[@MsRevDebbie]

I love your mashed potato balls recipe! I receive lots of instant mashed potatoes and canned meat (beef, pork, chicken, tuna and salmon) in my food pantry hauls. I would substitute one of those canned meat/fish items for the ground turkey, season appropriately from my pantry, and wrap the mashed potatoes around that and then fry them. Thank you for a brilliant idea!

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

Sounds good!

[@agodlyhome]

I think it's very important to very your fruits and vegetables so that you get the right nutrition. I loved that you bought the strawberries! If someone was on a really tight budget the strawberries would make them feel like they had something special! The meals looked very good

Thank you for mentioning the vitamins in the items purchased. Some people think there are no nutrients in anything but veggies

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

I know -- so many good nutritious out there to eat!

[@dorgan96]

I loved that you did not have onions or peppers in this as I am allergic and cannot eat them. Instead of the cilantro I would have used frozen spinach or frozen green peas for 70cents at walMart. I loved the fact you used strawberries instead of bananas. Rice cereal or rice pudding is delicious. I would have chopped them up finer and covered in sugar to make a sauce of it and add to the cereal. Would have made it much more flavorful. Something you can use sometime is about 3 packages of crush ramen noodles with a can of chicken or tuna and a can of peas or mixed vegetables which is only 58 cents a can at Walmart. You can also make a soup with ramen noodles and a small can of chicken with mixed vegetables and seasoning packets from the ramen. If you have enough money add a 70 cent can of chopped mushrooms to it to fill up more. Thst would easily make a casserole and a pot of soup to last 7 days

[@TheQuaintHousewife]

I've been in the mood for canned chicken lately. And I love peas and noodles.

I’d love to try the potato balls! Thanks for sharing!!

[@tiamotzz]

@@TheQuaintHousewife do you have a video using canned chicken?

[@Droppedonmyhead1]

I was kind of thinking the same thing. I would’ve use green peas or broccoli florettes. You can get a bag of either one for about a $1 at Walmart. I think it really was amazing at how very little she purchased and she was able to make so many meals out of it all. She did a really great job at that!

[@trishoconnor2169]

A few videos ago, I left a comment about pantry items, and I can tell you have really taken that feedback to heart. I think it makes your challenge videos richer by pushing your creativity. In this video, the pantry items were pretty basic, like vegetable oil, shortening, salt pepper, a sprinkling each of sugar and garlic powder, a squirt of ketchup. More if you happen to have it, like some more spices, soy sauce and vanilla extract, but a person could absolutely make these dishes with just the bare basics. I also think it's good that you don't always get, for example, bananas. I love bananas, and they are one of the most affordable fresh fruits, but I have a sister who is allergic to them, and I'll bet some others are, too. It's good being able to offer options.

[@tonyaparham2654]

Yes, it's nice to see options other than bananas (which I do love. I think a jar of applesauce would also have been a good substitute for bananas.

The turkey dumplings were really fun! I would eliminate the cilantro because I do not like it. I don't know if maybe I have that cilantro soap gene but unfortunately I just do not care for it. I would sub in another herb. A lot of times the only other fresh herb available at many stores around here is parsley which would work well. Thanks for making this video

I’m glad to watch your cheap meals videos. While I have been enjoying the extra money on my food stamps card from the covid pandemic support, I’ve heard thru the grapevine that extra money will shortly be disappearing, so I’ll be going back to roughly $40 a month. While I have picked up a lot of pantry staples, like beans, rice, and various pastas, I know I’ll have to tighten my belt up again.

Rebekah, I didn't know there was extra SNAP due to covid but glad you are getting it. I hope the $40 won't put you in limbo food-wise. Very smart of you to stock up when you can! XOXO

I would have to sub out the cilantro, or coriander as we call it here in Australia. I’d probably sub it for basil, parsley or spring onion. I don’t know if I could eat the breakfast. That’s where I fall down on these challenges as I hate cooked cereals. It’s a texture thing. Typically, the cheapest breakfast I make is toast and vegemite. Now that’s an acquired taste lol 😆 Great video as always 👏🏻

You could go English and have toast and beans. She can swap out 1lb rice for bread. Beans from pantry. Cilantro for spring onions.

Thankfully loaves of bread can come very cheap in the U.S. so toast is very budget friendly! Is it the same where you are?

Very creative . Those mashed potato balls looked delicious fried. It reminded me of something we make mostly fir special occasions called arancini, which is the same concept but rice instead of mashed potatoes and a bit of marinara sauce and peas in the meat mixture. So I probably would have done that with the turkey. I probably would have made tacos with the other half or meatballs.

Fried rice, the perfect frugal delish money saving meal.

I started making this when I literally had to rely on the free packets of soy sauce and other condiments I could gather at really where ever I COULD. It is still a hard habit to break. Mayo, jelly, salad dressing, ranch cup..... I use them now for school lunches or work lunches. Thanks for posting you are always so creative 😁 p.s.......we are a white rice family, I just can't eat the brown rice, but it is much better for you!!

[@trishoconnor2169]

Kroger sells quart size and pint size bottles of milk.

You know because the date will be really far out and it will say on the bottle to refrigerate after opening. I have kept a bottle sitting on a shelf for a month and then opened it and yup perfectly fine. My dad being older doesn't always drink milk so the quart size is perfect plus it isn't too heavy for him to lift.

You will probably not be able to get fruit & dairy on $10. Eggs have shot up to $3 per dozen in my area, which only provides 72 grams of protein per dozen. Prices on dried beans have also shot up, $1.50 - $2.00 per pound, but sometimes you can still find a variety that is near $1.00 (I was able to get red beans this week for $0.99/lb (stocked up 5lbs). Dried beans have 9 - 13 servings per pound, 7 - 10 grams of protein per serving, they are also loaded with minerals, fiber, and some B-vitamins. For 2 vegetables, get 1lb dark green leafy vegetable (spinach, kale, collards, etc.) and 1lb deep orange (sweet potato, carrots), for highest vitamins & mineral content. Descending protein content in starch foods: wheat, oats, rice, potatoes, corn (corn is extremely low in nutrients, do not recommend on extreme budgets). Look for chicken leg quarters (you can make schmaltz from fat/skin, broth from bones) or chicken livers for animal protein.
