Here’s why your grocery bill may be going up WPVI 5/13/2020. In another night of unrest in Portland, tear gas hits mayor. Meals for hungry, COVID casino, NY bars revolt: News from around our 50.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) Has your grocery bill gone up since the coronavirus pandemic began? There are two problems: meat processing back-ups and supply chain bottlenecks. The veteran food analyst notes that the industry’s costs to produce, process, and distribute are rising.

As grocers implement physical distancing, personnel turnover, training, double shifts, the use of personal protective gear, equipment modifications, and an increase in the use in automation, their costs are set to go up. 1 day ago · I’m sure you’ve noticed: Your grocery bills keep going up. Blame the pandemic for pushing up the price of many staples, including beef and pork, poultry and eggs. Retail analyst Phil.

Usually it’s a night out at the bar or a lavish meal that produces the head-scratching receipt, but a basic supermarket run? Start saving your pennies, because staples like lettuce, grapes, and tomatoes are going to be inching up in price over the coming months. The culprit: a rough drought that hit California three years.

COVID-19 brought much of daily life in the U.S. to a halt in March and April of 2020, with stay-at-home orders prompting Americans to flock to their local grocery stores to stock up on essentials.As demand for groceries grew and many supply chains were interrupted, prices rose. Groceries were 4.5% more expensive in June 2020 than they were in February 2020, the month before the. This mom and her college-aged daughter have seen their grocery bill go higher in recent weeks. “The price of eggs is extremely high compared with a. Soaring demand, along with a host of other factors related to the coronavirus pandemic, have caused massive disruptions across the food supply chain resulting in prices going up. Why your grocery prices are going up but you’re not getting any more in your trolley Your groceries are getting much more expensive, but you’re actually getting less and less in return.

2017 has been a great year for supermarket shoppers: grocery prices on staples have been at an all-time low, online food shopping is starting to take off, and Amazon’s major disruption and takeover of Whole Foods has given the entire grocery industry incentive to stay competitive, and keep costs low.

Because my grocery bills were always much higher than what my daily dining-out tab added up to each week, eating out quickly became much more economical than buying groceries.

  • In this video Chelsea breaks down the reasons why your grocery bill might be “eating” into your budget. For more tips on how to save and “store” those funds check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ6MqyQwnBg&t=3s

  • Man I wish it were cheaper to shop local but I live in Canada so for some reason everything local tends to be MORE expensive than store bought ����‍♀️��

  • “a lot of people think that batch cooking is super depressing!” what?! i guess i missed that memo. what an arbitrary and strange thing to be ‘super depressed’ about!

  • We are 100% meataholics but several household members won’t eat beans and lentils so yeah protien comes from meat. I get bored so I actually have a 2 month rotation of dinners. Every night is different. We chop and change sometimes but it saves so much time thinking about what to eat or developing a shopping list. Most of them are freezable I save the non freezable stuff for the weekend. As a family of 6 we often shop in bulk as we use that much in one meal sometimes.

  • I WILL HAVE to start a petition on this Chelea chic. She needs to either have a holiday in her honour….OR marked as a national treasure. No if’s or Buts. Dead serious.

  • I love this video! thank you so much this came @ a perfect time for me… my husband and I are trying to cut back on the grocery budget�� I am a new subscriber..��

  • I love shopping exactly like this. Actually watched this while writing this weeks shopping list. Time to shop after lunch (always eat before shopping) ��

  • My grocery tips that work for me: I eat vegan, although it may not work for everyone, but my food spending decreased a lot. I live alone so buying bulk is tough but I do buy grains, beans, rice, spices etc in bulk. I choose the generic brands. I only buy food at grocery stores and not cleaning supplies and toiletries as I find those cheaper at hardware stores, dollar stores, some drug stores etc. Food waste was an issue for me so I shop once a week of fresh foods and buy frozen fruit. I don’t buy pre-cut and prepackaged fruit and vegetables. Mock meats are pricey but tofu, dried beans (even canned costs little), and tvp are very cheap. I make my own coffee in a french press and have a travel mug. I pack snacks with me to avoid impulse buying. Recently I planted green onion stems and lettuce stems in little pots and they regrow fast. Befriend a gardener lol.

  • My quarantine diet:
    Lavash pizza: lavash bread, pizza sauce, fat free cheese
    Smart sweets
    Popcorn
    Diet drinks
    Zero sugar Monster
    Teas
    Ice cream
    Whatever my folks make for dinner or chickpea pasta and cheese if they don’t make anything for me
    And Protein Doughnuts: Pumpkin, protein powder, stevia, flour, egg whites, coco powder, baking powder

    This is my diet XD

  • This is awesome. I just moved from one of the most expensive cities in the US to one that’s meant to be quite affordable except for some reason the groceries are waaaayyyyy more expensive. It’s so weird. These are helpful tips. (Although as someone who mostly buys fresh food that will go bad I try not to buy too much ahead of time)

    Which reminds me…You probably won’t see this but if you haven’t done a video on negotiating that might be a good one. I was able to negotiate my salary up by over 14% (in my industry 3 or 4% is more typical) by 1) just asking 2) arguing for my value (and knowing why they wanted me)/ making myself seem slightly more in demand than i really was 3) understanding their funding and term limits 4) showing very clearly that the cost of living in the new place was cheaper mostly in rent but that taxes, groceries, and the cost of owning a car made up for that

  • I agree, good ethical meat is more costly but actually, as a carnivore, my food costs have dropped dramatically as I don’t buy anything else. Vegetables? Nope. Fruit? Nope. I only buy from small family run farms and buy in bulk (it actually works out as a cow a year), buy unknown cuts (unknown in terms of what grocery stores offer), and offal etc. I can actually make $200 last an entire month. Vegetables/fruit are not always the cheapest option as most things are sold out of season making them expensive as well as less nutrient dense.

  • thank you for all of your videos.. i am a new subscriber to ur channel and i love ur videos, i am a family of five, picky eaters and low budgets, so my budget is $400 a month thats $100 a week and i go shopping on sundays… i meal plan and prep.. but i never thought of shopping my own dry goods, i always check my fridge and freezer but the pantry i never thought of… for those clearance sections.. i have a jar of change that i roll at the end of each week.. i always have tons of change from my husbands pocket after work.. so i use that for gas money, or impulse buys, or sale items not on my list.. and i add an exrta few bucks a week here and there to my jar when i have it.. it helps for my coffee and cleaning product buys.. i go over board with them on occcasion

  • Wmarts green beans are nearly the price I paid for them growing up.  They are 44 cents a can and I got green beans three for a dollar when I was young.  Wow cheap white bread was three for a dollar.  I learned to save money back then.

  • The only point I would disagree with personally is that if I go shopping when I’m not hungry, I don’t want to buy anything! So just for me personally, I try to go when I’m hungry so that I buy ingredients for meals I want.

  • My biggest pet peeve when it comes to trying to save money or get a good deal on clothes or food… especially food is when I have to buy something in order to get something free. Or Buy one full price get another half priced. It has to be REEAAAALLLY worth it for me and something like a pair on converese. But those coupons that are like spend 25$ get 5 off….thats not a sale thats me spending 20 damn dollars. Smh I hate all this sales propagand because I normally know what an actual good deal is.

    Adding on to she said just becuase something is on sale does not mean you saved money if its something you would normally buy or something you really like for example certain shoes or a bookbag.

  • I literally don’t understand how two people can live off of $200/month in groceries. This seems as logical as the 11 bank account idea ����

  • I find no matter how much I plan and economize for grocery shopping, what $60 got me a couple years ago is now $100. The prices of groceries have gone up, and the size of packaged foods are shrinking. You just can’t win.

  • $100 per person is my overspending. That is what I am trying to cut in half. Still, too much waste, too much junk and I really need to get my garden back into use.

  • So a gallon of milk might make tomorrow’s breakfast lol a week is never going to happen I have 3 gallons in my fridge at a time or I’m at the store every night

  • Making rice/pasta in bulk is great! Make an entire bag of rice in the beginning of the week, and you can add it to many different dishes. Jambalaya, beans and rice, chili, stir fry, etc. throughout the week. With pasta, same thing.

    Make a box of spaghetti, and you can add it to the sauce to heat them together. Once you “finish” a jar of sauce, add noodles to it, shake, and have an easy-to-grab lunch!

  • I find that if I order online for pick up, I spend less and buy food that I intend to use. I like to get vegetables and fruits at a local grocer, it tends to be cheaper and I am helping out someone from the community.

  • The bad thing about LA the cheapest store has the worst produce and for some reason always wet. And my groceries go bad fast, ralphs trader joes sprouts its all the same in LA i end up wasting more in food 4 less and its mostly bad quality food.

  • What makes Bill Burr hilarious is his authenticity. Many comics present made up stories. From Louis C.K.’s rather believable, grounded tales to Dave Chappelle’s ludicrous fantasies. Bill Burr seems to observe the real world and just be constantly filtering it through his inherently funny mind. If we were witness to things Bill saw, we’d likely think nothing of it. His cynicism is almost contagious. What I mean to say is that this doesn’t seem like an act. It’s more like a born comedian telling us about his day. That’s authenticity.

  • For me, meal planning has made all the difference! I’ve been making a two-week plan, then putting together an order with Peapod for the last several months (initially necessitated by knee surgery), and have found that this saves us so much money and time!

  • as i was listening to this i was staring into my kitchen with no idea what to do for my dinner after gym. so i found an onion cut it and cooked it into olive oil.. then i found freezed green beans. added it. then left over tomato sauce. added. then left over mozarella.. then 3 cans of tuna. cooked it. added 4 eggs. and it was done. tastes like shakshouka! toasted a slice of bread poured it above it and that was that. cheap tasteful and really random. thanks for the inspirational back noise xD

  • One thing I have found that is really helpful is buying in bulk and freezing, especially for hardy veggies/herbs, veggies in season, or meat. This can work for homegrown veggies as well! For example, I will buy carrots and potatoes on sale, and cut and blanch them to prep them for freezing. This way you’re not spending extra money on staple veggies as often because you already have them around, and you can portion/gauge how much you actually use a lot better. Plus, they don’t spoil! This is also great for those veggies like hot peppers that you may not use as often, but are still necessary to have around. Cutting up and freezing a few that you picked up from the reduced rack will keep you stocked for months! I have even made my own custom frozen veggie mixes that I would have otherwise spent a lot of money on if I went out every couple of weeks to buy those packages.

  • I’m always amazed by Jordan’s “fans.” Do people really not know to get the milk in the back or the cheaper products on a lower shelf? Or to buy generic? I swear, I need my own television show.

  • One of the first things I learned about going vegan was that grains plus legumes equals a complete protein. If you are going to cut out meat and animal products, you need to be mindful to include both. Swapping bread for lentils is not sustainable in the long run. But swapping bread for rice and adding beans works. Or a nut butter and toast. Or oatmeal with nuts as toppings.

  • I keep leftovers in clear jars in the fridge so I can see at a glance what’s there. I also stick a date on the lid to tell me when they were made.

  • A tip that really helped me is to designate a day of the week I grocery shop and only go that one day each week. No exceptions! It’s really helped

  • I shop around the perimeter of a store. Fresh fruits and vegetables.
    Herbs
    Olive oil
    Fresh variety of fish
    H20
    Teas
    Jasmine rice
    Dark chocolate

  • Great tips…but a lot of times, you can get national brands for less than store brands by combining items on sale wth coupons….some stores let you stack coupons and double manufacturer coupons

  • I love that you counted on your pantry. Often we don’t think of keeping supplies on hand as a form of savings, but if you can afford it, keeping a month’s worth of the things you need will make you more resilient for unexpectedly tight times, and natural disasters. Love your videos!

  • I actually always try to grocery shop when I’m hungry, I find I make far better choices, like I tend to pick up more vegetables when I’m hungry, more meat and less junk. ANd the center of my plate growing up was always some type of starch and starches are typically foods void of nutrients whereas meat has a lot of nutrients. I remember if there was meat on my plate growing up I’d find every excuse not to eat it because let’s face it meat tastes disgusting, but when youre hungry, it’s really easy to eat because it’s a very nutritious food just like vegetables.

  • The changes you made here is pretty standard fare for a lot of the Indian subcontinent. No/less bread or meat. Rice, wheat and lentils all the time.

  • In my country tap water is drinkable… and people still buy bottled water. It is incredibly stupid especially because many also buy juices and other drinks alongside. I have friends who refuse to drink normal water because they are only used to sweet and flavored drinks:(

  • I started labeling and dating items in my frig so I know how long the meatloaf has been in there and when I opened the mayonnaise.
    I also freeze items I know I’m not going to finish. Then I can eat it another time

  • The nice thing about Honeycrisp apples is that if in the refrigerator, they will last for months with the same crispiness. So if you are going to hoard…

  • Was this suppose to be helpful? Who the heck doesn’t know these things?? She got her 2 minutes on rachel ray im happy for her though

  • Here is what I have learned from 40 years of cooking meals and trying to stick to a household budget: 1) learn how to cook 9 frugal dinners from scratch using basic ingredients (avoid buying “heat ‘n’ serve” frozen foods and packaged deli meals), 2) plan a week of dinners you have learned to cook and let this determine what is on your weekly shopping list, 3) use meat, poultry and seafood as just an accent in a meal and get most of your protein from eggs, cheese or a combination of whole grain foods + cooked legumes, 4) pack an inexpensive homemade lunch to take to work each day (a sandwich or hot soup in a small Thermos or green salad or fruit salad + a boiled egg), 5) stop buying chips, candy, packaged cookies, ice cream and carbonated beverages, 6) learn to do without dessert unless it is a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, holiday) and is served to a group, 6) drink filtered tap water instead of paying for bottled water (get a Britta pitcher and keep it filled and in the refrigerator), 7) eat an apple or orange daily instead of buying expensive fruit juice, 8) buy only food items at a supermarket and go to a dollar store or Wal-Mart for toiletries, paper products, cleansers and other non-food items, 8) buy only the amount of a fresh or refrigerated ingredient you will use before it goes bad, 9) go through the contents of your refrigerator weekly and toss out anything that is past its prime (pay attention to what got wasted because you bought too large a jar or bag of something and learn from your mistakes), 10) shop at more than just one supermarket to get the best prices, 11) sign up for the loyalty card at each supermarket so you can qualify for special prices and discounts, 12) stock up on a useful basic canned or dry food item if there is a manager’s special that day, 13) if you are single, look for recipes that serve 4 people, then divide up the cooked meal and eat one serving and store one serving in the refrigerator and store two servings in the freezer to reheat later in the microwave (and don’t forget to use these servings), 14) stop eating packaged breakfast cereals with fresh milk for breakfast switch to home cooked plain oatmeal with powdered milk or whole grain buttered toast + a scrambled egg for better nutrition at much lower cost (get up 20 minutes earlier to make that breakfast and tidy the kitchen afterwards before going to work; yes, use some self-discipline).

    For those who are clueless about cooking, borrow a basic cook book from your local library or find a home cook who will teach you how to cook these basic foods: dry pasta, white rice, mashed potatoes, stir-fried or simmered raw vegetables, a basic white sauce and boiled eggs. You can make a limitless number of dinners by serving cooked veggies in flavored white sauce or tomato sauce over cooked pasta or cooked rice or mashed potatoes. And a boiled egg + a homemade salad makes a cheap nutritious lunch to take to work whether you are body-building, training for a marathon or just watching your weight.

  • OMG! You speak from my soul. It was always so hard for me to plan my healthy food, especially in NY where there is so many delicious convenient options. However, recently I have discovered an app called Nutrient and it changed my life. It takes care of everything you just mentioned in your video. Eating healthy has never been easier:) I think you will love it. https://www.nutrient.app

  • Buy veggies and fruits that lasts longer, root/ground veggies like potatoes, yams, beets, radishes, and carrots last a long time. Pears, apples, and oranges last a lot longer than berries and bananas. If you bulk buy or only shop a couple times a month, you can’t buy a bunch of produce that won’t make it to the second week.

  • who is watching a video on how to save money on groceries that wasn’t ALREADY buying store brands and going to the cheapest store in their neighborhood ����‍♂️

  • I’d love to get staples at a discount, but I’ve never seen things like rice, bean, flour, etc. on sale. Or if they’re on sale it’s a branded item and the no-name option is still cheaper than the discounted brand item. When canned coconut milk is on sale I buy a bunch tho’, that’s definitely a staple in my kitchen.

  • Side note: your not in poverty because you didn’t go to the oriental market to get your spices instead of Walmart. In case anyone needed to hear that.

  • The only thing that worked for me: using Instacart to deliver my groceries. Even with their fees, I spend an average of $20 per week or $80. Per month less than before. There’s no emotionally grabbing stuff just because I see it and wow that cuts back the total soooo much! There are several delivery services, I just happen to use this one.

    I’ve even gotten so confident due to my ability to see how much I’m spending as I pick each thing, that I’ve now given myself a $50/wk $200./mo food budget and have stuck to it. P.s. I also have a veggie garden that supplies me with my salad and smoothie greens, radishes and beets at the moment. ��

  • Thank you, finally a person who is truly on a tight budget. Tired of tips (however useful) from people who are saving some but don’t GET IT. Subbing

  • Re: Grocery Shopping, do you “stock up” when there’s a good BOGO? Or does it not get bought if it’s not on the list, no exceptions?

  • I have been a vegetarian for 25 years now and I talk from experience when i say that it costs more to have a diet based solely on fruits and vegetables than on a diet which includes meat

  • I have a chili I make that as long as I have some kind of lentil, an onion, vegetable broth, tomato sauce and some spaghetti to put it on, I can make it (since I always have spices on hand, so I know I’ll have something to give it the flavor I want).

  • amazing video, my daughter lives in San Francisco, eggs there were $7/dozen we went out there for a visit. a nightmare. so glad I found you, gonna tell her all about you, joanie frm. New York!

  • So many butthurt “carnivores” in this comments section. The more you guys get upset about other people eating differently than you the more insecure you look to the rest of us. We’re all omnivores by nature. Get over your meat fetish.

  • I agree with most of this but what bothers me is the advice not to buy meat that’s more than $1.50. This kind of cheap meat is the cause of so much animal cruelty and also environmental destruction. In addition, many hormones and antibiotics are used in mass meat production which you’re eating too if you eat this kind of meat. So, if you have to eat meat, eat less often but spend your money on quality meat!!

  • Hubby and I are carnivores, sorry, nothing besides meat, fish, or seafood will be the main protein in our meals. We have a vacuum sealer machine and buy family packs of meat/seafood on sale and then portion them out for 2. (Hubby won’t eat left overs, ever! I’m fine with them for lunch.) On the side of the fridge there is a whiteboard with a list and item count of everything in the freezer. I can quickly scan the whiteboard as I get ready to make my grocery list. We don’t tend to stockpile much in the fridge for some reason, nor are we big on buying an overabundance of produce.

  • This is great. I like buying store brand foods starting a few months ago. It does save some and still good food. I’m glad there is also a way to save without coupons. I like using coupons it’s just hard trying to print them and have to keep buying ink. Thanks for the tips:)

  • I am single, and retired….living on a low, fixed income.
    Rarely does any bite of food I purchase go to waste.
    I plan.
    I spend time when I first get home from the grocery to prepare food for the
    refrig and freezer so that I get the max out of what I have purchased.
    Every little bit of leftovers goes into the freezer to be used for another meal.
    I survey my refrig daily to make sure that foods are being used up before they go to waste.

    I believe that I need to be a good steward of what the Lord provides for me nutritionally.
    Whenever I let something spoil or go to waste…I feel I have failed to be thankful for His provision.

    I mostly buy organic and I buy the best food that I can buy.
    I struggle with allergies and chemical sensitivity so eating a clean diet is the way I need to go.

  • At the end of the week I make a hodgepodge soup by tossing in all the leftover produce I have on hand. Sometimes the mixture seems a bit strange but it’s always nutritious and I feel good about not having to throw any food out.

  • I live alone, and find cooking for one to be extremely difficult, so I found a place near where I live that makes prepared foods. I buy most of my food this way, and then just shop for extras when I have to (think breakfast items, paper goods, cleaning items etc.) I find doing this allows me a more varied diet, and saves on food waste. Yes, it’s a bit more expensive—but in the long run, it’s totally worth it.

  • IDK why but the last part about old people blew me up… I almost spilled half of my tea and now I got a bellyache out of laughter

  • I wish she would explain how she price matched so quickly? Did she have website saved in phone? Did she take paper advertisements to show them? Also, how does she know it was enough for 4/week? did she plan by meal? There isn’t much detail.

  • Had the same problem with plums last month. I made plum sauce, chutney and jam. Applesauce is super easy too. Use it on oatmeal or pancakes, individual apple crisp, side for meat. It still works with fruit that’s past its prime and surplus can be frozen or canned.

  • We shop/meal plan exactly the same way. Except I keep my menu and grocery list on my phone so I always know what we’re having/ what we need wherever I am

  • I went from spending approx S$70 every time I shopped for groceries to spending S$25 every weekend for food prep thanks for meal planning. It really surprised me how much I could save when I turned to meal planning & home-cook lunch boxes. Now I can still treat myself a good dine-out once a week and still keep my budget in control haha ❤️

  • Ha ha so funny how one of the richest men in the world think things are much more expensive than they are but don’t advocate for higher wages ��

  • I’m a new subscriber and completely agree with your tips. I live in Orange County but on the Los Angeles County border in Buena Park. I travel 20 minutes just to shop at Winco. California is expensive especially on one income but thankfully there is ways to be more frugal ��

  • My groceries bill is way less….. Firstly when I order for a month if it is not over by end of month I do not buy it again till the end of the next month mean 2 months in a row…. I make sure my pantry is empty before I hit the grocery store. I make I do not throw out any item. If I need to throw out it means we will never have it in the next list…. I buy bigger itmes online from Amazon pantry and the things they don’t have will go to my shopping list every other month. Zero pantry at end of the month is great savings

  • Your tips are very helpful…I was just waiting for my hubby for an exchange batteries and I told him I’ll be back going to grab some stuff and I was just grabbing and I just thought to my self the stuff we already have at home and I just stop myself.. Thanks so much.

  • I shop at the least expensive grocery store in town: Food for Less. The difference in prices between that store and, say, Ralphs, is huge. I live in CA, where I have access to fresh fruits and veggies all year round, but prices are higher. bread, for example,can be as much as $4.50 a loaf! And meat and fish are very expensive. I make use of Costco whenever the price and quantity make sense. I used to regularly clip and use coupons, but many local stores don’t take them and certainly don’t double them anymore like they used to. Methods for saving at the grocery store change over time and you have to adapt.

  • 1. Meal Plan

    2. Shop You Cupboard

    3. Find the Cheapest Store

    4. Buy Store Brands

    5. Use Grocery Apps

    6. Examine “Per Oz.” (Cost per Unit)

    7. Buy Clearance Items

    8. Check Flyer for Sale Meats

    9. Buy Produce When In Season

    10. Only Grocery Shop Once Per Week

  • BI-LO is a really good place to save money they have rewards cards and you can earn points that are like cash that you can take off your total bill. SE Grocers is the storebrand and yeah they’re pretty cheap. That’s actually a really good tip most store brands taste just the same as the name brand product.

  • wow
    nothing new. when I am on a tight budget I spend under $75 for a week sometimes a week and an half for a family of 6. 4 adults and 2 kids one being a teen that eats for two. all are home cook food.

  • 65 minutes of seriously well-honed material. Burr’s insights coupled with his delivery is a 1-2 combination headed straight for the funny bone. And his stock character voices are hilarious. He’s in my top 3 list of working comics today.

  • I lived in San Diego for over 35 yrs. Your kitchen is much bigger than the one in my condo. We’ve lived on one income for 26 years. We recently moved to Arizona to a larger home, with a big kitchen. If you have a 99 cents store near you, they should have a produce section. It’s cheaper than Food 4 Less, or any store. Bring your produce home, wash, prep and bag and freeze what you can for cooking and smoothies. Prep your veggies for fresh use and store either in water, or in a bag or container with a paper towel. One of my favorite channels is Free to Family…she has so many great ideas for realistic frugal living.

  • I can cut your bill by 1/4 by just doing 2 things:

    Only buy what’s on sale. If cereal is on sale, buy that. Don’t buy an item full price just because. I got 5 boxes of cereal for $4.80. Center your meals around the sale items.

    Also, don’t buy convenience items. Make everything from scratch. You will save a ton more. Like that Mexican rice can be more for less then the boxed kind. Tastes better too!

    Also, stock up on meat and buy a deep freezer. I just stocked up on meat when it was $.99 for thighs, quarters and drumsticks. Buy a whole month worth of meat. It will be cheaper then when you buy it on a whim.

    Also, just because you live in a certain area, doesn’t mean that you can’t get cheap items. I live a 45 minutes from Seattle and I can get meat the same price as meat in the Midwest or even a cheaper area.

    Go to discount grocery stores. Shop at Aldi’s. I know there’s one near LA. I don’t have an Aldi’s but I still manage to get everything for dirt cheap. Sometimes it’s even cheaper then Aldi’s.

  • Stores play so many tricks on their customers. Generic isn’t always less expensive. I have noticed this at Walmart recently….with some of their cereals. Also, larger isn’t always a better deal per ounce (like detergent,etc). As you mention, you have to look at the price per ounce. I don’t buy meat anymore, but if someone uses meat, they would be better to use it for flavoring instead of making it a central dish.

  • I never realized that I was looking for “The Shopping Experience” when I’ve gone to Whole Food’s or Trader Joe’s….but, your description….makes sense. I have actually gone to the grocery store because I was bored and just wanted to get out of the house. Of course, now I realize you pay to be entertained that way!!! Thank you for creating and posting this!

  • If you get a great deal n have “over bought” think of freezing, dehydrating, canning or another method of storage. With fruit or veg that is starting to turn make a soup or bake with it. Or make jams, chutneys or pickles etc.

  • Thank you for this video. I love price matching. I have been trying to explain to friends and family that they can save so much money if they price match. They don’t listen. �� So instead I teach price matching to kids in my workshops. �� I also show them how to use the Flipp App to price match, which I absolutely love.

  • In pantry starches: rice, pasta, potato flakes, oats, saltines, dry pintos and flour. In freezer meat: boneless chicken and pork. In fridge fresh veg: carrot, squash, tomato, tomatillo, cucumber, peppers, choyote squash, head lettuce. In fridge fresh fruit: apple, orange, lemon. Pantry: tin sardine, sourdough bread, can tomatoes, sunflower kernals, can olives, peanut butter and dried rasins. Under kitchen island: potatoes, onions. I go shopping 1 time a week to restock veg, bread and fruit only, that’s it. All the rest I have here, including sun tea and cold brew coffee. If you can’t make 500 recipies from that list, you need to learn how to. Basic pantry stocks from the least expensive stores save me at least 50¢ on the dollar. Monthly food budget per person “$120/mo.” for home cooked dinners, pack lunch from home w large 1.5 liter of home sun tea, and a light fruit, toast and oats breakfast w home coffee. $120/mo. In LA, try shopping El Super grocery store.

  • Your kitchen is huge compared to mine… I love these helpful reminders. Do you have an Aldis? I wonder if that’s cheaper than your grocery store…

  • You got a lot of great ideas.. I feel really proud that I’m already doing all of these.. unfortunately I didn’t learn anything new but feels comforting to know I’m on a good path lol. Subscribed!

  • For me a big one is buying it all at one store. Just because I need to go to the fancier grocery store for a few key ingredients (maybe a favorite nut butter or a kind of squash I can’t get at the budget grocery stores) doesn’t mean I should just shop there. I save a lot of money by only getting what I need to at the fancier stores and then getting everything I can at places like Walmart and Aldi.

  • Great tips!! I like talking videos like this as I can listen while I work compared to thinking I’m Missing something that person is doing:)

  • It’s funny how I find myself watching somebody half my age trying to tell me how to cut my grocery bills in half. When I already know from experience what and how to do it. Maybe I should be looking at how to motivate myself to actually Implementing it LMAO!! No disrespect to you Katie. That’s great your actually doing it. Some of us just never learn lol.

  • I feel you we have all the same problems here in NYC small kitchen(lol) and one income…

    great video, because I am not into coupons…

  • Thank you for helping me gett over so much financial related shame and even depressive / intrusive thoughts that make me want to give up on any sort of life in this crazy floating rock.

  • My husband and I stopped eating all animal meat M-F for the last two months. Not only have we been able to save a TON of money we feel amazing! We are less swollen, bloated, and dropped a few lbs! One of the best decisions we have made in 2019!

  • Great tips! I really need to try shopping my cupboards first. And I love buying the meat on sale! Can’t wait to try out some of your ideas.

  • Yo! Price matching works. If there is something you want that is on sale at Bestbuy and they don’t have it, go to Target and get it. etc… use your favorite or local big store. They’ll do it if they can see their ad or price right there.

  • great tips.. I use to always shop at foodforless when I use to live in California. I have a year living in Washington its kind of deficult finding cheap store here..Its more expensive �� Great video ��

  • Stewed apples with cranberries, sweetened with a tiny bit of whatever sweetener you like, served with yogurt, is a great, healthy dessert.

  • We eat organic and we try to shop at the (cheap organic) farmers market as much as we can. We also tried to buy some frozen organic vegetables to avoid it from going bad. We cut down our meat consumption by 90% and when we do, it’s better quality. We no longer buy alcohol (because people keep giving us bottles), we only buy a piece of cheese a week, for the rest we buy bulk which is more about principle than saving money though I try to shop at places that are more reasonable. We focus on fruits and vegetables mostly and mainly try to discover delicious vegetarian/vegan recipes which is healthy overall.

  • Geez! Sunday, 07:30 am, in the middle of this fucking pandemic shit…ROFL because of this guy. Billy the Best and the Beast! ������������

  • Quarantine has changed my mindset to “use what you have, as often as you can.” It helps me find new recipes and come up with my own fun creative recipes!

  • I have watched SO many financial advisor videos on youtube about how to do a budget and sticking to it. But no one has spoken to me the way you do. No advice on how to become a millionaire and bla bla bla. Just simple advice that makes sense for a normal person.

  • My food budget is about £50 a month. I shop at Aldi, is that in the US yet? Not sure. Anyhoo, the reason it’s so low is because a) admittedly I have a smaller appetite and eat about half the normal portion at every meal, and I don’t like dessert (no sweet tooth) but b) my mum taught me really good simple, healthy and waste-less cooking. Taken from her mum, who lived on rations during the war. Every ingredient is used, almost nothing is thrown away, the broccoli stalks, ends of carrots etc are all thrown into a soup. I plan my meals (literally takes 5 mins) I shop with a specific list, and I always have extra portions in the freezer for those days i’m too tired to cook. I do eat meat, but most meals I use meat in, like stir frys, pasta dishes etc. I use very little and bulk the rest up with lots of veggies and nuts. Cost per portion for most of my meals is well under £1. Add to that I only really drink tap water, and I never go out to eat. Ever. I personally have too many food intolerances to make it enjoyable, but also it’s not so much the culture here in the UK to do it often, especially away from the big cities (London does not represent the rest of the UK). I don’t feel restricted in the way I eat, because i’ve been doing it all my life. Food is fuel to me, im not really bothered what I eat, I don’t have the emotional attachment to it that can make changes hard for a lot of people.

  • I always take vitamins, never had problems with health and make exams regularly and everything is ok, and I only eat pasta bread eggs and rice and I spend less than 120$ a month on food (including the vitamins)

  • Meat that’s only $1.50 per serving really makes you think how that animal lived. I am in no way a vegetarian or vegan (although I eat very little meat) but cutting costs by buying low quality meat is the worst way to go in my opinion. It supports mass production of meat in awful conditions and I for one don’t want to participate. Better try and cut down on the meat consumption to save money and be able to splurge on good quality meat every once in a while.

  • i use an app called bring and meal plan.
    i use pinterest to meal plan according to whatever im feeling that week.
    no one said you have to cook all your meals on one sunday. tbh i find it kind of gross with all the different smells and sad when im just reheating in the microwave. you can do this!

  • Thanks for the tips! But I did not like the “buy no nuts, buy cheap meat” part. Nuts are healthy, meat is not. And I really don’t want to know how the animals lived before when their meat is later on sold that cheap ��

  • There’s only one rule that applies to clothes as well: don’t enter a grocery store unless you need something specific and planned. That way you avoid impulse purchases and save money. I know for a fact that if I get into a store, I’ll leave with something I didn’t plan to buy. So it’s more about self-control.

  • Rich people: poor people wouldn’t struggle so much if they stopped wasting money on Starbucks
    Actual Poor people: I guess I don’t need cheese, bread, or fresh veggies this month…

  • I do agree on all BUT MY GOD, DO NOT CUT NUTS! They are one of THE most healthy foods out there, especially walnuts. Buy them in bulk but do not cut them. They even can serve as diner when you had plenty of food at work (e.g. when someone brought a cake).

  • Please don’t take out your healthy fats out, they also replace the proteins you need for the cutting of meat!
    try to eat only 4 to 6 nuts a day (snaking 100g is not good and having only 4 is hard. don’t buy the salty ones!)

  • It looked alright until I realized it ends as an advertisement at 5:25
    It probably wouldn’t do me much good anyway because I already cut every possible corner. Nuts? That’s for rich people, as far as I know. And butter? I switched to margarine because butter is too expensive. No fruits either because only rich people can afford that.

  • Instead of buying cheap meat, try to replace it with veggies / cheap faux meat / tofu, because by buying cheap meat you’re supporting a cruel factory farming industry. Meat should be a luxury, and should only come from reputable sources.

  • I’m annoyed that the budget included things that were already in the house and fresh veggies from a garden. That’s not an accurate count then. I feel guilty about spending the amount of money that I do and I think people are kinda lying

  • It’s crazy to think that there are people spending over 400$ on groceries each month for a couple only. Is it because they live in an expensive area? It’s hard to keep the perspective because I really cannot explain how it would sum up to over 400$

  • One of the best ways to save on grocery spending is to meal plan before going shopping. This way you are only buying what you need. You then buy meats, etc only on offer and place in the freezer/store cupboard for future meal plans. I’ve now been doing this weekly for a couple of months and have saved so much money.

  • the only time i cook without cooking extra servings is if it’s something i only crave occasionally like a certain pasta recipe, i wouldnt double or triple that because i know that i won’t want it again anytime soon. but things you eat all the time definitely batch cook and freeze or keep in the refrigerator!! it’s like having your own little lean cuisine prepared meals without the extra charge for convenience!!

  • As funny as it could sound, eating a good meal before heading to the grocery store helps to not overspend. If I’m hungry while grocery shopping, I will grab anything and everything.

  • People don’t tend to think about the coast of eating crappy for years, my family of 3 trys to stay at 160$ plus 40 for my daughter after school snacks

  • $4 for dental floss?! $20 for detergent?! No idea what those pizza rolls are but $9 sounds like too much. I guessed half or less for that stuff because I have never seen them that expensive in my life.

  • More you learn about cooking and food preparation, less you are going to spend in the supermarket. So instead of watching some mind numbing sitcom or “the view”, watch Julia Childs or Jacques Pepin cooking episodes and have fun learning.

  • I pretty much never have to throw food out. I have a very firm rule with myself that if there is food in my refrigerator that needs to be eaten there is no way I will do take out or even pick up a frozen dinner from the grocery store. I have myself so well trained that when I decide I’ll take myself out for a treat I almost never know what I want and just go home and cook something instead.��

  • Ok, I really need to start meal planning, I know this. But when I do attempt to sit down and do it, my mind goes blank. I just started watching your videos (& love em!) I’m gonna look them and se if you have one about meal planning. Love all these money saving tips!

  • Its funny how anyone would think that healthy food is more expensive. Its cheaper unless you wanna buy fancy foods like kinoa and unnexessary stuff like that

  • I see comments on here about how $400 is amazingly high.
    You should try shopping on the cheap with multiple food allergies. $400 is impressively low. But as one person pointed out, yes it requires a lot of time as if you want to eat cheap with food allergies, you better be prepared to cook.

  • We spend on average $125/week ($500/mo) on groceries for the 2 of us. However, this also includes all non-food items and dog food for 2 medium size dogs. I don’t think this is really all that much TBH when you factor in soap, shampoo, paper products and dog food/treats.

  • a lot of people sleep on coupons, but its really not hard to do. follow all these tips PLUS sign up for your store’s loyalty card if they have one. one of my stores gives cents off per gallon of gas when you have a certain amount of points accumulated from shopping there. (savings in another area from doing something you have to do anyway. win win.)
    lots of stores with loyalty cards have digital coupons you can load to your card that will take off at the register. ONLY buy items that you want/need. dont buy just because it has a coupon (unless it ends up being the cheaper option) loading digital coupons to the card ended up saving my family about $20 each shopping trip, (our out of pocket was roughly $100) any savings is good savings.
    Another tip: go food shopping in the morning if possible. at my stores, i always find meat and produce that has been clearenced because its getting close to its expiration. the meats will be perfectly fine if you eat them that night or freeze for later. for the produce, it depends on what you get, but we found 10lb bags of potatoes for only 1.50 and they were good for at least 2 weeks.

  • Late to the game so you probably won’t see this, but with meal prepping I love making things that can be used in really different recipes (roasting chicken, making quinoa/ rice, roasting veggies) and then using these in different meals. This lets you meal prep without a freezer while still eating varied food.

  • Considering this lifestyle as a challenge for a month is okay, but everyone please don’t exclude nuts from your diet. They are expensive, yes, but they are just so healthy and necessary in our diets.

  • Make a weekly food plan and only buy food on that plan. People throw away huge amounts of food because they over shop and end up not using it.

  • Basìcally: stopped eating things she loves a lot, used all the stuff she had in the house. To conclude, she saved like 100 bucks and not 215 bc she had so much food at home…

  • Watching your videos makes me wonder the life style of an American and it’s economy. I mean I have lived In 2 countries, and in 1 I stayed for a little, still I spended a few in groceries…. I wonder what kind of mentality American culture have when shopping or cooking. I was raised in the believe “you eat what you have”. So obviously I shop for every month according to what is in offer, also I don’t buy meat, eggs, fruits and some veggies in supermarkets but theyr respective shop or little markets (something common at least in Spain an Brazil). I think every food is good, so I buy accordingly to the Season. So by the end of the month the Cabinets and fridge at home are empty and that is when we know we need to shop. XD

  • My husband and I spend around$150-170 per month for our family of 6. We eat a lot of fresh fruits and veggies and meal plan and bulk cook. Really wish we could lower our food budget just a tiny bit more but it can be hard.

  • Nuts are one of just 2 food groups to have been scientifically proven to make you live longer. The other is leafy green veg. I try to buy frugally but I’m more interested in eating healthily.

  • My problem is that sometimes i buy groceries and plan meals but then i end up eating out with friends or buy takeout, and without knowing, at the end of the month or year, i got lots of expire products

  • I batch cook, use my Foodsaver to freeze the leftovers when possible. Always label the bag with date and food item. It’s usually the protein that gets frozen, since it’s easy to cook up the side dish. It’s only my husband and I in the house now, and our ground beef is packaged in 1.5 pound packages (we raise our own). That’s too much for two people, but great for leftovers. Last time I made taco meat there was enough for three meals.

  • Indeed be careful about buying what you may already have. I just bought a new box of cereals because I thought that we had one box that we getting low. It turned out that we had two half full boxes! I did better with Girl Scout Cookies. We were buying a box every weekend when we passed the girls seeling them on the corner. We decided to not buy any until we finished the ones that we had. It turned out that wasn’t until they stopped selling so we can start over next year!

  • If you are going to shop just once a week, I have read that Wednesday is the best day. Shelves are usually fully stocked, produce is fresh and has been recently delivered…and there are not a lot of people in the grocery stores on Wednesday…And, you can spend your time really comparison shopping instead of feeling that you are part of a crowd that just needs to get in and out.

  • Walmart does not price match anymore and they are going to be getting rid of their saving catcher program also in the near future. In fact for now all you can do is spend any cash that you have already earned through Savings Catcher.

  • I’m a grandmother now and I raised 2 children on my own, on a strict budget. This is how I know how to shop and save money. Shopping at the stores that bring foods to your car is a huge financial mistake. There are normally a store in your area where you live that can cut your food budget by 20%+ each month and you do not have to go without. I never buy meat or fresh produce at Walmart. Walmart does however have a good selection of frozen vegetables. I always go to Safeway or Albertson’s in my area to buy meat. I just make sure it is on sale. The best thing to do is create a weekly menu/meal plan and then make a shopping list to go with it before you go to the store. Also, never go to the store hungry or you will buy lots of goodies that isn’t in your budget.

  • i generally buy on sale and in bulk if cheaper. For example beef by the pound costs me about $9. But for $50 i can buy a huge chunk of beef for $9 per kg. i would buy the goat whole but you do need a larger freezer to store everything.

  • this is somewhat foolish. if im in a store and i pickup something and on the way to the counter if i change my mind, i leave it where i stand. the store can put it back. my approach is pay more upfront in bulk and then experience savings down the road. if i bought by the portion or in small regular supermarket portion, it would cost me way way more.

  • Another tip for preparing meals, is to purchase a lot of herbs and spices. Whipping up a dish is so much easier when you have some any different spices to add to a dish! I am a Nigerian-American so having these staples was a norm and helped so much when creating various non Nigerian dishes!

  • I love this video, but just half of it is true. Sometimes buying the more expensive you get much better quality or its organic. Sometimes reduced meats have been darken too which can create a rotten smell onced opened the package vs a clean meat how it should smell like

  • using up what you already have isn’t cheating!! every week you will have something or other leftover and there’s no point in not using it!!

  • Some people use coupons and pay nothing for basically the same shit I saw in her cart lol just sayin… but still a lot of good tips.

  • 1. Meal plan
    2. Shop your cupboards first
    3. Find the cheapest store near you
    4. Buy store brand
    5. Use grocery apps
    6. Examine “per oz” (compare brands this way and buy the cheapest)
    7. Buy clearance
    8. Check flyers for sales on meat
    9. Buy produce in season and freeze
    10. Go to grocery store only once a week to limit impulse buying

  • I know this is 2 years ago, but even then most of the Walmarts had stopped price matching. She’s wrong you get better deals shopping traditional supermarkets with their sales & coupons. Aldi’s isn’t a good place either contrary to what many people have been brainwashed into believing. Again better deals using sales & coupons at traditional supermarkets & even pharmacies like Walgreens & CVS Pharmacy. Also, many stores do double coupon days. Ask at the service desk, call, or some put it in their ad or online (not all do if it isn’t company wide). I look to see how much we can realistically spend a month on food & other items we need (personal & household products). I keep a portion of that for the last 2 weeks of the month for milk, bread, & good sale prices. I’ve routinely bought eggs, bread, etc for under $1.00 at supermarkets & milk for under $2.00. I’ve bought 6 boxes of cereal for under $4.00 thanks to sales & coupons. Stupid people don’t take advantage of sales & coupons. Walmart’s meat has always been expensive. We bought 2 chickens for $0.49 a pound at the traditional supermarket & only paid around $6.00 for them & they were big chickens for that price. I’ve bought cheese for under $1.00 at the supermarkets, too. STOP BUYING INTO THE MYTH THAT WALMART, TARGET, & ALDIS ARE THE CHEAPEST PLACES TO SHOP. Look at the ads, use coupons, & you’ll buy a lot more with that money. I’ve literally gone to the supermarket spent $65.00 & brought home enough food to feed us for the month minus fresh milk. It’s what you’re buying & where you’re buying it.

  • Wal-Mart has these signs “Every day low prices”, so many times it rings up wrong at the cash register. I pointed it out to the cashier who always has someone to go back to verify it. When they realize I’m right, always the same excuse, “someone either forgot to update the system or they forgot to take the sign down”. Then give you that look like you committed the crime of the century.��

  • I used to do price matching (I’m in Canada), but it’s not even worth it anymore with all the restrictions. Walmart is dropping price match, few other stores do it, and have restrictions like only two of any product can be price matched and only identical brands (so no equivalent store brand deals). Meh.

  • The audience must be paid or specially selected. This deserves chuckles, but some of them looked like they had never seen anything/anyone more funny!

  • sadly, this is not possible anymore.  Nobody price matches.   ALDI’s is ok; but I found that the produce goes bad faster.   It’s ok for some thing; but not all.   AND, I still have to go to other stores for other things that ALDI’s  doesn’t offer.   I wish she would go on and do another one to see “if” it’s still possible (large family style).

  • Buy good healthy bulk bread at costco and divide each package into two freezer bags. Take out a new bag from freezer to fridge when needed. Keeps fresh in freezer for couple of months. No more throwing away leftover bread and you buy a lot less often. Saves a ton. Same goes for nuts, buy big bulk cheaper bag, divide and keep in freezer, keeps fresh for over a year. The large bag goes a long way this way.

  • Wow generic brands, prep yourself and clearance stickers are cheaper? Thank goodness there is the Rachel Ray to tell us or we would never know!

  • Why is the Aldi and Costco here in Australia so expensive than America? As family of 4 (2 adults 2 young kids) we spend a week about $250 only on Aldi,then another 70$ on meat,then another 50 on nappies,wipes, non dairy milk and tuna fish..so about $370 a week only and also when we go Costco monthly we spend about $380 to $450…the price tag is heavy on the pocket and the food doesn’t last more than a week and half usually

  • This guy is the devil he is making a vaccine that has side effects and he wants everyone to take it but yet in an interview he got choked up. When asked in a interview if this has side effects he started getting choked up when trying to answer the question and fidgeting bill gates if you think people are going to take your vaccine you another thing coming you can shove your vaccine up your arse

  • I have no issue buying store brand but sometimes sorry it’s just gross. I’ll try it and if its bad I just have to pay more next time.

  • I have one more very important tip for you, never ever step a foot in a grocery store if you where HUNGRY because trust me you will buy lots of useless things and that my dear will strike your bill like you know what, I have been there trust me ��

  • I’ve slowly learned to avoid “big” stores like Walmart/target and check out my local markets which are mostly hispanic! And Aldis! Walmart is like the LAST resort!

  • My go to meal is curry chick peas or lentils! I get a TON of leftovers with lentils and I bring it to work.

    I always meal plan and make lists

  • Great video! One comment about the full fridge, though. A full fridge actually uses LESS energy than an empty one.
    Once the food is at fridge temperature, it holds that temp more efficiently than empty air in the fridge.
    Let your leftovers cool to room temp before putting them in the fridge to use less energy to cool them.

  • Do not agree with the entire concept. Some tips offered are helpful. Harris Teeter offers SuperDouble events and doubles coupons up to $2. People can get groceries and other house hold items for cents on a dollar! Sometimes, items can be FREE. However, I’am not against shopping for store brands. I love Aldi’s and their produce prices are lower than Walmart. I spent $34 dollars for groceries for one week at Aldi!

  • My biggest issue is that the only feasible grocery option we really have is a Winco. They do not usually except coupons. Nor do they have advertised sales, or sales in general.

  • Unfortunately now, Walmart no longer price matches. They got rid of it so from now on you have to use the Savings Catcher, but it works just as well.

  • Most of her advice is common sense. And a dollar or more per can of beans saved by buying generic? That’s an exaggeration if I ever heard one. Where’s the big savings here? I don’t see it. Maybe 10 percent max.

  • I love #3!! We didn’t start eating meat so much until the mid-twentieth century. I asked my mom and a few other older adults what they used to eat and a lot of it was beans, cornbread, and veggies. They ate chicken maybe once a week and deer meat during hunting season. We don’t NEED meat in our diets all the time!

  • Price matching is a thing of the past. And for people that don’t remember to scan their receipts, Walmart is as good a bargain as one night think

  • I over stock, but I’m also trying to lose weight, don’t have tons of time to shop, and know how to cook and the easiest thing to do for healthy eating for me, is just having lots of healthy ingredients on hand:) somegets wasted every week, but I cook more now than ever AND am now 11 kg down in 2.5 months, so I’m doing it, slow and steady

  • I am very frugal and prudent when shopping. However, undear Rachel, I do not maintain those traits when dining out. I tip the wait staff generously perhaps you will do the same one-day…or even onetime.

  • You lost me at Walmart! Watch The True Cost on Netflix to learn how they use cruel and unethical manufacturing in Asia, under the justification that “they don’t own” these sweat shops. If you shop at Walmart you are supporting inhumane treatment of people making garments. Demand that @walmart ONLY work with FAIR TRADE manufacturers.

  • Keep lists of recipes on your phone. Use your phone to make shopping lists for food. Buy seasonal fruits and vegetables. Look at the price of what you are buying. I still like to buy good quality food, organic where I can as I think what you put in your body is important for health and the way you look and feel. Eating is a nice treat, but who knows what they put in that food. If I home cook I know exactly what goes on my body. Choose nutritious foods that you enjoy and you will eat out less ��

  • My dad did roofing and he had me constantly hosing him and his workers with water, we live in new mexico: i stopped the water for like five seconds they almost threw a hammer at me

  • Mr Bill gates I need 1 lakh dollars very much, you can give it to me as a loan if you want. I will fulfill all my dreams with that money, many unemployed people will benefit from fulfilling my dreams. Their lives will also change, I and all those people will pray for you. If you give me the money, I will try to pay it back one day with dividends,

  • Goodbye price matching! It might be great for customers but you’re a nightmare for cashiers because they have to check your shit and if you don’t have proof it’s a miserable time for everyone.

  • You can’t blame the guy for being a little off because the average American spending $1 is equal to Bill Gates spending $1.06 Mill..��

  • When I was trying to buy organic including organic meat I was spending $200 -300 a week for 3 people. I had to cut back and am now spending $150 every week.

  • Bill gates could buy all those companies the same day and still be rich. I could not even buy all those products at the same day, without burning a big hole in my wallet..

  • For the stranger who is reading this comment

  • I call him Prophet Bill Gates. He warns us of pandemics and has the immediate solution for them strangely enough. and somehow is has always been in the vaccine/ pandemic business. <3

  • Walmarts here in Arizona does not price match or take coupons at all. I have do a month meals planning for the whole month.so I get the big family pack of meat and I take out how much do we need for dinner and packing up and put in freezer bags and write what meat it is a put the date on the package.i have a month of $327 a month of food.

  • This isn’t “cute” or “funny” and should have 500K dislikes instead of likes. Americans love to needlessly worship their capitalist overlords

  • “Hey bill can you hire some guys to paint my house gold?”

    Bill: sure

    “Wow look at this house its like real gold”

    Bill: in fact it is real gold

    *visible confusion* “is said color gold not gold gold!”

  • FUN FACT: HE MADE $90-$100K in the time it took you to watch this whole video….

    Its both inspirational & depressing at the same time….he could afford to throw out his clothes after only waring them once, instead of washing them. Especially after seeing the price of detergent…lol

  • We spend about $300 for a family of 4. Biggest thing is having left overs. Most all the meats I buy we can have 4-10 plates. Eating smaller portions helps a ton. My house also gets free lunch from work/ school.

  • Her tips are stupid! I’m not spending $10 on 1lb of meat when I can buy 10lbs for $10. I stock up on meat when It’s $1 per lb. Also she’s not centering her meals around what’s on sale. I have saved $1,000s just buy watching LIVING ON A DIME. Check them out, they’re 1000 times better then this girl. The people behind Living on a Dime spends $300 for 6 people.

  • I love this guy I’m probably just bias because we hail from the great state of Massachusetts, but he is one of the best doesn’t hold back such a Masshole attitude

  • Chris Rock was my favorite comedian but Bill Burrs like-minded with more grit and animaniacs surpassed. I’m recommending this to all my associates.

  • I find that buying some things by the pound or by the piece has helped me cut down on my grocery bill because I’m buying the amount of an item or items that I really need.

  • 34:32 can anybody please tell me what the hell Billy red nuts says here?
    Judging by the gulp he takes immediately after I’m guessing he doesn’t even know, but the crowd seemed to laugh at it!

  • Seasonal food doesn’t apply as much as it used to due to Globalization and greenhouses. Obviously this doesn’t apply to local farmers markets, but your big chain grocery store, can and will have a great sale on Strawberries in January. The trick is to know if the sale price is actually a good deal.

  • Just want to comment on Ibotta. Its only me but I have made $74.00 in the last year. My daughter in-law has made about $750.00 ( she bought a laptop and many other things with that money. My kids all use it and make quiet a bit of money and it is very easy to get gift cards sent to your phone or you can print in your e-mail. Also can have the money put in your paypal. Hey it’s free money for shopping what you already buy at the store.

  • I enjoy the videos, but seriously…you “don’t bake.” When you talked about the honey crisp debacle, I couldn’t help thinking that a quick google search for honey crisp recipe videos would walk you through exactly what to do. For all the advice you’re dispersing, you can’t cop out on this aspect of food purchases. Make applesauce for goodness sake and then substitute THAT for eggs and oil in muffin recipes. You save on calories, boost the nutritional value of them and create an “on the go” breakfast. If I’d only heard you say this once, I’d let it fly, but I’ve heard it in multiple videos. If you really want to save money—check out some of the artisan bread baking videos that are as easy as dumping a few ingredients in a bowl and letting them “rise” overnight. That $6 loaf of bread you usually buy can come out of your kitchen for about $1.50! Given the support you give to “learning new things”… you owe it to yourself to conquer this belief that you don’t bake when learning a few tips can further enhance your own budget and financial awareness. Suggestions: Artisan breads with Steve or Jenny can cookboth have numerous videos on all kinds of cooking. Steve’s a little different, but his bread recipes are perfect! Jenny’s entertaining and spot on with her recipes too. Check them out…if you can cook, you can bake!

  • I cry with laughter everytime I watch this, but Bill should have ended his set at 102:20. Just a thank you good night and people wouldn’t know what hit them

  • Gates is so rich that an average American spending $1 is similar to Gates spending $1.06 million..��
    (The median net worth of an average U.S. household is $97,300..
    Dividing $104 billion by $97,300 comes to about $1.06 million)

  • BILL BURR’S GREATEST PERFORMANCE EVER! He was absolutely on fire that evening from beginning to end. When you can make an entire audience give you a standing ovation, give you the respect that you worked for, respect that you deserve and ALL of them show you love, that’s a performance people will be watching and “Share(ing)” for future generations long after he’s gone. Just one man’s opinion.
