Grocery shop bill format for R&D

hey guys my name is christine welcome to the channel and today's video and i am very excited to share some of my tips and tricks on how you can save a ton of money on your grocery bill and sometimes people probably wonder why do i focus on the grocery budget so much and it's because it's the easiest bill in your budget to slash drastically without even realizing it many many years ago i had a very good friend of mine and we were talking about grocery budgets at the time i was trying to spend 150 a month for my family of four because we didn't make very much and we were trying to pay off student loans and she's like 150 dollars how is that even possible i spend twelve hundred dollars a month and i'm over here saying how is that even possible what do you even buy i am going to clue you in on all of the things i did back then and still utilize a lot of today to cut the grocery spending by half by hundreds of dollars a month whatever you want to cut it by i'm sure you could definitely cut at least a couple hundred dollars off of it depending on where you start and if you do spend a lot of your groceries i bet you could cut it in half number one is the most obvious but also one that maybe people don't think about a lot and it is going to be you need a plan and there are three parts to this number one if you do nothing else that i say in this video except meal plan and then go buy the ingredients you need for your meal plan you will save money it is the impulse buys it is the oh this looks delicious or wandering around the store not knowing what in the world you're going to get or what you're going to cook for dinner you end up spending several hundred dollars at the store and you come home and then you don't know what you're gonna have for dinner still so meal planning is gonna be my number one you have to do this it is the single most important thing you can do to save the cashola on your grocery budget okay the other two things go hand in hand and they're things i still do today if you watch my channel for any length of time you've seen me do this you need to take a look at what you already have because if you've got some chicken breasts in your freezer guess what you're eating chicken this week and you go through your pantry and you see those flavor marinades or canned vegetables that have been sitting there for two months guess what you're having some canned vegetables as a side dish this week or maybe it's a casserole or a soup or whatever but if you use the things you already have first of all they don't get expired and they don't go to waste and number two you spend less that week so if you need some help trying to figure out what in the world to make go check out my freezer clean out challenge videos on my channel where i give you tons of ideas of things that you can do with basic things that a lot of people will already have next as far as the planning goes is you need to look at your store circulars their sale ads every week they change every single week and i am not talking about the costco pamphlet and i am not talking about going to walmart and buying everything there i'm talking about what you would consider your expensive stores and looking at their ads because every week they're gonna have two to five items that are priced very very low very low in order to get people in the store and hoping they will stay in that store and do the rest of their shopping there at a very overpriced markup what i want you to do is be like christine use your noggin go in there and get the chicken breast for 1.49 a pound and the grapes for 99 cents a pound and the broccoli for 99 cents a pound and then leave and go to a less expensive store for the rest of your purchases those are the three tips within the planning topic meal plan shop what you have and shop the sale flyer every week topic number two is that you need to learn how to cook and if you're on my channel that means you are cooking in your home and that's amazing you are going to spend so much more money getting all of the pre-packaged the pre-sliced the pre-cut foods for your house at retail prices then you are making the same thing yourself let's take granola as an example homemade granola is incredibly inexpensive and also i have one of the best homemade granola recipes ever linked down below and i can make a huge batch for pennies on the dollar compared to the three four five dollars a package it is even at a less expensive store like walmart or winco or something like that pick up a couple of basic cookbooks watch a couple of youtube videos hang out on my channel for a little while experiment in the kitchen and you will save a ton of money by learning to do a few basic things yourself next up we have generic items this is a little bit of a hot topic because while some items matter some name brand products do taste better than generic products not all the time i see literally no difference at all between the bushes canned black beans and the great value brand canned black beans the great value brand is half the cost of the other one pick and choose your brand selections carefully you can save a lot of money by just choosing generic over name brand if you don't want to do anything else on this list and then reevaluate why you're prejudiced against the generic brand in the first place i'm trying to think of one where i'm like i will not budge hmm i'll be honest the costco brand salsa it's pretty dang good i mean it's the kirkland brand so i guess it is generic but it's it is superior to some of the other ones that i've had so i mean yes sometimes they do taste a little bit different but like oatmeal i mean it's oatmeal how different do they taste this is a heavily debated topic and it's that eating healthy costs too much money and i would like to put a stop on that misconception yes do fresh fruits and vegetables cost more than beans and rice yes they do but that's not what i'm talking about i am talking about have you looked at the price of a bag of chips of ice cream store-bought cookies sodas juices all of those items are outrageously expensive just don't buy them while a bag of chips tastes really good i'm not gonna tell you does not taste good i enjoy a nice bbq chip okay but when it comes to the nutrients and feeling satiated and feeling good in your body and feeding your family a bag of chips three dollars if it's not on sale three dollars for a bag of chips you could have bought two pounds of chicken breast for the exact same price cutting those items out of your budget will shock you how much money you save and you probably feel better also stop buying the chips don't buy the ice cream and see how quickly you can rack up the savings on your food now speaking of produce and fruits and vegetables it will do you good to shop them in season and what i mean by that is if you like asparagus in march and april when asparagus is 99 cents a pound go crazy eat asparagus until you want to throw up but when asparagus season is over which is in the spring you're not gonna be eating asparagus again until the following spring because it's gonna go from 99 cents a pound up to four dollars a pound same thing with strawberries like early summer is when strawberries are very inexpensive well right now in my town strawberries are five dollars a pound i will not be buying strawberries in january i will wait i will wait until april and then i will buy all of the strawberries so learn which fruits and vegetables are in season at the time buy them in season they will taste better they will save you money and hey you could even go to a couple of farmers markets or open farm stands and buy them there directly from the farmer themselves and i love that i think that's a great option okay are you hanging with me i have two topics left so hang on we're doing it we're doing it okay if you followed my channel you knew this was coming you need to shop the clearance items in your stores please shop the clearance items in your stores and if you don't know how to do it or you don't know what i'm talking about i have an entire video coming out tomorrow where i take you with me in the store show you what i'm looking for show you how to think through everything clearly so if you don't want to miss tomorrow's video hit the subscribe button and come back tomorrow to check that one out i think you're really going to like it almost every store i've ever been in including sam's and costco and walmart although walmart's is not as good but especially the expensive stores will have clearance food especially this day and age where most people are having things delivered or they're doing pickups because the people selecting the produce are not going to pick something that's very close to its expiration date which means the stores have an abundance of clearance food right now just as a quick example i have three things in front of me right now egg roll wrappers 99 cents regular price 269 huge savings this johnsonville sausage this is actually wrong i think i showed this already in a video uh this was a 50 sticker on top of that he must have pulled the whole thing off these sausage flavors 50 off at my albertson's and if you're plant-based and you don't eat meat or things like that guess what you can still get plant-based products on clearance as well don't be scared of the clearance items you can check the date and if one doesn't look good to you bypass it and move on to something else i have been feeding my family on clearanced food for well over 10 years you can get things ridiculously cheap most of them can go in the freezer so you can save them for later so for example like when i bought this beyond sausage the expiration date was like two days out but i just came home and stuck it in the freezer so guess what that means it's not two days out anymore it's a couple months out and now that i have these items in my house i can then shop what i have and meal plan based on that going along with the shopping on clearance is if you see a lot of them stock up so if you are plant-based and you know that this 339 for this container and there's five of them there buy all five stick them in your freezer and pull one out a week like they only had one of this sausage but i have been there before where they've had 10 and i can buy 10 and stick them in the freezer it saves you money it saves food from going in the garbage i am happy about all of those things last in this video but absolutely not least is going to be your coupons but not really coupons cash back apps it is 2021 after all and coupons have gone by the wayside as soon as tlc came out with that extreme couponing show and ruined it for the real couponers if you coupon you know what i'm saying but the cashback apps they are a favorite of mine and i have been talking about them for years on my channel my current favorites at the moment i use the ibotta app a ton even right now i looked at it this morning and i went to in-store in walmart and right now for free they have a four pack of the greek gods yogurt which by the way is amazing a water for free there's an energy drink for half off propel for half off smoothies buy one get one on crackers i have done a ton of videos on how to use ibotta how to do grocery pickup with ibotta if i can find a couple of those i will link those down below for you and if you haven't signed up yet you get a 10 bonus if you use my link down below and redeem your first rebate so essentially they just put cash into your account and then you can cash it out however you want you can cash out through paypal which is what i do and it goes straight back into my bank account or you can cash out for gift cards or you can pay with ibotta the next time i have been using it since 2012. it's been a long time my other favorite i started using two years ago is fetch rewards this one is really easy because you scan any receipt ever you can find one on the ground scan it and they give you points which are then redeemable for gift cards so you could redeem for a walmart gift card and then do your next grocery shopping you could redeem for an amazon gift card and buy some christmas presents and they do give free items also right now i am seeing ozo plant-based protein um it's free right now i don't even know where to find that another one that i like is coupons.com now i don't use their cashback fund function but it is where i use their printable coupon function so if your store will accept printable coupons mine still will although you can't use too many you can save a couple dollars but on things that you're going to buy anyway like don't go all nutso because just because it's on the app you got to make sure you're getting a good price do yourself a favor check out what's on there save yourself five to ten dollars every time you shop on stuff you're gonna get anyway those are most of my tips on how i save money on groceries and i am still able to keep my grocery budget well under four hundred dollars for a family of now seven as my mom lives with me while still continuing to stock up my freezers with these awesome clearance buys that i've been doing so i hope you try one or three of some of these tips i've given you today if you already do some or you're excited to try some let me know down below which ones you are going to try out in your own family i would love to hear your success thanks for hanging out with me today and i will see you in the next one
