This is an awesome channel. Most Americans are so ridiculously spoiled, and so few have ANY idea what it's like to really struggle. Your channel is a fantastic contribution to those who are struggling - if only temporarily. When I was in college in the '80s it took everything I could manage just to get by. It was all on me. After borrowing some money to buy something I needed for my job I was left broke and in debt. So I developed a diet that kept me going for the least money. There was no internet; there were no Dollar Trees or Dollar Generals or anything like that. So I lowered my expectations and purchased ramen noodles on sale (who didn't, right?). I would use coupons to purchase canned tuna. I bought LOTS of potted meat. I could get 10 cans of potted meat for $1. I large loaf of Sunflower white bread was 89 cents. Each can of potted meat would make two sandwiches. That's TWENTY sandwiches for about $2. Potted meat isn't filet mignon, but it's tasty and filling. Then I filled my fiber and vitamin needs with canned veggies on sale. The most important was canned spinach! I learned to prepare it in several ways, sometimes adding an egg and butter to take it up several notches! Once a week I would treat myself to a Chinese buffet in town for $5. I made it through and learned lessons that serve me well 35 years later!

You can even make ghetto ramen with bullion cubes or a bag of spice mix for soups, and cheap pasta. You only need to find the right bag of spice-mix for soups, and you have instant ramen which takes 5-10 minutes to cook. And you have the advantage of adding some shredded vegetables or a boiled egg or a sausage or something, to make it into a more filling meal. Add a spoon or two of tomato sauce from a jar after boiling the pasta in just enough water to cover it, then cook it on low heat for a few minutes (which are included in the time used to cook the pasta) for some of the liquid to turn into a sauce, and you have instant noodles which taste like a $20 meal from a cheap restaurant. There are different types of pasta, so you could get the variety you like, and you only need to stir slowly while the pasta boils, and add the spice mix after it's done cooking or the bullion cubes (which you sliced thin) before you start cooking (or you can get some water and a cup and mix the sliced bullion cube with the water until it turns into a sauce, using more water to get the leftovers from the cup into the pan). It's similar to instant noodles, but takes a few minutes and 3 different actions to do (the bullion cubes or spices mix, the cleaning and shredding/cutting of things you're adding in with the pasta, and the pouring of the mix into a bowl or putting the cutting board on the table and the pan on the table to eat from, which is how I eat scrambled eggs), and that opens up the possibility of adding something else to the pot, or cooking something else differently. For example, sliced or fries-shaped or diced salami can be fried in a pan separately, then the pasta can be made in the pan without the fried salami (without cleaning the pan before adding the pasta and water), then you add the salami fries/slices/dices on top of the pasta or next to it, and you've got a restaurant-like dish in 15 minutes, 10-15 more minutes than instant noodles (including the boiling of the water and letting it rest, since a large plate with the pasta spread out can help it cool faster), but much cheaper (in some cases, 1/5 of the price). And it might even be cheaper to make your own fresh noodles (with water, cheap flour, and no yeast), for some variety and a slightly cheaper price (compared to the store-bought pasta). You can even used mashed boiled rice (optionally with some cheap wheat flour) to make homemade dashi or dashi rolls, to impress someone. Heck, if you know someone who can afford to spend more on food, you could try to make cheap meals and offer them to buy some ingredient which is out of your budged so you both can eat a nicer meal, and so you get a nicer-tasting meal or some meat or other ingredient, and that person gets to eat a tasty meal without having to drive somewhere or have it delivered, and maybe even cheaper than there. Heck, with such a deal, you could even use the opportunity to try to learn cooking in general, and set up a group for cooking and eating together, in which you get help cooking and get some of the more expensive ingredients bought by others, and you do the cooking. Or you could simply cook food for a week (assuming you have a fridge), and then announce people that you have 5 plates/bowls of food which cost you a certain amount to make (including your labour and fuel), and you're exchanging them for that money to your friends (to avoid having to pay taxes for cooking the meal you eat). Heck, if you have a tripod for the phone, you can use it to record yourself cooking (you can mute the whole video to remove swearing and other speaking), publish the videos in which to show the things you used, and use that as an online business which is losing money, to have the food you eat deducted from your taxes. If you work a job which gets you money, or you sell something (goods or services) legally, then you can deduct the costs of the foods you make in the video from the taxes, leaving you with less money to pay in taxes. If you can use that cooking youtube channel to make money, like thorough sponsorships (companies gift you products to test, or promoting their products in your videos) or you use fund-raisers to get money for certain things, then you can do the same thing to reduce the income tax from those.

All my favorite budget meals are as Larry would call it "Italian Inspired" one of my go-to meals is sautéing some veggies (zucchini, squash, peppers, broccoli, or whatever is on sale) in some olive oil and garlic, adding some chunks of chicken breast, and then simmering it all together in some red sauce. Season to taste. Add salt, Italian seasonings, red pepper flakes, or whatever you want. Then you have a delicious easy meal.

It's not that low income have to rely on these disgusting foods, it's that too many are uneducated on how to cook from whole natural ingredients. Chicken and pork are very affordable, you can buy a whole chicken for around $6 and a whole pork shoulder for under $10. Pasta, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes are all very affordable, as are frozen vegetables. A person just has to know how to cook and season them and put them together. I eat out a lot because I can currently afford it right now and I'm lazy, but I've been poor several times in the past and knowing how to cook good food from scratch allowed me to eat very well for very little. It's an important skill to learn for anyone.

[@TheAngryAustrian]

You should do more of these to prepare for the upcoming stockmarket crash.

[@jeffw1267]

It hasn't crashed yet, though gas prices are up 90 cents and inflation is up after Biden "won" five months ago.

[@suegeorge998]

You are doing such good works teaching people how to survive on a dime basically. So many of us are grateful to you. Thank you.

[@joshdudley3078]

My kids are spoiled and have idea what it's like to not have or go without. My wife and I both grew up not hungry but with plenty of wants and needs. Powder milk gov cheese unlabeled peanut butter. I really love these vids. Takes me back to my childhood.

[@katherineeckrich2039]

I put these recipes on Twitter whenever I find one of yours. You're doing an incredible service to many people that desperately need help. I said thank you once before I say it again Thank you

[@randywatson8347]

Hiya Larry! Almost 03:50 😂 I would change the alfredo sauce with flour and butter to make roux and add milk and black pepper. Perhaps the budget allows some freshly chopped scallions.

[@jordynstanley9050]

God bless you Mr.Wolfepit. I recent left my job that I hated and was killing me and took one that makes me happier and let’s me have a normal life but I make less money. Your budget videos have given me knowledge to feed me and my family on a tighter budget and hope that if I work harder and save now, I can get to where I want to be and be able to provide my family comfort and security. Thank you!

[@petergriffiinbirdistheword]

World's most depressing meal... Also, World's most smartest meal! It depends on your situation. Anyone who has ever been homeless or fell on hard times would appreciate videos like this. Others will just complain about it. 😊

[@jb6712]

No, not so; the "world's most depressing meal" is Liver and onions with okra as the hot veg, a cucumber salad (cukes in any form at all), white bread & margarine, and then Jell-o for dessert. THAT is seriously depressing! 🤮

[@Mendosa666]

Little tip for the sauce, if you absolutely wanna get every little drip of sauce, any sauce really, it helps to swish around a little water to help get the rest of the sauce from the edges of the can. The extra water will evaporate while you let the sauce simmer for a bit so it won't taste watered down

[@Joseph_Stalin5]

THE MANS BACK!

[@rory5693]

thank you for making these videos for everyone who needs it. i have a lot of friends who grew up poor and i know i may need these videos once im out of high school and living on a budget so you are really helping a lot of people

[@skiny104]

I never thought about finishing the noodles in the sauce

[@Firsona]

It's a great idea.The noodles get well coated and you're less likely to have a watery puddle under your dish.

[@toma.4808]

Larry, ive been a longtime fan/viewer of your channel for a few years now. I have to say your budget meal videos really taught me how to get more for my buck and how to stretch it just right.thank you for all the time and effort you put into making these videos. For us- the people!

[@dillxdough]

“We don’t want to out the KZbinr so OUR fans don’t attack him...” Who the hell is out here is following that social media so closely? Lmao

[@jakewebb7995]

People are crazy lol

[@KIrvin_The_Scholar]

I'm fortunate & blessed enough to be able to eat whatever I choose to buy but I can't even begin to express how much I appreciate when you make these types of videos. Not just price friendly but tasty as well. Keep it up my friend

[@brittanymariep]

I missed your videos!! So glad you’re back.

[@rainnmoon114]

I LOVE DOLLAR TREE! I don't buy food from there yet because I don't live on my own, but my family knows I'm obsessed with that store. Right now it's cleaning supplies, but i wander the aisles in awe of what they have to offer. Some members of my family only eat name brand stuff but dollar tree literally has knock off items that are practically the same and i love it!

[@GhostStealth590]

Interesting timing for this recipe. Our area in the midwest is having a shortage of premade alfredo sauces. My dad lucked out and got one for 4$, but there were some jars priced at 8$ at the market.

[@UBvtuber]

Now the midwest is struggling with sriracha sauce

[@notdone123456]

You could also add some milk to stretch the sauce a little more and use chicken for an even cheaper meat, and frozen veggies would be a good way to add healthy bulk for cheap

[@BeckyA59]

I'd trust you over that defunct food company any time. Great series and this actually looked delicious!

[@BubbaVegas]

I really appreciate your channel....When I was younger we were very poor and shared every meal to make sure we had enough ...... and taught me how to stretch a dollar, so really enjoy your channel keep it up

[@KnowledgeTv___]

Damn u put a bad processed food company out of business 😂🤣😅 better watch your back 👀

[@neontd]

which one

[@KromeDrone]

@@neontd Chef's Request Foods went bankrupt in Apirl of last year.

[@Iamsigma79]

Let’s be honest chef’s requested foods would’ve still went out of business if anything the Wolfe pit gave them a little longer to live 😂

[@Salvador2237]

It makes me so happy that this information is out there for those who need it, but so sad that anyone in "the greatest country on earth" would have to go through that kind of struggle.

[@gamermartin6204]

dude thats so funny that chefs whatever got all pissy at you on social media.

[@nessa6135]

Ive been a subscriber of yours for over a year now and I just want to say thank you so much for these reviews as someone who also has a tight budget and frequents dollar tree your reviews have saved me from many poor purchases i would have made no doubt and inspire me for new item combinations! Good work Every dollar counts

[@Kskillz2]

I hope that we get our first what are we eating in 2021

[@bubblez4859]

Your truly doing a service for those struggling out there, keep up the great work

[@jamesbrunner741]

Budget chili. You can probably feed a family of 8 three times from that

[@jamesbrunner741]

Does this mean you'll do it, Larry?

[@hawky225]

You can also save a bit of the pasta water and use it to rinse the sauce cans, to get all that stuff sticking to the sides off and into the pan.

[@lkjhb1]

it makes the sauce runny and stuff though

[@hoginava1315]

This man still sacrificing his body for science and the people.

[@kimberlyhayes653]

I love these videos! Thank you for reminding me that even though I can't always give my kids a five star meal, they are fed, they have healthy food and we should all be grateful when we don't have to go to bed hungry. 1st world problems when you want to treat your at-home kitchen like a restaurant...

[@gnarlyturtle5403]

Chef's requested foods: makes one bad product Wolfe: I'm going to end this man's whole career

[@Longeno55]

Amazing as always how we can all enjoy a great meal even on a budget. You and Mrs. Wolfe Pit are a God send!

[@1xsandrax1]

Your reviews are always honest! Love watching your videos. Also, when I used to be on a budget these are great videos! Now I am not on an extremely low budget anymore and still love these videos, really great! Thank you for another great video!

[@TTVBunnyDougie]

I absolutely love your voice. It's so calming as you prepare this FIRE ass meals!! :D

[@stevew6138]

Keep'em coming Larry, millions of Americans may have to depend on these video's to survive in the near future.

[@emilywelch2101]

your videos help me survive while im still in college living by myself! your channel is wonderful sir and I appreciate your videos!!

[@Seamus3051]

Thanks for the tips. You're channel is an undeclared public service. Continue the good work, its' much appreciated by those of us who don't sleep on " silk sheets " ... Cheers.

[@hmm5396]

dude given the economy these videos as well as the hoover stew one is a life saver thank you for teaching young people how to cook on a budget i am forever grateful sir

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

Thank you for sharing this budget friendly recipe. Budgeting better with my groceries has been on my mind with the rising prices. This kind of video is very helpful for me and I am sure many other people right now. I try to budget best I can but I know I can always learn. I make cooking videos too so you know I’m making lots of food so every penny I can save on groceries counts. I hope that we can continue to learn from each other. Never stop learning and growing!

[@Jaymunnie]

Chicken and biscuit pot pie 1 can of biscuits 2 cans of mixed veggies 2 cans of "cream of" soup 2 cans of chunk white meat chicken. Preheat the oven for the biscuits, heat up the veggies, soup and chicken in cast iron until thickened, lay the biscuits on top, bake accordingly. Done.

[@silencerwwolf]

If you rinse the noodles before cooking them, you’ll wash away the starches contained on the surface. Since less starches will dissolve in the pasta water as the noodles boil, the pasta water is going to come out less starchy and the sauce will have a harder time clinging to the noodles themselves. This also happens when you stir the pasta often when it is cooking. Stir it when it first put in the water and 1 more half way to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

[@ll4680]

We are living through a Great Depression and videos like these are so helpful to families

[@ItsSusieQue96]

This is NOTHING CLOSE to as bad as the Great Depression... It WILL be if people don’t start working toward the common good ...

[@majortom1538]

I grew up where both my parents worked and we still lived paycheck to paycheck so being the oldest, I had to cook for my siblings and pastas and bread were my go to because they expand in your stomach so you can eat less and still feel full. Fried egg and spam sandwiches and butter noodles with bits of lunchmeat ( bologna, turkey, etc) were among their favorite

[@ultramet]

Sure beats the Olive Garden at a fraction of the cost. In these tough times, this is the creativity we need.

[@quinnlee-miller9792]

Xtreme budget garlic toast: Loaf of bread, tub of butter and garlic powder; you can brush melted butter with the GP in it on the bread and bake them for even more garlic bread per dollar, possibly. At the very least, its something for the kids to do to get involved!

[@monkeyb1820]

look for Johnny's Garlic spread. Mix it with your warmed butter or oil, smear on bread.

[@Bellpepper402]

Thanks for posting videos like this. I saw some people say that stuff like this is common sense and in a way, yes it is, but if you have the misfortune of having unreliable parents or a rough upbringing you still have to learn these kind of things the same way a child has to learn 'common sense' lessons like not to draw on the walls with crayons. If you look at the views for videos like "How to fry an egg", it's obvious that this is not an uncommon situation for people to be in. Additionally, if you're in that kind of situation, you're also pretty likely to be in a financially tight situation, so videos like these really do help people.

[@scrappydooinalobstercostum4523]

Thank you so much larry. My family is going through so finicial problems and this will be perfect for us. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@VegasTipsandTricks]

Appreciate these videos. A lot of people are struggling right now they are helpful.

[@alecgerhardt2963]

That actually looks super good!! My favorite budget meal is daal, we used to use whatever left over carrot tops and whatnot and boil them down with lentils, and serve on rice. Absolutely delicious, nutritious, and cheap as can be!

[@edwinkirkland8856]

Thank you sir,you LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE..SERIOUSLY..O AND NOW, HITTING ALL THE DOLLAR FRANCHISE..GOD BLESS YOU SIR

[@mint5438]

Both of my parents work extremely hard, yet we have just enough to eat mandatory meals left over. Thankfully, there are some times where we can get a few extras at the grocery store, and I plan on using some of your recipes for the times when we can't. God bless you and your family man. Thank you.

[@jeffw1267]

When I was young and poor I used to eat raw oats to fill up between meals. It's a boring food but it's cheap and pretty healthy and has lots of fiber. It made me appreciate the small portions of good-tasting food I had.

[@americanletsplay7231]

Thank you being creative while on budget this made me realize and change shrimp some leftover meatball added some leftover carrot, potatoes, breadstick
