Eating for $27.50 for a Week from Dollar Tree | How to Stretch Food | Low Grocery Budget Meals

[@keisenburg9828]

I live by myself on a budget, and I can't tell you how much your videos have helped me have extra money in my pocket each month, while still eating like a king!

[@dreamscape405]

Me too!! I can't believe how good, and satisfying her recipes are!! Spent $45, and have food for 6 weeks!! Amazing 🥂

[@allyrooh3628]

"I'm just walking a mile in someone else's shoes". That is a very compassionate way to approach these videos. Thanks for that

[@tracieschrock9519]

you're a angel for doing these videos..people need these now more than ever

[@DollarTreeDinners]

Thank you! I hope they help ❤️

[@tracieschrock9519]

@@DollarTreeDinners I'm sure they do

[@guitarlover1204]

I literally screamed at the middle of the video I never, ever thought about splitting my meals in half and just eating the rest whenever I feel like snacking you're an absolute genius

[@barrez9307]

THANK YOU so MUCH! I cant even afford $25 a week but, this gives me some great ideas BE GRATEFUL for what GOD has Given you! LIFE could be worse much worse!

Try Frugal Fit Mom- How to Eat for $15 a Week

[@Lee-fb4oj]

Putting frugality aside, I enjoy egg noodles with brown gravy, just as much as when beef is added. Gravies, whether they are beef, chicken or homemade white gravy, give so much flavor that is satisfying.

[@tanyamckinnon5376]

And filling! I make it all the time. Sometimes i out some meatballs in it

[@wenchyfoodwench4098]

Gravy’s one of my favorite things about any meal. My Mama had gravy magic….mine’s pretty good but she was the gravy whisperer. I loved just gravy on bread for leftovers 😀

[@coloradopackratprepper]

For milk in my oatmeal, sometimes i use coffee creamer powder, plain and esp vanilla, makes it very creamy n yummy!!!!

[@BrittasCreepyTreasures]

Ramen tip. A touch of ranch makes it creamy and have a touch of the ranch flavor it's bomb! A bottle could stretch a long time too or could be used for dipping with lots of other foods or put on veggies to make them more appealing to kids! I looooove ranch on cooked broccoli!

[@kimberlee3243]

I am loving the ravioli lasagne! So easy, I use 2 packages of ravioli in an 8x8 pan and get 4 servings

[@katherinestojanovski6734]

Me too! I make this regularly. If I want to get fancy I add a layer of spinach in between the ravioli layers. Those ravioli are pretty good, especially for the price. I’m glad to find someone else who likes them too. 😊

[@luiysia]

i hope your channel catches on on youtube as well, you are helping so many people! love your recipes❤

[@DollarTreeDinners]

I hope so too! So much harder to get a following here I feel like but I’ll keep trying 🥰

[@sharonhart3735]

I think you're doing magic for alot people.

[@DollarTreeDinners]

Thank you 🥰

[@cathiecollins7320]

Watching your older videos and I LOVE your alien mug!

[@AmandasBudgets]

Thank you again fir not calling it a challenge - we bulk ship 2-4 times a year and then limp our way through the rest of the times. I bulk shop canned and dry goods and then full my deep freezer with meats and frozen stuff we can afford

[@samuelgarcia5730]

I’m new to this channel and I gotta say your channel is by far one the best . Full of recipes and info . I’m binge watching all the videos! Hope this channel goes big !!! Great job !

[@laurac5451]

I really appreciate you buying the food and showing us how you cook it. I was looking for a healthy dollar tree thing but the person just talked didn't show how to make what she was talking about. This way that you do it. It works well for me with widow's brain

[@donnaj1546]

When I was broke I ate hot dogs wrapped in bread and toasted to make them like a huge pigs in blanket. That plus ramen and I went to 7-11 and got the lunch special of two hotdogs and a giant drink. Not much nutrition but always full.

[@charinnatheirish1800]

I love your TNBC mug! I want one for myself! You always have such great ideas. Living in a low income, single income home, my husband and I always appreciate any and all recipes to help us stretch our dollars! Great video! Love from WI! 🙂🙂💖💖💯

[@alidaroxana12]

Ok I’m definitely making the ramen and tostada filling 🤤 that’s a proper hook up

[@eathomelive]

It looks yummy. I am going to make it without the beef.

[@tammybenadventures4839]

I hope you make more of these weekly videos I love it!

[@DollarTreeDinners]

I hope so too! I always have so many ideas but I feel like overall these are the most helpful ones

[@kippytx]

You did great! Suggestion: try getting baking mix. I use it to make quiche, pancakes, cobbler etc.

[@LolliMolly09]

I'd love to see how you did your hair on day one, it looks like you had it put up and then took it down and had all the curls

[@pigoff123]

We were raised without snacks. Occasionally we had a bowl of fruit to choose from all week. My mom fed us 3 meals a day or sometimes we got to eat at school. We spent our time outside playing on the playground or just roaming around playing cowboys and Indians or cops and robbers. I don't ever remember being hungry. We ate as much dinner or supper as we needed.

[@lizpimentel2566]

I was raised in the late 90s and early 00s and I remember my early childhood being a lot like this. Mostly because I was being watched by my grandparents a lot and they went by these same methods, 3 meals a day, sometimes a hard candy in between lol. My parents didn't have a lot of money too so it was the same situation at home. When I got a little older my mom relied on snacks and convenience foods a lot more.

[@jillistair9118]

You are so clever and creative! I'm always so happy to see a new video from you!

[@DollarTreeDinners]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@Wendy-pajamadays68]

I love Celeste pizza in the microwave. The bread is soft. Yum.

[@candyeolney30]

I love these videos. Thanks for sharing your creative ways of eating on a tight budget.

[@jerrieanderson2245]

I’m going to make the tostadas recipe. I may omit the hamburger. It all looked good.

[@libertywest5835]

so i’m trying to be more frugal - your ideas are amazing- i’m also finiding some of the things i normaly buy are actually cheaper per oz at the dollar tree ….

[@sandraschick1916]

This is one of my favorite videos! These are foods I would enjoy. Thank you so much. I also want to tell you that you are sooooo beautiful! 😁

[@pam66magg99]

Love watching you making these recipes. They look so good!

[@DollarTreeDinners]

Glad you like them! 🥰

[@barbarawalker3366]

Nice job! 😋

[@cynthiadunsmore1253]

If you need a cookie, make them homemade...one cup PB, one cup sugar, and one egg...you can add chocolate chips... refrigerate for about 10 mins...i spread mine out in my cast iron skillet and just make one big cookie! Love your channel!

[@joannaazar7396]

Good morning Rebecca! Catching up on your videos. Your meals look delicious. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@bunnidarling4887]

absolutely not at all related to the video but the curly half up piggytail situation you had going on in your hair in one of the clips was SO CUTE ON YOU!!!!

[@MasterKey_44]

This is amazing 🤩

[@DebbieandEddieBFF]

Very impressed. Learned a few things. Saving this video ❤

[@nicolearntz7809]

Love your videos! You’ve inspired me to try new foods and dishes. Thank you!!

[@symplybeingme]

I just came across your channel, thank you for sharing recipes they are so helpful you should do an ebook 😊

[@junemaybe]

U created beautiful cookies 🍪 i appreciate this video. Ive never seen any of ur content prior to this but bc of what /how im dealing with, I guess the algorithm pushed ur video out as something i might be interested in. A good support system is much needed. I have a small channel here on yt. Its my wish to offer hope & inspiration as well as just being real as to how I feel & how to manage through & just cope. Being ill & in pain, especially bc we don't look sick all the time, the judgements cause isolation. The struggles are real! Thank u for being honest 🌻 🌻

[@sunniertimer598]

Awesome! Thanks ! Nice video too!!

[@itstorisstory]

Can you do health and beauty related videos? Budget friendly? Also I have learned too cook just by watching you I love your videos to!

[@andreawinn4190]

I really liked this video-for some people a dollar tree is their only food option. Have you ever crunched the numbers regarding calories etc?

[@angelawhite2307]

Good job! :)

[@DonaAllen-f5u]

❤ more of these please so yummy 😋

[@jasminesjourney9318]

I love your videos!

[@dianenugent3666]

Where do you shop at dollar tree? I live in SimpsonvilIe South Carolina and the dollar tree in my town had only 2 of the products you used. I went in twice with no success. I told the employees they should start watching u-tube but they said management doesn't care what the customers want.

[@DollarTreeDinners]

From what I understand the dollar trees get auto shipped inventory from corporate, the individual stores and managers don’t have control over what they are sent and it’s based on an algorithm

[@lauriegarant1574]

The Knorr sides are $1.16 at my Walmart.

[@venusasmr9541]

Have you has the Healthy Balance juice jugs? Would be a grwat thing to include they are so so delicious even after diluting them with water and dollar tree has a lot of flavors the whole things lasts quite awhile 😊❤

Can that lemon water be served cold?

[@Laguns-ij4hn]

Snacking is my downfall!

[@marthalouise701]

I have reservations about where my food comes from. Just wondering if you’ve had your blood work done when you eat only Dollar Tree food over a long period of time?

[@wryterzblock]

Some people can't afford to have reservations.

[@marthalouise701]

@@wryterzblock I didn’t mean it to sound rude at all. If I could, I would be shopping at Trader Joe’s or somewhere that I could buy organic. I can’t as I’m on disability with no food assistance. But I do use coupons and shop at Kroger. I can eat for $25 a week shopping from there. I am truly interested in seeing blood work particularly blood pressure/sodium levels of those that eat only dollar store items.
