Here’s how I would survive for a week off of only $10 of groceries from the Dollar Tree! This meal plan provides 3 meals – breakfast …
You are not only fun to watch, but I’m constantly amazed at how you use everything up so wisely !! Your family is definitely reaping the benefits of your clever, and healthy cooking !! Great Job Lisa, keep it up 🥰
Basis of this logic is right. Most food from dollar tree lacks any real nutrition. Some of it is barely considered acceptable for human consumption. Do you boo!
Great job the meals look delicious, I’m going to try some of them . Thanks for the ideas 🫶
I do like your videos but geez are you messy lol.
Very ingenious. I think you did an excellent job. Also nice to see there are younger women out there who still have great cooking skills. You kind of had me mesmerized as I was watching how you went about cooking. Doesn't take a lot to entertain me I guess lol. Also I noticed your Dollar Tree carries some things ours doesn't have. I've never seen a carton of a dozen eggs at ours. There were a couple of other things I've never seen at ours either, though cant think right now what they were. Anyway, very helpful and entertaining video. Keep up the good work.
You can make inexpensive meat pies with ground meat, potato salt and pepper. Make a basic fry bread (flour oil salt milk powder and water) make little hand pies and fry em up.
I grew up very poor in my early life. We saved our bacon grease and cooking oil. We did not drain meat like the sausage. That little bit of fat added flavor and helps with vitamin absorption. It also adds precious calories (my people were poor when poor people were thin with stunted growth so every bit of fat was eaten or reused.)
Noooooo don’t rinse the rice!! American made rice is fortified with vitamins!
Learn how to make tortillas, fry bread and gububu bread. Saves huge $$. I make a lot of bean soups usually with navy or great northern, if you use bacon save the oil! Use it in the gabubu. Save 5 gallon buckets you can regrow celery, onions, garlic and potatoes.
I find all kinds of healthy vegan food items at the dollar store. Beans, rice, lentils, veggies and a few spices you can make it
It’s now 2022 and the doller tree is now 1.25$ per item 😓
Very good suggestions!
Bravo! That was excellent. Adding Beans to your Stir fry was just exactly right, it’s suppose to be add your leftovers and that’s what you did. Extra protein and any dish containing rice & beans has all the Aminos you need and is a Complete Meal. Little tip on making your tortillas more pliable to roll, Nuc them for 30 seconds in a moistened paper towel. They bend w/o breaking. Liked all your choices and that was especially nice menu for a Bachelor or Bachelorette! Keep making your Video’s and I’ll keep watching…. SanJoséBob
I buy fresh vegetables when they are cheaper than frozen vegetables. And then chop and freeze a large amount of these these fresh vegetables. So that they last longer, and are already chopped ready to cook.

These remind me a lot of how I ate when I was just starting out. Simple meals, repeated ingredients , but all tasty. As the weeks went on and on my pantry wad greatly expanded because of food carryover because at that time I was just feeding myself so I didn't go through an entire bag of beans for example.
Everything looked delicious but that's way too many carbs for a pre-diabetic like me.
You cannot cook bestie 🥴
I think you did great, maybe like you said a bit of more fresh veggies would do an alternate weeks…I was amazed.
Awesome
Love the video. Shows you can eat on a budget well add another 10 dollars and you can get more calories for big eater but also get fresh fruits and or veggies.
The beans can cook faster if you soak them up over night.
Impressive! Good job too. Thanks for sharing.
This is great! I've been eating out too much and really need to stop so I can pay off my debt. You inspired me and I'm totally going to try this next week. Thank you!

Good job young lady
Hey girl, beans are a good protein. Egg is a complete protein that your body can process completely. You are amazing!
This is a great video , but it should really be 15 dollars due to the other seasonings . They usually go for a dollar at the tree also .
We dont got this in Canada 1$ in those freezers eggs are 5$ 6$ A 100$ is hard to live off a week – ugh wish we had this
Have you tried Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser on you counter tops? We've used it on a burnt electric stovetop, and it was amazing!
Avoiding the high sodium items will be best.
New sub! Would love to see an “update” of this video, like can you still get a week of food for 10$?
Dang I really wanted to watch this I just cannot deal with the smacking
Where is this at? I know that's not in NYC..no way!!, there is no way you can eat healthy on ten a week
They say the best cooks are messy Cooks
Our Dollar Tree in Alabama doesn't have all that. I wish they did.
Pretty awesome!You rock!
I loved what you did here. Bravo in $10 us dollars. The same basket of food woukd be about $70 here in Vancouver Canada.
You were talking about things you missed. You failed to mention nutrition. While "eating enough food" and "liking what you made" are a fantastic outcome here, the Canada nutrition guide ans what you made are vastly different. The USA nutrition guide is pretty much the same as ours.
Fiber and protein are essential. While you got the protein mostly covered by the lentils and beans, and the low quality meat by products you chose, you had almost no servings of veggies and fruit.
I do not want people to think they can reproduce this menu and consider it healthy.

Looked like a fun challenge and I loved how you stuck to your flavor profiles.
I am only a beginner when it comes to this stuff, but you did a
