EASY $1 Dinners for COLLEGE STUDENTS! GOOD FOOD for CHEAP

[@caymanchristopher7014]

I am sharing your videos with young people I encounter that need financial help. Most of them spend weekly on takeout more than what you feed your entire family on. They just can’t conceive of any other way and consider it a failure they can’t do takeout. Hopefully some will listen.

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

How sweet and encouraging! Thank you SO MUCH!

[@jillgott6567]

I find alot of them were not taught to make simple meals. That is why they rely on takeout.

[@caymanchristopher7014]

@@jillgott6567 correct! When I ask about meal prep they say they don’t know how. Plus, take out has gotten even more expensive and now it takes up a ridiculous part of their budgets.

[@tammys5687]

I’ve been trying to save money on groceries and one of the things I’ve been reminding myself is that the food I’ve already purchased is money already spent, and rather than buying more food at the store I’ve been trying to make dinner from the pantry/freezer. I haven’t been as organized as I should have been, but this week went really well!

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

This is exactly what tomorrow’s video is about!!!

[@jillgott6567]

I like your videos because you are genuine . Mistakes happen, we all do the best we can so know your viewers appreciate you. A can of Green Beans at Walmart is $.64. It is not 16 ounces . So, if you use a pound of green beans you could multiply $.64x 2 = $1.28 or $.32/ person. My hair is thinning too I will try to use bone broth more often. Please update us on how it works for you.

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

Thank you so much.

Love all of these. I recently started cooking sheet pan eggs and I love them scrambled with different add ins. Thanks for your videos!

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

Sheet pan eggs? I’ve never heard!

[@cackie8813]

They are very fast and customizable. You can also prepare ahead for meals. I just learned about these. There are videos, love them!

Love your videos and how honest you are with them. You are a great cook and mother! Looks delicious!💗

How kind ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi, popping by to say your voice is so nice! My family makes a good bbq sauce similar to yours. Might be good with some liquid smoke added. Those potatoes sound so good.

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

Thank you so much. I am always afraid my voice is off putting. Thanks for encouraging me! ❤️❤️

[@susans9491]

I just love your videos! They are so uplifting and encouraging, and I always draw inspiration from them. Your content is so down to earth and homey, I feel as though I’m visiting an old friend. I did have one thought, if you add just a splash of vinegar to your bone broth while it’s cooking it will draw extra calcium out of the bones. Unless you really go crazy with it and add a lot, you’ll never taste it. ❤

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

Thank you!! Was that you that told me that before?? Because I totally forgot until you just reminded me of it! I will try to remember next time! I need to start making notes!

[@susans9491]

@@homemadesimplewithlori I may have mentioned it before, I tell everyone I know that makes broth and is health minded. We may as well get every last bit of nutrition out of our groceries!❤️

I can take these ideas and use with my Food Pantry food. I have bags of rice,beans and lentils. I need ideas for those . Thanks in advance. Your voice is so soothing.. I am 65 and disabled. We are in TN. Go 🏀 🏉 Vols... We are on a tight budget . So simple and cheap recipes are for me. God bless you and all here. ✝️ ❤🙏

[@madelineeverritt8874]

Interesting. I was born in Chicago. Then when I turned 7 years old, we moved to Romeoville. That was a very long time ago. Lol We haven't been back up there in in 88 I now live in Alabama. Sometimes I miss it up there. I definitely don't miss the ice and snow. Lol Have a great weekend.

Hey Lori great meals ans love that its budget friendly! Take care and have a great day!

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

Thank you!!!!

[@josupermom2042]

Zucchini, potatoes, cooked ground meat and Velveeta cheese. I slice the potatoes and the zucchini and then fry them in a skillet once they are cooked through I add the cooked meat (usually leftover from something else). and the Velveeta put a lid on it and heat until the cheese is melted.

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

Ooooohhhhhhh! That’s a good idea!

This is my fav type of videos you make. I love these very inspiring. I love how you actually cook...none of the dumping cans in a pot ( nothing is wrong with that btw however its not what im interested in ) . Thank you ❤

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

Thank you for that feedback! Views had gone down pretty bad a few months ago so I thought I would give another format a chance. I think the frugal life videos are the way to go. I appreciate everyone’s patience as I try to figure out what works best. I enjoy making videos but having videos that no one watches is a real bummer, so I am trying to decipher which ones will be more enjoyable for everyone! ❤️

[@gina1195]

You are doing great. I think your followers are a great support system. Our family loves watching you. And life's about trying new things right😊 😊😊😊 ...but for me these videos are where it's at lol

[@madelineeverritt8874]

It all looks delicious. We're planning on having tacos tomorrow. Nothing fancy. Walmart had turkey sausage. I bought 2 pounds of it to go in the hamburger meat, and taco seasoning. Lol We may have to taste test before we keep adding the taco seasoning. My son, Ryan can handle spices. He can add nore to his. Those baked potatoes and BBQ chicken really looked good. My husband can't really eat potatoes because of the starches. i definitely want to try it though. Have a blessed weekend ❤

If you need to grate/shred a cheese thats soft, put it in the freezer for 15-30 min before sgredding.

A multi and more protein made my hair super thick, healthy and soft/shiny. It took time. Women need at the very least 46g a day or your body starts to breakdown muscle, the more the better. I think a cup of some store bought bone broth is maybe 8g. A chicken breast is around 27g, for reference. I do an equate quinoa pea protein shake w fruit or pb every day. Boom, 30g! Collagen supplements go where needed most, regardless of the marketing on the label just fyi.

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

Thank you so much! The collagen is what I was going for so I’ll add that too!

[@shaunaleessnackidies]

@@homemadesimplewithlori well it will only go where your body needs it most first, like a knee, hip, etc, otherwise save your money but bone broth homemade is obviously great for you anyway, and for gut health

[@BlessedMomof7]

From your experience, how much bigger are the rotisserie chickens at costco compared to the ones at walmart?

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

I literally have zero experience 😂. I’ve only started buying them recently and have gotten them from Costco and Sam’s. They seem to be the same. I’m sure someone else will know.

it is called set of the pants cooking!!!! lol and that is how the best recipes start.... So give yourself a break!!

[@qq1651]

Hair loss = needs more protein and less carbs. You didnt mention if you liked the white enchiladas and the chili mac you made?? Were they delicious or just ok? I just usually use a box of mac and cheese and add either left over chili to it or a can of chili with beans (beans add protein) and there is meat in the chili too.

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

I didn’t know that! But it fits me perfectly, so I will eat more protein! Thank you! The enchiladas were AMAZING. I loved them! The chili Mac was also really good. Not as good as the enchiladas but definitely a 8.5/10!

[@ireneroy8820]

How much were those potatoes? They are a lot here for those huge potato

[@homemadesimplewithlori]

58c per pound so $5.80 for 10 lb. My friend brought the ones that weren’t wrapped. I cut a few in half, too.
