    Dollar General has pineapple chunks and slices in juice on sale right now. Dollar Tree usually has reusable pie pans. Imperial margarine usually costs the same for twice as much at nearly every grocery store. Just a heads up for others 🙂

    Trick to pumpkin pie..yes use the sweetened condensed milk, but use 3 eggs however 1 whole egg and 2 egg yolks. A lot of times pumpkin pies will crack or split on the top and that is due to the egg whites. So taking them out solves that problem and the egg yolks, especially an attractive one will make it more custardy and richer flavor! Then you cook at 425 for 15 min. Then lower it to 375 for another 30-35 min. As far as crust goes I personally think the store bought rolled crusts are just as good if not better than homemade. I’m guessing dollar tree doesn’t have those though.

    Fantastic video! I have never seen mashed potatoes from French fries but definitely going to try that! When your 66 and hands don't work the way they used too its great to have shortcuts in cooking. Everything looks delicious 😋 You have a great Thanksgiving with family and friends! God Bless! 😊

    I love this. But as you’ve said before sometimes things are cheaper elsewhere. Chicken broth was a dollar at Walmart. But the way you made this I think I’ll give it a go!

    Team Smooth and Creamy, but it also needs some gravy. Thanksgiving is nothing with out gravy, because you pour it all over your potatoes, and your stuffing and your meat 😀 I won't be having thanksgiving this year, so this was a nice treat to watch 😀 Thank you for your video and ideas on how to make a less expensive thanksgiving/christmas meal. To me, christmas is just a repeat of thanksgiving, although, I would make turkey on thanksgiving and ham on christmas. thanks again! #smooth&creamy
    Edit: $75 usually buys you just your turkey, or ham. That is awesome that you were able to make THAT much food on $75. And feeding a lot of people at the same time. People would be full coming from your dollar tree thanksgiving, that is for sure.

    Rebecca, you don’t give yourself near enough credit. This was a great episode. Your pie turned out beautiful and the roses were such a great idea. Thank you for sharing with us.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. That was a very delightful video. I wouldn't have thought about some of ideas. I use kitchen scissors to cut my bread for the stuffing and I have never heard of putting egg and stuffing before. I'm so glad everything turned out so well.

    Use your at home cold brew method all the time!
    Been hoteling. I do get a meal allowance, but sometimes a nourishing meal to take to bed and unwind is what’s needed.
    I start making “cold brew” coffee drink soon after check-in 😉

    A lot of hotels are near a “Dollarama” or market. The “stew” recipe with tweaks is a fav (instant potato base). I do make your breakfast wraps, b4 home departure. Your creativity has enhanced my mobile experience.
    The dinner rolls I will definitely try.

    I like instant dressing too! (I have used the packet to season ground meat loaf – that’s it). I love that you added some lovely comments about your Mom 🩷
    Happy Thanksgiving X
