mamasara |
oh yes, Hi |

12:17:56 |
mamasara |
Glad someone finally showed... I think maybe we are
confused as to the time? I always thought it was 10am
right after the Homeschool chat |
|
12:18:12 |
mamasara |
How are you this morning? |
|
12:19:02 |
kaylasmama |
HI...Good, thanks |
|
12:19:17 |
kaylasmama |
It's pretty clear to me what time it starts ;) |

slow??? Don't know anyhow, I have some things to chat

12:21:49 |
mamasara |
Hello Wiefamily! Thanks for dropping by |
|
12:21:49 |
ourwiefamily |
cool ... that's what I was looking for. :) |
|
12:22:03 |
ourwiefamily |
my name is Karla in case you haven't seen me in other
chats. |
|
12:22:16 |
mamasara |
Okay, I'm Sara |
|
12:22:17 |
ourwiefamily |
I'm mum to six kids ages 14 down to 11mo, so I am very
interested in this topic! |
|
12:22:26 |
mamasara |
Excellent |
|
12:22:38 |

1. Make a Food Budget |
|
12:23:10 |
mamasara |
I.E. if you shop for your family 1x per week divide your
food budget by 4 (400/4 = 100/week ) |
|
12:24:05 |
ourwiefamily |
I am curious ... how big are your families and how much
do you spend on groceries per month? What is your goal
amount? |
|
12:24:12 |
mamasara |
2. Plan meals and snacks for your family each week |
|
12:24:42 |
mamasara |
Well, we have a family of 4 and our budget is anywhere
between 200 - 400 month depending on the income (income
varies) |
|
12:25:00 |
kaylasmama |
Hi Karla and Sara...I'm Jill, mommy to DD, Kayla who is
13.5 months |
|
12:25:17 |
kaylasmama |
We spend $60 a week...but lately, trying to spend less.
SO hard |
|
12:25:21 |
mamasara |
Some weeks are pretty scarce... I have 2 boys and a
hubby LOL |
|
12:25:46 |
mamasara |
Hi Jill! With a wee one it is a bit easier as they can
just drink mama's milk |
|
12:26:02 |
kaylasmama |
Yah...but she is starting to eat 2-3 meals a day |
|
12:26:02 |
mamasara |
Does your family eat out a lot? |
|
12:26:07 |
kaylasmama |
No...we NEVER eat out |
|
12:26:11 |
kaylasmama |
can't afford it! |
|
12:26:59 |
mamasara |
You let her eat from your food stock right? Or do you
make her food ? |
|
12:27:49 |
mamasara |
3. Make a shopping list include your coupons that you
use (product exp date) |
|
12:27:52 |
kaylasmama |
She eats our food sometimes, but mostly I make her
something...right now she's only interested in fruit.
*) |
|
12:28:06 |
kaylasmama |
AND we only eat organic...tough!!! |
|
12:28:30 |
mamasara |
fruit is great! Organic is Super! She is off to a
fantastic start. |
|
12:28:36 |
kaylasmama |
yeo |
|
12:28:44 |
kaylasmama |
oops..meant Yep |
|
12:28:45 |
kaylasmama |
;) |
|
12:28:46 |
mamasara |
Do you belong to a local food-coop |
|
12:29:01 |
kaylasmama |
so..I was just answering Karla's question about how big
our family is and how much we spend |
|
12:29:05 |
mamasara |
Hellow Lelia this is the Family Budgeting Topic |
|
12:29:19 |
kaylasmama |
Trying to get a membership, but it's not fitting into
our budget right now |
|
12:29:19 |
Lelia |
Yay! I found the right room! |
|
12:29:37 |
kaylasmama |
Hi lelia! |
|
12:29:42 |
Lelia |
hi! |
|
12:29:47 |
ourwiefamily |
where are you located, Kayla? |
|
12:29:48 |
mamasara |
Try to maybe split a membership with another family...
We did this in the beginning with my folks |
|
12:30:23 |
kaylasmama |
Hi Karla..my name is Jill :) We're in Santa Barbara.... |
|
12:30:40 |
ourwiefamily |
lol ... sorry ... just noticed it's Kayla's mom. oops |
|
12:30:46 |
Lelia |
how does one find a food coop? |
|
12:30:52 |
kaylasmama |
ya ;) no worries! |
|
12:30:52 |
mamasara |
Santa Barbara... they have a nice farmers market... are
you close to that? |
|
12:31:04 |
ourwiefamily |
azure standard is worth looking into depending on your
location ... not sure how far south they go. |
|
12:31:16 |
mamasara |
google CSA I believe Let me check if that works |
|
12:31:17 |
kaylasmama |
oh yaaaa..and we have 3 farms to shop from too....lots
of options...but they all cost the same.. |
|
12:31:40 |
kaylasmama |
we spend most of our money on produce ;) |
|
12:32:08 |
kaylasmama |
Hi Penny and Ruth! |
|
12:32:13 |
mamasara |
Yes, that is the case here too but it is our main staple
except for rice |
|
12:32:20 |
mamasara |
Hello Ladies |
|
12:32:28 |
kaylasmama |
yah....us too |
|
12:32:41 |
ourwiefamily |
penny and ruth are in a different room from us |
|
12:32:45 |
mamasara |
Do you ladies eat meat, chicken, turkey, fish? If so how
do you save on these? |
|
12:32:53 |
ourwiefamily |
yes... we are meat eaters |
|
12:33:02 |
kaylasmama |
wow Karla..just saw how many kids you have |
|
12:33:08 |
Lelia |
we eat chicken sometimes |
|
12:33:18 |
kaylasmama |
Good on ya |
|
12:33:22 |
kaylasmama |
(Karla) |
|
12:33:24 |
ourwiefamily |
best way to save on beef is to buy part of a cow direct
from a farmer ... best way to save on chicken is to buy
from Amish (those tend to be organic or close to it even
if not certified) |
|
12:33:25 |
mamasara |
Large family... Karla... how much to you spend a month
on your family ? |
|
12:33:28 |
Lelia |
I'd like to buy some fish - husband doesn't like it |
|
12:34:02 |
Lelia |
where do you find amish? I know they are in PA> |
|
12:34:06 |
ourwiefamily |
or Mennonite ... I think there are Mennonites around
here that sell. Big chickens for like $5 each so
cheaper than local grocery and tastes WAY better |
|
12:34:59 |
ourwiefamily |
we found out through the grapevine. Typically, if you
ask around at places like LLL or a local natural foods
store or homeschoolers, someone knows how to find them |
|
12:35:01 |
mamasara |
fresh chicken is So much better you'll never go back to
store bought... I lived in MO for a while and they were
both Amish/Mennonite we shopped at their store all
fresh/organic (not certified) |
|
12:35:12 |
ourwiefamily |
Another way to save is to buy milk straight from the
dairy |
|
12:35:33 |
mamasara |
Where do you live? (farm country?) |
|
12:35:55 |
ourwiefamily |
we are in ND ... but I know lots of people that work
this out in larger cities. |
|
12:35:57 |
mamasara |
I never thought about any of those but I guess that
makes sense... We do the veggie/fruit from the farms |
|
12:36:04 |
Lelia |
I am in jersey city nj |
|
12:36:23 |
Lelia |
I'm in an urban area |
|
12:37:14 |
kaylasmama |
Wow...never thought of fresh chicken. DUH! Good
idea..I'll have to check around here... |
|
12:37:22 |
ourwiefamily |
if you look in the phone book for dairies on the
outskirts of town, there might be some ... and if they
are there, they may have it set up so they deliver into
the city if there is a group interested |
|
12:37:30 |
ourwiefamily |
same thing with buying the other meats |
|
12:37:36 |
kaylasmama |
huh...cool. Thanks Karla |
|
12:37:54 |
ourwiefamily |
Like the mennonite chickens come from several hours
away, but one person goes out there, picks them up, then
they can be picked up at that person's home |
|
12:38:41 |
ourwiefamily |
well ... sadly, we aren't doing any of this right now. |
|
12:38:49 |
ourwiefamily |
but we used to and it was awesome |
|
12:39:13 |
mamasara |
urban areas still might be able to find fresh produce
and meats depending on the natural food stores around... |
|
12:39:33 |
mamasara |
http://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/csa/ is the directory for
Community Supported Agriculture You can look for a farm
near you |
|
12:39:39 |
Lelia |
that gets expensive |
|
12:39:47 |
Lelia |
ok, thanks |
|
12:39:52 |
ourwiefamily |
and the underground" natural people who have relatives
on farms far away or who have really done their
detective work on your local area. So it's finding the
right people!" |
|
12:40:08 |
mamasara |
Yes, Lelia, how big is your family and how much is the
food budget? |
|
12:40:11 |
Lelia |
I actually joined one this year but the harvest hasn't
been good this year. |
|
12:40:27 |
ourwiefamily |
undergrounders" tend to be very generous and just want
to share the good life, so they don't tend to be as
expensive as the more obvious routes" |
|
12:41:03 |
Lelia |
3 of us. we actually don't have an official budget |
|
12:41:12 |
ourwiefamily |
I'm trying to figure our food budget for the month ...
it's a little complicated. We have a family of 8. We
receive two WIC checks per month (two eligible children)
so that is about $110 at least |
|
12:41:19 |
ourwiefamily |
Then we get $400 in food stamps |
|
12:41:29 |
mamasara |
I wanted to get some ideas on how to reduce our grocery
bills right now. Some ideas I came up with are: |
|
12:41:35 |
ourwiefamily |
Then we usually pay at least another $100 over that |
|
12:41:37 |
kaylasmama |
I wish I could get my hubby to do food stamps |
|
12:41:45 |
mamasara |
1. Eliminate Junk Food |
|
12:42:01 |
mamasara |
2. Drink water or skim milk |
|
12:42:13 |
mamasara |
3. Limit Juice intake to 1/2 c serving / day |
|
12:42:25 |
mamasara |
4. Buy Whole Fruit instead of sweets |
|
12:42:53 |
mamasara |
5. Buy Bulk and freeze (like buy a package of potatoes,
cook what you need and freeze the rest) |
|
12:43:18 |
mamasara |
6. Pick your own farmers -- this is good excercise and
family time plus saves money |
|
12:43:56 |
mamasara |
7. Switch from packaged cereals to Oatmeal Saves almost
$4.00 just add some fresh fruit of 100% fruit jam for
sweetner |
|
12:44:22 |
mamasara |
8. Eat fresh veggies or grow your own (containers local
community garden etc) |
|
12:44:59 |
mamasara |
9. Save on meat by paying attention to serving size (an
active adult only needs about 7 ounces spread out over 3
meals) |
|
12:45:13 |
mamasara |
10. Don't cook more than you need |
|
12:45:30 |
mamasara |
11. Use peanut butter or another nut butter instead of
luncheon meats |
|
12:45:54 |
mamasara |
12. use rice vinegar instead of dressings and splash
dressing don't drench |
|
12:46:08 |
mamasara |
Any Ideas? |
|
12:46:10 |
ourwiefamily |
we had to do food stamps because 2.5 years ago, my baby
was in the NICU after his birth and we simply couldn't
afford our co-pay (we had ins) so we got medical
assistance and then we figured it was easy enough to add
in food stamps. So it worked out. |
|
12:46:41 |
ourwiefamily |
I have found some of those helpful, but not others. |
|
12:47:00 |
ourwiefamily |
I can give you my thoughts, if you'd like ... :) |
|
12:47:02 |
kaylasmama |
Don't eat out |
|
12:47:03 |
mamasara |
You seem to be the expert, just from experience... |
|
12:47:15 |
mamasara |
Sure Loved to hear from you |
|
12:47:27 |
kaylasmama |
Only buy what you NEED |
|
12:47:43 |
ourwiefamily |
1. Eliminate junk food doesn't work for us. When we
eliminate it, we end up craving it and then we screw up
and over spend to compensate |
|
12:47:58 |
kaylasmama |
hehehehe...we did that too |
|
12:48:07 |
ourwiefamily |
So what I started doing instead is buying healthier
snacks and scheduling them w/ lunch. |
|
12:48:44 |
mamasara |
We go out for junk food (like Icecream, we just buy the
icecream cone now and again) it makes it special for us
and we don't include it everyday or even every week |
|
12:48:52 |
ourwiefamily |
So every week, I buy 2 bags of tortilla chips, one bag
of pretzels, 1 bag of corn chips (generic fritos), 1 or
2 bags of natural cheese puffs (like cheetos but no food
dyes). |
|
12:49:23 |
ourwiefamily |
oh and I'm thoroughy addicted to Natural Cheddar Doritos
(again no food dyes) but those are a Mama treat, no
kids! |
|
12:49:38 |
mamasara |
You don't find it easier to make your own? Bake the
tortillas or corn ? |
|
12:49:47 |
ourwiefamily |
NOPE |
|
12:49:52 |
ourwiefamily |
(did you hear me yelling??? LOL) |
|
12:49:55 |
mamasara |
Time? Expense? |
|
12:50:08 |
kaylasmama |
We have the SAME snacks here Karla |
|
12:50:09 |
kaylasmama |
hehehe |
|
12:50:42 |
ourwiefamily |
Mostly time I think ... We homeschool and I need
something in my life to be simple! |
|
12:51:16 |
mamasara |
okay that makes sense... why not get the kiddos involved
in the cooking? Are they able to help out in this area? |
|
12:51:33 |
ourwiefamily |
We keep ice cream on hand at home too and we have it
like once per week (if we think of it) ... that's
cheaper and it's fun |
|
12:51:37 |
mamasara |
What do you all do for the Sweet Cravings? |
|
12:51:55 |
mamasara |
? answered LOL |
|
12:52:25 |
ourwiefamily |
we get candy at parades and such, then go through and
toss the gross stuff (we can't have artificial food
dyes), then the kids can have like one tootsie roll when
they are craving |
|
12:52:27 |
mamasara |
We can't keep ice cream here because it would be gone
quicker than you can say we've got I.C."" |
|
12:52:57 |
mamasara |
Candy is readily available everywhere sad to say |
|
12:53:15 |
ourwiefamily |
I can't have chocolate so my sweet of choice is that I
keep some of those white candy chips (for making candy)
and melt a little then dip a big ol spoon of peanut
butter in it ... YUM |

(I actually canned raspberry jam from my raspberries
this year and I am so not a homemaker type!) |
|
12:54:42 |

|
12:55:27 |
mamasara |

|
12:55:35 |

cinnamon bread sometimes. No nutritional value but
yummy! |
|
12:56:50 |

I used to ahve a great bullion but I lost the source of
it :( I've been in mourning. It was healthy and yummy
... nothing bad in it. Sigh |
|
13:01:58 |
kaylasmama |
Gotta run mommies! have a great week and thanks for the
info....see ya'll next week |
|
13:02:07 |
mamasara |
You can find a less sodium version at your local health
food store, but then if you make this fresh you can add
chicken broth |
|
13:02:34 |
Lelia |
ok, thanks |
|
13:02:47 |
mamasara |
Saucce- 2/3 cup and 2 1/2 cups water/milk |
|
13:03:07 |
mamasara |
cheese shredded and then top with bread crumbs etc... |
|
13:03:25 |
mamasara |
This is good for those leftovers and days where you
don't want to think... |
|
13:03:33 |
ourwiefamily |
my other comment on how we save money is that we buy
bread at the used" bread store ... the day old bread
store, in other words. We get really good quality, 100%
whole wheat good stuff bread for as much as $1.20 per
loaf or as little as $.60 per loaf." |
|
13:03:53 |
mamasara |
great source... |
|
13:04:00 |
ourwiefamily |
W/ the recipe, what temp do you cook at and how long?
And can you email a copy of it to interested people? I
don't know how to copy paste from the chat |
|
13:04:44 |
ourwiefamily |
but man that sounds like a good dinner for tonight
because I have totally blown it this week and not made a
menu (really mad at myself) |
|
13:04:49 |
mamasara |
Mix the ingredients (first 5) cover cook at 350 for one
hour until temp. is 165 degrees |
|
13:05:06 |
mamasara |
You can also cook stove top by |
|
13:05:12 |
ourwiefamily |
how do I know temp is 165 degrees? |
|
13:05:30 |
mamasara |
stir all ingredients including sauce in a large skillet
bring to a boil |
|
13:05:35 |
ourwiefamily |
lol ... Im a little helpless in the kitchen. I try not
to be though and one day I will conquer! LOL" |
|
13:05:57 |
mamasara |
reduce heat simmer for 30 min. (stir to prevent
sticking) |
|
13:06:14 |
mamasara |
make sure temp. is 165 (cooked for doneness) |
|
13:06:32 |
mamasara |
LOl you sound awesome mama don't knock yourself |

Excellent guide and you can customize to your shopping
habits |
|
13:07:59 |
ourwiefamily |
so do I need to use a thermometer to check the food
kinda like you check a turkey? |
|
13:08:20 |
mamasara |
Yes, |
|
13:08:43 |
mamasara |
unless you know from experience, its just safer to use a
temp. |
|
13:09:01 |
ourwiefamily |
so can you email me these instructions? Pretty please?
:) |

13:10:53 |
mamasara |
Cod about 500grams |
|
13:11:04 |
ourwiefamily |
do you mix in flour or dip it in the flour? |
|
13:11:13 |
ourwiefamily |
ummm ... I'm not a metric gal, LOL |
|
13:11:25 |
ourwiefamily |
500 grams translates to how much? |
|
13:11:27 |
mamasara |
mix into the fish after it turns to paste in the food
processor |
|
13:11:42 |

1 - 2 pieces |
|
13:11:47 |
ourwiefamily |
sounds yummy to me! |
|
13:11:56 |
mamasara |
I would think maybe 1 pound |
|
13:12:33 |
mamasara |
You can spice it up a bit too for the adults by adding
some curry paste |
|
13:12:36 |
ourwiefamily |
can you use any fish? Sometimes my guys go fishing and
well, I'm never sure what to do w/ it. I think fish is
ICKY. *I'm* the one who likes fish fingers, LOL |
|
13:13:11 |
mamasara |
LOL sure I would think so, Cod is just a very big staple |
|
13:13:45 |
mamasara |
For those who can't eat wheat just use 2 eggs instead of
the flour |
|
13:14:22 |
Lelia |
is wheat flour ok? |
|
13:14:48 |
mamasara |
Yes, but people on a gluten free diet usually are
allergic |
|
13:15:34 |
ourwiefamily |
interesting |
|
13:15:40 |
Lelia |
I mean as opposed to white flour |
|
13:15:59 |
ourwiefamily |
yes, wheat flour should prob be fine though you may want
to experiiment by using whole wheat pastry flour |
|
13:16:06 |
ourwiefamily |
if the reg ww is too heavy, I mean |
|
13:16:18 |
ourwiefamily |
We used to use ww pastry flour in so many things. |
|
13:16:41 |
ourwiefamily |
have you used it? |
|
13:16:44 |
mamasara |
YOu can sneak in squash if you buy Spaghetti Squash...
Just take 1/2 squash Tahini to taste sea salt, lemon
juice and garlic Mix in the food processor add tahini
1/4 lemon juice and salt (great topping) or substitue
any squash, chick peas, etc.... |
|
13:17:21 |
ourwiefamily |
you mean sneak squash into the fish sticks? |
|
13:17:25 |
ourwiefamily |
(sorry confused) |
|
13:17:28 |
Lelia |
no, I haven't |
|
13:17:35 |
mamasara |
We use organic flour that is wheat free (no reason) just
do it works fine |
|
13:17:52 |
ourwiefamily |
ww pastry flour is ww but it is lighter and better for
quick breads, cookies, that kind of thing. |
|
13:18:06 |
mamasara |
LOL no as a veggie or as a topping on a pasta dish |
|
13:18:17 |
ourwiefamily |
it's the difference between using hard winter wheat and
spring wheat somehow. Different gluten content, if I'm
remembering right. |
|
13:18:19 |
Lelia |
ah, thanks. I like the idea of sneaking in veggies |
|
13:18:23 |
ourwiefamily |

suddenly ended up w/ picky kids again. *) |
