🐔Chicken Tip: Something we learned about our chickens was that the mamas teach their babies to eat, including the scraps. So when we had chicks that mama hatched, the babies ate the scraps from just a couple of weeks old. But when we brought chicks home from the feed store, they only seemed to know how to eat the chicken scratch. They need to be taught to eat the scraps. So you put your thumb and fingers together, so it kind of looks like a beak and then peck at the scraps in front of the chickens as if your hand is a chicken head & beak eating the scraps and they will learn how to eat the scraps too.

Years and years ago when I was first married, there was the Tightwad Gazette...anyone remember her? She was a big advocate of pantry stocking. You buy food at the best prices to restock your pantry and you plan meals out of your pantry. I have not managed to get that organized. 😄 Anyway, that's what your new methods remind me of!

Your lives will certainly change when you finally make your move! There is so much you will be able to do with all of that land! I’m so excited to see the new Season of your lives on the “Farm”🙏🏻🕊✝️🌸♥️

Sarah, your grocery budget is amazing for the size of your family!! You also make good well-rounded nourishing meals for them. I watch another large family that spends much much more per week, so you are doing very well!!! Love your family!

Love the chaos and bright smiles.❤

I've gradually been stretching out the amount of times I shop per month & at the beginning of the year started using the pick up service of my local supermarket which has helped coz it means I don't physically have to go into the store where I would often impulse buy 😉 I've also reduced the amount of items I buy for stock up of pantry. Every $ saved helps 😊

I am so excited to watch your journey moving on to your property! My family is also making a move to the country and it is so inspiring to see all of the ways you make food stretch and how you intend to utilize your land. I employ some of the methods you use already, but have a running list of some other skills you’ve shown that I want to learn! Blessings to your sweet family. 💕

Great tips on saving.

You and I are in different life stages with money, amount of kids, etc BUT one thing we both do and why I love watching you is the constant switch up of trying to save and budget. I am doing couponing at multiple stores and dollar general for household supplies, changing up products, etc. just do to me having only 2 smalls that I can take to stores and have more coupon/budget time but I appreciate everybody views on how to save and I think it’s great to watch others and get different ideas. We really are all in the same boat!

Hello Sarah, great grocery haul.Stay safe and God bless.

Love the motivational grocery hauls Sarah! I’ve borrowed some great ideas!😊 Happy Sabbath ♥️

Hi Sarah I've been shopping every two weeks instead of going every week it's hard but do the grace of God I get through it I'm on a fixed income you are amazing how you budget you an inspiration to me thank you for always sharing love you guys God bless and I hope that you get to go on your trip to Kenya with the kids I'll be praying for you and the family ❤️

We used to shop every two weeks but found ourselves running to the store often for things we forgot or didn’t plan for. Then, with the birth of our 2nd child, we found ourselves very unorganized and we’re going by the store twice a week. We are going to try our very, very best to make it the whole month. We just got back from Sam’s. As you said, I’ll be glad if we can just manage to get back in budget. Thank you for the inspiration and advice!

We shop once a week and every other week is a bit more expensive as we try to stretch the budget as much as possible. Love your tips Sarah 🥰 thank you

You are really a great woman and I thank you for being sich a good person and even better mom

I love in a small rental home at the moment and have four kids. We don't have much food storage but I used to shop once a week so I decided to stretch it to ten days and it's saved us a lot! The last two days before grocery day is a little hard but doable ;)

love your family! enjoy them while they are young!

I think we all are feeling the pressure to stay in budget due to rising prices. One thing I've been doing is buying bulk items we use a lot like toilet paper and buy non bulk items we use sparingly. Prevents us from wasting gas on unnecessary trips to the stores.

Something I learned from Scandish home. When you catch a deal on onions and potatoes, individually wrap onions and potatoes in craft paper, (dollar tree, craft wrapping paper) and they last a lot longer. I keep them on the bottom pantry shelf where it’s darker. Hope this helps.

I really enjoy doing and watching grocery hauls, great video 😊

Thanks for sharing 😊

In these times of such high food prices we have to think more about how we shop. I keep a check on our regular items at different stores and when there is a good offer I buy a huge amount. It really helps to stay well stocked. I recently bought a trolley full of chicken grills which were £150 a pack of two, instead of £2.75, I often get some strange looks at the checkout but don't care as long as I'm getting 'the best bang for my buck'.

Wow, that’s impressive. I would have taken them to someone to process. Great job.

I think staying within budget is a big goal with these prices now. My friend and I are trying to do no spend months. February was pretty good and I was able to pay off all credit cards with no problem. Working with someone to hold you accountable is helpful also. I love grocery shopping so the fewer times I go in the store the better. I love your grocery hauls though and I get good ideas for my panty.

I’m early 😁 Interesting to follow along this journey! Thank you for sharing! Love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴

My husband and I had 3 children and I had a budget of 300.00 every 2 weeks because I kept my kids home and their friends came to our house and I fed them. In the summer we raised a garden and our budget really went down. Now that our children are grown, our grocery budget is really low because of our garden and I process every thing. I enjoy canning and freezing our food. I also love to buy my meat local in bulk.

No it's so nice to see you back now for your shopping I have to hold off on my shopping my refrigerator broke down so I am shopping for a refrigerator running myself you my dog and my cat anywhere you've done a wonderful job with all those beautiful children that you have any way God bless you and have a wonderful day

Also hire someone to help y'all plan out your garden spot. Maybe even save by pumping water from the pond for irrigation. So many things y'all can do and I can't wait!! Blessings y'all! Also a small to medium grow house to start seedlings and such or even a greenhouse. Not really needed but depends on your available space.

I'm on a fixed income my monthly budget is $125...so I hit pantries to get by so I'm glad very glad you & family is doing well you are very blessed

Amazing video!😊

Hi what I normally do is stock up on items when on special. The shops have different specials throughout the month and then I buy in bulk. So I hardly buy at standard price. I then put in place a top up quantity and look out for the next special price as not all special comes up on every month. For fruit and vegetables I will also buy in bulk sometime it is to much but before it goes off I will chop and freeze. It cost less then prepackaged food. Veg like carrots and cucumbers and be chopped and placed in water and put in the fridge. It will keep crisp for up to a week. Thanks for sharing your budget and what you are doing to stay on track.

Thank you for sharing! You inspired me to started doing monthly shops back in November 2022. After the holidays we actually started staying in our budget! That is huge with the inflation prices. My husband is thrilled. 😂

I live in Australia, food is a big $$ out of our budget. We spend on healthy affordable products and try to go meatless a few days. I’m saving for the uk holiday in 2024, so trying to keep to the budget. Everything is so much more to buy at the moment. But luckily, it’s just Two of us. I grew up in a family of 11, my parents were very good at budgeting, always plenty to eat and a warm home to live in, very blessed. Good luck with all your goals. Love your channel 🌻

Sarah, Love watching your videos. You and Solo are doing a great job of parenting. The transitioning to farmlife and the major changes that entails is interesting to watch. Your learning canning, breadmaking, cheesemaking, etc., has been a great motivation for others to learn those skills. As an 87 yr old farm raised girl, many of those skills I learned growing up helping my mother. Mother made cottage cheese and we made butter, but did not make cheese. You are doing g.

For the review, does it matter if we didn't get it on Amazon?

Staying within a grocery budget is extremely hard now days! we’ve been checking out our local equivalent to a sharp shopper and it has helped us stay in budget a lot.

1. Your children are getting older, so they probably will be eating more. 2. Even the official inflation rate has food up a good bit from last year, and never mind about pre-covid prices. 3. You are making more and more food from scratch and have the equipment to do it. Ergo YOU ARE DOING GREAT! I have a completely different way of shopping than you do (stopping by stores while on other errands and buying almost everything only by sales), but if this is working so that you are even remotely staying in budget, then you are achieving a lot. The important thing in my estimation is that each of us needs to develop a strategy and carry it out.

Hi from the UK! I love watching your videos, so fun and informative and your family is so sweet. I was a clip in this video showing your homemade pizza, I just know my husband would love that! Do you happen to have a video making it already on your channel? I'd love your recipe!

We shop every week and just sales that is how I plan meals around sale items. A little more work but saving lots of money on stocking up on sale items.

It's definitely getting harder to stay in budget for the normal things we buy. However, I thank God that we are not starving even though we have to leave off some things each time we shop. I'm seriously looking into trying out fresh cow's milk, then maybe the cheese too. We are hoping to be able to buy meat in bulk from a farm. I'm searching around. Thanks for sharing.👍🏽👍🏽

I get that and it is still winter when we can't grow are own gardens it's rough with prices going up and up it sucks but God will help us in his own way trust in him 🙏

Start canning and you can get stuff prepped not to have to buy prepared. The kids could help snap beans and make tomato gravy! ❤️

Good morning Sarah. I’m not sure if you’ve compared sams to azure, but azure has great potatoes, onions and apples. All organic and pricing imo can’t be beat.

I am trying to use some of my shelf stable food that I stocked in case the pandemic made getting food difficult.

Then I make a large chili are casserole and do the same thing with it. I try to make 4-5 things with multiple frozen servings then I don’t get food boredom.

Enjoyed the video

Since your will be building a house on the farm it might be good to get a proper big size celler. It doesnt matter if you grow stuff or buy stuff. When i was little my parents bought 400 punds/200 kilos of potatoes in autumn to last the 3 of us until next autumn. Kept pretty okay but now they get small er amounts

Eatiable cookie dough cures everything by the smile she had at the end…😆😆

Ethnic and Asian grocer stores are a great place to fruits and veggies at a lot cheaper price, even things like rice and herbs and spices as well. You are also generally putting your money into your local economy compared to the big stores like Wal-Mart, Aldi, target, Costco etc.

Happy Belly brand from Amazon has many grocery items on sale. If you spend more than $50 you get 20% off. Many items end up being a lot less than Walmart, Sam's or Aldi.

This month I'm doing a no spend month (last month we went over budget 😔) We are cooking out of our pantry and getting by with what we have. I think next month we'll switch to doing once a week shopping for the sales instead of once a month.

Try couponing to save more money.

For those of us on limited incomes March almost has five weeks in it so hard to stick to a monthly designated amount.

Experience from Ireland: When you go once a month / once every 2 months, you lose out on the expiring products at the supermarkets. You can save a huge amount by simply buying products with BBE in the same month - and as many of us know, Best Before dates are just a suggestion. In Ireland you can find onions and potatoes for 10% price with BBE of today…both are good for weeks if not months after the official expiry date, good way to stock up on those items. The same system is applicable in the UK.. We live close to a Tesco, so it is easy to catch these finds.
