Because of these videos, I froze some tortillas before they went bad and when I pulled them out to thaw, they were as good and pliable as if they were fresh. Thank you so much for all the tips you provide us!

[@FrugalFitMom]

Great to hear!

[@dfjulesful]

It's best to freeze them on the day of purchase. You can microwave them individually as needed

[@mimi0424]

I had a bunch of them one time & saw a video where they cut them up and put a bit of salt on each side and baked in the oven. they were delicious! I was so glad I didn't waste them. there's many videos on it too.

[@penny4urthoughts106]

I freeze packages all the time. They're great because they're already flat and take up so little space in the freezer and so versatile.

[@goshenqueen]

You can freeze tortillas?! Mine ALWAYS go bad!

[@LindseyLF1990]

Gnocchi that has been baked as part of a sheetpan dinner is amazing. Some cubed up butternut squash, red onion wedges, broccoli and the gnocchi (no boiling needed) drizzled with a few tbsp of melted butter mixed with sage, salt and pepper. Roasted together for about 35 minutes at 425 and the gnocchi is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Add some diced chicken or kielbasa and it's a complete meal.

I recently started working at a dollar tree in TN because things are really getting hard. I watch your food and DT videos to give me ideas and what to look for. I am trying to stretch my 20.00 food assistance card as far as it will go. Maybe you could throw in a "what to buy at DT for 20.00 a month to go as far as possible" lol

[@Journeylivin]

What I would do is buy rice and eggs to make a fried rice. You can purchase the pancake mix and syrup for breakfast, bread pb and j is good for sandwiches, those frozen veggies with a little oil and seasoning is a good side and I honestly think geting those 5lb bags of chicken quarters at Walmart or your local grocery store is best.

[@VoodooCrab]

When I sold Girl Scout cookies back in the 70s door to door, they were $1.25 a box. I would lug them around the neighborhood in a cardboard box with plastic handles. The neighbors loved them too. Dave, does "good and flaming" mean that you catch your marshmallow on fire and then blow it out? I like to toast my marshmallows until they are warm and squishy on the inside and then I catch them on fire and, pretty quickly, blow it out. I like just a slight char flavor! So good!

[@reneedominguez3633]

When I was a Girl Scout, cookies were 50 cents a box. That was waaaaay back when the earth was flat! 🤣🤣

[@Bluemoon-sd8vp]

Their Creole seasoning. Good stuff !!! I put it on everything, too. Add it to gravy, chip dip, anything that needs more flavor.

[@mychickbadd123]

I love gnocchi! My favorite way to eat them is if you cook a braised beef (stew beef or oxtail) with onion, tomatoes, garlic, peppers, seasonings and slow cook them until it’s falling apart and has its own gravy - pan fry the gnocchi - put the meat and gravy on top of them and top with grated parm cheese and I swear it’s the best!

Definitely gonna have to check out the food at my local Dollar Trees! This may be a little off topic, but these days when things are so expensive, the tips below might help in addition to shopping at Dollar Tree for food and other items. Some Tips for 1-2 person households (or more).... I'm single/empty-nester so these work great for me. I buy 2-3 loaves of bread at one time and freeze all but one. Thaw in fridge. I do the same with Texas Toast (1 loaf) for when I get a hankering for French Toast or Breakfast Toasters ( like at Sonic, but better cuz, well, it's homemade lol When you buy hamburger or hot dog buns, take them out of the bag and put in freezer bags. I put 2 hot dog buns in one quart size bag and 1 burger bun in quart bag. Thaw in fridge. I'm in Texas so I buy the HEB Thick n Juicy frozen burger patties ( a little pricey but worth it). They don't take long to thaw so it should be ready when it's time to eat. If I only want one hot dog, leave the other in the bag and leave on counter or in pantry. Freezing them this way keeps them from spoiling and growing mold. Great for older kids when they get home from school as a snack (the hot dog) and babysitters, too, if they are going to be doing dinner for the kiddos. You can do this with tortillas, too, but I would advise taking them out of the bags and putting a piece of wax paper in between each one to make it easier to get the number out that you want. I would transfer them to a freezer bag or put back in original bag but put that in freezer bag if you want. I basically do the same with pork chops, steaks, chicken breasts. 1-2 pieces of meat (depending on size). After shopping I put them in the fridge until ready to put them in quart freezer bags. Be sure to label your bags with date bought & item(s) in the bag before you put the meat in; markers don't work well on bags with cold meat in them lol You can also season each bag of meat if desired before freezing. To thaw these meats, I get a big bowl, put the bag/s in and place a smaller heavy bowl on top and fill big bowl with water. Put in fridge. I haven't timed them, but I guarantee they thaw a LOT faster than just putting them in the fridge as is, especially pork chops and steaks. Chicken and the rolled ground beef take longer but should still be done the same day. I would put those 2 in fridge in the morning so they should be done by dinner time. I cook my chicken in my cock pot so I don't mind if they are still a Little frozen in the middle. TIP: If cooking chicken this way, season them then add some water around them then cook. I have found this helps them to moist and not so dried out. Personally I shred them immediately when I take them out of the crock pot and either use it all in a recipe OR store it in a Pyrex container. I love shredded bbq chicken sandwiches so when I want one, just take out the portion you want, mix with bbq sauce, heat it up and put it on your bun/bread! Great sandwich done in just a couple of minutes! I hope these help someone! Have a great day!

[@cdo4Jesus]

@@DaniElle-di4ho Thanks! I'll try those ideas! 😃👍

[@cdo4Jesus]

@@DaniElle-di4ho I have found that putting the frozen meat in water then in the fridge makes it thaw much faster. For years I did it the way you suggested and it took way too long. I'm single and sometimes I decide on the fly what I want that night for dinner, or have unexpected guests (namely daughter and son-in-law) and need something quick. Good idea, though, for more planned meals 👍🙂

[@SachaMullin]

Shelf-stable gnocchi is perfect for pan frying. (Don't boil them before or you get goo. You're looking for a golden color with a light crisp.) Nigella Lawson recommends using freshly made gnocchi, which do give you lighter results, but the shelf-stable kind are good in a "I need a dense potato moment that somehow also has a little chew" kind of way.

[@GlamourNNail]

Ooo! Pan frying! I may have to try that. I just can't really get on board with gnocchi because of the texture. The rest on my family like them though. I'll have to try frying them to see if I like that better.

I don't let them thaw out before sautéing. I don't like the water added. But if added to the pan frozen, it seems to evaporate before changing the texture of them. I do toss any big chunks of ice. I've found that a couple of times only. I buy the sticks of butter, onion and garlic powder, jars of garlic, and sazon seasoning and bouillon. Do NOT buy the bouillon in the jars! It is straight up salt!I have a problem getting dehydrated, so I do buy water with electrolytes there. They even have Core.

Love this video! Sale items and coupons would definitely help me determine my weekly menu. Also, having a deep freezer is a must! Now that I'm older, I can no longer shop the way I did in the past. It's definitely harder and more pricey if you are gluten intolerant or you're trying to limit sugar intake or cutting carbs. Love your videos!!!

I use gnocchi as dumplings in chicken and dumplings.. Love em

[@Toots4You]

Omg!! Harry and David is a fairly high end company that you order online. Great find!

The fudge stripe cookies are most definitely the best way to make s'mores! Especially when you little kids! (And the chocolate on the cookie actually gets melty unlike chocolate bars.)

The "girl scout" fudge mint cookies at my dollar general is $1. And i love them! Also sold year round. So cheaper than DT but still both great price compared to the "real deal"

[@Linda211]

My local DTs all had the fudge mint cookies initially and now none of them have them. It's good to know that DG has similar cookies for $1. Thanks for sharing!

Walmart's store brand of mint and chocolate covered peanut butter (Tagalongs) taste exactly the same as Girl Scout too if your DT runs out.

Have you ever shopped at Big Lots; sometimes you can find good deals there... Also, the Nutrigrain bars outdated Nov of 2021... hehe

Freezing tortillas is fantastic! I also stocked up on organic butter for $1.99 and pasture-raised whole eggs for scrambling in a carton for .50! They were expired in one day so I bought 20 And froze them all! Lol Now I take them out one by one and use them for French toast, quiche, pancakes etc. I still can’t believe they cost me .50 for the equivalent of one dozen of pasture raised eggs!!! There’s so much you can freeze. It’s definitely underrated!

I've done potato soup with gnocchi. I was out of potatoes, was craving it on a winter day. The gnocchi was a great substitution!

I love butter, cinnamon and sugar on potato gnocchi. We treat it as a dessert here. Boil until it rises to the top, remove with slotted spoon, toss with butter, cinnamon and sugar. Delicious!

Stacy...is spot on with her Olive Garden recipe. We make it too & it's delish, also you can use it to make chicken & dumplins replacing the dumplings with the gnocchi & its yummy that way too! Thats about the only two ways I use it. Thank you so much for the video....your so informative & thats why I LOVE your channel. Every vlog I walk away with more VERY HELPFUL knowledge....thank you so much for all your time & effort to bring us educational content😉👍

I am a huge fan of shelf stable milk. When it gets close to expiring I put it in the fridge and use it for cooking.

Your husband is a man after my own heart, "it would be better with chocolate" - always! Gnocchi - SORTEDfood had a recipe recently where they made a fish pie where they used gnocchi for the potato topping. You could use the gnocchi where you would use any mashed potato. Shepherd's pie, tater-tot casserole, etc.
