Hello friends, my name is Christine, and welcome to Frugal Fit Mom! Today we are changing the emergency extreme grocery budget challenge and eating for 8.75 a week per person. Shop with me, cook with me, and see what's for dinner, lunch, and breakfast at our house this week. This will probably be one of our cheapest grocery hauls of 2023. I spent $52.50 for 6 people which breaks down to $1.25 per person per day!

Christine and friends, a trick I learned years ago for making yummy oatmeal (rolled oats), is to add your water or milk (or combo water and milk), salt and oats into a pot and let sit for 5 minutes. After sitting, turn on your heat, and bring to a gentle boil. When it comes to a boil, put heat to a simmer and stir continually over the heat for 5 minutes. Then turn off and serve. This gives the oats a more creamy texture for those who may not like the more sturdy texture of rolled oats. It also cuts down on the cooking/stirring time as the oats absorb some of the liquid while doing that pre-soak. They reheat in the microwave beautifully (about 1 minute of heating), so yes, cook once, eat multiple times. It's a good Sunday morning thing to make so you have the rest of the week to eat it.

What would be cool would be a week 2 where you took things left over from this week (seasonings, flour, etc) and incorporated them plus new things (more seasonings, chicken bouillon, etc) to teach the class how to build a pantry on a budget. Similar to what you've done in the past, but using what you have left over as a base for the next week. I know you've said in past videos that you'd get XX if you were shopping for yourself because even though it's an upfront cost, you can use it for weeks or months to come. I know you've talked about it with shortening.

One trick I have for saving money is that I buy the pie crust, take the two crusts out, and roll them all much thinner, then cut one in half and take a third of the others and in that way I get three or sometimes four pie crusts total. I do this with apple pie as well as people have complimented my pies - I think slightly less pie crust is better!

Loved the pot pie story. My husband had the same reaction the first time I made meatloaf. It's now his favorite thing. Funny when they have to literally eat their words!

The potpies we make in Pennsylvania are so different. What you call a potpie, we would call a meat pie. Potpies here are PA Dutch style with thick, homemade noodles, meat of choice (chicken, beef, turkey or ham) & veggies (typically potatoes, carrots, celery & onions) in a thick, creamy broth. It's made in a large pot, hence "potpie".

That’s just chicken and noodles,….meat pie is a cottage pie or shepherds pie
