Hi Tamara. I really enjoyed this and I appreciate you making videos like this. You don’t need to apologize. ❤️

[@christinedattos9686]

Hey hey 🥰🥰🥰... watching while j cook dinner ...well at least Start the sauce and mix up the cheeses 🤪

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Tamara. I am definitely going to try the Stromboli. I am Italian and have never made one so now is the time LOL! Thank you for sharing. Hugs.

[@gretchenb7884]

I really love this video. I love the Stromboli idea, and that you used fish in a budget video. Great job!

[@lizmiller2341]

It all look amazing 4 or 5 budget meals you still bought it. I really enjoy this series. Thank you 😊

[@christiegodfrey7756]

I’m a family of 3 and we always have leftover hamburger or hot dog rolls and I use them for garlic bread all the time!! My parents did the same thing when I was kid.

[@Bribear1977]

I know I've said this before, but I really appreciate this series! Everything looks sooooo good. Thank you 💜

[@2Beldam]

💯 agree ❤ great value store brand products are great. We eat them all the time and never had a clunker. Always tasted as good as the name brand if not better (my spouse prefers great value bbq chips & root beer to the big name brands) 👍and as an allergy family I appreciate how great value goes above & beyond and does a “may contain” warning (they are not required by law to do that) letting us know if it was made on shared lines or in a shared facility with our allergens. Takes a lot stress out of eating.

Thank you for sharing Tamara love all the recipes especially the stromboli yummy. Have a blessed evening stay safe and healthy. I have everything in my pantry going to try the chicken casserole. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏

[@GriffinFamVlogs]

I loved watching this. The stromboli made my mouth water! I'll have to add that to our dinner menu sometime. Also thanks for the idea to add garlic and butter to the broccoli florets! My girls absolutely loved it and couldn't get enough broccoli. Lol.

[@teresahuffman7687]

Hi Tamara!! Thank you for doing these extreme budget meals!! I always look forward to these videos! I know I’ve said this before, but you have helped tremendously! 💕💕💕

[@MaegensKitchen]

Great ideas!!

[@LaLa-rs4jb]

Thankyou for this video it's really helpful.you are so true and kind people are going thru hard time🙏❤️

[@Debbienezfan]

I have switched to store brands as well. And I haven't had a problem with anything!

[@janetdwyer1867]

These are going to be great for lunch.thanks.

[@apriltownsend8463]

That's what we do. Increase or decrease the number of sides we're having based on the meat we're doing.

[@cherylfoutch8664]

The meals look great Tamara! Really good ideas.❤️

[@ashleyrobinette5317]

I love these videos! I spend $30-$35 every time I go to a fast food restaurant feeding the four of us. You spent that much on five meals! We make garlic bread out of the Everything bread from Walmart, it has like garlic seasoning and stuff on the top kinda like Everything Bagel Seasoning, so you really just need butter, but sometimes I had garlic powder and basil, oregano, or parsley on top to make it look fancy. It's also just $1. It's so good! See if you can find it next time.

[@qq1651]

That peppers and onion mix would have been bomb with the potato and broccoli mixture you had with your fish. I love this realistic budget meals.

[@bigredohio]

Great recipes.

[@treenaakers9429]

Great video! I use hb and hot dog buns for garlic bread alot. Most of the time it's because I have 2 or 3 leftover buns from a pkg and don't want them to go bad. I've also made croutons with them.

[@kyoung2918]

A couple weeks ago I made something similar to the cajun alfredo but I used frozen cheese ravioli for my pasta and OMG it was so good. My husband was leery of it but he absolutely devoured it and he said his leftovers the next day were even better so we'll definitely be making that again and it is so inexpensive. To fix the jarred alfredo, I just added more butter and more parm to give it a more homemade taste.

[@yvettegerry9862]

Everything looks so good 😊thank you ❤

[@earlenebrown7181]

You didn’t mess up your fine real life happens. Loved the meals you did . 😀

[@kerryberry142]

Looks great

[@Sammi_May]

Great video and delicious recipes ❤️❤️

[@annswann1941]

I always enjoy your videos. A budget stretcher that you do but don’t really talk about is buying things when you find a great price even if you don’t need it immediately. This week I bought 6 pounds of onions because they were only $1.50; I couldn’t pass it up since I put onions in so many dishes. I will dehydrate about half and half will be stored with plenty of air flow so they stay good for weeks. Hopefully everyone knows to buy basics whenever on discount so they have it in their pantry

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

Yep! I talk about that all the time!

[@annswann1941]

@@SouthernWifeEverydayLife I guess I haven’t listened for it because it’s so ingrained in how I shop 😀 I love how you stock up to shop your own pantry

[@angelas9403]

The Stromboli looked really good!!! I've never made it before! 🙂

[@apriltownsend8463]

My cousin loves the Cajun pasta from Chilis so he might like that! And we do sandwich bread with garlic powder and butter on it for our poor man's bread! So yummy!

[@patriciahartless2095]

That's okay Tamara . Every body forgets things . You don't owe us any apology . And we know you'll show . How to repair the meal another day . Thanks for sharing the rest of the four meals . Quick and delicious ones . You And Family . Enjoy The Rest Of Your Evening .

[@JoAnnCarpenter815]

No need to apologize Tamara, life happens! Everything looks awesome!!

[@lisas321]

Girl!! We all forget so don’t give it another thought. The meals sounded delicious and I don’t even like fish but going to try it. Thank you for addressing the Alfredo sauce difference. I’ve thought it was just me. I just do my own. What’s next week going to be??

[@stacyrussell460]

Watching while making dinner & had to keep pausing when I was stirring my gravy 😂. The stromboli?! Yum! Have to try that soon. Four out of five meals is very good & I'm sure the fifth was equally amazing.

[@lonapritchett7786]

Everything looked delicious!

Incredible meals on an extreme budget!!!

[@katharinesmith4633]

You’ve done it again! Great recipes 🥰❣️

[@rachelhero3413]

I am not an Alfredo gal, but my family has been begging for some chicken Alfredo. I wonder if I can get them to agree to the Cajun pasta or if they would think the Italian chicken was a “fancy” Alfredo?

[@ellenwhite8395]

You did good.. you know you can make homemade cream of chicken and others?

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

Yep

[@CARLA-JO-THOMAS]

Love budgeting videos

[@pmelaglover9913]

Wow you are amazing!! Great video!!!

[@BarbieSC6]

I almost always buy store brand either at Aldi because most of their stuff is store brand anyway or at Walmart I'll get great value

[@kathynester5217]

👍

[@kerriekrafts]

How much cheaper is block cheese at your Walmart? I just checked mine and it was $3.98 for a 1 pound block and also $3.98 for a 16 ounce bag of shredded.

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

A lbs is sometimes the same, but if you buy 8oz blocks of cheese it’s going to be about 22c less then shredded.

[@debbiereilly900]

Don't apologies for being human will see the recipe when you get to love your videos. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏

[@meaganlowe2238]

We have a joe vs where I live which is a baby heb with heb products but for way cheaper . I buy the 16 count hot dog buns for 1.32 so one night we use the hot dog buns as chili dogs and then we will use the other half for like meatball subs ,garlic bread,sugar Bread . Lol sometimes my oldest will ask for a sub sandwich using them lol 🤣 I definitely making the Stromboli for my kids they will love it
