▶️ Check out the blog post for a complete list of everything we bought: bit.ly/KrocksDollarHaul ▶️ We have a few more videos planned for this “Plant-Based On A Budget” series, so let us know what you want to see in the comments!
Forever Knight was the absolute best vampire based series! Criminally underrated. The dvd series was only released in limited run when the fans petitioned it, had to spend a ton for the complete set.
Thanks so much for the inspiration. We went to dollar tree today and were amazed at all the fruits and veggies. Also great selection of craft supplies and I got some tea tree oil vath salt and lotion. You guys are great! What I like is that you are so real! Thank you for sharing so much about yourselves.
Great idea for series...we also have a store called 99 cent stores and they have organic veggies fresh and frozen when lucky enough to find them! Look forward to the week of $1 store eats.
Looks like my dollar tree hauls! Love the freeze dried peaches. Hard to find. But soo tasty. Thank you for sharing. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with it all.
LOVE those spring Rolls! When we find them, we will buy 5 packages! Usually have them like once a month. Only air fry 5, 2 for my hubby and 3 for me! I like to dip mine into Trader Joe's sweet chili sauce. YUM!
This is awesome! So many people r struggling financially during this pandemic & this will help. I’m curious to see what Brian will come up with to put on those rice cakes! I used to eat them years ago, but totally forgot abt them until now. I want to put a THIN layer of mashed avocado on mine, when I buy them, which will b soon. Not the best choice of topping probably, but it’s the first thing I thought abt when u showed them. Lol. Also, a word of caution... my grocery cart full of plant based food was swiped behind my back when I was at Walmart 2 days ago & the clerks searched the whole store & never found it... so u kno what I’m going to say... don’t leave Peef unattended! Lol.
Wow! I pretty much ignore my Dollar Tree freezer section. When I go back I'll definitely be looking. I can't wait for your taste testing and other Plant-Based On A Budget videos.
I keep frozen bags of fruit in the freezer for oatmeal. I cube up 1/2 a banana and add a couple scoops of frozen mixed berries from the bag and cook it all with some water in the microwave for about a minute & a half ... then stir and cook another minute and a half. top with crushed mixed nuts. So delicious & healthy.
I never would have thought of dollar tree as a place for all these great finds! I usually go there for Denta Sticks for my dog and paper and cleaning products. Thanks so much for showing me what gems I might find in the food department. I can't wait to see what dishes you guys come up with. I know it'll be inspiring. Now, off to my local Dollar Tree to see what I can find! :-)
I live in a smaller city, no Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. I always start at Aldi, and fill in from other grocery stores. We do have 2 Dollar Trees, as well as an independent dollar store, a small Mennonite run store, a Big Lots, and a small farmer's market in the summer. I have found amazing finds in unexpected places, as well as clearance bins in the bigger grocery stores. I never stop looking for deals! I'm not completely whole foods plant based, but I lean hard in that direction. I find your channel very inspiring and smart. Keep at it, and thanks for your consistent hard work!!
One of my favorite places to shop. I've also at times gotten yellow split peas, dried garbanzo beans, and roasted red peppers in a jar. Love your haul! Love your videos!
I love the salt free seasining and keep it stocked in the house. Thank you so much for this video. I like the Dollar Tree for other items. Good to add WFPB itema to that list.😊
Amazing videos! Can you do a zero waste whole food lifestyle! Like shopping only produce sections and bulk section shopping with reusable containers! You can find beans, rice, oats, nuts, fruits, veggie. Show you never need to buy something in single use plastic. Thanks for everything! - Gareth your huge fan!
I've gone to the Dollar Tree many times but never even looked at the frozen foods until I saw your video. I got the bowls too (I actually did need them). I've now gained a renewed appreciation for the store. Thanks for the motivation and helping me in my "adventure" too. : )
Lots of great stuff, looking forward to more videos like this 😊 Wow, Forever Knight! I bought my husband these years and years ago on dvd for a lot more than a dollar! Excellent haul!
I love your budget friendly theme! Couple things to keep in mind: Non-organic oats are soaked in Roundup pesticide usually. I try to stick to organic only for that reason. Also, I try to limit foods that are sourced from China. Not the best regulations and food safety with food coming from there. I was surprised the last time I did a Dollar Tree haul to find many of their items are from the USA. Not all of them, but many. Thanks for the great video!
I'd love to see a comparison of cost per pound of some of these things. I find that Dollar Tree is often more expensive if you evaluate the true cost per ounce or per pound.
I have several ceramic dishes from DT and they are some of my favorite dishes that I use all the time. One is a big soup mug/bowl with a handle that I use not all kinds of food not just soup.
This is a great idea to get people to see just how inexpensive eating WFPB can be. I always look forward to your videos for too many reasons to name in one comment. I was shocked when I transformed to my nutritious life (4 years ago) that my first months shopping bill dropped by 40%. Meat and dairy are so expensive! Especially since I ate more meat than veg. I also spent less on meds since I didn't have to take so many. Cheers!
Ok, so I know it was 6 months ago but I loved the pre intro! “I’d buy that for a dollar!” Love the Robocop reference! Liked video witching first three seconds! Not that the rest of the video wasn’t good or filled with great info, but that just spoke to my soul!
Wow, what a nice haul at your Dollar Tree store. I will have to check ours out if we have all those options. Great price too. Looking forward to your upcoming videos on budget series and also how you liked these foods compared to food from other locations!. Thanks so much for all the hard work.
I am so happy that you are doing videos of eating healthy on a budget because some people say eating healthy is too expensive and I think it really doesn't have to be.
I knew Dollar Tree carried some of those things, but that is quite a haul! I have one just 5 blocks from me so I'll be going there soon. And I loved the show Forever Knight! Now I'm going to be checking all the bargain bin places for those videos.
The Dollar Tree that you went to must be a super sized. The stores near me are much smaller and have fewer items and many of the larger Dollar Tree stores do not carry any refrigerated/frozen foods. You are lucky to have that resource available.
Those spring rolls are krack!!! I like the peppers and onions mix, frozen fruit is generally ok and the frozen veggie can be a bit iffy I think. I am curious about the carrots and mango. Great vid and looking forward to more!
This was fun. I look forward to seeing what you think about the quality compared to your non-Dollar Tree items and how the prices on some of the stuff compares. That reminds me. Did you ever chop those no-cry onions from your other haul? The suspense!! Finally, I’ve also done that thing where I buy rice cakes and tell myself I’ll eat them when I want something crunchy. Each time I rediscover how inedible and dissatisfying they are.
Wow Im impressed with the cost! excellent. Looking forward to the review of the frozen food you bought at the dollar store. Sometimes the frozen veggies fall very short.
Thank you for doing this I live in a small town, but we do have a Dollar Tree and am just starting "Vegan" And I hope that ours has a lot of these! I can't wait to see more like these I can't believe you found the DVD Forever Night I loved this Again, our store never has this good! :'( I would love to find that DVD These are cute bowls too
This was really fun! I was stunned too when I went to my local Dollar Tree and found so much of the things yoi featured. I must say some of the frozen veg was bit disappointing, I think I literally threw out a whole bag of something when I opened it because it was so gross looking, I think the pepper blend, but so much of it was just fine and quite the bargain, especially the spices!
Other than concerns around the quality of the food I've found at dollar stores, the other thing I've noticed is the package sizes are smaller. So for example, it's a smaller package for $1 but at a normal supermarket, you can find a bigger/normal size package for $1.25 or something, which ends up being cheaper. Or at least in Canada, the food options are super sketchy looking (improperly sealed packages is the main issue I saw) or smaller sized packages. And also, things at our dollar stores are very rarely actually only a dollar... So I've never actually bought any food at a dollar store other than a chocolate bar or something
@Peter Rabbit haha ya, the candy wasn’t recent for sure... but also I’ll take a well-sealed chocolate of a known brand over a possibly expired bag of beans with holes in it any day...
I enjoyed this. Great information, and also nice to see you. Hey guys, maybe try growing your own herbs. Just start with one. They are great on the windowsill. Dill, parsley, chives.
The best I have is a small Click & Grow on my desk growing dill. We don't get any decent amount of light in our apartment to actually grow things. On a good day, we get about 30 minutes of actual light. Once we get a house or a better apartment, I am totally going to grow my own herbs. 😀
This was a great idea! I didn’t like a couple of the frozen veggies (peas and the winter blend of cauliflower/broccoli) so far, so I would just try a little and see. I have tried many of the non frozen items and like them.
Great inspiration for meals on a budget. In Sweden we do not have your stores and everything here is way more expensive. Nevertheless I can look for some of the items you bought. It will be very helpful with some videos in whick you prepare some meals with the ingredients. Simplicity is one of the key to success. Back to basics! Thank you for everything you do and thank you for being you! ❤️
Thank you so much for doing this series. I go to dollar tree but haven't taken the time to check everything. I just assumed it all to be unhealthy. I'm looking forward to the comparison. This is going to really benefit me since I live on a fixed income.
Omg. I luved forever knight. I use the blueberries in my oatmeal all the time. They're better than aldi. Sometimes they are small and other times they are large berries. Don't know why.

I saw what you bought. I want to know if it was good/bad or indifferent when you used it. You said you'd make a post about it. Did you? If so where?
I'm soooo excited that you're doing this budget-friendly series! I can't wait to find out what you make with all these Dollar Tree food items. 🤟
Great idea you two 👍❤️
“I’ll get out my clip board and make a chart!!” Love this. I can’t wait for the price comparison chart.
Me either. Because I know some of those items are cheaper at Walmart but some are cheaper at the DT. The beans and rice are a good deal.
Just proves one can find whole food options regardless of their location or budget! Nice video!
That's what we were aiming for. Thank you, Kim! 😀

Those vegan spring rolls are the bomb for a buck!!
I buy the blueberries all the time & I'm always happy with them.
Looks like my dollar tree hauls! Love the freeze dried peaches. Hard to find. But soo tasty. Thank you for sharing. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with it all.
Plant based on a budget is a great idea!!

We don't have Dollar Tree in Australia but I love grocery store adventures!
This was a fun one! 😁
I wish my Dollar Tree had a frozen food section, but it’s small. Good for you guys!
I loved Forever Knight! I didn't know that it was on DVD. Great find!
Yeah, I was shocked to find it there. 😀
This is awesome! So many people r struggling financially during this pandemic & this will help. I’m curious to see what Brian will come up with to put on those rice cakes!

In the name of this "pandemic" our rights and freedoms were taken away. 😔
I love Dollar Tree’s frozen mango! I actually prefer it over other brands
Wow! I pretty much ignore my Dollar Tree freezer section. When I go back I'll definitely be looking. I can't wait for your taste testing and other Plant-Based On A Budget videos.
I keep frozen bags of fruit in the freezer for oatmeal.

We love those Jennifer's Garden spring rolls too! Such a good and tasty deal!

This was amazing! Thankyou for doing all the WORK for us!! I never would have guessed and now I will go to dollar store with my list!!!

That is a huge, impressive Dollar Tree!
One of my favorite places to shop. I've also at times gotten yellow split peas, dried garbanzo beans, and roasted red peppers in a jar. Love your haul! Love your videos!
Super duper great idea!!! Thank you so much! My husband has ALS and so our food budget is soooooo tight. I can't wait!
What a decent,thoughtful thing to do!!
Love the idea of a week of Dollar Tree meals.
I love those spring rolls there my go to for work potlucks..perfect
I love the salt free seasining and keep it stocked in the house. Thank you so much for this video. I like the Dollar Tree for other items. Good to add WFPB itema to that list.😊

Amazing! I've never been a A Dollar Store or Tree or General and certainly didn't know they carried food! Wow!
I've gone to the Dollar Tree many times but never even looked at the frozen foods until I saw your video. I got the bowls too (I actually did need them). I've now gained a renewed appreciation for the store. Thanks for the motivation and helping me in my "adventure" too. : )

Yes! Robocop! one of the classics! "I'll buy that for a dollar."

Miranda at Running on Plants has a great series on Plant-based on a budget!
They (spring rolls ) are awesome. Perfect for Chinese New Year
We found the Spring Rolls and ate them with a stir-fry tonight 😋😋
This is a great idea to get people to see just how inexpensive eating WFPB can be. I always look forward to your videos for too many reasons to name in one comment.

Thanks for the encouragement and information.

Well done!! Looking forward to seeing the next video.
Wow, what a nice haul at your Dollar Tree store. I will have to check ours out if we have all those options. Great price too. Looking forward to your upcoming videos on budget series and also how you liked these foods compared to food from other locations!. Thanks so much for all the hard work.
Loving Brian's breakfast sandwich. It's my new obsession and I drizzle mine with a tiny bit of PB2. Delicious!
Try the PB2 on a rice cracker maybe with a touch of jelly or maybe a little date paste.
Frozen whole green beans are great. we don't have Dollar tree but I buy it in Aldi. Good for your bean recipe
I rice my own cauliflower from fresh
This was a great video. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
You both make my day happier ❤️
I am so happy that you are doing videos of eating healthy on a budget because some people say eating healthy is too expensive and I think it really doesn't have to be.

I'd like to see the quick frozen dinners that you recommend. My problem is time and energy so I need quick but yet healthy
They also have roasted seaweed snack, 3 portions to a bag for a dollar! those are really good!
I love those rice cakes! I buy 3 or 4 at a time when I see them. The veggie spring rolls are great in the air fryer.
Wow Im impressed with the cost! excellent. Looking forward to the review of the frozen food you bought at the dollar store. Sometimes the frozen veggies fall very short.
This is awesome! I’m going to have to check out what my Dollar Tree has. Thanks for sharing and excited for the one week video.
I love "Forever Knight"! Nick Knight, Lucien LaCroix, Janette DuCharme! That and "Highlander The Series".
You can never go wrong with Highlander! The series or the movies! 😀
Haha I loved the Forever Knight series ! And loved all of this video! Great find!
It was a good show. I told Jessica I am going to make her watch it. 😀
I love their frozen stir fry veggie mix and the spring rolls. I also HAVE to have that salt free seasoning stocked at all times
Freeze dried fruits are some of my favorite snacks! I have to check my dollar tree!
Thank you for doing this I live in a small town, but we do have a Dollar Tree and am just starting "Vegan" And I hope that ours has a lot of these! I can't wait to see more like these I can't believe you found the DVD Forever Night I loved this Again, our store never has this good! :'( I would love to find that DVD These are cute bowls too
The spring rolls are so good. What a great haul :)
That is the best dollar tree. I go there all the time.
Finally! Thank you

When you come back from your break, please do another budget video!
LOVED this episode and can't wait to see the recipes you made from it
Great video! Thanks for sharing your haul! Hi PEEF!
This is great. Would love an Aldi haul.
They had one a few weeks ago. Jessica went to three different grocery stores, but she stopped at Aldi first because they're the most budget friendly.
@@KellyS_77 I saw the video shortly after making this post. Thank you!

I eat those rice cakes. I really like them. Not every Dollar Tree in my area has them though,
im so exciteddd!!!! im making a list and going to my dollar tree and starting this Sunday I am also doing this for a week!
Fun video. Look forward to the results of your challenge.

those brown rice cakes are legit 100% delicious.
Thanks Krocks! What a great day!
This is nice. I live in a small town with limited food shopping, but we do have a Dollar Tree!
Our dollar tree on the outskirts of Seattle always looks like a war zone haha. Yours looks nice!
I LOVED that show!

You're very welcome!😀
Love this video!! Hope we can see what you create with the ingredients.🇨🇦
Omg. I luved forever knight. I use the blueberries in my oatmeal all the time. They're better than aldi. Sometimes they are small and other times they are large berries. Don't know why.
Great video ilovet thanks for sharing.
Cool challenge Jessica! We love the Tree!!!
