27 FOOD ITEMS YOU NEED TO BUY AT DOLLAR TREE | DOLLAR STORE HACKS JUNE 2022

Because of these videos, I froze some tortillas before they went bad and when I pulled them out to thaw, they were as good and pliable as if they were fresh. Thank you so much for all the tips you provide us!

[@FrugalFitMom]

Great to hear!

[@dfjulesful]

It's best to freeze them on the day of purchase. You can microwave them individually as needed

[@mimi0424]

I had a bunch of them one time & saw a video where they cut them up and put a bit of salt on each side and baked in the oven. they were delicious! I was so glad I didn't waste them. there's many videos on it too.

[@penny4urthoughts106]

I freeze packages all the time. They're great because they're already flat and take up so little space in the freezer and so versatile.

You can freeze tortillas?! Mine ALWAYS go bad!

Gnocchi that has been baked as part of a sheetpan dinner is amazing. Some cubed up butternut squash, red onion wedges, broccoli and the gnocchi (no boiling needed) drizzled with a few tbsp of melted butter mixed with sage, salt and pepper. Roasted together for about 35 minutes at 425 and the gnocchi is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Add some diced chicken or kielbasa and it's a complete meal.

I recently started working at a dollar tree in TN because things are really getting hard. I watch your food and DT videos to give me ideas and what to look for. I am trying to stretch my 20.00 food assistance card as far as it will go. Maybe you could throw in a "what to buy at DT for 20.00 a month to go as far as possible" lol

[@Journeylivin]

What I would do is buy rice and eggs to make a fried rice. You can purchase the pancake mix and syrup for breakfast, bread pb and j is good for sandwiches, those frozen veggies with a little oil and seasoning is a good side and I honestly think geting those 5lb bags of chicken quarters at Walmart or your local grocery store is best.

I've been freezing tortillas (all kinds) FOREVER!!! However, (when frozen)they stick together and sometimes they break when you try to pull them apart, so, I got the bright idea of putting wax paper or parchment paper between each tortilla then stuffing them back into the bag before freezing and VOILA, no more broken torts!! Easy to get 1 or more and no waste 👏

Definitely gonna have to check out the food at my local Dollar Trees! This may be a little off topic, but these days when things are so expensive, the tips below might help in addition to shopping at Dollar Tree for food and other items. Some Tips for 1-2 person households (or more).... I'm single/empty-nester so these work great for me. I buy 2-3 loaves of bread at one time and freeze all but one. Thaw in fridge. I do the same with Texas Toast (1 loaf) for when I get a hankering for French Toast or Breakfast Toasters ( like at Sonic, but better cuz, well, it's homemade lol When you buy hamburger or hot dog buns, take them out of the bag and put in freezer bags. I put 2 hot dog buns in one quart size bag and 1 burger bun in quart bag. Thaw in fridge. I'm in Texas so I buy the HEB Thick n Juicy frozen burger patties ( a little pricey but worth it). They don't take long to thaw so it should be ready when it's time to eat. If I only want one hot dog, leave the other in the bag and leave on counter or in pantry. Freezing them this way keeps them from spoiling and growing mold. Great for older kids when they get home from school as a snack (the hot dog) and babysitters, too, if they are going to be doing dinner for the kiddos. You can do this with tortillas, too, but I would advise taking them out of the bags and putting a piece of wax paper in between each one to make it easier to get the number out that you want. I would transfer them to a freezer bag or put back in original bag but put that in freezer bag if you want. I basically do the same with pork chops, steaks, chicken breasts. 1-2 pieces of meat (depending on size). After shopping I put them in the fridge until ready to put them in quart freezer bags. Be sure to label your bags with date bought & item(s) in the bag before you put the meat in; markers don't work well on bags with cold meat in them lol You can also season each bag of meat if desired before freezing. To thaw these meats, I get a big bowl, put the bag/s in and place a smaller heavy bowl on top and fill big bowl with water. Put in fridge. I haven't timed them, but I guarantee they thaw a LOT faster than just putting them in the fridge as is, especially pork chops and steaks. Chicken and the rolled ground beef take longer but should still be done the same day. I would put those 2 in fridge in the morning so they should be done by dinner time. I cook my chicken in my cock pot so I don't mind if they are still a Little frozen in the middle. TIP: If cooking chicken this way, season them then add some water around them then cook. I have found this helps them to moist and not so dried out. Personally I shred them immediately when I take them out of the crock pot and either use it all in a recipe OR store it in a Pyrex container. I love shredded bbq chicken sandwiches so when I want one, just take out the portion you want, mix with bbq sauce, heat it up and put it on your bun/bread! Great sandwich done in just a couple of minutes! I hope these help someone! Have a great day!

[@cdo4Jesus]

@@DaniElle-di4ho Thanks! I'll try those ideas! 😃👍

[@cdo4Jesus]

@@DaniElle-di4ho I have found that putting the frozen meat in water then in the fridge makes it thaw much faster. For years I did it the way you suggested and it took way too long. I'm single and sometimes I decide on the fly what I want that night for dinner, or have unexpected guests (namely daughter and son-in-law) and need something quick. Good idea, though, for more planned meals 👍🙂

I've found that a couple of times only. I buy the sticks of butter, onion and garlic powder, jars of garlic, and sazon seasoning and bouillon. Do NOT buy the bouillon in the jars!

Shelf-stable gnocchi is perfect for pan frying. (Don't boil them before or you get goo. You're looking for a golden color with a light crisp.) Nigella Lawson recommends using freshly made gnocchi, which do give you lighter results, but the shelf-stable kind are good in a "I need a dense potato moment that somehow also has a little chew" kind of way.

Tony C's on plain air-popped popcorn is FANTASTIC !! You won't miss those microwave bags with bad fats

I love the Cranberry orange breakfast bars at Dollar Tree.

The raspberry and grapefruit Evians are delicious mixers!

Gnocchi soup and gnocchi and cheese. Just like Mac and cheese but with gnocchi instead of noodles also great with some hot sausage added to it!

Thank you so much for this video - I’m always checking out my DT’s food section; you also look so pretty…luv your color choices in your outfit and your hair looks nice.

the gnoochi is really exciting, im not huge into buying snacks bc its like a waste of money for me personally ( i don't have kids otherwise i totally would!) but like these pasta staples, bean staples, and seasoning staples you are showing are good for my situation ( am physically limited and can't work more than 28-30 hours weekly) so i really appreciate this- much gratitude. I miss living down south....new hyork is sucking me dry financially and spiritually.

I like to cut the Dollar Tree gnocchi into quarters and use them in dumplings in Italian style tomato and veggie soups

Very impressive presentation, it shocked me with the quality and price of stuff. Thanks!

Gnocci... I have made the "my own version" of the Olive Garden's soup, "Chicken and Gnocci". I just add one pack of the gnocci. I add one family size can of read to serve chicken. I also add one can of Alfredo sauce. Boil the gnocci and salt/season to your desire. Drain, then add the pre-cooked chicken and sauce. I ALWAYS like to add more water (I just use the jar/can that my sauce comes from), as it cools because it thickens up pretty good... and to get it as thin as Olive Garden, I even add another "jar" later-depending on how far you want it to go... ("Do you want it soupy or thicker?"). Enjoy! It's so good!!!

Your husband is a man after my own heart, "it would be better with chocolate" - always! Gnocchi - SORTEDfood had a recipe recently where they made a fish pie where they used gnocchi for the potato topping. You could use the gnocchi where you would use any mashed potato. Shepherd's pie, tater-tot casserole, etc.

Toss the gnocchi in melted butter and fresh garlic bake for 20 minutes at 375 toss with Parmesan cheese, pepper. I like to add steamed broccoli after I toss it. Delicious.
