I’m a wife to one and mom to three, and I really, *really* like saving money.
Homegrown Hillary is the only place I dish about everything frugal living. But you might have also seen me giving money tips other places around the web, like US News & World Report, Yahoo Finance, Refinery29, Parents Magazine, and Better Homes & Gardens.

I've started taking a head of garlic, removing the paper, and trimming the bottom so it sits upright. Then put a tiny amount of oil on top and roast. I think it give a richer flavor while taking the edge off the sharpness. Then I just take a clove of it and squeeze it out when I need to use. A little disgusting maybe, to some, but oddly satisfying.
Just wanted to point out on the list at 0:44, she has listed a yearly cell phone budget of nearly $1,200! My partner and I keep ours under $300 per year with Tello's 1GB + unlimited talk/text plan, using the data rollover hack: Manually pay your bill a day or two before it's due and your data rolls over indefinitely, so you can save your GB's for a month you may need extra.
That was fun😊
Content creation and video production take a lot of time and thinking that people don't even realize!
Great video!!
I know a lot of people are talking about. How are they going to eat now and I just didn’t realize how many people eat processed food. I don’t eat it because I’ve always been poor and processed. Food is the most expensive thing compared to weight and health and you have to stay healthy so you have to look at what you can get and eating anything that’s been premade for you is expensive and disgusting and not good for you.
I AM NOTNEAR LOSS LEADERS AND I TAKE A CAB ONCE A MONTH TO THE STORE I AM CHALLENGED BY HEARING AND SIGHT LOSS. I AM WATCHING JULIA PACHECO AND SHE IS AMAZING YOU ARE TO HI ARY. I AM TRYING TO EAT ON 100 A MONTH TY GREAT ADVICE KATE❤CAPS❤BLINDNESS
Yes, I also like Julia Pacheco!
It does take a bunch of time and energy.
I cut my dryer sheets in half and they last forever!
3:00 My mom rarely if ever bought the Easter egg dying kits growing up. She just used regular old food dyes and a white crayon for making designs and my memory was it worked great!
Your family comes first as it should. Enjoy your children. They need you.
I use Xtra but my clothes are usually just slightly soiled, it's just fine for me.
Family First! Enjoy every moment you can with your little ones!
I use Rakuten. I get a nice check every 3 months for anywhere from $30 to $90
Good for you! You know your priorities and your family will thrive because you put them first. You’ll never get this time back. God Bless and much respect ❤
You won’t regret spending more time with your kids. I’m 53. My kids are 25 and 22. The one thing that weighs me down the most is regretting not being more present with them while they were young. I’m thankful as a teacher I had summers to be physically present. However, my summers were still spent on teaching activities. I planned, prepped, and trained. I really did NOT take three months off. I regret it so much.
Problem is, healthy food including lean meat and fruits and veg are expensive .
All your followers love you Hillary and will be waiting for your vids whenever they appear- as long as they subscribe of course. You are so down to earth and refreshing - bless you and yours. Stay happy. Best wishes from UK.
Also maybe have a different format to your videos. I have seen ytbers that only put their camera in front of them and talk, they don’t edit anything. And people like it too.
I just subscribed because I’m a momma too that is choosing a slower more present life with my family. 🥰 upload when it feels right. Have fun with your babies.
You're awesome Hillary! I'll continue to watch at your pace, happy you are prioritizing whats important.
You always have good informative advice that we can use. Unlike many other creators some can't afford the content break (days off) due to it being their source of income. However, I'm glad that you have a supportive husband, which most don't these days. It gives you the time needed to focus on your small children being a parent is not easy! Your children will be so proud of you that you just didn't focus on MONEY....🥰 it is a tool that we all need. However, it could never replace the TIME SPENT with the ones you wholeheartedly LOVE....Take as much time as you need and don't worry about KZread...thanks for informing us🤗
Children grow up in the blink of an eye! It truly shows what a great mom you are! You can’t get this time back and it’s such an important time of their lives! Proud of you for making the right decision for your family! God bless y’all!
Family first! God bless all of you!
It’s great to hear a woman putting family first. You’re an inspiration on frugality and how you are as a mom putting your family first. Looking forward to more videos on your timeline that works for your family! FYI - this is the first comment I’ve ever posted on a video ever, and your channel is either the first or of the first two (I can’t remember because it was so long ago) I’ve ever subscribed to.
This is one of the most amazing comments I’ve ever received. Your first comment ever!?!? (And happy commenting on other videos in the future! I might be biased, but I think it’s so fun.) Thank you so much ❤
You do what is best for your family! Your kids are only little for a short time, it's good to be present. Take care.
You have made right choice! Enjoy every precious moment with your family !
Wise woman.
Motherhood is so important! God Bless You!
Good for you! I'll be happy to see you when I see you. 🙂Many people take the summer off from posting or take a break when overwhelmed so I get it. Enjoy your little ones.
I think it’s wonderful that you are putting your family first. We will be happy to see your videos whenever they are posted. Have a wonderful summer with your family.
I’m definitely doing something wrong, I’m spending like five to $700 a month on groceries
Take the time you need for you and your family. We can wait for your content. Enjoy!
Thanks for the update......hubby and children *should* come first. We will see you as you're able! Be blessed!
Hillary I recently found your channel and enjoy it very much. Please take any time you need. Family is most important. I don't pay attention when people post, I just wait till I get the notification.
Yes! My garden has also been time-consuming this year. But as the kids are playing in it with me (so excited to pick radishes and use the hose!) it counts as double duty haha
Oh whoops responded to the wrong comment lol. But that’s so interesting about just noticing when you get a notification! Good to know!
Adore you so much! I really think I should start a channel myself but I don’t want to be tied down to it..I don’t want to think about it everyday like most people do..I love my freedom if not being stressed about what I should do for the next video…right now it’s crunch time to get the garden in..taking in all that nature has to offer..You having little munckins is more important then anything when your not stressing financially..enjoy them and yourself it goes by very quickly.
My hubby also had a channel for six months. He never struggled with the “thinking about it all the time,” but it definitely takes a decent chunk of your free time and feeling “tied to the schedule” is pretty inherent. That said, it’s one of the most rewarding things ever, and the skill-building is insane, haha.
@@Homegrown_Hillary ~The HUGE difference is your not relying on YT to pay your bills like most that have a channel.
I think so many of your subscribers appreciate the quality of your content that we will be ok with more time between videos. Those babies will be grown in a flash. My only son is 32 and that feels ridiculous typing that as he was just 4 last week. Enjoy your time and enjoy making your videos!
Yep! Family first. We can wait :)
Everything is seasonal, especially with littles. You’re 100% making the right choice.💕
I love that! We’re all in our own seasons. ❤️
Nothing to forgive, wouldn't expect any difference from you Hilary, enjoy motherhood, its the best time ever 😊. Godbless you and your family 🙏.
Your family are the most important….their childhood will go so quickly.
You made a good decision. Don't feel like you have to be filming your family doing stuff. You can just sit in the couch and tell us what you did that month without any extra filming. That would be just as good. We totally understand. It would make editing so much faster.
Hillary, you are a lovely person.
Aww, thanks Dawn. 😊
Very wise decision! Your kids will grow up so quickly, and you will never get that time back! Take care of yourself and your dear family..............
Great decision! I was told when our boys when they were young"the dishes will wait on the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait on the dishes" They are only little for a short time, enjoy and be there for them. Create memories and fun times. Make time for you and your husband too. ❤❤
Oh don’t worry. He’s always my priority. ❤️ Otherwise, I would have been making 2-3 videos a week 😂
You have to do what's best for you and your family, not a bunch of strangers on the internet. I'll look forward to your videos.
Your children come first. See you then we see you x
Totally get what you mean about the 'Schedule' You don't really plan it, it just happens and before you know it you are sucked into a vortex of deadlines that you didn't even plan for.
Right! And clearly (after reading all these comments) at least some of that schedule pressure is self-inflicted, not audience-demanded. Dang algorithm messing with our brains! 😂
🤩👍
Very glad that you are all doing well. Thanks for the reminder that frugality is about embracing the concept of enough, and that includes not being overwhelmed with tasks! Wise choice. I look forward to your videos on your schedule!
