I’m doing an extreme grocery budget challenge where I’ll be spending one dollar on food to eat for the entire day. In this frugal …
You are on another level when it comes to cooking truly frugal, AND tasty food! I’m forever returning to your videos to approach budget shopping. Thank you!
👍👍👍👍
I always enjoy your challenges. $1.00/day is almost impossible these days. Thank you for showing us how it can be done. Willette
That is a fantastic store. I find that the ethnic origin stores have so much choice at reasonable prices. Their spice aisles are usually incredible.
🧡
The Woden spoon is a hit for soups! Nice dishes
Incredible you❤️
👍
I just kept thinking "where is the spatula?" If this is all I get to eat, I must eat every single drop 🙂
Could you do a video where you eat for $2 or $3 a day? I would love to see what you could do with that.
Very inspiring 🤗 thank you
Love you!! Michelle, you are the best frugal chef, I'm not in California so I don't have the same Great deals!! Please do 2 videos using Walmart and Dollar Tree. I love veggie foods and make the best Asian Chinese foods.
Well done!
I need to learn to use such spices in my dishes. I guess it's trial and error sometimes.
If you did $2.00 – $3.00 a day…do you think you could get some meat in your dishes?
Interesting meals. But wow the amount of produce in that store!
Wow! You always amaze me. Those meals looked outstanding! I love how you make all the food look beautiful too. These challenges encourage me in inflationary times. ❤
Really enjoy your creativity on these challenges! Would also love more barley recipes please <3
Peruano beans are great. They get insanely creamy. I just make them with a little kosher salt and a bay leaf.
Looks like a lot to me for a dollar. Barley is yummy. Meals looked good.
Dollar a day budget challenges are easier by the month, or even year, to get bulk bargains. But for just one day, you nailed it!
looked delious.
I love how "gourmet" your meals are with such such tiny amounts!
I think you will really love the barley. You can also make a barely casserole. With veggies. Its wonderful for vegan dishes. Red lentils are awesome as well. As for the 12 Bean 13 Bean whatever soup. Lol. I've made it before with a bunch of different veggies. It actually comes out really good. The smaller beans like lentils especially the red ones cook so much in it they contribute to the broth tasting awesome and thickening it a little bit they just kind of dissolve. But it is good. I bought bags of it that come with that bag of horrible seasoning with fake crap in it. I throw away the seasoning, and just make a soup. I love that story you're going to I wish I had one like that here in Vermont. Best to you. Thank you for the insightful videos
👀👍
Overcooked red lentils make an amazing creamy soup!! I accidentally overcooked them one time and was like …what do I do know…I just added a little extra water/broth and blended them with an immersion blender and it made the best soup!
You’re so creative!!! Do you think you could try this $1 a day adventure without using any beans/lentils/legumes?
One of my favorite soups growing up was a beef and barley. I believe Campbell's offered it in the can, but often my mother would make it and add carrots and onions, I believe.
Not I goggled Indian supermarket near me and it’s 1 hour away In a different state. I need to find a different culture market closer 😫
I really want to try the barley soup!
I hollered when I saw the green beans but you made it work. ❤. As I continued watching I realized that this is very helpful for me as a gardener. I have a small personal garden and my harvest are small to minimal. Your idea gave me inspiration on how to prepare a tasty meal.
Impossible in NY:(((
you could have made a wraps out of the red lentels..just soke the lentels in a double amount of warm water(as dry lentels) for four hours..put everything through your blender..and put some salt (half a teaspoon for 200grams of dry lentels)and herbs or spices through the mix..then fry in a non stick pan without oil or lightly sprayed on medium heat.. I would have filled the wraps with cubes of raw tomato, bits of the green beans and small cubes of fried potato all again with some herbs or spices and maybe a couple of drips of homemade spice oil from dry chiliflakes or peppr corns and other spices you heat up in a dry pan..and then heat some oil seperately..put the spices in bowl of heat…let them soak together and put through a strainer..drip some on it
Thank you for the new video! I love all of your ideas. You can make Bean and Barley Burgers by mixing cooked beans and cooked barley together and mashing it up a bit and then frying them like hamburgers. I usually add some chopped green onion to mine and top it with a slice of cheese if I have some. You could add chopped mushrooms to the mix or other veggies if you want. Some people also add a egg or flour to the mix to give it a different texture.
Thank you for the shopping haul, the creative tasty meal planning for a dollar a day, and the relaxed music selections 😊
I have several sets of those Walmart utensils. My mom didn't like metal utensils. Just be aware that they cannot withstand high temperatures. If you use a dishwasher, do not put them downward. And do not use them to stir something hot, like coffee. 🙂
Your creativity and frugality with food is an art form! I love these videos.
You should try making a guacamole and buy a bag of corn tortillas and a bag of pork rinds and make a taco out of it. It's so good
Amazing! Your posts always inspire me and so helpful to motivate my stay on budget goals. Can’t wait to see next food vid 💥
Wow, I grew up in Southern Caand greatly miss Persian markets. However, never saw one that beautiful and huge in my life! Omg, I'm totally jealous.
Yay another video from my favorite SoCal gal 🤩🥳🥰 Lots of yummy ideas! Thanks! 💕
Pearl barley with hamburger makes a delicious soup.
I would love to see a pantry challenge, where you just shop your own pantry and freezer, to help us figure out what we should keep in our pantry for emergencies.
Wow that was great Michelle!
Just wondering do you have a small place to grow a few green onions? if so are you familiar with Egyptian walking onions? I have lots of bulbs and I would be happy to send you some. You’ll never be without onions again. Look them up and see if you’re interested.
Have you considered the cost of gas/electricity required to cook small amounts of food frequently?
