    You did so well. Everything looked good and you included meat too for the meat lovers. Loved that last meal with kielbasa right up my alley. Keep cooking and vloging . Bless you and your family.

    What a great video and awesome ideas. We had 'leftover buffets' where everyone may not eat the same thing when I was growing up. My hubs takes leftovers for his lunch because I always make too much

    Hi Tamara!! Such an informative and creative video which is very helpful especially with today’s prices. I have a question, do you plan your meals before shopping? Do you check out flyers and apps?

    Loved your video! The meals looked delicious and the fact you made everything with a 50 dollar budget was great! I’m an empty nester so I don’t make meals most days but I still need to watch my money!

    Good job 👏 I make a chicken and mushroom dish and it makes 6 portions and I make cube steak and mushrooms and that makes 6 portions. I like to make these 1 time a month so I don't have to cook every day.

    This was a great challenge! Groceries are unfortunately quite a bit more expensive where I live in MA. but your ideas are great! The chicken and rice dish you made I make almost the same thing but instead of the chicken boulion I put taco seaonng. We love it!
    Going to try making that last meal you made with kielbasa.😃

    So true about spices making a difference. Yum for this menu! The twist on sausage & peppers looked great. Most of your prices are very similar to ours in Michigan but Great Value Marinara sauce is $1.42. I often shop two different stores because of this (like you said with the chicken and Ruler Foods). You are such an encouragement even to this old Grandma; I hope there’s lots of young people learning from you

    I absolutely love this video. Today I went to the grocery store with $60 to get our groceries. We were out of several things and I needed items for meals too. Before I left home I gathered up some coupons from the store I was going to and check that store's sale paper. In this store at the front there is a kiosk where I can scan my card and get more coupons so, of course, I did. I realize this all sounds like a lot of work but really it is worth it because I spent $39.05 and got what I needed EXCEPT green beans. 🤣
    But I was so excited. Budget shopping is not hard and it is so worth the extra little bit of effort.
    Always enjoy your channel because you make it look so easy yet keep it so real.

    Hey Tamara. I really really appreciate you so much !! You have the biggest most caring Heart ! 💜 Thanks for showing All of us that it's ok to make cheap meals and they look and taste amazing.. your such a Blessing to me, I'm sure to many. But I personally just wanted to say Thank You from the bottom of my heart. I Love you !! 😍 It's a scary world. I've cried so much lately. My kids are grown and I still worry about them having enough to eat. I make sure I make plenty extra food and invite them over to eat. Otherwise I can't take a bite of my food. Anyway. Everything looked Delicious. I really love your beef stroganoff yum. I'm making that this week. Take Care and God Bless Y'all 🙏 Love From your Indiana Friend.

    I’m impressed that you fed two teenage boys for that price with so many leftovers! When my kids were that age leftovers never made it to the next morning. Lol
    Great looking meals and fast to the table!

    I love the way you did this video with the grocery haul and menu and cooking all together. Your menu plan was amazing :-). If you are like me, some of those left over were used as lunches. 🙂 🤗 can’t wait to see what great ideas you come up with next.

    Great job! Thank you for these budget meal videos. You are appreciated. There is nothing wrong with leftovers. I like that you are raising Winston to eat leftovers too. Proud of you. My husband & mother in law will not eat leftovers. Actually my husband will eat leftover chili & sometimes leftover spaghetti.

    Hey girl…….I do enjoyed this video, everything looked so good. I really like the chili dog and can’t wait to try it. I love hotdogs. I really love the sausage one too. All looked great. At least I know now that the $50 budget works. In the very beginning, I had doubts about it. You surprised me lol.
    Thank you for sharing. Love ya bunches ❤️❤️❤️ Kim

    We constantly do the beef stroganoff this exact way and the bread pizzas so affordable and so good !! Anxious to try the others as well. Love videos like this where it is everything (proteins, etc )in the amount you have for the week ! The sausage and veggies over rice I've never had with tomato sauce I've always done soy sauce so this will be a good way to change it up as well !
