I do a savory oatmeal. I prefer the steel cut oats, but I will eat whatever. I use Mrs Dash instead of sugar, diced onion, diced tomatoes, diced bell pepper... I have a Cajun Trinity season blend (powdered onion, celery, bell pepper) that I sometimes use.

I found that the Velveeta dupe at Walmart is not only cheaper but is made from actual dairy while Velveeta now has canola oils and a bunch of junk unpronounceable ingredients! I also am a huge Snickers bar fan and found the ones at Walmart (yes, they have a Great Value brand of snickers called Caramel, Peanuts and Nougat Bar) and if you buy them in a six pack they’re $0.50 per bar and taste the same to me. They’re 1.76 ounces vs the Snickers 1.86 oz but I can’t tell the difference especially since I’ve paid $1.50+ per bar for these at times! 😮 So a savings of $1/ bar is huge to me and work well for a quick packable pick-me-up snack for my work day. I also enjoy the Great Value Bagels at 6 for $1.98. I can’t even make them for that price (have you seen the cost of bread flour lately?) I also make my own sandwich bread these days as we don’t eat a lot of breads but when we want some I either make mine in the stand mixer or make the no knead kind. I’m considering making up several loaves worth now and freezing the dough. 🤔

Mindy- I’m interested to see how your budget morphs when your son hits that 13YO/14YO growth spurt. My 14YO grew 8 inches in 2 years and is now inhaling protein. I’d love more ideas for feeding kids with bottomless pits for stomachs! He’ll eat a bowl of cereal or two while I serve up dinner, eat dinner, then snack on leftovers and ask for more. It’s like feeding hobbits. Once at 11 pm I put my foot down at being asked to make more food after I was in my PJs in bed. 🤣 I bought an air fryer so my hungry teen athletes could make their own food safely and with a minimum of cleanup. Anyway- it’s a shock to the budget.

@brendahowell5946 Ай бұрын

Yes teenagers eat like crazy! Are they hungry or board. I keep mine on sort of a schedule. Also Lots vegetables, fruit, yogurt loaded with fruit , peanut butter etc also flaxseed an protein powder, Trail mix. Also if they eat up their snacks before the end of week they choose eggs, oatmeal, peanut butter on saltines, or plain saltines, Ramon noodles , I buy jars of applesauce, homemade pudding or jello. They are about to become adults an this is important for them to learn how expensive is. Healthy meals an snacks less hungry. Hope this helps

I have wondered the same thing. He’s only 10 now, but in the 97th percentile for height and weight and he already eats more than his sisters. 😂 I’m working on a video concept for June with cheap snack ideas, I’ll try to add some protein rich ones. Brick got a little nutribullet blender for Christmas so smoothies have been a big thing for him lately, and he can make them very easily with that little machine.

The more bargains we look for the more competitive supermarkets will start to be. We eat dried past once a week, some canned tomatoes in a pan while the pasta is boiling, pinch of salt black pepper, oregano & basil.. If you like garlic they do frozen cubes that are economical because they last, and if you want to, a pinch of dried chilli flakes.. Add some drained canned tuna (in oil is nicest but watch the prices, it doesn't matter really) Ordinary grated at home cheese is nice on the top.. Sometimes go mad and scatter a few washed off jar olives on top.. Make your own garlic bread!

You can also take the frozen okra and cook it in masala sauce and wind up with bhindi masala, an Indian dish that I like almost as much as I like fried okra, and eat it over rice or by itself with some na’an bread. Walmart does already have frozen okra coated for frying, that I also cook in the air fryer, so I usually have both in my freezer. Not as good as homegrown but I can’t buy fresh okra here in the Pacific Northwest so it’s better than nothing. 😀

My local food pantry offers bread to anyone at the end of Tuesdays( after all in need have been served), They always have too much and they throw it away if no one wants it. I live alone now so I get 2 or 3 loaves every other week and pick up for my elderly neighbors. It's very good kroger artisan bread too! This is stewardship as well. I cant imagine them throwing it away. I also volunteer there a couple of times a month. Call and ask if they throw things out.

I use an Aeropress for single serve filtered coffee. There's a learning curve to it if I want to do multiple servings in one go, but the good thing is that all I need for my coffee is a tea kettle to boil water with and a paper filter made specifically for the Aeropress. Due to its very small size (paper filter), it can be easily rinsed out to be reused a couple of times, saving us a lot of waste from our traditional coffee filter.

I frequently empty 2 packets of grits into a microwaveable bowl (with vented lid), add 1 cup water (1/2 c per packet), salt and pepper, and stir, then crack 2 eggs into it and microwave. I do it for 4- 5 minutes, less if I stir in the middle, because I don’t like runny eggs, but, depending on how you like your eggs, you could do anywhere probably between 3 and 5 minutes, and breakfast is not only done, but I carry it to my desk and eat while working. Of course you can add a sprinkle of shredded cheese before microwaving it and sometimes I do that too.

One of my favorite breakfasts using grits is to add a scrambled egg and a little grated cheddar to a bowl of grits. If I have some leftover sausage (like from making red beans/sausage) I'll add that as well but it is just a good without. As a single person sometimes I pay a little bit extra for smaller sizes, like getting 1/2 doz eggs but it keeps me from wasting food and costs me less in the long run. I have not seen the Blue Bunny soft serve b/c I usually only get Blue Bell but I love Blizzards so I am going to look for it my next Walmart trip and give it a try.

One of my favorites that I keep a stock of in my pantry is Botticelli Fire Roasted Sweet Red Peppers, 12 oz, 8 Servings. the cost per jar is $1.78 (14.8 ¢/oz). These are versatile in every cuisine... from a replacement for pimentos (they are the same thing - red bell pepper)... but the roasted red peppers are fire roasted and BURSTING with flavor. Currently a small jar of Great Value Sliced Pimientos, 4 Ounce Jar costs $1.78 (44.5 ¢/oz). Same exact cost as the roasted red peppers... BUT... look at the cost per ounce. You get THREE times the amount in the Roasted Red Peppers. Add them (diced) to salads or sandwich spreads... Latin foods, Asian foods, plain Ramen or Udon noodles, OR... one of my favs is to cut one (they come whole in the jar) into thin strips and lay a few thin strips onto a boneless/skinless chicken breast... in a foil envelope... add onion or any of your fav veggies and fold the foil into an envelope. Easy to freeze prep and supper delish. This is a super easy - super yummy - freezer to oven - meal prep idea that I do a lot. --- Try these once and you'll always stock them to. HUGS

I love grits !! I recently found rice grits. I have yet to try them. Something new. I prefer savory breakfast instead of sweet breakfast. Great video, Mindy.

Going to have to look for that ice cream, I love a blizzard but the closest Dairy Queen is in the next town over and it’s too expensive anyways.

We have used the frozen rolls as pizza dough and made little individual pizzas with them. They turned out great!

Mindy do ever use an electric skillet in making meals. I'm considering buying one.

@SeeMindyMom Ай бұрын

I don't, but my mom did all the time when I was growing up. One of my slow cookers has a saute function, so it would operate kind of in the same way.

I have a 4-cup mr. Coffee maker that is going on 30 years old. Use it at least once a day and it's going strong. I only use my big coffee maker at holidays when there is a crowd in the house. I originally bought it because I was going through a whole 10 cup pot a day and had to cut back.
