I was getting ready to buy a baby/toddler swing to put on our set for our 10 month old grand baby. I was looking on Amazon and they were running $40-$60. I go to thrift stores on a regular basis and just a few days after I was looking on Amazon I found a brand new Little Tykes swing for $10!! This happens all the time!
Yes! I use these little bags all the time. There’s just two of us, so when I but fresh meat I use those to make small portions then put them in a large freezer bag.
We drive from Michigan to Texas quite frequently, moving back to Texas by summers end. I pack sandwiches, snacks and water. I’m not stopping at Buccees or those types of places and pay a fortune for food. That goes for fast food as well. Hubby isn’t always happy about it until I tell him how much $$ I saved him🤣. My mom used to fry a chicken the night before a trip. We had cold chicken and ice cold water. There wasn’t places to stop between Houston and Jackson, MS in the ‘60’s.
I use those sandwich bags for storing diced green peppers in the freezer 1/2 cup in each bag. I twirl the end closed to make a ball and it goes in a gallon ziplock bag tightly packed. Then the peppers are used in cooking and by making them into a ball they have no/less freezer burn. I keep a ziplock bag in the fridge freezer to gather the empties to reuse because I'm always forgetting to buy more.
😂Tawra, you and Mike are such a great couple. I love watching your videos and how loving you guys are. Hope everything is going better for you all. You’re in my thoughts. ❤
Yes! Learned this from Tawra years ago - precook hamburger, put 1/2 lb in each fold top bag, then all those bags into gallon ziploc bag into freezer. This really is a game changer!
In addition to the hamburger hack if I'm chopping onions for a meal I chop up the rest of the onion, bag it in 1/2 cup increments and freeze them. I'm with you on the boiled peanuts. The ones you get at "fresh" as in not canned are a bit better.
You have good deals at your thrifty. I live in a pricey area so the thrifty stores are pricey . Some things are a reasonable price and it’s high end stuff. It all depends on the person who prices them. But it’s a very clean and well organized so I cannot complain. Still cheaper than buying brand new at mall or Amazon.
Love it, I just finished making my own brown sugar with molasses instead of paying for the store bought, made a pot of chili for dinner tonight, made date puff pastry squares and we are set. People ask me what do we do with all the money we save...paid cash for the bathroom renovation, new deck, new pool liner, new awnings, it all goes to increasing the value of our property and not to take out restaurants....factories that shred cheese haha
Even when that bit of beef or chicken fat doesn't seem like much, i save it. I freeze it and use it for roasting veggies, etc. The broth that comes off of a tray of chicken or the excess broth from a roast, I make sure to save. 1 cup broth doesn't seem like much, but that's a cup of soup. It all adds up. I love the non zipping baggies for the price! I definitely use them to save the odds and ends from dinner
We use the Aussie version of those baggies too! Lots of great thrift store finds! Wowza.... that pizza price was high!! Loved your reaction! Glad you didn't faint! I hope they enjoyed it!! 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
You were brave to try those boiled peanuts. They're vile, and I say that as a Southerner. You need to try Virginia peanuts, from southside Virginia, specifically the Smithfield/Isle of Wight area. Big, fat, out of the shell, crunchy roasted peanuts, lightly salted...they're amazing!
$29 is fantastic for a pizza with a lot of toppings! My family (all boys) gets two medium pizzas with only two toppings (I won’t allow more because it costs more), and an order of 6 garlic knots for $50. That’s a pick up order so I won’t have to pay a delivery fee. It’s the most affordable NY style pizza in our are, and personally our favorite. How any times do I order pizza in a year? Three, maybe four times.
I have three Goodwills and two antique stores near me. They do not have these prices. The only way I could get these prices is by going to garage sales only. Too cold here in the PNW for garage sales right now. We only have them during the summer months. Your very lucky.
I start my plants under a low-power lighting fixture on a vintage workbench in our basement. It’s worth cost of a small amount of electricity. As a result, along with $3 (each) Walls O’ Water)? The first time that I did this? Fresh tomatoes on June 4th. In? Nebraska! ❤🤍😋
When I used non freezer bags in the freezer all my food in them had a chemical smell to it. That's never happened when I used freezer bags. I wish they would make that size in freezer bags.
PLEASE SEND MY APPRECIATION & THANKS TO YOUR MOM…several Drs have told me that I have what they call a toxic sensitivity - that explains why sometimes it can be hard to breathe and my skin burns & gets itchy depending on what I’m around. That means no soap, air fresheners, cleaning products, double rinse my laundry & gloves when I do dishes etc etc…..I have actually sent my son back home shower and change when he showed up wearing cologne. I started using the baking soda to clean my hair. IT WORKS, clean - soft - no more itching and best of all my hair stopped falling out. Works better than anything the Drs prescribed THANK YOU. I hope she will know how much I appreciate her, to me she is a star.🌟🌟🌟🌟
if you go to thrift stores without needing something you end up with junk you don't need and no room to store it unless you're specific. Choose wisely people 😁
@@LivingOnADime there's definitely a fine line and that was all I was saying. Kinda like things are to be used and people are to be loved. Too often people buy stuff they never needed and it ends up being a hurdle to a clean house because there's this pile they can't bear to let go of. My mother for instance used to have so much clutter that you couldn't see the treasure. There's a fine line lol
Plus you save money on your electric/gas by making the most of the heat when cooking and not heating up the kitchen twice. So important as we head into the hotter months! Also, canned boiled peanuts are an abomination. 😂
I'm jelly of your thrift store's prices. Here there is a good will and an independent one that is priced the same. Why do they think people who need to shop 2nd hand can afford those prices? I have had to quit going because of inflation.
We throw very little food away. Several years ago, we tossed abiut a half a jar of waxy, store brand mayo. In 2020, it was most of a 29oz can of boiled peanuts with red pepper flakes. Than goodness we decided to taste test before buying a quantity for the pantry!
Pizza here in the PNW is more then that. Red Baron is about the least expensive I could get in the stores where I live. Sometimes it’s on sale for 4.00.
Those boiled peanuts don’t hold a candle to the ones my Granny made and froze. She’d give us a bag for our 9 hour drive and we ate them before we got home.
Right now Domino's has 1/2 off any of their menu pizzas. We got a large really loaded pizza for $10. I would faint or say forget it at $29. That is astronomical.

Thats what i do also.😊
You can chop up onion and do the same thing.
Yep. Love the baggy hack. I picked it up the hack from you several years ago, and the precooked hamburger too!
I put my grapes in fold over bags and then put them in a big freezer bag. I learned that trick on using fold over baggies from one of your videos.
I like
your thrifting, cooking and testing products
Interesting math 🙂
Already batch cook at home; use reusable bowls to partition & store; will skip the baggies & save the $1.88.
Yes, I do the baggies all the time. Rarely get take out.
Love videos like this! Thanks especially for including the thrift store finds. I haven't been able to thrift for quite a while and needed a fix.
😂Tawra, you and Mike are such a great couple. I love watching your videos and how loving you guys are. Hope everything is going better for you all. You’re in my thoughts. ❤
I absolutely love your tips❤
The view from out your kitchen window is so beautiful ❤️
It makes my heart happy when i find something that saves me money.

I love the idea of a colander in the garden! A few months ago I found a pie plate like your cake pans and was super excited!
Aww what a wonderful hubby.. Mine probably would have fainted 😂😂

Little metal containers used for plant starter pots.

Tn here, she has fogreat prices, not here! Goodwill is $$$😢
Goodwill has gotten ridiculous with their pricing. I won’t go there any more. Greedy!
Your saved butter wrapper trick for greases pie pans and bread pans has gone viral for someone else. Should put that tip in there somewhere.😊
You could decoupage on those cute little metal containers.
I think geraniums are about the easiest flowers to start from cuttings.
My late-mother and I did the very same! ❤

Great 👍 video. I’m going to save that $8000 tip for my emergency fund. Yea. Thanks for sharing.
Love 💕 and Hugs. 💙💙💙
You go Mike, clean them dishes then come over my house and clean mine. lol.
My hubby does the same thing.
Start your plants in clear tubs with clear lids, or gallon plastic milk jugs cut on a angle (but not cut off)
I love your thrift store hauls!
Thank you for the great advice.
Hello from Deadwood! ❤ I love your window! Perfect for plants!

I just bought a Ninja Optima, brand new, for $40. Online the cheapest I could find it for online was $159.00.
Great Ideas, Thank You. Love Your Plants!

Choose wisely people 😁
It really is ok to buy something you don't "need" to just enjoy it.

There's a fine line lol
Going to try the bran muffin recipe.
I'm going to put your sloppy Joe's recipe in these. Best recipe ever!!❤
Discontinued GV baggies (even Ziploc) b/c food went stale too quickly (overnight), especially bread.

I just use Tupperware or silicone for storage. I only use plastic bags for raw meat & reuse one for dry pantry items.
Pizza here in the PNW is more then that. Red Baron is about the least expensive I could get in the stores where I live. Sometimes it’s on sale for 4.00.
💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Love your show!
You can't keep the baggies in the freezer too long because of freezer burn
Love the geraniums in that window.
Those boiled peanuts don’t hold a candle to the ones my Granny made and froze. She’d give us a bag for our 9 hour drive and we ate them before we got home.
We live in IL and I saw boiled peanuts in the Walmart near us for the first time the other day. Didn't buy them.
What is fry sauce?
Ketchup + Mayo
Thanks
I beleave that boiled peanuts are AKA GOOBER PEAS. There is a song with this title
I am from the south and I can’t stand boiled peanuts.😂😂
Little Caesars throws out pizzas at the end of the day that does not sell. Free pizza!
People need to get Bar Keepers Friend. That with some elbow grease. PERIOD 😉
I wish I had a small/church thrift store in my area. You ate can peanuts-those are nasty
Price when you order pizza, not worth it!!!!
Right now Domino's has 1/2 off any of their menu pizzas. We got a large really loaded pizza for $10. I would faint or say forget it at $29. That is astronomical.
ziplock (or the like) are much better.
Boiled peanuts are gross. Tried them once.
I believe the blue watering can is at dollar tree for $1 .25
Two words, micro plastics. Do research.
If you are still thinking about painting the outside wall black it's not good idea you will get bees really bad.
these are not baggies they are plastic bags. that word sounds very childish
Oh good grief!
Thanks Karen
I called them baggies to
😂 I don’t know where you live, but in the south they are definitely baggies LOL
Really? Might I suggest you find more to do in your life.
