that Smith's had such great clearance until I saw your channel. We are dealing with a food allergy and multiple intolerances and it has helped our budget so much! Thanks for sharing!

    I shop this way as well. But I haven't been doing 100% like before. I don't do the savings apps except for the couple grocery stores I shop. And haven't gotten every coupons. I used to not buy if I didn't have coupon. But I do always buy from clearance meat, bread and all other areas that have clearance. And I too should stop shopping and use all what I already have. But I'm like you that I'll find something in freezer and maybe a little freeze burn but it's fine for the most part.

  • @amberoleary5466
    @amberoleary5466 4 года назад +3

    My biggest deal lately: Darigold high protein milk is usually $4 per half gallon. Walmart has it on sale for $3, coupons.com has $1 off each one, and ibotta has $1 off each one. So I'm getting them for $1 each, 75% off!

  • @frugallyretired9960
    @frugallyretired9960 4 года назад +1

    Wearing the pretty new jacket. Great mega and weekend sale this week. Hubby went with my list; spent about $50 and saved over $40. He even found a few clearance items - hooray for a husband that knew to look for them after shopping with me for a few months. I had morning hair cut and he had the day off. Our Fry's/Kroger you only need to buy 5 or more, not in multiples of 5. You did great.

  • @kristinamilbach1170

  • @TsukinekoHeika
    @TsukinekoHeika 4 года назад +1

    Don't know if it qualifies as a deal. Was not on sale. But, it was an amazing price. I got a one-pound package of ham for 2.98 (compared to 8.99lb in the counter). It's just cold cuts but it's lasted me (single person here) an entire month (3 slices 3x per week). I also got 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs for 7.50 which, in my area, is cheaper than the value-pack. That will also last me a month or longer. Ibotta is hard to use and so far, none of my brands has been featured (I'm a brand-true shopper because of allergies). Fetch is much easier to use. I got around 5000 points in my first month so I think that's pretty good.

I also found a site called BeFrugal which is like Ebates as well except they pay you monthly instead of quarterly..check it out! You can also hook your rewards card to it as well I believe. Great video..the Meatless meat alone would have been $50!. The viewer who sent you the coupons is awesome!

    Hi Christine! My Kroger store is Fry’s in AZ. They’ve changed the buy 5 save $5 to buy 5 or more and save $1 each. So you don’t need to stay in increments of 5 after the first 5. Soooo you could have kept your drink mix if you wanted. 😊

    @starbeck96 4 года назад

    We went grocery shopping today and got some pretty good deals. I need to start using Ibotta again. I love Fetch because of how easy it is to use.
    I went to Kroger today and got Eckrich smoked sausage for 1.88/pack (picked up 3 since my husband is the only one who eats those). Found Barilla spaghetti noodles on clearance for 49 cents each, I got all three. My daughter has been wanting to try the Annie's mac-n-cheese. Found some for 1.79/box so got her three of them (all three were different so she could see which ones she liked). Got 2 boxes of cereal. We already have about 8 boxes and didn't have room for more. I also picked up a few convenience meals that were b1g1f at Publix. I don't buy things like that often, but I work this weekend and most of next weekend, and one day this week, so it is something easy for the rest of the family to cook (and I can take it to work). We also have a busy week ahead. Oh yeah, got two packages of flat bread for 1.49/each on clearance.
    Those were probably some of my best deals. The rest was just stuff we needed for the next few weeks.

    @toshafocht743 4 года назад

    Sooo...I had a cashier tell me a couple months ago that you do not have to buy the 5 for $5 items in increments of 5. You need to just buy at least five items and then it qualifies your order. I wanted to double-check it before I told you. I went to our Kroger affiliate this morning after my workout and got six items that were on the deal. The discount came off on all six items. Not sure if this is true for all Kroger affiliates, but it is certainly true at mine here in Phoenix, Arizona. Just thought I would share.

    FrugalFitMom -Would love a video using the cash back apps like ibotta & the whole process start to finish on how to go about using them. Such as, choosing what app(s) are best/ recommendations, using multiple apps in one trip & how it works when shopping/checking out with them. I'm so curious about these but would love to see how a pro does it before I try them!

    • @allisonfc8373
      @allisonfc8373 4 года назад

      Johanna Elizabeth With Fetch you just Open the app and take a picture of the receipt, that’s literally all you do. With Ibotta you have to open the app, scroll through the deals and click on the ones you bought (or are going to buy), then upload a receipt and sometimes it makes you scan the UPCs on the products. You don’t use the apps while you’re checking out paying for the groceries.
