Use these great video tips from Hope! I also check the price per ounce or per serving because sometimes now the smallest or mid size package is cheapest. I also hedge against inflation by buying a yearly supply example denture tablets which we use to sanitize toothbrushes and mouth guards. I bought a year:s supply for $20. Currently a year's supply would be $38. These don't go on sale. Of course it is just a one year buffer but it all adds up. We are also doing things some would consider extreme like cloth handkerchief, cloth napkins at the table and toilet sprayer instead of toilet paper. Saved several hundred dollars that way last year. My colleague has 3 teen girls and herself. They save $300/year with reusable monthly female products. At work I keep "emergency food" so if I forget my lunch or work overtime I am not tempted by drive thru, delivery, etc. So we reconsider every purchase in terms of annual cost. Maybe spending .50 cents more per week for name brand whatever doesn't sound like a big deal but it's $5.50 more per year or $55 over 10 years. Not worth it for us. Love the comparison between diy and readymade.
ОтветитьMay I suggest rectangle shaped glasses for both of you the next time you’re due for a pair? You will probably like the look! Thx for the video!
ОтветитьDid one of your kids go to college ? Just kidding, everything is so expensive I struggle with the cost of food. I’m going to be watching quite a few of your videos learning how to be even more frugal than I am right now, you can always try to get better at saving money
ОтветитьOur Kroger stores have ads at the door still.
ОтветитьI only buy one frozen prepared meal, pizza. The only reason I buy it is on the days I do yard work, I'm usually so exhausted (I'm 74) I need something that required no prep time and frozen pizza fits the bill. The rest of the prepared meals are too salty for my taste, because I cut down of salt years ago and now even restaurant food is like eating a salt lick.
ОтветитьThe only grocery stores close to me are Walmart and Harp's. Harp's is high on everything. Harp's sale prices are higher than the Walmart regular price. We do have an Allen's Food Store, but they are higher than Harp's.
ОтветитьMy folks taught me a lot about making money, but not enough about how to keep more of it. Thank you guys for helping me be more efficient at adulting and enjoying myself while I do it. ❤
ОтветитьAnother thing I like to do is buy fresh meat in bulk when it's on sale due to its approaching expiration date, and then store it in the freezer.
ОтветитьOMG! Yes! You NEED a list! Whenever I don't take a list, I end up with random items to fill up what I feel I "expected" to spend - but I didn't get a bunch of items I needed! So, back to the store I go and spend more to get them. Plus some more random items that worked their way into my basket.
ОтветитьIs fetch available in Canada?
ОтветитьAvailable in Canada?
ОтветитьI just love you both! An old gal from Petersburg, West Virginia
ОтветитьFetch has a reward game spins right now
ОтветитьLots of great advice
ОтветитьThank you! New subscriber here!
ОтветитьAbsolutely great tips. Just what I was looking for. I’m trying to save as much as possible
ОтветитьWhat about the meat / hamburg & spaghetti sauce too go into your beans 🫘 & Rice that adds up too be more money and how many meals do you get out of all of that ????
ОтветитьI too love fetch.. I just collect points so I can get a $5 virtual visa card and then I use that $5 on my electric bill... fetch also has a spin and win on t h e app that you can use once every 24 hours.. I set my alarm so I don't miss the opportunity to get anywhere from 5 to 10,000 free points... I just used a $5 reward today on my light bill
ОтветитьI have to try looking for bread on sale at kroger or wherever
ОтветитьI'm addicted to hunting marked down products 😂 It's a win when I find in the 'general Markdown' part, a product that I have a store app coupon- as they do apply on top of the slashed price.
ОтветитьI utilize my local comissary as a tax free benefit to military. Also 99% of everything I eat is vegan. I do have goat milk products from time to time. It's a small splurge.
ОтветитьWow! Excellent object lesson guys! That comparison of the cooked beans and rice for the same cost if one serving of convenience food was a real wake-up call.
Ответитьhello i make it a point to look at the sales ad, i always have. i made a trip to sams club to buy my meat and a case of tissue 45 rolls $22 . if im going to spent that kind of money for meat this is what i do. i get my sides and fruit & veggies at king soopers. i also use fetch. i see regular ad in the mail and in store. i head to the mark downs in the produce , mine is at the back of the store. i check out the whole store!!!!
ОтветитьWhat do you do with the kohlrabi leaves?
ОтветитьYes to the single ingredients. Thanks for the tips!
ОтветитьExcellent video
ОтветитьI call the markdown areas the botulism counter and happily shop there.
ОтветитьGreat tips! What a phenomenal deal on those Amy’s meals though! They are the best frozen dinners in my opinion.
ОтветитьTwice a week I replace meat protein with a tin of sardines (steak minimum Uk £5, a tin of sardines£1) and sardines are full of nourishment.
ОтветитьHow do you season the rice and beans?
ОтветитьMy Kroger still has paper ads in the store but stopped mail delivery long ago. Did not know they might stop the instore ads.
ОтветитьEven more important to note, there $3 rice/bean bowl was ORIGINALLY $6! Yowza.
ОтветитьI tried the code for fetch and it didn’t work
ОтветитьWe still have ads in our stores...
ОтветитьWe are using your term for treasure hunting at Krogers: sharking! On today’s sharking trip we got a free bag of SunChips from a “Preferred Customer” coupon, then found a tray of three chicken leg quarters on markdown for $2.17 as well as markdowns on salmon burgers, fajita mix chicken, a pound of 80/20 ground beef and yes, some to-die-for, no resistance on my part, bakery made chocolate chip cookies. There was nada in the 99 cent red bag veggie bin and only decaf - the horror! - whole bean coffee in the “Last Chance” section. Oh! And two 1-pound boxes of penne pasta for 79 cents each plus a bunch of fresh Italian parsley, the only full price item. The whole thing came to $20.68. Thanks for your wonderful continuing education. It’s so appreciated. Your Knoxville Doppelgängers, Ken and Sophia
ОтветитьGrow as much of your own food as you can, even if you have a small backyard or a balcony in an apartment or condo. You would be surprised how much food you can grow in large or medium sized flower pots, washtubs, large pails etc. About 10 years before I retired, I planted various fruit trees and bushes, which now matured, cost me nothing to eat fresh and nutritious produce from them. Every month, I participate in a local excess food distribution program in our area that costs $25 to buy one share, no income restrictions or limit on how many shares to buy. Each share gives you from $150 to $200 worth of a variety of excess production food, that would otherwise go to the landfill. Between my garden and this food program, I spend $40 to $60/ mth on the incidentals I need at the grocery store. I eat nutritiously and very well. What I don't need/want that I have received from the food program, I give away to friends, family or the local Soup Kitchen. Everyone wins!
ОтветитьAs a vegan husband and wife we are pretty good about what we eat but it seems the essentials of fruit and veg is going up. We use Flashfood etc to help offset but I struggle with keeping the price down on the shop. I know a lot of people are not vegan but do you have advice on specific ways to keep the fresh food cost down for us vegans? We do stock up on frozen but again, we do need the fresh. We do not have any amish stores around here or bulk shops unfortunately. Any ideas are appreciated. Love the show you two!!
ОтветитьAlso, keep an eye on the screen that shows the prices as things are being rung up. Just yesterday I bought six clearance items that were marked 2 for $1.99 or 2 for $2.49. They all rang up as, $1.99 or $2.49 each. I would not have bought them if that was the price. It was corrected, but if I wasn’t watching, I would not have caught that. I always put things like that as the last items to be rung up so they’re not rung up while I’m still loading things onto the belt and miss it.
ОтветитьLove this 1/5 method! Such a great idea!
ОтветитьI always do a grocery list. I first see what I have and then go from there.
ОтветитьI was laughing so hard at the expressions on Hope's face with the salads lolz😂
Ответить👍👍
ОтветитьYour comparison of the prepped beans and rice is great... what is even better is if you buy your rice in bulk I've gotten it recently when buying 20 pounds for less than 50 cents a pound. That gives you the money to add spices and maybe some canned tomatoes and still be under $3 for an enormous amount.
ОтветитьWhy don't folks cook? There are SO many things to do with beans, lentils and rice! I'm eating lots of red lentils these days. Dal, roti, sauce, soup, with rice, with tons of veg. Yummy 😋
ОтветитьWhen I was on a very limited budget of 75 a week. It was 30 meat from meat store, 20 produce store, 25 dairy carbs and extras. That was it. It worked for two people. Gotta know where to shop.
ОтветитьI like to try frozen dinner and if I like it get the individual items and make it
ОтветитьI watch a lot of videos on grocery savings and I can say this was one of the best I've seen in awhile! I love the beans and rice comparison. Perfect demonstration of how much money people spend on convenience Foods.
ОтветитьGreat share, guys! The only Kroger store we have in our area is a delivery only location, so we don’t get to search the markdowns there. We used to when we lived in Texas though. Always loved that. But we have been able to keep our grocery expenses down. 🙌
ОтветитьI COULDN'T FIND YOUR VIDEOS. TOOK ME A FEW DAYS AND FOUND OUT THAT I WAS NO LONGER SUBSCRIBED? DO YOU KNOW WHY?
