I've been doing those things for YEARS.

After about a year, all of them were MUCH more self sufficient and were "on their own". Now, a few still call me or text me about specific items, but most are doing great.

Way to go, Sydney! Being on camera and opening your life up for criticism takes courage!! Two suggestions: check the freezer section for frozen asparagus when it's off season, and don't throw away the bones/skin from the chicken thighs!! Even if you cook them with bones in, cook the bones and skin in a crockpot filled with water overnight. Strain out the yuck. Voila! "Free" broth. Let it cool and pour into quart sized ziplocs, freeze flat. Now you have super cheap broth to add to soups, casseroles, etc.

When I was raising my kids all I knew was to buy things on sale plus normal staples to make meals. There wasn’t social media or meal planning. That’s also how we learned to be more creative when coming up with meal ideas. My mom was the queen of casseroles!! Unfortunately we didn’t always know what were in them!! Once I became a mom, I swore off several things from my home, casseroles being one!!

Christine, thinking of a video idea for you… Do one on your tried and true recipe book that you keep and how having a list of favorites can save you money because you always have those ingredients. Show how to keep a recipe book. In this digital age it’s often forgotten the quick visual of paper. Your suggestion in 2020 helped me with with what to buy and menu planning:)

@karencrookedfingerscraft3408 8 ай бұрын

As a former Army Brat. The Commissary is at cost and no taxes. Then fresh produce has always been bad at the Commissary. You can use coupons. I think you can still use expired coupons too. My mom would double check prices on personal care items between the PX (Post Exchange) and the Commissary. Love these styles of video.👍

@dianaq710 8 ай бұрын

As a current commissary shopper, things are not always at cost, but we do get some really great deals. No problem with produce at any of the bases we lived at in the last 20 years. And while technically no tax, all commissaries charge a 5% surcharge that they put back into the stores. So for the customer, it is kind of like a 5% tax. Our state doesn’t tax food, so Walmart can sometimes be better price wise, but for those that do tax food, it may be better at the commissary.

It probably varies per commisary but I like to shop the sales! I find it cheaper to shop at Aldi but commisary can be cheaper on certain items than Walmart for any name brand stuff I need. But the sales can be super good, like today I bought 2 boxes of cereal 1.65 each and there was a digital coupon for 1 off 2.

You can chop the peppers and freeze them for later. Then you don't have to use them right away. Peppers do not require any fancy prep-work before freezing, so no blanching or anything like that.

I just love these grocery audit videos, keep them coming! Something I struggle with in saving on my grocery budget is dealing with small storage space, particularly freezer space. I live in an apartment with a smallish fridge, so as much as I'd love to stock up and freeze things, it just isn't possible. I'd love to see a video focused on how to stock up with small storage space, focusing more on dried and canned goods storage and making the most of limited freezer space.

@michellekasunic6419 8 ай бұрын

Yesterday, I found clearance 1/2 gallon milk in glass containers for $2. Our store gives you $2.50 if you return the container (no deposit was required, so I actually make 50 cents each). The milk is dairy milk and lasts a good 2 weeks after the expiration because the glass keeps it so cold. Seriously , they paid me to "buy" gourmet milk. So fun
