My dad taught me the same thing. Funny story though. He called me once (when I was married to my first wife) and asked if we liked Tunafish. I said that my wife did. Little did I know that Kroger in Toledo had it on sale $0.19/can when it was usually $1.09. They were marketing the whole tuna noodle casserole thing.) The next time he came to visit he had two brown grocery bags of cans of tuna fish. I think it was like 40 cans, enough to last 20 years. Lol.

That Italian sausage deal?! Wow!! I personally used to buy bulk, coupon everything and watch sales cycles but since the kids moved out and we travel fulltime in a little camper now, I've had to change things up. Now I cook fresh often for saving and health, freeze what I can fit in my tiny freezer, shop clearance and chase Aldi's when we're near one combined with Dollar Tree and Dollar General and supplement with clearance canned food. We save a ton, eat only two meals a day, live frugally and have lost weight!😊

When you are at Costco, ask the clothing workers what tables are the "clearance" tables for men and women. When the quantity of an item gets low, that item gets moved to a certain table. If items do not sell well, they go to that table so we can get rid of them. Some days you will luck up and find really great deals on clothing if you keep checking those tables.

I'm in NS, Canada so Sobeys is my go-to store. The employees have gotten use to my "clearance scans" and joke that I'm there to clean the store for them. Just yesterday the organic GF bread was on sale for $1.99 so I picked up 4 loaves for myself and then tracked down a stranger in the store because I had earlier, overheard him talking about celiac-friendly shopping being too expensive. He bought 6 loaves for his family.

That was such a nice thing to do. I love helping out others like that, and also loved it when someone once did the same for me!

This is how I shopped for many a moon. When the family all lived at home, people did not believe me when they heard what I spent. I'm now 74, hubby has passed and my sister lives with me. We do even better because we do lighter meals most of the time. I still buy and stock my freezer and pantry. We usually only get to a store maybe once a month for major stuff and maybe once a month for bread and milk. I've just found your channel through Dawn. The one thing I did do way back when was only buy when food was on sale. I knew almost to the day when something went on sale, I stocked up and it would last until the next time it went on sale. I don't think I ever paid full price for my staples etc. It can be done and is well worth the effort.

The “when you buy 5 or more” isn’t limited to just one item. So you can buy 5 different things as long as they’re all part of the “buy 5” promo. So if you didn’t need 5 bags of tortillas, you can find something else in the promo to make the 5. I love Fred Meyer and their sales and markdowns! It’s where we buy cheese when it’s 1.49/pack and that sale rotates constantly!

When I first moved out on my own, pasta was ~.75$ a box. And they had coupons out for 1$ off two. Got as many of those coupons as I could. Had around 40 boxes of it, which sounds crazy, but I could add a can of mixed veg from aldi and feed two for the entire day for less than a dollar.

Brings me back to when Dad used to get whatever meat he could on clearance or with coupons at a normal grocery store. But he'd also buy large chunks of meat at Cash and Carry, now I think its named the Chef Store, then cut them into steaks, roasts ect and wrap them in freezer paper. Saved a lot that way. I actually got myself a $40 brisket that came to $3/lb just a couple weeks ago and cut it into pieces for tacos, Korean BBQ, American BBQ, Brisket Chili, Brisket Ragu.... Check out your local restaurant supply stores.. . Get dish soap by the gallon or a pack of fifty rolls of tp or a whole huge stack of paper plates without needing to buy a membership =P

i've been burned a few times with clearance meat that smelled funny and I just trew in the garbage, so no thanks ! In montreal (canada),we have a law for product that dont scan the listed price. If it's under 10$, it's free. if it's over 10$, they adjust the price and reduce 10$ of that amount. Of course there are exceptions and the free item only apply to one product if you bought more. But still, it's a pretty good law that protect us from shop not doing their job !

I live in UK, but ever since I saw one of your videos (years ago) I started buying yellow labels food (the discounted food). And it made so much difference in my budget. It also completely changed the way I cook. I even meal plan now. So huge thanks to you, girlfriend!

I told my kids we were only going shopping once in June unless we needed something small! And we did! We have only gone once and we went on a Saturday morning to krogers and there were so many deals on meat we didn't even go out of town! We have stir fry kits at my store and those go on clearance a lot! And I love them so it helps! And you can freeze them and they work great! I have a whole stir fry in our freezer right now just waiting on my boys to come home!

I used to do that a lot too, the stir fry kits are such a bargain on clearance. I'd go through the produce section and glance at expiration dates and stock levels and go back the day or 2 before they expire, knowing full well they would mark them down and snatch them up and freeze them. I do the veggie trays a lot too, it gets you a variety when you might need only a small number of various ones and buying a whole seperate pack of cherry tomatoes, sugar snap peas, celery, mini peppers etc adds up more if you cant use it all up but still want a variety. I'd get whatever juice or lemonade that was marked down for my kid because he'd go through so much. I'd probably still do it if I had a car but I no longer drive so its harder to keep up on the clearance items but I grab what I can. Recently got chorizo instead of brats for $1.29 and got 3 packs for the cost of one pack of brats so it doesn't hurt to be flexible and check clearance.

For Fred Meyer / Kroger you don't have to buy 5 of the same item most of the time. There's usually a list of various items and you can mix and match the 5 items.

I'm 60 and I will tell you you have taught me the best tips on saving money. I just explained to my sister about shopping the perimeter of the store. Thank you.

One thing I've done for years is: when hamburger goes on sale, I buy a lot and cook it up with chopped onions. No seasonings. Freeze it in quart bags. Takes less space than uncooked meat, thaws quickly for fast meals, like spaghetti and Mexican pizzas, etc.

Thank you for this video. My husband's school just canceled part of his scholarship last week. He has one more year left and we are determine to not pull from our long-term savings. Our budget is super tight and I need to get our groceries down by $100 per month 😬 Definitely trying these tips!

Meijer does the same deal with the same rules. You can mix and match the buy 5 save $5.

Due to physician's advice because of health concerns, I started eating a whole foods plant based diet in January. This is basically vegan without any junk food, so legumes, veggies, fruits, whole grains, nuts and seeds. And it has drastically cut my grocery bill week to week. We're a family of 3 in VT, and we're getting away with a weekly grocery bill of around 150, so 600 a month? It was around 250 before, so we cut our monthly budget 400. I'm certainly not advocating this for everybody: we're not ethical vegans so I'm not trying to convert people here lol, but I can say it's helped us a lot and I'm reversing my metabolic syndrome, as well as keeping us very full and with a lot of energy. I have always shopped with coupons, sales and clearance items, and I've always shopped the pantry and utilized leftovers for recipes, cooking as much from scratch as possible. My mom taught me those skills and they are well worth doing week to week. Anyway, the TLDR is it wasn't as hard as it seemed like it was going to be, and it lets us save for our goals instead of it all going to be food.

Sniffing the berries is my best tip to finding strawberries that taste good! 😂

I shop this way and it really saves you money in the end. My problem is I have ran out of freezer space for all of the meat I buy on sale. Lol. I need to do a freezer clean out like you do!

You’ve definitely wised me up on shopping for specials. I only buy things when they are half price - detergent, coffee pods, olive oil, toiletries (and buy 2 or more of them). I buy generic brand sugar, flour, foil, food wrap, serviettes. I really enjoy your food haul vlogs, comparing/converting prices into Aussie 🇦🇺dollhairs! 😊

Oh my those deals are unheard of here in Australia... 2 pounds of cheapest cheese here is $14 and never goes on sale and lowest quality 1kg ground beef is $12! I always shop the clearance and marked down to save $...also team nectarine here 🙌

I shopped like this when we had kids at home. It saved us alot of money over time! Now that there's just 2 of us, I tend to shop on a budget bi-weekly and I set aside so much of that budget for deals or stock up pantry items. We generally spend $120 every 2 weeks and I set aside $30 for extra bargains, specials or pantry " stock up" items. If I am fortunate and stay under budget, we will treat ourself to eating out one meal. Thanks for the Awesome Video!❤

I make a list in my Dillons app based on sales and coupons so my grocery shopping sometimes looks a little crazy because it's random items but I end up building up the items needed to make various meals over time. I also stick to my list in the app unless I find a good deal on something in the store that I didn't see advertised on the app. I usually save 30%-60%. But I've found for beef, I go in with my parents and sister to buy a quarter beef from a local ranch. We save hundreds on beef doing this. We each have a chest freezer that we load up a few times a year. Since I can't grill in my apt, I partially grill some of my normal steaks or grill up chicken or pork at my parents' house and then vacuum seal it and pop it in the deep freeze to make quick and easy meals, especially in the summer when I don't want to heat up my apt because it's 105* out.

It would be super cool to see you make a video for people who don't have tons of food storage space! I live in a city and my fridge is tiny and there's very minimal pantry space

The boxed dry red like that are good to keep in the pantry for cooking when you need it. It doesn’t matter if it gets passé bc it’s for cooking and it can sit on a higher shelf and you just reach in and pour however much you need

I've always used coupons, but now I've learned to do digital coupons! This Grandma has game....LOL LOL My husband has learned to check the sale shelves and he's always so happy when he finds things we use marked WAY down. You are very inspiring and I'm trying to use your tips. Thank you!!

Genuinely the hardest part for us is storage as we live in a tiny bungalow. We have one small fridge and no freezer (there is physically no space for one). We also have only three kitchen cupboards for food. We still shop sales which I grew up doing so no challenge there, and I rotate through our favourite/common products and buy a couple of them when they are on sale if they are shelf stable.

Try some “outside the kitchen” storage. Stow shelf stable items under the beds, in the hall closet. In a chest you use as a coffee table. Rolling drawers you keep under the kitchen table. Put shelves a foot from the ceiling around the rooms, stow stuff up there. Your freezer doesn’t have to be in or even near the kitchen, it could even be on a back porch.

Breakfast for dinner is the BEST...especially when you're fresh out of ideas when meal planning. What do you want on Thursday? How about breakfast for dinner? YES!

Yes, you can freeze hard cheese, but just be ready for it to be crumbly upon thawing, and not easy to slice. I still do it, but use it differently upon thawing.

I live in MA and shop mostly at Stop & Shop and Shaw's. I think that Shaw's was recently bought out by Kroegers. I usually shop the sales at both stores. Last week I was lazy and only hit S&S. I did, however, save $100. on a $300. order. What also helps me is a little time consuming but very helpful to me. I sit at the table with my computer, go through the ads and make a list of the sale items, being sure to put them in the order of the store. This way I'm able to shop more quicikly, going from one item to the next, and not getting tempted by other items in between. I really enjoyed this video, thank you!

I live in MA too! I work for Shaws but I prefer doing the bulk of my shopping at stop and shop. I do, however, buy clearance stuff from the different shaws stores I go to. My stop and shop has great clearance and reduced produce as well.

Thank you for the video!!😊

you're amazing! love your videos!!

I live in a heavily populated area and we almost never get clearance items. Once in awhile you can see rolls or bakery items but it’s so rare. Shopping the sales and going to more than one store works best in our more urban area.

I live in Media Pennsylvania USA. Right outside of Philadelphia. I shop at Acme, ShopRite, Giant and Aldi. Acme and Giant are expensive but they have great sales. Love your videos!

Great video. Just an FYI the buy 5 or more usually doesn't have to be the same item but part of the same buy 5 or more sale. That's a great trick gott saving even more. Happy shopping

Hey Christine, I'm in Florida for a few weeks and utilize a store called Publix. They are probably the Texas Randall's or Tom Thumbs equivalent. I was amazed at how much pricier they are compared to Kroger and not to mention Aldi! Pricing is insane. Shoping clearance is an absolute must!!

Definitely the most expensive store in our area but if u need ready-made stuff, they have the best deli/platters.

I watch you from England and we don't have the kind of deals or coupons as you do. Our deals are not as good but the food is cheaper and we don't have to add tax as it's already included in the price. I have always done like you stock up when it's cheap spend less in the long term. Love your recipes. Don't have all the things you have but just swap items. Love watching you & your family.

Definitely peaches! And requesting again, please do a gluten-free budget week :)

I never find anything I actually need on clearance, it's always random junk. I don't eat wheat, dairy, sugar, pork, processed foods, but that's not the point of her videos, it's just about whatever is cheapest. I also have to be careful with "gluten-free" foods because it's usually bioengineered corn, soy and other junk in the ingredient list.

Own It And Rock It, Be Owning It And Rocking It,😎

Amazing! I do the exact same! I never pay full price. It’s just common sense now a days. It just takes time but ABSOLUTELY worth it!
