Who needs a $16.79 sandwich when you can make a $2.17 masterpiece and still have money left for dessert?

We’re cool. And yummy

Yes, why spend $20-30 per person at a ``cheap`` diner/restaurant? It`s a fortune. You might splurge on Xmas/ birthday, but that`s about it. I feel bad for the employees of these places, perhaps losing their jobs, but owner greed is no good, either.

[@torranmhor]

I agree !

[@reliableprepper]

@@johngarbarini1048 it's just getting crazy these days

[@saundrajohnson1571]

I think it’s ridiculous that you have to point out that you’ve washed your hands and your potatoes. Anyone who has followed you knows you’re a clean cook. Besides, what’s the point of your viewers questioning you? It’s not like you’re serving them personally. Lighten up, people! 🙄

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

I can't figure out why anyone worries if you don't wash your hands when you are the only one eating it. Busy bodies I guess. If people would spend as much time correcting themselves as they do correcting others this world would more peaceful.

[@Linda211]

Ain't that the truth!

[@beverlybickelman720]

Agreed!!

Agreed. Besides - the stuff is being cooked.

My millionaire brother-in-law retired last week and is already complaining about finances; I retired last year and have always lived frugally, so when I told him I live simply and am fine financially, he simply could not get his head around it!

I went to a thrift store and scored on a George Forman quesidilla maker for $6 brand new in the box. I have made pizza pockets, breakfast burritos, bean and cheese and chicken quesidillas for dirt cheep! All because of your Taco Bell copycat video. Thank U so much! I am saving hand over fist.❤

Hahaha that was likely the one I donated. 😆 Now I want it back.

I love so many of your vlogs- but the cooking ones. Well they are my favorite!!!🤗

[@shirleydenton4747]

Princess, I have a meat mallet. I place the chicken in a previously used storage bag and pound with the mallet to make it uniform and cook evenly. The greatest part is it doubles the size of your chicken breast. I had been breading and cooking like Popeye chicken sandwiches, and my grandson loves them. They are so full of calories I do not make them for him often. I think he would just love your way of fixing the sandwiches. Not to concern yourself with miserable trolls who are probably handwashing so much they are destroying their natural body flora. As an RN I saw cases where their hands became raw and had to be treated. There is such a thing as being too clean, better known as being too silly!

[@tinascott1479]

Listen, to all of you grouchy people, leave her alone about washing hands and what she eats! Go do something, or get something else to do!!!! If you can't say something nice, get off of here!!!!

[@kysmik8214]

Now I know why store bought chicken breasts are always so much tougher than restaurant chicken breasts! The restaurants use BRINED chicken! Brine: 4 cups cold water, 6 T kosher salt-2 T brown or white sugar. Boil brine for 5 minutes, let cool completely and pour in zip lock bag. Put chicken breasts in bag and let soak for 2 hours before cooking. Remove the chicken and cook as you like. Ta Da- moist fork tender chicken breasts!

[@jonebner7811]

@@kysmik8214 Thank you! Will try it!

[@plantlady1227]

My first job at 15 was working at Fuddruckers in Anaheim, CA. Their food was amazing, not cheap, but more worth the money than competition for sure. Back then, they received sides of beef in the butcher shop portion, and they cut and ground their own burgers. They made the burger buns from scratch too, same for the cinnamon rolls. The cookies and brownies were a mix, but the brownies especially were awesome.

[@titalinda8515]

Fantastic sandwich. I have made it all my life, but with mayo, onions and tomatoes. I have never buttered my buns, I will in the future in order to make them beyond delicious, but scrumptious . I live in Chile, so no possibility t of getting the stuff you added to the potatoes, but maybe a little paprika and a little garlic powder before I get it out of the pan, I like semi fried spices. Keep being frugal, I am 79 years old, and I certainly would love to have now some of the money I spent unnecessarily throughout my life. Life is very expensive nowadays. Big hugs from Santiago de Chile. ❤❤❤

You have to butter your buns!!!!

The spatula reminded me of mom again. Happy mems. :) Also, cooked 1/2 turkey breast on Sunday with mashed taters. Still working on it. Love cooking one time, esp in this heat and humidity. Everyone enjoy the 4th. I'm staying home...watching on TV where I have my bathroom, kitchen, A/C. No crowds. :)

[@paulawinstead5660]

I for one, absolutely LOVE how you "insult the trolls".😁

That chicken burger looks yummy and the chips were proper chips (before I get jumped on I'm English and live in the UK, it's a chicken burger and chips here 😅) Excellent meal and cooked well!

[@joycenagy3140]

LOL! Your cooking is just fine. The biggest problem with folks in this nation is thinking everyone wants to hear their less than complimentary comments. If they took a few moments to pray and have a word with the Lord. There would also be far less strife. My husband came into see what I was watching, he's impressed and so am I. Have a wonderful independence Day. God bless.

Pounding the chicken is another way to make it stretch. Home cooking is the best!

[@trishalou592]

When my son was home for Thanksgiving we were eating turkey for days. I could tell he was getting really tired of it. So what I did was toast the buns in a pan with butter. Gave a whole new meaning to those sandwiches. He wanted it again for the next day when I thought I was going to have to make something else.

[@user-gm4ip5zl5u]

I do the same with cheese also turkey casserole

[@sandyz3466]

You inspired me with your dupe recipes to recreate these fresh pickles I love but that are 9.99 per container now so I rarely get. I just looked at the order of ingredients and estimated amounts. Mine turned out great maybe even better and cost less than 50 cents for a savings of 95%! Plus you get to tweak it to your taste as much as you want. Thank you for the idea!

TIP. If you happen to live close to an Oroweat facility, they will have an outlet store with product at half the price. They sell for $2, a 24oz loaf. If you buy four loaves, the fifth is free. So five for only $8. I will get five and freeze them as I usually toast my bread. Lasts me for the month. They also sell buns, bagels and pastries.

[@TiredEmpath]

Great tip! Thank you.

[@elizabethbesco4758]

My sister taught me to put coleslaw on a chicken sandwich, it is a game changer. Save those 2 extra pieces for chicken on a salad. Yummy in the tummy. Thank you so much!

[@primrozie]

Yum. I just learned a new condiment recipe that's my new favorite. 1/4 cup Siracha, 1 cup mayo, squeeze of lemon wedge, dash pepper. It would be delish on your sandwich. Husband will love it too.

[@onamuir4985]

Brilliant! Every time I want to order pizza - I open the cupboard, make the dough and say, “tomorrow girl “. At home 2-3 dollars ( including energy ) vs. 19-25 dollars!

You had an ad for "Lion King". I got to see it last night. So good. And my dad took me to Spaghetti Warehouse. I got Fettuccini Alfredo, my dad got lasagna. Good salad and bread. It was a fun outing. Seeing "Lion King" was a once in a lifetime event.

[@StephanieJoRountree]

Yum! The only thing I would swap out is the oil. I discovered that seed oils are really bad for you, so I use extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, extra virgin coconut oil, ghee or butter - each depending on what I'm making. Also when buying EVOO, I make sure it's from one source, not mixed from several sources.

I cook at home everyday always waiting for the sales and freezing individual portions. I just needed to fall off the wagon for some fresh deli sliced roast beef not on sale. I made 8 Philly beef steak sandwiches using sauted onion and green pepper, shredded mozzarella on buns not on sale, and au jus for $20. Pure treat for me. Cannot even remember the last time I did that. 8 into $20.00 is $2.50. So glad you posted this. I have felt a little guilty until today. Still have 2 more to make and will NOT feel the guilt now!!! 😂 Thank you Prepper Princess for all your videos! 🎉

[@Linda211]

Yes! No guilt!❤

[@LauraMacMillan-el2kc]

I cook a beef roast and slice it after it has cooled off; then food saver and freeze individual meal sized portions. I use a cheap (?) electric meat slicer to get the slices thin enough - they are always too thick if I try to slice them with a knife. No nitrates and other chemicals, and the flavour is unbelievable - but (!) you do have to wait for a cooler day to cook the roast. I'm doing one right now as a matter of fact. One meal of roast beef, mashed potatoes, and veg; and the rest will be sliced up for sandwiches and Philly beefsteak.

[@leslieharrell5776]

I'm not just saying this...I think your life looks terrific, and have also loved all 4 of your homes. Keep on keeping on, and thank you for the inspiration.

You can pound the chicken flatter so it will take up more bun, maybe even hang out, and thereby stretch the meat further, and look really generous. I've never had Fuddruckers so I don't know what is different about it compared to the homemade fried chicken sandwich.

[@PrepperPrincess]

Good to know I’ll try that!

Actually, the French chefs call all the " brown bits" in the bottom of a skillet "fond" they consider it GOLD because all the flavor is concentrated it that. If your don't use the fond, you are losing a lot of the flavor that you have built up in cooking. BTW, I have 3 4 legged supervisors while I cook. They always want samples for "quality control". I think it's a scam, but I go along with it. Love your vids. Mike from Mass.

Animal fat is not unhealthy, that's a myth spread by the sugar industry in the 60s which unfortunately has survived to this day. The only fat you want to avoid is seed oils like canola oil or palm oil (basically every item in the supermarket with a label on it contains this).
