It's just my husband and I and we can't believe how expensive groceries are. Im impressed by how much you actually get for your money. I wish we could buy in bulk but its just not feasible.
I'm a single-person household and buy in bulk where I can. I stock up on paper towels, trash bags and t.p. along with frozen fruit and vegetables and meat when it is on sale and I break them down into smaller packages using my Food Saver. I have a small upright freezer to store my extra purchases. I primarily shop at Walmart and get loss leaders and good sales from my local Kroger affiliate, Bakers. I also belong to Sam's Club and my next next-door neighbor belongs to Costco. She shops at both club stores for each of us to get the best sale prices.
Good day 👋🏾. Y’all should create a family cookbook. I’m sure that it would be a hit. I’d love to see a section on Solo’s Kenyan Cooking, a section on large family favorites, a section on what each kid would recommend and tips and tricks to getting a daily or near daily homemade meal on the table. You could even include a section on housing cleaning and home organization. I hope that you all consider the idea. Have a great day.
I live in Florida a military child here. I was born at an AFB in Rantoul Illinois near Champagne. I’m 66. The base is no longer up and running. Love your channel Sarah. We have 2 Sarah’s in my family. Love watching your family. Just lost my mom so I’m the only one left so wish I had a big family. I am blessed to have 5 grandchildren and one great grandson. Best Wishes. Love your personality.
Good Morning Sarah!! Thank you so much for collaborating with me!! I need to add nacho night to my dinner rotation…. And the cheese - I’m grabbing some today to try. I see it all the time. Time to take the plunge! 😂 Happy December friend!
2 seniors here. I/we shop a couple times a week, lol. I buy my trash bags, laundry detergent, bleach, body wash, conditioner for an entire year. I use the laundry detergent that comes in a sheet, the bleach comes in a tablet form. Keep lots of canned goods just in case we become incapacitated and the freezer is full.
Hey Tribe I’m coming from the grocery lady. ❤ I love Meghan’s videos they’re all very good and it makes you want to keep coming back for more. They make your eyes stay glued to the screen and I love that about her channel. She has mentioned you many times in her videos throughout the years that I have been watching her. ❤ So I finally decided to come over to your channel and check it out and I’m glad I did. ❤🥰
@@Borderlinegoldenretriever I find her a bit stuck up . I always makes me wonder how as a minister that you can make this kind of money to shop like her and have a beautiful house . Does minister make that kind of money?
I used to work on a pomegranate (and other produce) farm and I love them!! A tip for checking if fruit is ripe is to hold it in your palm and gentle wrap your whole hand around, rather than pinching with your fingers. This helps or not to bruise :)
Hey! I was looking for the talk with Melissa Murphy and couldn't find it. Only got to see half of it, and would like to watch the rest. Love that you share about mental health!
No hate for needed convenience. I usually cook from scratch, but every once in a while when I am feeling burned out, I take a week "off",,,I go to Sams and get super easy things for dinners. Helps a lot!
Hi, Sarah we keep hamburger patties already barbecued in the freezer and par baked potato wedges in the freezer for quick dinners. Just put them in the oven. Already made burritos are also a go to for us.
I buy large amounts of hamburger and brown it all. Divide it into one and two pound bags and put in freezer and also buy some rotisserie chickens from sams and debone them and put in bags to freeze. It makes cooking a meal SO easy and fast.
I wanted to comment on your video from this morning. I can't find it now. Anyway, your friend was on and talking about a tragedy that happened to her family. I sat there for 2 hrs stunned or something . I prayed about it. It is almost midnight and I am still in shocked by it.! Oh my, , she is doing the right thing by praying to Jesus in the morning and whenever she needs it.I am shooting up prayers for her and the family! Thank you for sharing that. I am still in disbelief over it. I will continue to pray for them over and over and over for them, and I will pray for her son the same. I cannot say I understand, because I don't. I am mortified by it all. I don't even know if that is the right word to use. I just know I am doing alot of praying for her. God be with you all!!Oh my sakes.😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
Hi, Sarah, I can easily see your older kids inviting some of their friends over for a post-Christmas gathering....and enjoying either the lasagna or the "emergency" pizza! ~ On another note, there is no shame in occasionally feeding your littles sandwiches and soup or salad for a quick, easy dinner. Much cheaper than a drive-through, and not too lengthy a clean-up.
Plant an orchard on your land. You could get farm hands rent free in your old house in exchange for a weeks work. You could then increase your farming and raise pigs, and when you produce more cows they could also do the milking for you.
Shopping once a month saves on the missed items you need as well...Now that my husband is retired, empty nesters :) yea...we cook extra portions of some stuff like meat balls for sub sandwiches, soups , stews and we freeze or can the extra portions for no cooking Fridays, it keeps us from eating fast food Fridays like we did in the past. My husband is canning navy bean soup this weekend. I'm making loaves of banana bread and pumpkin bread for the freezer.
I love Meghan! I've been watching her a long time. And like you, she has an awesome dad who I look forward to seeing whenever he's on. Meghan has a sarcastic sense of humor, and I love it! And I really love your channel!
A personality goes a long way 😘😘 you have one of the best personalities. Love all your videos, I am amazed because I am a mother of one adult child. Nothing but love from Pittsburgh PA❤
Haha in same boat! Laying in bed watching this my kids are self sufficient enough so I get to lay here and watch lol! My favorite time of month is this video
Hi Sarah! I saw that you made the video of you interviewing Melissa about her story private and I was hoping to watch the rest of it! I’m sure you have a good reason for doing so… will it come back in some form ever? I admire all that you do and Melissa is one strong woman. ❤❤❤ praying for her and thank you for what I did get to watch because it does help bring awareness to otherwise not so talked about subjects and situations in families! ❤
I can't wait to see what you can for your convenience meals -- things I have done that work well: canned soup, chili, beef stew. The Ball canning recipe for pork cubes is so delicious -- we use it for quick tacos, or add BBQ sauce and make sandwiches. Ball also has a good recipe for beef stroganoff. Any of the meal recipes in the Ball Blue Book are good.
hello dear lady I saw that the other lady came to your Q&A I follow her too she makes healthy food like you my apologies I use the translator I understand and speak English but have problems writing I wish you and your wonderful family lots of love and good health Anne from Belgium 👍🏻🙏🏻
I enjoy watching you and your whole family and I'm born ,raised and still living in Danville illinois I was so shocked when you said you were born here.keep your videos coming and you all stay blessed❤
Hi Sarah! One convenience meal I like to make is to make a big pot of beans for tacos, freeze in portions and also a big quantity of Guac to freeze (especially now when avocados are on sale). It makes for easy meals :) Also a big amount of spaghetti sauce that I freeze. I also like to make a huge pot of lentil soup and freeze in jars as I find making the broth and everything is a lot of work for one meal only. Also at the grocery store I noticed they sell indian paneer and bean curry in bag, and you could probably use 2-3 as it as a base and add some canned tomatoes and beans and serve with rice or quinoa. Hope this can help :)
My Husband complains that I buy too much food and that the freezers are full, but I had a very poor childhood and I feel safe if I have full freezers, pantry etc , is that sad ?
I love how you show your grocery hauls & talk about budgeting. We have always made a point of living “below our means”. That way you are better prepared for “what can happen”. Thanks for sharing your life with us. God Bless!
We just started canning convenience meals too. We’ve done chicken soup, chili, beef stew, and zuppa toscana. If you find you had too many red potatoes, you can can those too! We have a bunch on our shelves because our garden produces more than we could eat through.
A great quick dinner idea is to prep ground beef with tomato sauce can it or put in the freezer. On a night you need a quick dinner you just need to boil some pasta and heat up the meat sauce
I feel every trip is a budget buster 😜 I write down my prices next to my list so that helps me. We recently got our garage better organized so I can stock up more purposefully.
Sarah with your blessed large family consider canning in half gallon to gallon sizes. Just get a 23qt stove top canner and yes, nothing different just get to it and over it. Can't remember if you have one or even if you have a glass top stove. If you do, on the glass top buy a turkey fryer and use the element just like a gas stove. Ever think about a outside kitchen for canning, they are awesome!! God Bless y'all!
For convenience meals we use dump bags. So literally dump the meal in a freezer bag and then when we want it pop it in slow cooker on medium for 8 hours, or high for 6. For eg - honey chicken, beef stew, etc can serve with bread, rice, frozen veggies
Our local Walmart had their cranberries on clearance for 25 cents a package! I got eight and made cranberry juice. My daughter and daughter-in-law both got LOTS and canned and froze them.
When you start Canning Meats you will save a lot because it is super easy to pull jars off the shelf to make a meal so much you can do with Chicken. I've canned ground beef a lot easier than I thought it would be ( cook it first, drain off fat then can it with a little bit of water in it). Canning Vegetable soups with cooked burger or beef tips if you want to. Next spring plan out how to grow green beans and Can them.. I grow Kentucky Wonder pole beans, use cattle panels for them to climb up they are very easy to grow versus buying them and if you don't spray them with chemicals they are Organic and let some of the beans dry out in the fall and you have seeds to regrow the next year. Anna In Ohio
Pressure canned beef stew is so simple since you can add all of the ingredients raw :). I think you've made that before though and already know that 😜. I've also done chicken soup and a beef veggie soup where the only things you need to cook ahead is the meat. I'm also looking to refill some jars with ready made meals as I empty them from our water bath canned stuff from this past growing season
We like making speghatti (can cook ground beef from frozen. Or something with sausage (sausage and gravy or jambalaya) because we just defrost it for 30 seconds until it's just thawed to cut up.
What about starting up a few freezer meals? Can be stored away in the freezer until u need them, perfect examples are lasagna, ziti or pizza crust....; there are so many types u can just whip up and store until ur ready to use them
My favorite home canned easy meals... Canned meats-chicken, pork, stew beef. Precooked and doesn't need to be thawed can be opened and added to anything or sauced and put on a bun Bone broths-never underestimate a quick soup in the winter (wr also always have freezer packs of onions, carrots and celery mixed so we can dump a bag and use it as a base) Soups- since you have access to a pressure canner you can double most soup recipes and as long as you don't add dairy or noodles you can can most brothy soups. I do this with chicken soup and chili regularly Beans- dry beans aren't hard but we always have quarts of home canned beans for the times I don't have time to soak and cook them. Canning dry beans is the easiest process. This was a game changer for my family! Lastly for home canned grab and go we have a ton of jam but we add this to oatmeal for a quick baked oatmeal dessert (especially if we have extra eggs)
One of my easy dinners is I set aside a few hours and make 1-2 dozen of chicken pot pies. It’s a family favorite and when they are already in the freezer made it makes life easier
I love grocery hauls too! I get so many ideas. Meghan's channel is my new favorite! MEAL IDEA for you! Pressure can sloppy Joe's and pulled pork are our favorites! Make rolls and dinner is done. So easy to can! Thanks for the videos!
What a great Collaboration! Food and basic necessities are so expensive now! As a family of 13, I know what you're feeling at the register. Can I say how much I love your channel! Sending you and your beautiful family love from Wisconsin!
Hi from England Sarah, it’s dark here at 16:00 and very cold with more snow predicted. Regarding the wash, I used to use the same products as you in the machine and it totally wrecked my washer after a few years so I stopped using it, however I use a range of products that are environmentally friendly and not expensive from SMOL. It’s a small UK company, which I like and their products are better than my homemade ones. I found that my homemade laundry products made the wash start to take on a dullness with no bright colour or whites anymore as it doesn’t rinse as well. I’m thinking of your lovely new bedding which should last many years. You may want to use a good detergent for that. Love seeing you all at your homestead.
Becky from acre homestead makes freezer meals for convenience- if you make one make 3. Pre make pastry for easy make desserts. Also Jamerril Stewart does mega mama freezer meals and both do canning.
Yesterday I did a pint of ground beef that is about a pound and a quart of tomato and a pint of beans some onions and green peppers and some elbow noodles and some chili seasoning. This was a very easy meal
I really enjoy watching your videos! We live in Northern Minnesota and we don’t even have any snow yet - which is shocking. But I love it. I know the snow is coming but it’s December and we don’t have any snow. Wow! ❄️❄️❄️ But I know it’s coming. I really enjoy your kids! Such a beautiful family! ❤️😘🫶🏻
I think you do an amazing job with your budget. We are a very small family of 3. With my grown son not always home. We try to buy the best quality of food. We eat out only 1-2 times per month. Our budget is usually around $600.
Easy fast, cheap and nutritious meal : cook any pasta you have according to directions, drain then add butter, and about an egg per person, mix until eggs are done , top with parmesan cheese, serve with a veggie side your kids like . Carbohydrate + protein + vegetable = yummy, specially when you don't have a lot of money, not to eat everyday but I always went to bed with a happy tummy after eating this when I was a child.
Split pea dahl in pressure cooker is so fast and you can hack it to make it even easier using curry powder and stock and whatever veg you have it the fridge.
I read somewhere the other day that you shouldn't use powdered detergent with leach field/septic tanks. I don't know if there's anything to it because I use liquid, so I didn't go any further with it. However, you might want to research it.
You should look at some of the emergency food storage full meals that Mindy does! I know she does hers so you can make if you lose power/gas, but she gives lots of ideas on how you can dress them up as well!
You tube recipes I made black bean patties they were so moist so bake them about 10 minutes Then fry less oil freeze and use for wraps Same with chic peas I never bake yesterday and they were fried and used so much oil They had cook potatoe so it was properly to moist
Easy meal idea 💡 layer cooked ground sausage, cream cheese, broccoli, 🥦 grated cheddar cheese on top. Bake until heated through. I think your sour dough bread would go well with it.
Thanks for watching! For more grocery fun, check out Meghan’s video today, too! th-cam.com/video/5u8CfFXnYeU/w-d-xo.html😊
My plan was to watch you than Megan, before I knew about the collaboration . 😊 have a fantastic day
What! I love watching both of you. It’s always fun when two people I watch do a collab!! 😊
Can you show us the recipes of all your seasoning mixes you mentioned!?
I just watched The grocery ladies video now here to see yours! I love watching others that do grocery hauls as well as I do. So much fun!! ❤❤❤❤
I’ve never heard of the other channel. I will check it out.
It's just my husband and I and we can't believe how expensive groceries are. Im impressed by how much you actually get for your money. I wish we could buy in bulk but its just not feasible.

Hi told Sarah you sent me here thanks Megan

Hi this is one of your subscribers named adi owen
Love both of you and so excited to see the collab!
2 seniors here. I/we shop a couple times a week, lol. I buy my trash bags, laundry detergent, bleach, body wash, conditioner for an entire year. I use the laundry detergent that comes in a sheet, the bleach comes in a tablet form. Keep lots of canned goods just in case we become incapacitated and the freezer is full.
Ask Jamerille Stewart. She does freezer meals and has lots of cooking guides.
Hands down you have the best grocery hauls on TH-cam……❤❤❤

It all about going more views. More views and clicks more money.
Last year her channel still had another name, planting birches and she had more than just grocery hauls

I am a single person. I have no idea why I love watching these food hauls.
Only 3 of us but love watching them
#itsnotjustyou!!! Lol
I'm a single person too and love her channel! I enjoy the animals and of course her children.
There's only three of us but I enjoy watching the grocery hauls, also.
Only two of us and love watching also🤣🤣
Acre homestead does a lot of freezer meals. On days she know she is busy she takes it out of the freezer and cooks it.
Plant an orchard on your land. You could get farm hands rent free in your old house in exchange for a weeks work. You could then increase your farming and raise pigs, and when you produce more cows they could also do the milking for you.
Shopping once a month saves on the missed items you need as well...Now that my husband is retired, empty nesters :) yea...we cook extra portions of some stuff like meat balls for sub sandwiches, soups , stews and we freeze or can the extra portions for no cooking Fridays, it keeps us from eating fast food Fridays like we did in the past. My husband is canning navy bean soup this weekend. I'm making loaves of banana bread and pumpkin bread for the freezer.

Convenience meal I grew up with: Kraft Mac n Cheese with canned tuna mixed in! We did one can per box. A side of corn and it's delicious! Kids love!
We did that also, and sometimes added some diced or stewed tomatoes minus the liquid, kids always ate it.

I started watching the deals guy and the grocery lady channel popped up, so I started watching her too. I'm watching from the Caribbean btw
An idea for the taquitos that can change it up. Pour enchiladas sauce over them, cover them with cheese and bake. Easy enchiladas.
I think it's so great that the older kids do their own laundry. Do they do their own bedding, too?
You can layer the taquitos, enchilada sauce and cheese. Instant enchilada casserole. Put it in the oven until heated through
There’s that reference to Danville IL again! Born, raised, and continue to live there!
Seeing that fudge drizzle popcorn just reminded me that I really need some chocolate right now.
Make a pear cobbler with some of that fruit. My grandmother used to do that.

Egg roll bowls in the instapot i think would can up nicely. Its quick from fresh but it would be a great convenience meal.

Beans- dry beans aren't hard but we always have quarts of home canned beans for the times I don't have time to soak and cook them. Canning dry beans is the easiest process. This was a game changer for my family!
Lastly for home canned grab and go we have a ton of jam but we add this to oatmeal for a quick baked oatmeal dessert (especially if we have extra eggs)
One of my easy dinners is I set aside a few hours and make 1-2 dozen of chicken pot pies. It’s a family favorite and when they are already in the freezer made it makes life easier
I love grocery hauls too! I get so many ideas. Meghan's channel is my new favorite! MEAL IDEA for you! Pressure can sloppy Joe's and pulled pork are our favorites! Make rolls and dinner is done. So easy to can! Thanks for the videos!
The cows are so pretty!

What a great Collaboration! Food and basic necessities are so expensive now! As a family of 13, I know what you're feeling at the register. Can I say how much I love your channel! Sending you and your beautiful family love from Wisconsin!
Hi from England Sarah, it’s dark here at 16:00 and very cold with more snow predicted. Regarding the wash, I used to use the same products as you in the machine and it totally wrecked my washer after a few years so I stopped using it, however I use a range of products that are environmentally friendly and not expensive from SMOL. It’s a small UK company, which I like and their products are better than my homemade ones. I found that my homemade laundry products made the wash start to take on a dullness with no bright colour or whites anymore as it doesn’t rinse as well. I’m thinking of your lovely new bedding which should last many years. You may want to use a good detergent for that. Love seeing you all at your homestead.
I think there is a bank of America
Once you get more chickens, and get a plentiful of eggs- try waterglassing them. Makes them shelf stable, and keeps you having eggs for winter!
We make mini meatloafs in muffin tins, cook and freeze themselves. They thaw quickly when they’re small.
Becky from acre homestead makes freezer meals for convenience- if you make one make 3. Pre make pastry for easy make desserts. Also Jamerril Stewart does mega mama freezer meals and both do canning.
Yesterday I did a pint of ground beef that is about a pound and a quart of tomato and a pint of beans some onions and green peppers and some elbow noodles and some chili seasoning. This was a very easy meal
I love Meghan!! I live in central Illinois and would definitely fan girl if I ever saw her lol
Love your hauls 🌈🌈 You and the family have a great weekend 🍁🍁🍂🍂
Yes, Meghan is really cool
I really enjoy watching your videos! We live in Northern Minnesota and we don’t even have any snow yet - which is shocking. But I love it. I know the snow is coming but it’s December and we don’t have any snow. Wow! ❄️❄️❄️ But I know it’s coming. I really enjoy your kids! Such a beautiful family! ❤️😘🫶🏻
Thank you for sharing. Could you show us how you store all that? Happy Holidays. 🎄😘
Sams club in Minnesota has some nice sleds in the outdoor section 🤷♀️
You can make a lot of instant pot freezer meals
I think you do an amazing job with your budget. We are a very small family of 3. With my grown son not always home. We try to buy the best quality of food. We eat out only 1-2 times per month. Our budget is usually around $600.
Easy fast, cheap and nutritious meal : cook any pasta you have according to directions, drain then add butter, and about an egg per person, mix until eggs are done , top with parmesan cheese, serve with a veggie side your kids like .
Carbohydrate + protein + vegetable = yummy, specially when you don't have a lot of money, not to eat everyday but I always went to bed with a happy tummy after eating this when I was a child.
Those pistachios are grown in the valley where we live!
Kerry gold butter is great so I'm not surprise by the cheese.😋
I learned about your channel from Sarah "The Tribe of Many". I look forward to watching your videos. ❤
Split pea dahl in pressure cooker is so fast and you can hack it to make it even easier using curry powder and stock and whatever veg you have it the fridge.
I read somewhere the other day that you shouldn't use powdered detergent with leach field/septic tanks. I don't know if there's anything to it because I use liquid, so I didn't go any further with it. However, you might want to research it.
The new ball book has some great meal in a jar for the pressure canner!
I went and watched the grocery lady! Kool
Hi...Meghan sent me. You have a beautiful family. Will finish watching your video after I cook breakfast. Just didn't want to forget 👍😊
Sloppy Joe sauce is a must for canning, then for a quick meal you just need to brown the beef.
You should look at some of the emergency food storage full meals that Mindy does! I know she does hers so you can make if you lose power/gas, but she gives lots of ideas on how you can dress them up as well!
Love watching Megan as well as your channel. Can’t wait to see what the new year brings
Thank you for your shopping spree love tou Sarah ❤❤🎉
Sarah, thanks for sharing! We are a homeschool family of 12. I have been watching your family for years.
Love your channel!
You tube recipes
I made black bean patties they were so moist so bake them about 10 minutes
Then fry less oil freeze and use for wraps
Same with chic peas
I never bake yesterday and they were fried and used so much oil
They had cook potatoe so it was properly to moist
I love watching Megan all the time. I love her.
Easy meal idea 💡 layer cooked ground sausage, cream cheese, broccoli, 🥦 grated cheddar cheese on top. Bake until heated through. I think your sour dough bread would go well with it.
