I buy a lot of markdown meat and other markdown food and non-food items throughout the grocery store or any other places I shop. Kroger is my favorite place to find markdowns but I also check Schnucks occasionally today I got a box of Friskies canned cat food originally 32-count but four were missing so 28 cans for $12.20 good till April of 2026. I had a $5 off when I spent $20 digital coupon so I bought a few other things I needed. I'm 70 years old I don't have any chicken nuggets in my freezer.
I love this idea of buying marked down meat as you find it. I try to do that as well but I know I could do better about it. I have never heard of Schnucks before but what a great deal!
@@norahalmquist1345 Lol!! That’s fair. I actually always forget about corn dogs. I should try and see if my kids will eat them. Mix things up a little. 😂
Feed a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) for $2.50-$4 per dinner. He is how. MEAT $1 per lb or less. Chicken quarters $0.59lb, Ham shank/butt $0.59 - $0.99lb, Turkey, whole $0.39lb. Buy store deep frozen ham/turkey they will last a year in a chest/stand up home freezer Carbs - pasta $0.75-$0.80lb, white rice $0.55lb, brown rice $0.82lb, potatoes $0.30-$0.40lb, sweet potatoes $0.39-$0.69lb Veggies - carrots fresh $0.75-$0.99lb, Broccoli frozen $1.33lb, can green beans or corn $0.62, cucumbers $0.50 each, cabbage $0.49lb Dinner - $2.37. (Add salt/pepper, season all and some cooking oil=$2.50) chicken 1/4lb serving each is $0.59 Carb - potatoes slices 2lbs $0.80 Cabbage slices 2lbs ($0.49lb) $0.98 Basically mix and match to keep below $4. With enough $2.50 meals, you can have hamburger $2.99lb or even shrimp $5.99lb, one time each a month ($1.50 savings X 30 days=$45)
I am so glad I found your channel! Mostly because you are such a breath of fresh air and you seem so sweet and kind! I am also moving into my first house soon so I’m trying to tighten down on my budget a bit and I could definitely cut back in the food and grocery department a bit! Great ideas! Thank you for the video!

Great advice!
I’ve been doing this for July. Been though my cupboards and now for the freezers. I always put off doing my freezers. But got to get it done.👍
We definitely have that in common. I put off the freezers as well but we will get it done! ❤

You are so welcome! 🩷
Our budget is 300.00 a month, we are under budget for 2.5 of us and I carry a months worth of food rotating, We live in a high COL state,
That’s amazing that you are able to keep it to $300/month. You are definitely on top of things for sure.
