Ignore all the naysayers, Jinnie, you are doing an excellent job keeping good useful information out there.

2 boxes of the Jiffy pie crust , 2 cans of chicken, a can of mixed vegetables, and a can of cream of chicken soup make a really delicious Chicken Pot Pie. It cooks super well in a covered dutch oven in the traditional oven or outside on a fire or with bbq coals. :)

Great haul! Who in their right mind thinks that our economy is wonderful? They are totally blind and cray cray. Thanks for all you do, I really appreciate your videos 😊

I had to laugh when you whipped out the matches!! Dang woman!! Will you ever have enough? LOL Don't answer that. Thank you for HOW you do what you do. May Our Father richly bless you and yours. Love from Tennessee.

I buy the large size dish soap and refill the small bottles.

If you can find Badia spices they are terrific and usually much cheaper. A lot of times they are in the Hispanic foods section.

If you load the store ap on your phone, you can search "food under a $1.00" and it will bring it up for you. I do this for my pick up orders. That's the easy way so you don't have to go up and down the isles and look at the price tags. Also, the quart size GV broths, they usually go down to $1.00 around for Thanksgiving and Christmas. That's when to stock up on that as much as you can.

just an FYI, those squeeze bottles also work as a bidet. maybe a bit much info but if you don't have toilet paper the squeeze bottles work well for cleaning your bottom. Just sayin!!!!

Have you noticed that all Boxes Have bioenginered Stuff. IN very little letters.

Use the box of stuffing and make a Southern staple, Chicken and Dressing. Yum.

Ramen noodles with dehydrated veggies and an egg is great!

I received a 25# bag of pepperonis from a pantry last month. I divided it into small bags and use them in everything. Homemade pizzas, throw some in with eggs for a pizza omelet., cut up and throw in pasta dishes. Make sandwiches with them. We get creative.

I've started buying the powdered Gatorade it's cheaper than buying all those bottles and for the price it makes way more and it tastes the same

Thanks for all your tips and suggestions. I just went shopping at Krogers. I set a budget of $200.00 i spent $198.00 and the cart was overflowing. The only spurlge was banana pudding for my hubby at the deli. He has a sweet tooth and loves it. I hadn't been to the store for 2 months, except for milk, bread, and eggs. I thankful that i have a stocked pantry and don't have to shop each week.

That was a surprisingly large amount of things for less than $1.00

I love beets, in my salads, pickled, as a side….yummy.

Jinne,this is a great list for those who say “where do I start “? It’s the building block,the base for so many things.Every time I see matches I think Thanks again.

Great budget haul this economy stinks everything is expensive I'm a senior in NYC the cost of living is so expensive I shop at dollar tree and barely make ends meet. Thanks for your videos😊

I learned a trick many years ago to make the cheap cake mixes taste more like homemade. Just add 1/4 cup of flour to it when you make it and it makes a world of difference. If you can also freeze it prior to icing it, that locks in the moisture and the cake tastes amazing!

Unless you have a medical condition buy the Salt because in SHTF your going to be sweating your bagebbies off and will need the salt

Thank you Jinne for always taking the time to give ideas along with showing us your haul. I hope you know how much your videos are appreciated 🥰 God Bless and keep the videos coming! Much love and appreciation from Michigan 🇺🇲

You purchased a lot for $40.00. A lot of meals can come out of that haul by using your imagination. Thank you for sharing.

I always buy the 4 cheese instant potatoes and make pierogis with them. Super cheap and super yummy!

One of our grocery store here in SanDiego had a buy 5 for .99 so I stocked up on different Campbells soup and also Chef boy ar dee ravioli and other flavors. I’m not crazy about them but it will feed our belly’s in a pinch

When I was a kid and I got sick, my mom would make me hot Jell-O to drink. It's one of my favorite things to sip if I don't feel well. I suppose if we're in an shtf economy, a nice warm sweet drink might be nice and if using the orange flavor, a bit cinnamon and cloves makes it so much more special.

Went to ALDI'S in east NC, canned veggies, fruits, etc were less than 1$ each. No shortages noted.$55 went a long way. Plenty of canned tomatoes in various types, very happy 😊 Tuna casserole is really good (add cream of mushroom soup & noodles) , bake 30 mins @ 350 .

Right before "C" , jiffy corn br ead mix was 33¢! Food prices are crazy!

Nice job, Jinny! We just bought 44 lbs of pinto beans and 40 lbs rice from Walmart. I bag them up in 2 lb pkgs with my vacuum sealer. Walmart is such a great place to stock up. We recently stocked up on some canned goods as well. Topping everything off! I love your suggestions today!! Thank you for your great videos!!

Lol Robert asks me all the time, “what are you planning on burning down “ 😊

I use the potatos rinse good make potato salad

I found that a lot of baking mixes have ALUMINUM PHOSPHATE in them, I don't want ALUMINUM in my food! Read the labels!😲😲

I hit a sale on DelMonte diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano for 37 CENTS at Kroger today. That just in rice would be nice, but in with meat and rice or grains and some vegs would make an immediate meal.

In my community everything you showed is about $.10-$.25 higher than you paid. At Walmart the cheapest place in town, outside the dollar tree. The dollar tree cost beats the rice if you have to buy rice and can’t afford 10 dollars to get the 20 pounds!

What I make macaroni and cheese in a box to give it extra flavor I have a lot of dehydrated veggies I put those in and whatever meat I have left over from the night before makes a nice meal with a little side salad

If you have a Dehydrator I have used Jell-O on sliced apples and dehydrate them for a really good cheap snack

Dollar Tree has 5 packs of Ramen for $1.25 Chicken or shrimp flavors

adding an extra egg to a box cake mix makes the cake richer and not as dry.

Excellent 👍 grocery haul Jinne! You really picked up some awesome items you can mix and match. Right now we have to be creative in so many ways. Thank you for being there and encouraging us. We really appreciate you.😊👍💕

I like to put the flavored tuna pouches in the macaroni and cheese. My Dollar Tree has a flavor of tuna pouch that Wal-Mart doesn't stock.

We have to get low sodium broths, veggies, and no sugar fruit (diabetes and heart problems).

Haha i have also used vienna sausages as treats for traing my dog she used to love them.

Hey neighbor, I live in the Mexico- rumford area.

Thank you so much. I watched this video twice already, and I'll maybe come back again. Morale booster, for sure!

I was at Dollar Tree and FINALLY found biscuit mix and white gravy mix! I stocked up.

Great haul. I use a pkg of onion soup mix and stir it into a pint size of sour cream. You need to leave in frig awhile to hydrate onions but it’s a cheap way to make French onion dip!

I was at Walmart the other day and really started looking at the prices on the shelves. I found those foil packs of salmon and tuna on clearance for 46 cents and 30 cents a package i bought them all!! 30 packages of salmon and 5 packages of tuna. I also got on the border brand jalapeno ranch dip for 87 cents of course there were only 3 but they came home with me 😅 from now on im going to be really looking at tjose shelf prices for bargains 😊

I just love seeing a new Jinne video in my recommended timeline. Always good reminders inside your channel.

Jiffy used to do a lot more flavors of their cake mixes, now it is just the yellow cake mix, but it is still worth the money. They do carry the muffin mixes as well. We use them for pancake mixes as they are easy to carry for camping. We use the pizza crust for the rolls, also for the homemade tacos.

Remember to get the iodized salt over regular plain salt. Your thyroid needs the iodized version.

Tomatoe soup grill cheese yeah 🌼

Dollar General has good deals on food too

Do the two ingredient muffins with cake mix and a can of pumpkin! Its shelf stable and really good. Especially chocolate cake mix.

I just saw a recipe for mini corn dogs. They put Vienna sausages in muffin tins and poured the corn muffin mix on top.

Cream of jalapeno soup is special when you want to be a bit fancy.

Canned potatoes are a new one for hubby to pick up. Canned veggies we always load up (except peas! I hate canned peas!).

When you said Vienna sausages were basically bologna in a can, I thought, "Great googly moogly, she's right!" Nice haul!

You never fail to inspire me and make me laugh! I was wondering if you were unable to find matches - and there they were at the end of your haul! I love your positive attitude, it’s so helpful and more important than ever in these times. Your creative ideas for using pantry staples always spark new ideas for meals. Thank you so much for all your hard work. With creativity and determination we can all get through this together!❤🇺🇸

I do one big Walmart order once a month and pick up things at the store as i need but I will get 80-100 worth of great value pantry. I always get two of each veggies, jar of peanut butter, a few pounds of pasta (I got so much stored right now) get a big bag of rice and I do different dried beans 1 pound bags. You can do alot with even just 50 bucks is what I started doing the beginning of this year for my pantry. Last couple months I've been doing 120 just on pantry stuff to put up. 20 of that is for two 4 packs of canned chicken for 10 bucks. Been stocking up more on canned meat lately. Also I live alone so I don't have to get stuff for a family but walmart great value is a fast cheap way to get a pantry stocked quick.

It's good to get little cans of tomato paste because you can store a lot in a small space. Just add water and herbs to make pasta sauce. Much cheaper than buying jars of pasta sauce. Add it to soup, etc. And the taste is more concentrated.

Thanks Jinnie. I like the canned tomatoes that include peppers, onions and celery because I use that combination if I make crock pot Swiss steak. Some companies overdo adding too much salt so we avoid those brands but a little is ok for most people. If you’re making soup or stew you probably don’t want to discard the liquid from the canned vegetables, they include the juices from the vegetables and can add flavor and nutrients. Canned beans save a lot of time soaking and cooking especially if the power is out or you’re rationing water. Look for the clearance rack or close out aisles for more bargains.

I always look forward to your videos, Jinne! Canned fruit is kind of ridiculous if you can preserve it yourself. I bought a 3# bag of clementines a few weeks ago, and canned them. I got 4 pints out of the bag, which came out to 89c or so for a pint, which is more than you get in a can! I did it again last week, since the price was so good. Now we have yet another fruit to eat that I am not able to grow.

My Dollar Tree just dropped the price of their spices to $1.00! They have a decent variety of the basics. Some canned veggies are $1.00 as well. Hope they lower some other basics!

About jello, I like to mix it (dry) with yogurt and mix in some whipped topping. Then mix in marshmallows and fruit and maybe some coconut. Yummy!

I have amassed a bit of muffin tin liners by getting them after the holidays. At least around here they don't usually sell them all by the time they put items on clearance so they are half price at least/ Don't mind using holiday ones any time of the year.

Thank you for the ideas I am trying to build up from losing almost all of my stock ups after a bad choice I had made letting someone move in with my family when they where have trouble. I came home from work the other day tothey had moved out and took almost all of my pantry with them 😢 now I have to try and build it back up for my kids when money is very tight

I’ve never see😢n the jiffy pie crust box in my local Walmart or the baking mix

was most of the cans pull tabs? The cans are getting cheaply made! Don’t squeeze them too hard to drop them. Lol. The economy is worse than I ever remember! Worse than 2008, by far. I have to shop sales only! 😊 thanks for all your encouragement.

Thanks for ALL you do Jinny ❤❤❤

This was an excellent reminder of what is still affordable. I know that I am feeling the pinch, and I have shifted to more store brands. I have also been adding some meatless meals, and learning how to use less meat in some recipes.

We drink 6 quarts of sweet tea a week (2 adults)- I have enough put up for a 2 year supply right now

I normally do some of my shopping at family dollar and dollar general and whatever I can’t get in town I wait until I have a big list then go a hour away from where I live to see if I can get whatever I can’t find

We are having to live in a tiny apartment for at least another year! I have no storage for good pantry items, but I want to stay up to date!

Mist of great value is bioengineered!! Watch your label's.

I'd like it if you showed us some cooking videos.

For $1.16 you can get Great Value Organics cans of beans and organic canned vegetables for $1.53 each.

Every store I visit has clearance. Thank you for encouraging all of us❤

Jiffy Mix is bioengeneered. I was so disappointed when I read the box. I have given up a lot of the Great Value items because they are bioengineered, too. It is rough trying to make ends meet.

Thanks for showing what can be found for a dollar or less. Great job!

I use the jiffy pie crust mix for quiches and rolled out, you can make tarts, mini pies, and hand pies.

Hello have a great evening.

Great $1 and under video Jinne! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas. A lot of good food and necessities there! Stocking up on these for my family and picking up a few extras to donate to the food pantry while I can. ❤

Thank you for your video. What a variety. I'm doing great pantry wise so I'm focusing on the Grain Elevator and bulk grains. I managed the half ton of Wheat and half ton of Corn so far and I'm going back for Oats (500lb) and enough Wheat (200lb) and Corn (500lb) to top up the bins I have. I have a five gallon bucket of Beets to get canned up and I could get some more garden carrots too. I'm finding great items in the new International Section of a local grocery. I found a two pound Mylar bag of bulk Black Tea, Product of India, and I'm kicking myself for only getting the one. Only $14 for the 2 lb. I'll get more for sure. There's been no bulk Black Tea around here for awhile. And India has been growing great Tea forever. I'm also buying "Savorey Granules", for Meat, Stir Fry and Rice, product of the Philippines and I really like the stuff. A bundle of 12 packs, each one good for four cups of cooked Rice, or one lb of Stir Fry, or one lb of Meat for $2.50 a dozen. I try to get four every trip now. Then there was the coarse grind Black Pepper, a 400 gram (almost a lb) for $12.99. Back when I started buying this pepper it was only $7.99 a bag. My how times change. I bought one and it was wonderfully fresh so I bought another my next visit to the store. That bag will last us 4 to 6 months and that's only used for cooking too. It's too coarse for the finer palettes in this house and I just laugh. I vacuum this Pepper with oxy absorbers for the long term thing. For a long time I was buying little 200 gram bags of whole peppercorn that were wonderful and fresh for $2 and I'd pick up at least five at a time. Man they add up fast. I really don't want to barter, but if I must, I'm betting on those Peppercorns. Keep up the great work and good luck.

Sometimes I will take spegetti noodles and take butter, garlic, green onion and Italian herbs satae it, it's really good

I love to see all the things you find. It helps me. Thank you!

Oh, one major detail I forgot to add is you need to fill the squeeze bottle with water to clean your bottom :)

This is a great haul of staples. Unfortunately groceries are so much more expensive in Canada :(

Thanks for sharing all of the things that are still $1 or less, and thanks for the tips on how to use all of the ingredients. The peppered gravy is really good, I put my home canned sausage in with it and make a pan of biscuits and yum!

You had me at Beets. Love beets. Not the pink pee afterward, but beets make my heart sing. Great haul. Love seeing what you come up with for the store you decided on. I haven't been to Walmart in a few months. I think I am due to see what they have that I may be getting low on, or just want to add to my supplies. I am keen now on getting some Jiffy mixes. I love and prefer plain water. But I do drink lemonade once in awhile. I actually keep a wide assortment as part of my supplies because I figure they make a good masking agent if the water supply takes on a weird taste, even after filtering and such.

Haven't seen Jiffy corn muffin mix for .69 cents for a looooong time! Southeast Massachusetts. Can vegetables are up to 1.29 and that is store brand not Del Monte. Have to wait for the sales when they are .88 cents. Good video. Still hunting for wound care kit at Dollar Tree.

Hi Jinne, thank you for doing this. I agree with you that food is much more expensive than it used to be. I may need some sort of head block for going up and down the aisles so I don't shake my head in disbelief.

Love this haul, Jinne! Maybe one day you could make cinnamon rolls with the pizza crust mix on a video for us. I'm not that good at thinking up different uses for some of the products I buy. Love that there are more options (we are limited only by our imagination). TFS!

That was a great haul. Thanks for sharing.

Great video today! Instant mashed potatoes are so versatile. I’ve used them to make soup, bread, rolls, cake and as a thicker. Thanks for the reminder on the matches!

Throw in that ranch packet with the brown gravy packet, into your crockpot with some pork chops or a roast… Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm😋🤗😋

Thx for including gluten free . Appreciate all u do

Thank you for all these great tips. BTW you are looking awesome. I hope you and your family have a great evening.

a store chain here in Iowahas a few of their own branded canned soups f94 49 cents this week

The cheapest canned fruit I can find is 1.25 at the dollar tree. I love their Libby’s brand mandarins oranges and Dole pineapple. So much cheaper then my local store.

Love the haul. I did a haul myself at Dollar Tree and Walmart and Kroger sales. they had only 2 of the great value 40 oz. cans left I got them both it's just the 2 of us but I even got 25 lbs. of sugar and campbells soups the strip beef stew with veggies for $1.00. God is mazing he afforded me to buy double what I usually do

Another great prepping video
