[@34ShadesOfMeek]

I tried to get enough footage in both stores but it was a bad time to film, hope you all enjoyed for what it was 💕

[@Kristen10-22]

Hubby was about to go into Dollar General but here it was a Dollar Tree. Dib and Dab the pop isle. Yep an Ohioan living in Texas.

[@Kristen10-22]

Girl I am on the floor laughing so hard I just gave myself a hot flash. Do u know I could put that ice cream down in one spoon? Lol

[@Kristen10-22]

Meek is Marcs still there? Wonder those prices

[@libbyjane700]

On Saturday, Dollar General offers a $5 off of a $25 dollar purchase. Pair that with coupons from their app, sale items in their ad, or items from their $1 aisle. I will fill my cart with items totaling $25-$26 bucks, and depending upon how many digital coupons I have, I can really save on my cart items.

[@LadyLakeMusic]

I do exactly the same

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

Smart !❤

[@Cindy-cq8zr]

The struggle is real. Everything is so expensive. Hoping it will get better.

[@Hello0x0]

Walmart is cheaper than dollar tree, but dollar tree is such a blessing w their cleaning supplies. A good dish soap, alcohol, and hot water is all I use to clean by granite kitchen and marble vanity ❤❤

[@starchild1143]

Meek, you're like a cool friend we can hang out with when we don't feel like leaving the house. I love your videos! 🙂

[@Triciaabbi]

You need to get a Walmart membership. You'll only pay half price for it. And the perks like free delivery, free shipping, free paramount+ , not using your gas to shop, it ends up being free . You'll pay only 50 dollars a year or like 6 bucks a month with the assistance program. Plus you'll spend only like 10 minutes putting things in your cart that would have taken an hour at the store. Try it for a month. First month is free.

[@Freaysclaw56]

Plus you don’t get lost in the aisles and buy something you didn’t plan on, like Addidas shoes, lol.

[@carollynt]

You go ahead and shop at that EVIL company. I’ll pass.

[@Emclow]

I only buy cleaning supplies, spices, sides like pasta and rice, tuna, razors, garbage bags sandwich bags and tin foil there cause ours where I live is a ton cheaper there than at a grocery store or Walmart

[@melindam4841]

I hate the people who TROLL you. They can just watch something else. There is nothing to be ashamed of for anyone using benefits provided by our government ( the RICHEST country in the WORLD, with the GREATEST disparity in wealth!) . Thanks for being so brave and enduring the baloney. I think there are a lot more of us that support what you do.

[@Kristen10-22]

Not only have prices gone through the roof but we get so little now too. Meek everything your saying “yeah nope” too I’m voicing the same

[@SellieM6970]

Yes!!!!👏 I want to see this! I do a mix of stores, because toiletries are freaking expensive!!!! Go Meek!!!! 🤗

[@Angela-zp2gy]

Thank you. This was very helpful. Im disabled so its difficult for me to travel to different stores to price items. This helps. Bless you❤❤

[@donnaconrad5433]

You’re an awesome shopper, heads up, spices and rice are going up next month, so stock up now ! Dial is the best soap ,but Caress Daily Silk is awesome and it’s a great price at walmart

[@travo8181]

When l read this title you are blessed beyond blessed. To still have a place to live and can support your family on budget, thank God and stop complaining. Im sure there are many people who would love to trade places with you. lm not saying this to be mean, but its the truth. If you want better for your family, do whats needed to get there. I wish you the best, take care.

[@kellyf9162]

This vlog was a lot of fun! You have a LOT more in your Dollar Tree than we do. We don’t have freezers in ours. Also, Dollar General look fantastic - we don’t have them at all in Canada.

[@vdoubleu-o4u]

For reference, the GV Wal-Mart garlic powder is $1.12 at my Wal-Mart.

[@kirstenskog7809]

I from Maryland! This just came up on my page. I am a Single 51 year old woman with Autism on a tight allowance/budget. Thank you for doing this. When I shop I have to look for all the best prices. This video helped me alot.

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

New-to your channel just subbed ❤ always good to compare costs ! Best wishes

[@34ShadesOfMeek]

Thank you so much for your support 🥰

[@milicagrujic1361]

Being gluten and lactose intolerant saves me soo much money on groceries for real. I just pass those isles like they don't exist. Love your videos as always, can't wait for some looong vlog ams motivational video, really need to hear some wisdome from you❤❤❤❤☘️☘️☘️☘️

[@34ShadesOfMeek]

@@34ShadesOfMeek Thank you!!❤️

[@redrooster1908]

I'm glad you are checking out this store. Hygiene items vary, but good deals if they're in stock 👍

[@julielootens221]

I so miss when everything was a dollar ! Thanks for sharing the walk threw

[@aleshiac9147]

Girl I didn’t know dollar tree had Folgers coffee, Thank you going to see about it today lol

[@carolynmathison4981]

Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed shopping with you ❤

[@shirleygiordano7627]

Hands down, the cheapest place to buy anything us Walmart. You can get Mac and cheese for 35 cents. A bag of apples for 2 bucks. I could go on. Walmart food is affordable

[@34ShadesOfMeek]

EXACTLY! 💕

[@kathyleighton9091]

Our Walmarts charge 58 cents a box for mac and cheese. Still cheaper than most other stores around. I did see Aldi had some cheaper mac and cheese for 58 cents compared to what they were charging....1.29-1.59 a box. I stock up on mac and cheese when I go to Walmart.

[@quillatravone]

Whew, chile this is a struggle of mine! Staying on budget with necessities is something I go left with all the time. The price differences in each store are wild.

[@Thesewingsuccesschannel]

The secret is to stay away from shops. Live frugal and recycle and fix everything. Make simple recipes without the usual ingredients.

[@hippygypsy777]

The Dollar Tree has refried beans in a bag that are delicious if your having Mexican food. Also you can get tostadas there too for $1.25. Better than what you get in the can at Walmart. Some of the seasonings have too much sodium in the but you might find a brand of sauce you like. I get soap, shampoo and cleaning supplies there. Also small gifts for friends and family.

[@LadyLakeMusic]

I am telling you it is a challenge! I know my favorite products and I have shopped around and I know which store to go to for which thing and I go to all of the stores, but I just know which things to buy where to save the money sounds crazy I know. I always use that five off of 25 to go back and buy things that I have seen so I’ll save five extra dollars on them. I love that you took the time to explore and just see the options. Dollar General will run specials on their canned goods and they have special items online that you can look up and make a little list before you go. All of the large tags that hang down are the special promotions which are really good. Now you need a break.!!!!! 😊😊😊❤

[@kristiina-f9h]

Fun comparisons, Meek! 🎉

[@Shettikka-s9v]

The struggle is so'nuff Real 🙌🏾 we got to do what we can for one's family 💖 God won't forsake us,if we just keep strong, faithful disciplined and striving ❤❤ trouble doesn't last always 😢😂❤

[@rredict]

Great videos..... Thank you

[@angelaschaefer5883]

Meek please do video on mix of stores. Things are expensive right now.

[@vdoubleu-o4u]

Sam's 2 liter sodas at my Wal-mart are $1.00. Never tried them though.

[@chrisnatmills7802]

I hear you Meek its hard. Do you have a food bank like they have in Australia, where basically you get you necessary food items for free?

[@Kristen10-22]

The Works toilet bowl cleaner rocks

[@Kristen10-22]

I’ll have to look at our heb & let ya know

[@micheledelnigro9259]

Thank you for the comparison. Just remember if to do a menu for your week or month and if cheaper to buy in bigger box watch your pennies. And remember some of us have to pay tax on food. 😢

[@kimmaried.7313]

Your best bet is dollar tree. Dollar General raised their food prices and they only have junk food in their dollar isle. They do have decent cleaning products in that isle though. Next bet is Aldi. They are still reasonable and their store brand products are cheaper. Also check to see if there is a price choppers in your area or a store like that. They sell items that will expire within weeks to months at a really cheap price. You will be using them right away . You aren’t stocking up so expiration isn’t an issue. And yes , dollar tree and Aldi have the cheapest spice prices.

[@redrooster1908]

I like Pink Stuff cleanser. I get it online. Wish my store carried it.

[@KatonyaReynolds-p2g]

I like your Dollar tree. Where I stay they don't carry most of the stuff I see in this store.

[@Sunshine_80]

Five Below stores have allot of snacks and other items too. 😊

[@34ShadesOfMeek]

I may go in there next , I love some 5 below

If you have a grocery outlet near you even the produce is more affordable.

[@Kristen10-22]

Meek being out in one store exhausts me I get it

[@34ShadesOfMeek]

Yes I’m burnt out, okay.

[@jenniferw1595]

Aldi is where it’s at! Bonus: they stand by the DEI

[@vdoubleu-o4u]

Goya beans are $1.26 at my Wal-Mart.

[@sanriochica333]

I wish i could get the dollar general app but for w/e reason it won't let me set it up. Thanks for comparing prices for us.

[@nancysimmons2225]

The dollar tree is the best place to get your toilet paper and paper towels, Kleenex, aluminum foil, Reynolds rap foil for $1.25. I know Walmart wants for the same thing over three something. I’ve been doing it for years and years and years that’s the only place I get those stuff.

[@johnedwards80]

I buy my uncooked rice and beans there my tooth paste and.mouth wash it's cheap

[@delilahsheele8540]

Aldi is cheeper on spices under $1.00

[@shirleygiordano7627]

I honestly think that Dollar Tree has outlandish prices for anything anymore

[@barbaracooper7371]

I Shop at the dollar tree all the time and stock Up.And i work because when Trump finish every body is going to stock Up.

[@martna1]

Goya like boy.

[@AngelaValentine]

Do you have an Aldi near you? I’ve been going there lately. Even Walmart is getting pricier.

[@kathyleighton9091]

All stores are getting up in prices.
