Hey y’all! I love doing videos like “How to eat for $10” and other fairly extreme grocery budget demonstrations, but today I wanted …
You are amazing because food is so expensive and it’s good to learn savings
Love your videos. I'm from MS and I learned to cook the same kinds of meals you do. I remember adding other cuisines to my repertoire after I got out on my own because once I tasted them, I had to know how to cook them. Do you have an Asian or Indian market near you? I moved to a smaller town and I miss shopping those stores so much! I used to buy every kind of lentil, so many beans, spices, veggies and fruits, dark soy sauce and huge bags of rice and cans of olive oil so cheap! Now I can't even find mochiko or decent kimchi and I'm dying to try konjac noodles. I order gochujang from Amazon, but I can't afford to order everything I want that I used to be able to buy off the shelves of those stores.
That gal can cook, can’t she? I am always sooooo impressed!
Can anyone tell me how they get jalapenos off their hands after cutting them?
She may have gone over this in another video that I haven't seen, but I tried to cook with fresh jalapenos for the first time recently and scratched my eyes after washing my hands like normal. I've never felt pain like that before and I'd like to avoid it in the future.
A new Lisa Dawn video…YEA!!!
ALWAYS THROW IN A HALF CUP OF YOUR SALTED PASTA WATER BABE…..ALWAYS! YOU WILL SEE! NOT YELLING, JUST TALK IN CAPS 😂 LIVE WATCHING YOUR COOKING
I just love your videos!! And the cat!!! He’s sooo beefy!!! 😂 just like mine. We make chili the same except I do add some cumin. Your food always looks so good!! ❤
I would have to peel those carrots. My Siamese kept cracking hers eyes open when she would hear your kitty.
Wash your chicken 🐔
You ALWAYS provide inspiration! I appreciate how relatable you are and a contagious smile! Thank you for doing these videos! I got so excited when I see new one has been made! Have a wonderful week!
We don’t peel our ginger either, especially if it’s super fresh. 😁
Love the oven mittens and I'm going to try and make a few of those recipes!
It's always good to see you. My lady is working on getting me introduced to more poultry into my diet and she loves your recipes and ways to save money on groceries! Thanks for sharing!
In Michigan, it’s not only a policy, but a law.
Can I hire you to me my personal chef for a week?! 😍😍
Thank you
Crazy! I just made this meat loaf two weeks ago btw! It didn't taste so great.. Same recipe. Felt like the croutons were mushy.
Not sure what I did wrong but I felt like I wasted that meat and should have made burgers. Would have been more enjoyable.
I used all kinds of powder like you except the hot sauce. I love the Stouffers meat loaf btw.. was sad about the difference.
Generally if it's marked a certain way and the manager is thinking about the store numbers and bottom line vs what the local laws are or state's, they could get in big trouble with the Dept of Weights and Measures and correctly pricings vs not and then not honoring it is a possible fine and then corporate would be involved. Since he was nice I could see letting it go. But I know of a friend who the night shift manager in charge was not willing to help nor inform the store about it but also took their sweet time in coming to the front. Not only did this cause her to miss her ride back home, waiting for another took an hour and she was out in the open and in danger since she was a sitting duck in the city. That didn't sit well with her nor the people that cared for her and after some consideration and discussion. She made the call and an inspector came out and got em. She even warned the manager of the seriousness and he acted like he wouldn't do the work. So that was like calling her bluff, and she showed them it wasn't a bluff. From then on they were sweet to her. Funny how that works.
I love your videos. I wish we had grocery stores here with prices that low. That's amazing. I live in Canada. There is just myself and my husband now. – we spend about $400 every 2 wks — crazy.. but you're giving me some fantastic ideas 😊
Great job with your shopping deals. Food is crazy expensive here in Massachusetts!
Great meals!! Thank you for sharing your grocery haul & meals. You always give me such great ideas. Love seeing the kitty. Now I'm on the search for those ovenmits & potholders.
I've learned so many valuable cooking tips from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I was wondering if you could share a video of you cooking with KHAL
Yeah! Love when your videos pop up. I live alone now my kids are grown, it's so hard to cook for one. I been making meals and feeding my neighbor some, makes cooking so much more enjoyable. Love how you cook around the sales you get.
Wow! great prices. I pay 8.99 – 9.99 a pound for all my meats. Love your videos. I don’t use the spices you use and I only shop organic foods and products but I do love your videos. Thanks……..👍👍
I really like these weekly normal cooking videos. Seeing what you cook IRL instead of dollar store challenges is very helpful for more realistic budget and meal planning.
I love roasting chickpeas, cube up butternut squash, green beans, asparagus
Thank you Lisa for another great video! Love everything you cook. The chili looked yummy. I cook my meatloaf in a pan I bought from pampered chef..its the one with all the squares. The pieces come out great! Btw, your cat is beautiful! Have a great week!
I love carrots so much! I am going to try the TikTok crispy Parmesan roasted ones this weekend. I also make meatloaf with the same things every time, otherwise my family won’t eat it.
Everything you cooked looked amazing!!! I love when you tell us the food prices and the stores. You got some great bargains, especially the steaks! I wish we had a Food Lion. My stores are still pretty high on meats and produce. (Not much meat sales)
I used to live in Raleigh!
How do you clean your cast iron? I avoid using mine because I am deterred by the whole don’t use soap thing
🐈🙂
I love watching your channel! I always enjoy the ideas from the meals.
YAY! Thank you Lisa Dawn for another great video! I always get impatient when it's been a while, not fair I know lol! Also I was sooo happy to see your handsome cat guy, I hadn't seen him in any of your vids for a while and I started to be concerned about him – glad to see he's his usual big guy sweet self!
Daaayuuuuung that’s a big kitty lol
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS another great video. You are awesome Lisa Dawn ❤
I always find myself wondering who on earth would dislike this video?
Day 4 reminds me of "marry me Chicken"!
I never buy hothouse tomato because their flavor is so disappointing. Wondering what you do to fix that?
I always love watching your videos. They really help me relax . ❤😊
Skipped over the steak meal. It felt dishonest somehow…..
Have you ever made a taco meatloaf..
