Edit: Thankfully egg prices are back down so this no longer applies. 🎉 Budget tip: If you are making anything with eggs that is “scrambled” it’s cheaper to get liquid egg substitute now. It’s $4 ish at Walmart and is equivalent to 18 eggs. We still enjoy regular eggs sometimes but with 5 kids this makes omelettes and scrambled eggs go MUCH farther for less.

[@ennuiblue4295]

that's an eggcellent idea (sorry ☺️)

[@shayshaymann113]

Wow, that’s an excellent tip!!! Thank you so much for sharing 💙 This will also be a great way to make more French toast with. My daughter lives French toast

[@25centsworth]

Thanks. I'm going to give it a go. 18 eggs at Walmart are near $8.82. This is $4.14, and reviews are good. 🙂

[@hardlo7146]

That is absolutely insane. I remember I'd never get those eggs because they'd be so much more expensive...

[@Laurencausey]

@@hardlo7146 same. I liked them for making egg muffin bites cause it was easy but hated the “high price”. Not so much anymore. Half the price!

Being disabled and on a tight fixed income you have been a life saver. I am not a very good cook on my best day, but with all your help not only are we eating well but with good flavors. I am very new to you channel but I have watched every single video. I am so thankful I found you. Please know how much you are helping us all and it is greatly appreciated. 😊

[@JuliaPacheco]

Oh my goodness! You are so very kind. Thank you so very much for all of your positive feedback and I’m so happy that you were able to use my recipes and that you find them easy to make and create. I am sure it is extra difficult being disabled too, so this makes me extra happy. Thank you so very much for watching and for your loyal support💜💜

[@taramco1110]

God bless 💖

[@julieyoung3815]

Being disabled hopefully you applied for snap / food stamps and HUD for housing 30% rent based on income and medicade ( free medical) . But you can go to multiple pantries/ food banks every month. Most pantries you can make 1000 a month for one person. Some programs like meals on wheels help disabled people too . Prayers .

How are disabled? Don’t see it in vids. Very talented lady is all I see. Thank you for what you do.

[@emilygilstrap31]

We're buying a house & will need to stay on budget. Can't wait to start making these recipes in our new house!

[@emilygilstrap31]

We got the house & my aunt and grandparents chipped in on an air fryer& instant pot for us. I didn't see the need for an instant pot before your videos, but all the chicken in 20min while you do the rest of your cooking & whatever sold me. I'm a wife, mom & busy 1st year teacher with 2 more exams to pass. I need the instant pot & your videos in my life!

[@kylareppond]

Such a huge blessing!! ❤

[@stephaniec0625]

I also love that you show shopping individually for each meal. It makes the cost and savings so much easier to visualize

[@JuliaPacheco]

I'm so glad! Thank you so very much for your positive comment and feedback. Have a wonderful rest of your week🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@darien8080]

These meals are not nutritious. Recommend daily fruit is 2 servings a day & 5 servings of vegetables. Not any calcium for daily requirements. Can you have $5 meals yes but should you NO. Also a bit dangerous carrying a baby while cooking.

[@stephaniec0625]

@@darien8080 your advice is appreciated. No one plans to feed their families $5 meals continuously. Should you ever find yourself in a situation between being able to feed them nothing at all or a $5 meal, your kids will go to bed much happier on a $5 meal. You sound truly blessed. But not everyone is these days and I truly appreciate the time and effort and spirit in which this video was made.

[@shaunapapa8564]

This is so appreciated right now. It's so awful to go to the store and spend $100 and have one bag if you buy meat and eggs. Eggs used to be such a great way to save money too.😳 I love how your videos are always so appropriate for what we need. These look amazing and I am definitely going to be trying them!! I love your channel so much!!!❤️

[@mazie7952]

Regular grocery store half dozen almost 5.00 may as well buy the organic there for 8.00 Target 3,29 dozen. But not for long worker there said They say it's bird flu. If so why is there a ton of chicken at the store. I spent 175.00 at super target and was able to get much more for the money. I only buy meat at regular grocery thou.

[@Seabacon346]

Eggs are about $4.00 a dozen where I’m from. It’s crazy!

[@giannaswafford930]

60 count of eggs here in Denver at our Walmart is $28.68 a dozen is $4.93, it’s crazy.

[@jessicawilliams52]

This! My family consists of 5 people, 3 of which are sons (2 teenagers). We went to Walmart and Aldi last Sunday and spend $250…it’s barely enough to last the week. And I literally cook every meal.

[@stephaniec0625]

Exactly. We've been in repeat lately. Cheap and easy dinner used to be making breakfast knowing if nothing else eggs were so inexpensive and we'd get protein. Crazy that a dozen eggs is more than lb of ground meat now.

[@nvm3117]

I truly appreciate the no meat recipes. I cook 6 times a week, two meals a day and 3 days are meatless day, every week. Thank you

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so very much and I’m happy to hear that my recipes help. That is a lot of cooking for sure! Have a wonderful rest of your week and I hope you enjoy some of these recipes🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@e1honor7doctorw]

One recipe I recently discovered and LOVE is cabbage stir fry. All it is is a quarter cabbage with shredded carrots, onion, and garlic with a lb of ground beef plus a quarter cup of soy sauce. Simple but SO good!

[@JuliaPacheco]

Oh my goodness! Thank you so very much for sharing that recipe here. That sounds so so good. I sure do appreciate you’re watching and thank you so very much for your support🙌🏼

[@smorgasbroad1132]

My friend calls me a "concoction" cook, because these kinds of recipes are my favorites. A mix of tasty ingredients rather than a meat, a veggie & a side. These are right up my alley & the plus is: budget friendly. 👍

[@JuliaPacheco]

That’s awesome! Good for you. That’s exactly what you have to do to use what you have and make things more budget friendly. Have a great rest of your week🙌🏼

[@smorgasbroad1132]

I love all these ideas! Groceries are so expensive… I love using the real bacon pieces in recipes and fast, easy and cheap.

[@lynnkavanagh7361]

People who cook completely from scratch have the time & finances to do so. Rather than criticize someone who doesn’t, put yourself in their shoes. Julie has 2 small children & finding time to cook completely from scratch isn’t doable. She has little ones to take care of, diapering, bathing, clothing, feeding, washing their clothes & maybe diapers. The list can go on & on, & then take care of themselves, along with grocery shopping & all of the other things of running a household. Each person cooks the way they prefer or what works for them. My husband does the majority of our cooking because being disabled it’s hard for me to stand much more than a minute. So we use more convenience foods than we did when our kids were little, but when one spouse is doing most of the work load, it’s an easy trade off to use convenience foods when we can. Please don’t criticize KZbinrs or subscribers until you walk in their shoes. Let’s try being kind.

[@rosej9686]

Wow, I especially liked the recipe you made using the crescent roll dough... so many possibilities and variations one could do, but yours looks delicious! Isn't it outrageous how expensive groceries have gotten, especially eggs? 😱 Have a blessed week! ❤️

[@moni13000]

Another awesome set of recipes! I can’t wait to try the chicken and rice, it looks so good. And I’ve been wanting a meal recently that’s filling but not super heavy. We’ve had a lot of heavy foods over the holidays and I’m really want something that’s healthy but still feels like comfort food. That chicken and rice looks like just what I needed. And I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating- you always put so much effort into your videos and making sure to find the best deals and shortcuts to work with people’s time and budgets. There’s a lot of channels who focus so much on the flavor and don’t really consider that the average person can’t just afford all the extravagant ingredients they use. But you always look for the best bang for your buck, and never skimp on the flavor. I don’t think I’ve watch a video of yours yet where I Wasn’t excited to try at least one of your dishes. Keep it up, and I hope you and your family have a safe and healthy new year! ❤

[@jmason1770]

In my area 12 large eggs: Aldi $4.19, Walmart $4.78 and Meijer $3.69. My Walmart pasta shelves are either fully stocked or half empty. I never know which one it's going to be.

[@JuliaPacheco]

What is it about pasta?? It’s just nuts. I think people just stock up on it and then they just can’t keep the store stocked enough. I am just not sure either🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ thank you so very much for sharing your prices and I hope you enjoy some of these recipes too!

[@lindawilson290]

[@kathryncooper4001]

We had the Spanish Rice Soup for supper tonight, with leftover cornbread on the side -- YUM!!! I used fresh onions, celery and pepper, which I already had on hand, so saved a little more cash. We also loved your Creamy Tomato Bacon Pasta, but I first sauteed onion and garlic to add to the mix and served it with a green salad. It was downright splendid. I bore easily, so am always looking for new recipes. These were certainly noteworthy.

[@JuliaPacheco]

Wow! That is awesome to hear, Kathryn. Thanks so much for sharing your positive feedback about those two recipes and I love what you added too🙌🏼 Thank you so very much for sharing that here and I sure do appreciate your positive feedback!

[@ericaharris5331]

[@patricemoore2825]

Hi precious Macie and Brinley 🥰🥰 Thank you for taking us along to the grocery store with you and sharing the prices with us. The eggs at my local grocery store are $4.69 😯 It almost seem like they no we need it and if we continue to buy it then they’ll just keep raising the prices 🤦‍♀️ I’m definitely going to try these delicious recipes . Thank you so much Julia 😊

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so very much, Patrice for your greeting to Macie and Brinley💜 so very sweet! And you are so right about the eggs right now, they just keep going up every week. It makes me crazy! I sure hope you enjoy these recipes and thank you so very much for your loyal support!💜

[@stormyweather2807]

Eggs are high because avian flu has impacted poultry farmers, supply and demand always affects pricing. Locals with small flocks haven't been as impacted by the flu, but birds tend to lay fewer eggs in winter, so that affects prices as well.

[@CitifiedCowgirl]

I’m so happy to have egg laying chickens. With only 5 chicken I can get a minimum of at least a dozen eggs per week in the winter months and come spring and summer my healthy happy chickens will give me a minimum of 3 dozen eggs that’s a huge savings theses days.

[@JuliaPacheco]

That is a huge savings! I have been thinking about getting chickens myself lately. Things are just crazy and it would be so fun for the girls to and super important to have that responsibility🙌🏼 good for you! And I hope you have a great rest of your week!

[@mwalt2628]

Thank you!! And yes your website is such an easy go-to to find the recipes when I can’t remember which video I saw it in! You’re doing everything perfect!

[@JuliaPacheco]

Thank you so very much, Brooke🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@angelsimmons7954]

I love all the recipe ideas! But the last one is definitely doable for my picky men. They are basic. 😂 “Meat and potato” dudes. And the egg casserole too. Keep them coming!!

[@JuliaPacheco]

I definitely get that! Ha ha. I hope they enjoy that recipe and thanks so much for watching💜

[@connieguzman8721]

My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I saw the baby's 👶 hand ✋ reach for the pan 🍳. The baby being anywhere near the stove on the counter would freak me out. 😲😳

[@giannaswafford930]

Well it’s her child and she can do what she wants. I’m sure she wouldn’t let her children get hurt.

[@cheriblossom3777]

Oh my goodness I love all the budget dinners. Especially how easy they are to make. Thank you 😊

[@JuliaPacheco]

Glad you like them! And thank you so much for watching🙌🏼

[@XaTiDa]

I tried the creamy tomato bacon pasta and instead of bacon I put hamburger meat and added spaghetti veggies and mushrooms ... WE LOVED IT!!! It was so easy and quick! I LOVE watching these recipes! I found you randomly and now I need to watch all your videos!

[@JuliaPacheco]

I am so very happy to hear that you enjoyed your version of this recipe, Tina! I bet that was amazing. Thank you so very much for sharing what you did and I am so happy to have you here as one of my loyal subscribers. Welcome to my KZbin family💜💜

[@beckframe7681]

I know it's cheap but I personally don't feel comfortable using Walmarts products. They haven't made any promises to remove BPA or PFAS from their products which are known to cause cancer. Yes, it's cheap, but preventative care for your health could save you tens of thousands later.

[@kathyharmon2093]

Is someone forcing you to go to Walmart?

[@veronicacalloway2795]

I love the simplicity of your meals, going to enjoy cooking!😊

[@laurenmoble]
