Hey friends! In April 2021 I made a video titled, “How to Eat for $10 a Week at Aldi”, and I’ve been meaning to circle back around …
When I made bread many years ago, I used unbleached flour instead. It looks a little different than most people are used to, but is much better for homemade bread. When making your own pasta, you may want to buy durum wheat flour instead of regular flour. They even sell semolina flour for making pasta as well. That's the best.
You need a liquid measuring cup for the water, they are very different. and I always use milk instead. It makes the bread taste different.
Brilliant Video! Thank you so much for sharing these great ideas ❤
For lunch you could also make French onion soup with those onions you bought. Instead of beef consommé just use some beef buillion cubes. Instead of French bread use your homemade bread, top with cheese and stuck in a toaster oven to brown it. ❤
Something that I learned from my mom and still do, if you have some freezer burnt meat, pour some vinegar over that spot, it will bring it back. Maybe try it.

Finally someone who pronounces pierogi right! For efs sake it is not pierogies 😀
Luv ur videos…very helpful in trying times…Thanks
Does the pasta work out to be cheaper making it this way or buying it dried from the store.
Thank you for comparing the prices from 2021 . Prices on food up over 100% . This is real inflation ,not the bs numbers the government spews out.
The biggest problem with food prices today is that the Senators send their maid to do the grocery shopping, so they don't know hw high the prices have gone up!
Wow! You did a fantastic job in meal planning and you ate really good for very little money.
Always great & appealing recipe ideas.❤
Love your videos & the quick & easy recipes you provide! Thank you for these delicious meals on a budget!🙏🏼❤️🫶
Love your videos, great to see how you actually transform the ingredients into fantastic dishes 😃👍
Love your videos for ideas and techniques keep on making 👍😃
I feel like this particular men you could be a little lower carb and a little higher protein and I love how much vegetables and stuff you bought the growing things department the avocados the onions tomatoes mixed veggies bananas that's awesome👍
U need sauce for noodles
It's nice see other ways with no kids running around to cook in depth
thank goodness for food pantries. today there was a fruit and veggie only drive thru
Thank you so much for sharing this video, I love the comparison you did regarding cost then vs now and especially how you showed what was left over and what you might buy, like beans the following week. I would love to see a part 2 of this video with your creativity and the left overs combined with another $18 week. I know, wishful thinking but your videos are such a source of enjoyment and inspiration. Ty again for your efforts, and ideas.
What great ideas! Thank you
I really appreciated the disappearance of rice and beans! I can't eat legumes (excruciating migraines) so I get fed up when it seems that every low-cost meal blog is beans beans beans.
If I had enough money I would certainly surprise you with a new mattress. Those Helix mattresses come to your door in a box and then inflate and are supposed to be GREAT Maybe someone out there could do that.
Wow, your grocery prices are soooooooo cheap. Canada is crazy. Avacados are 2.99 each canadian, butter over $6. pound, peanut butter about $5 ish
That's how to do it.
I am blown away! I can't wait to try the vast majority of these recipes!
Wow…just shows you how good we had it under Trump and how corrupt Washington DC is. If you can't see it you are NOT PAYING ATTENTION. It WILL get worse if we continue to vote losers, fraudsters ….Democrats are NOT Democrats anymore, they have been HIJACKED …..SOROS
I'm new here. Are you vegetarian or was meat omitted to stay within the budget?
Hey Lisa…I bake avocado halves…score the flesh ,keep peel on the half, sprinkle with garlic, salt n pepp…bake at 400 for 15-18 min, eat along side a fried egg…great calories, protein and absolutely delish! *if I have any leftover parmasean, I add that to the top before I bake.
Where's the beef?
Where the heck do you shop? I haven't paid 29cents a can for anything in _decades_. Wanna save $40? Don't buy a rice cooker because any pot with a lid works just fine. How many eggs do you slice a week? Seriously. And there is no greater waste of $$ than buying an instapot. I'd cut back on most of your appliances and buy better foods.
Wow…… Biden said there was hardly ANY inflation…😅
Love your videos!
I wish I had a green thumb. I tried herbs and basil which everyone says is extremes easy. I killed mine. I don’t even know how or why but it was sad.
Your prices aren’t as high as ours for Aldi. We are in Ga
Thank you for showing the difference in prices of individual items! It seems like a few cents wouldn’t make a difference but it really does. Your videos are so important and helpful especially in the current economy
Wow no meat😢
Good job! I’m amazed! I guess I would like a little more protein. Btw I have fed my family super cheaply by starting with a turkey and after cooking it I have enough for 2 weeks. To feed 2 kids and an adult. I make pot pie, enchiladas, casseroles, sandwiches, soup with dumplings, tacos. Etc.
Thank you Lisa Dawn. I enjoy learning different things.
Thank you for sharing the little mistakes you make and how you recover from them. You have such facility in the kitchen. I learn from each technique I see on your channel.
Really cheap there compared to here Nl , Canada a loaf of bread is over 5dollars, eggs are over 5 dollars also everything is expensive
Though prices did go up I can still shop at Aldi spending less than I would at other stores.
It wasn't that long ago that Aldi's eggs were almost $4 per dozen. And just two years ago I was paying $0.39 per dozen. Thanks, Lisa for the hope your videos provide! ❤
I cook every day for myself, because it's healthy and saves money; this is very inspiring, thank you!
Everything you bought…as of today will cost me about $33.+.Tomato sauce is 1.27…avocado is 1.25…peanut butter is 6$ eggs is 2.99 on sale and 3.59 regular price.
Just thought I would tell you.
Thanks and take care…
I found your video to be very timely and interesting! Kudos for your easy, and easily modified (to individual tastes), recipes!
Maybe it's just me ,a senior also with health conditions living on a very small budget , but I really don't understand why older folks who have already lived through several economic downturns/inflation aren't better prepared to meet them.
I live in one of the most expensive states in the lower 48, and even I can eat very enjoyably , without depriving myself of "treat" foods, on $60. or less (usually much less) per month. How? I have a freezer, which I bought second hand 15 years ago, learned to cook from scratch and can., and grow small amounts of veggies/herbs on my windowsills and porch.
This allows me to take full advantage of grocery/meat/vegetable sales on items I like.
I love fresh basil. I just grow it on my kitchen windowsill.
