I don't know why I'm watching this. I live in Glasgow, Scotland, so we don't have a dollar tree but I just love your videos xxx

[@bethwillis3690]

Do you have anything similar?

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Thank you!! 😂

[@valerief1231]

Cuz you’re the ultimate MVP, and we love you for it! I’m adopted and got a DNA kit for Christmas, found out I’m 25% Scottish so now, just like Brooke doesn’t know what to do with her hands I feel like I don’t know what to do with this awesome information, should I learn the accent? I mean idk if I could ever pull it off, my Texas accent is pretty twangy (I don’t hear it lol) according to my grandson who accused me of talking like a “cow girl” lol, I’m a city girl whose only ridden a horse a few times!!!

[@carolcrombie6727]

Yep, glasgow, scotland here too - these 'foods' definitely not available here. But your facial expressions had me in stitches 😂

[@theresarogerssimpson1280]

😂

[@priscillahernandez5701]

I love how Ryder always puts his arm around you, shows his love for his awesome mama!

[@villavillain]

He surely does! My son does the same and I love it.❤

[@stefaniebellano9707]

I am dying laughing at the reaction to the jerk chicken and beef pies. Lol

[@DebbieandEddieBFF]

OMG ME TOO!!!

[@bethpowell6466]

Guess I’m weird…I like them.

[@joltjolt5060]

I love them, but FRIED not microwaved.

[@CaliMishell]

Ryder looks so grown up. It’s been fun watching your littles turn into bigs. You’re a great Mama, Brooke!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Thank you so much!!

[@judycounterman1458]

My Grandaughter thinks Ryder is SO Cute

[@Tsiri09]

I was homeless for nearly three years, living in a tent. I did eat a lot from DT. Bought a lot that had more than one serving such as mashed potatoes, soup mixes. I did buy some frozen food. No microwave needed- just a hot pan heated over a sterno or butane stove on low.

[@rebeccaplasters2964]

I hope you're housed and in a better situation now. I admire your "survival" instinct. I've never been un-housed but close. It is scary.

[@maryattix1734]

I love those spring rolls are the bomb every time I go to a dollar tree I check to see if they have those.

[@jmknudsen5357]

I put those in the air fryer. Then warm up pre-made rice to go with it.

[@kencurtis2403]

I love them too lol. Occasionally will grab a package and eat for lunch.

[@taytayfresh34]

I haven't been able to find them for years!! But I used to get a bunch of them at a time, maybe everyone else started doing the same and I've just been out of luck lol

[@andreadefrancisci6479]

Brooke I just love how much Ryder show us how much he loves you. I just think it's wonderful how he's so affectionate with you. And he's turning out to be a good-looking young man. You have great children

[@vanessalumbra9409]

Dollar tree meals are really expensive when you consider what you get. I bought a steak there once. I was so excited as I can't normally afford steak on my tiny social security check. When I got home and opened the package, it was a very thin piece of shaved steak folded over a few times. Basically luncheon meat. I once saw a youtuber make a dollar tree Thanksgiving dinner. It costs her 75 dollars! And she thought it was a bargain. And it was turkey luncheon meat ( sandwich meat) she used. You can buy a whole turkey on sale for about 8 bucks. The rest is cheap for sides when made from scratch. So, at a regular store for turkey and sides would be about 20-25 dollars. Dollar tree is good for buying cleaning supplies etc, but not food.

[@jpinlasvegas1736]

[@sandrahicks4450]

Cheeseburger isn't bad at all; just have to add ketchup, mustard, onions pickles lettuce tomato

[@tiffanysamuelson9262]

Yes! Another channel used the ham for a dinner from dollar tree and she said it was soooo salty! She actually soaked hers to rinse it before she made it 😂😂😂

[@jpinlasvegas1736]

Btw, I’m home for 2 months after having foot surgery, and all I can do is watch tv. (Hella not fond of my crutches, especially in a 2 story). I laughed my butt off at this video. I REALLY needed this today! Thanks Brooke and cute family!

[@jojosharp5872]

I feel for you, I have had several surgery's on my foot after a crush injury and crutches are exhausting, I hope you recover soon ❤

[@GMS222]

The GoldenKrust Mild Beef Patty is AMAZING! I lived in NY where the GoldenKrust stores are located and they taste exactly like the stores serve them. If you like Jamaican food, you will love these.

[@leemorris6400]

I love them. I use a little Chipotle Tabasco sauce on mine. I've even bought them at Sam's.

[@leemorris6400]

I cook them In the air fryer. Not in microwave.

[@amandajohnson6578]

We love them!!!

[@joltjolt5060]

I ❤the beef ones, i fry in oil to make crust flaky.

[@aimee2234]

Oh my... The meat pies😂you and Ryder's face, Brooke! You both are brave. The Tina's, I like the bean n cheese too for a quick snack. Thanks, bestie and Ryder. Congrats on 90K 🎉⭐🎉and I'll see you at 100K. Be blessed always, my Southerland Squad! xoxo

If Ryder had an English accent, he could be one of the Bridgerton brothers!

[@visiblytiffany6479]

Those big burritos are good if you throw them in the oven with some enchilada sauce and shredded cheese on top. Great for an easy family meal if you don't feel like cooking a big meal.

[@RJanke65]

@@visiblytiffany6479 Yeah! I buy the big bags of beef & bean burritos at Walmart, put in a 9x13 casserole dish, pour 28oz. red or green enchilada sauce over top, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, cover with foil, bake @ 350°F for 30 min. Then uncover & bake another 15 min or until the cheese is a little bit brown. Voilà! Lazy Enchiladas!

[@kathyhanson509]

I work at Walmart and we sell A TON of those burritos. A TON

[@thrifting_in_the_ozarks3887]

“Any Count and No Count.” I’d forgotten those sayings!! Thanks for reminding me. Love watching you and your family.

[@tracymillican2548]

Thank you Brook for trying all the 1.25 frozen food. The egg rolls are my favorite . I always keep a few in the freezer .

[@virginiaw8608]

I am not a fan of any chicken turn over. However the beef Jamaican patties, those are my absolute favorite for my childhood. We had Puerto Rican, Jamaican, Dominican, Cuban in many other nationality neighbors when I lived in South Florida. And they taught this little Irish Polish girl how to eat good. Amazing food. And those Jamaican meat pies, although not as good as fresh, or a staple and delicious meal in my childhood.❤

[@HeatherB81]

Ryder has gorgeous hair! And best quotes from this video: “Smells like a hospital waiting room” and “Looks like an apocalyptic type food” 😂

[@sharendonnelly7770]

Ryder was a great choice for you tasting buddy, he tells it like he tastes it. Funny and helpful video!

[@rebeckia2902]

I microwave the big burrito for half the time, then put it in the air fryer for a bit to get some crisp on the outside, mmmmmm The spring rolls are delicious, my son loves them.😊

[@brendahennesseereger8609]

Duck sauce goes with the Spring rolls. I air fry mine.

[@Veronica-qz7ld]

Yes 😋

[@sohinikar4058]

Hey Momma!! Those girly nails look beautiful on your beautiful hands ❤ Go girl!! Get yourself some trendy nailpolish. 😊

You’re a chicken tending, garden growing, gourmet cooking, fabulous mama, t shirt wearing , Temu nail wearing girly girl!!! And I love you!!! I’m the least girly girl on the planet even though I own $1,000s of makeup!! I wear it a couple of times a year but I love it❤❤❤

[@hamptom11]

I buy my daughter golden krust Jamaican chicken. Just as good as the beef.😀thanks for your videos and God bless you and your family.

[@KendallTerry]

All serious.... please try the pies in an air fryer. GAME CHANGER!

[@giancarlamacaluso]

OMG! It smells like a hospital may just be the best culinary description ever!!!

[@janeadams5207]

Now we will need a Ryder tries McRibs or at home McRib video.

[@kathleenchambers6485]

I’m so glad I have access to fresh food. I can’t imagine people who this is there only food store.

[@cynrok]

No one has only dollar tree stores for food,

[@forrestcollective9184]

​@@cynrokincorrect. For some that don't have cars, can get to dollar tree easily as that's the closest shop for them to get to. I watch another channel similar to this and in her comments people have said just that.

[@heathersmeather]

@@forrestcollective9184 is it Rebecca from dollar tree dinners? These videos are so helpful for alot of people. Dollar tree is my closest, walking distance store, but I’m also grateful I don’t need to rely on only that store. 😁

[@wandasellers3899]

I was in a situation for about 6 months where I had only a Family Dollar to buy food with $35 a week for 3 people. I had to walk almost two miles each way and I am disabled but I had no help, no car, no bus line, little money. Be grateful you dont have to live like that. There are still people out there who have to.

[@jadesterc9047]

I need to see if my dollar tree has these potstickers, eggrolls, and spring rolls! They look great for the price.🎉

[@leeannarickerson4585]

They are delicious. I put mine in the air fryer and dip in orange sauce.

[@joltjolt5060]

Fry them. They're great.

[@whogothere369]

Hello!, from a transplanted and very homesick Southern Mom! I love your videos ❤ Came across them yesterday. Subscribed immediately after watching. I Love how real and down to earth you and your family are! ❤😊

Me too. Yesterday.

[@jameswheeler2841]

lordy i love your vids i didn't realize i was poor growing up til i seen your vids lol, a lot of your stuff was what we ate daily and i still eat but i am a good bit older surely you have a good bean cake one nothing like a bean cake sandwich with mustard

[@LAactor]

FINALLY!!!! Somebody at last agrees with me about those darned meat pockets!! Everyone and their mama loved them and although I didn't have as much a visceral reaction as you guys did, the boy copies you I think, but nonetheless, it's not great. I bet you it would be good deep fried or pan fried. I think that's how they would do it normally. If you ever had native fry bread you know what I mean.

[@joltjolt5060]

Fried they're delish

[@elainewitwer7488]

Thanks for the heads up! Your face with the chicken and the beef hand pies,and all of them!! Actually spoke volumes! Thank you for taking it for the team! And thank you for mentioning pronunciation of sherbet! I from northern Ohio.always called it sherbert! My dad’s favorite ice cream was butter pecan. Thanks so much for your efforts and entertainment 💜💕

[@tinamarienelson8469]

The burrito would be good for lunch. If you forget your lunch and want to grab something, you can get a burrito and a lemonade for less than $3. The sandwiches are decent. They’re like the ones we got in school. Put some mayo, mustard, pickles, etc. on them to dress it up. The meat pies sell a lot in my area. I’ve never had them, but I think they use different spices that we aren’t used to. I think that’s why they taste “different.”

[@tinamariebartley8675]

Hi from another Tinamarie! I agree the fast bites are not bad I like the plain chicken ones….

[@tinamarienelson8469]

@@tinamariebartley8675 our name isn’t as common as it used to be. I went to school with lots of Tinas. Not so much anymore.

[@lisaharris5938]

You should do the egg roll and the spring rolls in the air fryer.

[@dmmrad54]

I have had the pot stickers, egg rolls and spring rolls from the Dollar Tree. I like all three. Haven't tried the others. I am scared 😂.

[@CaliMishell]

You’re welcome. HAHAHA! I have said this to my now grown up so many times. Sometimes they should be so grateful for the gatekeeping we do!

[@KathrynAnn1965]

New subscriber here, but I've been watching for months. I LOVE McRibs. I have to try the egg and spring rolls now.

[@jennybottler5003]

My mom and I always watch you! We actually refer to you as ‘Brooke’, like we’re friends lol! We both are pro McRib lol

[@theresafernandez350]

I'm surprised. Golden Krust makes excellent Jamaican food. I think you need to come to the Bronx and try it. I've bought the frozen patties, and they're great. You got a bad batch.

[@sonyafox3271]

Well, the manufacturing company maybe selling Dollar Tree their over stock, in that case they maybe giving Dollar Tree their overstock in that case they could be who knows how old, which is part of the reason why their not that fit to eat. 16:49

[@karencosta5430]

I think the patties were made badly. Also, they need to be cooked in oven or toaster oven to be flaky and a bit crispy.

[@joltjolt5060]

Nah they're just not used to the spices

[@joanjones4710]

I love the jalapeño popper bites with ranch dressing for dipping

[@user-db6mq5mi1q]

Hey Brooke, The jerk patties are the bomb. I love the one that comes in the package because that one hot. Sorry that you guys didn’t like them.

[@SuzieQ-lw2kp]

I think it's because she hasn't had that kind of flavor before I like them.

[@crabbyresister9194]

I love the bbq chicken sand and the cheeseburger and the spicy chicken is goo too! 🎉 add condiments and onion slice. 🎉

[@valerief1231]

I can’t get over “little buddy” being almost a head taller than you now lol! I like your nails, and I noticed them immediately, you always are adorable and now you’re adorable and FANCY! Congrats on hitting 90,000 subscribers ❤ Sorry I had to edit, I kept getting errors, I think cuz I was referring to those hand pies by their proper name that starts with a J, and the YT police thought I was being a J lol

I was suprised by the flavor from the freezer section. The beef & bean burrito was actually good! The sausage was good too. Perfect size for 1 .. 😊

I absolutely love your nails! I had those nails and I was like...how I use my hand now? 😆Love your taste testing videos ❤ Do it more often it is so much fun! The Jamaican meat pies are actually delicious if you make it from scratch so you should give it an other chance that way

[@sonyafox3271]

I never tried these ones, cause, I don’t get in there that much but, empanadas that they got rid of over several yrs ago were really good, it was about the only frozen food, I brought at Dollar Tree! If it looks and,smells like play dough or wet dog, I’m not touching it!m 8:51

[@saika.magoichi.214]

I grew up on those fast bites! Back then they were called micromagic and they were a lot better then they are now. The grilled chicken and cheese burger sliders are my favorite. Idk why but for some reason the smaller sliders taste better then the larger cheeseburger. It's not the greatest but if you throw on some ketchup, mayo and some extra cheese it definitely gets the job done if you need something quick and cheap.

[@juliebates6456]

You crack me up!!! 😂❤❤ I love you!! This taste testing video is my favorite. Please do more because it's so hard living on cheap groceries but can't afford expensive.

Country ham is extremely salty, nothing you would want to eat by itself, Rebecca that does the dollar tree meal's she really loves the spring rolls and the pot stickers.

[@marymitchell8717]

Fellow Rebecca fan here! She says she rinses meat she gets from the dollar tree before cooking. I know she does with the beef patties and I think I remember her doing it with the country ham too, but I might be mistaken.
