Bad things happen to good people, we all know that. An elderly couple on our block raised 4 children. They seemed to disappear from these people's lives. As time went on, my wife and I got to know them better and as they aged they needed help with everything, their kids didn't seem to care. I've done work on their plumbing, doors and I even painted their house. My wife cooks up things they like and we spend time with them, playing games or talking. These people lived a good life that had some adventurious moments...We need to take care of each other. Making a little bit of food and dropping it off with some necessary supplies makes a world of difference to people..

I’m one of those elderly that lives below the poverty line. But I eat good, my car is paid off with the help of one of my daughters (yes I paid my share for that car until I lost my job) Granted I can only afford to rent a room, but I’m not starving and I have good medical coverage. I lost everything in the 2008 crash so here I am living in a room. But I’m well and alive and I bake my own bread

After watching this video, it’s almost disgusting to me how much food I waste. My next shopping trip, I will definitely keep this in mind 😊

Now put in mind I am vegetarian. Have been for over 35 years. I honestly eat for around 10 bucks a week. I only cook Sundays to make my lunches and dinners for the week. I always take my lunches with me to work and just heat them up. I do have a small farm so I grow loads of things. I do have my own chickens. Now if hubby is home he eats meat but because of his work he's only home 10 days per month. His meals are more expensive. I am blessed to be able to do this.. I was raised in England by my Grandparents who were very frugal. I had a fantastic childhood. I love your channel. I think it's wonderful that you can show people that it can be done... Well done.

You can take one of those $1 side dish packets knorr /rice a roni etc and add 1 bag of frozen mixed veg $1 and 1 can of drained washed chick peas $1 to feed 3 people. you can make it fancy by getting a cheap head of lettuce and make wraps;) I only had $70 bucks for 10 days and I had to get gas but no one went hungry. I will be debt free by Jan 1.

I'm one of the seniors you mention living on disability. I was a productive employed RN for 29 years and never thought I would be a recipient for federal programs, but here I am. I will begin receiving HUD this month, already receive EBT, and receive local assistance with my utilities. I am so grateful, and I am very glad that I was always generous with my time and money going to charitable causes, because now I am on the flipside of charity. They really do help to change the lives of those who need it.l Love your channel , am learning alot.

I go shopping once for 150$ a month and eat EVERYTHING in my fridge, cupboards until the next month. It lets me be more creative with meals and at the end of the month I’m left with the things I like the least. That’s a clue to not buy that again and only get things I really like and enjoy.

I've lived like this most of my adult life, and it's not at all a bad thing. I was a single mom of 4, ages 10, 8, 4, and 2, and could easily feed the 5 of us good, healthy food on $50 a week in the late 80s - early 90s. As an older person now with limited income, I still can cook what I consider gourmet meals from scratch and enjoy both the food and the cooking (which I have always loved). My food budget is around $35 a week, but that includes nonfood groceries too. Once in a while I'll get a "treat", which is generally ice cream or something - life is good.

The same people that become millionaires and stay that way are the same people who live like they're broke. Those kinds of habits will always keep you vigilant for anything from a job loss to a societal collapse. Keep doing what you do,PP. Love your frugality.

Since I retired I qualify for the food bank and only go shopping for items that I absolutely need but did not get at food bank. I go twice a month and get fresh fruit, veggies and can goods. I’ve learned how to freeze all kinds of produce. I eat oatmeal for breakfast, homemade vegetable soup with rice or potatoes for lunch and dinner. My neighbor goes to a different food bank at a church and she and I share and swap foods with each other. She gets potatoes and I don’t so she is my potato supplier. 😎 I’m vegetarian so I don’t need meat, when I get meat I give it to my neighbor or one of my friends who live on a fixed income. Life is good

Hi I just saw this video today. Just coming off of a bad discard and divorce. I ended up moving back to my family home, and put up a tiny shed home for me and my rescue animals. Honestly I spend more money on their care, then I do my own. I am so thankful for someone like you that put this out there. I am working to revamp my life, as I just turned 50. There is so much out there to be thankful for, we are just used to so much excess. Just wanted to give you a sincere thanks

Never judge anyone because you never know what can happen to you in life! I work with elderly people and I seen pictures and their lavish lifestyle and now they living in assisted living in a small studio.

“And here’s my crockpot that I fixed with a lawn mower part!” These type things have my heart. They really are “do what you can with what you’ve got.” So much ingenuity and keeping things out of the landfill. I love that.

You go girl. I fixed my credit and saved for a down payment on a small home which I'm in the process of buying. It's true, it can be done!

I too went to Walmart. And I tried your tip with weighing bagged fruit, and you were correct. The fruit that I bought had an extra 3/4 lbs of fruit

One recommendation I would go with oatmeal or grits instead of cold cereal. It's even cheaper per serving and I believe much healthier than cold cereal.

Next time you make boxed brownies use a cup of cold coffee instead of water and a teaspoon of cinnamon powder, dash of vanilla. Coffee will enhance the chocolate flavor.

I live in California,70 yr.women on a budget. There’s so many places for extra food help, churches, Senior centers, free food centers, or you can go to your city hall for locations. I’ve been in that situation before, so I’m talking from the heart ❤️ Thank You for sharing your tips with us.💕

This is still my all time favorite “series” that you’ve done! I wish people were nicer to you about it and understood it’s just inspiration, not a dictated meal plan! If you ever decide to do this series again, I’m in!

this might be covered in another video, however another way to make your weekly food budget STRETCH is to make a pot of beans once per week. I started doing this about two months ago and the impact it has on saving on food budget cannot be overstated. I found an instant pot at a garage sale and I used it to cook dried beans that I've soaked over night (I most often make black beans) and to the pot I add celery, onions, garlic and peppers of some type....along with herbs and spices. The greatest volume are the beans and dried beans are very inexpensive, they have plenty of fiber, protein and carbs and they are very filling and if you know how to season them, they are absolutely delicious. Making a single pot of beans per week as your "staple meal" (one meal per day) will go a very long way toward stretching your weekly food budget. Another thing is... I found a large ice chest at a garage sale that was in good condition and sealed very well. I use it to store plenty of various types of dried beans and rice and quinoa etc etc that I buy whenever there is a sale. Dried foods keep for a long time and storing them in the ice chest keeps out the risk of any pests.

These are my favorite types of videos. People who think and plan a bit, will find it very easy to do. My husband and I recorded everything we ate for a week (using the pro-rated portion calculations) and it cost $38 for the week. We also live very frugally, even though we don't need to. It's more of a game than anything

Making big batches of soups, stews and casseroles is the key, especially for single people like me. Fresh vegetables go bad very quickly. At weekends I make my food, divide it up and freeze it into meal-sized portions. I usually eat it with rice, pasta or potatoes. I also make my own pasta which is easy, fun and it tastes WAY better than shop bought dried pasta. It only takes 2 minutes to cook too so it saves money on energy bills. I also make flatbread dough. It's just flour, Himalayan salt, yogurt and baking powder. You can freeze the dough and use when needed. They taste 10 billion times better than store bought flatbreads. You're winning at both ends. You're saving money and eating superior food.

This is real and good quality content. I wish more people watched this kind of channels that actually teach good stuff. Keep up the good work! As a woman I am proud of woman like you. This is an example of what a strong independent woman is. Also, wise about money!! Thanks for the video!

I love your channel. I have 2 adults on the autism spectrum. I’m teaching them to be frugal. They love your budget food meals. They challenge each other making menus. You don’t know happy that makes me of them with saving money. Thank you 😊

Being a near 73 year old cancer patient my food,housing, phone are fine. The SOFLO medical/dental situation is monetarily horrible. Dentists and eye doctors are the financial killers. Dental college group broke my jaw extracting a back molar. Radiation (head/neck) ruined my eyes, teeth, and destroyed my salivary glands ergo weight loss of 70 lbs. to 112. Thanks for helpful video on food. Enjoy your day and stay healthy as possible DC

When I saw that chicken , I said "Oh, no, already cooked. Has to be more expensive than raw" but you got everything under budget with treats, too! I'm impressed and can't wait to see the rest of the series.

I work in a produce Dept. If one apple in the bag goes bad we get rid of it, open the other bags and put extra good apples in each one. They are usually too small to put in loose apples. A customer getting more for their money is actually our goal. So she’s correct. Weigh it. Could be 5 pounds in a 3 bag.

I live in the UK. I bought a big bag of porridge oats for 0.60p from Lidl as part of my weekly shop (with things like eggs, apples, yogurt etc) there are many recipes on YT to make cakes and desserts using oats. I made a delicious apple, cinnamon cake that kept well for a week and also breakfast using the oats and drizzled with microwaved apple sauce using some of the apples. The price of fruit here has rocketed yet our government advises us to eat more fruit! I roast a large chicken and use for several meals like stir fry's with cheap instant noodles or rice. Eggs are cheap so I eat a lot of those prepared in different ways. I have'nt got to the level where I would need to be refered to a food bank but I would if I needed to. Your pride does get dented when after working for 30 years, you become disabled and end up on state benefits. I try to stay positive and find recipes to make the most of the food that I buy.

I've been ordering groceries from Walmart since the pandemic hit. The minimum amount is $35. Its been great. I don't always stay at $35, sometimes its $50, and its mostly food, sometimes toilet paper or dish soap. I make less than $30,000 and no food stamps. Thanks for sharing your ideas

My husband is active duty army and although a lot of families complain about the pay, we’ve done a lot with a little because we don’t spend carelessly. I recently went back to work and we’ve been able to save so much more because we did not change how much we spend just because we earn more now. We continue to shop for food within our budget (we’re a family of 3), we reward ourselves on occasion, we have family dinner out somewhere every other week, but do all of our eating at home and that’s honestly been the best way to save. Just eating at home.

Hi i live in uk, i love your videos. I wish we had same living standards as you. I try my best living on £376 a month. Council tax £116 amonth. Gas/eletric £65 a month. Water £33 month. Rest i grow veg, freeze stuff etc and manage to save £25 to £50 some months. Rather pleased with my self.thank you pepper princess for helping me. Xx

I always use the drippings on the bottom of the chicken package to make a perfect gravy. If you don’t need or want gravy, swish some water in the bottom and pour into your crockpot with the chicken bones for a huge flavor boost.

Great ideas for tough situations Prepper Princess. An important add-on when people can is a jar of multi-vitamins. Though it can be found cheaper a jar of 130 nature-made multi-vits is 13 to 14 dollars for 130 tabs. If my math is correct that makes for 0.87 cents a week for one tab a day, the jar lasting over 4 months, which I think is pretty good considering you might not be getting the vitamins needed. A lot of people on or below the poverty line are malnourished. Sometimes not feeling well, fatigue, or even depression, can be the result of malnourishment. Also, a person doesn't have to look underweight to be lacking in nutrients so I just want to mention about taking a vitamin due to ration size meals especially.

When faced with less money and rising costs, we all have to learn to cook either again or for the 1st time, not pull off a wrapper or open a box. Cooking from scratch is a life skill & recipes are endless online. If fresh is too expensive (out of season), buy frozen or canned. You need some kind of veggies daily. Seeds are 4 for $1 at Dollar Tree & planters at thrift stores or Dollar Tree are cheap as well. Soil can be free (check with city or non profits) or very reasonable. You have to want to survive so that you can thrive. Think outside the box. Food waste is huge in America. I buy a food box every month for $15, no meat in it, but fresh veggies & dairy & other items. Valued at over $100, I figure out what I can use, share or give away. This pandemic helped me get my priorities in order & healthier eating is at the top. We can all do better. Thank you prepper princess for an actual plan.

So nice of you to share. It’s hard to make food stretch especially now. You are very kind to do all of that and show everyone how they can make it through a month with little money. God bless you❤️

This is the first video of yours that I have seen! It’s pretty awesome and helpful. I grew up extremely poor and lived this life. I often went with my mom or Aunt to the store and watched her budget and make the most out of her money. I still use many of her recipes that cost very little. Thanks for sharing

At my last job, I would always comment when somebody was looking for change for a dollar to put in the vending machine. Yes, I'm fun at parties. I would tell them they were spending their children's college education. Then I would go to my locker and get out my maple sugar oatmeal, my choco cherry granola bars, and my lemon poppy seed breakfast bars and offer them their choice for free. I made certain to say how many of these I got in a box for whatever it was I spent at the grocery store. Basically, $0.30 for a good snack versus a dollar for a miniscule bag of hot tamale chips. And don't get me started on vending machine soda. The only person making money is the guy who owns the vending machine.

Excellent PP people need to know this. My motto learn how to live frugally even if you don’t need to because someday you may need to

I loved these ideas and have already incorporated this in my meal planning. I love how you included treats too! I would love to see more of this from you. You're doing an excellent job of helping people plan effectively in tough times.

Good shopping/menu planning! To keep bananas from ripening too fast, separate the bunch into singles.

I love this. Honestly, I am very fortunate and I never thought about ppl eating 30 a week. I will not mention the ungodly amount I spend a week. But here is the more important thing... your diet is so much more healthy than mine.... all I can say is WOW!

So glad I found you!! My bro passed unexpectedly from covid, just retired didn't even get his first SS or Pension checks!! I'm gonna move to AZ & have rent free living so all his work won't be in vain, since he missed getting to enjoy it. But I'm way below poverty line too!

Hello from Canada. I love how you do not hide the fact that you and millions of others live under the poverty line and do amazing budgeting to make your food budget work. In Canada, at least where I live in Nova Scotia our prices are at least double what you purchased, even at Walmart. So a person would have to Improvise much more to make ends meet. Food banks, food panties, Loves and fishes for a hot lunch are being used often. Thank you for the food purchasing tips.

Thank you. I did this when I was a new wife and later mother. Times were hard. I am glad I learned these lessons early on it worked then and it works now. Life is.

I have had to do this after a divorce and it was actually healthy for me, I couldn’t afford to over eat! Also, peanut butter or any nut butter is a must have when on a really tight budget.

I was watching a prepper channel with 4 of the preppers talking. They mentioned you😊 and said they appreciate the angle you are going with on your channel and how you are really trying to help people. Good job!

I so appreciate this video. I get really tired of seeing people flaunt their money, belongings, and lifestyle. In reality, most people are struggling, but social media makes it look otherwise. And , I so admire your frugalness. Even though I’ve struggled on and off my whole life, often out of laziness or lack of planning, I tend to go for the most expensive I can “afford” because it seemingly brings much-needed comfort. No matter what my future income, I love the idea of being more frugal and conscientious with what I have.

You go, girl! I pretty much buy the same for my adult disabled son and I. (I always have to qualify why my 48-year-old is sitting on his butt living with his mommy.) I feed us healthy and cheaply, too on about $50 a week. I have to buy him cranberry juice. And the prices have really gone up. thank you, PP. You validate my frugality.

Love it! Please keep this coming! I’m old and with the rising costs of everything I need help like this! I will buy your book as well!❤️

I’ve enjoyed your channel for years now Amber! You inspire me as I’m a senior on a fixed income! I just wish my body was stronger. Ive had Fibromyalgia etc, for 25 years now. I’m 62, a widow With many disabilities. I love 💕 your way of thinking 🧐 !

I have a family of 8. Raising my 3 grand kids and 3 other almost young adults. It is hard. But you encourage me. Love your channel ❤️

I am so glad I found your channel!! Thank you for all the work you put into helping people through these videos!

These are so helpful to so many. I grew up like this. My mom could stretch a ham or a roast like no one else! People don’t know how to do this anymore. Great topic! Keep ‘‘em coming! 💜

I love this.❤❤❤ My best friend grew up with the philosophy that food is the one thing you never deny yourself...not referring to gluttony, only the thrift aspect. If you want grapes and they're the most expensive fruit in the produce dept, then you get them anyway...don't deny yourself.🙄 I can't get her to accept my viewpoint that groceries are one of the EASIEST categories to be frugal with. She also hates a dark house, while I only light the room I'm in. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Oh well, she has more money than I do. I'm not broke and am able to squirrel away almost 1,000 dollars a month, which I am saving for upcoming moving expenses, replacing my car and ultimately buying my first house. 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 Your channel gives me a sane place to hang out.🤗

what amazes me is your positive attitude I almost cried when I stopped eating at restaurants much love

Thanks for this video! I recently started making yogurt again as I did in my 20s. It’s so easy and saves money. I make homemade soup and a large salad twice a week - both with lots of veggies, which is healthy and satisfying!

Loved this video. I have over £18k worth of debt, almost 40 and have nothing to show for it. I am currently on a cash budget debt repayment journey; so all this was very helpful.

I dont know why it popped up in my recommendations, since I live in Europe. I just want to say I am so humbled and grateful for you right now. You made me realise how good my life is and appreciate more the food I can eat. Thank you ❤

Thank you , you are doing an awesome job for all of us. Stay safe my mom and I are looking forward to,all of your teaching videos.

I live in Africa, and don't get food stamps. However, the way you shop and cook is inspiring and I like your tips.

I usually do my grocery shopping Monday or Tuesday night after work (depending on my work schedule) and will get the three-pound Walmart pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for only $2.30! I'm able to make several meals with it with plenty to spare! Black bean chicken soup, fried chicken tacos, chicken salad w/peas either in sandwich or lettuce wrap form, shredded chicken with smoked sausage ($4.50 @ Walmart for 4 pounds) with roasted tomatoes & onions. Shredded chicken with egg noodles from the dollar store seasoned with chicken bouillon, heavy cream, and a couple of bay leaves - tastes just like chicken pot pie minus the crust! Ladies & gents, I could go on...chicken in molé, chicken in salsa verdé over white rice (flavor the rice with juuuust a tiny bit of oil, salt to taste and a couple of bay leaves)...simple, relatively healthy, DELICIOUS, and pocket-friendly! Love you, my friends 🙂

I’m all for it. Great grocery haul. I was the one who took my mom everywhere. She taught me how to shop. Whatever was on sale is what we were eating. Let me tell you we ate good.

Wow! Cannot believe the prices 😱 a 2L bottle of milk here in Australia is almost $4 and that's for the "cheaper" brand. And a cooked chicken is $10 & the veggies...! Don't even get me started. You did good 🙏

You are so organized and this is so well-thought-out

...I would actually add dried red, green or brown lentils to the weekly shop. They are cheap (especially if you buy in bulk) and store in the cupboard for years. So nutritious and extremely versatile. You can make currys, burger patties, shepard's pie, soup, meatless loaf, and so on. Will give you more variety for weekly meals, instead of having the same things every day.

Healthy, cost efficient, delicious and, what's really impressive...sound portions. You do not overeat. If all of the western world are like this, we would solve a lot of problems, in our own countries, even globally.

Watching this series for a second time after Kate Kaden's recommendation. Always enjoy your videos! I like how you keep the food simple and don't waste anything.

I am now deciding to cut the madness of spending. I stumbled for real videos no frills, no nonsense, no regurgitated info. Prepper you are amazing! Thank you so very very much I am appreciative more than you know.

When I see you've posted a video, I get excited to learn something new. I appreciate your content so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You're such a blessing. 🙌 💓 💛

I swing by Walmart around 9 in the morning to check out the meat section. That’s about the time they reduce it. I’ve never had a problem with it. Cook it that day or make freezer meals. I save a large amount by doing this. Aside from your Patreon videos, these are my favorites, and the ones where you hike and find neat stuff, and your financial advice, and … ok I like them all lol

I really admire your self control and diligence, thank you for the informative vids.

GREAT TIPS FOR FRUGAL LIVING . MY HUBBY & I ARE BOTH HAPPILY RETIRED NOW & LIVING THE GOOD LIFE FREE OF STRESS & DEBT. We both invested 20% of our income while working for 40 years & always managed to live within our budget. We were able to take a vacation every year & were able to visit many states. Even traveled to Europe frequently to visit family. We raised a daughter & now have 2 granddaughters . And it’s a joy is to see their success at managing their $$. We were very fortunate to pay off our home mortgage 10yrs early. We usually drove older cars & didn’t try to keep up with THE JONSES. Even tho we also had many ups & downs over the years we were truly focused on the “BIGGER PICTURE” & feel blessed to have reached our goal. I don’t think u really have to be as extreme as following a “NO BUY YEAR” to save $$. I know that wouldn’t have worked for me personally.

I used to feel embarrassed about weighing my veggies and fruit and spending an extra 20 minutes trying to get the biggest one, but then I realized not being able to retire is more embarrassing

Aldi has the best Raisin Brand cereal in their brand ~ Milliville for $1.99. Aldi brand Shredded Wheat is $1.39. Dollar General brand coffee creamer in the size bottle you showed is only $1. And of course, there is always Dollar Tree ~ pancake mix $1, syrup $1, BBQ sauce $1, pasta, tortillas, etc. Plan your meals and save. Thanks for all the good advice you give us.

I bought your book. It is very inspiring and I've been frugal my whole life so I enjoyed reading it.

So thrilled to find your channel. Thank you. Most excellent

Been struggling with a direction to go in with shopping since the shortages and inflation started up . This definitely helps.

I love this series please keep doing it. My husband passed away last year(of Covid) and now I get $400 A month for me and my two kids. And it breaks down to $33.25 a week per person

Good for you. I've had to cut way down as I lost my job just before Covid. I had a good paying, professional job, but my knees and now my back are so bad with arthritis, that it really cuts my food, clothes and gas budget to a bare minimum. It's hard, but if I don't want to lost my house, I have to scrimp on everything. It sucks. The worse thing is when you need something fixed and no one in will help you. I was raised in a small town and we all helped people who were old of sick on repairs. Here, where I am, nobody cares. Bein poor when you are used to making good money really sucks. So, every month, I'm cutting more and more. Never ends. God bless you girl, I can't even afford a camera.

Living off of 30.00 a week as a vegan is super easy! Lots of lentils and rice!

It's almost impossible to prepare a fresh roasted chicken as inexpensively as you can purchase one. This is my go-to protein. I can make chicken and dumplings, chicken salad and chicken enchiladas from one bird.

I know how to eat cheap. I've been doing it most of my life. What I need to know is how to do it while avoiding carbs and sugar, etc. I'm diabetic and it's a lot harder to live cheaply. I would love to have some very cheap healthier food ideas. Thank you for sharing this video. Great ideas! ✌🏻💙🐾

Wow 1st time watching. So honest and real. I have been trying to get my lovely daughter to think about shopping before she goes to the store. I forwarded this to her hoping she'll get inspired. Thank you.

I love the video! Loved how you talked about snap and disabled people! That is the reason I got on KZfaq. It took me 2 years to save money. Now I have every app on my phone so I can compare price. I can buy in bulk! It's not easy to be a caregiver. May the universe bless all of you!

Thank you so much for this video. I'm 43 years old, a professional with a masters degree and truthful for my jobs. Yet I am not saving like I should have been and I don't live an extravagant lifestyle. Terrified of being way short when I am older and need health care. Thank you for your channel. Hoping to learn and change my ways.

Thanks Prepper Princess so glad I came across your channel. I live in Australia am 53 and am finding your videos fantastic. I have ADHD and can struggle with impulsivity which extends to spending and also organisation including finances. I am finding your videos invaluable. Today I was feeling lazy at lunchtime and I was like ok I can go to the Cafe and spend $25 on lunch or I can open the fridge and eat well for under $3 (avocado’s are expensive here atm). 😊

Oh you rock girl! I think you've inspired me to give this a go to see if its poss. Incl cleaners/soap powders/bathroom stuff I'd spend just for myself anything from $120-150 a fortnight or $60 -75 a week. I guess it comes down to meal planning and knowing how to cook good nutritious food which I do. This is interesting cos I havent had to think about this kind of thing but, its important I do cos you never know whats round the corner anything could happen. Thanks for the inspiration :)

I love the cookie dough containers and salsa containers (or those soup containers from Chinese take-out)...they fit things perfectly! Also, didn't think about using shavings/peels instead of the entire vegetable- brilliant!

Very few people keep things positive on KZfaq. Most of them acts like the world is burning. Thanks for you helpful information. Its great seeing simple ways to cut back and be conservative. I am glad I cut back many years ago and ended the debt cycle. Your information is for all ages to learn from.

I read the title and thought a.) I've got to watch this and b.) there can't be any nutritional value in this. I'm so glad I watched and learned that balance and affordability are possible. I'm also glad to see we have the same priorities...coffee. ☕😋 Looking forward to your other videos.

You are amazing and wonderful! You are teaching the world that frugality can work very well. Spectacular and oh so needed👍

Loved this video. Keeping doing them. Thank you.

You could also keep a sourdough starter and make your own bread with just flour water and salt. It’s such a special treat when it comes out of the oven! Also wIth a sourdough starter you could make pancakes and cinnamon rolls or biscuits and cakes. So many options and the pantry staples are extremely cheap especially if you buy in bulk once a month

Prepper Princess out here saving people's lives and their self esteem. So inspiring! I do the same with "Rotchi" rotisserie chicken. One night it's meat, next it's chicken and rice or pasta. This feeds me and my husband. I boil the carcass for hours and get a lovely bone broth. I pick the rest of the meat off, add peas or carrots, onion or celery, whatever I have and I make a big pot of chicken and dumplings with baking mix and have that for days! Rotchi, can't beat it! Yes, chicken skin is delish!

Very good video, practical advice. Love your presentation style and your humor.

Thank you Princess for what you do 💛

These are some of my favorite videos to watch. I am always looking for more ways to save money on food

Love this so much. I’m vegan and work with the elderly in cardiac care (we promote plant based eating) and do something similar with them. For breakfast oatmeal, fruit, plant milk and a few walnuts. Lunch may be a grain like rice with chickpeas and veggies baked in the oven as a sheet pan meal with broth. Dinner a tortilla baked crisp in the oven with fat free refried beans, all the taco toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, radishes, & salsa. Snack veggies or a piece of fruit and dessert can be smoothie. These meals are generally less than $2 a meal. Love your channel!

You did a really great job!! Everything looks & sounds delicious! Thank you!

This is very encouraging. Thank you.
