i saved money by cutting back on buying food from restaurants and cooking at home instead.
This is easier for me now. It seems the quality of food at restaurants has declined especially with inflation in the past couple of years. A great tip and reminder.
I bought salad fixings to last me a couple of days. I wanted precooked chicken to add to it. A package of precooked presliced flavored chicken was $8.99 for 12oz. Ouch! I went and bought chicken leg quarters for $.99 @lb. Roasted it myself. Not only did I get enough chicken for a couple of days of salad. I got enough to freeze precooked for the next time I wanted salads. All for just $4. Proud of that one.
Oh my I had a brain wave this week Emmy! I purchased a sack of carrots and a sack of potatoes. I never do this but decided for the grand total of £6.00 (UK) that it might be worth a little effort . So I settled myself with a pot of coffee at my table and a film on my laptop and began peeling, chopping,blanching and bagging and freezing! 6 hours work in total but I have made it! Did I feel disheartened at the amount of work? Yes! Did I cry at one point and call my husband a bad name? Yes I did! Did I wake up the next morning and look in my freezer and feel so thrilled ? Yes I did! Not sure i would do it again in a hurry but seeing this amount of prepped food I don't think I will need to!!! Have a wonderful week both of you. Blessings sent from the UK xxx
You are inspiring me to do this too.
I took two friends to a food bank. My policy is to not ever charge for fuel. Many of the people living in my senior apartment complex don't drive anymore. On the way home one of the ladies said she had clothes in my size and invited me to look through them. So nice.
I have advice that will definitely curtail overspending at dollar tree. Only buy things that are American made or can’t be found somewhere else made by a better option. 90% of dollar tree stuff is made in China. I will buy if it’s Japanese or another country but I try my best to avoid Chinese products. I’m not perfect but I try. Plus read labels, it might shock you!! Also slows you down a little so your brain catches up and says, “Hey wait a minute, that’s not what I want!”
I took advantage of a coupon deal for 5 bratwurst for 99 cents from my local gas station grocery store.. then made a huge pot of Sausage and Vegetable soup. The vegetables were all from my garden too. I also watched a video on how to make homemade flour tortillas and a video on how to make corn tortillas, so now I can make them at home.
Thank you for reminding us to be patient vs impulse buying, which I need to practice.. Congratulations on the mirror & light switches!
Thank you Emmy and Paul for another wonderful video!! That mirror really looks great. To answer this week's question, I was excited about a simple fix that I'm surprised I hadn't done sooner. I bought a few water bottles at the dollar store that I can use for my coffee when I need some on-the-go instead of buying coffee or some other caffeine outside of the house. I'll just pre-make the coffee ahead of time and store in the fridge for iced coffee the next day. Same with using them for water instead of buying plastic disposable water bottles. I am surprised I haven't done this sooner, but it did make me happy this week!
This week, I saved anywhere from $904-2900 (Canadian). Since I will be having 2 cataract surgeries, I needed to preorder my lenses. I opted for the free ones offered by our health care system. after, I made the decision, I was told I made an excellent choice. I asked what the difference was between the three other lenses and was told “nothing, just the way they were marketed.” also this week, I had two left over chicken thighs, so I made a pot of soup. I froze enough for two bowls for later on, and we will be having the other two bowls for lunch. I always enjoy your videos.
i have been looking for a comforter for my spare bedroom for a while now. I found a gray Target brand comforter at a thrift store for $7.50. Looks like new! It is reversible if I want to change the look to a white and gray pattern.
We went to a thrift store and I found a piece of pottery by a man that I collect. It was a chip and dip bowl in perfect condition. He wanted $90 on his shop but I only paid $28. Score! He is a Missourian artist so I always check the thrift stores here in KC for pieces.
I needed a mirror for my master bath. I needed it a certain height to rest on my counter to cover a blemish on the wall. My sister and I were shopping at a thrift store and she spotted a mirror it was a little shorter than what I needed but I got it anyway. Somebody had painted it and it matched my counter. I put a swag of flowers at the top of the mirror and it was perfect. I paid $5 for a 38-in tall mirror
I've cut back on going grocery shopping by not going...and that is how I've saved alot by not doing it...😊😊😊
Every single time I cut down on grocery shopping by not going, it surprises me just how long the foodstuffs I already have last!
I took advantage of the Sam’s Club membership special, paying $15 instead of $50.
I like those flip flops! Also, I needed shoes for a wedding and found some at a consignment store for only 4$!
Last week I got whole chickens marked down to $0.92/lb. I bought 8 and put them in the freezer. Feeding 3 boys ages 16, 15, and 12 one chicken doesn't go very far.😊
Hello to you both! ❤
I just wanted to share that I bought the American woman’s cookbook at a flea market for a dollar!!👏🏻👏🏻
I was so excited I just had to share!
Thanks guys, you’re the best!
I have been checking the meat section at my store. They have a $5 a pound section (really good tender steak and pork). I found some with 30%off stickers. Thats steak for $3.50 a pound. Also found 90/10 ground beef also 30% off. Found pollo assada boneless chicken thighs for $2.49 a pound. I won't have to buy meat till next year. Used my food saver. Thank goodness I have a 18 cubic foot freezer in the garage. It's a wonderful feeling to get good deals on stuff you need
I enjoy your videos, and all your helpful hints.💕
Just got back from the thrift store in my town. Spent $4 on 3 books. Friday is 1/2 off book day!! YAY! It helps me keep my little library stocked for fall. Have a wonderful week end, bet the colors in your area are stunning!
I try to buy items for several uses...i.e. a small meatloaf can give several different meals without being "tired" of it. A tablecloth turned into a curtain...its really fun to do this.
I hope you & Paul are doing well! We all need to treat ourselves now and then! Sale items? Even better! ❤
I have those exact same flip flops! Love them!❤
Love the mirror. I go to thrift shops all the time.
Your New mirror compliments your powder room beautifully 😊
Oh and I got a bar stool for setting at the sink too peel tomatoes, and a screen door both for $5.00. Screen door for the green house I'm going too make.
Happy Friday everyone
Happy Friday to you too! x
I am working on emptying my freezer. I have a pork loin thawing to roast tomorrow.
The mirror is beautiful!
And your budget meal, Delicious
I'm about too get 2 rotisserie chickens for around $11.00 my cousin is picking me up some too make up meals and bone broth with the bones and veggie peels. I can my broths and she freezes them. And will make home made egg noodles from Brown eggs I get at $2.50 a dozen. Amish eggs. Plus I bought a pair camo winter coveralls. I got them for $5.00 but I will have too replace the zipper. Its better too change too a metal zipper. They last longer.
We have been looking for flooring for our new house and got a great deal by one of my wife's coworkers whose husband owns a flooring company. Also we get to pay it off in 12 months interest free. $2000 for flooring for almost 900sq ft of course we are installing ourselves and picking up.
Wow, what a beautiful mirror!! Patience won out once again!

The bathroom mirror is just gorgeous! Yes, mirrors are so expensive!! They are trendy to use at wedding to make seating charts and other signage. I’m making one for my daughters wedding and thankfully i found one on clearance at Home Goods. You definitely always have to keep your eyes open for a bargain ❤
My want is a weaving loom. That way I can use up all my old shirts and t-shirts for rag rugs. I even used my grandmother's saved funeral ribbons for 3 rugs. And endless uses for it .
Another great video
I skipped the bookstore for the new releases and have my name on the library back order.
I’m busy doing fall projects before cold weather hits… it will be wonderful when the library calls on a cold morning and I will enjoy the new releases for free.
That mirror is beautiful!!! And I do have to say again that I think the color of the toilet and sink are so pretty
Im on a buy no clothes stint until at least January and will only buy then if necessary.
I just made short beef ribs with veggies Spanish style and also used chicken broth. Making Spanish style red rice. Awesome dinner.
That bathroom mirror is absolutely beautiful. My husband's grandpa worked as Levingtons yacht captain when his grandpa first came to America from Sweden.
We had a cookout beginning of September and grilled hamburgers, there were many left over so I froze them,then I was given some fresh corn on the cob that I cooked and froze,I had some potatoes that were not cooked for the potato salad so i boiled them and decided to make sheppards pie with everything , just defrosted put it together and microwave to warm servings😊
Love love that mirror!
I had been looking at getting a food saver but resisted impulse buying and was going to wait for a sale. Next day my mom informs me of a food saver at an estate sale. I got it for $10!
Beautiful mirror.
I used an app and earned cash back on gas and at the hardware store. I needed batteries for my smoke detectors and I got 17% cash back. That was great bc I needed six 9 volt batteries. Today I picked up the weekly specials at the grocery store.
All good stuff. Nice! Thanks much 🎉🎉❤
I have that same trashcan for my downstairs bathroom.
Me too.
I have that same trashcan in my car fits perfectly between the back seat and cup holder ,, yes good quality
I also have a small swing top can in my bath room from dollar tree .
May God greatly bless you too. 😊
Thank you for the lovely video
When I was young that instant pot was called a pressure cooker!
Emmy! I’ve started saving my chicken bones and leftover veggies so I can make you own bone broth! I also made chicken and vegetable soup with veggies left over from a roast we had. I was able freeze half of it for another day. THANK YOU so much for all of your tips! 😁
Sometimes you just happen to be in the right place at the right time. I was at my discount food store in the Minneapolis area a couple of weeks ago and I purchased just over $20 of merchandise. The clerk who was ringing up the sale said "did you get your blueberries?" He said if you buy over $20 of stuff today you get a free CASE of blueberries! I couldn't believe it. Now I did know the blueberries were on the older side and I had to pick through them to take out a few bad ones, but I ended up freezing over 7 quarts of blueberries and they are wonderful. I think things like that are a blessing from God.
I was at Costco last week & stumbled on a sale of boneless pork loin: $5 off. Though not on my list, I got one anyway with future meals in mind. For $11, I got 4 pork roast dinners!
I love to go to the dollar tree, but I always go for a purpose
I had right for the food I get canned fruit for $1.25. It cost me $1.58 at Walmart.
I also buy beans and tortilla chips and wraps sometimes I get bread and bagels
You did REALLY good on that mirror! So pretty! We've bought a couple of those over the past few years and they were expensive :(
I work in an Assisted Living facility. When ever the kitchen goes through a large 4 l pickle jar I take it home and use it to store pasta, flour, kidney beans etc. .This month I added two jars to my collection. Since I need to store most of them in the open on a shelf I spray paint the lids with some spray paint I bought on sale at Walmart.
Thankyou so much for another lovely video ! As ever I really enjoy everything. I also use my Instant Pot but I have never heard the expression London Broil ?!? What is this cut of beef ? Could it be Brisket of Beef ? I would LOVE to know. Lots of love from the North of England ! ❤️
I shut off fans and heat 12 hrs a day saving 672 hours a year if I need heat kerosene lamp to heat one room I can even curl my hair with a lamp multipurpose 😅 I don't buy nothing but necessities no vacations no mall shopping 😅 happy birthday to me 😅
I saved money not not purchasing a bird figurine subscription. I love birds, cardinals are not favorite, and the figurine was a cardinal, but I thought hard about it and decided not to start!
What great thrift finds! Your bathroom looks even lovelier…..it was already classy…..love the instant pot meal, looks so yummy….have you cooked pasta in it? If not, you need to give it a go…..after you place the pasta in, cover with enough water to cover the pasta….no pieces poking above water…..I set my pot for 2 minutes….no stirring, no boiling over…it’s the best….also, when I release the steam, I place a clean dish rag over it, stops it from getting all over my cupboards….hope this helps….thanks again for sharing great tips….
I found a cute pattern to crochet witches hats for Halloween. Got to looking in my yarn stash, and I had all the colors I needed to make them. Four down, four to go!!
I finally found a foldable serving tray ,,I finally found one for $6 off Marketplace , just needed a small touch up ,, 😊
Quick question
All of a sudden I’m getting advertisements (5 today) while trying to watch your 20 minute show. Is it possible to avoid them to concentrate on your show???😇
You got five ads in the middle of the video? That’s very odd. I’ll look into it. The ads are how we get paid for our videos though.
14:00 14:01 14:02 14:06 14:10 14:16 14:18 14:18 😅 14:30 14:31 14:33 14:35 Love love love love your videos.❤❤❤
Got to say though I had to laugh when you centered the mirror above the toilet instead of the sink.❤❤❤
At least he won't come out with spinach between his teeth.😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
It's not over the toilet. It's centered in the middle of the wall between the two. It looks very nice, actually.
