I would enjoy another budget meal challenge from Dollar Tree of you're up for it. 3 days for $10 or something like that 😊

Great vid as always Jamie! Dollar Tree has been coming thru with high protein options. I've found protein oatmeal, protein shakes, and protein water. The price point for those items have been pretty good versus what they are in other stores. I like that instant jasmine rice you picked up, it's really good for making fried rice 😊

The marie calendars duo meals are good.

I found some jar marinara sauce about a month ago. Susquehanna valley brand. It had natural ingredients and compared to Rao's. It is flavored just right for dipping cheese sticks. Sadly they didn't have any more last time I went.

Hi Jamie...I was just wondering if you could give me some good ideas of food that goes together with beef or chicken and is more on the healthy side...i love watching your videos, keep up the good job with them

[@NoGettingOffThisTrain]

Great question! In general, look for whole grain options because they have more fiber and nutrients. So brown rice, whole wheat bread/pasta, etc. Frozen vegetables make great side items because they're easy to throw in the microwave! What I like to do sometimes is cook a big batch of meat, 2-3 different vegetables, and 1-2 carb options (Rice, pasta, etc). And that way I can mix and match meals so I don't get bored!

Honestly I am very disappointed with the choices in Dollar Tree. Prices have increased however the sizes are smaller. A better price is available at Aldi or even Walmart. Snacks are ok but again the sizes are smaller.

[@barbarailles5593]

could you tell me the difference between jasmine rice and long grain white rice

[@NoGettingOffThisTrain]

Hi! I think the main difference is that Jasmine rice is fluffier. There are some very minor nutritional differences, but I think texture is the big one.

Our dollar tree has even less than yours does. Not sure if when I go in they are just low on stock or what.

Nice review of Dollar Tree, it's been a while Jaime!😍 I guess I didn't realize that you hadn't been there since the price went up to $1.25.🤔 Besides the 25¢ increase, they have also added the Plus section. The Plus section offers higher grade items for $3 and $5. As you saw in the freezer section, they additionally have $3, 4 and $5 items. You have some food items that haven't been in my store. We still have the $1.25 bread items, no higher priced name brands. Our only higher priced food is in the freezer. Some of the freezer items used to be within a few cents of the big grocery stores. But now they're carrying different items and I haven't seen their new items in the grocery stores yet. The Marie Calendar Duos is what I recently bought. I haven't eaten it yet but I've never been disappointed in that brand.😘 After reading some of the comments I realized that people don't know about when you used to make meals from DT food. And since so many things have changed with DT, it probably wouldn't be as much of a bargain as when everything was only a dollar. That extra quarter adds up fast. Now if you buy 4 things, it will cost $5 and you would only get 8 items for $10. There are items I still buy at DT. You can't buy a can of peaches at the grocery store for $1.25! Same goes for name brand green beans and other vegetables. But there are other food items that are definitely cheaper at the grocery stores. People were commenting that you would do better with a challenge at Aldi or Walmart. That means your current audience doesn't know about the DT challenge you used to do. And perhaps it wouldn't be as meaningful as it was long ago. Even some of the frozen foods we used to get and like aren't there any more. So I don't see this being as effective as before (especially with the price increase). But I'm still glad you checked it out! At least you know what they have now and how it has changed. Since we still only have the two grocery stores in my town and they're always crowded, I will stop at DT for a loaf of bread ($1.25) or one or two items. It beats fighting the crowd in the parking lot and the store plus it's still cheaper than a convenience store!😋 Now you know! And I think most of us would rather see you make meals from regular grocery stores!😚 But thanks for checking it out!🥰
