My husband started his new job today after being off work for a little over a month. Without these videos I wouldn't have known that a $30 week budget for a family of five was possible...I was used to spending at least five times that, often more, and still eating out too much. This week, we are eating good, and I only budgeted $10. I'm making bread like a pro, shopping clearance, using cash back apps...Life changing!! Thanks Christine for helping me feed my family without panicking!

I’m 25, and have learned so much being in my own first apartment! I use all tips! I don’t have parents, so you are my “YouTube mom” LOL thank you so much!

My late friend, a widow, living on her own would get up early every morning and drive to the local small supermarket . She would buy the morning paper and just enough food for her daily meals. She never had food rottinging in the back of the fridge or forgotten in some corner. My husband wanted a biohazard decal to stick on my fridge. Her shopping trips got her out of the house, talk to strangers, kept her car battery from going flat and she never bought more than she needed.

I love how you can get info across without acting like you know it all or talk down to us. You have a gift and I’m so glad you are on YouTube. I use all of these tips! Great video!

Taking 4 kids to the store is like being pecked to death by chickens...I was letting the dogs outside when I heard that and I laughed so loud...my neighbor thought I was crazy im pretty sure 😆

When I started watching your channel, I wasn’t dealing with food insecurity, but now I am and your channel gives me a lot of hope that I can get through it. I’m thinking of going to a food bank soon, which is something that never would have occurred to me if you didn’t always say it’s okay to use those resources if you need them.

I've started doing a once a month $20.00 grocery week. Saves me tons of money and forces me to use what I have so less waste.

[suesimpson]

After watching your video where you said about the food that I could get for free for Thanksgiving at WalMart with the Ibotta app I downloaded the app and went to WalMart. It was quick download and easy to use. i liked your idea of picking up all the items even if I wouldn't use them myself and to donate what I don't use. I picked it all up and decided to give it all away to someone I know that is struggling. Saving money and being able to help someone out at the same time was a wonderful thing.

I personally don’t like ordering my groceries and picking them up. I genuinely like to grocery shop and don’t like other people picking out my produce. It’s relaxing for me. I am a stay at home mom of 2 small kids but I don’t take them. One evening a week I go grocery shopping right after supper and my husband puts the kids to bed. It’s my me time. My husband is great. I know not all moms can do this but if you can, I highly recommend it. No screaming kids to stress you out or drive up the grocery bill.

[lisadawnjennings]

One of my favorite tips is don’t be beholden to one brand! My kids eat whatever yogurt, whatever fruit snacks, whatever breakfast bars. So I go to my Grocery Outlet and pick whatever is cheap there! I save a ton of money (especially on snackier foods) that way! Works for Ibotta deals too.

I fondly remember going grocery shopping with my Dad as a child. He taught us how to shop and would take a selection of us every Saturday morning. With 7 kids he usually had at least 2 or 3 and often 5! He did a Tom Sawyer, if you didn't behave when you were out with him, you didn't get to go again for awhile.

Gave my Mom a break and he actually enjoyed it! He taught us the trick of getting the heaviest bag of apples or potatoes. We could only weigh 2 bags, so he taught us how to feel the weight by comparing two and then after checking several bags deciding which was the better deal.

Shop your pantry, freezer and fridge is the best tip.
Thank you ❤🇨🇦🇮🇪

I live in France but this has to be available in other countries too: some of the supermarkets have hand-held scanners where you scan every item as you place it in the shopping cart. You always know how much you are spending as you keep a running total, plus you have the advantage of being able to verify that the correct price appears on you scanner.
Easier to stay on budget.

Here in Ontario Canada, almost every store has a little known thing. At the checkout you'll see a thing in small writing. That states if the price down not ring up the right price. The item is free up to $10. I just did this at Walmart the other day. Saved a total of$25 on a vacuum. Ended up paying half price ☺️

[chrisd]

I recently saw a cut up cabbage for over $6!!!! The whole cabbage was $.59 a pound. Avoid the cut up food it’s usually the good part of the produce turning bad.
Also a great tip is to carry those flyers with you when shopping. Helps to know what is on sale and also some stores Walmart is one) will price match the competitors price if you have the flyer. Stay frugal, y’all!

[glendacorr]

I have another way to pinch some pennies with meat, sometimes for example they have chicken legs on sale, $5.00 a package across the board, check each package and make sure you pick the one that is heaviest.

[sylviametos]

The number one tip to saving on groceries to have a list!

[ashtonreagan]

I can't believe I never consider the possibility that the "5 pound, 3 pound bags" are not all exactly the same weight. Seems so obvious now! Thanks for the tip!!!

[treeshell]

The stop shopping rule I used when my now adult kids were small. If I was out of something I when without and cooked dinner calling it "invene-a-meal" With doing that our menu always changed and we never got bored.

[mhsinalabama]

I love the Walmart pickup, Contactless though? Come on, I live in rural Alabama - we just have to roll down the window and talk to the folks putting our groceries in the car.
