Why not start Amazon FBA?

[@Curtis488]

Marinara sauce is my personal favorite because it tastes better than pasta sauce or pizza sauce

[@kerrigomez8445]

A great way to stretch that budget! Buy a bag of rice (1.25) a bag of dry pinto beans (1.25) A bag of frozen peppers & onions (chop up small) (1.25) a pack of tortillas (1.25) a pack of sausages (1.25) A block of the real cheese (1.25) Sausage, rice, half the peppers/onions for rice bowls (throw some beans in there because there will be plenty) Beans, other half of the peppers/onions and shred the cheese, tortillas- make bean and cheese burritos 7.50 for lunch and dinner Pancake mix (could be made into waffles with a waffle maker) and frozen berries or chocolate chips (called chunks at DT) 2.50 for breakfast If you are using pantry staples- a little oil, garlic powder, onion powder and hot sauce would go a long way here.

[@racheladams5642]

You should nake a channel. Rhis was a great idea.

[@suzyn9119]

Yes cause that way the food would be healthier and not so overly processed.

[@LuLu-xs4sh]

This is a really smart distribution of ingredients, and nutritious enough to get you through the week.

[@sadehogue-scott177]

Thank you

[@lrnick6409]

Girl, I feel ya on the cheese doodles! Those would be gone in a couple of days, and I'd be like "who ate my cheese doodles?" 😆🤣

[@RhondaHella]

I used to layer the lasagna noodles with the frozen mixed veggies and slice cheese. Makes a huge pan for pennies. I could eat lunch and dinner from it for 3 days. I love your vids, brightens my day while I endure the economic struggle. Much love. 🙏

[@jonncatron7381]

Get the frozen vegs. , lasagna noodles and a jar of alfredo sauce if they have it and make Veg. Lasagna. It is so good.

[@sadehogue-scott177]

Thanks I'm gonna try this

[@christiesmith978]

With the meatballs... you wouldn't just cook the meatballs... you would cook them and then you mince them up like ground beef and add them to the sauce.... so you wouldn't just have ONE meatball a day staring at you from the top of spaghetti.

[@courtneycade2552]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@JoniKing09]

Exactly!

[@sal2975]

The meatball that was staring at me winked at me the other day. Kinda freaked me out.

[@Ashley-oy5dc]

Assuming they have onions and garlic from maybe an another meal. 🤷🏾‍♀️cook those meatballs and add in sauce

[@mrsblondback]

I'd love to see you try this at Walmart sometime, too! Your $10 challenges are my favorite!!!

[@l.a.k.efamilymom7282]

I’m so glad you put back the shredded cheese. It’s not real cheese and it doesn’t melt

[@newyorkfan16]

OMG! @ 3:24 I just saw on the jar of pasta sauce you had, it said "100% olive oil" It also said, no high fructose corn syrup, no added sugar, grown by California tomatoes, reduced sodium, and all natural flavors, That's probably why it looked so fancy. lol. I'd certainly buy it!

[@glossgurl123]

This gave me so much confidence that I can still have a good meal on a tight budget. Thank you, you have brought me peace of mind and have made realize there's so much you can do if you just open up your mind to new ideas

I don't think it's healthy but sure in a money crisis it's possible to survive. 😁👍

Back in my day everything at Dollar Tree used to be a $1.00, now it's a $1.25

[@natural_niky]

I just went to the market & spent $51 on 16 items. I got two big packs of chicken , milk, eggs , bread, bananas, strawberries, fries, Pringles for Sonny, Icecream for hubby birthday today, ground beef ,hot dog rolls. I still need some stuff so this video is perfect. Family of 5.Thanks Erica. And I used a $10 coupon

Ohh you got a shot of the milk on the last shelf! I buy their milk as backup for whenever we run out of our regular gallon. With a cereal box that could also last an entire week. I loved this challenge! Makes me want to experiment myself to try and save up some money in this declining economy!

[@deecharming]

With inflation I would make it $15. Dollar Tree- sausage, Prego Alfredo sauce, pasta; pancake mix (also for waffles, craps) syrup, rice, mayo Aldi - 2 cans of tuna, can of carrots and green beans, pack of gravy, roll of ground turkey, 2 bananaa. Pantry staple flour, yeast, cinnamon and dehydrated onions. Family of 3. 1 Sausage and carrots Alfredo half of pasta, Turkey Salisbury steak with rice, gravy and green beans, Tuna pasta salad or tuna casserole, 1/2 banana cinnamon waffles, homemade bagels and bread. If I had another $1.25 oatmeal.

[@nelvinlewis23]

Don’t forget the food pantry drive through first where you get potatoes, onions,pasta sauce , Mac and cheese, green beans, carrots sometimes, peanut butter, canned fruit, bread and tuna and rice. $10 on meats, syrup, weiners , pancake mix, milk, oatmeal or grits or cereal, sausage . Stuffed weiners mashed potatoes cover an opened sliced weiners covered with shredded cheese. Tuna options tuna salad, sandwich or casserole. Put all these ideas together Bougie it is. Spam sliced and battered and fried chicken fried spam add gravy.

[@microbios8586]

How funny this came up right now. I just got back from Kroger and realized I could definitely live with a $10 weekly ood budget, absolutely. There are still great specials available at the big chain grocery stores even in this time of extreme inflation.

[@onecutecouponer]

Yes! I’ve been taking advance of BOGO sales & using digital coupons more & more at my local grocery store.

[@Melissa-no5ox]

I completely agree with you! I spend very little when I hit the sales at Kroger! 😊

[@microbios8586]

@@Melissa-no5ox Do you stuck up on the discounted Manager Special items? That's where the real deals are. Meats, bakery items, prepared veggies, etc. You're guaranteed to find bargains worth buying each visit to Kroger.

[@bobbiefrank5043]

As soon as you guys walked in there I was thinking grilled cheese so happy you guys chose the grilled cheese sandwiches. I was also thinking about corn muffin mix with the hot dogs like a corn dog for lunch.

[@kerrigomez8445]

I was thinking the same thing with the corn bread mix and hot dogs

[@pbj0815]

I always say if it comes down to it… dollar tree will feed me and my kids. They have the staples like rice, pasta, sauce and seasonings. Great video!! 🤩👍🏼👍🏼

[@onecutecouponer]

Yes! 👏🏾👏🏾 #smartmama

[@damariscolon4170]

That store is so well stocked, I'm in Jacksonville and I haven't found one like this.

[@onecutecouponer]

This one is on Park Ave in Orange Park. Not too far from you 😀

[@lindanizamoff7981]

if you took the bread and toasted some slices you could use a little of your sauce on top, add cheese on top and stick in the oven and you could have pizza. Better if you could add some oregano to the sauce and it will taste like pizza sauce.

[@user-gi1yq8jp1q]

This was the first time I encountered one of your videos, and it tickled me. You really have no clue just how challenging/daunting a task coming up with 21 servings of food can be until you are actually in the store with only $10 to spend. There are some excellent comments here. Can't wait to catch a few more of your videos and see what else you do.

[@tiffanysteen1845]

Put cheese on the hotdogs Save some pancakes mix to make pigs in a blanket with the hotdogs Make your own garlic bread with butter on side pasta

[@Kimikikat]

The hotdog with spaghetti is a Filipino favorite. So much so, it’s available at McDonalds and the local fast food place Jolly Bee! Great ideas and meals for $10! Btw, I’m happy Jolly Bee is becoming popular in the US! 🇵🇭 🇺🇸😁✌🏽

[@sugafree0107]

My grandma used to feed me spaghetti and hotdogs on the regular when I was a kid back in the 80's. I thought it was the norm.

[@amandasnailtasticnails9657]

I never had hotdogs with spaghetti. I’ve hear of people doing that.

[@lou-anntedesco2567]

How do you make spaghetti and hotdogs? It sounds worth a try!

[@elizabethbabilonia7046]

If you have tomato sauce at home. You can expand the sauce. Add some water, sugar and flour. Ramon noodles 🍜 is still one of my go to. When I’m feeling eating some soup 🍲.

[@nelvinlewis23]

Add sliced weiners and butter, chef’s kiss.

[@eaf5794]

Since it's $1.25 now, up your budget to $12.50. Get the Rice over pasta, for your base, better for your money, can eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner,

[@becalmlivelifetothefullest6752]

I'd love to go food shopping with you two -Yes shopping and laughs = Priceless 👍😎🍴

[@thesingingcandle]

Hmmm, what about a dozen eggs? You can make them scrambled or make egg salad..

[@microbios8586]

Be warned. Dollar Tree frozen fruits and vegetables are very bad quality. It seems they sit out for long periods of time, in a process of freezing and refreezing which makes them icy, freezer burnt and bland.

[@ShopandMorewithKimberlyNSantos]

Yes i agree! I dont like their fruits n veggies🤢

[@dianaschoen4485]

Ive heard the same thing about the frozen fruits and vegetables from another channel!

[@Nicole30x3]

There pastas are not that good either cheaper is not always good

[@andrew6xrv]

Dollar Tree really has some great grocery finds! I feel like everything at most stores has gone up more than 25 cents while at the same time dollar tree has stepped up their game a little bit since going up to $1.25.

[@onecutecouponer]

I completely agree!

[@carolwilliams8840]

You two are so funny when you do the food challenges. I love it.

[@mtnewt1]

When Erica says cheese is for rich people... but she's the rich people 🤭😂 Great options girls! Lol You can just ground the meatballs up to make it stretch

[@PeaceLikeNoOther_DeidreParker]

Good job showing people how to survive during these difficult times in the world. I hope the right people are watching. Very beneficial info. Keep up the good work!

[@classicanonymous4604]

I've been replacing 4 meals a week with Dollar tree meals. 1The pancake mix add an egg to the batter with half and half creamer cook pancakes top with syrup and butter 2 Frozen vegetable bag bell peppers and onions with Jasmine rice with canned chicken 3 Pinto beans make refried beans Two cans of chicken and also a package of tortillas where we live $1.25 get you a 22 count package Prepare the pinto beans fried up the burritos with hot sauce and cheese. Makes 12 burritos 👏 Also The easy spaghetti prepare noodles marinara half a bag of peppers and onion and two bags of meatballs

[@victoriahatten9746]

You could have gotten canned chicken for the quesadillas

[@GoTiffany]

🤣

[@Spyinak]

Bulk bins are back at a lot of stores now and utilizing them for small amounts of nuts, beans, flours, lentils, etc. can add variety to the weeks meals while keeping costs down.

[@maureenbullis1805]

Hey Ladies! May I suggest next time you try a big box of rolled oats , syrup, and bananas. With those ingredients you can make baked breakfast cookies, pancakes, and cereal for the week.

[@kenyonbissett3512]

Variety for the next week!

[@deana268]

Buy the sausage and package of beans and chicken broth and bag of carrots and you have bean soup that will last for days.

[@patriciawalton986]

I don’t know about your dollar store but mine sells sausage and it also sells jambalaya mix. And you can stretch that

[@onecutecouponer]

I’ll try another Dollar Tree location & look for those items. Sounds delicious!

[@adab2it]

Love how you and Tiffany put the meals together.

[@MyNunu84]

Love the ideas my kids love fried hot dogs with breakfast. My go to is cut up the sausage sauté with thee bag of mixed veggies serve with rice. And BAM rice bowls for a week. Then they have boxes of jambalaya plus the sausage. And it’s a lot of food.

[@thequeen9188]

Thank you so much for sharing this video, I liked how you went grocery shopping and went home and cooked the meals. Hands on video. I hope someone will take this into consideration , what you did. When a loved one or family member with not enough money or food, show them what they can buy, and show them video to watch. Sometimes people just need you to show them what they can do.

I add the fruit to my cereal, oatmeal or pancakes for breakfast. I have fried egg sandwiches or hard boiled eggs and toast for lunch with any extra fruit. I add veggies to my dinners. My DT sells frozen Texas Toast . I love thatcwith spaghetti. Or use any extra bread to make cheese or garlic bread 🍞 Tiffany, love your hair 💖💜

[@tergar1]

Hey sisters! Thanks again for the video! 👍

[@aleciasmall2170]

Nice meal. Wouldn’t have bought pretzels 🥨 (personal preference), I don’t like them. As Jamaicans we make sausage and sauce (barbeque or ketchup) quite often. We’d definitely buy ramen (that brand is scarce here at this time). I’d buy flour and make fried dumplings for one meal and fritters for another. That same flour could make pancakes 🥞 or waffles. That line, “Cheese is for rich people 🤑 “ always cracks me up.

[@kenyonbissett3512]

Kinda felt the pretzel could have been traded for more protein, bologna for the grill cheese sandwiches.
