Food Lion had a 5 lb bag of russet potatoes last week for $1.99 and they were GIANT!! I actually weighed my bag and it was 10 lbs!! Always weigh the bags! Sometimes they’re more and sometimes they’re less than what it’s supposed to be!! I got that tip from Frugal Fit Mom!! I love your videos!!! I’ve gotten so many great recipes from you❤❤
My friend takes leftovers from thanksgiving and makes croquettes from it. She’ll have potatoes, green bean casserole, dressing, turkey, a little gravy and idk what all in there but they turn out great every time. It’s amazing.
I keep the juice from bread and butter pickles to use in egg salad or deviled eggs. Like the suggestion to put the cooked apples ove yogurt. I was thinking of using some milk in the bowl. Loved all those potato recipes.
For my brown sugar, it comes in a plastic bag. I started leaving it in the bag and then putting the bag in a plastic lock-n-lock style container. I understand wanted to keep things in glass, but sometimes plastic keeps the moisture in better. A heel of bread also works and I used to have this thing called a brown sugar bear that I kept in the it. It looked like it was made of terracotta, but not sure if that’s correct. No idea where it is now lol After 3 moves, it disappeared.
I like your idea about prepping that first day to set up for success!! I'm doing most of mine on Saturday and Sunday. I have lots of potatoes, too. Thanks for your sharing.
Yes!! I find that if I just tough it out and get it done that day, I follow through the rest of the week 😄 I especially LOVE not having to chop as much throughout the week haha
How appropriate I find a new video of yours to watch while I am making grilled cheese with peppers inspired by you and our over abundance of end of garden peppers. 😄
Mashed potatoes freeze beautifully in souper cubes. I just pulled some out last night and it was so easy, just threw the mashed potato blocks straight in the pot (& no leftover waste from being trapped in a bag! 😊
Baked potatoes ...yum. If you wrap them in tinfoil and put them in the crockpot all day....easy and soft. Put about 2 inches on the bottom of the crockpot.
@@cindyc8860 no. It dries out like a big slice of crouton. Fear of yuckies is why I prefer the slice of bread instead of a piece of apple peel. I've never tried apple so for all I know it turns into something like a piece of dehydrated peel.
I wish I lived closer to an Aldi. The tofu at my local store is almost $4 on sale!! Really enjoying this video! Edited to add: OH MY GOSH, I just saw your dog - how completely adorable!!! ♥♥
I grew up having potato patties kinda like salmon patties. My mom would use leftover mashed potatoes add an egg for the binder. Currently I can’t remember what else went into them. She’d coat them in flour and then fried them.
@ you’re welcome! In Japan they make ones with mashed potatoes sautéed onions and ground beef and then roll them in egg and coat in panko breadcrumbs too! :)
Yes!! That sounds so delicious!! My picky son even eats the crispy skin 😋 This is the only way I make baked potatoes now. I can’t wait to hear what you think!
@@LauraLegge i do bake my potatoes that way...i was talking about the ritz potatoes...those look yummy and something my hubby would even like..I've never seen potatoes done like that...love it. EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD 👍 😋
I make the Croquettes with leftover chicken that I was up in the food processor mix it with that and I roll it in bread crumbs and I find if I refrigerate them for a bit they cook up easier and that apples would be good with yogurt they be good on pancakes or throw a pie crust over there and make apple tarte tatin
@@LauraLegge I also take a can of cream of mushroom soup and sour cream dill weed and garlic heated up and pour it over the croquettes and I can call it my mushroom garlic dill sauce
@@pattiross-d9d They’re Rubbermaid! I got them at Target and some on Amazon. I have them listed in the products of this video ☺️ They’re also in my Amazon Storefront.
egg salad much better if made the same day you boiled eggs- the flavours absorb better when combined with warm eggs - grated onion and dried mustard with home cooked salad dressing (can’t eat mayo) with fresh chives or green onion tops (though my container garden winding down for 2024 so no greens until spring) - make my devilled eggs and potato salad same - find these all much more flavourful when combined as cooked 🇨🇦🙏
You could have gotten them cuties. Whatever price they have on it and they bring up a different price they have to obey the price that it said it was. That is 100% illegal. I also get confused because most of us only have $25 and you spent more than what you said on the title

Oh my goodness, what a great deal!! Wow!! And yes! Always weigh the bags. Great tip! ☺️ I’m so glad you’ve found some recipes you love!
Great score on those taters!
I'm glad to see you're choosing healthier ingredients. Some of these budget friendly channels use so many packaged products that aren't even food. 😢
Love all the vegetarian budget meal ideas. I could eat potatoes every day, so you gave me some new inspiration. 😊 Keep it up!
Yay!! I’m so glad to hear that! ☺️

Yum! I’ll have to try your pickle juice trick next time! I love that!
I find when you have gnocchi in a broth butter sauce, if you saute them quick after boiling them helps so much!
@@jenniferwilson3436 thank you so much for the tip! I’ll try that!

I think you’ve made way more food than one person could eat!
@@wolchfam I definitely did 😅 I had to freeze some for the next week! I still have egg noodles left too!
I make a baked potato meal like that too! It’s delicious with leftover pulled pork! Love hard boiled eggs 🥚
@@alice_rabbit8345 yes!! So good!
Great ideas! My Mom taught me a wedge of raw apple stored in a sealed container with your brown sugar will keep your brown sugar soft.
Oooh!! Thank you! I’ll give that a try!
we put egg shells and potato skins and veggie scraps in the garden.. helps make the soil better with more nutrients and calcium...
Thank you so much for the tips! ☺️

Put a heal of bread in your brown sugar. That will keep it soft and chuck free.❤
@@TheresaBanks-zh4vh thank you so much for the tip! I’ll give it a try!
We always have put a crust of bread in the brown sugar to keep it from clumping.
I’ll try that! Thank you so much for the tip! ☺️

Potato Tacos are delish as well. Fab video! Thank you.
@@myebonytower oh yum! I had never heard of those until recently! I’ll look for a recipe! Thank you so much for the suggestion 😄
Store your brown sugar with a slice of bread in an airtight container. I usually use the heel, crust side down. Keeps the sugar nice and moist.
@@robineddy5180 thank you so much for the tip! I’ll try that!
Doesn't the bread mold?

@robineddy5180 I've heard of using a couple of marshmallows, but not bread - interesting!

I add butter and evaporated milk to my mashed potatoes, with S&P.
@@kathyscrazylife yum!! That sounds delicious!

I put onions and cream cheese, egg and flour in my potato cakes, a little baking powder and salt with the mashed potatoes.

Add some cooked breakfast sausage ground to the croquettes and some green peppers :)

The apples and sourcreme taste delicious and make ik more of a filling meal. I often use greek yoghurt ( cheap er in my country) instead of sourcreme
Yum!! I’ve gotta try that!
those crusted potatoes looked awesome..i will try those and add shredded cheddar cheese, cooked diced broccoli and bacon bits😊

Marshmallows. Put a couple in your brown sugar and it won’t clump.
Can you please do a meal plan in Mexico

@@camillecali2 haha yes that’s true! Thank you! I have to simplify the title sometimes 😅
Beans and rice

A family of six can live on this food budget of $25 dollars a week
Where i live prices are higher.
😂 stand on the street corner for free money for your service 😊
😂you only need 1 meal a day or 1 meal every 2 days to save money
Eggs where I live a dozen is 6 bucks 🙈
Oh wow!
Yeah I rather buy that than a Starbucks coffee or a quarter pounder
Go to a grocery store and ask for free grocery but be careful you don't go to jail
You could have gotten them cuties. Whatever price they have on it and they bring up a different price they have to obey the price that it said it was. That is 100% illegal. I also get confused because most of us only have $25 and you spent more than what you said on the title
Don't eat just drink water no food save all your money with no food eating
😂 go to McDonald's and beg for food tell them you have not eaten in 3 days a good way to save money
😂 get your yourself arrested and go to jail and have 3 free meal a day and no rent free clothes to is the best thing for you
