We've quit buying tortillas and now make our own. Homemade corn and flour tortillas can not be compared to store bought! The taste of homemade is unparalleled! YUM!

Love this video, as an empty nest senior my favorite way to save is making meatloaf have it for dinner, them cut into portions wrap separately put into freezer bag then use for spaghetti sauce, chili, meatloaf sandwich, tacos all seasoned the way you like.

Yesterday I prepped my breakfasts and lunches for the upcoming week and have three nights of suppers prepared. Meal planning helps our budget tremendously. Having quick and easy stand ins available for those days you have time constraints or "SO tired" helps our budget - like baked potato night, pancake, omelet night etc.

Last week I froze left over meatballs from our Sunday dinner. I also froze 3 slices of pizza that we had left over from dinner during the week.
Yesterday, I defrosted them both for dinner. I made a meatball roll with the meatballs and some pizza dough. As I was taking out my ingredients I noticed a had a second pizza dough, a cup or ricotta and half a bag of mozzarella. So I made a calzone. Instead of ordering from the pizzeria I made dinner on my own with left over and things I had in the house.
I thought of u the whole time. Thanks for all your tips, motivation and encouragement.

Love your suggestions! We have 3 hens, Polly, Tiny Tina, and Lucy, We get 3 eggs a day. 2 brown and 1 green. We have become very creative with our eggs, different recipes. We cannot eat them all so we take some to our University student daughter, and my mother. At least we know they are getting a bit of protein, in these very expensive times. Also we use the bedding and manure for our garden which makes our veggies produce better and then we save again. Plus the chicks eat our scrap veggies that are too far gone for human consumption, and the peelings and ends that we don't eat. Our chicks are saving us $ every plus they are so cute and quite the personalities. PS. We don't eat what we name so our chickens live out their retirement here with us. Our oldest rooster so far was Bud.. 14 years old when he passed, and Hippo was 15 years old. Thank you for all your great tips and tricks!!

Great advice:
1. Stop throwing food away. Take leftovers and make something new. Use your food right away. Don’t shove into the back of the fridge to rot.
2. Stop buying pre made food. Make it yourself.
3. Stop eating out at Resturants all the time. Make good food at home. Learn cooking skills now. Learn to make food nutritious meals at home.

Saving money by not automatically going to the food store once a week. Trying to stretch the time in between. I am also trying to cut the amount of meat in dishes. Thank you Emmy and Paul for another great video.

The core is the sweetest part of cabbage. Good to snack on raw. Don’t waste it, you paid for it!!!

[megablessedgram]

One way to cut back a little on food expense is portion control. I’m always shocked at what a portion for one serving is. Of course if a person is still hungry go ahead and eat a little more if possible. But it’s good to have an idea of the size of a single serving.

We are coming in under budget for February. Whoop whoop. Sherry got 5 butters for 1.69 at Aldi Monday

We prepare ALL meals at home, never eat out. Just simple whole food, nothing from a box or anything prepared. Plus we grow as much as we can in the very short growing season Colorado has.

I live on my own and so 2 things I find useful are 1) Batch cooking - I might make 2 big batches of things like chilli and Bolognese, then I label and freeze so I have meals for at least 10 days. 2) Load the oven with as much as I can so I can get away with having the oven on once instead of 2 or 3 times.

Biscotti. Brilliant. I also used up four apples on Sat. Used my 8” cast iron skillet. Pretty much the same apple crumble recipe but I added oatmeal and chopped walnuts to my topping. We have garbage p/u twice a week here in Vicksburg, MS. Signals us twice a week to use up the leftovers. Very little to no food waste in our house. Thanks for the great tips and reminders. 🥰🥰

I like to keep all my Apple scraps in a freezer bag so that I can come back later when the bag is full and make apple scrap jelly. Peelings and course can be used for this purpose. And because you are keeping them in the freezer, you can collect all your scraps for months at a time.

Loved seeing both of you working together in the kitchen! Everything looked so good - especially the crustless apple pie! My number one way to save is trying to make meals with foods that I already have at home and keeping meals simple. Homemade does not need to be complicated. For lunch today, I cooked a potato in the microwave and topped with butter, broccoli, and cheese. Easy and economical!

Baking our bread from scratch and making crock pot yoghurt have really been helping our food budget.

[estherwillinski]

Hello Emmy, the number one tip that works for me is learning what your loved ones will eat leftovers of, so I plan to make a bigger (but not too big) batch of the foods that my husband likes to eat, and I make just enough for one day if I know he will not eat that the following days. That knowledge comes from menu planning. Great content as always, thank you for encourage us with your great ideas and advice.

Major shopping at Aldi's once a month and then just fill-in with produce as needed. Once a month few items from ShopRite that I cannot get at Aldi's when I pick my rxs for the month. Also been making bread and pizza dough at home.

Hi! First comment from Italy ♥️
I just love you.
I save money every day because i cook always at home for my family.

I Love your saving money tips. I have many but one I do often is broth. Never spend money on vegetable, chicken or beef broth. When you are making stewed, chicken, beef and vegetables add all the seasonings. Salt, onions. Sautee everything on high heat, then add extra water an a little extra oil and herbs. When it starts boiling let it simmer then take out about a cup or 2 of the concentrated broth. Save in a glass jar, let cool and refrigerate. You will always have broth for other dishes during the week.
