Hey friends! I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I’ve made a Dollar Tree extreme budget video! I’ve been meaning to make …
I really need these vlogs. I am on an extreme budget. Thanks.
I'm in love with your cat. I would watch a whole day-in-the-life video devoted to him!
lol, looks like you should go on an extreme diet
How depressing! Merry Christmas!
Good
You're like an angel.
I am autistic and really struggle to hold onto food ideas and it makes eating really stressful.
Because your ideas a back to basics it's extremely useful.
Thank you so much 💓
When I was a kid we ate rice with milk, cinnamon, and sugar a lot for breakfast. I always really liked it. It’s funny because it took me years to realize that the food I grew up on was budget food. I just always thought I was eating like a king. As an adult my family still eats like kings on budget food. I’ve always wondered why broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots are California food too 😂
Great job,Lisa.! Next time could you include a snack in the budget? (like popcorn) I get sad without a snack a couple times a week!
Nice job. All of your meals looked so good.
Life long Californian here…I have no idea why that mix is called California mix… always wondered myself. 😂
You are amazing. There is no way I could have come up with that many meals with the ingredients you had. Bravo!!!
The smashed beans looked like a delicious take on plain old refried beans. When you transform the beans in some way, it keeps it interesting.
We like to make bean burgers from slightly mashed beans, leftover cooked rice, onion, celery, a dried herb, garlic powder, salt, pepper, a splash of soy or Worcester sauce, and sometimes other leftover veggies or chopped mushrooms. Use a little milk and flour to bind, and an egg if one can be spared. Make patties and fry in a spritz of oil. Seasoning can vary from chili powder to Italian to ground rosemary or parsley. We eat them like hamburgers in a toasted bread bun or with some type of glaze, sauce, or gravy. So it's never "just" rice and beans.
Your video just inspired me to make a budget sausage meatloaf with split red lentils instead of hamburger. I used leftover rice instead of bread as the extender. Cooked the soaked lentils with a dash of Liquid Smoke and Worcestershire sauce. The sweet Italian sausage was on sale for $2.99 for a pound. It was fun getting creative by watching a creative cook at work!
I am always thrilled when you put up a new video! I love your meal ideas and that they are budget friendly.
I am DEFINITELY HERE for Lisa’s best of dollar tree!!!!! Who’s with me????
I've had bean mash as a side before. It's a really good alternative to mashed potato, not only gluten free but also high in protein and fibre and definitely filling.
I’ve had that same rice cooker forever! Still going strong at 3-5 days a week use!
Cat needs a diet for health.
💕 watching your channel, so much creativity and your positive vibes are awesome!
I am in california and lots of stuff grows good here. I have grown cauliflower and broccoli here and it went pretty well.
Is rice cheaper than portage oaks in the USA?
