I run a food pantry for my community as my full time job and I love these cheap and creative recipes because it shows people that even if resources are limited you can make some really good stuff!
Deidre, I oversee our church “little food pantry”. I also watch these videos to see what to stock. Ours is not refrigerated, so my choices are limited. The bags of cheese are popular! Also, pepperoni and meat sticks.
@@db4082 I work for a large non profit in ohio that has a perishable food pantry and community gardens. We will be partnering with a large food bank and getting items to stock the pantry through the USDA from that food bank. My comment was mainly about having recipe ideas that Brooke supplies so nicely that I can use in the boxes of food items we distribute so people have ideas of what to do with the food they receive. Because some times you may get things that you don't know how to cook or don't know what to put with it.
When my family was poor, we ate a lot of hot dogs, spam, and bologna. I actually still love them all to this day! Don't care what others think!!😂😂 have a blessed day
@@judyanderson8782 It's one thing for me to hate spam (since childhood), but I would never ever put someone down for eating it. As for Velveeta, I wouldn't cut a slice off and eat it, but there are a few dishes that would never be as tasty if they were made with regular cheddar instead of Velveeta! Also, if I had to pick one food to eat every day for a month without regards for the cost at all, it would be Kraft boxes original nacn cheese. It never gets old, and I absolutely love that orange powder packet! Lol
Brooke, you are amazing! These ideas are going to help me SO much this month because EVERYTHING is due - car insurance, car tags & a surprise medical bill. After bills are paid & I fuel my car up, I will have about $60 leftover to buy groceries. Thank you for showing us that feeding our family IS possible on an extremely low budget! I will definitely be using your ideas to keep my crew’s tummy’s full and have the food be delicious. ❤
You mentioned how it takes time to go out to eat, but it also takes time to earn that money to go out and pay for it. A friend of mine works part-time for $10 an hour. I asked her to keep track of the fast food she buys and then on Sunday the sit-down restaurant meal. She was spending $80 a week! She was clueless to how much money she was throwing away but that's $320 a month and I could eat like a king for $320. So she was working 16 4 hour shifts so she can do fast food and one restaurant meal a week. 😮. That is 16 4 hour work shifts. Crazy. I referred her to your channel!!!
You need to be reminded that what you are doing is a ministry- I feel God called you to use your gifts to help others - never let nay sayers get you down for a second ❤
Brooke, your creativity and boldness in the kitchen is such an inspiration. I see you do things that I would never think of doing, and yet it always seems so simple and doable. Everything looks delicious, quick and easy. I have dietary issues that won’t always let me use your ideas “as is” but because you get me thinking outside the box I can usually think of an alternative. Even more that any of this, the love shared in your family is truly a bright light in these days. And when you sign off at the end, you make us feel loved too. You are the real deal, Brooke!
Love watching your video. Great ideas. You might interested in my Hot Dog stew, got off Campbell's soup can, tomatoe soup, chopped pre cooked potatoes, peas or corn, chop dogs pieces, season to taste. Cook till dogs are done.
Just an FYI, the McCormick's fajita seasoning packet is $1.66 at WM. I like making those grilled cheese roll ups except my husband ends up eating about 3 times more food! Somehow 2 grilled cheeses fill him up but it takes 562 of the roll ups for some reason! The best thing about cooking is that you rarely will ever screw anything up beyond eatability! (made up word) so experiment! Have fun! Brooke, you should make a short of that raspberry/cheese sandwich!
Loved this! Suggestion.. cut top off green bean bag. Add seasonings, oil, etc. Hold top shut and shake to distribute. Covers everything more evenly. Plus no greasy fingers!
i just love everyone of your videos. You are fun and so creative. I love you in braids. I just never got tired of you. I am 82 years old and I have seen so many you tubes. Yours are refreshing.
I love that your videos include lunches! I also homeschool and my husband teleworks a couple of days each week and I use soooooo many of your lunch ideas. They're happy to have something other than leftovers, pb and j or plain grilled cheese and I'm happy that they're not complaining 😆
Bless you girlfriend! ❤ I paid all my bills and got my household items,soap ect...The balance left for the month of May for our family of 6 is $350. My freezers and and shelves are stocked because I was prepared for this. Thanks to you,and Mandy I can do this!❤❤❤
Oh my gosh, my granddaughters are going to love the grilled cheese roll ups!! They asked for grilled cheese and tomato soup tonight, they will be so excited!! Thanks for making " cheap" fun!!!
Girl, the way your hubby rolling his eyes eating that grilled cream cheese sandwich with that raspberry jam got me wanting to RUN to the $tree. Lol Yall are AWESOME!❤
You have to be careful with their can goods. Buy only one or two and open and eat within a few days. I lost about 10 + cans of peaches with in a month of buying them. Still in date year to year & 1/2 of best use date. So I go to Wal-Mart buy peaches and pineapple 1.28$ always been fresh and has never lost its seal and spoiled.
I love dollar tree. My hubby fed himself my two kids very cheap when I was in az for a funeral 6 years ago. He did good. Also ours has been getting so many big portions of things. I stock up when I can :) my fav dollar tree meal is the tortillas a can of refried beans and cheese for bean and cheese quesadillas and it’s so filling.
Boy, you really outdid yourself with this challenge!! You got a really decent amount of protein and veg into those bellies on an extremely tight budget. Our diet is quite different than your family's because we are very low sodium and we eat very little cheese, but your videos still give me so much inspiration. The way you share your thought process as you look at the options, helps me to think outside the box a bit. I'm getting better at figuring out what I can do with the stuff we already have on hand or the stuff on sale, rather than deciding what I feel like cooking and buying what we need. It saves so much money to think that way. Thanks and keep up the good work Brooke!
Brooke, honey, no worries. If anyone says a thing about your "choices", encourage them to let you know they can send in funds. So sorry you have to explain this. Screw them.
Thank you for another great video with yummy-looking meals. I’m not working right now, and I depend on Dollar Tree for a lot of things. God bless your sweet family!
I buy wonton wrappers and stuff them with cream cheese, fry it up, and make a dip out of jam/jelly, maple syrup, honey, or whatever I have available for them. It’s a nice, crispy, sweet treat that makes a TON on a budget.
You can use the Asian salad kit mixes and stir fry the veggies. Place a large spoonful on The wonton wrapper fold into a triangle water seal the edges and fried till crispy. You can get at least five meals out of that and still have wonton wrappers left. Make some stir fried rice with half the veggies and the rest for the wonton egg rolls and you can get more meals out of it meals out of it.b
Hey Girl. I thought for sure that Dusty was going to faint when he tasted the grilled philly cream cheese and the raspberry preserves. Nice video as always. Thanks for all the tips on a low budget.
I love you and your videos. This was great. Huge variety and veggies as well. Your mind in building meals with items is a gift. So many who want to save are so happy you're here to share. Have a terrific Tuesday and be blessed always, Brooke & Co.! xoxo
Brooke, I love your thinking outside of the box meal ideas, just the way I love to cook! I love being creative with the tomato soup, me and my mom always make it with the milk and add a dash of celery salt and a little sugar to it, adds a little more to it. I do the grilled cheese roll ups in the frying pan and sometime do them with pepper jack cheese and in the tomato soup I will add some salsa and a dash of hot sauce and it makes a great paring!
Thank you so much Brooke ❤, I have 3 growing Grandson's and your meals are a hit with them and the Family. Your sons are so lucky to have you as a Mom. Your youngest doing his fainting is so adorable and funny 😊
I recently got a job at dollar and I have used ALL off your recipes from the DT. I'm so excited to try these ones. Thank your for every video you put out whether it be food content or not. I LOVE ALL of your content. Canr wait to see more gardening videos. Love you Brooke and your family.
You are amazing. I discovered you a couple of days ago, and now you're on my feed.. You actually could have your own t v show . If anyone reading these comments has any power to do so, please approach this young woman so she can be noticed on a national level, she deserves it. I also grew up with very little money. That has built character, ingenuity and kindness ,I see it has done the same for you. I think you're on the path to a interesting and very successful future. You're kindness and compassion haven't gone unnoticed. Best wishes to you and your beautiful family.❤❤❤
Hi Brooke , Dusty and boys I was so excited to see what all you got for the money and the delicious meals you put together. Thank you Brooke for all your hard work and research putting these meals together to help make our food budget go further and delicious meal plans . Keep the videos coming. I love y'all are like my own family I look forward to every notice I get when y'all gonna be on . Brooke , Dusty and boys you will never know how y:all have help me through some tough days with the loss of my husband , mother , brother and sister this all happened in a spand of just a couple of years and it's been a rough time but your love and out pouring and smiling faces has given me a spark of life back into my life never stop the videos coming because y'all will never know what joy you give someone like me who has suffered greatly with the loss of family and alone now you are a beautiful family and I love each one of you from the depths of my heart ❤️ . Sending you lots and love and prayers 🙏❤
I have been watching you for a long time now. You and your family are such a blessing! Thank you so much we're not only the recipes that the entertainment. I'm bed fast for now watching your videos keeps me motivated and laughing. God bless all of you❤
The hot dogs are really good in the mac & cheese. I just brown them in the same pan I will cook the mac & cheese in. Add the water and mac & cheese. What cooks off the dogs give added flavor to it. My kids wanted this all the time when they were kids. They are very good at bbq's.
😊Bless you live your channel people's will need more and more channel like yours because food getting more and more expensive each weeks here where we live prices are getting crazy! Long live and GOD BLESS YOU and family a for all People's here !!!! Amen !!!!!😊😊😊😊
Some great ideas yet again sweet lady ❤ love your videos!! Your reaching more folks than you realize some won’t comment but watch, just know your a true blessing and you’ve taught me to think outside the box too🎉
You are helping people find ways of eating on a low income. When I was growing up we didn't have a lot of money and we are a lot of left overs and a lot of what you make. The people who watch hour videos that are certain comments to you SHAME ON THEM. I love your videos and the reaction of your family❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. You GO GIRL
Wow, Zoey has such beautiful Hair.. It looks the BOMB with her new cut. Some can wear their hair any way and it looks soo good.😊 loved the Mushroom and Dixie's Dish, great job guys.
Hi Brooke. This is the lady that asked what you tubers you like to watch. I have a couple of ones for you that I like. Dollar tree dinners and Mandy in the making. I think you will find them Enjoyable to watch
I'm just being honest. I like to watch about your recipes you show. But this one, not exactly something that I would honestly try simply because of your presentation of ingredients and techniques and putting all together. I do love quite a few things that you have shared! And I appreciate you I appreciate you❤
It never occurred to me to use this recipe. Duh!🙂 I will be making this soon Brooke. Went for groceries yesterday and am resting up today. Was sick with the flu for awhile and this hot meal is just the ticket for days that are Special. My arms are killing me this morning because all these groceries can be heavy. If you buy Tomato Sauce x 4 plus plus plus pantry items plus fridge freezer items it's a work out. Thanks again for this recipe.
Brooke, your videos inspire me to want to do more for my community as I have been blessed also by food pantries. I can't do a lot at this time of my life but I can do a little and contribute $20 worth of food items..maybe more one day. God bless all that you do to help people and your TH-cam viewers.
The hot dog idea was a great one. I’m definitely going to try it. It looked good also. I been hooked on these videos. I’m trying to find ways to maximize my budget with a household of 5 & 7 every other weekend when step kids come. . Thanks for sharing.
Brooke, I love that your meals are kid friendly! Your video’s are so enjoyable to watch and I learn so much! I think I am going to purchase an air fryer after watching you use yours so often!
When my kids were younger, sometimes after paying bills, we’d have like $20-25 left for groceries… people thought I was crazy but I’d take what I called “inventory” of my cabinets and fridge to see what we had… I’d then take the money and buy items that would go with what we had… At that time we were a family of 6! We ate pretty good!
Those cream cheese and preserve sandwiches would also be great dipped in an egg and milk mixture and cooked like french toast! Awesome breakfast for a weekend treat!
One of the low cost dinners I grew up with that I still eat as comfort food is tomato soup with sliced hotdogs in it.Served with a side of buttered toast.
Love this Brooke!!! I am going to send it to my son at college so he can get some new ideas for meals that are cheap!!! Thanks again for all you do!!! You are THE BEST!!!
Fajita mix in beans. You are a god send. I've been trying to google different ways to use meat seasonings that I have on hand because I won't buy slabs of meat, and I want to use what I already have in my pantry. Google is NO HELP. You just get the fancy recipes that call for a billion expensive organic things that no one has the time for anymore. I just want to eat well without needing to buy expensive meat or wasting what I already have, dang it! I'm learning that beans are actually very versatile and I am able to explore what I can with them. I'm excited to try these recipes, thank you!
You gave some great options and super creative! I love the green bean idea never thought to make them like that! Also I’m going to try the rice pudding! I love the love in your household and how much appreciation they show! ❤
You're very creative with food prep. And your family is just precious & so appreciative of your efforts. I love the way they try the foods & seem to enjoy each meal.
To tomato soup can add basil, garlic and buy the Mexican/Spanish section little bag of mac sea shells, add soup until noodles are cooked or cook first. Noodles cost less than 55 cents. Also add one small bag of frozen mixed veggies, a bag of Mex/Span but this time the alphabets pasta, basil, dill, oregano, and garlic. Cook until noodles and veggies are cooked.
Hi - great ideas!! Your son Buttercup looks like a model! I watch a lot of Chinese Dramas on you tube.. with his thick hair, he needs to be in movies. Sent my hubby to Dollar Tree. I am housebound so he does the shopping, but I watch these videos and grocery hauls to see what is in the stores. You are my eyes.. thanks you so much! Hugs from Diberville, MS
The hotdogs, green beans, and cheesy rotel looks so creative. I need to try, thanks for the inspiration Brooke! Im loving the boys haircuts, just in time for the warm weather!
It would be helpful to include the total number of meals, 7. So an average of $3.50 a meal plus the rice pudding, which we would have eaten as breakfast a couple times. I love it when you say a dish us the "bomb" cause you are the bomb!
My mom used to take leftover hot dog weiners and slice them open lengthwise and put a half slice of American cheese in the middle. She would heat them under the broiler until the cheese was melted. Very kid friendly.
I run a food pantry for my community as my full time job and I love these cheap and creative recipes because it shows people that even if resources are limited you can make some really good stuff!

Ihave a relative that puts down velveeta cheese and anyone who eats it. She just doesn't know what's good.

I love watching and learning from you. Thank you for all you do!
I love these budget videos. They've helped me get more creative and feel less guilty.
Never feel guilty. If you are feeding your family, you are doing it right :)
Brooke, your creativity and boldness in the kitchen is such an inspiration. I see you do things that I would never think of doing, and yet it always seems so simple and doable.

Love watching your video. Great ideas. You might interested in my Hot Dog stew, got off Campbell's soup can, tomatoe soup, chopped pre cooked potatoes, peas or corn, chop dogs pieces, season to taste. Cook till dogs are done.
Just an FYI, the McCormick's fajita seasoning packet is $1.66 at WM. I like making those grilled cheese roll ups except my husband ends up eating about 3 times more food! Somehow 2 grilled cheeses fill him up but it takes 562 of the roll ups for some reason! The best thing about cooking is that you rarely will ever screw anything up beyond eatability!

😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
I agree!
@allyroo…Excellent and funny comment… 💕
😂
That's finger sandwich science. Lol anyone else eat only one regular sandwich but 16 little finger sandwiches
Loved this! Suggestion.. cut top off green bean bag. Add seasonings, oil, etc. Hold top shut and shake to distribute. Covers everything more evenly. Plus no greasy fingers!
Smart idea!!
Ohhhh genius!!
Awesome idea ❤
Not a good idea, most of the seasoning will remain in the bag and not on the beans.
@rudysittig2343 lol.. well in my 50+ yrs cooking, I've found it to be quite helpful!😁

Hi Brooke. This is the lady that asked what you tubers you like to watch. I have a couple of ones for you that I like. Dollar tree dinners and Mandy in the making. I think you will find them Enjoyable to watch
I'm so glad I found your channel. You are awesome! 😊😊😊
glad to see you use mustard it's very healthy. When we have to eat poorly we need to use our mustards and spices and you are doing that I'm thankful.
I just love the way your son passes out he is just to cute
Ooh some fritos would be so good inside the tortilla with chili and cheese. Cooking the tortillas is good idea. Thabks for the ideas!
A hotdogs cut in half would be good in the chili cheese tortilla.
I'm just being honest. I like to watch about your recipes you show. But this one, not exactly something that I would honestly try simply because of your presentation of ingredients and techniques and putting all together. I do love quite a few things that you have shared! And I appreciate you I appreciate you❤
It never occurred to me to use this recipe. Duh!🙂 I will be making this soon Brooke. Went for groceries yesterday and am resting up today. Was sick with the flu for awhile and this hot meal is just the ticket for days that are Special. My arms are killing me this morning because all these groceries can be heavy. If you buy Tomato Sauce x 4 plus plus plus pantry items plus fridge freezer items it's a work out. Thanks again for this recipe.
Brooke here's one to try..Chili Speghetti in a soft tortilla add cheese .. onions..hot sauce ..So good❤️
I love watching your videos. I just love your personality and the meals really help out too 😊
I think you win the prize for the most creative, economical cook on you tube, making delicious food! God Bless you and your family!!!
I love the way you prepared the green beans and hotdogs 🌭 Looks gourmet ❤ LOVE THE SPATULA😊
We put green beans and real bacon pieces/bits and toss with olive oil, seasoning in the oven...they are delish!
Brooke, your videos inspire me to want to do more for my community as I have been blessed also by food pantries. I can't do a lot at this time of my life but I can do a little and contribute $20 worth of food items..maybe more one day. God bless all that you do to help people and your TH-cam viewers.
Braden is so handsome with his haircut. You have such handsome boys.
That’s how I love my Green Beans. I Scorch them a little bit for Flavor.
The hot dog idea was a great one. I’m definitely going to try it. It looked good also. I been hooked on these videos. I’m trying to find ways to maximize my budget with a household of 5 & 7 every other weekend when step kids come. . Thanks for sharing.
Love all of the great ideas. The wheels are already spinning in my head! Thanks for sharing
Burnt end hot dogs look awesome! You killed it again 😁.
Ps thank you for the prayers!!!
Dollar tree pork chops cooked in a skillet with barbecue sauce are the bomb!
Brooke, I love that your meals are kid friendly! Your video’s are so enjoyable to watch and I learn so much! I think I am going to purchase an air fryer after watching you use yours so often!
Rolled grilled cheese!!! Whhaaattt!! You just opened up a whole new world for me
Ever the typical Southern husband, Dusty loves everything! But your food looks good, Brooke.
Those burnt end hot dogs look great! We just got an oven with an air-fryer option. Keep the wonderful and affordable options coming!
When my kids were younger, sometimes after paying bills, we’d have like $20-25 left for groceries… people thought I was crazy but I’d take what I called “inventory” of my cabinets and fridge to see what we had… I’d then take the money and buy items that would go with what we had… At that time we were a family of 6! We ate pretty good!
Those cream cheese and preserve sandwiches would also be great dipped in an egg and milk mixture and cooked like french toast! Awesome breakfast for a weekend treat!
Girl…. You even make green beans look yummy.
I just found your channel and girl I love it !! Thank you for the good ideas!
One of the low cost dinners I grew up with that I still eat as comfort food is tomato soup with sliced hotdogs in it.Served with a side of buttered toast.
Love this Brooke!!! I am going to send it to my son at college so he can get some new ideas for meals that are cheap!!! Thanks again for all you do!!! You are THE BEST!!!
Fajita mix in beans. You are a god send. I've been trying to google different ways to use meat seasonings that I have on hand because I won't buy slabs of meat, and I want to use what I already have in my pantry. Google is NO HELP. You just get the fancy recipes that call for a billion expensive organic things that no one has the time for anymore. I just want to eat well without needing to buy expensive meat or wasting what I already have, dang it! I'm learning that beans are actually very versatile and I am able to explore what I can with them. I'm excited to try these recipes, thank you!
You gave some great options and super creative! I love the green bean idea never thought to make them like that! Also I’m going to try the rice pudding! I love the love in your household and how much appreciation they show! ❤
You're very creative with food prep.
And your family is just precious & so appreciative of your efforts. I love the way they try the foods & seem to enjoy each meal.
To tomato soup can add basil, garlic and buy the Mexican/Spanish section little bag of mac sea shells, add soup until noodles are cooked or cook first. Noodles cost less than 55 cents. Also add one small bag of frozen mixed veggies, a bag of Mex/Span but this time the alphabets pasta, basil, dill, oregano, and garlic. Cook until noodles and veggies are cooked.
Excellent…great…awesome…thank you…!
I ❤ these recipes
They all look so Delicious
Thanks for double these videos thanks ❤😊
Hi - great ideas!! Your son Buttercup looks like a model! I watch a lot of Chinese Dramas on you tube.. with his thick hair, he needs to be in movies. Sent my hubby to Dollar Tree. I am housebound so he does the shopping, but I watch these videos and grocery hauls to see what is in the stores. You are my eyes.. thanks you so much! Hugs from Diberville, MS
The hotdogs, green beans, and cheesy rotel looks so creative. I need to try, thanks for the inspiration Brooke!
Im loving the boys haircuts, just in time for the warm weather!
It would be helpful to include the total number of meals, 7. So an average of $3.50 a meal plus the rice pudding, which we would have eaten as breakfast a couple times. I love it when you say a dish us the "bomb" cause you are the bomb!
My mom used to take leftover hot dog weiners and slice them open lengthwise and put a half slice of American cheese in the middle. She would heat them under the broiler until the cheese was melted. Very kid friendly.
I’m market prepping and I keep turning on a new video and then I turn around and it’s over 😂💖 thanks for keeping me company 💖
Oh, and love your idea with the roll up grilled cheese
Absolutely trying grilled cheese roll ups with tomato soup. Has to make dipping so much easier! Thanks!!
Callum fainting in videos omg lol it's hilarious 😂😂😂
