Thanks so much for the tips, Rose! You have an amazing ability to turn humble ingredients into spectacularly flavourful and nutritious options. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us!
I went and made your couscous salad right after watching this… I had no idea it was as easy as one part boiling water, one part couscous. It’s an ingredient I’ve had in my pantry that I’ve been avoiding using because I didn’t know what to do with it. The salad turned out great!
I used to frequent Dollar Tree. I would always check the freezers for frozen fruits and veggies! I like making smoothies using the frozen fruits. I’d get frozen mangoes, strawberries, berries, I think they even have frozen fruit mixes as well. I would put some of the frozen fruits into the blender, add some almond milk, soy milk or canned coconut milk, some agave syrup, cinnamon powder & blend. 😋 thank you so much for this video! You are so creative, it’s amazing!
TOMATO SOUP WITH NOODLES IS NOT WEIRD ITS SO GOOD In my culture we make this dish called Sopa de Fideo AND ITS LITERALLY TOMATO SOUP AND NOODLES AND ITS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST THINGS WE HAVE TO OFFER 😩😩
Also very easy to veganize, instead of using chicken flavor(bouillon) just use literally any other kind (that is vegan) and the rest of the ingredients are all vegan so just follow the recipe
@@CheapLazyVegan I’m Mexican, technically Sopa de Fideo originates from Spain but it was brought over to Mexico during Spanish colonization. And it was actually brought over TO Spain from Italy as a form of “spaghetti.” But although the exact details of how spaghetti turned into Sopa de Fideo from Italy to Spain to Mexico is unclear its believed that mexicans began to adapt dishes brought by spaniards to suit their tastes and cooking methods. So the Sopa de Fideo as we know it today and the way we cook it and season it, is a dish very traditional to Mexico. I very much recommend!!! Definitely a favorite of mine and everyone I know that has tried has also loved it!!
Our Dollar Stores here in the US carry lots of vegan options; frozen veggies and fruits, frozen vegan burgers along with other vegan treats, vegetables dumplings, Vegan fish products near the tuna, and lots of canned vegetables and fruit, pasta, rice, dried beans, and many other options. I am happy they are expanding their selections to serve more customers.
@@CheapLazyVegan yeah, Dollar Tree is about a mile from me, and they don't have the same quality of food like dates and chia seeds and other organic foods. There are a few vegan items, but not nearly as much. I'm going to check them out again, but it's mostly stuff like Tapatio Ramen Bowls (which are Mexican-spice flavored ramen bowls...not kidding LOL). No where close to Canada's Dollarama.
I found something called sundried tomato paste. I don't especially like the texture of the actual tomatoes but the paste adds a depth of flavor you don't get with regular tomato paste.
Really interesting video! I would be curious to see you do a video where you buy all the same ingredients at a grocery store to see if Dollarama was actually cheaper.
Loved this video, do more like this when you have a chance, it was so fun to see what you came up with and maybe you can go to other stores too and limit your purchases to one dollar or less items. I'd love to see if you could make cheap delicious meals by going to a regular store, possibly getting things for much less than a dollar there too?
Genius! Very inspirational. Because of you I eat ramen noodles (lol) but with veggies and without the seasoning packet. My takeaways are the coconut cream whip to make overnight chia pudding, the cake and cola hack, and the fried rice, which I will sometimes sub with ramen noodles.Thanks!
cook an entire "gourmet" meal from the dollar store for a friend. Do not let them know and lets see their reaction! I think with some planning you could make a really balanced healthy meal/3 course mean thing from the dollar store!
I am so loving your channel. I love to make cheap easy vegan creole/cajun meals. People think it’s hard but it’s not. I teach my students if you could cook when you ate meat, you can cook delicious vegan meals all your doing is removing the meats or all animal products, but what we don’t take away is all the delicious seasonings. In creole culture the way to make all of the food taste authentic and good is to always use your staples onion, bell peppers, and celery. My favorite creole aunt also say never go without garlic powder.
Our 🌹definitely understood the assignment! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥. Only products from the dollar store! Your personality totally shined here. Not gonna lie, for me…gotta stick with fresh ingredients. However, if dollar store were my only choice, I know where to go for ideas!
If you have 99cent stores where you live you can buy "Ugly Food" there, it's fresh produce that didn't meet cosmetic requierments for contracts with restaurant & grocery chains that often was composted or sold as "seconds to feed suppliers to be fed to market animals. It's a win win for vegans & eco friendly folks.
Poundland in the UK recently started doing frozen and chilled food. The trouble is the brands often change week to week, so I have to buy several frozen/store cupboard items if they are good in case they vanish next time.
Thanks for posting this! I often go the dollar store to get stuff for the neighborhood community cupboard where anyone who needs food can just take it. You made some suggestions I'd never thought about before.
Loved this! I'd be interested to see a video on healthy foods you wouldn't expect to find at the dollar store because I had no idea you could find chia seeds there
I went to a noodle place not too long ago near Toronto and their only vegan option was tomato soup! It was amazing and it never occurred to me I could go to the dollar store and make it for like $3
Wow you lucky they DONT have sun dried tomatoes,and red wine vinegar in my neighborhood dollar store and they don’t have that ramen you used they only have the animal one.
I always have edamame beans and unsalted roasted peanuts on hand. I add those and something green like spinach to my noodles. It's a meal and not a snack.
Could of made an Oatmeal crumble for that pie. I've done tomato soup with regular noodles before. But not with Ramen. I think I will try that. Could of punched holes in that cake and let the cream go all the way through it. Still looks good anyways. I Love Uncle Beans rice. Would love to try that Stir Fry. Yummy.
Dollar Tree was my go to as a young, broke vegan who only had $10-20 to spend on two weeks of food. Definitely not something anyone should have to go through, but I was thankful for the many vegan options I had, even veggie burgers, and spring rolls! I just wish they had fresh produce!
Hey Hey >;-) Great video!!! Learning lots >;-) Love the ramen tomato Combo. I enjoy it with everything you said as well. Sometimes I cut up a whole red onion into 6 wedges, Sweat for 5 minutes n 43 seconds then add the soup.I like Baby Bok Choy as well >;-) Your overnight Oat recipe is Awesome !!!! Rock 'n' Roll
Nooo sooup… i would mix noodleeys with vege soup and tomato soup with rice. M not fan of soups . Tomato jaiicxx . Braaavo for creativity. I was shocked 😮 how u actualy made eatable thingz from 20 ingridients 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you for making this video. I now have some ideas for a potluck I've been invited too. When you're a vegan you bring something you know you can eat to a potluck.
The pie not the correct crust. You can easily buy crusts or make them. You could have made some empanadas/turn overs. It’s easy. Simply need flour, oil and water. You make a dough just like seitan and knead it. It needs to be oily and not moist. But pliable. Then roll it. When making pie crust or pastry crust you cut the oil into the flour until you have what looks like peas. Then you slowly add water and hand knead it. You can pt the crust into a pan or roll it then place it into the pan.
That is really fascinating to me... We have shops here too which have a lot of stuff for 1€ each, but they have no food besides candy xD I had no ideas that dollar stores with food are a thing in other countries
I feel unhinged asking this, but has anyone tried the cake mix hack with seltzer water instead of soda? I'm wondering if it's a way to cut back a little bit on the sugar.
When I think of the Tomato Soup in Ramen, I think of the Korean Convivence store videos on TikTok where they get the Korean ramen bowls you drain, add tomato sauce, add a slice of cheese or string cheese, and then add eggs or sausages. I bet you could veganize that with this version by adding vegan cheese or N. yeast and some vegan grounds or meatballs.
The graham cracker crust is usually for pudding & custard pies that could have a meringue or cool whip topping. And you are right the apple pie would have had a flour crust and a flour or crumble topping. But it was fun to see your apple walnut pie. It will be an easy dessert when I am desperate for time. Thanks for this video, it was very interesting to see what can be bought at the $1 store.
Love 😍 budget recipes and Rose has shown that she certainly is the Cheap Lazy Vegan. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Rose and she doesn't need makeup because of her natural beauty.
Haleys vegan just wanted to know if you had any suggestions on what I could substitute banana or anything that you make and may or may not have any nuts in it I have allergies to nuts as well as banana so I’m trying to be on a vegan journey but there’s so many different things out there they require a banana or nuts do you know of any good substitute
Just an FYI, graham cracker crust should not be baked, they are usually filled with pudding or fruit and served cold. I will need to try the cake mix with the soda, that looked good.
You could have made a crumble topping for your pie with the oats!!!
Where were you when I needed you 😆
@@CheapLazyVegan obviously I was waiting around to provide vegan pie advice 😂
Exactly what I was gonna say! 👍
@@CheapLazyVegan or even just bought two of those pie crusts and crumbled one of them on top so you don’t have to get any additional ingredients
Yes, the brown sugar oatmeal would’ve been a beautiful addition as the topping on the pie! Love the coconut cream still!!

thank you so much!
Ooo idea for cake and the coconut. Poke holes in the cake and just pour the milk over top n let it soak in. Almost like tres leches cake.
“It may not be like a pie but it taste like a pie” 😂
You make me laugh rose 😘😘😘 Love your personality
haha thank you!!

Lucky you! Our dollar stores have come a LONG way in terms of quality and selection but we don;'t have stuff like that yet.
@@kaleidoscopeeyes1184 I heard some on the West Coast have fresh fruit and vegetables. We used to have some with a bakery but they stopped that.
I live in Boston and The dollar trees here are not that elaborate 😭
Can confirm west coast dollar stores have fruit, veg, and some plant based meats and milks
What dollar stores?
Knows this has to be a Canadian Dollar Store, because in the U.S., we don't have goodies like dates and chia seeds in ours.
ya it's canadian! but I remember when i was in the states, dollar tree had a lot of stuff like frozen food!

You could have also added the coconut cream into the tomato soup that is delicious I do that all the time
y'all are full of great ideas !
@@CheapLazyVegan its delicious..
Need to try
Tomato soup with vegetable ramen?!:o I’m going to try it tomorrow and see how it tastes:3
Me too!
I’m trying it tonight lol
the can of coke trick also work with mineral water, or for more delicious flavor, a stout beer :)
omg what!!
I'm thinking of trying with ginger beer since i avoid sodas like the pest
Really interesting video! I would be curious to see you do a video where you buy all the same ingredients at a grocery store to see if Dollarama was actually cheaper.
Oooooo! Interesting! Tbh might be a bit more but you would probably get a bigger bag of rice etc so would last longer!
LOVE your videos. Dollar is not known for being nutritious. So glad you added veggies to the soup. 😊
thank you !!

Omg you’re brilliant! Everything looks fantastic Rose 😍👍👍💚
You can also add the pie filling to cake mix to make a dump cake
That chia pudding though! Must have been so delicious!

@@dianapovero7319 the 99 cent store has been such a game changer for me! I’ve never heard of it until I moved to Arizona and now I’m obsessed
ya i'm hoping some people will find this helpful!!! thank you for watching
For the pie, you could make an oat crumble topping. Would be yummy
Poundland in the UK recently started doing frozen and chilled food. The trouble is the brands often change week to week, so I have to buy several frozen/store cupboard items if they are good in case they vanish next time.
I eat apple pie filling in my oatmeal.
IDK if betty crocker's cake mixes are definitely vegan but I've been told duncan hines' are
Looks like I got here first 😎
WOOOT!
Thanks for posting this! I often go the dollar store to get stuff for the neighborhood community cupboard where anyone who needs food can just take it. You made some suggestions I'd never thought about before.
it would be inappropriate NOT to eat the pie out of the pan
hahaha! true!
Pleeease make more videos like this 😍
ok I have to say this was fun to watch. Next time do healthier ok? I have faith in you! You can do it Rose!
will do - this is hopefully helpful people that are looking to cook cheaply !
I just got diagnosed with Covid.
I really appreciate you uploaded😅.
I really liked this video. So appropriate for these crazy times! Wonderful meal ideas for that help with budgeting. Thank you. 😊
Loved this! I'd be interested to see a video on healthy foods you wouldn't expect to find at the dollar store because I had no idea you could find chia seeds there
in 2022, this kind of video has never been more valuable. Thanks!!! Great ideas
This is awesome!! Please do this again soon. Saving money and staying a vegan is so great. I can't wait to test out some of the recipes this weekend.

You inspired me to eat more noodles 😅🍜🍝
I always have edamame beans and unsalted roasted peanuts on hand. I add those and something green like spinach to my noodles. It's a meal and not a snack.
We have a 99
And store in my area inUSA
Dollar stores in ottawa do not have a lot of vegan products. We don't have freezers, fresh fruits or veggies in our dollar stores either.
Not cool. There should definitely be a frozen section there. The fresh fruits though, I haven't seen in any dollar store in the US.
Are the freeze dried strawberries organic? If not they are the number 1 on the dirty dozen list
You are so fun. Love the red hair.

Could of punched holes in that cake and let the cream go all the way through it. Still looks good anyways. I Love Uncle Beans rice. Would love to try that Stir Fry. Yummy.

Very nice meals Rose. Thanks for the inspiration.
This is a really great video! You were able to think of some truly innovative ways to cook up dollar store items. I’m going to try some TODAY!
Very fun! You should do this again! Or which regular supermarket can supply the best vegan haul?

Those stuffed leaves are delicious but if you want to make them extra delicious. You can add some zing with drops of lemon juice.
my local dollarama has jars of minced garlic, would have been a great help in this vid lol
Your dollar stores in Canada are way better than the US. Every food I've gotten from a dollar store tasted like chemicals and plastic.
Wow. Canadian Dollar Store looks way better than ours!

If you do the Dollar Store again. Apple pie filling in oatmeal. Add cinnamon and vegan milk. Overnight Apple Pie Oats.
surprised you didn't just use chia seeds and coconut milk for the cake mix. I haven't tried these with coke, will try once day.
Dollar store vegan challenge, I dig. Some awesome looking dishes you have there too, definitely will try it out.
but why soda in the cake mix ????? and not oat milk, soy milk ?.......
The graham cracker crust is usually for pudding & custard pies that could have a meringue or cool whip topping.

Love this video!! Super quick cheap meals. Gave me new ideas to try!
You can put cinnamon and sugar in the pie and cook the apples with the cinnamon and sugar then put in crust
Did you get the dolmas at the dollar store??? I get that Can from Trader Joe’s for $3-4!
Chia seeds are only good for you if you ferment them.. smh 🤦♀️
I would just sprinkle some granola on top after baking
You can mix brown sugar, oats, and vegan butter then crumble on top. Presto Dutch apple topping

you make me want to buy coucous and ramen noodles and that pepsi cake yummy!! u make my day esp hearing you crunch and eat and the mmm noises!!
Would love too see more videos like this!
Ramen and tomato soup: GENIUS!
Just add some cheese to vamp up 😍
Ge ft regular crushed cookies or gramcrackers or wnuts cream on top
Wow! Buy a jar make oatmeal the night before just add hot water in the morning
Oh rose if you took your maple oatmeal and add vegan butter and that would be a great crumble on top of your pie!
It whipped it just didn't whip!!! LOL That was a good one!
your whole look is giving me Poison Ivy vibes! (from DC)
Doesn’t look like a pie because it’s a cheesecake crust! ☺️😬
Great video! This is most helpful for those on budgets - thank you so much.
Just an FYI, graham cracker crust should not be baked, they are usually filled with pudding or fruit and served cold. I will need to try the cake mix with the soda, that looked good.
They sale “fresh” garlic purée, I love it
With ⛽️ gas prices as high as they are. YES. Please make more.
Cocos could be made night before take to work add hot water
I’ve been vegan for like 5 years and never heard of the cake hack, where have I been
this was fun to watch 💗
Dollar tree has canned and frozen vegetables
I love your hair!! What do you use to get that great saturated colour?
How long did you fry the fried rice and was it like medium or low flame?
Very impressive. Inspiring. Fun!
