A Week of Dollar Tree meals that DONT SUCK | Emergency Grocery Budget Challenge |

[@allyrooh3628]

One thing I do to stretch milk is by buying the whole milk and removing 1 1/2 cups and replace with water. It stretches the milk out. We drink 1% or skim, so this is no big change in taste for us. Replacing 1/2 quart of milk with 1/2 quart of water decreases the fat by half. My DT has block cheese that you can shred. It melts really well. There is a cornstarch replacement for eggs: 2 T + 3T water = one egg replacement. You could use a can of chicken for the ramen dish if you wanted to add protein. I'm not criticizing, just tossing out ideas! Fun easy meals, love it!

One tbsp of mayo is a good substitute for one egg.

[@alishawilliams4194]

But mayo is still made of egg. So mayo might be a quick on-hand substitute, but only if one didn't have any dietary restrictions like an allergic reaction to eggs.

[@tracieschrock9519]

i use the beef patties for ground beef meals, love the cheese stuffed ravioli, we make pizza buns too we use the nuggets or popcorn chicken for kfc bowls

[@tammifields4142]

Loved All the ideas!😋😋 Thanks for sharing!!

[@CookiesandBacon22]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@denisewilliams833]

I like their taco shells and refried beans..oh and the frozen egg rolls

[@angelafleming3328]

I thought applesauce could substitute for an egg our dollar tree sells an 8 pack of eggs for $1.25 but i bought a 5 dozen box from walmart for $4.70. Canned chicken would have worked in your stirfry ours always has the canned chicken. Hope you have a great week.

Applesauce is a good alternative to vegetable oil

[@angelafleming3328]

@@theGIGbetween i just double checked and it says you can substitute 1/4 cup applesauce for 1 egg.

[@annethompson2212]

good egg substitute, banana or apple sauce 😊

[@justme5544]

Try mayo for egg substitute. It is egg and oil, so it should work. You could use either of the sausage options on the pizza bagels.

[@sandraalsayyad4214]

DT is very handy in grocery store deserts in many cities.

[@dianethoroughman9541]

You can sub white vinegar and baking soda for the egg. Or applesauce.

[@amandasnailtasticnails9657]

At my DT they carry the thin steak to make Philly Cheesesteak. Then I first had it I found it at Aldi for 4.99 but the last time I looked at DT it was on the shelf marked 4. So I’ll be getting if from DT along with the peppers and onions to make Cheesesteaks. I don’t make them with the cheese that’s supposed to go on them. I use the white sharp cheddar cheese from Aldi instead. I know this is a DT video. DT is the best place to buy the Tony’s seasoning because at Walmart or “Kroger” it’s way over 4 bucks. The last time I looked at Kroger it was way over 6. DT is improving their game with the amount of food coming into their stores. I’m thinking it’s because of the plus section as well as the quarter increase.

[@CookiesandBacon22]

They really are! I couldn’t believe they had the Tony’s seasoning there!!

[@dennisfrench8225]

I use chicken franks in my air fryer tastes like grilled dogs off the grill I just slice slits in them and fry till dark they are yum!!!!

[@amandasnailtasticnails9657]

Apple sauce is an egg substitute

[@CookiesandBacon22]

Thank you!

[@macwacha8415]

I’ve heard a little vinegar is a substitute for the egg. Also, sometimes my DT has the Tyson frozen chicken nuggets, 5 to a bag. I’d use two bags & cut each nugget into four pieces & add all to the ramen at the end or at serving time. Additionally, my preference only & not always available, I’d get a little bowl & add the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, a tablespoon of honey, sesame oil & ketchup, if you had those on hand. Mix the sauce well & pour over the ramen. It brings it up a notch. 🍜

[@joanshealy1662]

1 tablespoon of chia seeds to 3 tablespoons of water let sit until a eggy slimy texture good in omega 3 and fiber 😊

[@mikeoranges1]

You can use aquafaba for egg substitute

[@veronica978]

Apple sauce, juice from chickpeas, mayonnaise

[@katej54801]

Applesauce for egg substitution. Then you could do oatmeal for breakfast & put some in as well.

[@Carmencita63]

You could do a meat lovers style pizza topping with some sausage and meatballs.

[@apriltownsend8463]

You can sub an egg with: a squished banana, applesauce, or yogurt.

[@CookiesandBacon22]

[@dennisfrench8225]

Love their pizza sauce and biscuit mix. I love my Aldi pink casserole dishes. Perfect for 3 people.

[@CookiesandBacon22]

Yes I use them often! Just love them!!

[@barbarailles5593]

you can use apple sauce for egg substituition.....

[@apriltownsend8463]

Oh and make sure you reseason your pan after putting pasta sauce in it because the acidity can eat the coating of your cast iron

[@CookiesandBacon22]

I was thinking of that as I was cleaning it. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of Kent Rollins (KZbinr) but he says never cook in a cast iron with acidic food.

[@apriltownsend8463]

You can substitute 1/2 mashed banana or 1/2 mashed avocado for an egg.

[@loreanschaffer2604]

Applesauce is a good substitute for eggs. I enjoy shopping at Dollar Tree 🌴 as well. Although I've never shopped thinking of meals for the Week.But you have whet my appetite for this very thing. Thanks so much. And you have some cute kiddos there. Take care. 👍

Interesting video.

Love the video and the fact your showing using dollar tree! Great ideas! ❤🎉

[@CookiesandBacon22]

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@paulam9942]

So with brownies, when you use an egg substitute you have to add more fat. I always add some peanut butter and they come out perfect.

[@CookiesandBacon22]

aha Peanut Butter makes sense! It has to be something that can hold it all together.

[@lindanizamoff7981]

egg substitutions: Mayo or apple sauce.

[@gloriapeel6887]

Great ideas! Good job!

Our dollar try has chicken nuggets and can chicken. Carbonated water , banana, or applesauce can be used in place of egg

[@CookiesandBacon22]

Chicken nuggets?? Man, I wish ours did!

[@ilovemusic1974]

Rhey do have onions and peppers frozen mix and sausage that would be really good on the bagel pizzas

[@CookiesandBacon22]

That's true!!

[@rachelhero3413]

They all looked really tasty. I’m not sure about your DT but I have found ham lunch meat that I chop up and add to my pizza bagels. And I make chicken and sausage jambalaya from all DT purchases.

[@CookiesandBacon22]

They do sometimes. I wish they did the day I went. My daughter loves ham on her pizzas.

[@rachelhero3413]
