*REALISTIC* EASY MEAL PLAN for BUSY FAMILY // BUDGET TIME & MONEY

I was clapping for you with these deals!! Win !!!

I'm glad to see a real video

I don't wash my pool towel each time. It's not really dirty - just wet. So I hang it to dry for the next time. Saves resources 🙂❤

Love your videos. My son swims aswell. Never have enough towels with 2 practices a day😅

Who would’ve ever dreamed that $1.99 would be a good deal on apples? Wow things have gotten so ridiculous.!

Mindy and family have a great week have fun thanks from Oklahoma

Is there a video for your orzo recipe?

I love generic, but one time I bought aldi brand brownie mix, and it was DISGUSTING. I can usually eat anything and hate wasting, but it went straight in the trash.

I love whole Milk. Target milk tastes delicious

how are the prices in the grocery store. Are masks still required. Live overseas but still usually wear my masks in public spaces.

Great video. Just for advice on the detergent, why dont you just get a big pack of roma powder detergent. It works good with clothes. Should be around $9. Which state are you from

Ha! Schnoz berries! This was a great video showing real life punting! We cook at least 6 nights a week. Leftovers are eaten the next day by my husband (and sometimes me if there are enough!). As our kids get older (5 kids ages,16-6), we are doubling most recipes and that is adding up! My husband and 3 oldest kids hunt/fish and that can be a big help to our grocery budget! I appreciate all your honesty and hard work putting these tips together along with linking the videos to your delicious recipes! Smiles, Abby Smith

First time watching for me. Very good. I loved this.

Do you use cold water?

I'm so saddened Reasor's removed all their in-store coffee grinders! You were once able to grind Topeca at the store before you checked out.

For your laundry what do you recommend for drying and making sure your clothes don’t come out wrinkled? Do you use any stain removers?

I cook 6 nights a week including repurposing leftovers. Rarely do take out, but if I'm not feeling well or schedule is too crazy... $20 at little caesars and we get lunch out of it too 😂

Blue Bell Cookie Two Step is mine and my husbands absolute favorite ice cream!!

How long does it take you to go through 1 gallon of milk? Or don't you really like it? I am 1 person & it depends on if I am home or not; but normally gone in a few days.

We used to sell Walking Tacos during the intermissions of our musicals when I was in high school! But we cut our chip bags down the long side to make it easier to put toppings in and eating easier 😄

I'm partial to Duncan Hines because that's what we used when I was a child. And I made my first cake with Duncan Hines when I was 12. So good

lactose free milk, taste like normal milk but i can usely have it in the friedge for 2-4 week unopen and around 3 weeks open

I like the store brands

I have been making the Viral Smash Burgers , so good .

I live in the Interior of BC Canada and we have an abundance of fruit orchards so I get Honey Crisp for $1 a pound . We also have Cherry,peaches and the heart of Asparagus growers , I just put up 20 pounds of pickled asparagus.

I made Lemon bars with an Angel Food mix and one large can of Lemon pie filling , oh my so good . Mix well put in to a large Pyrex 11x15 , I used the smaller 9x13 and it expands so much I will use the larger , also Grease extremely well then go over again as mine stuck . It will fall after it cools . Dust with icing sugar before serving. So good .

How do you make the filling mix for the chicken wraps

This is definitely the kinds of videos I’ve been looking for instead of those extreme meals!

Hi See Mindy Mom. The oddest thing... I left a question in the comment section about earthbreeze and it has disappeared. I did go ahead and order some and did get 40% off but I am perplexed as to why I can't find my question in this comment section anymore. Do you delete comments and/or questions?

YES YES to the ground chuck!!! WOW, what is going on with cows these days? I haven't seen ground beef for less than $3.49 a pound in South Florida unless it's the 73% in a chub. Even then, it's still $2.99.

Same. I plan for 5 nights a week, left overnight, pizza night. Although with the insane cost of having a family pizza night these days (usually about $75) we’ve started making our own to cut it down to twice a month and hopefully get down to just once a month. It’s more a treat for myself than the kids because it means no cooking 😂

Hey mindy I’m a 53yr old home maker that has to make lunch and dinner everyday of the week 52 weeks of the yr except for the rare BK take out one night of the month. Me and my hubby can’t work and we have to have someone take me shopping for the month one night a month. Any ideas for something quick. And did I mention I’m a type 1 diabetic and my hubby doesn’t like soups or stews or chili or spicy foods. I’m an old fashion type cook and I love to use leftovers. Please help! Thanks mindy. I look forward to ur shows!

I love this video and would appreciate a weekly sale ad meal plan video.

Loved showing the process of finding the meals at the grocery store based in the ad- and perfect timing for the end of the year . Thanks Mindy!

i use my magic bullet to blend my coffee beans. I love your video, so much variety

Yummy 😋😊

Next time through the corn on the grill, in the husk, and let it cook with the burgers. So yummy 😋

Honestly we dont buy cake mixes, way too much sugar for our bodies 😂

We call leftover nights “choose your own adventure” 😉

Mindy, when I use a store brand cake mix, I prefer the great value from Walmart. I usual add a small box of instant pudding to the cake mix along with 4 eggs and one cup of water and 1 stick of butter or margarine(softened). Bake as on the box for the pan that you are using.

As a single person who has a difficult time eating, I often eat out.

Circa $11 plus tip when I do so for dinner, but feeds me 2+ days plus often has even more leftovers I donate at work and provides me with food from coworkers in return.

A few breakfast items as I am a big breakfast fan. So perhaps about $5 - $7 per day total. I often do Bisquick pot pie or chicken broccoli casserole at work. I mostly eat breakfast and lunch so eating at work is good.

Biggest thing for me is to have the sale items on hand at work and to use them before they expire.

Much of the reason for this habit is just being tired.

I cook between 4 & 6 dinners a week. My parent's do sushi take out every week (much cheaper than the 3 date nights they'd do 10 years ago!) but I often take leftovers for lunch so I don't always have enough for a clean out the fridge night. Also I sometimes cook in bulk so there are meals in the freezer & only cook 4 times a week. It definitely varies & I try to plan a head.

My Reasor’s didn’t have the $1.97 ground beef 😱

300 mls of hot boiled water. Sorry for watching too much TV when trying to write the recipe down

1 pk jelly, 1/2 pint (500 mls ), boiled water , 1 tin rice pudding or 1 tin of custard, 2 tins of fruit. make jelly with hot boiled water make sure that all the jelly has melted then add the rice pudding or custard (whisk with electric hand whisk) then chop fruit in to small bits and add to the bowl. put it in the fridge and leave to set for a few hours or over night. then serve.

Aldi brand cake mixes are the superior in my eyes!!

Your fam did such a lovely charcuterie meal! Go kids and hubs!!!
