🍝 Let me help you get dinner on the table with my meal planning class! https://www.jenchapin.net/offers/wCurVzKM/checkout
Darn girl, your hair looks fantastic!
I’m a family of 5 trying to make it on $160 a week and it’s TOUGH
About a year ago when I saw food prices starting to go up, I systematically started going through my grocery budget changing the way I meal planned, shopped, cooked and stored food. It cut my grocery by 35%. Eliminate drinks (except milk, coffee and water), changed our water to a delivery service (was a break even but it kept me out of the grocery store), started making our own bread products with sourdough (honestly once you get in a routine it is very little hands on effort), make everything from scratch (stop buying convenience foods), make your own yogurt, focus on zero waste (using freezer and dehydrator), stop buying the snack food variety (focus on fruits, crackers, and leftovers), created a pantry/food storage with ingredients in most of my recipes – bulk buy these ingredients as they go on sale, grind my own meats (its half the price), buy in season, moved the paper towels out of the kitchen (I buy a roll a week instead of 3-4), do order pick ups (stops the impulse buying), know when your grocery store does mark downs, and above all be creative! I cost certain scratch food before I make them.. for instance pizza sauce and/or pasta sauce.. I take into consideration the ingredients and even the cost of the lid to can it. I know my price points so when canned whole tomatoes I will pick up as many as my budget will allow.. when I have enough to fill my roaster, I made pizza sauce and pasta sauce. My next project is salsa.. It also helps to have a grocery buddy to let you know when they see deals. My sister and I often team up on canning projects and we share in the abundant hauls of clearance items. I work out of the house about 45-55 hours a week so meal planning has always been important.
A "low cost" average is $250?! Sheesh. We spend about $100-$125/week for my family of 3.
Loved your video! I agree on store brand vs name brand. I use store brand, but there are some items I prefer name brand. Love the advice am tips you give on here!❤
Usually spend about 150-200 a week for a family of 4. We also do walmart pick up mostly for convenience, but it also helps me stay on budget. Also, everytime I'd try to pay for delivery, no one would show up and I'd end up on the phone with them only for them to tell me that the delivery people are vendors, so it's out of their hands. 🫤
I shop the Manager’s Specials. I work 2-8 and around 7 at night the manager goes around and cuts the prices on items that are expiring in a day or so by 30% so I get organic chicken pieces or steaks or deli meat, whatever I find, at 30% off. It is a yellow label. I bought some organic boneless skinless chicken breast for $6 instead of $10 and I came home and put it in the air fryer so my hubby had something for lunch the next day.
Meal plan seasonally! Using what’s produce that’s in season rather than just buying in general
The way I stay in budget is to shop clearance items. If I see 6 packs of Impossible plant-based meat (I'm vegetarian) I will buy all 6. I never pay full price for certain items. If it's not on clearance, I don't buy it. I also do not buy drinks like juice or soda. They've gotten stupid expensive, they aren't good for you, and I'd rather spend my budget on food!
My main strategies are: mealplan based on sales, shop with a list, buy generic and tweek recepies so you don't have to buy that fancy item you'll never use again.
Walmart InHome is a game changer if they offer it where you are!
I shop only the sales and turn leftovers into other meals
Thank you for this video. We are on food assistance and went through shock lately! We used to get extra money for Covid assistance? And our monthly amount went from $1000 to $200! We are a family of 6. I will Admit, we did not need the $1000 but, $200 a month is not enough. So now, I need To be creative with food purchases.
I think it's a good idea to check the ethnic aisle for some staples like pasta, beans and tomato sauce. Often, it's less expensive.
Stock up on sale items, every week there are different items. Do your stock piling and eat from your pantry. Saves you a ton of money
Thanks for showing national weekly stats…so interesting. Would love a price compare on main weekly items…Costco vs Walmart (no Aldi) near me
apples bananas milk eggs chicken breast ground beef orange juice romaine lettuce carrots cucumber. Interesting bit about making cookies.
Great video. One thing that I have started after reading a post regarding less waste is using the vegetable scraps in a plastic bag in the freezer. When it is about 3 lbs you just put it in a big pot, cover in water and let it simmer down to a small amount, strain it and you have some great vegetable broth!
Family of 6 in ireland and roughly 250euro a week. That inludes toiletries and cleaning supplies.
This was a great video and very helpful thank you Jen ❤

Take cooler and cold bags in car and I make a loop for my5 stores near me. That is less than a 7 mile loop. I also have a farmer's market in the loop, so you can say 6 stores very close by.
Excellent video Jen!! Kudos!!!
Packaged chocolate chis cookies will never match a homemade one and if you can find a good one, like bakery type or quality, etc., you will likely only get a dozen for the same money or more and still generally not as good. Yeah Chips Ahoy and some things like that are commonly cheaper nowadays than years ago but they aren't a home baked cookie or all that great, never were imo. Baking 3 dozen cookies is still way cheaper and better BUT if one is adding candies and M&Ms and Hershey's kisses or Andes mints or macadamia nuts, and some other pricier ingredients, yeah, that might be a different story.
But time does matter too and such. I agree that one has to weigh several things and what is worth it to them and what their family needs, likes versus wants, etc. and the budget of the family.
Each of us would pay more for one item and scoff at the person who pays more for an item we don't consider worth it. One person's one indulgence in life might be a splurge on their favorite perfume and the next person it might be car wax or a cute pair of shoes or truffles or caviar or who knows… Some play it tight and never indulge in a thing for themselves. Others overindulge.
Dot's pretzels are good but they aren't worth $8.00 a bag. When I was younger I had a Doritos addiction but they aren't worth $5 for what is a how many ounce bag now, MEAT is cheaper, and decent meat if one pays $5 or more per pound and Doritos are that price for less than a pound.
One good tip about Aldi is to mention that when their meat nears the use by/freeze date, it’s marked 50% off. Walmart in my area doesn’t do that, they only mark it down a dollar or so. Love Aldi for giving a significant mark down to reduce waste. I just bought 6 lbs of 90/10 ground beef for $10 after the markdown. Almost did cartwheels in the meat section!🎉
A saving tip is to buy what you like. Its not cheaper to buy something cheap that you never eat.
I really wish I liked beans more. I really just don't like them a lot. 😅
Howdy from next door in Nebraska!y best tips are to shop less frequently, keep a good inventory of what you have in your pantry, fridge and freezer and finally, know your local prices for to things you buy frequently. If you know that ground chuck is usually $6/lb in your area and you see it for$3/lb, then you know to stock up. Also, know what a good sale price is for an item. Taking the ground chuck example again, if $3 is a common sale price, and you see it for $5/lb, then you know that isn't a great deal. I do realize with rising prices we've seen in the last year or so sometimes our sale prices are not what they used to be so you do have to use some of your judgment but the bottom line is if you know what an average typical prices and what a typical sale price is you can know whether what items are seeing advertised in the weekly flyer are a good deal and which ones are just listed in the flyer.
