Groceries for a Week Only $10 at ALDI No Coupons | How I eat when I'm Broke

[@onecutecouponer]

Check out my last 2 Aldi Challenges. Which one is best? 1- kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJSTdIyPm56La9k 2- kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXacY6qJlM2aqrc

[@catsgonuts]

Ty ‘cus I was about to go search for them 💜💛

[@sweetestnectareva]

Next time show us what you made for the week

[@debrajones858]

The first one

[@AishaMBudgets]

I wish you would make more of these $10 videos...I love them so much! I like #1 the best!

[@B_Bodziak]

Dave Ramsey would approve. Lol

[@theartist1151]

Just thinking about the potential: Eggs and bread: French toast or egg sandwich Beans & rice: add Mexican spices Rice: Make rice pudding, sweet rice or just add various ingredients/seasonings Rice & eggs: fried rice Bread & cheese: Grilled cheese Eggs: boiled eggs, fried eggs, sunny side up etc. Take out the beef & beans from the burrito to make a special omelette. Wait, add cheese too 🧀! This could also be made into a sandwich. Bananas & bread: Bananas bead toast roll ups (yes there is such a thing 😂👍🏽🍌🍞) Keep in mind flour might stretch a bit further plus you could make pancakes (with bananas 🥞). The above is assuming that you have a few other staples to work with at home. I started thinking of various things that could be made from what was bought to keep it interesting. 🎨👍🏽🍽 bon appetit! 🔊O.C.C. 🎶GANG!🎵

[@meily2004]

Omg I love this comment thanks

[@meily2004]

Thanks for that recipe I just looked up banana bread toast roll ups so yummy going to make that

[@stephaniemonique2251]

yep my dad used to eat it and i did too when i was younger lol. never tried it since i got older. but i think he added mayo too

[@AshleyOliviaDaCosta]

Nothing will save you more money on groceries than learning how to cook! 👆👍🏼🙌🏻👏🏻

[@mommynab]

Great examples of how to flip ingredients around.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ladyema8836]

Do a video were you actually show living off of the products you buy! That would be awesome!

[@victoriarichardson3871]

I was thinking the same. That would be great to see.

[@kendrab825]

OMG these videos give me mixed emotions because I remember spending over an hour in Aldi crying and trying to figure out what to buy with 10-30 dollars while in college and as a young family. I wish I could have had a guide. Thank God for growth ☺️ I still watch for the just in case aspect. Whoever needs to see this just know trouble doesn't last always! Be blessed and thank you Erica 🤗 OCC supporter!

[@meily2004]

Girl get the corn chips and ground Turkey you can use them for lunch then also use one serving for dinner one day with a piece of cheese and some of the ground Turkey and make a fritos pie. You can use some of the turkey and beans make chili or use the Turkey beans and rice and make soup. Use some of the turkey ,cheese and bean and chips and make a nacho with Mexican rice on the side.

[@kimbarbeaureads]

I'm thinking: 1. Rice 2. Eggs 3. Frozen peas and carrots 4. Beans 5. One pound of whatever fruit is on sale. 6. Loaf of bread 7. Peanut butter 8. Lettuce

[@portigoza]

ThAts great!

[@steene1205]

Also maybe pasta and ground turkey in the soagetti sauce

[@steene1205]

Spaghetti

[@s.devries2644]

You should’ve left the chips and went for two pounds of bananas, then there’s at least some fruit every day. And one pack of the ground turkey so you could’ve bought some frozen veggies for dinner with the rice. Show people that you also can eat healthier when on a budget. You have proteine from the cheese and eggs, so you don’t have to get meat for every meal. Also think beforehand what you’re going to get, not in the store, look online for the options and prices.

[@ajh.4131]

You did great! I personally would’ve added some veggies into the mix for a healthier option. Frozen veggies at Aldi are 75 cents or even a bigger bag is less than $2 and it can stretch for several servings. Also, your Aldi looks WAY better than the ones around me.Seems like your store has a better selection.

[@dottyjyoung]

This is a HELPFUL response vs the nasty, "Girl where your veggies?" responses. Mixing in some frozen peas w/fried rice would be helpful. I also used to mix them in w/the Aldi boxed Mac & cheese.

[@dougs7367]

Best way to make meat last is to make soup or stew out of it. Get a pound of ground beef and the stuff to make a pot of either vegetable soup or chili. Also make some Jiffy corn bread (50 cents a box) That will last you several days. Of course you don't have to eat meat every day or at all to survive.

[@BlackBerri83]

When I was hella broke I made soup ALL THE TIME. Chicken and dumplings, chicken noodle soup and chicken n rice soup...basically the same ingredients for each of the soups! Frozen veggies are less than a dollar a bag. I would eat whatever for lunch for dinner too. Breakfast was always oatmeal (not the packets) and a banana.

[@Coffeeandcoffee]

You did good, a lot of people don't know how to grocery shop, or get all of that stuff for $10.00

[@goshenqueen]

Also you can do 2 weeks for $20 also. And that gives you a little flexibility to use that rice for multiple meals or buy meat.

[@asterix00]

Good idea

[@TinRoofVintage]

That was great, though i would have gotten the ground turkey and left the burritos ($1 difference), only because the turkey is more versatile (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Then get a smaller bag of rice - a whole pot of chili and beans (over rice) would last for 3-4 meals at least. I loved this nonetheless, thank you! I will be doing this each month until Christmas! 😄

[@kenyonbissett3512]

She tried to get the smaller bag of rice but Aldi was sold out. If you split your shopping between Aldi and Walmart, you would get more for your money. Instead of can beans, cooking 2lbs of dry beans would last 2 weeks and cost less - freeze half for the next week. By price shopping at more then one store I got more groceries and spent less money then my friends.

[@wdesigns44]

I actually did this while living in a motel in Ohio. I was a learning to be a Over-the-Road truck driver and stayed at motel for free with another trainee while waiting for our truck driver trainers. We had to pay for our meals and the only option was to go to restaurants that was near the motel, which was expensive. I had seen Aldi's stores before but never shopped there, luckily there was an Aldi near the motel, so I checked it out. To my surprise the prices were very low so I came up with this meal plan to get me through a week. I had one goal that each item had to be used in more than one meal. These prices are from 2002 and here's the meal plan: Eggs .50 breakfast-scrambled, lunch-egg sandwich, dinner-used with mixed lettuce Bread .50 Breakfast-toast, lunch-sandwich, served with dinner Cotto Salami slices .79 breakfast-egg cups, lunch-sandwiches, dinner-cut into strips for mixed salad Thousand Island dressing .59 lunch for sandwich dressing, dinner-dressing for mixed salad Bag of Mixed lettuce 1.29 lunch-put on sandwich, dinner-mixed salad Bananas .50 breakfast and snacks Tuna Fish .50 dinner and lunch tuna fish casserole Potatoes chips .50 used it with tuna for tuna fish casserole-for lunch, dinner, and chips alone for snacks or served with lunch Orange juice in a carton 1.29 breakfast drink and small amount use with strawberries, bananas and yogurt for dessert Strawberries 1.00 breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack and dessert with yogurt cup and pound cake Mushroom soup .35 can of peas .35 used with for tuna casserole-lunch and dinner Strawberries yogurt cup .45 breakfast and dessert with yogurt cup and pound cake Pound cake .99 snack and dessert use with yogurt cup, strawberries, and pound cake To my surprise the total was $9.25 Also I got milk for free from the motel's Continental Breakfast and use it to make the tuna fish casserole. I could have omitted O.J. too cause it was free with the Continental breakfast but I didn't think of it at the time of shopping. I kept the items in a Styrofoam cooler in our room and used the ice from the motel, also I used the motel's microwave to cook the eggs, salami cups and tuna casserole. I shop at Aldi all the time now because it has saved me a ton of money. Please don't get me started on their housewares, clothing, toys etc... Aldi is my favorite go to store for everything. I would like see you get close to a good nutritional value in each meal by working with the Food Pyramid 6 servings of grain 3 servings of vegetables 2 servings of fruit 2 servings of meat 2 servings of protein I love, love your channel you are so much fun and you're getting better each time, keep up the good work, it's so much fun to see you go through the CHALLENGE!!

[@ingbrown1024]

I raised 2 children on a very tight budget. Ground Turkey yes but look at making something that will stretch like a one pan meal with turkey rice and even a canned veg. Or beans dried are cheap with Turkey for a chili. Eggs are totally versatile and scrambled is great lunch or breakfast.

[@riggedbyrachel8390]

Girl ♥️ potatoes. Always potatoes ! They can be eaten anytime of the day ! Balance magnesium levels ! Full of nutrition ! ♥️

[@s.devries2644]

Exactly! Potatoes are packed with nutrients: vit. A, C, b6, potassium, manganese, phosphorus, niacin, folate etc. Good for digestive system, controles blood sugar, cleanses liver etc. She even could’ve made some potato chips with them instead of that bag of chips full of sodium and unhealthy fats she bought. Even on a budget you can eat healthy which will only benefit you in getting a better life.

[@Askdjdjajtjack]

@@s.devries2644 just shoplift some multivitamins

[@dogcatfamily2476]

I adore YOU! 💖 Your enthusiasm and deep concern is flowing. I see you truly want to help the underfunded. I have $30 a month and get no help ( EBT, Food banks, garden...) so I eat bad food to survive. We need to do more then survive so PLEASE consider a $15 or $20 a week budget including fruits and veggies for more balanced meals. Fiber is filling and healthy detox. Living plant foods are full of enzymes and antioxidants to UP the empty calorie foods. Most people pay more for convenience but, true poor people (who have kitchens) fill themselves with soaked and cooked beans, fresh and root vegetables, grains, pasta and the magic of spices. Meat is a luxury and not necessary or used only as a flavoring. Prepackaged food is overpriced and overprocessed. I buy $5-6 of fresh plant foods per month ( sales and imperfect or close to exp date) then rest I buy bulk rice, beans and grains that last more then a month and I have a basic pantry of helper food items which is what I think u should do for your next video. If we have basics spices, bouillon cubes, pasta, rice, tortillas, beans, flour, grits...we can make all kinds of items and supplement with sale items and fresh items for variety. When bread or dairy gets reduced for quick sale or tuna is 50 cents I buy it when bananas go to 35 c or apples 59c and so on. We even get chicken leg quarters for 49c a lb monthly so we make many meals, soup and even bone broth from the bones. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm a " know it all" I do not mean so. I have had cancer for the last 4 years and I am struggling like never before. I know how hard this is and I'd like to share because I care. BLESSINGS✨

[@MoreCoffeePlease.]

Sending love and wishes of joy and renewed physical health. 💛💫

[@mtherfnprincess]

The ground Turkey could've stretched pretty far with the beans and rice if they weren't made into burgers

[@incu311chick]

Yaaayy!! I’m so glad you did this again. Kudos for getting fruit. You slept on the frozen veggies section. I would have kept one roll of the turkey and gotten some mixed frozen veggies to have with the rice. Please keep doing these challenges! I love it.

[@vedaenglish2078]

I enjoyed this video!! Keep in mind what ingredients and spices you have at home to enhance your meals , also remember protein, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, grains. The turkey could have been meat sauce, meatloaf or taco filling.

[@sharonrenae202]

Eggs to make omelets for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Can fill with veggies fresh or frozen etc.

[@ToriLaurel1]

I love how God sent you Erica with this challenge as I decide to cut my spending to tackle my debt! Love this

[@meily2004]

I love these videos and the comments I am a single mom of 3 kids i shop good for them but my grocery eating budget for me is 10 to 20 bucks a week . The comments and video are so helpful and give me ideas thanks .

[@cimechica]

I buy a lot of items like pasta and pasta sauce at dollar tree and have even found chicken thighs for a dollar in the freezer section, I love challenging. Myself to see how much food I can get with 10 to 20 dollars, and then meal plan after I bought the items

[@kaylaabbott6865]

You should do a part 2 on how your week goes with having the meals each day!

[@grannyhatchet]

I'm assuming that you plan to use veggies and fruit that you already have? I like your $10 videos, but I would really be interested in seeing how you actually utilize what you purchased.

[@TraceyBoyland]

Yes. My thoughts

[@kenyonbissett3512]

Earlier in the week she got a bunch of free groceries using her shopping skills. Combining the two approaches would give her veggies and fruit money.

[@elliejellie22]

I like using leftover rice and beans and make a scrambled egg bowl. I love when you do these challenges!

[@PrincestonTheFrenchBulldog]

Bread And egg. Milk. Make French toast. Make bread with egg breakfast. Egg sandwich lunch.

[@TraceyBoyland]

Yes

[@Heir2themoon]

I buy groceries for one and the frozen ground turkey works great for me. It’s a lb so I can get 2 separate meals out of it. I might make spaghetti bolognese and turkey burger with 1 pack and each meal has leftovers so it lasts almost a full week.

[@N-DiArmando]

you just needed a little bit of fresh green and it would’ve been 💯 !!! Gr8 job on rethinking

[@mariaperez7355]

I would of rather have gotten the turkey instead of the frozen burritos

[@gloriabiscoe431]

I don't care what any of the viewers say none of ur $10 Aldi's haul was trash, u can do no wrong in my book ur the best cuponer out there

[@lorettauppercue6400]

Check the tomatoes, or frozen broccoli, or some other individual vegetables instead of chips

[@ritamcbee]

Loretta Uppercue That’s a great suggestion. Substitute chips with frozen veggies or bag of salad.

[@yessica.a]

If it helps anyone, my lunch for 1 week is spaghetti: 1 lb of ground beef, pasta and Ragu sauce. So good and is enough for me for an entire week! I know eating spaghetti everyday isn’t great but when I have a really tight budget, this is my go-to for lunch.

[@foreverblessed7326]

I love spaghetti and ground beef. I don't think that I can never get tired of it

[@ladigstatus]

Always a good option! I love spaghetti too. I grew up with it but if someone happens to have extra I like to shred or puree carrots or zucchini into my sauce so my kids get some extra veggies for dinner thats carb heavy. Bonus that carrots are pretty dang cheap in most places and help bulk up the sauce as well.

[@ladyema8836]

Tortilla chips + turkey meat + cheese = NACHOS!

[@thedishwithmish]

What about turkey meatballs & inexpensive pasta & sauce (usually under a $1) leftover meatballs for meatball sandwich. Also, meatballs & rice. Definitely oatmeal for breakfast with some cinnamon sprinkled on top. Grilled cheese & peanut butter & jelly sandwiches to mix it up at lunch 💕

[@letitiasimpson7185]

Eggs would have definitely been better. Should have kept the turkey and made burgers and sausage out of them for breakfast. Just needed the pepper flakes and seasoning. The cheese was perfect as well however I would’ve got $0.99 cent bag of salad or can of tomato soup in can $0.49 cents. Oh I know how to budget shop.

[@marjoriekane5807]

if you're by yourself and only had $10 any meal you can stretch for a week is satisfying and well appreciated. You will eventually get creative with what you have to work with as long as your not hungry. GREAT JOB ERICA!⚘

[@KindaNewHere]

I would have focused on Dinner and eat leftovers for Lunch. Breakfast can be simple.

[@yoyo-ko4fh]

True

[@teresatucker9628]

I agree. Also meatless meals is an option. That cheese is imitation NOT 100 %. This deal was NOT daughter

[@vinachetri7969]

Usually with a tight budget, meats are hard to purchase, so people usually do pastas and spaghetti, and certain veggies, soup and fruits.

[@chrism1102]

The eggs and rice are a genius move. You can have a very filling meal with just a bowl of rice topped with a fried egg. Sunny side up of course. Just add a splash of soy sauce (which almost everyone has on hand anyway) and you're good to go.

[@tarapasco9334]

I just started following you, I can't wait until you show a paper product hook up. I'm stocked up on detergent and toothpaste so far.... my family thanks you so much!

[@AmirahJoy]

I had a ten bucks per week food budget when I was in college. I didn't have a car and I wasn't spending any of that budget on bus fare, so I had to be able to carry it home. You have to think long-term and build up a little bit of a pantry. I tried to keep Bisquick (store brand), rice, oatmeal and pasta on hand. My proteins typically were beans, tuna, and chicken leg quarters which I cut in half. I very rarely ate beef unless there was a crazy good sale. I bought canned fruit with no added sugar and supplemented with fresh fruit when it was on sale. Same with vegetables. I ate at least one serving of fruit every day and two servings of vegetables. It can be done; look at what constitutes a serving (usually 1/2 cup). If frozen was cheaper, I bought frozen. Don't get into thinking that only fresh is healthy; that isn't true. Seriously, I was healthier then and my weight was far more stable than it is now! Don't give up and if you need to go to a food pantry, do it! Hold your head up high and go get what you need. Better times are coming and I will never forget those years.

[@JannieMette]

You can cook the white rice in milk to a porridge and then serve it warm with cinnamon sugar and a tablespoon butter or make fried rice with taco seasoning and black beans. With eggs, water, flour, vanilla, sugar and baking powder you can make your own pancakes/waffles ❤️

[@kammy7863]

Video Recommendations: More Cap & Deijah challenges!!! You guys are so good together.💚

[@surayaray7748]

I agree!

[@kbaby459]

I said the same thing

[@Daydreamer-ok6jj]

I love rice and since you have such a giant bag, rice with scrambled eggs would be a good breakfast. Love this series!!!

[@Rizuzua]

I was shouting oh more veggies! Please your intestines will thank you. Try at least some Kale for a few bucks. Great for all meals. Tomato, cheese and rice are an affordable veggie option. Broccoli soup is quick to whip up too. You are right on track imho. Less packaged goods more veggies and fruit 💗

[@leahstewart6979]

You’re doing better each time! Processed foods are expensive. If you had flour, you could make pancakes using an eggs. A bag of dried beans often costs the same as one can of beans, but dried beans expand to much more volume than a can.

[@alicegill8420]

Frozen veg, rice , and eggs makes some great fried rice, Also the extra eggs can we used for egg sandwiches or something else. Some veg can be used for pasta or something. The veg there is cheap and filling

[@charlyee09]

Turkey burgers a few days , spaghetti next days, stuff peppers, Pasta instead of rice🤷🏾‍♀️

[@HeatherLynseyMusic]

I know everyone’s suggestions are trying to be helpful, but keep in mind that not everyone’s taste buds are the same. You just need to take her tips and adjust them to your taste buds and your budget 🤣

[@danaacosta6537]

what the heck!

[@uigeisikoo5143]

Cook both rolls of turkey...ground it up, cook the rice...two cups...mix them together. season appropriately. add tomato sauce, or whatever you like. If this is for one person, this will be two maybe three servings

[@desertfamilyhomestead3127]

With as much rice as you bought you can do hot rice for breakfast or instead of the burritos bought veggies to make fried rice with and some more fresh fruit. I would go for fruit versus the chips for a more rounded lunch, even if it was half an apple each day.

[@debrajones858]

A 5 or 10 pound of potatos and the bag of rice and a bag of beans last a long time

[@kyaunam]

Cans of salmon or chicken, make salmon patties, use c,Hickey for tacos, quesadillas or pulled chicken sandwiches with bbq sauce. Or even chicken salad or wraps... think outside box for meat

[@terrasaidit]

“The first one, y’all said that was trash. That’s ok that’s my first time I was doing it”. First video I’ve watched of yours and 22 secs in, you gained a new subscriber. Nothing I love more that an ambitious woman able to take feedback and bounce back! And it’s a plus you’re a black woman ngl😂

[@mayamoo113]

The brown n serve sausage links are cheap at Aldi's, they go well with the waffles, and theres 10 to a box so two links for 5 breakfasts

[@terilynn62meschkat48]

Break up a burrito and mixed the inside with eggs . You have an extra one ! Love all you videos! The Target and Hobby Lobby keep me laughing ! You get truly excited !

[@margaretwhite961]

Much better! Fried egg sandwich with cheese for breakfast, too. Egg fried rice. You can skip beans for dinner one night, and have eggs, beans and toast for breakfast, nice and filling.

[@YT4Me57]

Add a can of beans and tomato sauce to make a turkey-bean chili to serve with or without rice (dinner vd lunch).

[@lindaojeda1027]

I love that you think out of the box. This deal is excellent for a single person.

[@johnafagerquist8235]

Really enjoyed this video. I love the idea. I don't think I'd try $10., but I'm not adverse to trying $15. Per person. Awesome! I'm approaching debt free, and this would shift us into high gear to the end.

[@barbgrajewski9696]

Get the ALDI app for your phone, look at the Ads for the week, use it to help you plan. Better to shop with a list, make a change in-store if needed.

[@shawnsmith3335]

Much better job because of adding the beans. You can also have rice with breakfast, or save the rest to go with something next week.

[@lmherdz]

If you want $10 to last for a week, need to cook from scratch & no snacks. You need fruit & veggies for balanced meals. A cheap snack is popcorn. Eggs are always a good protein for breakfast or hard boiled for lunch or dinner. You buy meats only on sale. Usually chicken on sale or turkey.

[@penelie]

you should have did a soup with the lunch

[@emperortmface7890]

Love you and your content! I'm an Aldi budget shopper myself and I find it so exciting to go and see how much food I can get and stretch for the least amount of food. Please keep the content coming, Queen!

[@B.I.G.Living]

I just did a similar aldi challenge. Made chili with the ground turkey. Had chili for dinner and nachos for lunch.

[@charlenereynolds786]

P.s I personally I love turkey burgers as long as it has been seasoned and lettuce

[@monicagonzales7257]

Ooo, maybe milk instead of Waffles/eggs to make rice pudding for breakfast and a can of tomato sauce for Mexican rice with your burritos! Yassss

[@herbertbecker5485]

Much better. One thing I might have done differently put the chips back and got a few packs of Jell-O or a few cans of tomato soup

[@lindalarson3410]

The rice you could add a little milk and sugar after cooked for breakfast.😊

[@jujujj63]

Sack of potatoes make many meals stretch. Rice, noodles stretch a dollar and you don't always need meat for big pasta dishes. Pasta and sauces, ground turkey spaghetti, side of garlic bread great budget meals. I love Aldis.

[@patriciarahming6651]

Why didn't you check the chicken legs they are very cheap and with the rice it would have made a great dinner.

[@missxshiny]

I would definitely switch one of the ground turkey for some frozen veggies. You can make some yum stuff with no meat- I definitely had to do it for a long time when I couldn't afford it. 2-3 days a week were meatless :) Bag of rice or pasta, frozen veggies and some cheap tin tomatoes :) Stil one of my fav quick meals and so cheap!

[@eeggert]

This is the best one yet! The others, I was thinking I could live on that stuff. This one, I would actually enjoy it! Thanks for doing these Aldi videos!

[@kathywebster5805]

I just enjoy your personality and how you present things. Good job

[@carolinejones1378]

I love these videos they give me ideas and makes me think more about budgeting. It's really hard to eat healthier on a budget. I feel the pain.

[@ambermurray4183]

Grab a bag of mixed vegetables and you can make a fried rice with eggs, rice, and veggies. That would work for breakfast or lunch. I would have kept the ground turkey and went to dollar tree and got a bag of dried beans and a pack of tortillas( sometimes aldi tortillas are under a dollar) I would have gotten rid of the frozen burritos and added salsa. That way you could have made burritos or fried rice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Probably would have put me 50 cent over budget but its defintely more robust meals.

[@myducks911]

Breakfast and I don’t have a good relationship. I rarely eat it, in fact some mornings thinking of eating makes me sick to my stomach. It helps when I’m budgeting since that’s one less meal to worry about 😁 I also love Aldis ground turkey. I always get it to make burgers and turkey tacos.

[@bryceblatnick689]

I love when you do these videos.....their my fav!!!!

[@onecutecouponer]

Yay!🎉🎉 Thank you!

[@javamt4]

Wow that was better! Good job! Rice is a powerhouse. We are big on rice bowls(which I use whatever I have in the fridge with-) eggs work great and some soy sauce- lunch. I loved where you were going with the turkey. I bet you could have spread it out with one package and the black beans. I would love to see a follow up cooking video and maybe final thoughts at the end of the week.

[@singlemomofonelife]

... and I just spent $60 to have dinner delivered to my son and I (Uber), it was yummy but not frugal or realistic after watching this and the guilt I am feeling lol!

[@dougs7367]

$60 for two people? Yikes must have been a pricey restaurant. I prefer Doordash it's cheaper and they release coupon codes pretty often

[@singlemomofonelife]

@@dougs7367 our food was about half that but of course they add tax and delivery fees and then tip... ugh!

[@babydoll8689]

You should do some more challenges either with Deyjah & Cap or by yourself. We love them! 👏🏽

[@vera_nika2]

With my Insulin resistance so much carbs would be a no-go, BUT it turned out good after re-planning.

[@lolabear6788]

Good job! It is so difficult to make $10 last for a week! I would trade those chips for some tomato soup or can of frozen OJ to get some more fruit/veg in there, but you did really well!

[@countrybootsgirl]

Muncha buncha, muncha buncha Fritos go with lunch. Grab lettuce for the sandwich and burgers. It's healthy and has that crunch.

[@sarahtiru3528]

Ground turkey in the frozen section is my forever go to!!

[@chelseal1467]

Biscuits and gravy is my go to cheap meal. $6 feeds my family of 6 for a couple of meals

[@wilmasantos3255]

That was a GREAT haul for $9.90!!

[@cyndiotwell2067]

You can make chicken and rice in the crock pot

[@stephany894]

White rice and a fried egg is a staple meal. Soooooooo good.

[@lucybrookes6529]

Caught this video after spending $61 @Aldi's. Hopefully it will last us 2wks. Will definitely try next payday.

[@Deana9528]

Get a big package of ground beef you can make a burger, sloppy joe, chili, tostadas, nachos, meatloaf and pasta out of one package for one person. That is what i did in college days Following week would be big package of chicken so on.

[@PrimpedPreenNPeachy]

use one can of the beans and make refried beans to dip the tortilla chips

[@teranda3974]

This is amazing. It has helped me. Their are people out their struggling with food.

[@gkimble90]

Erica I love your nails the new color is hitting. The olive green color was pretty too. OCC Gang. 💖Greg

[@onecutecouponer]

Thank you Greg! 💕💕

[@carolinedombrowski8882]

I don’t know if the dried black beans would cost less. If so, then beans, rice, eggs would be an option for breakfast. Whatever rice & beans from breakfast can be extended to dinner as well. Just some thoughts. Considering the $10.00 budget you did a good job.

[@TierneyNicole]

I love these videos so much literally. It’s like when you’re deciding I’m deciding too 😂 this was definitely $10 well spent!

[@243tad]

I would make turkey meatballs instead of burgers, and if you could have found some cheap tomato soup mix it could have doubled as a sauce for the meatballs and a side for the grilled cheeses.

[@nicolemcmurray3548]

Toast, eggs and rice for breakfast is an option. Nachos, melt cheese and top with beans is an option.

[@jenmv3483]

Add a bag of fruit or carrot sticks
