I think it’s nice that your family is not afraid to get in the view of the camera. Makes it relatable.

This just goes to show that you are an amazing cook. It's not easy to put a meal together using food from one store that isn't actually a supermarket. You are awesome and inspirational.

[@Justthebells10]

Thx

[@JescaML]

Most of the stuff at the dollar tree you can get at the grocery store

[@challenger70fan]

​@Justthebells10 heather what is the required amount, that you need for attention, to get you through the day??? Does upper michigan, get that lonely..??

[@amyrivers4093]

@challenger70fan What is wrong with you? There is no need to be nasty, especially using a comment stream that I started. Have the courage to comment in the main comments if you feel so negative about Heather. It would seem that you are the one who is seeking attention.

[@amyrivers4093]

@JescaML I live in a different country, so I don't know exactly what you can buy and where apart from what is shown on youtube. I got the impression that there is a limited range of items that you can get at Dollar Tree compared to supermarkets. That makes it harder and a challenge to only use ingredients from Dollar Tree, so in that context, your comment doesn't make sense.

[@geriann8]

Hey my sister,when she does stir fry. She buys egg roll wrappers. But she cuts them in strips and fry’s them like that, and put them on the side so you can add them to the stir fry when you serve it. Yummm so good

[@Kimmie_F]

Polish sausage, sliced into coins, stir fry, and add bell peppers (all colors), sliced, sweet onions sliced, and add garlic powder and seasoned salt. Serve in a bowl or on tortillas. I eat mine with yellow mustard, but the hubby eats his with bbq sauce 😋 fast, easy and cheap 😊

Dollar tree has really gotten better with their food items, esp the variety of snacks. I like picking different things for a 1.25 every time i go. I have found so many different things that i would normally never see and/or buy from the grocery stores.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

I'm so excited about this video. Hope you share more like them. The meal and dessert didn't look bad. I've seen worse.

Or use more oil for the egg rolls, and let them sit and cook and crisp instead of bothering them and stirring them too soon and too often… My opinion

You need sesame oil when frying up rice in a wok or stir fry oil. Both work great and heat up fast but gives that Asian taste too.

[@locostasia]

[@lenziany]

I don't even live in the US, but i just love watching your vids, lol.. As an asian we mix rice and coconut milk instead of plain water.. they taste great!.. but first you can sautee paprika and union, and then put on the rice mix (with coconut milk, add little bit of salt) .. and for protein you can add minced beef/shredded chicken❤

[@nancysadewater964]

We make smoked sausage (cut and browned in butter, oil, or bacon grease), then add the pepper and onion blend bags and the Normandy blend. These can be all cooked in a skillet or combine all in large bowl and sprinkle in oil and add garlic, onion, paprika, and any other spices you want, blend well and put on foil covered sheet pans and cook until everything is cooked. Then however you cook them add rice to serve with.

You should fry the egg rolls last and then cut them up in the stir fry, also use sesame oil. You forgot the eggs that go in the stir fry. You have to make scrambled eggs to go into with the rice and then add veggies

[@MsCyril69]

In the end husband's opinion was the honest and most important one... Love your video from Indonesia 👍🏼

I always get that chili sauce to use for left over Chinese rice , or the spring rolls from dollar tree

[@patriciaherman6499]

Not bad for Dollar Tree so that's about $4.40 per person and that includes a dessert. I don't like soy sauce so i use sweet and sour sauce. I agree crisp up the outer egg roll. Can't wait to see the next Dollar Tree meal Blessings to you and your family. 😊🇺🇲

[@carmelaburrone5029]

Hi Heather...I loved your heart ❤️ sweater. Your hair worn down made you look a bit younger, but I think you look gorgeous with it worn up as well. 😊 As for the dinner, I would have left the egg rolls whole and cooked them in the air fryer. That being said, next time I would try making a different Dollar Tree meal altogether, maybe a casserole of some kind. It's going to be extremely difficult cooking a meal with ingredients from Dollar Tree since blyour family is accustomed to home cooking, which can't compare when it comes to taste and quality. Have a good week. Sending love and blessings from Connecticut.

[@angelgerrey6959]

It looks delicious!! Just came across your videos. You said someone said you look younger with your hair down, and I'm not sure how old you are 😊but you look beautiful either way but like it better down.

Thank you for pointing out the difference in Oreo packages that had the different amount of ounces in them. A lot of people don’t know or think about that.

[@kellygu2386]

Ok couple tips here from Scotland U.K. make sure oil is smoking hot and add your garlic /ginger etc before adding a day old rice to stir fry , cook your egg rolls rolls till crispy in oven or oil then chop them up and add at the end ,. Sesame oil also makes a difference , don’t let water into your stir fry so buy fresh veg if possible, my husband is Chinese btw , lots of love Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 UK xxx

Years ago the dollar tree where I used to live had a version of chicken fried steak. They were delicious.

Try smoke sausage slice and brown mixed with diced tomatoes with garlic and basil and a fourth cup chicken broth. Cook rotini pasta. Add the pasta and a can of French style green beans to the fry pan. Top with shredded mozzarella cover and heat through till cheese melts. I taste test to get the garlic and basil level to our preference.

[@joannaazar7396]

[@michellewebb2125]

Could add eggs...just do a chop scrambled in small bits in the wok for going with like a fried rice version too. Get more protein for those big boys. And eggs, well you have plenty of those! 😊 My kiddos favorite dollar store meal was either 1. the Banquet brand family size Salisbury steaks in brown gravy. Get 8 steak patties- 2 per person sized. (We were a family of 4) it was under $5 but that was like over 8 years ago. My kids are grown now. To go with it, I'd get 2 instant mash potato packets. Brand that comes in a redish brown packet that says creamy butter flavored. Their other brands were not good & grainy texture. Then I'd grab a bag of sweet corn & a package of brown n serve rolls. I fed all of us for about $9 with tax,. Using just butter & milk i already had at home. The kids put the extra gravy with the patties on their potatoes. Or 2. The other dollar store meal I'd make they liked was...imagine if a japanese Ramen soup had a baby with an American chicken noodle soup ...this dish would be it's offspring. Lol. My kids loved it. I'd get 5 packets of chicken Ramen noodles, crush it up cook it, but add its seasoning & yellow cap Mrs dash, a little bit of poultry seasoning & crushed celery flakes. I'd add a few heaping tbs to the water to make it a broth instead via using Better Than Bouillon paste- the roasted chicken flavor. I'd then stir in either a frozen Veggie blend or frozen variety corn, or a canned cut green beans drained. I added 1 diced finely carrot too with the deydrated minced celery flakes. Then after I mixed all that together with all the seasonings, broth, noodles, & veggies, I'd add half of a shredded rotisserie chicken. I'd buy them when they would go on sale either bogo or for a $3 half price sale. Simmer on low til carrots etc are tender. I'd serve a baguette crusty bread torn into wedges so as to dip in the soup broth. Id get a $1 baguette in the day old bread section/cart at my grocery store. The seasonings & better than bouillon really gave it it's flavor in the broth. It's a very hearty one pot meal that cost me under $10 to make for a family of 4 plus half a leftover rotisserie chicken after. I'd use it to make chicken sandwiches or chicken salad sandwiches for dinner the next night along with a box of Velveeta mac n cheese & another Veggie. So that meal made 2 very cheap meals, next nights dinner only cost maybe another $5 dollars assuming i had mayo on hand. One meal a week in my household was something easy, quick, & cheap but tasty. Typically weds nights I'd do my quick cheap meal of the week. I'd make more involved & higher cost meals like a pot roast w all the fixings on Saturday & Sunday dinners. My daughters fav weeknight meal growing up was tatertot casserole, my oldest sons fav was taco bar- taco meat lettuce tomatoes onion guac salsa sour cream & tortillas along with Spanish rice and refried beans on the side or a 9 layer burrito he'd make out of it all. While my youngest son's fav weeknight meal was spaghetti with meatsauce or meatballs & texas toast garlic bread with green beans in butter & garlic. I sure do enjoy watching you make such BIG meals for your large family. Hope my few ideas are worth a try, as it does cut costs to every week have 1 dinner night that's very budget friendly, tasty, filling, non time consuming, & covers all the food groups. 😊

instead of buying those expensive egg rolls, you can get the shredded cabbage or broccoli slaw mix in a bag in the salad section (it also freezes well) and get a bag of crunchy chow mein noodles for on top or look for won tons or egg roll wrappers, cut into strips and crisp up in the airfryer

A great new snack ive found at one if the doller trees is chili fries from tgfridays.

[@laurasloate2241]

As I walked the Dollar Tree with my daughter, I checked out the food section. While it's not always the most healthy choices, there are many affordable options that are filling and fairly nutritious. If your Dollar Tree has a frozen and refrigerated section that really opens up affordable options. For those in areas where a typical grocery isn't available, the Dollar Tree is often the only shopping choice for them. I found a great selection of dried beans, rice, pastas, oats and grits. There was canned water packed tuna, salmon, mackerel and even canned cooked beef in broth and cooked chicken in broth. Staples like oil, vinegar, flour, sugar, spices and other essentials were also available. Our store has a great cold and frozen section, too. Lots of veggies, fruits, bacon,sausage, ground beef or turkey, milk, eggs, cheeses, etc. I did see things I could get elsewhere for a cheaper price. But if I didn't have transportation or another store near me, I could definitely find plenty at the Dollar Tree to feed myself or my family. Please don't judge those who struggle to get meals on the table whether due to lack of transportation or money. We all could be in those shoes at any given time. Believe me, when your kids are crying because their tummies are empty, you don't care where the food comes from as long as you can't feed them.
