I love the premise of this video. Just because the dollar tree may be the only place a family can afford to buy groceries doesn't mean they don't have the right to care about the foods that they are putting in their bodies. Everyone deserves dignity and respect, no matter where you shop.
I just love how you include Rose in your videos, and how you reassure her of your love by a little kiss here and there, that is so special to me. She is definitely a daddy's girl. God Bless you and your family.
As someone who has eaten the fish from DT on multiple occasions, it tastes just fine. Videos like this aren't just important for those on a budget, many people live in food deserts. They don't have access to traditional grocery stores, they have access to dollar stores. Normalizing the consumption of food from places like the DT is incredibly important, especially with how many people are facing unemployment. Shopping in bulk is more cost effective but sometimes you literally only have $5 to spend.
@@joannmaddalena1084 and you may want to look up a) the definition of a food desert b) the geographical distribution of those grocery stores, and c) the academic articles that back up my comment.
Avoiding products from China, but not really shopping right now. But I do love the Dt. Those tongs lasted one cooking session, the heat makes them come unglued. There knife s are sharp tho.
I want to thank you for doing the videos you do. I’m almost 60 and have completely changed my way of eating about 1 year ago. However I was finding it very confusing at first but your videos sure do help me! I just wish all the info was available when I was raising my kids. By the way I just love your little Rose. You 2 are great parents!
I hope that one of the many things we learn from this pandemic is that we MUST return to being more self sufficient and maintain our resources and supplies. And maybe learn how to treat one another better. ✌🏻💕🇺🇸
I literally had already checked through in the check out line when the woman behind me said she had gotten the product and it had shards of glass in it! She probably was bs or didn't understand large grain salt but I had them take it off! I do shop at $1 stores but leery as I do it. But there are some great products in there. Good place for your can food back-ups! I used to get a great canned fish there that I fed to my cat and dogs. I tasted it and it was good and likely better than tuna! It even still had skins on and looked like fish! (Not sardines or anything but regular fish) ps. Can't find it anymore.
I really appreciate it that you take the time to shop where millions of unemployment or low income people depending on. I consider you a bible when it comes to groceries quality and nutrition so I will feel confident on my next trip to Dollar tree. Again Thank you!!
When I first saw that the 99¢ stores here in Los Angeles started selling fresh fruits and veggies I was happy because I know many families can only afford to shop at these discount stores will have access to healthy food.
Bobby and Rosie, thank you! I love that you added this. People need this. ( I'll repeat), people need this. You've truly have empowered people with this video. Much love ❤
I love seeing Rose Honey on your hip. She really does pay attention to what you say. She’s learning from two amazing teachers ❤️ stay blessed Bobby, Dessi and Rose 🌹
Thank you for ALL your fantastic videos you do for all of us. And, thank you to your beautiful daughter Rose, for always putting a smile on my face.....SO ADORABLE!!!!
I'm not negating that many are facing hard times, however with knowledge, one can eat very healthfully on a budget. Get a 95/lb whole chicken at Aldis' and eat from it for the week. I've done it.
CT Mom Exactly. People assume healthy= expensive/ organic. There are plenty of options, hope this opens the eyes of people that they can buy healthy on a budget even before this whole virus thing happened.

Great that you've reviewed this store for those of us who don't have easy access to the Sam's, Costco's & Aldi stores. I'm a health advocate/gardener& have been circulating you videos. The reality is that DT, Family Dollar, Dollar General items often play a big portion of folk's food shopping budget in urban areas. Now that I'm living in a smaller S. Arkansas town, I get my Coconut Oil, Himalayan Sea Salt, ACV, Garlic, Onion Powder, other spices w/o MSG, mustards & sometimes coconut milk from Dollar Tree. It's true, watching those product ingredients is key. Our DT here also stock the best frozen vegetables...a wonderful stir-fry mix w/ peppers & onions, broccoli mix, blueberries, carrots, etc. It's helpful for everyone's budget.
I m really happy you did a video of the dollar tree, I really enjoy your videos, its kinda hard buying the healthy foods you share being on a fixed income is hard but I manage being a diabetic thank you for your videos.....Rosie is a beautiful baby....thank you again
I wish my dollar tree had good things like that. There was one time I went to one a good bit further away and found these garlic bagel chips that a few days later I saw at Publix on sale 2 for 6 or something like that. You can find great things at the dollar store but also a lot of processed terrible junk. Still a good place to go when you are on a really tight budget and are just trying to make it through a tough time.
Thank you. I am a 70 year old retired nurse. I had massive dental work and was taking antibiotics for dental work since I had a heart problem as a child. I also was drinking tap water (chlorine), and swimming in chlorine, a year ago my symptoms started.

I come to say the same thing!!! I'm 35 and still have my daddy wrapped around my finger! On the flipside I'm around his too. I do things for him I never do for myself. #daddysgirlforever
The baby is SO sweet and so comfortable with you in your kitchen! What a great baby! You talked about SO much...thanks a lot! It is SO important for people on a budget to learn your ways! Keep up the GREAT work! Nightie Night, sweet baby!
I use that little jar of Coconut oil for rubbing on scalp and hair especially ends of hair. Rub on face, brows and lashes. Rub on legs after shaving once absorbed then I use lotion (from the Dollar Tree) Rub a light amount on face and more on throat!
Sweetie Rose has “ NATURAL SWEETNESS”😍 She is going to be an early talker...love the way you speak to her naturally and no goo goo ga ga 😂😂 Great vid as usual... I love the dried seaweed...my daughter introduced me to them. I can wipe out an entire bag by myself😋
please don't apologize for Rose grabbing the mike, there are two perfect sounds in the world, happy baby bab;e & toddler giggle fits they will lift your spirits and put a smile on your face no matter what as much as I love and appreciate the knowledge I gain from you, I wouldn't mind hearing from her more often! my kids are grown and off in college I really miss that sound
Thank you for the video. Dollar Tree has some great stuff I had sent an IG message on the Flav City page of something I found in my local Dollar Tree. Also have found great stuff at Big Lots like Epic Bone Broth $5 Epic Pork Rinds $2 The only problem with both stores is you might not find it all the time.
Another tip: For those of you who have EBT Amazon Fresh now accepts it on many great products and delivery is free. This is a blessings to many who have lost their jobs and have been on Unemployment, Cal Fresh or Government assistance. Thanks Bobby for all your awesome videos. I’ve learned so much in a short amount of time. 🙏🏾
I've been getting that Coconut Oil for years, Dollar Tree is my go-to for it, I've also bought the Apple cider vinegar as well, I was shocked that they had one that size for a $1 with 'The Mother". I always get my frozen fruit for my smoothies from their, the bags are a decent size and you just can't beat a dollar. :)
@@bonniegirl5138 I lost 30 pounds about 7 years ago using Apple Cider Vinegar without "The Mother", hadn't actually heard about it yet, so that's mot really a huge issue for me. Also it somehow made my fibroid pain way more bearable, something to do with the acidity I believe. I do tend to go for the ones with "The Mother", these days, just because of the health benefits as opposed to plain ACV. So use your own best judgement, what ever works for you. 😊
@@bonniegirl5138 I do still purchase it at Dollar Tree, if I don't get it in a larger bottle from Target where I work. I haven't has any adverse side effects.
@@SabrinaBree1 Interesting comment about the fibroid pain. I had a myomectomy but one fibroid could not be removed. I'll work harder at taking ACV. Thanks.
I'm in California and we have The .99 store and Dollar Tree. They are both great. However, Dollar Tree has some really good products. And a $ means a $ at Dollar Tree. 😀 thanks Bobby
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this! I was at the point where it was hard for me, because I do value your knowledge and time/effort to make these videos, but I was starting to feel like a very bad mom. There are many products that I buy because, although they are not 'best in class / buy all day long', they should still be classed as a 'good choice' and you normally say 'I would not buy this'. And with this video you have actually said 'although not the best, this is a great option and you would buy it.' This is so important to people like me who have to choose the couple items to really choose to buy Organic/Non-Gmo/Grass Fed-Finished and then what is OK to buy because, although not the best, they are an OK option. Your opinions here and this video have kinda restored my sanity back to not feeling like I needed to All or Nothing when it came to healthy / healthier options. Thank you again!
@@holdon2829 Why are you leaving such a negative comment to this person who was thanking Bobby for his help. Stop being so sour and learn to scroll please.
Bobby thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been waiting for you & your team to go somewhere that is truly budget friendly and realistic and you have just done it... at the perfect time, no less. ❤️❤️❤️
Loved the great scoop on DT's food items you give in this vid!!! I hit DT on the regular for craft items, inexpensive cards, etc, but rarely buy the food items, and I've never bothered to give the freezer/cold foods a glance, tbh. But wow, great scoop on the fish, and now I know what to BOL for, thanks!
With more than 6 million Americans facing unemployment...the dollar store and food pantries might be where our fellow Americans will have to shop. For those who have the option to pass on the fish from China, consider yourselves fortunate.
Because of the covid-19 shut down many will be out of work for a while , but are so many better healthier food options than the Dollar Tree! Try beans, rice, pasta, dried fruit, seeds, etc. At the grocery store, canned fish, sardines are much less than at the dollar store!
I appreciate the info! I stopped eating seaweed because of the (supposed) cancer causing ingredients. Thank you for setting the record straight! Baby Rose is precious, God bless!!!!!!
I loved all the info - I’m a big DT shopper, and now realize I’ve been doing some of the no-no’s. I’ve never noticed the frozen fish at our store, but now I’m going to look for it ! Rose was SO good, and adorable 😍
That baby is gonna grow up knowing all about the best foods to eat and the best foods to stay away from. She's going to be teaching grown adults like myself at the age of 5 lol great job dad! I love how you hold her while filming. She is learning so much from you just by hearing you talk about nutrition at such an early age.
Thank you for sharing this budget friendly recipe. Budgeting better with my groceries has been on my mind with the rising prices. This kind of video is very helpful for me and I am sure many other people right now. I try to budget best I can but I know I can always learn. I make cooking videos too so you know I’m making lots of food so every penny I can save on groceries counts. I hope that we can continue to learn from each other. Never stop learning and growing!
DT is nostalgia heaven for me. Love their giant pretzels, six to a pack, in the freezer section. They taste just like the ones I used to buy for 5 cents each from a Jewish street vendor when I was a kid in the 50's in NYC. Dollar Tree pretzels include the salt in separate packets, so you don't have to use them. I defrost in 10 minutes at room temperature, then warm them up, tear into large pieces and dip in mustard. Same ones cost several dollars at supermarkets. Also, their Luigi's real Italian ice is the same brand sold in supermarkets, and love that, too. Takes me back to my childhood. Lots of old fashion candy there, but I know better now than to eat it.
Thank you for this! I was there yesterday. Can't believe all the great stuff you found. They have great canned fire roasted tomatoes too and their coffee brown sugar scrub is amazing for your dry hands after so much hand sanitizing. 👊
Great haul Bobby! Dollar Tree often has brand names that are on close out. I honestly stopped using Coffee Mate (and all packaged creamers) thanks to your good info!
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge in how to look for the better ingredients in food Bobby. I really appreciate your time and dedication to upload this videos.
I just wanted to respectfully bring this to your attention, when I was at ALDI and looked at the frozen Wild Salmon that you had recommended in recent videos, I was shocked to see that it is from China as well and I would never purchase that product because I do not trust the quality. Thank you for all of the information that you provide to everyone for us to make better decisions for a healthy life!!!
Yes you are right I bought frozen salmon base on that aldi video when I went to cook it I saw it was a product of China. I am sure it was mistake good thing it was only $3.99 I think.
I never buy fish from Alaska anymore. Soooo upset Fukashima nuclear plant still leaking and will for decades to come into the Northwest Pacific Coast. Independent reports from the government's coming in that it is in their fishing Waters
The chicken and vegetable dumplings are really great. Made in the USA and very clean ingredients if anyone is curious. That is the only freezer item that I get at DT. Aldi has a better freezer selection and I’m fortunate to be able to shop there as well .
Thank you...I always love your videos...I love all the research that you do, because you save me so much time...and you're an awesome loving Dad... thank you, thank you, thank you for all your hard work...Mad love and peace...
I always didnt like vinegar but now im stuck on vinegar. Keto recipe make a regular pot roast. Before you put your roast n veggies in oven pour a few tbsps over it and cover the roast in cabbage leaves. Cook 3 hours the cabbage leaves and vinegar make it soft and succulent
Donna E You are so right. Buy America if you can afford it. Boycott China! Not because the virus came from there, but because they lied about it and this caused Americans as we'll as people of of other countries to be caught unaware of this killer and unable to protect themselves until it was too late.
The American government and big business sold out America years ago to China. America hardly has any food manufacturing companies or jobs here. Even the berries we eat are grown in Mexico but processed in the US "Driscoll". Check the labels, almost nothing is from America. They label it US to keep people buying it but it's not grown on US soil. You have to grow your own or go to local farmer's markets. The US companies has facilities and their corporate offices on US soil but the products are sometimes from international countries. They have contracts with the farmers there.
I will do without rather than buy anything from China especially the fish. I won't buy fish from Trader Joe's either because it comes from polluted Asian waters.
Another great vid!💗 I’m not buying from DT or supporting China any longer, but it’s perfectly easy to make these healthy purchases from local supermarkets👍🏻 I totally get that some people have no choice but to buy from DT, and I’m sorry☹️ but at least this gives some healthy choices when ur that strapped for cash.
Thanks for this. I went to Dollar Tree yesterday to get some one pound bags of Salt 84’s pink Himalayan salt before the store changes to Dollar Tree and More with some higher prices. I usually avoid the foods but recently started getting the salt and black peppercorn in grinder. With so many folks out of work, it’s nice to see there are make-do, not absolutely terrible food options!☺️
I do shop Dollar Tree, mostly for cleaning items, office supplies, gift wrap/cards and a few food items. I will not purchase foods sourced from/through China, or South America, due to concerns over farming and preserving practices. I was surprised that you didn't get the following: dried 16 oz black beans and red kidney beans, 24 oz dried pintos, no salt garlic and herb seasoning (mimics Mrs Dash), 20 oz mustard. The 10 oz TJ Farms fzn blueberries are also a bargain, you referenced them, didn't have them. 18 oz oats are also sold there (I am picky, however, and source mine in the 42 oz canister at WF-organic ones), lb bags of both brown and white rice, flour tortillas, 28 oz cans of tomato sauce/puree, 24 oz boxes of pasta. Mine carries medium eggs only. The egg count varies, as egg prices fluctuate, Can be 12, 8, or just 6. I always do the math to compare against other stores, such as the Aldi's next door.
Glad I scrolled through the comments before posting or I would have mentioned the same stuff you did. The only thing I didn't notice you mentioning is the pizza sauce. They have one (forget name unfortunately) that's made with extra virgin olive oil and very tiny pieces of tomato that really makes your pizza taste like something special. - Also, with so many people cooking and freezing stuff I'm surprised he didn't mention plastic containers. They have ever size you'll probably ever need. And at 4/$1 that's a damn good deal.
Dollar Tree is my JAM!!! i love their fruit & nut packs for road trips. Bobby thanx for the deets on the Russell Stover 'sugar-free' chocolates! i have them in the fridge and thought what a brilliant cheat..now they're going to the trash. 👍🍫😵
He's not advocating shopping there - he's responding to all the comments on other shopping hauls that people didn't have the money to buy things he chose.
Compare this to to the early 90s or even 2000s. All the frozen vegetables, cauliflower rice, coconut well you watched the video. Back in the day or even five years ago it was all junk food and 90 percent junk food and no healthy options. It goes to show the power of keto and modern people realizing this super junk food give you diabetes. I can't imagine in another five years what they will have
My stepmom is convinced that canola oil is good for you. 😭Meanwhile, I grew up when she wasn't around being told that extra virgin olive and organic coconut oil were at the time then I learned about grapeseed oil. She is convinced that she is right about everything, when I look at my parents though I see all the processed food taking a toll on their faces and bodies. Not that I'm perfect at it, more often not. I'm still like...if only they had food education.
I don't know that I would trust that the fish was actually wild. China has been known to swap out their farmed raised fish with the wild that we send them to process. : /
I also have to tell you that the vinegar apple cider vinegar with the mother in the bottom of it is good to soak when you warm it up to swipe it not heat it just get it a little warm and soak your feet in it for 45 minutes along with a tablespoon of baking soda and some warm water and you'll take care of your foot fungus
@FlavCity with Bobby Parrish couldn't appreciate the information and videos y'all put out any more than I do already! I look forward to your videos weekly. I couldn't help but notice your "millions of peaches, peaches for me" reference from P.U.S.A!!! LOL. Keep up the amazing work!!! 🤘
I’ve always been hesitant to purchase food at my dollar tree. In my city we don’t have access to whole foods, trader joe’s etc I will now feel more confident stopping by dollar tree. Thanks
I know this video is nearly a year old, but thank you for listening to your audience when it comes to budget grocery hauls. We are on a budget and we straddle the poverty line but we also want to be able to eat the best foods we can. For us, that has meant getting a monthly produce box that includes organics at a fraction of what I pay for them at any local grocer and making use of our local scratch and dent grocer which often has great deals on healthy foods. I just really appreciate that you are taking the time to do this and hope you'll continue to in the future.
I help care for a 17 year old with special needs who has never walked on her own. I've been with her since she was 4. Her Mom had a Tush Baby or something just like it, and we used it with her for SO long! She was literally 6 years old hanging off our hip. Obviously most people wouldn't need to use it that long but I highly recommend it. Kids get heavy, even babies!
I love the premise of this video. Just because the dollar tree may be the only place a family can afford to buy groceries doesn't mean they don't have the right to care about the foods that they are putting in their bodies. Everyone deserves dignity and respect, no matter where you shop.
Correct

The baby is SO sweet and so comfortable with you in your kitchen! What a great baby! You talked about SO much...thanks a lot! It is SO important for people on a budget to learn your ways! Keep up the GREAT work! Nightie Night, sweet baby!
I can't keep my eyes off Rose she's super cute and those cheeks.
she's a cutie
Such a cutie Pie....
I use that little jar of Coconut oil for rubbing on scalp and hair especially ends of hair. Rub on face, brows and lashes. Rub on legs after shaving once absorbed then I use lotion (from the Dollar Tree)
Rub a light amount on face and more on throat!
Sweetie Rose has “ NATURAL SWEETNESS”😍
She is going to be an early talker...love the way you speak to her naturally and no goo goo ga ga 😂😂
Great vid as usual... I love the dried seaweed...my daughter introduced me to them. I can wipe out an entire bag by myself😋
please don't apologize for Rose grabbing the mike, there are two perfect sounds in the world, happy baby bab;e & toddler giggle fits they will lift your spirits and put a smile on your face no matter what as much as I love and appreciate the knowledge I gain from you, I wouldn't mind hearing from her more often! my kids are grown and off in college I really miss that sound
Thank you for the video.
Dollar Tree has some great stuff I had sent an IG message on the Flav City page of something I found in my local Dollar Tree.
Also have found great stuff at Big Lots like
Epic Bone Broth $5
Epic Pork Rinds $2
The only problem with both stores is you might not find it all the time.
Another tip: For those of you who have EBT Amazon Fresh now accepts it on many great products and delivery is free. This is a blessings to many who have lost their jobs and have been on Unemployment, Cal Fresh or Government assistance. Thanks Bobby for all your awesome videos. I’ve learned so much in a short amount of time. 🙏🏾
I've been getting that Coconut Oil for years, Dollar Tree is my go-to for it, I've also bought the Apple cider vinegar as well, I was shocked that they had one that size for a $1 with 'The Mother". I always get my frozen fruit for my smoothies from their, the bags are a decent size and you just can't beat a dollar.
:)
Seriously how do you know it is really mother and not an additive to look like mother?
@@bonniegirl5138 I lost 30 pounds about 7 years ago using Apple Cider Vinegar without "The Mother", hadn't actually heard about it yet, so that's mot really a huge issue for me. Also it somehow made my fibroid pain way more bearable, something to do with the acidity I believe. I do tend to go for the ones with "The Mother", these days, just because of the health benefits as opposed to plain ACV. So use your own best judgement, what ever works for you. 😊
@@bonniegirl5138 I do still purchase it at Dollar Tree, if I don't get it in a larger bottle from Target where I work. I haven't has any adverse side effects.
@@SabrinaBree1 Interesting comment about the fibroid pain. I had a myomectomy but one fibroid could not be removed. I'll work harder at taking ACV. Thanks.
@@bonniegirl5138 Good Luck to you!🙏🙏😊
get the canned chicken too. A good pantry staple. Rose is so adorable. Thanks for sharing.
I'm in California and we have The .99 store and Dollar Tree. They are both great. However, Dollar Tree has some really good products. And a $ means a $ at Dollar Tree. 😀 thanks Bobby
I love the kisses in-between your teaching. Oh my word I have underestimated dollar tree during my dieting! TY
Christ is Risen! Happy Easter to everyone watching! 💕
Thx happy Easter to you too!
alway great to watch you so natural on video....multi-tasking and teaching at the same time...awesome
You are a great dad... so important to read ingredients... I’m trying to cut down on processed foods...
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this! I was at the point where it was hard for me, because I do value your knowledge and time/effort to make these videos, but I was starting to feel like a very bad mom. There are many products that I buy because, although they are not 'best in class / buy all day long', they should still be classed as a 'good choice' and you normally say 'I would not buy this'. And with this video you have actually said 'although not the best, this is a great option and you would buy it.' This is so important to people like me who have to choose the couple items to really choose to buy Organic/Non-Gmo/Grass Fed-Finished and then what is OK to buy because, although not the best, they are an OK option. Your opinions here and this video have kinda restored my sanity back to not feeling like I needed to All or Nothing when it came to healthy / healthier options. Thank you again!
Tammie Monahan are you serious? Get a grip
@@holdon2829 Why are you leaving such a negative comment to this person who was thanking Bobby for his help. Stop being so sour and learn to scroll please.
Thanks for the haul! Note you can't return at Dollar Tree but you can exchange just make sure you have reciept & items unopened. Happy Easter!
Very true....hang on to your reciept!!!
I wish you would do more of these types of videos. For those who must stick to budgets need this type of info.
Wow Amazing that’s why I love dollar tree. Usually haul groceries and essentials and even beauty hauls. It’s amazing.
Love Rose’s little seat! I will have to check out DT’s food aisle next time! I love DT!
Bobby thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been waiting for you & your team to go somewhere that is truly budget friendly and realistic and you have just done it... at the perfect time, no less. ❤️❤️❤️
Loved the great scoop on DT's food items you give in this vid!!! I hit DT on the regular for craft items, inexpensive cards, etc, but rarely buy the food items, and I've never bothered to give the freezer/cold foods a glance, tbh. But wow, great scoop on the fish, and now I know what to BOL for, thanks!
With more than 6 million Americans facing unemployment...the dollar store and food pantries might be where our fellow Americans will have to shop. For those who have the option to pass on the fish from China, consider yourselves fortunate.
well said! Which is why I say to go for it if thats ur only choice, tts still a good option!
Because of the covid-19 shut down many will be out of work for a while , but are so many better healthier food options than the Dollar Tree! Try beans, rice, pasta, dried fruit, seeds, etc. At the grocery store, canned fish, sardines are much less than at the dollar store!
Hey my friend you forgot to put the 1 in front of the 6. Yes it is 16m. God help us PLEASE!!!!
Lord have mercy! I been broke and fish from China or Vietnam have been a no. Thank you Bobby for giving people options.
Just 6 try 20!
I appreciate the info! I stopped eating seaweed because of the (supposed) cancer causing ingredients. Thank you for setting the record straight! Baby Rose is precious, God bless!!!!!!
Good morning! Rose is so cute! Happy Easter!
I loved all the info - I’m a big DT shopper, and now realize I’ve been doing some of the no-no’s. I’ve never noticed the frozen fish at our store, but now I’m going to look for it ! Rose was SO good, and adorable 😍
That baby is gonna grow up knowing all about the best foods to eat and the best foods to stay away from. She's going to be teaching grown adults like myself at the age of 5 lol great job dad! I love how you hold her while filming. She is learning so much from you just by hearing you talk about nutrition at such an early age.
Thank you for sharing this budget friendly recipe. Budgeting better with my groceries has been on my mind with the rising prices. This kind of video is very helpful for me and I am sure many other people right now. I try to budget best I can but I know I can always learn. I make cooking videos too so you know I’m making lots of food so every penny I can save on groceries counts. I hope that we can continue to learn from each other. Never stop learning and growing!
DT is nostalgia heaven for me. Love their giant pretzels, six to a pack, in the freezer section. They taste just like the ones I used to buy for 5 cents each from a Jewish street vendor when I was a kid in the 50's in NYC. Dollar Tree pretzels include the salt in separate packets, so you don't have to use them. I defrost in 10 minutes at room temperature, then warm them up, tear into large pieces and dip in mustard. Same ones cost several dollars at supermarkets. Also, their Luigi's real Italian ice is the same brand sold in supermarkets, and love that, too. Takes me back to my childhood. Lots of old fashion candy there, but I know better now than to eat it.
Good information on budget. Love the little baby seat for baby Rose. Great choices.
Thank you for this! I was there yesterday. Can't believe all the great stuff you found. They have great canned fire roasted tomatoes too and their coffee brown sugar scrub is amazing for your dry hands after so much hand sanitizing. 👊
Great haul Bobby! Dollar Tree often has brand names that are on close out.
I honestly stopped using Coffee Mate (and all packaged creamers) thanks to your good info!
Addicted to coffee mate... 🆘????
Hazelnut Coffee mate addict here 😞
Awwww.. hey Rose 🤗🤗🤗🤗!!! Thank you for this haul Bobby!! Congrats on over 1 million subscribers!!!
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge in how to look for the better ingredients in food Bobby.
I really appreciate your time and dedication to upload this videos.
You say you post something at bottom of this video. I can’t find the links or recipes. WHERE ARE THEY, PLEASE
I just wanted to respectfully bring this to your attention, when I was at ALDI and looked at the frozen Wild Salmon that you had recommended in recent videos, I was shocked to see that it is from China as well and I would never purchase that product because I do not trust the quality. Thank you for all of the information that you provide to everyone for us to make better decisions for a healthy life!!!
Yes you are right I bought frozen salmon base on that aldi video when I went to cook it I saw it was a product of China. I am sure it was mistake good thing it was only $3.99 I think.
Aldi products are tested and safe with higher standards than many higher priced brands.
@kenjohanson...Aldi's or DT, China is China!
I never buy fish from Alaska anymore. Soooo upset Fukashima nuclear plant still leaking and will for decades to come into the Northwest Pacific Coast. Independent reports from the government's coming in that it is in their fishing Waters
The chicken and vegetable dumplings are really great. Made in the USA and very clean ingredients if anyone is curious. That is the only freezer item that I get at DT. Aldi has a better freezer selection and I’m fortunate to be able to shop there as well .
I have that knife and love it, no problems, even went back and bought 3 more in case they stopped selling
Thank you...I always love your videos...I love all the research that you do, because you save me so much time...and you're an awesome loving Dad... thank you, thank you, thank you for all your hard work...Mad love and peace...
The brown rice cakes are a product of Bulgaria.
Rice cakes are a desert for the mouth, lol! I just don't them, my opinion only.
That Dollar Tree on Addison and Sacramento was my favorite when we lived on Addison and Laramie. Now im really enthused about going back. Thanks👍
Thank you so much bobby for all the food inspiration along with the facts that we need in order to be better shoppers!
I always didnt like vinegar but now im stuck on vinegar. Keto recipe make a regular pot roast. Before you put your roast n veggies in oven pour a few tbsps over it and cover the roast in cabbage leaves. Cook 3 hours the cabbage leaves and vinegar make it soft and succulent
People complain about “everything is made in China”, but overlook the fact that it’s our own damn fault, we keep buying all that crap from China.
Donna E You are so right. Buy America if you can afford it. Boycott China! Not because the virus came from there, but because they lied about it and this caused Americans as we'll as people of of other countries to be caught unaware of this killer and unable to protect themselves until it was too late.
True
The American government and big business sold out America years ago to China. America hardly has any food manufacturing companies or jobs here. Even the berries we eat are grown in Mexico but processed in the US "Driscoll". Check the labels, almost nothing is from America. They label it US to keep people buying it but it's not grown on US soil. You have to grow your own or go to local farmer's markets. The US companies has facilities and their corporate offices on US soil but the products are sometimes from international countries. They have contracts with the farmers there.
It’s kind of hard to find items not made in China. I hate it too. The quality/safety is questionable.
I will do without rather than buy anything from China especially the fish. I won't buy fish from Trader Joe's either because it comes from polluted Asian waters.
Rose is such a good baby. She was so relaxed during the video. It's good to see your love for her. That's great. Also, thanks for information.
I love that you did this video! Thank you so much for all y’all do!
Another great vid!💗 I’m not buying from DT or supporting China any longer, but it’s perfectly easy to make these healthy purchases from local supermarkets👍🏻 I totally get that some people have no choice but to buy from DT, and I’m sorry☹️ but at least this gives some healthy choices when ur that strapped for cash.
Time for everyone to be on a budget.
Facts 💯
Watch Dave ramsey!!!
Thanks for this. I went to Dollar Tree yesterday to get some one pound bags of Salt 84’s pink Himalayan salt before the store changes to Dollar Tree and More with some higher prices. I usually avoid the foods but recently started getting the salt and black peppercorn in grinder. With so many folks out of work, it’s nice to see there are make-do, not absolutely terrible food options!☺️
I do shop Dollar Tree, mostly for cleaning items, office supplies, gift wrap/cards and a few food items. I will not purchase foods sourced from/through China, or South America, due to concerns over farming and preserving practices. I was surprised that you didn't get the following: dried 16 oz black beans and red kidney beans, 24 oz dried pintos, no salt garlic and herb seasoning (mimics Mrs Dash), 20 oz mustard. The 10 oz TJ Farms fzn blueberries are also a bargain, you referenced them, didn't have them. 18 oz oats are also sold there (I am picky, however, and source mine in the 42 oz canister at WF-organic ones), lb bags of both brown and white rice, flour tortillas, 28 oz cans of tomato sauce/puree, 24 oz boxes of pasta. Mine carries medium eggs only. The egg count varies, as egg prices fluctuate, Can be 12, 8, or just 6. I always do the math to compare against other stores, such as the Aldi's next door.
Glad I scrolled through the comments before posting or I would have mentioned the same stuff you did. The only thing I didn't notice you mentioning is the pizza sauce. They have one (forget name unfortunately) that's made with extra virgin olive oil and very tiny pieces of tomato that really makes your pizza taste like something special. - Also, with so many people cooking and freezing stuff I'm surprised he didn't mention plastic containers. They have ever size you'll probably ever need. And at 4/$1 that's a damn good deal.
@@magusxxx LOL-I am a home canner, and make my own pizza sauce . Yes, foil pans, too are a real bargain.
Thank you so much. I have always avoided the food aisle at Dollar Tree. I will check it out now!
Dollar Tree is my JAM!!! i love their fruit & nut packs for road trips.
Bobby thanx for the deets on the Russell Stover 'sugar-free' chocolates! i have them in the fridge and thought what a brilliant cheat..now they're going to the trash. 👍🍫😵
Weeeellllll . . . Maybe those maltitol candies can be a substitute for ex-lax!! 😄
Dollar Tree!!! I never thought this day would come on this channel!
He's not advocating shopping there - he's responding to all the comments on other shopping hauls that people didn't have the money to buy things he chose.
DO you have a problem with DT. Is it beneath You?
I click so fast I was like wat good info
Compare this to to the early 90s or even 2000s. All the frozen vegetables, cauliflower rice, coconut well you watched the video. Back in the day or even five years ago it was all junk food and 90 percent junk food and no healthy options. It goes to show the power of keto and modern people realizing this super junk food give you diabetes. I can't imagine in another five years what they will have
I thought only Cheap Junk can be Bought at Dollar Tree.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My stepmom is convinced that canola oil is good for you. 😭Meanwhile, I grew up when she wasn't around being told that extra virgin olive and organic coconut oil were at the time then I learned about grapeseed oil. She is convinced that she is right about everything, when I look at my parents though I see all the processed food taking a toll on their faces and bodies. Not that I'm perfect at it, more often not. I'm still like...if only they had food education.
That carrier! Perfect for the little back breaker babies! I need one!
Great video in these hard times for many. Rose is amazingly beautiful ❤️. Must be all that great food she's getting from great parents.
I am going to comment on that beautiful baby she is absolutely adorable ...
I don't know that I would trust that the fish was actually wild. China has been known to swap out their farmed raised fish with the wild that we send them to process. : /
They are probably sewer raised.😏
I wouldn’t trust anything from China
@@NewbirthHannah05 amen!
You never know...its China that we're talking about here 🤔
Jessica Sims - it really makes me sad
Thanks for the interesting information on what to buy and what not to buy at Dollar tree. I want to add that I enjoy watching you cook with Rose.👍😋😋😋
Blah blah blah kiss Rose, blah blah blah kiss Rose, blah blah blah kiss Rose, blah blah blah kiss Rose 🤣
I love it.. she's so very kissable 💋
@Diana Moore I know, they're so chubby! My goodness I want to squeeze her 🤗.
that pretty much sums up the video ;)
Yes I love her and her little voice 🥰😍 ughhhh she gives me MAJOR baby fever
Lol
@@BobbyParrish It's the sweetest. Who needs dessert with all that sugar?!
Rose is the Poopie Prodigy!. I luv it! What a sweet baby girl. Thank you so much... I'm trying to eat healthy but I'm going broke in the attempt.
I just have to say...the way you address re Rose reminds me of how much God loves us all! He can’t stop kissing us too!
Thank you so much! I love that you do all of this while holding that sweet baby! Love your channel!
I love I. You say "palm oil" and Rose starts to cry. 🤣 Rose is too sweet. 💕
I also have to tell you that the vinegar apple cider vinegar with the mother in the bottom of it is good to soak when you warm it up to swipe it not heat it just get it a little warm and soak your feet in it for 45 minutes along with a tablespoon of baking soda and some warm water and you'll take care of your foot fungus
I love how Bobby gives sweet Rosie kisses!!
@FlavCity with Bobby Parrish couldn't appreciate the information and videos y'all put out any more than I do already! I look forward to your videos weekly. I couldn't help but notice your "millions of peaches, peaches for me" reference from P.U.S.A!!! LOL. Keep up the amazing work!!! 🤘
I’ve always been hesitant to purchase food at my dollar tree. In my city we don’t have access to whole foods, trader joe’s etc I will now feel more confident stopping by dollar tree. Thanks
I know this video is nearly a year old, but thank you for listening to your audience when it comes to budget grocery hauls. We are on a budget and we straddle the poverty line but we also want to be able to eat the best foods we can. For us, that has meant getting a monthly produce box that includes organics at a fraction of what I pay for them at any local grocer and making use of our local scratch and dent grocer which often has great deals on healthy foods. I just really appreciate that you are taking the time to do this and hope you'll continue to in the future.
Love how Rose has gone from just chillin to actually helping Bobby cook! 💜
You are changing lives!
Terra actually makes Plantain Chips with Coconut oil
I help care for a 17 year old with special needs who has never walked on her own. I've been with her since she was 4. Her Mom had a Tush Baby or something just like it, and we used it with her for SO long! She was literally 6 years old hanging off our hip. Obviously most people wouldn't need to use it that long but I highly recommend it. Kids get heavy, even babies!
Love how u r doing more videos with ur daughter.
Thank you for such an informative video! Love how you go into detail with every item and I love all the affection you show your baby girl 💕
Rose is so darn cute! Thanks for sharing this Bobby, I love shopping @ the DT. Everything for a buck! Yes please! 💰👍
I love the “hip shelf” you are holding Rose on! So much better for spine! Brand please? Tx for D T info.
