There was some apples on sale for 68 cents a lb. I grabbed the the right serving for a apple and payed like two dollars and something for like 8 or 10 apples. Even with grapefruits( the big ones). You only need to eat half of one for a serving. Thanks for the post. A lot of people would benefit from this. P.S: I love your channel, i get lots of good ideas to save money on food:)
@kimmyhug5 ~ Thanks! Glad to know the tip is going to come in handy!!
Best Blessings!

Thanks so much for this tip! I’ll be counting my bags for now on.
@Oreocremerocks ~ I LOVE the ‘use up the odds-n-ends’ recipes! They are the BEST of surprises! Nice tip for a healthy marinade in seconds.
@Oreocremerocks ~ sounds yummy!!! On to part deux… (o:
Part Deux: You know how things usually go, when you try to cook for one instead of the usual army, you find you have a little this or that, that’s not enough to use until you get to the next can and can combine them . Well I was feeling lazy one night, and I saw that little bit of juice concentrate mocking me from the freezer door. I pulled it and let it thaw to thick syrupy consistency, and brushed that and some spices on the chicken I was cooking that night. Instant 8hr marination in seconds=)
Seeing the apples made me realize I forgot to share one of my favorite rice / juice tips. I scour the ads for that perfect sale and stock up on the frozen concentrates. Then if I find myself cooking for only one, I can make a single serving of rice, and use the concentrate to flavor it to taste, instead of making a full batch. TBC
@gardnerfamily90 – YAY! It does my heart good to hear that a little tid-bit I’ve passed on is being helpful to you! Thank you for the encouraging words!!!
More tips to come in the future….I have only 54 on here now…I need more!
Best Blessings!

I bought red delicious and granny smith apples and counted them very carefully! They are lasting much longer than usual. Keep the great tips coming!
@Pippilly Hi Pip!
Editing is the bane of my existance!! All I know how to do is chop off the front where I’m clearing my throat or talking to someone and chop off the end where I make the camera jiggle while I shut it off! (o:
Sad skills I know.
I’ll get better with time…I miss my son!
@Mingowildcat – Glad you liked the tip! Thanks for the comment!

I’ve been buying groceries for a long, long time and I had never thought of it as price per serving. I do weigh pre-packaged bags of produce occasionally, but now I will consider how many items are in the bag, too. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip.
The “an” apple bit was funny. I do the same thing nowadays. I never used to know the difference until I started studying the free onlie courseware from Purdue University. Were we taught that in grade school? If we were, I certainly forgot.
Ooooh, now that’s a good tip! I have a lot of mouths to feed and it is just so much simpler to dole out a whole fruit than cut it up. I don’t mind the ‘no face’ videos. There are a few other people I subscribe to that do that and it doesn’t distract me at all. I’m baaaaad at setting up cameras too.
Great tip, thanks!
If you don’t have a tripod, you can set your camera up on a table, or stack some books to get some height. Do you know how to edit?
Nice to see a video from you = )

Right on… Perfect…
Oh! Great tip!!! The added benefit is that we will eat less calories at lunch time. Thank you!
Yes but this one goes to 11….
Thanks for the tip! Every 5 pound bag of potatoes for example, arent always 5 pounds. some are 4.5, some are 5.5. I always weigh at the produce section.
Good tip!
