- What a great day! Had a plan and got some deals. Have money left. Sharing with you what’s left from previous shops and my Blessing Haul from my little sister. #cheapeats #pantrystockup #pantrychallenge #groceryhaul
You are building up quite a bit of food buildings on such a small budget! What a great inspiration you are
Oh thank you!
One thing i like to do when i open a package of bacon...i cook the entire package, drain the grease into a jar and put in the fridge or freezer for frying or flavoring. I then feeeze the pre cooked bacon in a ziplock to use as much or little as i want. Keeps it fresh so it doesn't go bad. Stretches it out quite well.
That's a great idea! Thank you.
I'm a 65-year-old divorced retired nurse. Love your channel. I grow some of my own produce and shop sales and loss leaders. I utilize the food pantry. I live in Central Indiana in a tiny 900 sq ft condo. Thanks for your frugal tips. Love your motto. I'm a Christian as well. Blessings.
Thank you Sabrina! Hello to Indiana, the state of my birth. God bless and keep you!
Ive never, in my whole life, lived in a home bigger than 950 sq feet. I dont feel like its "tiny" lol. Currently, my husband and I live in a condo that he owned before we married 9 years ago and its 945 sq feet. Two beds, two baths and underground parking. For two 60 year olds and a senior fat kitty, I feel like its perfect.
@@qq1651 I have a senior kitty (13) too! I love my sweet little home (paid off before I retired). Blessings.
God will provide. Trust in him and u will see provision. Give u koodos to for being a nurse
God bless you n your family
God Bless!
Wow, you’re doing great! You may have enough left over at some point to be able to skip a week of buying groceries. You could use the extra money to buy staples like flour, sugar, spices and so on, but I’m sure you already know that. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the tips!
You are doing incredible! The fact that you still have leftover food from the past two weeks is amazing. I hope you find an egg special and can get 2 dozen.
Thank you so much Robyn!! So good to see you.
If I can't use all my eggs in a timely manner, I line my 1 cup liquid measuring cup with a sandwich ziploc bag and crack a egg into it and mix with fork, seal and put in my freezer. Few hours later I remove my measuring cup 😅 and then whenvever I'm baking something, I remove egg{s) from freezer and I defrost overnight in my fridge. I do label bag beforehand and date it as well 😊
Good morning, You are helping so many people with your videos. Thank you so much .
You are so welcome and thank you!
I agree 100%...seniors can eat very nutritious if they learn to shop sales & when it's a really good sale kinda stock up for the next time. Even if they don't like to cook or can't, simple meals can still be eaten
What a blessing your sister gave you! She sounds like a blessing herself. ❤
Robin you do a great job with your grocery shop. It's great that you stick to just what you have to spend. Very impressive. I really enjoy your videos and your just so real. Thanks blessings to you
Thank you! You too Cindy!
Tips I find useful to keeping food costs reasonable
A. I look for sale and clearance items first.
B.I am flexible if I want chicken and it is too high a price - I simply don't buy it.
C. I have lowered my portion size especially on carbs. A bag of precooked rice from Dollar Tree [ I CANNOT COOK DECENT RICE and have given up ! ] is $1.25/3servings. I stretch it to 5 portions - or $.25/ portion.
D.I eat meat and fish but also eat meatless meals.
E. I add fresh fruit or an expensive vegetable to a meal with less expensive ingredients.
F. I do not fill up on carbs.
G. No energy drinks, flavored waters, fancy lattes, soda is 2x a year. I drink coffee , tea and tap or bottled water because it easier as I keep it in my car. No need to worry about going thirsty.
H. If someone offers me something I take it and thank them.
I. I share what I can not use.
J. My meals are creative.
* Canned Applesauce instead of oil and eggs when baking..
* Meat cooked with fruit. Cooked fruit makes a sauce.
* Fruit no sugar added to make a fruit spread.
* Try new foods now and then.
* Sign up for senior low income specials such as food stamps, $50 farm share
I'm with you on the rice, it never turned out for me either...until I found a 'hack' on a cooking show; cook the rice as you would pasta. Boil in water until it's to your liking, then drain. Perfect rice every time.
Thank you Jill!
Miss Robin you my dear are an inspiration to all! ❤
Thank you Shelby! So kind of you to say.
Good morning. What an inspiration you are to do more with less. Your sister was definitely a blessing and you were helping her also. Have a blessed day.
Thank you so much!
Sister blessings are the best! I lost my sister in August 2022. She was always so good to me.
I am so sorry for your loss. God Blessed you with a good sister. So wonderful!
I am fortunate to be able to get a monthly Senior Box from state program. Fresh veggies, frozen chicken, cheese, multiple cans of veggies, beans, fruit, cereal, fresh bread plus more. It is beyond fantastic.😊
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing your blessing with us.
Good morning Robin, yes what s blessing you received. You are doing great on the challenge ❤
Thanks so much Linda!
😊
Women need your help to manage their meals, and enjoy -protect, also-their family...Good and Precious Job !!!!❤
You are so kind.
what a nice blessing!
😊 blessings on your home...❤
You are so kind. Thank you Susan!
Your sister really hooked you up with that awesome blessing ❤
I think so too!
I think you did an excellent job.
Most people don't even try to reduce their costs, which they should. Making it a game is fun
Thank you Kathryn! We need to try and making it a game makes it fun.
You have lots left over! Great!
Yes I did thanks!
WOW you did receive a blessing as well as fantastic prices !
I figured out the price of the hamburger you purchased 80 ounces at a cost of $14.95 .
A 3 ounce portion would be $.55. And, you would have almost 27 portions at 3 ounces WOW😮 IS RIGHT ! Good for you !
Yes indeed Jill! Thank you so very much!
Wowza I'd be making brie en croûte pronto uno !
What a blessing all around. So nice of your sister. ❤
Thank you Mulligan! Great idea. Hope you’re well.
@@simplefoodsimplelife9632 Doing OK, gonna be 102 today. Naturally I'm baking sausage bread with prosciutto later LOL
@@jakematic You are a glutton for punishment. Glad you’re doing ok.
Of course you are. Just like I am canning cherries. Over 90 degrees and no air. We just carry on doing what needs a to be done.
@@azgardenlover370 So so true. No air here either. Wish I could post a picture that sums up what we both said. I'd rather go to bed exhausted and fulfilled than empty and wasted.
Another Woo Hoo Wednesday for me being able to watch your video! 🥳 I love blessing hauls! That was so sweet of your sister. My sister and I do that as well. 💗
Thank you Tracy! So kind of you. Tell your sister hello from me!
You’re so silly!! I love it!!
I just love your laugh!
Good morning Robin! Fun budget breakfast to try is Cornmeal Porridge. It’s yummy!
Good morning! Thanks for the tip Dana!
We've been eating our food storage down...I am starting the replenishing phase now...if I use a can of tuna, I replace it the next time I shop so our supply maintains vs increasing, unless I find some good bargains, then I'll do a stock-up vs a restock. Whenever I go looking for food bargains I think of you b/c you referred to that as 'foraging for food'...and it's the truth..remember Euell Gibbons, the food forager? He foraged in the wild...we forage in the stores, and that can be a wild in the wild times we live in...lol.
I do remember Euell Gibbons. Stalking the Wild Asparagus. Wild times we live in…I agree. Love ya!
I wish I was your neighbor so I could share fresh organic food from my garden ❤ I live in zone 10B at the beach and my boysenberries are my favs 😊
So nice of you
Girl you are stocked!! What a blessing from your sister
Yes I am! Thanks a bunch Pam!
You have so much food now. Perhaps you can add mire to your pantry or just save towards upcoming weeks. Great❤

Great work!!! I looked at a dozen eggs large in my area this morning and they were $3.59 but they offered a $0.50 digital coupon on them. I passed.
Blessings are wonderful. I love Miracle Whip, and I am completely out.
Indeed they are Judi!
Awesome job!!!!!
Thanks!!

Would you be in Iowa? I lived in Iowa from 1981-1986. That was the only place I new that had Far way and HiVee grocery stores.
Yes. HyVee has expanded to Illinois and other areas.
It actually looks like a lot of food. It seems you are missing fresh veg and fruit.
You must have missed it. That’s why I went to Jewel for produce. I got some nice buys. Just right for me. Thanks for being here.
Man you did excellent especially on meat.. I can do it too..
You can do it!
So you didn’t have any pantry items at all like flour, sugar, spices oil left? Canned Veggies or fruit ?
Yes I did. Doesn’t everyone? I can see from your numerous comments that you don’t play well with others. I am on the verge of ejecting you from the game for bad sportsmanship. One more and you are out!
