Your videos give me so much joy. For the record, I'm a 35 year old former extravagant spender from NYC. But now adays, videos like this one make me so happy and inspire me to live a more simple, frugal lifestyle. I love it. Thanks so much Emmy.
YAY!! I love to hear that! Thanks so much for being a part of our channel!
I shopped my house before I went to the grocery store ,had alot of things I didnt realized i had,so I didnt have to buy twice,or make and unnecessary purchase & i cleaned out myrefrigerator freezer ,its been3weeks since I went shopping, with good sales,this weekend,and my discount card,the bill was $86,but my final total I paid only $68.00,and I bought alot of holiday things I needed. Iam thankful for good frugal living. and taking some of your many tips.
Great job Veronica! Good for you! That's a great saving too!
thank you guys ,i just love you guys &your advice.may God continue to bless you&your dear husband.
You are the sweetest...thank you Veronica!
I made this twice. The first time the bread was just too dry and really just tasted like .... bread. I added 2 additional eggs the second time to make the bread more "custardy."
That's great Susan so glad your modifications worked for you! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness, your French toast recipe is made exactly like the Carmel Apple French Toast I make for my family every Christmas morning! Two layers of French bread with a layer of apples in between, butter and brown sugar on the bottom and milk and egg mixture with cinnamon on the top. So good! I’ll have to try this recipe too, looks fabulous!Thanks for sharing😊
Laurie that apple French toast sounds great! Thanks for watching!
You two are the kind of folks that I'd love to have as neighbors! I listened to your ideas & inventoried my freezer before I went shopping yesterday ... amazing what I had at home!❤🙏☕
That is awesome Malinda! What a nice compliment! Thank you!
I just love spending time with you and Paul. You are such warm people. Thank you.
Oh thank you so much Holly! So happy to have you here!
I love my jars, they keep shelf stable foods so fresh for a very long time. I order my jars from Walmart. I use jars for my sugar, salt, flour, nuts, virtually everything.We switched to avocado oil, and only use that and extra virgin olive oil. Two very healthy oils. tfs 🍃🍂🍁🌵💗🦃🍃🍁🍂💗
Yes aren't they the best! So many uses for them!
I can just imagine you were as giddy as a schoolgirl leaving the store with those “steals” - WOW! Nicely done. 👍🏻😎
I was lol! You all know me too well!!
Great prices on your haul. They sound like Aldi prices here. Aldi's saltines are always 79 cents a box. I skip the saltines in Dollar Tree to get them for less at Aldi's.
Jonna that was such a great find for us! Saltines this week at Shoprite are $1.69. Prices fluctuate so much that's why we grab the deals when we see them!
That was a compliment about my grandmother! You remind me of my sister Anna Maria too!
LOL! Thank you Barbara!
You are really good at grocery shopping and getting real good prices. You always beat me at this art. This recipe is great. I can't wait to try it !!!
Thank you so much 😊 Bessie!
I absolutely love your enthusiasm. What a blessing you are to a lot of people. Thank you 💗
Rhonda that is so kind of you to say! Thank you!
I see the date stamp is from a month ago, and it is 11:30 pm and I am here in bed cheering you on like you just rode to victory in the Kentucky Derby. I even think I may have heard the theme song of “Rocky.” playing in the background and Paul wiping the sweat from your brow as you toss ham steaks into the cart! Way to go, you will reap the benefits of those bargains for months to come!!!
THANK YOU!! What a lovely comment to wake up to! Have a blessed day!
I'm in England and we have a similar recipe but using ordinary white bread and dotting the tops with butter and no bananas. It is called 'bread and butter pudding'.
Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Emmy I shop like you do, stacking coupons on top of sale prices and planning meals accordingly. Oh and blue is a great color on you!
Thanks so much Sheila! Yes, that's the best way to shop I think lol!
Oh your French toast breakfast looks so good, be nice on Christmas morning or anytime really!!!! Definitely going to try this one. Janex
Oh definitely Jane! Thank you so much!
That ham would also be delicious in a scalloped potato and ham casserole. My mom used to make that, and it was always one of my favorite dishes. DELICIOUS!!
That is so good!
Love the outfit! Beautiful colors! You look great
Oh thank you so much! That is so kind of you to say😊!
I must say bananas and raisins are my least favorite however, this bake looks delicious!!!! I am thinking of other flavors. Berries, apricots etc. ❤❤
Oh I bet berries would be delicious! Great idea! Thanks for watching Gregory!
Apples would be great too! ❤️ so love your channel so homey❤️
Yes definitely! Thank you so much for the kind words!
Here in the U.K. we call this Bread and butter pudding. I use old croissants and less eggs to milk ratio.... a fantastic winter pudding👍 Using bananas is not something I considered in the past.... but I will certainly give it a go 👍😀
Sounds great! I bet croissants would be amazing Rebecca!
Love hearing you say ricotta and mozzarella the Italian way ! And, Ronzoni... sono buoni.. Can't find this brand in Ohio..... Great memories.
LOL Linda! So glad you enjoyed my accent and the video!!
My precious husband's name was Paul we were married 43 yrs.
It is a wonderful name for sure! 43 years how precious Patricia!
Just found your channel love it!
Welcome! So great to have you here! Thank you!
Great haul! I love seeing you when you come back from getting such great deals! French toast looked amazing.
Thanks so much Julie! 😊
I've used day old donuts with your French toast bake recipe. It also turns out delicious
That's a great idea, Robin!
My goodness, that looked delicious! You frugally used up a past prime banana and dried out bread. Great grocery haul! You did very well on baking goods that have nice long Best By dates.
Yes! Thank you Jeanne! It was a good shopping week for sure!
You got a lot of great deals. All your recipes look delicious!
Thanks so much Lorrena!
Another yummy looking recipe thank you. Love how your shop features so many staples which are so important in keeping cost down. So jealous for how much your tea costs.
Thanks so much! 😊 It was great sale week for sure!!
Great idea for preserving sugar! I use very little so mine always seems to get hard.
Was so happy to get the broccoli rabe at my local ShopRite earlier in the week. I picked up a lot of similar items too. Picked up the honey crisp apples, grapes and peaches for .99 cents/ pound with the price plus card.
YAY! So happy you were able to get these great deals too!
Casserole looks fantastic! I am going to try this soon!
Hope you enjoy it Robin! Thanks for watching!
Your $.99 flour is great. I thought I was doing well by getting it for $1.15 regular price at Lidl
$1.15 is a great price! That .99 is a super special deal. Doesn't happen very often!
Another great video Emmy! Thanks for the recipe, I’m trying it for the holidays!😋🙏💕

Exactly Christie!! Thanks so much for being here!
@@FrugalMoneySaver your welcome love your channel
I went shopping today and compared the Maxwell House coffee with Folger's. The Maxwell House was almost $2.00 cheaper than Folger's, so I got it.
So smart!
Guess what I just made??? Your pumpkin raisin bread! Oh my! My son and husband love it! Keep those yummy recipes coming!🍁
YAY!!!!! So happy you liked it!! Thanks for letting me know!
Would love to know if you made this French toast bake again! I can’t wait to try it. :)
We have that on special holidays!
You are always an inspiration! Getting good deals for holiday baking is now on my radar. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome! Thanks Mary for being a part of our channel!

Thanks so much for subscribing Foxy! So happy you are here! Yes, we have 1 son who is 32! God bless you as well!
What great prices! The next time I do my "big" shopping, I am finally going to Shoprite. My air fryer came today! And I have been reading the instructions and it even came with a cookbook. I have to say, though, I'm feeling a little intimidated by the air fryer. The first time I use it I'm going to make what you made in yours a video or two ago. I think it was chicken. The French Toast Bake looks yummy. Would that freeze well? Your recipes ARE amazing!
I'm not sure if you can freeze the bake honestly Sis...I've never done it. The recipe book that came with the fryer is really nice. Pick a simple recipe out of it and try it. Go with something easy for the first time! Thanks for being here as always!
I love your video hauls. I have Shop-Rite near me also and I thought in their advertising for their Bowl and Basket line it was supposed to be organic. I did notice on the bag of sugar that you held up it just said granulated sugar and not pure cane sugar. I believe that unless it states pure cane sugar that it’s always GMO beet sugar. The one thing I try to buy even if it cost slightly more is organic and non-GMO foods even if it means adjusting what I buy to make it fit into my budget. Thank you for all of your helpful hints and recipes. I’m glad I found your channel.
Thanks for the info Martha and thanks for watching!
Wow! Great prices.
Thanks Angela! It was a great haul!
2 Onions! That cracks me up! We get 10# or 20# ! Lol
LOL! Yeah we’re not big onion fans Annie! I cook with them sparingly😊
Great deals! I've been stocking up for the holidays too! The way you do things reminds me of my grandmother. I thank you and Paul for being so down to earth❤ Do you bake the basket bread at Easter, with the raw egg?
I do the Easter braid without the eggs but my sister in law always adds the eggs! Thanks for watching!
Omg I need that!❤️
LOL Linda! I know right! Thanks for watching!
What an amazing haul for what you spent! That french toast bake looks delish.....
It was so good! Thanks for being here Carolyn!
I’d love to see haw you make your lasagna . Oh and your broccoli rabe , because I’ve seen it but never knew how to make it !
Deedee here is a link to my lasagne recipe th-cam.com/video/V5SMlIeLh6A/w-d-xo.html

@@FrugalMoneySaver also,you can use sour cream,yogurt,mayo,applesauce instead of oil when baking.not all at once,mind. Also,want to boost chocolate ?use coffee
I do the same with my baking items!!!
Best way to do it Robin! Thanks for watching!
I am definitely making that for Christmas morning! I love that baking dish too! Is it thrifted or did you get it somewhere in particular? Also, prices in Pittsburgh don’t seem nearly as low as yours! Great video but I enjoy them all. Hi Paul!
The pan is thrifted for sure! It's got snowflakes on the side lol! Thanks so much for the kind words Michele!
Great prices! where do you shop?
What is your lasagne recipe please? I’m very frugal! Love to watch Your channel!
Thank You!!
I shop at ShopRite here in NY! Here is a link to my lasagne recipe video! th-cam.com/video/V5SMlIeLh6A/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching Irene!
For the pumpkin spice folks....add half cup pumpkin to the sugar and banana layer. And add pumpkin spice for the cinnamon. 😁
Sounds great Sarah!
Today’s the day I’m starting my new financial overhaul!!! It’s going to be baby steps so my first step is going to be food! Going to inventory my freezer and pantry! Throw out what’s old & start from scratch!!! Going to go through my spice cub board and consolidate! I already spoke to my hubby about investing in a food saver and he said 👍 down the road! (Probably will be my Christmas present🎅🏻) after my inventory I will meal plan for next week! I went to the dollar tree & purchased a black binder and printed some free expense trackers and meal planning templates! 👍 hoping by the first of the year to have EVERYTHING all figured out and In operation for 2021!!! I’ve got this!!!! Thank you for all your help & inspiration!!!!👍💕🤗
P.s.. your like my angel sent from heaven! I’ve been praying to god for help & trying to get everything figured out and boom there you are! 👼🏻
Cindy I am so proud of you!! Good for you! Tonight's video is a meal planning one! Hope it's encouraging to you! Thanks for being here!
Yummy!😍❤️👍
Thank you 😋 Debbie!
Good gosh!👍
LOL! Thanks!
Great haul!! Can I ask what nailpolish you’re wearing? Beautiful color
Oh gosh I have no idea! I had some gift certificates people bought me and I am trying to use them up before the end of the year lol! I just picked what I thought looked like an autumnal color Liz!
Frugal Money Saver I just subscribe to your channel! Trying to learn how to be more frugal 😊 please, keep making videos really loving your content! God bless you 🙏
I have a 2 pound block of mozerella (gifted for free)...besides the usual pasta dishes, any ideas on what to use it for?
What a great freebie! You can slice it on sandwiches, as a topping for pizza, in quiches, topping for casseroles, topping for garlic bread... It's so versatile!
Yeeeuuuuummmmmm
It was good lol!
You have good prices there
I’d like to see that candy recipe sometime for the candy that uses the crackers. Ty
Here is the recipe video from last year. I am sure I will show it again this year as I have many new subscribers and it's a super easy recipe! Thanks Joyce! th-cam.com/video/CgFAOZ3YJ1k/w-d-xo.html
