I try to tell people that and they just don’t get it. My husband and I were in a very serious accident and we couldn’t work for 2 years and we were on food stamps and an extremely below the poverty level income on disability and we would run out of food or come very close to it every month where I was having to be very creative. After we recovered I built a stockpile because you just never know what might happen in life.

@@taylersangiorgio281 we only received $85/mo in food stamps and had an income of $754/mo for 3 people. But a family member was getting $600/mo and her husband worked full time plus she received wic for all 4 of her kids!! I am pretty sure they fudged something to get all that. It was tough but they were still handing out the government commodities which really helped but when they stopped them I had to figure out how to add butter, peanut butter, rice, beans, macaroni noodles, cheese and the canned goods. I hope and pray you are doing well and make a full recovery.

We have a family of 9. I've gone from 1800 to 1400 thus far. Trying to get it down further! My husband has helped by reducing his impulse food buys. Like you Christine, it's hard for me to say "no" to a good deal! I've been working on it. Even though I have probably 50 packages of bacon in my freezer, I couldn't pass up the $1.00 marked bacon around 8 packages of it! We have a full beef in our freezer, so I do a good job of passing up any clearance beef. The struggle is real! I think maybe my kids just eat more than yours. Lol I would love to get my grocery bill down to at least a 1000 a month. I live in rural Kansas so driving an hour to shop Dillions(Kroger) deals can't always be done every week. I will go if the sales are worth the trip. Sam's is 90min away. I have a lot of Sam's items shipped to my house and try and stock up on the perishables when I go. My local grocery store is expensive. They do have some good sales and try and only buy stuff on sale minus milk. Milk is like 4.30 a gallon!

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. I usually do this over night to use the next day or so. I usually double or Trible this recipe and slow cook it overnight so I will have it the next day. MAIN DISH PHILLY BUGERS with Caramelized onions Serves: 4 Prep time: 20-30 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes Ingredients 1 lb. ground beef 1 teaspoon parsley flakes 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, divided 4 Kaiser Rolls 4 teaspoons Dijon Mustard, divided 1 cup caramelized onions Onions, divided 1 package (3 oz.) cream cheese 2 cup shredded cheese of your choice 1 jar sliced mushrooms, drained Directions Combine ground beef, 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce, 3 teaspoons mustard and half of the caramelized onions. Form into 4 patties and broil or grill to desire doneness. Meanwhile, in small bowl, blend cream cheese, shredded cheese, remaining Worcestershire sauce and mustard, mushrooms and parsley. Spread the cheese mixture on cooked patties, top with reserved onions. Broil or grill 30 seconds more or until the onion are golden. Serve on Kaiser rolls

Ughhhhhhh I wish I found you sooner! I’m not a big spender but I am not great at finding meat deals! Thanks for all the tips 😊

Oh no, the Oiko yogurt are on sale as of Jan 31st! If you saved your receipt you can get it price adjusted within 14 days of purchase.

Great reminder of another way to save. I saved my mom the sale price, an additional 10%, and a delivery fee adjustment at Home Depot years back when a huge purchase she had made went on sale the following week. She thought I was being silly making us go to customer service during my visit, but she was shocked at what she got back.

The end 😂. I would like to know how many meals a week do you cook and how many meals are leftovers? I’ve recently wisened up to choose meals that make good leftovers so I can make extra and have leftover lunches and even dinners. The other day I pulled out 4 different dishes to reheat in the oven and serve as a meal. It was like a buffet of lefotovers 😂.

I cook about 4-5 times a week and the rest are leftovers

I love that light camo sweatshirt! Wish I could find one like it! I did a freezer/pantry cleanout last November. Make tons of room for a quarter of beef we will get this spring.

Laughing cow cauliflower bake is my favorite. 4 laughing cow wedges and 1 tablespoon butter, melt together in a small casserole dish. Add 2 cups steamed cauliflower (bite size pieces), 1/4 cup shredded cheese and either 4 strips of crispy cooked bacon (crumbled) or 1/4 cup diced ham. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. (you could use cream cheese instead of the laughing cow)

HOW?!!! I am amazed! My family of 5 and I have already 2 days into the month. I have spent $176 just on groceries, and that's only for a week, maybe (I didn't buy meat!)

today 3.90 for ten pounds of frozen leg quarters. it is often sold for 9.99, which is too much even at 99 cents a pound; considering the surplus water, extra skin, labor to clean etc.. but at 39 cents per pound, it is worth the trouble.
