hello guys welcome to freedom in abudget and my video on how to only spend $100 a few months on groceries so I did thisvideo quite a few months ago I think it was almost a year ago now and it is mymost watched video I still get so many questions and remarks on it and peopleasking how do you get it on and each time they determine my report cardvideo they was just wondering what I’m only spending a hundred dollars a few months on groceriesnow this is just for me it’s not for my family but exactly me as a single persononly spending $100 a few months so I was of the view that I would go ahead and give you somemore the gratuities and jokes that I’ve learned as I’ve been doing this for thepast year and a half I’ve had this grocery fund for that long a year anda half and I’ve fix to it I conceive I broke itone time in that entire span and that was just maybe five or ten dollars overum but every other month hundred dollars that’s all I deplete so if you’re brand-new herewelcome I’m Kelly it from a flexibility in a budget and I am right now on my journeyin newborn Sept 3 cash flowing a bridal I follow Dave Ramsey and his newborn stepsand I’m also on a weight-loss journey and only doing all things on a budgetbut teaching guys how there’s freedom in a budget and budgets are freeing andthey give you control of your fund and merely the ability to only originate in themand reach your goals and how they’re not constricting they’re not this box thatyou had to stay in and you can’t get out of no budgets are they’re incredible andI love them so I have lots of tips-off and jokes that I’m going to go over withyou guys and if “youre in” the live schmooze please let me know where you arewatching from and if you have any questions throughout this live chatplease leave them into life and I will get to them and then also if you haveany gratuities yourself please delight please leave them and I willI can’t wait to learn from you guys and girl from you guys so the first thingthat I do is once a few months I clear my banquets quite simple so I frequently do ameal like sandwiches or leftovers or spaghetti or breakfast for dinnernow I also have a simple breakfast in my big-hearted snack for the day’s lunch I’m a biglunch being and that is when I’m at work and it precisely is just my ga for theday and it’s just kind of that midday end that I get and I like to have abig meal and then more of a simple simple dinner so first gratuity is one snack amonth and when you do your meal means if you do them for the month one of thoseshould be a simple one that’s very inexpensiveum second one is cook up from scratch so all the ingredients should be fromscratch and it is so much cheaper I is and remains buying some pre like processedfoods and different things like that but I’m working on cutting those out andI’ve actually cut them out a great deal if you look at my grocery live from when Ifirst started to my grocery hauls now um it’s a lot less processed food than itwas in the beginning I still get remarks at am chewing processed food butcompared to where I was before it is incredibly less and too um justprecut veggies and nonsense I go to like Publix and there are peppers and onionsand celery and all sorts of nonsense pre-cut in little containers now guysyou are paying so much more for that oh and result fruit is a huge one I’m alwaysseeing pineapple melon watermelon cantaloupe all of those jolly chipped noguys you’re compensating at least three times more for those that pre-cut fruits andveggies then if you were just to buy them in full form and thenum cutting them and collecting them yourself and like top or whatever nextthing if you have food left over from a snack or from the week move that intonext week’s menu so say this week you had tacos and you still have tortillasleftover okay well next week stimulate quesadillas or wraps or something likethat or say you have daughters chicken leftover from the coming week next week makefajitas so if you have any food left over don’t let it go to wastedon’t let it exactly be engaged in your fridge or precisely kind of eat it Amos Lee put into ameal for next week and you can really save a great deal on next week’s meal next weekyou don’t want to buy tortillas or additional chicken or whatever it is that’s a hugeone um breakfast breakfast are genuinely be a killer I witness a lot of my co-workerseating big breakfast at work and or going out to breakfast and they’respending$ 8 on breakfast I’m like dangerously guys breakfast supposed to bethe cheapest meal of the day specially eating out but even when you’re cookingat home it can still rack up so one thing that I love to do is have reallysimple cheap recipes like banana bread you can make a banana bread for penniesand have it for a week we’re gonna have two weeks if you don’t eat it all freezeit or if I impel banana bread I make like two or three quantities and then only putthem in the freezer or homemade yogurt or regular yogurt I recently startedmaking my yogurt homemade and I save so much better coin on that and it is so cheapeven the store-bought canisters of yogurt so inexpensive shed some chopped upfruit in there some strawberries so good so what I do is I prepare all of mylunches for the week on Sunday that is my big cooking day and I have all myTupperware I have my five little containers of hard work for my mealsand then I have one for veggies or fruit or whatever it is and that highway on Mondayor Tuesday or Friday or whatever daytimes I simply pluck it right in the fridge and goI don’t have to worry about it I don’t have to think about I don’t have to belike oh you know oaths their foo leftover a good deal of my dyes like oh wellI you know cook more the nighttime before for dinner and I just take that butsometimes my husband is really hungry after operate and he fees my lunch portionand then I have nothing so that’s why I had already been found that doing it onSundays or whatever period is best for you sounds a entire week’s meal or do like acasserole and then you can divvy it up let me know chaps “if youre trying to” to domore like recipe and cook with me meal prep videos I have some in the worksthat I’m gonna be doing in the next pair weeks so let me know if that’ssomething that you’re interested in and to go along with that chaps don’t eat outfor lunch please please please don’t eat out for lunch I visualize so many co-workersthat eat out every single day and they devote so much better coin it’s ridiculousum I think that in the entire time that I’ve worked my current position which is ayear and a half now I has actually eaten out for lunch once and that was becauseme and my coworker were really craving this burger for months months and monthsand months and finally we both said gape we have in our budgets we have eatingout coin let’s use it for these burgers and we did and they were so good so goodbut people don’t dine out for lunch always have something on hand and if I do mymeal prep and say I don’t have food or I don’t have enough or whatever the casemay be I always have a back-up plan at work I ever have something that I canput together or throw together that I don’t have to go out and spend money umyou guys have looked my taquitos meal prep video I have a big gallon sized ziplocbag of those that I keep in my fridge at work if I ever don’t have lunch I cantake two of those out daddy them in the toaster looks an oven and be good forlunches for the working day or sandwiches or eat or pop-tarts whatever it is orpremier protein I ever have something that if I need to I can scroungearound and even off a snack at work all right next one merely grocery shop onceweek that’s it one time a week every time that you go to the store there’sgoing to be things that end up in your cart that were not anniversary shit onyour grocery list and it’s so easy to time throw in extra things or be like ohI can really use that or this is a really good sale I can use it guys knowonce a few weeks it really takes out all that extra temptation I learned that trickfrom fund girl and it has saved me so many times and so much money next oneAldi who else browses at Aldi if you shop at all day let me know they areincredible I adoration Aldi um a lot of beings a free hunt everywhere they go inonce and they don’t don’t like it guys it’s it’s incredible so I have foundthat all days about 30% cheaper than all of my grocery store around me whetherit be Publix Walmart I’ve even been an increase north to my home and like Shaw’s stopand shop all that Aldi so much cheaper than all of those and they’re owned byon Trader Joe’s so they are it’s good quality good good quality all right nextthing know your price extents know what your rock-bottom expenditures are so that ifyou’re out you’ll realize a sale no way is acceptable and not to buy so forinstance bananas I know that bananas at Aldi or forty four cents a pound so if Iam for some reason at somewhere else or Publix or Costco whatever it is and Isee bananas I’m like oh let me get some bananas and they’re fifty nine cents apound I know no let’s not a good deal is thatmy Aldi they have them for forty four lads same a chicken so they’re skinlessboneless chicken heart that goes on sale a couple era a year for 149 sowhen that happens I go and I stock up on chicken breast and so everthat I see it for $1.99 or 209 a pound I don’t buy it because I know that I havein my freezer for 149 next thing come with a register so when you go to thegrocery shop or vanish grocery shop make a list but first before you leave thehouse shop your own pantry and I’m targeting this action where my kitchen isshopping pantries so have your meal plan have your grocery list and then beforeyou go be like all right do I have pitch-black beans do I have rice do I have um Idon’t know spaghetti whatever it is and celebrated off what you already had that wayyou’re not wondering okay how many cans of pineapple do I need I need three cansdo I have one do I not oh I’ll precisely buy three cans no no what you have so thatyou’re not buying extra and you can shop your pantry stay on track um when you’redoing your dinner project use the circular use the ad I get the mail to my houseand also Aldi as you’re leaving they have next week circular right there soas you’re walking out you can grab next week’s until that channel you can meal planfor next week and get all the deals and get all the savings that highway all rightnext thing when food is starting to go bad freeze itwhen bananas are starting to turn chop them up threw them in banana in slice themup Jamie’s mothers affection dining bananas frozen they think it is so sweet I’m nottoo big on it but they’re perfect in smoothies or if you have bread that’sgoing freeze it um if you have apples that are starting to turn I like myapples super super crisp once they start to get a little soft I don’t like themso what I do is I chop them up and I clear homemade applesauce so when yourfruits about to go bad use it up no take excursions and pranks of how to use up thatfood Pinterest is a great source of um you know learning different tips of whatdo you do when you have you know mangoes that are going bad or different recipefor them alright next one I may get some slack for this one but be careful I’vegrocery shopping apps like I bought it and check out 51 I found that for methey’re not beneficial because number one I shop at Aldi in those placesaren’t and I’ll be Aldi and I buy generic and I found that generic is evencheaper than the dollar offer whatever it is and a lot of times those apps theymake you buy two or three to get a dollar off when I exclusively need one soyou’re spending more and buying more than what you need so be careful be veryvery careful of those all right I have two left next one is go alone do notbring your spouse do not bring your teenagers if you are able to I know that when I goshopping with Jamie and we’re not even married yet he is throwing things in thecar he’s like Oh sweetie we need some Oreos oh hey what did this be amazinglet’s try this we need some apple juice and he is constantly throwing things inthe car and I simply committing him that look like mmm sorrywell some things they sneak in there um in teenagers the whole adolescents are just
