I've missed your videos. I love playing games with them.... What would I do with the items you chose. Thank you for the incentive to strive to eat well, and stay in ones budget! Beans and Rice and Jesus Christ 📖

I love these. I would purchase items at the Walmart. I would purchase a bottle of cooking oil for $1.25 at Dollar Tree. I would also get a box of shelf stable milk for $1.25. Canister of instant oats Knorr SOPA chicken vegetable Knorr SOPA tomato /elbows Applesauce Canned 5 ounce chicken Canned 5 ounce diced ham Canned mixed vegetables Bag of rice 1 pound One can of chili flavor beans 1 box of cheap Mac and Cheese Recipes Magic Oatmeal cookies made from 1/2 cup applesauce and 1 cup oats. Make dough bake at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes. This would be snack or breakfast. I am not sure about total servings. Overnight oats using milk and applesauce is another breakfast option. I am not sure about servings. I would use the tomato elbow SOPA but combine it with the can of chili flavor beans for an easy Chili Mac = 4 servings I would combine the chicken vegetable SOPA with the can of chicken for a chicken vegetable soup = 3 servings I would make the Mac and Cheese using a little milk and the canned 5 ounce diced ham for extra protein = 3 servings I would make some of the rice and add the canned mixed vegetables for a vegetable fried rice. I would use some oil to fry it and add an Asian sauce packet from my packet drawer. = 4 servings I hope this helps someone.

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Hey there. Thanks Em!

[@frugalcampermama]

Great to see you’re back! Here’s my scenario. My total comes to $19.80 at my local Walmart. 1 loaf wheat bread 1 blueberry muffin mix (I’d just add water) 1 lb brown rice 1 can of each - seasoned black beans, corn, mixed veg, diced potatoes, diced tomatoes, cannellini beans, pork & beans, corned beef hash, Vienna sausages, baked beans, 2 cans of chicken breast, 1 can tuna. I box Mac & cheese shells 1 16oz box shells Breakfast 3 days of muffins 3 days beans on toast 1 day corned beef hash & potatoes w/toast Lunch 2 days corned beef hash with potatoes & toast 2 days black bean, corn & tomato salad 2 days Vienna sausage & beans 1 day chicken, rice, beans, tomato Dinner 2 days pasta fagioli 2 days tuna Mac (using some additional shells) 2 days chicken fried rice 1 day chicken, beans, rice & tomato

[@alexandermonzon8165]

Love all these ideas and I'm taking them into.account and noting what I can already use I need ideas and numbers how many Cans I really need to purchase for a Family of five

[@sherrysawyer6819]

Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🌟❤️🎄 Hope you are well. Sure miss your videos.

[@btolson66]

That is an impressive haul nowadays with the cost of everything. I think I would do tortillas instead of crackers but you definitely have more servings per box. I would make tortilla chips and strips, roll ups and no cheese quesadilla. I would never have thought to grab the salmon. I loved this! I was also happy to see this vlog because you hadn't been coming up in my feed. You always are so helpful and great inspiration. Tortillas, peanuts or mixed nuts, lentils canned tomatoes with pepper and onion, rice.

[@feliciaharbach610]

I swapped out a few items and using WM online pricing, came up with $19.79 in food bill. Instead of quinoa, I'd go with flour ($2.34) to make pancakes, pasta and tortillas. I did include DT pricing for small bottle of oil at $1.25. I swapped out peas for chick peas at WM price 78 cents. I can use the liquid aquafaba as an egg substitute as binder in pancake batter and salmon patties. Also can add salmon into noodles for a skillet dinner. I swapped spinach for Del monte mix vegs at $1.48. Small can of crush pineapple 6 oz for $1.28 and 8 count of Knorr chicken bouillion cubes for $1.08. I may make fried rice with pineapple and mix vegs (and use rest of the mix vegs in pot of soup) and raid my packet drawer for soy sauce. I'd add the remaining crushed pineapple to the salmon patties and peanut butter/pineapple tortilla lunch wraps. Pineapple juice can be made into a syrup for the pancakes. Looking forward to your next food budget video!

Times are getting tough we gotta work.with what we got sometimes especially with these prices and us all.living paycheck to paycheck...

[@lakishamitchusson6368]

Good to hear from you. I enjoy hearing your thoughts on living from the pantry. Have a good day!

[@greensarah2059]

Are you okay? I miss your videos and was just thinking of you and your channel. Happy New Year and lots of hugs!

[@redpetronious]

Hope you are having a good holiday and doing well.

[@Growstuff70]

So excited to see this video- QT! These videos are so creative and helpful. My suggestion- even if you are not on an extreme budget, have these items on hand. I know having a little stash in my pantry brings me comfort,

[@agodlyhome]

Great ideas. Hope your doing well my friend ❤

[@Authorthings]

Oddly enough at my Walmart, the 1lb bag is cheaper than the 4lb bad (per ounce). So I bought 4 1lb bags instead of the big bag...

[@cindye2423]

Your back! You really made my day when the notification popped up! Your my favorite! 🌻

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Thank you, Cindy. You are one of my fave ladies!

[@gracekoehler4434]

Wic gives me $52 for fresh or frozen fruits and veggies, 32 oz of approved cereal, 2 small jars of peanut butter or 2 lbs of beans, 1 lb cheese, 24 eggs, 1 quart of yogurt, 3 containers of frozen juice concentrate, 1 package of corn tortillas or a 16oz loaf of whole wheat bread or 1 box of whole wheat pasta, 5 1/2 gallons of milk (or powdered equivalent per month. I would love ideas on how to stretch this, new recipes, etc. Thought it might make a good game video for you since I love those.

[@Authorthings]

Miss your videos!! ❤️ Hope you had a good Christmas and New Year!!

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

You too!!

@@TheQuaintHousewife Ty!!

[@EleanorRoseRyan]

YAY! Love when you share these types of videos, and your ideas, too!!!

[@dinahsoar6982]

I love your healthy ideas...I'm not sure what I'd do with $20 a week..

[@ennyschlaghecke4516]

Thank you for the good ideas ! I wrote your ingredients down and I will give it a try. I asume that I will not eat a whole package of rice, so I will buy some bananas or apples to eat with the peanutbuttercrackers. Many greetings from the Netherlands, Enny.

[@Authorthings]

Hi there! You're back!!

[@amber7253]

Wow I never thought of some of these ! Thanks for the ideas 😊

[@HomeLifewithRebecca]

Love your videos. Missed you ❤ you do such an amazing job ❤

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Missed you too. Hope you are holding up okay during this time of mourning 🌺🌷🌸

[@rennierad]

Good day beautiful, Great items for your pantry.👌 Have a lovely fall weekend. ❤💕🌻

[@hazelscobbie8290]

Wow thats not a lot of food for $20 that really surprised me.

[@RR-hb7nj]

Considering it's pretty healthy food I'd say that's a lot for $20.

[@hazelscobbie8290]

I wasn't being rude I was just genuinely surprised. I shop mostly at lidl and a big bag of potatoes is 99p carrots 56p, onions 65p, cabbage 60p, big bag of porridge 99p, lentils 80p. I know it varies depending upon where the shop is so I know some people will get less in other areas.

[@hazelscobbie8290]

I didnt say it wasnt good I just was surprised at how little it was. It was a real eye opener because I thought the prices here were bad.

[@teresamoore3671]

@@hazelscobbie8290what would you say you could buy this food for? I just checked and 20 dollars is £16.50. I’m in UK too but have a specific diet so I wasn’t sure about the price difference. Americans apparently have other things cheaper like taxes, utility bills and car fuel. I was speaking to an American that moved to the UK and she says living expenses pretty much work out the same, it’s just we pay different prices for various things. X Edit to add pink salmon £3.36 so $4.07, organic quinoa £3.99 so $4.84, so America is cheaper there, can you add any prices you know just for comparison 😊

[@teresamoore3671]

@@LOVEGAIA1111honestly I don’t think it is, I know the pink salmon and quinoa is is more expensive in the uk. I’ll just have a check and try and do a comparison. So it took a bit of doing converting grams to lbs but here it is, I did Asda Walmart and selected their own brand which is probably cheapest, UK prices. Rice £2.26, lentils £1.72, peanut butter £1.99, pink salmon £3.36, quinoa £3.99, canned peas 38p, tomato sauce, we call Passata 95p, crushed tomatoes, we call chopped tomatoes £1.09, multi grain crackers £1.94. Total £17.68. That is $21.44 cents. I’m not sure why people always say it’s cheaper here.

[@amber7253]

Already watched this but wanted to stop in and say hello I hope your doing great. Miss our conversations in the comments.

[@TheQuaintHousewife]
