I only spend $300 a Month on Organic Groceries | Grocery List on a Budget | BUDGET AND SAVING MONEY

Note: I am talking about a household with 2 people in it! Happy to talk about how to do this for more or less people.

1. Keep a well stocked pantry:
-Always have essentials; flour, butter, sugar, grains (preferably ancient grains), meat, vegetables.

2. Stop going to the grocery store every single week! Look at your grocery needs on a monthly basis, rather than a week to week basis.
-Go once or twice a month.
-Buy two versions of items: perishable and not-as-perishable. Example: lettuce and cucumbers for the beginning of the month, beets and carrots for the end of the month.

3. Bulk buy your groceries! Here are my favorite places to buy in bulk:
-Azure Standard
-Sams Club
-BJ’s
-Amazon

4. Preserve your food!
-Freezer is my #1 :) .. I got two large extra freezers for $300 total.
-Store in bulk-bins (large plastic food grade tubs, plastic bags, etc.) I got the under the bed idea from Shaye Elliot of the Elliot Homestead! :)
-Fermenting
-Canning
-Dehydrating

5. Cooking simply!
-Delicious home made bread, glazed carrots, roasted squash and roasts with lots of onions and garlic.

I really loved this video, please keep making more of this type of video! Saving, Whole Foods etc. I’ve eaten Whole Foods for years but have been more intentional on sourcing, and raw milk, and from scratch cooking and I feel so much better too!

Love Azure!!! Dry milk powder, buttermilk, beans and grains, spices...all cost less than grocery store prices and often get organic for less than non store organic. Example...25 pounds organic black beans is $1.19 lb at Azure. Walmart 1 pound non organic$1.49 lb.

I have so much to learn in this area! I need to save on groceries. Thank you!

Azure is great. I purchase about 80% of my household needs from Azure then the other 20% I have delivered from Walmart.

I must say, I hear a lot of tips these days that our parents and grandparents did out of necessity, (deep freezer, shop 1/month, bulk, etc.) right down to shopping at Aldi. With all these tips and "hacks" I wonder if ppl have just been carelessly wasteful the last few years. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I'm sure there's so much more to your channel. With your likeable down-to-earth personality, you have yourself a new subscriber, maam!
Btw: when I was Paleoish, I learmed to make comdiments. Great tip!

Just found your wonderfully inspiring channel. I have subscribed will be binge watching your over the next few days. I will also be emailing you for more advise.

I hear so many people say going to the store once a month is what they do. How do you go without fresh veggies and fruit. I could never. Organic produce doesn’t last but five or so days

[bmarieluvstheearth]

We go several times a week but we only buy what we need. We are retired so time at the grocery store isn't stressful. Also bulk buying isn't good for us. We don't have freezers, multiple, and aren't interested in more freezers.

Wonderful tips! I’m curious are you able to maintain the $300 today with inflation?

[patmartin]

I too live alone and would love to cut the cost of my groceries. The prices in the uk have rocketed over the last year. I try not to waste food and shop with a list but my bill has still doubled in this time.

[EstherDesorcy-zikz]

Loved this. But what about fresh fruits and veggies? My lettuce never lasts longer than a week and my kids love fresh fruit. Any tips? I always find i have to run back to store cuz I run out of all my fresh food.

I spend up to $400 a week on organic food

Did not enjoy this video. Sounds like she wants to work every hour. She has awake. Not interested in doing so much busy work without buying food
