Online grocery shopping has helped us tremendously too! I love how if I go over budget I can scroll back through to remove what I might not really "need" in order to stick to budget. So easy!

Just love how streamlined your videos are. Great tips!

I've been saving with the two pronged approach of using Fresh 20 plan (my groceries for three adults is between $50 and $75 now) and ordering online at Walmart. This prevents going into the store and impulse shopping. Plus there's no fee for pick up, and saves time. This 5 meal plan means using mostly whole foods, using it all up, AND having plenty of leftovers for our lunches. Thanks so much for sharing.

Finally... Today, I made figuring out Food Inventory my mission. I was missing this step. Reality hit me. I was spending too much on groceries. Thanks for creating this video.

My tip is to pick two to three stores that are close to each other and stick with them. You start to learn their store layouts (makes for quicker shopping) and what items to get where (best price, highest quality, etc.) For example, I have 3 stores I regular shop in and I never get milk or yogurt in store A as the brand they sell doesn't taste as good as in store B. However, store A has the best deals on water which we consume a lot.
It usually takes me about 1.5 hrs to go food shopping every week. In that time I go to 3 stores and it also includes the drive there and home again. I know these three stores almost inside-out by now, so I get in and out super quickly.

Thank you Kallie! I take my kitchen inventory and do meal planning too, and it is a huge money saver! Thank you for the tip about online shopping for the groceries, that is a great idea! I am usually on a very tight, firm budget for groceries so I like that I won't be tempted and I can see what I'm spending as I go. Plus I won't have to drag my kids to the store on nights when my husband works late. :-)

Hi. These are good tips. I like the emphasis that you start by looking at what you already have in your fridge.

My meal plan is weekly. Two of the days out of the week are always the same...crockpot Monday ( most tired day) and leftover Friday. Always make a bigger meal to eat again in the next few days or freeze. Save time and money. Put your meals on a calendar and save the calendars to refer back to.

I shop once a month, with one mid-month trip for milk, fruits, and veggies. My meal planning is for one month at a time. I have 4 boys ranging from 6 months to 5 years. With diapers, soaps, and toiletries, our monthly budget is $500 for all. We also do grocery pick up, which is awesome. I liked to see Miles in your video! He's so cute!

I've been using the flip app for a year now and I love it. I can see both grocery stores in my town and plan what to get where.

[janethebbel]

I use a shopper which, of course increases the cost of the food. My approach is to use the computer to list what items I already have in home/fridge/freezer, then search for recipes on-line that use these items. Discovered Cowboy Caviar, summer minestrone soup, really good salmon crepes, etc. thereby narrowing down the grocery list. Thanks for your inspiration😎

You are so cute and I love those ideas! What a blessing to find this! I pray we have the success that you and your husband have had!

I've cut out morning coffee shop coffee. we brew kuerig coffee at home and just add flavorings or creamer and ice sometimes. $5/day on workdays...this saves $100 a month!

[rachelkivarkis]

The most adorable baby, u have.
God bless u and ur family.
Thank u for all the tips.

I think online ordering is saving me a ton of money too!! I’ve probably saved $100 over the past few weeks by doing Walmart grocery pickup! Great video

[tarakatxo]

A tip video that isn’t filled with fluff and is actually helpful! THANK YOU! 🙏

[springbooth]

Beautiful baby boy, beautiful young mother ! God bless !

[luckydogsmom]

I lost what you were saying after seeing your cute little sweetie. Omg! He's perfect! And he knows it that's why he can't stop looking at the camera. Now I have to watch again to listen to your words lol

[Sarah_Kinz]

A helpful tip is if you have a discount grocery store around! You can get multiple meals for only $20 (like grill food) just pay attention to the expiration date and you’ll be good.

More tips, at Walmart they will discount older bread and older sandwiches (subs) score!
