I will admit that I do not watch recipes on this channel. Though I found you by searching for how to make soap. I stayed because I enjoyed listening to your lives. Hearing you talk about frugal topics has helped me stay on track and achieve my financial goals. You may feel like you repeat topics, but it helps to hear the same thing over & over.
The other day too I didn't want to do much bit saw a sale for 1 Liter of heavy cream for 2.00 usually they're 6.00 a container. So I bought 11 of them and made butter, sour cream, ice cream and some cream ice cubes to put them into coffee for creamer.
Oh my! That is a GREAT AND I MEAN GREAT deal!!! Good job!
@@LivingOnADime I thought so too!! Plus homemade ice cream is the best
I don't like dark meat, but my husband does. When I see a good price on the 10 pound bags, I buy. When I get them home I freeze them 2-3 to a bag. Then when I cook a whole chicken I add them and so end up with a lot of dark meat for my husband and he loves to take it for sandwiches. Beats cold cut prices by a ton!
A good tip I found about the cheaper chicken quarters recently was to use kitchen scissors (or a knife) to cut all of the extra fat and skin off before using them. I have been much happier with my finished meals since starting to do this. There are several videos on TH-cam showing how to do this but it’s very quick and simple.
Ok, You owe me for a year of my life. When you yelled "HELLLOOO" I was looking away for a second. Almost fell out of my chair. lol.
I really enjoy your live shows!! Thank you!! I do enjoy your other shows too though. The variety is nice! Live show with Q and A, Grocery Audits, Grocery Tips, Thrifty, Rant/"Get it together people", Budget/Cut spending, Garden tours, etc. I really appreciate you all voicing the Truth of God to all who watch!!! You teach and encourage others about right living.
100% agree
I agree with you, Some of the items labelled eligible for EBT/SNAP are things I consider to be luxuries!
I worked at a steak house as a teen and our potato soup wad made from leftover baked potatoes and non dairy coffee creamer. Season to taste.
I was so happy my hubby picked up three packages of discounted (1/2 price) smoked salmon! He’s finally getting on board with how I shop thanks to y’all😊
Hi you guys im working on getting my groceries down to 300 a month for a family for 2. Using your tips and tricks from dining on a dime cookbook and binging your videos😊
Tawra, try soaking cashews in hot water then blend until smooth to make your potato soup creamy without adding dairy. It's a common hack in vegan cooking.
that's cool ....I leave you playing when I am cleaning or working on a puzzle all the time
This weeks flyer at our local Freshco had Eye of Round Roast for $3.99lb, cheapest in a LONG time!!! So far I’ve bought 4 (they are pkg’d in a big log so approx $25pk . Deals on til 25 and you can only get 2 per purchase, going to get bunch more then my freezer is stocked for a long time!!!🇨🇦 most southern town in Ontario
🇨🇦Manitoba 80% snow Wed, Thurs, and Friday-10C Friday night. Winter appears to be here. 😢🧊🥶
I’ve been enjoying our fall colors here in Ohio.
Yesterday, I got 4 large bags of apples of someones tree, from facebook for FREE. I saw many offers of clean up apple tree and take all. We also have potato farms that allow gleaning afer they are done. They encourage it, for the community. Take as many as you want to find.
2. I shop at several stores.-Food Lion, Ingles, Walmart, Dollar Tree, and sometimes Dollar General.
I bought whole chicken for 87cents pound today.
I am 66 and it's been a few years since I had to cook for a crowd and I coupon and rebate and am able to feed a few others when rotating my stockpile. I have learned some things from y'all and remember when I was taught a lot by my parents. I no longer can garden or can and make jelly but I find ways to get what I need and want and sometimes you do have to sacrifice for other things and I hear you loud and clear that people you need to be willing to give up some things to accomplish other goals and needs and have to do or gets we all face.
I do appreciate y'all even if I don't agree with a lot of rants lol but it's your channel and I know I can fast forward or change it and can't figure out why so many other mean people can't . No need for them to be rude. What is it with some people today.
I like watching you videos. Some days you make me mad (🤣) and some days you make me glad. Love it when you get into scripture. Keep your chin up, it’s a self-centered world out there you are trying to reach. God bless you guys.
As for the potato soup, make a roux with gluten free flour and butter.
Cracked up with the potato moment. We’ve all done something like it 😂
My favorite kitchen appliances are my blender/old Oster Kitchen Center and all it's extras, stick blender and bread machine. At 70 I use other ones to for chopping veggies or heavy stirring as my hands/arthritis make it difficult for me. I've learned to take the lazy way to avoid over use of my hands.
Not lazy just smarter 😊👍
I just deboned my rotisserie chicken and cut up and mw my broccoli and added cooked rice and broccoli and cheese soups and a littke milk and some shredded cheese and salt, pepper and curry and it was delicious
I have a family member planning to move in with us this coming week. I filled my Walmart cart to do a grocery pickup. When I finished my list, it was almost $300. I started deleting the junk food and sodas and checked out at $250 for a month for 3 people. Probably could be less if I had gone to different stores instead of just Walmart. We love to snack, so it will be a challenge not having any. Love you and your family. Thanks for what you do.🙂
We have not shopped at just one store since forever. Since June '22, we have put an emphasis on stopping at stores with loss leaders, sales, speciality, and generally cheaper per unit product categories on the way home from trips out of our general area. Visiting these stores would be cost prohibitive if we were destination shopping from home unless making mega hauls.
In this area, if you run out of money for groceries you can turn to a food bank or food pantry; even if you're working. Many households have some food of some type on the shelf. Type your ingredients into Google with the word recipie such as "rice recipies" but do this also with the more obscure things like "water chestnut recipies". Drag out those cookbooks and look on line for basic foods from scratch. Begin a grocery list of basic foods and ingredients for when there is money to buy. Give yourself a challenge of no prepared beverages from soda to juice, no chips nor snack crackers, no cookies and even healthy bars, etc... for at least one grocery trip.
Make it a game! Where you win!
A great live show again.... thanks to you both for it. I've noticed that over the past 4 months or so there have been less questions & waaaaaaay more people saying how they've saved money so you're definitely getting through to your audience! Way to go!!! 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
Thanks for that!
@@LivingOnADime 💕🐨
Now, thats a good gift!
Yes, many stores! ALDI, $Store, Walmart, Brookshire (clearance only) and any where we can find a good deal😊.
The only time we have a full cart now days is, when we shop for our local Blessing Box.
Thank you for the great advice and
God bless you all. ❤
Don't know if your Brookshire's will have this sale, but in our area, starting tomorrow, Brookshires is having family packs of boneless top sirloin steak for $4 per pound. I use these steaks in place of roasts and stew meat.
Hey there you motivated me to cook
More lately and recycle my leftovers into a few dishes an apple crisp is in the oven now
Between you and your mom and a friend I have online that is always saying she can not do things for herself when I have to push myself if I want to eat not to be that dependent it's working I tackled a few things and still doing at a slow pace but I just can't t stomach being a needynelly woman
3 Food Lion stores in area, 2 Walmarts, 2 Aldi's, 2 IGA's to shop in. I try and combine grocery shopping with Dr. appointments etc to save on gas.
Lol on the 35% off the cook book for your kids. Too funny. 😂😂😂
In our little town we have one small local market (Mack's Market) and a Family Dollar/Dollar Tree combo store. We have to drive 50+ miles to a larger town that has a Walmart and a Smiths grocery store. We shop once a month when we get our SS checks, so sometimes it makes it hard to get in on the sales.
If you don't have money for groceries you can go to a food bank and get a box of food. I am not saying live off a food bank but I have used one twice this year and received good fruits veggies and meat. I left behind, for others, what I didn't need.
Love your cookbook. Got my brothers a cookbook also.
We only have publix, piggly wiggly and Walmart and both grocery stores are higher than Walmart
Try the soy milk in the potato soup. It is delicious. It is a great substitution for dairy.
The snap/ food stamps are also for foster children and buying them a treat or two or birthday treats seems reasonable. But teaching them, and your family to eat whole nutritious foods, cooked at home is very important.
If more people planned, learned to cook and fed their family at home, from home we would be much better off.
I also add a couple of " convienence foods "( chicken tenders, canned tuna, premade tortillas etc) and that saves us on the super stressful or unplanned emergencies at dinner time. But having some lettuce , dressing and protein can make dinner quick too
Hi I have a great tip! Any pumpkin acorn squash etc poke it like a potato put on dish. Micro or oven easy to cut and take out seeds. Micro corn on the cob too in husk. 2 min or soSo easy fast food!
I agree about the food stamps! I see people with carts full of crap.
Three stores for me, sometimes 4 (over course of month, two weekly)
Hadn’t picked apples in decades, but saw the deer eating the drops from a neighbors tree so I asked them if they minded if I took a few. They said PLEASE come take them all as they hate apples and the deer were drawn to the apples and stayed to eat everything in their yard. Their tree was laden with apples! I froze some then canned applesauce, apple butter, and apple pie filling. I tried to gift them some of everything I put up, but they turned it all down except for a couple plates of apple fritters and an apple cake, so we enjoyed the bounty ourselves!
Just picked apples today ! Will make apple butter and apple cider. What happened to apple butter last year?? Couldn’t find it anywhere!
If I knew i would love some even help you pick them if your neighbors were ok with it.
Shop at 3 ,sometimes 4 stores. Great show. God bless. Hugs to Jill.
As a Christian, my mother taught me the Bible says to always pray for Israel and to back them in prayer and financially. And the Bible says if you don’t you will be cursed. I feel like our blessings as a country has always been from God because we were with Israel, and when we turn our back on them we will be cursed.
Amen
Amen!
Yes!!! Shop clearance! Shop at more than 1 store. I use 3 or 4. Package fresh right away. Don't buy those convenience lunch things etc. Make your own in a tupperware container. We have a grocery outlet that marks clearance down to 10 or 20 for 97 cents. You know i buy a couple of cases then. Cheese 2 lbs for $1.97 etc. Crescent, refrigerator biscuits, cookie dough, sour cream 4 for 97 cents.
I shop at 3 stores. I like to get meat at our local store. Aldi for an items. Sam’s club or Costco for large bulk items. Walmart for certain items. I shop ads I got ground chuck for 1.99 lb this week.
I'm subscribed to all your channels-even the "relaxing in your garden"one and I live in a studio apt. 😂 I don't care I love you -
I especially like when u cook- it inspires me to make something out of them-
I pick apples if free . Got 2 paper boxes overflowing
I am so glad I live in IL now that you are having 10 degrees and snow! Today is 10/25. It was rainy and 70s. Tomorrow and Friday will be in the high 70s and sunny. :) Great video. Edited to say: I have used your "kids stuff" part of the cookbook so much as a teacher. I have made the play dough within the past couple of weeks and it lasts so long. I am making it again for another program I have. Love the kids recipes~
Mike, we normally compliment Tawra and Jill on how they're dressed, but we're complimenting you tonight. That shirt looks very good on you. You & Tawra complement each other in shirts tonight ...and in life. That was an impressive savings on the fruit at the first of the video.
I’ve made the Honey Baked Chicken several times and it is so delicious!
Also if you want affordable gf pasta, check asian markets
Hi Tawra and Mike!! From Alabama
I always check the fresh veg and fruit section which have day old foods,
I mostly shop at one store, Kroger. I pick apples every year.
Love your cooking shows.
If no money cook from stock pile have 3 of your books love them
Happy Anniversary 🍂🍁♥️🍂🍁🍃♥️🍂🍃💞🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂💗🍂🍁🍃🍁🍂
Our Wal-Mart does not sell gluten free flour. I sure wish they would. None of the stores I shop at sell it. No idea why not.
It's usually on the very top or bottom shelf of the gluten free section.
Try coconut milk in potato soup instead of milk. It's a bit different but still creamy a yummy. Try adding a dab of curry too
Haha Dave that was the best commercial haha “how do I get one?” 😂❤
And also for sandwiches why is it that Americans put sooo much hams and cold cut meat? Here in Europe we only put one slice of ham but my mother in law uses half a slice of ham and half a slice of cheese. She eats oatmeal every morning with her wild blue berries that she picks in the summer to last a year. Also, they don’t use mayonnaise on their sandwiches always butter and they fill it with vegetables, cucumbers and bell peppers. Instead of chips she used to only make popcorns for the kids and homemade pizzas. Way healthier and saves money.
I hear so much about ur banana bread , I would love to have the recipe ...Everyone says it's so good ...Pls give us ur tasty recipe ty....💖

@@LivingOnADime tyfs I appreciate u answering so fast ....👍🙂
In Ohio. I shop at Aldi, Kroger and Meijer. I'm blessed that I live with in 2 miles of them.
I shop at only one grocery store not only because of severe mobility issues but also my one store price matches the stores within ten miles including aldi’s
Enjoyed another video!! Thank you 😊 ❤🙏
Did you get any snow yet? It started snowing last night, and we are really getting dumped on. Plus very cold. WE live in Alberta Canada. Hope this is not here for the winter, but probably is. Yuck I detest snow, and cold.
I have premium it's 13.99 and videos that I watch are supposed to get a cut of that since there is no ads
I can no longer use facebook I have guardiao computer protection and it blocks all ads so I have been cut off on facebook
I can name That tune in 6 notes!
Do you have any tips on ironing and cleaning a garden tup.
Tub
I enjoyed watching God Bless You all 😊
Have you tried blending silken tofu to make a soy cream? Its worked in sauces for me but will have to try with potato soup😊
Can’t wait till after Halloween candy sales! I’ve heard and see sometimes where people ask for say- buy me a cup of coffee etc.
I'm dairy free and use Planet Oat oatmilk in my cooking. Gravies and all. Can't tell the difference. Don't get flavored or low fat, though.
3 stores weekly and Aldi’s once a month because it’s not to close but go get bread and buns and put in freezer and it’s just as good when I take out of freezer Aldi’s has the best bread for 1.29 better than the high priced bread.
Here our sale on chicken breast in Canada is 6.99 a pound 😅 I havent bought chicken breasts in a couple years. I just buy whole chickens now when they're on sale. Or an already cooked rotisserie as they're even cheaper
Tawra, try the country crock vegan heavy cream for your potato soup! I veganized it with that and it was great!
2 or more. I check the flip app which shows most markets circulars. Thank God there is an Aldi's, Shop n Save for the grocery store about ten mins from me. We do have Dollar Tree, Family Dollar Dollar General about the same distance. My older daughter is working at our Family Dollar so she lets me nnow ehen certain items come on sale.
a really nice creamy soup, using a whole cooked cauliflower, does really nice with chicken broth base and add at the end about a cup of with real 100% cream, (not the heavy whipping cream that has additives though,) & i use whole milk plain yogurt as it will not impact lactose at all. Season Salt or just season the soup salt, garlic, onion and pepper. Walmart sells 64oz size at a great price here. I do like to add sharp cheddar to the top.
Could you please shoot a video, of the regular gluten free bread you make? Can you use a breadmaking machine?
I have a golden apple tree
My kids use " fire" all the time. They're college aged
We watch ad free because we have Brave downloaded
there is a non dairy whipping cream (it may be organic valley) a little pricey though
Food prep and food stamps, need to go together....
3 stores
Our grounds covered in snow now 😅 it snowed last night
Mine is 15.99 a month to TH-cam to block ads
Tried to order price book and all it's showing is the one you have to print.
They are on the way next week.

I received a lot of apples from my parents and sister from their trees free.
I have GOT, to figure out how I can get your cookbooks in Canada, I want them SO badly, especially the Gluten Free book. Anybody have any ideas? That aren't scammer's.
If you know someone in the USA, talk to them about having the books sent to them, then pay the second shipping cost to mail to yoi.
Come on down!!
I've picked apples on and off most of my life. Consider screwing up your courage and knocking on a door where you see full,apple trees and especially apples on the ground. When weve done this, we've offered to split what ever we've picked 50-50. Windfalls on the ground? Never had anyone take me up on the 50-50 offer yet. Evrry bit of free, usable apple windfall is Apple ypundont have to pay for. - I've never done apple or other fruit tree u- pick.
I'm happy just to have something to eat, lol. Most everything goes to the animals these days. But don't worry, when your videos do come up I enjoy watching. I do eat, better than some oddly to others. Lol.
Is there a way to know if a work-at-home job is legitimate?
Yes I find nothing legit just scammets wanting my info
2 more than 1 store
Had a squirrel that would throw the apples down on our hedgehog. Had to hire two men to carry him out of my yard in a trap. He weighed 45 pounds
The squirrel?
@@KC-js5ut no, carry out the hedgehog. They were a team. The squirrel in the tree through the apples down on the ground and then they both feasted.
