I'll be there in a few Aunt Vickie ❤

[@B_Bodziak]

Try using mayonnaise instead of butter to grill your buns/bread. Just try making a grilled cheese with mayo on the bread instead of butter. It gives the bread a nice golden crust.

[@clydia5497]

You are the best that I ran across because you're teaching us that can't afford to buy groceries ways to be able to budget

[@dianaarmitage512]

Did my heart good to see Ryder holding Kylan's hand in the store. You and Dusty must be so proud of your sons! They are a good young men 💞

[@deniseherud]

Me too😢..You don't see that anymore these days, so i'm so happy to see a family like this. 💗 Those are some good boys to be proud of💗

[@brendabeelee]

Same 🥲

[@DebbieandEddieBFF]

❤❤❤❤

[@ask-128]

I noticed that also..it is about family values...and working together , as a family , as a community, as a country....God Bless America and its people

[@ValerieNeely-e7f]

I thought the same thing when I seen that! Good young men!

[@derinaries]

Youre doing the world a service by teaching your sons how to cook and shop. Good on ya!

[@donnadonaldson9671]

Big brother holding little brothers hand in the grocery store is the sweetest💕

[@EllyKaye84]

Came here to say this!!

[@BrainyRedheadedAngel]

The boys made $30 stretch, 7 dinners for a family of 5! Kudos, their mother taught them well! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@theresarogerssimpson1280]

Heck yeah

[@mommaluvs2sew]

Agreed

[@jhowell0387]

That dinner with the broccoli cheddar potatoes and parmesan garlic bread was so inspiring! I'm definitely making that! The idea to give the kids money not only challenges you to be creative but also teaches them how to budget. Such an awesome idea. You're a great Mama!

[@lesliekanengiser8482]

My husband got a new job Between the last one and this one, we went without a paycheck for 1 month. To avoid dipping into the emergency fund, we stuck to a 45 to 60 dollar budget for groceries. Lots of beans, rice and pasta supplemented with lots of cheap veggies like celery, green bell pepper, carrot and onions. (Oh, and our garden tomatoes and zucchini). After going through that, I honestly think it changed the way I'll shop for and cook food forever

[@DebbieandEddieBFF]

❤❤❤

[@tammyjones8102]

Just a big ole thank you. You make a difference. Not to be weird but when I came across you today, I was thrilled. I am alone for months on end and you and the boyz make me smile. Thank you

[@PiperYorkiePoo]

tammyjones8102 Don't feel weird, Brooke has an amazing personality as do her kids. I was going through a terrible, terrible depression after my Pug died and I could hardly get off the couch or even shower. I live alone, and when I found her channel, it was a real positive to motivate me every day to get up, take a shower, get back into the world, and as a reward was watching her videos. She does make a difference, she helped me and I am so happy she is helping you too!

[@Leelee...]

Fabulous dinners for thirty dollars .... amazing❤

[@bridgetmarden7224]

I feel this. My hubby is in a nursing home for the last almost 6yrs and I'm alone too. This family and Moss Family TV keep me sane 😊

[@StamperWendy]

@lorigriffin1843 I'm sorry about your puppe r

[@adigmon]

I’m by myself every other week when my husband works. I completely understand! I’ve been watching Brooke and being one of her “besties” since she started! She and her family including Aunt Vickie are wonderfully kind and caring! I religiously watch Dollar Tree Dinners too. Cooking the Books has a wonderful host Ana and she collects vintage cookbooks and cooks recipes from them. She has the most calming voice!

[@PinkTigger33]

Your boys did better than I can do with $30. Kudos Momma on teaching them so well!

[@Beckala67]

Exactly. Just one tip for future pasta meals 15:25 - always keep 1 cup of the pasta water on hand, to thicken the sauce and key the pasta hydrated.

[@jjuju125]

In case no one has said it today, I just love yall. The whole family, Aunt Vickie included!

[@tammypierce3250]

I love how you feed yourself, three men and a boy with such a small amount of meat. It looked like the most you used was a pound and some nights no meat. Thats awesome for a tight budget. Meat is the most expensive part of the meal. A lot of men think it’s not a meal unless they have a ton of meat on their plate. You’ve raised them right!

[@Jmal1090]

My husband is like that, so I make one pot meals most of the time to hide the fact that I'm only using half a pound of meat for the entire meal 😂

[@ItalianaBellaXo222]

I just wantEd to let you know how much I look forward to your videos, you are amazing at what you do!! I absolutely love you and your personality, you have such a beautiful family!! Your content really relaxes me alot, so thank you!! God bless you guys 😊

[@GlendaCollins-et9ik]

Your boys did amazing job buying $30.00 groceries. for 7 meals.

[@melodychristy448]

"I don't know, lets find out" is my absolute favorite!!! Kylen is too precious! All of your boys are precious ❤️

[@SC-tx5le]

YOU HAVE THE SWEETEST BOYS. OH MY GOODNESS. You should be so proud. Good job. I have twin boys that were as sweet as your boys. They have become engineers, an attorney, and a PhD candidate. It just takes love and good parents. Good job!

[@debraherring2427]

Breakfast for supper is always good!

[@stacypappas9677]

It's the best, especially when it's pancakes 🥞😋

[@sandraking9650]

You got good boys, teaching them right! Plus, your hair gets more beautiful.

[@teresaleonard9215]

Right. I love her hair.

[@MicheleAbby]

So enjoy your videos. Your little men did a great job. You are so creative. You rock it, girl.

[@carnick1201]

Amazing! 7 meals for $30 AND a million dollars of L-O-V-E!!!❤❤❤ Brooke - you are The GOAT!! Blessings!!

[@littlebug1026]

I just want to say your boys are so amazing. They are not only polite and kind but sweet. All 3 of them! I loved the shot of Kylan holding Ryder's hand in the store. OMG that was so sweet! Little brother's protector! And what they picked out was amazing I am dying for some pancakes right now!

[@barbladner1263]

Awesome family can't believe how fast the boys grow up

[@lindaq8275]

Your boys did a great job picking out the groceries and you did a fabulous job putting the meals together. You are amazing at coming up with inexpensive meals. That’s definitely what a lot of people are needing these days. My hat is off to you for raising such well mannered sons.

[@vidaudink3044]

You have a talent that most have lost!! I'm glad i found your channel!

[@patwilder1340]

This 79 year old grandmother of 9 loves your videos and your precious family. They are cheerful and happy and fun. Always come away with new ideas and a smile😊

[@suedavids2034]

You have the sweetest family ever! It is obvious that there is so much love and respect for each other. Treasure these family times. ❤

[@mariagar5758]

You did a great job with the baked potato night, making dinner with odds and ends, I'm impressed 😁! Thanks again for sharing enjoy your day 🎉

[@SharonG-ip3ll]

I can't believe how many great looking meals you came up with for just $30. The boys are right, you can't go wrong with pinto beans and cornbread. I grew up eating that and still love it today. Breakfast for dinner is always good. I hope you let the boys go shopping more often and see what else they can come up with. Also teaching them a necessary life skill to do their own shopping.

[@susancowan7850]

Love Brayden, he is always so enthusiastic about almost everything you cook. He makes me smile.

[@patriciajansen5484]

What a great idea letting the kids shop for food great job guys! 👍

[@reneegranger284]

Love your hair pulled up. The boys did a great job shopping.

[@lyndajones6605]

So.. I'm so impressed with all they got for 30.00...well done boys....

[@azurite6452]

What a lovely family you all are - you must be very proud of your sons! It's great to see young folk becoming empowered as they learn how to take care of themselves and their family!

[@viviannichols3582]

These kids did AMAZINGLY WELL with this budget! Obviously, they’ve been listening to Momma.

[@11plus3]

Your boys are the best of the best Watching Ryder walk through the store holding Kylens hand. I melted. Such a precious family. Great video

[@SuzieQ-lw2kp]

Brooke, you did a fantastic job and your boys have been paying attention to what you do that is so wonderful. Most kids would have bought their favorite junk food and maybe something to fix burgers or hotdogs or a frozen pizza. This shows you are teaching them how to make it in the real world and save money. EXCELLENT JOB MOMMA 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤

[@cathylongstreth5405]

Two thumbs up to this!!❤❤

[@briedubbels8690]

The brothers holding hands is the sweetest thing ever. I love when my 12-year-old holds my 5-year-old's hand in the parking lot

[@BLUECRABNETWORK]

Those were some great meals!!! I think Brooke could win one of those cooking challenges on tv. 🎉😊 she is so creative and makes an entire meal that is yummy out of nothing. 🎉😊

[@rosesmith3377]

You did an amazing job making seven dinners with $30. That’s what an experience mom can do, good job. 😊

[@SharonGoewert]

I love these video`s when your boy`s go grocery shopping They always do such a great job!

[@amandamurray8224]

They really do. My adult children couldn't do that well.

[@sandrafrancois2609]

Are you sure Braden is not a Cajun? Lol In these trying times, it comes in handy to eat many varieties of food. The spoiled kids are having the roughest time, but average great kids are surviving better. 🤗

[@jessmunguia5283]

I really love how you dont make a big fuss about your picky eater, like revolving meals around him, but you also make an option for him and dont force him to eat something he hates 💙

[@gabriellemedeiros3161]

I applaud Aunt Vicki + you Brooke, they did a great job shopping on a budget !

[@Yvonne4Jesus]

You have raised your boys well! They picked out sensible, nourishing, affordable ingredients. And ypu got the most out of them. Way to go!

[@bettymadden3615]

This could be my all time favorite. Your imagination and skills with the amount of only $30.00 was extraordinary. I am so impressed and in total awe. Thank you for showing this lady what can be done on a small budget. Wow!

[@Angelbee-i4l]

I love that you teach your kidlets the truth of life. Brooke, you're loved by many😊

[@Bbuzzin5]

I also wanted to say how nice it is to see someone on youtube not looking for handouts. Kudos to you 👏!

[@1FairyGothMother]

Your family is so sweet and respectful, it’s like you all are from another time. ❤

[@larkspurcanterburybells5274]

I am also very frugal and a creative cook who can envision dishes & meals from random ingredients. And like you, I have 3 sons. I love your realness, lack of pretension, & obvious devotion to your family . My favorite part of your shows is when your youngest predictably “passes out” from how good it is. So dramatic! And, he’s so like my youngest so I wonder if that type of personality comes from having 2 older brothers?

[@orleysmith4852]

Thank you so much for what you're doing!! I'll be 70 in December, lived a lot of my life "no frills" and you're an encouragement to me. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!! And PS i love your youn Collin's sense of humor (such as after he tastes your good food). You're all great

[@bethkennedy3918]

The queen has taught the young princes 🤴 well.

[@Ddouglas0302]

At home ..just had dental surgery and now in bed.. binge watching you and all your families videos! Love u all❤❤❤

[@florence1395]

From France 🇫🇷 & Britain 🇬🇧 thank you, opposite to my life but loving watching you cook, it’s alien to me but loving it! ♥️

[@erinwhite3444]

Well mama. It looks like you've done a good job with your boys!!! ❤❤

[@maryc1849]

Loved it!!! The boys did great choosing the foods & of course Mama, you did awesome making the meals, as usual! Thanks for sharing❤

[@thereseshine7506]

Wow! Your boys did an excellent job! We all should teach our kids this skill. Your meals were phenomenal for $30! I really enjoyed this video! Thank you.

[@marystellarosetarot5700]

17:30 am I the only one who sees a cross in the ranch dressing on top of the salald? God Bless us all every day!!

[@lindaswanson9328]

Honey, you came across my feed, and I have to say, I am thrilled. You inspire me to do better planning meals. I can stretch a dollar pretty far, but you are the queen! Thank you for your videos. You have done a great job raising your boys. So sweet and polite. Keep up the good work.

[@sandyfitchcorbett1782]

I remember my 2 older brothers wanting to do groceries for our family of 6. Four boys, one girl, me. They were given so much and did so well Mom let them do it several times. Thanks for bringing up a memory💕

[@buggarlynn7352]

I’m another Granny who loves your family. Your teachings to your sons will not stop with them. They will teach others for sure the gift of thrifty frugal shopping. Blessings to you all! Hugs from Virginia Beach, VA. ❤

[@kindnessrules3885]

You are a well loved momma bear❤ your boys and hubby are precious❤

[@Thundralight]

If you have some light corn syrup you can make any flavor pancake syrup by just mixing any jam or preserves you have with it to make all types of pancake syrups. My favorite is red raspberry just add. a bit of water if you like the syrup more runny

[@teresakryvenchuk6205]

Your sons have such ❤ for your food😊😊😊. They have wonderful parents. Teach them to cook. My son is 39 and he cooks better than me. His son is 7 and he pulls a chair up to watch. I loveyour videos. Go bless you all❤ ✝️ ❤ 🙏... I love all the recipes❤

[@susanharris3092]

As a mother of a picky eater, thank you for keeping it real!

[@JenniferTaul-le7sk]

Brooke...you and Dusty have a beautiful family! They are such good boys. You must be so proud.

[@cantunderstandfoolishpeeps2036]

I just adore watching you and your family! Your boys are so fabulous! They will be good men, any girl will be lucky to be in their lives! Not trying to rush, but I see ya'll being a wonderful Grammy and Pappy!

[@dianaarmitage512]

I agree! Brooke and Dusty are going to be fantastic grandparents one of these days! 💞

[@AGee2217]

You can tell the boys have learned a lot from you! It’s good to see people teaching their children life skills. Somehow we’ve lost sight of that through the years. The reason that cheese makes such great sauce is because it has an emulsifier already in it. No need for a rue. On other hack, if you add water to cream or half and half it basically turns into a whole milk. Sometimes that’s a way to stretch a buck if you’re short on milk. You da best Brooke!! 💚

[@Christianity-12221]

You have great beautiful boys God bless them and your family🥰💖🙌!

[@wynonawindsor793]

You are sooo blessed girl, you’ve got the cutest sweetest family I’ve seen in a very long time..❤

[@patriciacerwin6266]

The boys did a great job shopping. Now maybe have the two older ones begin cooking with you so they can learn how to use what they buy into dinners. Just the next step when they are ready. You have a really sweet family that cares about each other. Rare today.

[@annabelmiller8]

Gosh. Your boys are so sweet i have 4 boys. I can only hope they'll be this sweet, respectful and helpful when they get older. Your older boy holding your youngest hand warmed my heart.

[@MarjorieLittle-g6i]

Came across you by accident love your channel .love your boys

[@gailblack6976]

What sweet boys you have. May God bless your family❤

[@lrajic8281]

These kids have good appetites. Some kids are so fussy. They don’t appreciate simple food. They need to hang around kids like yours.😊

[@sharonwebster4765]

I am blown away with all the meals that came from that 30 dollars. How awesome it was too to see y'all shopping together and the boys learning the value of a dollar as well as time with mom. Great times and thank y'all for all you do !

[@bridgetmarden7224]

As a single person (hubby is in a nursing home) I truly appreciate all of you ideas. I live on SSD and get no help from the state like food stamps or medical. ❤ im 49 and you have taught me so much. Thwnk you dear, love you always ❤

[@ajmss3822]

loved seeing the kids pick! your boys are precious i have 3 boys too! beautiful pancake skills by the way lol ♥

[@sandrafromlittlesproutslea2990]

As a mama to four boys, I am amazed at how well your sons did choosing the items for the challenge. You did a great job making those meals.

[@RachelSWhite]

These are the skills everyone needs, but awesome when it's taught young to prepare them just incase of hard times!

[@Sam___Smith]

It's awesome how you throw these meals together! They look delicious 😋

[@luvangel-s4q]

💙💙💙Boys did fantastic! We don’t need meat every night. And if you are on a budget, this is not only filling but tasty!

[@angelahazel3966]

Hello Brooke it was such a pleasure watching your beautiful boys cooking chicken and rice your such a delightful family I’m watching you from London ENGLnD ThNk you ❤️

[@monicaevans-dz1bj]

Such a lovely family. Thank you for sharing, these meals are doable. I’m watching every video now for ideas. So practical and affordable. You are the queen of mumma bears.

[@elliejellie22]

The chicken alfredo looks so good. Never thought it was that easy!! Definitely gonna try it.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

I can't believe how many meals you get from these shopping trips!😊 Awesome!

[@JaneSwiatek]

I just came across your videos. I love them. You are a ray of sunshine. I am on a journey dealing with cancer and your videos make me smile and feel good. You have a wonderful family. Thank you for what you do!!

[@dannadonahue916]

“I’m feeling pretty good!” I love these boys! ❤❤❤❤

[@katiej2948]

Whoa! I'm so impressed with that Day 6 dinner (broccoli cheese baked potato and cheesy garlic bread). Amazing what you can throw together with scraps! Thank you so much for your ideas and inspiration!

[@IAmYogaWellness]

Great job boys! And Momma Aunt Vicky!

[@jackiemiera7958]

They did so good shopping. They are great meal planners.😊

[@mandykaminksy1279]

The boys did a fantastic job picking out ingredients and keeping track of the cost. I was very impressed. Mom did great on coming up with the meals from those ingredients. I loved that your boys were involved in this video! I’m a Momma of 3 boys too. Nothing better than being a “Boy Mom!”

[@BLUECRABNETWORK]

That "scrap" dinner at the end was my favorite, I think!!! 🎉 😊

[@k8hansen]

I really, really appreciate your videos. You show a real home. I’m so tired of all of the aesthetic videos full of trendy garbage. I have a home similar to yours and it’s nice to see some real people representation. Thanks for your content! You have a beautiful family.

[@beckiwhite7927]

I love😀 watching your videos, I sometimes watch them second time

[@pamelabalboa5174]

The boys did amazing understanding and staying on budget. Looks like they had some meal ideas (about 4ish) . 4 meals for a family of 5 for only $30 was great. Then Super Mom (aka Brooke) took it up a notch and made 3 more meals for a total of 7 meals. WOW!!! Combined each meal was approximately $0.87 truly amazing.

[@auntiali9344]

Love your pancake batter dispenser. It's just fab!

[@katylox1604]

Agree!! I want one😊

[@sarahcrane4421]

I just discovered you, and I am obsessed. I have so many questions. You kept me up late last night, but I'm not complaining. I want to try what you do, but I work 7A-7P, 40 minutes from home. I need to collect some of your quicker recipes.

[@SuzieQ-lw2kp]

Also maybe try a insta pot they are great to get things done quick i also love my crock pot

[@christinagaffney2054]

i love the bowls you're serving your beans and rice in, they look like pasta bowls Thanks for sharing your dinners with us

[@Skyequack22374]

Everyone needs a place like that to visit.

[@carolmc9183]

Your family loves you so much 💓

[@fallenangel3460]

Best trick i have for fried potatoes is to parboil them first and they crisp up so much better...

[@robinporter6032]

Girl, the boys did a great job. Keep up the good work.
