Glad you have something.

Hi Prepper Princess. Here is a suggestion. Volunteer at a local food pantry. They need the help. Also, when you volunteer, the volunteers get food boxes left over from what is not given away from that day. Yes, even community food pantries have food waste, and giving to volunteers is a great way to rescue food that is not picked up by those in need. I know you have enormous assets and investments, but rescuing food after you volunteer is a great way to fill your pantry and freezer and save food, especially the perishable food, not given away that day.

I usually cook more than one meal at a time. They aren’t leftovers, they are planned-overs.

A savings tip: cut the potatoes and carrots smaller, they cook faster. Also you only need to barely cover them with water, if that. Use a tight fitting lid and they will partially steam. Saves you money.

White beans are very very high in potassium, much higher than bananas. Dried white beans are extremely cheap and because they are high in potassium will help you stay healthy and not need a doctor as much. Just a frugal tip.

A store had chicken breasts for $1.49/lb this week. I bought 10 lbs. Buying the loss leaders is only way we are gonna make it.

In Russia, we usually peel carrots and potatoes. We remove the skin from carrots and potatoes. Mashed potatoes taste better if you mashed potato them not with a mixer but with a wooden mortar and pestle. This way you can save electricity. We don't skimp on food. But we're Russian. And Russians love good food.

I peel my carrots. Most people I know do. Either way for potatoes but I usually peel them.

Steak…$4.98/lb. Potatoes…$1.38/lb. Carrots…$.68/lb. Watching Prepper Princess demonstrate her karate moves to kill the flies…priceless

Flies hate lavender in every form. I use a spray around my windows and have planted some under every window I could. Hang dried lavender in cloth bags around doors and windows.

Tip: use 1/2 the Stove Top season packet instead of the entire packet for less salt. Save the other 1/2 of the packet to season homemade gravy.

Over the past couple of years the Stove Top no longer comes with the season pack separately. It’s all mixed together now in the boxes, which I do not like, because the dehydrated celery doesn’t reconstitute well enough without bringing the water and seasoning packet to a boil according to the old packaging and directions before adding in the stuffing cubes. I wish Stove Top would go back to the old version. 😬

i wonder if you could have made the mash potatoes hobo style, wrapped the diced potatoes in foil and stick in the fire before cooking the steak so it has time to cook through 🤔. If you have a canister vac and don’t mind keeping it on, you could just use the hose part to suck the flies mid-air. They get caught in the vortex.

Our grocery budget is 239-440 a month for a family of two adults and three teens, BUT there are things that make this possible that I know others don’t have access to. We garden, I have access to a clearance grocery, I buy staples in bulk, and, most importantly, I schedule hours each day and week baking and cooking from scratch. I don’t buy anything pre-made except occasionally tortilla chips and crackers, sometimes pasta and tortillas. If I worked outside our home there is no way I could do all of that. I really feel for folks who don’t have any of those options. I’m astounded by the increase in prices, even over the past year. I’m learning to make tofu and tempeh because the price on both has increased about 30% since last year.

I'm not using a ton of gas going back and forth to work or adding wear and tear to our car. So, I feel like it actually saves us money. It all balances out.

Pepper princess you can make a meat loaf out of the stove top stuffing. The recipe is usually on the back of the chicken box. 2lbs ground beef; 1pkg (6oz stove top); 1C water; 2eggs, 1/2 C BBQ sauce. Sweet BBQ sauce works best. Mix all in bowl BUT only use half the BBQ sauce in the loaf (other 1/2 goes on top of meat loaf) use 9x13 baking dish bake about 70-75min at 375 degrees. Does not use that many ingredients and ones it does use are things a lot of people have on hand!

To cut gas use smallest pots possible boil then turn off let cook on residual heat. If you see a stove top 3 tier steamer you can cook all at same time saves gas

You might want to look into an instant pot if you can find it on a black Friday sale. They barely use any electric and you can cook your vegetables in there and avoid using gas.

I sold my house in Sacramento CA and bought a 1942 bungalow with good bones in the University district in Reno NV. My property taxes are $770/yr and no state income tax. This move has saved me about 10-12K annually in state income tax and property tax. In NV, your property tax value is based on the value the year the house was built, then cannot increase more than 3% per yr for owner occupied homes. You just need to fill out and submit an owner occupancy affidavit and send it to the Assessor's office. My homeowners insurance is $600/yr, and my State Farm auto insurance policy for my campervan which is classified as a motorhome (must have a bed, kitchen, and shower) is 1/2 of what the premium would be for a personal use vehicle.

We are retiring in July of next year. I am doing what I can to prepare us. We are trying to get into the groove of mostly cooking at home. I love the idea someone gave of cooking three meals and freezing one and at the end of the month they don’t have to cook for a week. We will have two lean years until our social security kicks in and then we will have enough with the ability to do some trips. I’ve been buying in bulk at Sam’s when it is cheaper to do so. We are slowly stopping eating out. Most fast food is through the roof even at restaurants like Taco Bell. I’ve only been getting a four piece cheese sticks when hungry when out and I bring a homemade coffee or matcha drink to go with it. Retirement is such a challenging, frightening, but joyful time. We are learning as we go.

Wood fired steaks- sweet. Why someone in the comments said this is a sad way to live... uhm nope. smh. I'll take steak any day. Depression era food- that was a bit sad, but at the same time they made lots of casseroles and tbh I still make some caserole style food today to freeze and eat through many weeks. Shepard's pie is yummy and I make it with what's on sale. People who say frugal living in America is sad have never seen kids in other countries eat trash right from the literal town dump and get high on glue to forget they are starving.

I've been cutting all my meat down too 2ozs. Per meal and making more soups and stews using grounded meats for casseroles.

Now I can make and freeze egg rolls,breakfast burritos and hand pies.

FREE TIP: I boil potatoes and carrots together, it saves energy and if you want to mash them seperately, you can simply separate them at the end... AND, if I have fresh beans, i throw them in a little later when the potatoes are nearly done. Regards from cold Canada. ;o)

Yep....very cold Canada.

Save a bit more money on gas by making sure the flame is not outside the circumference of your pot. This cooks inefficiently as the heat goes up the sides of the pot and heats the air around the stove, not the food. The flame should be adjusted so that it is heating the bottom of the pot, about 1cm in to the base. You can save 40% energy on average by doing this and the food does cook faster too. Another tip for gas stoves is to use heavy based pots. They are designed to hold heat in the base so you can turn off the heat when the food is almost done and the retained heat in the base does the rest. Always use a lid when boiling too to maximise cooking and shorten time. Saves the kitchen getting steamed up too. I had a gas stove and this is the recommendation that was issued from our gas supplier. I got the other tips from my friend who is a qualified commis chef. I have an induction hob now and its way more efficient than gas too, and you can get little countertop ones too. Solar works great with them. For cooking on the pit outside you can steam those veggies in a Dutch oven with a basket inside it. It's very common in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean countries to cook and bake everything on a fire.

I have to give credit to this channel for teaching me how to portion out food in an easy and doable way. I have put a note on my fridge to remind me to not mindlessly eat whole packages, but to decide the portion first.

Hi Prepper, love your channel! A fly issue could be due to a dead rodent in the basement, walls or attic. I own a 150 year old home, and they do get in. Whenever we see lots of flies, 20+, it's most likely due to something has died in the house, unfortunately.

You did well on your meat price. My husband and I opted for a 6’ chest freezer at $48 per year in energy cost. And I recently purchased 1/4 cow, and 1/2 hog for 2024. I really can’t beat the price compared to the nothing special supermarket nearby. We have plans to pick up a few chickens as well.

There's nothing more satisfying than portioning up a well planned meal batch for another day(s). :)

There's only the two of us. I started cutting up our meat, whatever it may be, and either combine it with whatever the side is or spread it out on a plate. It's really made my fella cut back on the amount of meat he's eating and he's not complaining. We're eating more beans, more salads, and more soups then ever, but we're grateful that we can still eat without worrying about where the next meal will come from. I just came across your channel, and I'm a new subscriber. Thank you

Your meals always look amazing! I've never once made a recipe of yours and have been disappointed. Many of them are staple meals in our family now. Thank you for sharing them! We have saved so much money learning from you and your book.

Oh I love cooking on wood like that. Growing up when we would cook in the fire pit momma would slice potatoes up and add onions and bacon and butter and put it on tinfoil and the wrap the tinfoil in another layer of tinfoil then put that in the bottom of to fire pit and have them slowly cook the put the meat on the rack and cook it. So yummy that way.

I recommend sticky fly papers and sticky window strips. We get a lot of flys when they harvest. They catch a lot and are cheap.

To stretch dairy on mashed potatoes I reserve some of the starchy potato water after boiling and use it with butter and salt to cream potatoes. It still tastes really good.

We hit the farmers market near closing. The venders dont want to bring anything jome and practically gove ot away

I just got a great deal on thriftiness today, two pair of pants for six dollars score.

Just a tip... You should mix your potatoes in a plastic bowl if you're going to use a hand held mixer. The mixer will ruin the finish on your pot. I found out the hard way....LOL

Everything is going up but our paychecks

Another channel I watch shops at Aldi often and has done several videos about their prices. She did a video this week where she went back to a 2 year old video where she talked about the price increases at that time and compared to current prices. The price increase was over 60%. I've found their prices are about the same as Kroger regular prices on many items now.

LOVE your videos, and yes, a big difference between wanting to save money and HAVING to. Your videos are informative. But gotta say, Rocky and Nala have my heart

Do not throw that potato water down the sink. Store it in the fridge or freezer use it as the water base for soup. Always save the water from canned food or cooked food. Mend the cord. Just sayen.

I’m in Australia and I know spring/summer is heating up when the flies start. My favourite way of dealing with them is the vacuum. It’s getting really expensive here too. Prices have started going up again in the last fortnight. Your meals look great PP. Simple and delicious. Well done.

To reduce your fuel consumption on boiling potatoes, threw a little salt in the water. As soon as the water starts boiling with your potatoes, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat under the pot. It's a little of chemistry, covering the boiling water will increase the pressure which will increase the temperature of the water - faster cooking time of the potatoes. And adding salt to boiling water will increase the temperature of the boiling water.

Do you have any potting soil in your house? It's a breeding ground for the flies. I learned this the hard way once.

You can use the cream of mushroom soup mixed with canned green beans and top with stouffers stuffing to make a green bean casserole. Yes it may pack a sodium punch but if portioned out as a side with protein it may not be that bad.

Steak looked great! Yes, it seems everyone is experiencing the pain of food prices continuing to rise.

In my community, a non-profit opened up that saves me a fortune. Street-kids-in-cook's training use food collected from the big grocery stores that doesn't get sold (would normally go to the dumpster). They make a fresh hot entree every day and have a variety of stews, pastas, hearty soups and curries, which they vary each week. A frozen container is good for 2 meals and costs $4,50. in Vancouver BC which is the most expensive city in Canada. Sometimes I doctor it up with some extra veg sometimes not. So the food doesn't go to waste, the kids get training and jobs, and I get lots of inexpensive and delicious meals. I buy a weeks worth at a time. These should be in everybodys community!

Hmmm. What I have done, for my health is 36/12 fasting. I fast for 36 hours and eat in a twelve hour window. So basically, I am eating every other day. Start my fast at 8pm, don't eat the next day and then break my fast at 8 the following morning. My diet looks a lot like yours except in my 12 hour window, I break my fast with a spinach omelet. No cream in coffee on fast days....will also cut your use of cream. My aches are more manageable and I am losing weight. My grocery bill is very manageable. On my fasting days I drink a tea made with 2 tablespoons tumeric/1 tablespoon ginger/and 1 teaspoon each cinnamon and black pepper simmered in 8 cups of water. I drink it hot or over ice.
