Asian groceries are my go-to. They have better produce and fish, and I can get rice in larger, cheaper bags, for example. I just have to be disciplined and keep saying "I have that sauce at home." LOL
I always look for smart ways to save money, and discount are one of the easiest win. Many people don't realize how often brands drop special deals, promo codes, or limited-time offers. It really helps to compare prices, wait for sales, and check trusted coupons website before buying any thing . Even small discounts add up over time, especially on every item. I also like signing up for newsletter because stores sometimes send exclusive codes. And when shopping online. Always check the cart twice to make sure I'm getting the best price. Having prom UK is a good deal
Any food that you buy that had already been work on will double the cost. For example watermelon. You pay a lot for little bit if you buy pre-chopped. Also cooked food at grocery store. So do everything yourself. Even if it's peeling garlic. Or peel shrimp. or chop mushrooms.
"My price book is a small loose-leaf binder. Each page contains prices for one item, and the pages are in alphabetical order for quick reference. I include my code for the store name, the brand, the size of the item, the price, and the unit price.
It quickly became evident that not every sale was really a sale. But when I did find a good buy, and I could verify it with months of records … what power! I could stock up with confidence.
At first you may think this is too much work and the idea of shopping at so many stores will be inconceivable. It will pay off. A good strategy is to shop at different stores each week of the month so that within a 30-day cycle you can hit them all." Tightwad Gazette
In Ireland Grocerious delivery is free if your 65. I plan to do this as l know l can stay within my list by using deliveries. No queuing or stress. Perfect.
Avoid small shops. I can get 3 large jars of coffee at Lidl than local shop…cost of l jar is more than the 3 l buy at Lidl. I have no loyalty to any shop just to my finances.
Lately, I've noticed that I've been able to start saving a little more by frequently taking advantage of discounts and coupons from PromoPro UK and a few other apps. While I used to have little left over at the end of the month, I'm now able to save a little bit more and get closer to buying what I'm aiming for. If you don't use good sites that offer discounts and coupons like this, I strongly recommend you do. If you have any other suggestions for sites that offer easy discounts and coupons like this, I'd appreciate it if you could share them in the comments. I truly regret not taking advantage of these features until now.
A client told me, “I used to earn six figures and feel broke. After reading The Silent Laws of Cash Power by Cameron Solan– I realized I was just too visible.” That hit different.
At a private dinner in Singapore, surrounded by fund managers and ex-bankers, a man asked the table, “Who here’s actually read Cameron Solan?” Everyone went silent. Then one of them nodded slowly and said, “That book– The Silent Laws of Cash Power– changes how you breathe around money.” After reading it, I understood why. The book doesn’t sell dreams– it dismantles illusions. It showed me that wealth isn’t loud or emotional– it’s a system of controlled distance. The kind of distance that buys freedom.
Someone in a closed Telegram chat said, “Cameron Solan’s work isn’t about escaping the system– it’s about never triggering it.” That line stuck with me.
The price per unit is especially true with laundry detergents. In my area, the medium sized containers are often way cheaper per use than the largest sizes and forget about the smaller sizes.
I eat out a lot and I want to make food at home to save money, but I feel like it's just gets wasted if I don't eat it, or don't use all the ingredients. An idea I thought of if you're very busy during the week is to make at least one meal for the week with left overs. Or focus on making one new thing until you're really good at it. That way your focus isn't scattered. Once you get good at one thing, you can add something else to your at home menu. And over time you will start to have a few deferent home staples you can fall back on.
Oh god I'm so cheap I steal leaves from neighbours yards to compost them so I don't have to buy soil for my garden…then use seeds from what I grew last year, rain water collected in barrels instead of tap water and grow as much as I can with the space that I have (including in barrels on the driveway)….among other things I have 4 months worth salad 3 nights a week and zero brown lettuce leaves hiding in my fridge…always picked fresh. I just wish the growing season was longer where I live.
Gabe, really like this video. Sensible things you mention should be followed by all. You speak clearly and having worked in TV most of my life you have a great voice would almost think you do or could do voice overs. Look forward to more of this from you.
This is great. I used to always over spend on groceries and couldn't figure out why for some time because I don't buy expensive stuff. Ofcourse price increases added a strain but I also realized that It's the going back to the store when something runs out that finished my budget quick. Now I just go without for the rest of the week if something finishes before the week ends.
Get a freezer and some canning jars. Raise or grow some of your food and buy in season from farmers or homesteaders. If you buy a whole lamb for example you can get it for $4 – $6 per pound instead of $20. Same with fruit and veg. And the producer gets the money instead of middle men. Put food away when it is in season to feed you when it is not.
Part of this for me is a time vs cost metric as well. If the prepackage saves me 30 minutes, to me that is worth the extra expense as I greatly value my time. I just buy when they are on sale or in bulk.
I recently discovered you’re a Christian and you’re from Sac Town! Amazing! Your channel keeps getting better. California burritos are great and I haven’t tried that spot yet. Will have to soon.
Shredded/cut cheese: check the price per weight first! Funnily enough at most stores were I live the shredded cheese is cheaper because they stock up uncut cheese that's way higher quality and higher price. I'm talking cheese like parmigiano reggiano, grana padano, gran moravia etc. here. It taught me to check prices per kg everywhere even when I buy something only once a month.
I do a lot of cooking from scratch, I have a large garden, I dehydrate and can my produce, I have herbs. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, more than I would like I cook for my dog so she gets a good food plus any food that I have that are leftovers are scraps that we aren’t going to eat go to her she’s a 14 year-old black labso I want her to be healthy as long as possible. It takes a lot of time but you can save a lot of money if you do things yourself.
Agree with everything but grocery delivery. Not only is there is a fee, they don’t pick the produce with as much care, plus you don’t necessarily get all the sale prices.
What I would add:
Build a pantry with everything you use on a regular basis, including proteins. I buy all animal proteins in bulk when they are sales, portion them, vacuum seal and freeze.
Once you’ve built your pantry, your weekly shopping is the replenish your pantry with items when they are sale in addition to fresh produce and milk. Also, pay attention to what produce is in season.
Shop two competing grocery chains. In my area that means Kroger and Albertsons / Vons. They are typically in close proximity to each others (mine are literally across the street) and both have weekly sales, digital coupons and loyalty programs. Grocery stores put just about everything on sale in cycles. I routinely save 40% or more weekly with this strategy plus I save $1 per gallon on gas by maxing out my loyalty points by shopping on Fridays (Kroger 4x points.)
Costco! There are certain things that Costco beats everyone on, and then they have monthly coupon books that up the savings. We have a list of items that we buy from Costco only when they go on sale as well — huge savings.
Last but not least Rotisserie Chicken. The multitasker game changer. Easy and tasty and often on sale as well. As a household of two, we typically get two or even three meals f on a rotisserie chicken. And if you are a family with kids, the Costco rotisserie chicken is huge and $5.99.

But don't forget to factor in gas prices. If you have to drive farther to get to a cheaper store, chances are you've wssted your time
When I find products 50% off I stock up and freeze it. Especially meat and cheese.
Also, frozen vegetables are good.
Vary the protein source. Once a week use quinoa
Absolute crap from this 🤡. Wasted time.
Asian groceries are my go-to. They have better produce and fish, and I can get rice in larger, cheaper bags, for example. I just have to be disciplined and keep saying "I have that sauce at home." LOL
good for families. Your eating chemicals , like maltodextrin , starches of every kind.
I eat organic and gluten free so I’m soooo thankful for aldi and grocery outlet

I could listen to this all day.
This video was so helpful! I’ve been looking for practical ways to save money on my food shopping, and these tips are exactly what I needed.
I tried choosing grocery stores wisely and buying in bulk — it really made a big difference.
The way you explained everything was easy to understand and motivating.
I’ll definitely use these hacks from now on, thank you for sharing!

I stopped eating rice because of the arsenic it contains
FBI how about my bail money be how much interest I will charge on one lie you said one day in 7 years in one minute 😊

Thanks to the third obama term, the prices are so high. But, the democrats are for the working people ?

Batch cook and buy a chest freezer..
fruit is overrated

Excellent points
HAHA 28% in last 5 years? Um NO , at least 150% bro
Aldi ❤
5:15 is craaaaazy
4:24 is so counter to the rest of your video. $12 a meal is not "cheap"
2:27 This works very well. You'll know exactly how much you're going to spend ahead of time.
I make a couple exceptions though. One sweet thing and one easy ready meal, but that's it.
Check how much per kilo to compare prices

that's really interesting about the eyes on the cartoons on the cereal boxes, that it is done that way for kids, I had no idea

It's the value of the dollar that has gone down
Actually the value of the dollar has gone down so it takes more to buy the same thing
28% in 5 years wow. In my country they go 20-40% every year for last 4 years…
I know that replacing meat would be very cheap but I don’t want toooo
I do a lot of cooking from scratch, I have a large garden, I dehydrate and can my produce, I have herbs. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, more than I would like I cook for my dog so she gets a good food plus any food that I have that are leftovers are scraps that we aren’t going to eat go to her she’s a 14 year-old black labso I want her to be healthy as long as possible.
