I also share food cooking and storing tips, and meal planning ideas! The site I mention that I use for shopping is http://funcheaporfree.com/D2M.

Milk costs $7 in my town. 😫

MormonBro says:

So refreshing to see someone who’s doing well who isn’t a grocery store snob. Love your content! Thank you!

Jennifer Ouellette says:

$1.49 for a gallon of milk!!???? Well just north of you in Canada the cheapest one gallon milk…(4 litres) is approx $4.75 . And just goes up from there depending on which province! I used to pay $8 per jug in Nova Scotia!!!

Tatiana Kuzmin says:

Blending milk or heavy cream that's been frozen for a few seconds will make it turn to it's pre frozen condition.

Sarah Daniel says:

I love that your honest about impulse buy and how you snack in the store.

P. Clark says:

We pay so much more for groceries in Canada… 😭

tiny tim fan gurl says:

It is really stressing me out that her cold groceries are sitting out getting warm 😭 I won’t even let my boyfriend search for a specific song on Spotify before leaving the store if there’s cold stuff in the car 😂

TheKayleeanna says:

$3300 per month in FL is WAAAAYYYY too much money! They could easily bring that down to $1000 or $1200 maximum.

Elida Acosta says:

Can I do $100 per person if it’s myself and a baby? Or should I still start on $300 👀

A. L.L. says:

Wow, thats a lot of food. Theres no way i could afford one of those items on the table. I'm living on beans and rice, sometimes romen noodles. Lol. My health is awful. My food allowance is $70 a month.

T Rex says:

I might try some chocolate eggs😋

Haylee Mitchell says:

There are alternative methods to coupons, but they're not a bad thing. I don't know why you "don't believe in them" but to each their own 🙂

TAJA WRIGHT says:

Couldn't help but get upset seeing all the beef up there and cheese omg. Otherwise Love this video kudos mom, I too Am a mom of six😁😁

peacingout008 says:

I dont clip coupons either but I wonder what her reasoning is…

Frances Quezada says:

where do you live bc florida ain't that cheap 😪

Cidalia Martins says:

The Walmarts in Canada are in reverse. A basic Walmart will have no fresh food, no meats, no bakery, etc. They’re focused on non-food items. Super Walmarts, on the other hand, have a massive supermarket/food area. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cassidy Dorinda says:

Ive noticed by just writing down meal we want for the week, look thru our fridge and pantry for what we have. And then make a list of stuff to go with it. We buy extras on weeks we have extra money, canned veggies, sauce, rice, etc.

V L says:

I hate coupons too!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Susan Rollet says:

I saw this video at least a year ago and it still applies now.

Studio Julie Snow says:

If you use Google calendar, you would love Google Keep for digital lists, you can even sync them to coordinate with your calendar events, it's awesome!!

Kara Gill says:

Milk is $5 here in Canada! Just crazy how much we pay for food here

Pamela Carney says:

yes konmari the kitchen series on netflix!!! Sounds amazing😎

casey zingraf says:

I would love to see all the food you make out of a one week shopping budget. That'd be cool to see what meals these groceries produce. Great video!

Gratitude Ranch says:

Before I had my reaction and became allergic to everything those chocolate eggs were MY FAVORITES IN THE WORLD!!!! Man I miss them! And I would crack the shell and just suck on them and let them dissolve. Nom nom nom.

Aubergines/Eggplant- just teenagers/young adults using phallic symbols.

And is the D2M site still working been trying for like 10 minutes?

Gratitude Ranch says:

Just saw today their website says they’ll only match one item per customer per day for price match.

Gratitude Ranch says:

My husband gets paid write a month. So we go shopping about 2x- (technically 4) I count them in sets. Costco and Walmart. We also sometimes do amazon for non perishables. But I price it all out per weight.

I also have an excel spread sheet that compares each of these, including Fred Meyers (we tried winco but it was soooo much more expensive and worse quality) for the price for each thing so when we’re at said store we can compare at other places so if there’s a sale we get what’s cheapest.

And we’re 5 people- lots of food allergies 🤦🏼‍♀️ and so we eat $6-700/month. ($300-$350 per pay period). Depends on if we’re out of bulk or big things we eat rarely. And my kids are young but my daughter will seriously eat 3x me and she’s under weight!

We also call it consumables! 😇

C Fab says:

Why do u not believe in coupons ?

Jessica Smith says:

I just visited the meals to deals website and unfortunately I can't use it due to the site not being secure with personal information such as credit cards . Thanks again for the tip though and I'll continue to do my best with grocery shopping.

reidhayley says:

I wish I could meal plan! my 4.5 year old twins are fussy and I really struggle (probably impossible) to find a week worth of meals the whole family will eat 😭😭

Kinsley Harcrow says:

My family of 5 is guilty of about 1,200 a month… about 300 per month and most of it is wasted
