The breakfast in this video has been a go to for me all week!!
You don't drain your pasta?
Miranda you did it again 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 You are amazing girl. I’m am sure trying all these. I can “taste” some celery in that potato “salad” Yum! Tyfs xo
That rice pudding…it’s very similar to Arroz con Leche. We grew up eating that as a warm dessert or even a breakfast. It never occurred to me to add bananas or oats to thicken it….I’m soooo going to try this!
So sorry for your loss of your pup. Mine passed away three years and it’s still a challenge for me. Growing up, my mom would make us atole de arroz (rice oatmeal) which is what you made. She would use evaporated milk and cinnamon sticks. Some times she would use orange peels or lemon peels to change it up. It’s my favorite oatmeal. I use almond milk instead of the evaporated milk. Made some a few weeks ago. LOVE your channel. ~Melissa
Great inexpensive recipes. Also fast & easy! They all look very tasty! And I’m so sorry about your loss of your family pet.
That's a lot of food for $4! It looks like you could have ate for 2 days. 🙂
I just lost one of my pups last Saturday (so a week ago). It's so hard to say good-bye. Sorry you had to go through that, too.
Thank you so much for these great ideas! Definitely going to try them!
I’m so sorry about your loss. I lost my dog two years ago. It’s really hard – they are our best friends 💕🙏🏻
I just hit my WinCo today. They just did a renovation and reopened the bulk section. It’s soooo nice.
no judgement honestly just curious but does ur husband also eat this way??
Yum! Potatoes are $4.79 a bag here.
❤️ love your doggy. Sorry to hear about your other buddy. Great video!
You did amazing on $4! I've been airfrying chickpeas too sooooo good! Banana rice pudding is genius. I don't have Instagram (I minimilised social media to just YouTube best thing) so I can't post up when I make your meals.. but I do make them and get so much inspiration thank you 💞
I did an oatmeal, choc fudge protein powder and a tablespoon of peanut butter breakfast the other day just trying to use up what's in my pantry and to add calories. The protein powder is pea based… Won't be getting it again as it's not that nice but the peanut butter disguised the taste! I hate food waste so I can't justify throwing away 1kg of protein powder.
So very sorry to hear about the loss of your fur baby. Levi must be feeling it too 💔 how sad for you all 💞 sending hugs 💞
Im wondering if it would be possible to do the daily dozen on a budget? I would love it if you could try and do that.
I needed cheap meals for this week and I am sooooo excited to try these bc I have these ingredients but was out of ideas ❤️❤️
So sorry about your loss. This was definitely an interesting take on cheap eats. ✌
Today I have:
2 pounds of whole wheat linguine – $1.88 from walmart
1 large bundle of collard greens – $0.75 from a my local grocer
1 twenty-eight ounce can of Cento Crushed Tomatoes – (now $3.85) $0.70 I bought them on sale last year
1 cup of dry lentils – $0.35
4 TBSP of flaxseed – $0.12
That's a typical day for me!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Our fur babies definitely have a huge place in our hearts! Thanks for such great ideas… again!
Oh my goodness, RICE PUDDING…why have I never thought of that?!? You are a genius!
Yummy meals – thanks!
I love the banana rice pudding recipe. I am going to make it now for breakfast tomorrow.
Banana rice pudding for breakfast! YUM!! 😋
I have been craving potato salad for a couple of months now. So good!!
You are so creative with your meal ideas….
I tried making garbanzo beans as chips years ago. They did not turn out so well. Lol.
So sad to lose a dog. Prayers to you and your husband. After 7 yrs I still call my current t dogs Freckles and she has been gone for 7 yrs now. I was just telling my husband how much I miss her. 😥 Its hard. It does get better. It just takes time.
Love and prayers. ❤🙏
Bought one green pepper this week at my local grocery store. $2.08. Definitely would starve on $4 a day. 🙁
You did great for $4! 💜
I eat potatoes daily but haven't done a potato salad in so long-that sounds really good. 😀
And your little dog is so cute, glad he's comforting you and keeping you company! ❣
That pizza pasta sounds scrumptious! Maybe tonight! Precious puppy. Soaking in all the love! ❤❤❤
All of these dishes looked great. And for $4 at Walmart no less 😱 talk about awesome! Sorry to hear about your doggie, I've always wanted a furry friend to love, but sadly my budget doesn't allow me to. At least your new cooking buddy looks really happy 🖤
I'm always happy to hear that you plan on doing more budget videos in whatever form they come! 🙂 I like the idea too of different versions/lengths of days etc, and by the way three different vegetables and a fruit for just one day is a good amount considering what you spent; imagine that X7 for a week and it's a lot of food and a lot of veg! 🙂
And did you know the chickpeas also count towards your '5 a day', so really you have 4 different veg, pretty good really!
I don't know the exchange rate of Australian dollars to US but I feel this amount of food would have cost closer to $10-$12 here, so you did really well to get as much as you did for that price! Well done! 🙂
Also, I don't know if you saw but Frugal Fit Mom just showed a baked rice dish which is savoury and super easy, so that is something else you could have done or can do another time with limited ingredients and especially if you have spare rice leftover. Maybe you could try it another time, looked really good. 🙂
Love the potato/corn…”An Entree of Starch with a Side of Starch, please”😆. The Per/Day idea..you got so much food for $4! LEVI!!
Love love loved the breakfast! It was SO GOOD! I used leftover purple rice for mine. It was pretty and delicious 😋
I will be trying the other recipes too.
Thanks for sharing! Diced dill pickles, pickle juice and dried dill are yummy additions to potato salad too 😁
Sorry for your loss. Big virtual hug!
Great recipes! Going to try the chickpeas and pasta sauce with nutritional yeast. 😊
Yay….was so excited when I seen you had posted a video. I would eat all of these, they all looked delicious Miranda. I bet the potato salad would be good with the southwest mustard that you got me started on….btw thank you for that because it is so good.
Very enjoyable and fun!! You are so creative! My heart goes out to you for your pup loss!! Great vid!! Thanks so much Miranda✨💗✨🧚♀️🌺🌈😘🦋💜🤗
Ohhh rice pudding omg yum!!! That is so my kind of meal
Excellent! Love all the recipes 😋. I shall definitely try the nutritional yeast addition to marinara sauce, but maybe over rice as my tummy doesn't like pasta, even the gluten free variety 😁 xx
Oh no, so sorry about your dog! 🙁 it was a decent amount of veggies for an extreme budget plan 😉
So many extreme budget meal plans are super repetitive. Your day of eating was really diverse AND affordable. Bravo!
Miranda, you are so inspiring!! Thank you for these meal ideas! I think I’m going to try every single one of them.
I’m so sorry about the loss of your sweet fur baby❤️ Levi is just adorable and I’m so glad he’s a comfort to you during this difficult time.
Awe I’m so sorry for your loss dear big huge huggs! I enjoyed this video so much thank you for the great ideas!
How have I have been vegan for 8 years and never made potato salad?! Definitely need to after watching this.
I’m so sorry about your fur baby. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Great ideas. The banana 🍌 "milk/cream" is something we had often instead of dairy milk 🥛when I was a child. I thought it was great in the rice pudding. I also like your tip to add mushrooms and olives in addition to the peppers to the pizza 🍕pasta. Good job! Thanks!!! and best wishes!!!
I also send heart thoughts and condolences for your loss of your doggo. Are you fostering or did you adopt that new little nugget?
