    Next time your grocery shopping, p/u a loaf or two or three of marked down French bread. Take it home, cut in slices, butter and add garlic powder, then put in 5 portions in foil and pop in freezer. You won’t need to buy Texas Toast as you’ll have home made in freezer.

      My local Walmart has upped the prices on their bakery bread. Has yours? I was shocked lol it is $1.78 for French bread now. $1.20 marked down. I had sticker shock.
      So adding the butter and garlic, Italian seasoning, it’s almost the same price to buy the frozen garlic bread for $1.98. 🫠

I could not get them ordered quick enough on my Kroger order and picked it up this morning and made a plate of enchiladas for lunch and had leftovers for dinner......... All because of you!!!!

    I'm in Kansas, we used to have a little hamburger place here, and they made burrito salads. I never even heard of it. But I tried it and it became one of my all time favs on their menu.
    Sadly the place closed, but we now make our own.
    Frozen burritos(the kina like you'd fry) ,but i spray them with pam and bake them.
    The sauce is chili,. Burritos, top with chili, lettuce, cheese,( sour cream ,black olives,. Tomatoes or picante sauce , onion etc to top it off. This is good to use up left over,salad,chili ,etc.
    I really like them and they are filling.

    I love that you also only use part of a packet or container of something, and keep the rest for another meal. I thought I was so stingy doing it, but I have to! Also love seeing how you 'stretch' meals to feed and fill everyone! I have a 13 year old son, and he never seems done eating nowadays!

    We rarely eat out lunch and never dinner as it costs so much. If my two sisters are wanting to eat out, I quickly add up what it will costs us. Usually $12-14 a meal, drinks (I drink ice water), tax and a tip. $50-$55. I tell them that would buy a lot of groceries and tell them the meats on digital ad that week at Kroger. Usually the groceries win. 😂😂. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

I think that at some point we get the jitzz of the quick, easy and cheap meals.. cheap meals are cheaper with homemade sauces and healthier... Not looking directly for the healthy side, but with all these videos she should introduce some basic recepies to me. These would be even more using what you have. Start incorporating milk, tomato cans and browning flour, etc...

You can add shredded cheese if you want. It's good.

    Can I be a member of your family? I don't live very far from you (I don't think). I live right outside of Chattanooga.

    I love quick and easy, some days it is just so damn hot outside I don't wanna stand in front of a stove, salad wraps and meat pinwheels are my go to, super easy and affordable.. I love seeing the boys taste test. they're all just so stinking cute.

    If you flip your knife over and use the tang side to scrape the cutting board into the pan, your knives will stay sharp longer. A trick I learned from a pro years ago and it has worked very well for me.

    I liked a Debi Morsette’s idea for garlic bread. We used to butter two slices and add sliced cheese for grilled cheese, then freeze it. It can go from freezer to griddle or bake between two cookie sheets for a crowd. Can you tell I was a lunch lady? 😁

    I have an idea I was wondering if you would be willing to go out to a typical restaurant like McDonald's or Wendy's or Taco Bell or wherever one night with your family and just get what you would normally get and see how much it costs and then take that same amount of money and go to the grocery store and see how many meals you can get out of it for the same price as one time out to eat. If your total out to eat is $38 then you would spend $38 at the grocery store if it's $23 then you'd spend $23 at the grocery store to see how many meals you would get out of the same price as one time out to eat

      Brooke... Please... try "Keep It Sinple's" suggestion of buying a family meal out, versus grocery haul for the same amount of $$. I'll bet you'd make a great video (or two 😉) with that idea!

      Yes! Ryder DOES look like Harry Styles. He's actually even better looking. I'm older, so had been wracking my brain to figure that one out. Thanks! 🌞
