My tip is to wash the ends of your bananas, scraping the black ends a bit. This is where fruit flies lay their eggs. Our grocer told my mama and I've done it and never have fruit flies. (Wow Luke has gotten tall, eh? Handsome young man.). Came back to say I don't know how to do emojiis either.
So like mentioned…buy in bulk when certain veggie or fruit is at its peak (usually cheapest in stores), prep all (example a 10 lbs bag of onions) as you prefer (I dice 3/4 and slice 1/4 of what I bought), freeze layed out on cookie sheet then store in sealed freezer bags removing as much air as possible. For onions, 1 cup = 1 onion. Do peppers, onions, green onions, green and yellow beans, corn (cob or grains), beets. Some have to be blanched, some don’t - ypu save money and time in the log run and you always have some on hand!
Hi, if you have a PC, just press and hold the windows key and the full stop key and the emojis should come up, or just right mouse click and they should come up as a selection.
Me and my partner usually shop at aldi and asda (we live in the uk). a few years ago, we used to get a weeks worth of food for just over £50 but now we spend anything between £65 -£70 a week. I am vegetarian so that does make things a little more expensive. Thank you for your kind words on my last comment about the loss of my family member, it means a lot ❤ I would love to see a fridge organization, we've not long brought a new fridge and it desperately needs help.
Yeah! I love the two a week videos!! Thank you, for keeping me motivated on so many things; cleaning, organizing and just keeping me going on all my projects!!
Hi Amanda! Great grocery haul & budgeting. I scour the weekly ads & shop multiple stores also. It definitely helps to have a meal plan & prep beforehand because who can afford to waste food with the crazy, ridiculous prices nowadays. The healthiest foods (i.e fruits & veggies)are always the most expensive unless you can hit great sales, which you definitely did! Great job. 🧁🧁🧁 Hope you & your family have a great weekend! 😊😊
😂😂😂!!! I keep all of my condiments in the door of my fridge!!! I put like things together so I don't end up with 2 of the same thing open!!!! It helps me a lot!!! Thanks to you, I now prep all of my fruits and vegetables so they get eaten, not wasted!!! God Bless!!!
Yes, would love a refrigerator organizational video. I too try to organize mine. I even have felt shelf liners for the little spills and stuff. Just take them off throw them in the wash, hang dry and put them back. Less and quicker wipe downs. Its great in the beginning. But, then when it goes south it runs. Someday we'll find the perfect fit of organization. My condiments are all set in my drawer on the shelf. I've been told to do this so, when needed you just take the drawer off the shelf use it and put the whole drawer back. It helps with large meals and bbqs. I've thought of using a bin for them all and putting them on the shelf. Thanks for the tips. Great vlog 📷.
My grandma taught me when she picks things such as watermelons, cantaloupe, or other melons to look for a bunch of markings or yellow spots because that means it sat in the field longer. There's also little bug-bite looking spots that shows that bees or something were trying to get into it because they can tell it's sweet. Don't know how true that is but that's how I pick my melons and it hasn't failed me yet!
Definitely would love to see a fridge organization video! Enjoyed this one (I enjoy ALL your videos)…..worked on my grocery list while watching- thanks for the inspiration 😊. Beautiful kitchen, by the way - loved watching y’all get it to where it is now. Amazing job by you & Kyle! 🧁🧁🧁
I have a Friend that has a butlers pantry like you have and they have a mini fridge for all the condiments in they. It helps keep the big fridge more organize. Then they use the door space to put prepared fruit and veggie containers.
Enjoyed the video today. Yes you have to stitch those dollars. We plant a garden year round but I usually go to the Farmers Markets to get some of my must haves. I freeze a lot of our produce and I can tomatoes every summer. My daughter has made me proud she will carry on with putting up tomatoes for the winter. I simply love fresh produce it must be a southern thing. I love how the boys gathered around to see what goodies you brought them. I am sure your grocery bill is a little more during the summer months while the kids are out of school. Thanks Amanda for all the tips today. Enjoy your week and God bless. Till the next time.😊
Good tips! I have a couple *celery tips* for you: the leafy tops have a lot of flavor; use in soups etc. Cut the bottom off a bunch in one piece, set in a little water, and let the boys watch it regrow! 😊
Your TH-cam channel is one of my favorites. Love your down-to-earth approach to managing your life. I’ve never got the hang of meal planning. I try it, but end up changing my mind or not having enough time on the day I plan to fix something.
@@ThisCrazyLife yes please! My fridge always feels cluttered and I can’t find anything. Most times things go to waste because I can’t find or like you said in this video, goes to waste because it’s not prepped! I can’t wait!
I don’t have winco or Aldi near me. I only have Rouses, Winn dixie and Wal-Mart. I have a Trader Joe’s about 30 minutes from me and I go there sometimes. Amazing looking haul, so healthy! As far as watermelon, you want a deep yellow bottom (where it ripened on the vine - ground spot) and wide stripes and more rounded shape. Never fails me.
It takes a few minutes to look at the flyers and show the sales and in most cases you may have to visit 1 or more stores these days. Farmers Markets are great this time of year but it is important to have the list prepared and handy! I stopped going into the store randomly and now only go in for specific items. I love that you provide a lot of fruits and vegetables for the kids to snack on. Those package goods are not great with all the ingredients the have in them. I make a cake or cookies myself so I know what is in it but summer is best for fresh produce. I would love to see a fridge organization. I have purchased many of the things you use! All have been great! Need to check out Temu for those containers. Thanks, Amanda! Great video!
I love everything, but so glad you bought the bowl.. I decorate for all seasons I have always enjoyed that and it makes my family happy. I loved the one Halloween decor that was a typewriter and it had to hands.. I like spooky,, I would like it if you showed different decor from different stores. Thanks for asking😊
I love every single video you have made. Love watching you both transform your Arizona home. Love hearing the real-life sounds that you drop in now and again. Much love to you all from New Zealand.
Hi Amanda! Enjoyed this video and shopping the links! Yay fridge organizers. Looking forward to declutter, will try to work right along with you. Our home is in dire need of a declutter. Have a fabulous weekend Paige family!!!🧁🧁🧁
🍓🍓🍓 I also do most of my shopping at Aldi first. I bring coolers and shop the day of their restocking. Then I put cold stuff in the coolers the run next door to our Kroger get what things that I either can't find at Aldi or don't like there. Sometimes I will switch it up and go to the Aldi in a different town close by and use the Walmart next door. But I get gas points when I shop at Kroger :)
With your celery keep the end that you chop off & put in a jar with water & it will regrow & the leaves keep them for stock for soups. Fridge organisation use those acrylic draws they save space. I can’t believe how cheap food is where you live. I’m from Australia it’s so expensive here. Capsicum is $6.90 kilo (you call them bell peppers) grapes are $15.00 kilo . Eggs can $9.00 for a dozen. Apples vary a lot but anything up to $6.00 kilo. I like seeing grocery hauls. It’s interesting seeing the price differences between countries 🧁🧁🧁.
We shop Aldi first, but also loving Fresh Thyme lately. Not sure if those are available everywhere but they have amazing produce for our area. We also shop costco but are very cost conscious in each store 😅 planning and prepping is the way to go.
Hmm I haven’t heard of fresh thyme! But sounds like such a cute name!! And yes - you have to be very aware in each store to make sure you’re getting the best prices
This video is so satisfying to me. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but grocery shopping is my favorite chore! There is something so cathartic to me about walking through and actually physically choosing my groceries. We almost exclusively shop at Kroger. It definitely leans towards the pricier end of the grocery scale, but their rewards points simply cannot be beat to me. We save SO MUCH on gas every month because we take up so many points!
I do the same thing. I pick out what meals to make for he week, and make my list accordingly. I've actually passed this on to my sister & sister-in-law, since they kept overbuying/overspending.
I was told one time that in order to pick a ripe watermelon is it it is yellow on one side then it has sat on the ground long enough to get ripe. So pick a watermelon that is yellow on one side. Good luck Amanda. Love your videos.
I have been getting grocery delivery even before 2020...when Instacart was $5 a month. Now I have Walmart+ so get groceries delivered from them...also with Walmart+ we get free Paramount TV. And I also wash and cut up veggies and fruit right away...sure makes life easier 💜💙💚💛🧡 p.s. Missed your "Bye Guys" ending hahaha
Absolutely love watching your videos and all that you share , I’m going. Into hospital on Monday for a major operation so I will have to watch on Tuesday or Wednesday, 🥰
Oh Yes!!!! I have read & seen that you all have fruits in Brasil that we don’t have or have never heard of in the U.S. I would love to have so much more fruit here!!
We are Gluten free and Kosher, I shop at Korger and Meijer and Aldi sometime Trader Joes. I am differently abled so I have to meal prep once a week. Any organizing videos or cleaning, grocery hauls are great too.
Can’t believe how fast the boys are growing up. Luke is already a teenager or he will be very soon he’s a cutie! You are still adored by Noah which I love to watch but Luke ranks right up there.. the 3 boys look like there very close. Take care and enjoy your summer❤
What refrigerator do you have? I love the drawers and would love to watch a fridge organizer video. You’re the best! ❤ Love watching your and videos and look forward to them every time they come out. Enjoyed the outdoor ones. My favorite are the recipes and cooking segments. TIA! 🍓🍇🥕🥒
Thanks! For a future video - can you do a lunch version of a meal plan - especially with everyone home all summer - what do you do for lunches all week?
I absolutely love your videos, you have stores that we don’t have in the UK and as for the fridge organising video, I’m there for any organisation videos 👍🏼😍
Hi Amanda, Love your video's I prep veggies and fruit too right now they are so good.Glad you all had a great trip.We have a grocery store called Woodmens were I do most of my grocery shopping.Or If I'm at Walmart I will pick items up there to.😊😊😊😊
My husband and I sit down on Saturday morning and plan the next week's menu out. Being retired military, we usually hit up the commissary but since we live near so many farms, we go there for fresh fruit and vegetables. Some of our farms sell meat, eggs, pork, and chicken so we know what we're getting is fresh. It saves us money and time. However, we sometimes hit up Giant, Safeway, and Weiss if we can't find items we want. Cutting coupons and finding them online really saves us money. If we decide we don't want what we planned for Wednesday when the time comes, we substitute it for another night that week. There is no skipping a day or picking something else. It makes it too hard to keep the calendar in check and the grocery bill!
I'm in PA. And so we have what's called, Giant Eagle. And that is where we typically buy our meat. Sometimes produce as well. Then for the rest of the groceries, it's usually Walmart. We do try and buy from a few more ma and pa type places. But sadly, it is hard. Being big stores have made it so it's less expensive to shop for them, and more expensive to shop for others.
Amanda - I definitely want to see a fridge organization video...I batyle with the condiments as well - I just try to keep them organized and have the larger bottles on the bottom...Have a wonderful weekend Suga
I love those containers where you put fruit and veggies in. I do the same thing when I go grocery shopping. I also love WinCo, Sprouts and Smith's. I would love to see a refrigerator organization video
🛒Thanks Amanda...I made out my grocery list while watching this video and added cherries, celery and carrots because of you. Your healthy eating habits are contagious!
In Florida I love shopping at Aldi. Then I do delivery from Wal-Mart and Kroger. We don have physical Kroger stores but they deliver from a big warehouse. Love your produce prep, I need to do this. 😄
I’m buying a second fridge next week to keep in the garage. It’s just for those darn condiments! I swear they multiply behind closed doors. Cold drinks and condiments take up 90% of my space. Aaaauuuughhhh! I would love to see a video of organizing your refrigerator. Thanks! 🌺 🧁🧁🧁
Hi Amanda! Y’all deserved a 2 week vacay! Wish we could, maybe one day.😉 I just love watching all your videos to the end. I don’t know about other people it’s just soooo relaxing watching you food prep! Lol but true!😁 I’d love to see the fridge organization video. TFS! Blessings! 🙏❤️😊 🧁🧁🧁
It was such a nice trip! Always the work leading up to a trip makes you wonder if it’s worth it, but really it just makes you enjoy it all that much more 💗 and yessss! I’ll work on fridge ideas bc I need them too haha
❤ it's always pleasing to watch ur videos. I didn't know about the terra-cotta dic in the brown sugar. Your food prep, shopping tips very good and to watch you prepare them makes the task easier for everyday life. I was wondering, do you use the ends of your veggies to make veggie stock? Keep on being awesome. Enjoyed you.😊😊❤❤
Hi its Carmela I enjoyed that so much made me go to my fridge and change things up Wish I had some of those containers loved the fruit containers thanks for another great video
🧁 Thank you for encouraging me to prep my fruits and veggies as soon as I get home from grocery shopping. I am like you, if I don’t do it right then all bets are off that it will happen the next day or there after. I’m working on it Amanda!
OMG I love those Temu fruit and veggie containers!!! Looks like you can clean your stuff right in the container and then strain it right in the container!!! I want those!!
I’m with you on feeling stuck for fridge organization! So many people I follow swear by the lazy Susan’s and it just seems so wasteful, but I think I’m about to try it! Do you have any of those or have you tried them before?
I'm so good to be looking for those containers you use for your berries on temu they look great and I love that they have separate drainage container to stop them going gooey and soggy on the bottom.
I make Cream of Wheat for my Mom when she does not have dialysis. Make it with your choice of liquid, preferably plant based or whole milk, grated nutmeg, vanilla, and I either add a table spoon of maple syrup. Mix that coconut milk with some Oatmilk and the above. It will be 😋!! What I started using to clean my grapes is just lemons!! I believe it works better, no chemicals in theLemons. Just cut one and soak it in a bowl with grapes and cool water, let it soak in the water a bit and then rinse as usual. I wash the majority of my fruits with with lemon or lime. I do the same with chicken. Cleanse off those chicken juices and will make your cooked chicken taste so much better just try it, you won't regret it.😊
🧁🧁🧁 living in the UK our food prices have risen so much lately. I always meal plan the best I can ahead of grocery shopping. I mainly shop at Aldi but can’t always get everything I need from there so also shop at Morrisons. Xx
Man I haven't been to a Winco since I was a kid back home. I remember recycling pop cans an bottles at the machines outside. Now though is always Walmart. Harpe's & 10 Box I've been to a few times. Safeway I didn't even know was still around ..wow. Albertsons was another childhood store. It's also been a very long time since I've seen paper bags used. I wish walmart still did.
Hi. I'm finally watching your videos again. I was camping 5 long days in the pines, didn't get to fish though. Love the inspiration i need to have a weekly menu ❤🎆🏕️
Always feel very motivated by your videos. I'm older and live alone. My children and grandchildren are all grown. Even though it has been this way for awhile, I still have trouble with meal planning and grocery shopping, and not over buying. Any suggestions?
🧁🧁🧁Loved the grocery haul! I don’t have the patience to shop multiple stores 😂 but you did great! I have to get back to meal planning. Regarding the condiments, what’s used often stays inside, others go in outside fridge. That’s how I save space.
omigosh I love your grocery hauls! I could watch one every week lol you remind me of exactly how I shop😊 I see so many women at work just spending soo much all the time and I can’t imagine, I’m always going to multiple stores to save money! 😅
*I have so many tips to share on making groceries affordable… but what are YOUR best tips?! Leave them below!* 👇🏼
My tip is to wash the ends of your bananas, scraping the black ends a bit. This is where fruit flies lay their eggs. Our grocer told my mama and I've done it and never have fruit flies. (Wow Luke has gotten tall, eh? Handsome young man.). Came back to say I don't know how to do emojiis either.
🧁🧁🧁
So like mentioned…buy in bulk when certain veggie or fruit is at its peak (usually cheapest in stores), prep all (example a 10 lbs bag of onions) as you prefer (I dice 3/4 and slice 1/4 of what I bought), freeze layed out on cookie sheet then store in sealed freezer bags removing as much air as possible. For onions, 1 cup = 1 onion. Do peppers, onions, green onions, green and yellow beans, corn (cob or grains), beets. Some have to be blanched, some don’t - ypu save money and time in the log run and you always have some on hand!
it's so crazy, but of all the videos I watch, u r the only person that does not haul junk food...love yer videos !!!!
Haha thanks! I’m happy you enjoy my hauls!
Omg right
Right?!!
I'm an old lady and I don't know how to "drop a emoji" but I love your family. I have been watching you guys for a long time and always to the end!
Haha your comment totally counts! Thanks for being here & your sweet comment! 🥰

Yes fridge video please! I just did my in-laws yesterday and for sure need to buy organizing bins for the fridge
Aww I bet they appreciated that a ton!

When you prep your celery for snacking save the celery leaves, they are great for adding to soups and stews.

I love everything, but so glad you bought the bowl.. I decorate for all seasons I have always enjoyed that and it makes my family happy. I loved the one Halloween decor that was a typewriter and it had to hands.. I like spooky,, I would like it if you showed different decor from different stores. Thanks for asking😊
I had used lazy Susan’s in clients refrigerators for condiments, dressings, squeeze bottles, etc. works well with kids.
Hey sweetie
You should separate the onions from the potatoes . The onions off gas and will make the potatoes ripen quicker.
Oh interesting! I didn’t know that….
I love every single video you have made. Love watching you both transform your Arizona home. Love hearing the real-life sounds that you drop in now and again. Much love to you all from New Zealand.
I love when you restock your fridge looks amazing all the time
Amanda, I love ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!!! SO INSPIRING AND MOTIVATIONAL!!!! 👍🥰😍 DEFINITELY STAYED TII THE END‼️💯
Yes I would love to see an in-depth fridge organization. I love your grocery haul💜💜👍🏾. 🧁🧁🧁

Thank you!! 💕 That’s so sweet of you to say. Have a great weekend, Hannah!!

Great tips 🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁. Happy you had a GREAT VACATION 🎉🎉
Thanks! It was so nice!!
Hi Amanda! The best way to pick out a good watermelon is to pick them up. The ones that feel heavier than they should for the size are the best!
I do the same thing. I pick out what meals to make for he week, and make my list accordingly. I've actually passed this on to my sister & sister-in-law, since they kept overbuying/overspending.
I was told one time that in order to pick a ripe watermelon is it it is yellow on one side then it has sat on the ground long enough to get ripe. So pick a watermelon that is yellow on one side. Good luck Amanda. Love your videos.

Oh Yes!!!! I have read & seen that you all have fruits in Brasil that we don’t have or have never heard of in the U.S. I would love to have so much more fruit here!!
That’s so amazing!! I’d love to visit other countries like that & experience what it’s like!
🧁🧁🧁I absolutely loved this video! Thank you for the motivation and tips.
Aww thank you 💕 so happy you enjoyed it!
I ALWAYS get meal inspiration from you! Love the healthy, lighter options you share, especially in this AZ heat 🤪.
We are Gluten free and Kosher, I shop at Korger and Meijer and Aldi sometime Trader Joes. I am differently abled so I have to meal prep once a week. Any organizing videos or cleaning, grocery hauls are great too.
I would LOVE tips/tricks for condiment fridge storage!
Haha I’ll work on it!
Love your vlogs! Kitchen is beautiful. Have a super fun day!😊🌞

Thank you!! 💕 Have a great weekend, Rita!!
@@ThisCrazyLife you too, hope you’re all nicely relaxed after your holiday xx
I used to never prep anything. I have started with celery, carrots, and peppers.
Hi Amanda,
Love your video's I prep veggies and fruit too right now they are so good.Glad you all had a great trip.We have a grocery store called Woodmens were I do most of my grocery shopping.Or If I'm at Walmart I will pick items up there to.😊😊😊😊
Love watching your channel!! Thank you for sharing ❤
My husband and I sit down on Saturday morning and plan the next week's menu out. Being retired military, we usually hit up the commissary but since we live near so many farms, we go there for fresh fruit and vegetables. Some of our farms sell meat, eggs, pork, and chicken so we know what we're getting is fresh. It saves us money and time. However, we sometimes hit up Giant, Safeway, and Weiss if we can't find items we want. Cutting coupons and finding them online really saves us money. If we decide we don't want what we planned for Wednesday when the time comes, we substitute it for another night that week. There is no skipping a day or picking something else. It makes it too hard to keep the calendar in check and the grocery bill!
I'm in PA. And so we have what's called, Giant Eagle. And that is where we typically buy our meat. Sometimes produce as well. Then for the rest of the groceries, it's usually Walmart. We do try and buy from a few more ma and pa type places. But sadly, it is hard. Being big stores have made it so it's less expensive to shop for them, and more expensive to shop for others.
Amanda - I definitely want to see a fridge organization video...I batyle with the condiments as well - I just try to keep them organized and have the larger bottles on the bottom...Have a wonderful weekend Suga
I love those containers where you put fruit and veggies in. I do the same thing when I go grocery shopping. I also love WinCo, Sprouts and Smith's.
I would love to see a refrigerator organization video
🛒Thanks Amanda...I made out my grocery list while watching this video and added cherries, celery and carrots because of you. Your healthy eating habits are contagious!
Ahh love hearing it!!
I've been watching you since 2018 and I haven't been on here for awhile but seeing your notification gave me joy ❤❤
Thank you!! 💕 That’s so sweet!
In Florida I love shopping at Aldi. Then I do delivery from Wal-Mart and Kroger. We don have physical Kroger stores but they deliver from a big warehouse. Love your produce prep, I need to do this. 😄
Qué maravilla hacer la compra y dejarlo todo limpio y preparado Amanda. Besos.
It felt so nice to get it all prepped for the week!
I love your videos, Amanda! 🧁🧁🧁Great grocery haul, and I love those berry and veggie containers! 😊💕🌺
I'm so proud of you for talking about it, i hope you feel better with time
Thank you!! 💕
I’m buying a second fridge next week to keep in the garage. It’s just for those darn condiments! I swear they multiply behind closed doors. Cold drinks and condiments take up 90% of my space. Aaaauuuughhhh! I would love to see a video of organizing your refrigerator. Thanks! 🌺 🧁🧁🧁
I usually shop at Kroger.
I do like Trader Joes, Whole Foods and Aldi for certain things.
How many times a month do you go to the grocery?
We typically go every week :)
Hi Amanda! Y’all deserved a 2 week vacay! Wish we could, maybe one day.😉 I just love watching all your videos to the end. I don’t know about other people it’s just soooo relaxing watching you food prep! Lol but true!😁 I’d love to see the fridge organization video. TFS! Blessings! 🙏❤️😊 🧁🧁🧁
It was such a nice trip! Always the work leading up to a trip makes you wonder if it’s worth it, but really it just makes you enjoy it all that much more 💗 and yessss! I’ll work on fridge ideas bc I need them too haha
❤ it's always pleasing to watch ur videos. I didn't know about the terra-cotta dic in the brown sugar. Your food prep, shopping tips very good and to watch you prepare them makes the task easier for everyday life. I was wondering, do you use the ends of your veggies to make veggie stock? Keep on being awesome. Enjoyed you.😊😊❤❤
Hi its Carmela I enjoyed that so much made me go to my fridge and change things up Wish I had some of those containers loved the fruit containers thanks for another great video
Oh love that you got some motivation today!!
🧁 Thank you for encouraging me to prep my fruits and veggies as soon as I get home from grocery shopping. I am like you, if I don’t do it right then all bets are off that it will happen the next day or there after. I’m working on it Amanda!
OMG I love those Temu fruit and veggie containers!!! Looks like you can clean your stuff right in the container and then strain it right in the container!!! I want those!!
I have heard how to pick a good watermelon is to place 2 fingers between the green stripes.
I hope you are having a great day Amanda 😊
I’m with you on feeling stuck for fridge organization! So many people I follow swear by the lazy Susan’s and it just seems so wasteful, but I think I’m about to try it! Do you have any of those or have you tried them before?
I'm so good to be looking for those containers you use for your berries on temu they look great and I love that they have separate drainage container to stop them going gooey and soggy on the bottom.
Yesss! They’re amazing! And always such a great deal!
I make Cream of Wheat for my Mom when she does not have dialysis. Make it with your choice of liquid, preferably plant based or whole milk, grated nutmeg, vanilla, and I either add a table spoon of maple syrup. Mix that coconut milk with some Oatmilk and the above. It will be 😋!!
What I started using to clean my grapes is just lemons!! I believe it works better, no chemicals in theLemons. Just cut one and soak it in a bowl with grapes and cool water, let it soak in the water a bit and then rinse as usual. I wash the majority of my fruits with with lemon or lime. I do the same with chicken. Cleanse off those chicken juices and will make your cooked chicken taste so much better just try it, you won't regret it.😊
I’m always here for your fantastic videos. Can’t wait to see Mondays video. 🧁🧁🧁
🧁🧁🧁 living in the UK our food prices have risen so much lately. I always meal plan the best I can ahead of grocery shopping. I mainly shop at Aldi but can’t always get everything I need from there so also shop at Morrisons. Xx
Man I haven't been to a Winco since I was a kid back home. I remember recycling pop cans an bottles at the machines outside. Now though is always Walmart. Harpe's & 10 Box I've been to a few times. Safeway I didn't even know was still around ..wow. Albertsons was another childhood store. It's also been a very long time since I've seen paper bags used. I wish walmart still did.
Hi. I'm finally watching your videos again. I was camping 5 long days in the pines, didn't get to fish though. Love the inspiration i need to have a weekly menu ❤🎆🏕️
Always feel very motivated by your videos. I'm older and live alone. My children and grandchildren are all grown. Even though it has been this way for awhile, I still have trouble with meal planning and grocery shopping, and not over buying. Any suggestions?
I am glad you had a good vacation in Montana.
🧁 Great video, glad you had a great vacation 💕
I am going to try to organize my fridge in a few weeks. 😊
🧁🧁🧁Loved the grocery haul! I don’t have the patience to shop multiple stores 😂 but you did great!
I have to get back to meal planning. Regarding the condiments, what’s used often stays inside, others go in outside fridge. That’s how I save space.
Thanks Amanda for everything!!! Great tips!!! 🧚♂️🎂🎂🎂
Those terra gotta discs work great. Just remember to soak it in water first.
omigosh I love your grocery hauls! I could watch one every week lol you remind me of exactly how I shop😊 I see so many women at work just spending soo much all the time and I can’t imagine, I’m always going to multiple stores to save money! 😅
