I don't know why I'm watching this. I live in Glasgow, Scotland, so we don't have a dollar tree but I just love your videos xxx
Do you have anything similar?
Thank you!! 😂
Cuz you’re the ultimate MVP, and we love you for it! I’m adopted and got a DNA kit for Christmas, found out I’m 25% Scottish so now, just like Brooke doesn’t know what to do with her hands I feel like I don’t know what to do with this awesome information, should I learn the accent? I mean idk if I could ever pull it off, my Texas accent is pretty twangy (I don’t hear it lol) according to my grandson who accused me of talking like a “cow girl” lol, I’m a city girl whose only ridden a horse a few times!!!
Yep, glasgow, scotland here too - these 'foods' definitely not available here. But your facial expressions had me in stitches 😂
😂
I love how Ryder always puts his arm around you, shows his love for his awesome mama!
He surely does! My son does the same and I love it.❤
Ryder looks so grown up. It’s been fun watching your littles turn into bigs. You’re a great Mama, Brooke!
Thank you so much!!
My Grandaughter thinks Ryder is SO Cute
I am dying laughing at the reaction to the jerk chicken and beef pies. Lol
OMG ME TOO!!!
Guess I’m weird…I like them.
I love them, but FRIED not microwaved.
😂 me too! I wonder if baking them in the oven would help their taste?
I was homeless for nearly three years, living in a tent. I did eat a lot from DT. Bought a lot that had more than one serving such as mashed potatoes, soup mixes. I did buy some frozen food. No microwave needed- just a hot pan heated over a sterno or butane stove on low.
I hope you're housed and in a better situation now. I admire your "survival" instinct. I've never been un-housed but close. It is scary.
Brooke I just love how much Ryder show us how much he loves you. I just think it's wonderful how he's so affectionate with you. And he's turning out to be a good-looking young man. You have great children
Dollar tree meals are really expensive when you consider what you get. I bought a steak there once. I was so excited as I can't normally afford steak on my tiny social security check. When I got home and opened the package, it was a very thin piece of shaved steak folded over a few times. Basically luncheon meat. I once saw a youtuber make a dollar tree Thanksgiving dinner. It costs her 75 dollars! And she thought it was a bargain. And it was turkey luncheon meat ( sandwich meat) she used. You can buy a whole turkey on sale for about 8 bucks. The rest is cheap for sides when made from scratch. So, at a regular store for turkey and sides would be about 20-25 dollars. Dollar tree is good for buying cleaning supplies etc, but not food.
I love those spring rolls are the bomb every time I go to a dollar tree I check to see if they have those.
I put those in the air fryer. Then warm up pre-made rice to go with it.
I love them too lol. Occasionally will grab a package and eat for lunch.
I haven't been able to find them for years!! But I used to get a bunch of them at a time, maybe everyone else started doing the same and I've just been out of luck lol
When you get to 100k subscribers, show us your plaque! Congrats on 90k!
The GoldenKrust Mild Beef Patty is AMAZING! I lived in NY where the GoldenKrust stores are located and they taste exactly like the stores serve them. If you like Jamaican food, you will love these.
I love them. I use a little Chipotle Tabasco sauce on mine. I've even bought them at Sam's.
I cook them In the air fryer. Not in microwave.
We love them!!!
I ❤the beef ones, i fry in oil to make crust flaky.
Btw, I’m home for 2 months after having foot surgery, and all I can do is watch tv. (Hella not fond of my crutches, especially in a 2 story). I laughed my butt off at this video. I REALLY needed this today! Thanks Brooke and cute family!
I feel for you, I have had several surgery's on my foot after a crush injury and crutches are exhausting, I hope you recover soon ❤
Oh my... The meat pies😂you and Ryder's face, Brooke! You both are brave. The Tina's, I like the bean n cheese too for a quick snack. Thanks, bestie and Ryder. Congrats on 90K 🎉⭐🎉and I'll see you at 100K. Be blessed always, my Southerland Squad! xoxo
Cheeseburger isn't bad at all; just have to add ketchup, mustard, onions pickles lettuce tomato
Yes! Another channel used the ham for a dinner from dollar tree and she said it was soooo salty! She actually soaked hers to rinse it before she made it 😂😂😂
“Any Count and No Count.” I’d forgotten those sayings!! Thanks for reminding me. Love watching you and your family.
Those big burritos are good if you throw them in the oven with some enchilada sauce and shredded cheese on top. Great for an easy family meal if you don't feel like cooking a big meal.
@@visiblytiffany6479 Yeah! I buy the big bags of beef & bean burritos at Walmart, put in a 9x13 casserole dish, pour 28oz. red or green enchilada sauce over top, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, cover with foil, bake @ 350°F for 30 min. Then uncover & bake another 15 min or until the cheese is a little bit brown. Voilà! Lazy Enchiladas!
Thank you Brook for trying all the 1.25 frozen food. The egg rolls are my favorite . I always keep a few in the freezer .
Hello!, from a transplanted and very homesick Southern Mom! I love your videos ❤ Came across them yesterday. Subscribed immediately after watching. I Love how real and down to earth you and your family are! ❤😊
Me too. Yesterday.
I work at Walmart and we sell A TON of those burritos. A TON
Ryder was a great choice for you tasting buddy, he tells it like he tastes it. Funny and helpful video!
I microwave the big burrito for half the time, then put it in the air fryer for a bit to get some crisp on the outside, mmmmmm The spring rolls are delicious, my son loves them.😊
You’re a chicken tending, garden growing, gourmet cooking, fabulous mama, t shirt wearing , Temu nail wearing girly girl!!! And I love you!!! I’m the least girly girl on the planet even though I own $1,000s of makeup!! I wear it a couple of times a year but I love it❤❤❤
So basically, the dollar tree freezer section tastes like my childhood! 😂 lol I love it!
If Ryder had an English accent, he could be one of the Bridgerton brothers!
I buy my daughter golden krust Jamaican chicken. Just as good as the beef.😀thanks for your videos and God bless you and your family.
Duck sauce goes with the Spring rolls. I air fry mine.
Yes 😋
You’re welcome. HAHAHA! I have said this to my now grown up so many times. Sometimes they should be so grateful for the gatekeeping we do!
New subscriber here, but I've been watching for months. I LOVE McRibs. I have to try the egg and spring rolls now.
Hospital waiting room😂😂 Priceless 😅
OMG! It smells like a hospital may just be the best culinary description ever!!!
When Brooke said that she wanted to know if the frozen food was any count--I knew exactly what she meant! This woman is the real deal Holyfield! New subscriber here!!
All serious.... please try the pies in an air fryer. GAME CHANGER!
I'm surprised. Golden Krust makes excellent Jamaican food. I think you need to come to the Bronx and try it.
I've bought the frozen patties, and they're great. You got a bad batch.
I think the patties were made badly. Also, they need to be cooked in oven or toaster oven to be flaky and a bit crispy.
Nah they're just not used to the spices
I’m so glad I have access to fresh food. I can’t imagine people who this is there only food store.
No one has only dollar tree stores for food,
@@cynrokincorrect. For some that don't have cars, can get to dollar tree easily as that's the closest shop for them to get to. I watch another channel similar to this and in her comments people have said just that.
@@forrestcollective9184 is it Rebecca from dollar tree dinners? These videos are so helpful for alot of people. Dollar tree is my closest, walking distance store, but I’m also grateful I don’t need to rely on only that store. 😁
I was in a situation for about 6 months where I had only a Family Dollar to buy food with $35 a week for 3 people. I had to walk almost two miles each way and I am disabled but I had no help, no car, no bus line, little money. Be grateful you dont have to live like that. There are still people out there who have to.
Yes...school lunch veggie sticks!! Yummmmm
I need to see if my dollar tree has these potstickers, eggrolls, and spring rolls! They look great for the price.🎉
They are delicious. I put mine in the air fryer and dip in orange sauce.
Fry them. They're great.
Ryder has gorgeous hair!
And best quotes from this video:
“Smells like a hospital waiting room” and “Looks like an apocalyptic type food” 😂
I was suprised by the flavor from the freezer section. The beef & bean burrito was actually good! The sausage was good too. Perfect size for 1 .. 😊
I can’t get over “little buddy” being almost a head taller than you now lol!
I like your nails, and I noticed them immediately, you always are adorable and now you’re adorable and FANCY! Congrats on hitting 90,000 subscribers ❤
Sorry I had to edit, I kept getting errors, I think cuz I was referring to those hand pies by their proper name that starts with a J, and the YT police thought I was being a J lol
When we tried to take the thumbnail pic, he got too close to the camera and all we could see was me and his chin 😂 he’s is outgrowing Dusty and myself.
Thank you!!
LOL I love you guys! Truth tellers with good taste.
So love your taste test videos between you, your hubby and children! Love watching ya’ll! Honestly been so chicken to try these frozen foods! Thanks for sharing your opinions
Thank you so much for sacrificing yourselves on this food. Now I don’t have to taste it myself! Love you!❤️
I absolutely love your nails! I had those nails and I was like...how I use my hand now? 😆Love your taste testing videos ❤ Do it more often it is so much fun! The Jamaican meat pies are actually delicious if you make it from scratch so you should give it an other chance that way
Also love, love your shirt! Big Dolly fan!
I have had the pot stickers, egg rolls and spring rolls from the Dollar Tree. I like all three. Haven't tried the others. I am scared 😂.
I’m so thankful, you showed the Country ham, I love it and it’s not easy to find! Happy dance. Thank you!
We just love y'all. Ryder loves his Mama and that just warms our heart. He reminds us of our Jackson. Thank you!
Carl and Tamara Swicegood
This is the funniest video! Loved it! ❤
i LOVE the vanilla icecream from dollar tree, soo smooth and sweet
I am so very proud of you Brooke! Congrtatulations on 90.2k Subscribers you deserve it you have such a loving and genuine spirit. Thank you and Ryder for trying the Dollar tree frozen food. Ryder has cool hair.
Butter pecan it's my favorite too
I love your channel! You’re always in a good mood and you brighten my day! Your reaction to some things had me in stitches! 😂
Y’all crack me up! Thank you for sharing these experiences.
Hey Brooke, The jerk patties are the bomb. I love the one that comes in the package because that one hot. Sorry that you guys didn’t like them.
I think it's because she hasn't had that kind of flavor before I like them.
I love their potstickers, dumplings. Eat them all the time.
Hilarious, you're so funny! I've wanted to try all those things. I like how you compare it to school food... good times!
My mom and I always watch you! We actually refer to you as ‘Brooke’, like we’re friends lol! We both are pro McRib lol
Stumbled across you a few days ago, watched a few videos n’ I’m hooked now! You’re so refreshing lol so real! I definitely enjoy watching this video with you and your son. Watching your kids rate your food is great too.
I am not a fan of any chicken turn over. However the beef Jamaican patties, those are my absolute favorite for my childhood. We had Puerto Rican, Jamaican, Dominican, Cuban in many other nationality neighbors when I lived in South Florida. And they taught this little Irish Polish girl how to eat good. Amazing food. And those Jamaican meat pies, although not as good as fresh, or a staple and delicious meal in my childhood.❤
That’s so funny. I grew up in south Florida too (broward) I’m also Irish and polish with a little bit of Russian thrown in and a friend took me to a little Jamaican shop with fresh Jamaican beef patties and I was blown away by how good they were. I’ve never tried any frozen I don’t think. It was the same when I discovered empanadas lol
@@carolyne8797 Broward for me also 😊
That was fun, 🎉Brooke. thanks for sharing with us
The coffee ice cream is awesome.
Those spring rolls are BOMB!!!❤
I love mcribs! The eggroll and pot stickers are really good! Haven't tried any of the others
I love the spring rolls they are good
I really do like seeing your kids in the videos. They crack me up. 😂 ❤ thank you the laughter.
You crack me up!!! 😂❤❤ I love you!! This taste testing video is my favorite. Please do more because it's so hard living on cheap groceries but can't afford expensive.
My son used to get the meals, hot pockets, pizzas and pizza rolls. He liked them. I like the pretend McRibs and the pot pies.
Congrats on the 90k 💟 been watching you almost everyday for a couple weeks and your sub count goes up every single time I watch you!!! 💟
Those eggrolls are soooo good! And BIG, I take one for my work lunches often. I feel like they used to be just a little bigger though. (been getting them for awhile, since DT was a $1.) 😂😅
This was a great video! I hope you do more of these taste test videos.
I am watching from South Africa, so we also don't have those stores here, but I also just love your videos, keep doing what you're doing, love your family too. You guys are so down to earth and good people. God bless you all.❤
Seriously, cook up those spring rolls in the air fryer. They're AMAZING!!!
Randomly scrolling through my TH-cam come across your video as an Aussie. Thoroughly enjoy your channel and enjoy your Southern accent!🤩
Thanks for the yum yum sauce I love it! ❤
Thank you for an interesting video! Love that you and Ryder tried to keep an open mind! ♥️🇺🇸♥️
I love the bbq chicken sand and the cheeseburger and the spicy chicken is goo too! 🎉 add condiments and onion slice. 🎉
Great and funny video i loved watching this with you and your son amd and its fun watching food testing videos 😁
I really like the country ham slices from the dollar tree. Thanks bestie for this video
Thank you for helping me make good choices.
FINALLY!!!! Somebody at last agrees with me about those darned meat pockets!! Everyone and their mama loved them and although I didn't have as much a visceral reaction as you guys did, the boy copies you I think, but nonetheless, it's not great. I bet you it would be good deep fried or pan fried. I think that's how they would do it normally. If you ever had native fry bread you know what I mean.
Fried they're delish
I don't think Ryder follows his mom. I think he gives an honest opinion because he lives foods, different kinds, and has loved things in the past his mom wasn't fond of.
I love both egg roll and spring roll
this was too funny and wonderfully realistic..... love it
Spring rolls,fabulous
I grew up on those fast bites! Back then they were called micromagic and they were a lot better then they are now. The grilled chicken and cheese burger sliders are my favorite. Idk why but for some reason the smaller sliders taste better then the larger cheeseburger.
It's not the greatest but if you throw on some ketchup, mayo and some extra cheese it definitely gets the job done if you need something quick and cheap.
LOVE THE PURPLE CURTAINS AND VASE 💜
Yes I loved the spring rolls and egg rolls too ❤️
Those egg rolls in the air fryer are yummy!!
I am disabled and definitely on a budget and so happy I came across your videos!!
Brook thank you for sharing this and God Bless you and your family 🙏
Spring rolls are the bomb! I could eat the whole tray cause they're small & only 10 ct. But I restrain myself to 5 & a salad. 👍 My store just doesn't carry them anymore 😭
I love McRibs. I don’t get them every time they come out, but I do like them sometimes I tell him to leave the fresh onion off and I just like him with the dill pickle, but I like them.
The spring rolls are great. I use them a lot for parties, and they’re the first thing to run out.
Yah, my DT stopped carrying them and now sells a $5 bag of egg rolls instead. I have searched the internet for a source from which to buy those spring rolls with no success. I need them, they're one of my favorite foods. I'm really sad about the spring rolls being gone.
@@cathytuffley5472try buying the Oncorr frozen BBQ ribs in the family size entree. They are almost exactly like the McRib patties. You get 6 for under $4.00.
Love the potstickers….have not seen them recently
Awesome video,
I absolutely love the fact you did this. So I will buy what you said and check it out because dollar tree is my first shop.
lordy i love your vids i didn't realize i was poor growing up til i seen your vids lol, a lot of your stuff was what we ate daily and i still eat but i am a good bit older surely you have a good bean cake one nothing like a bean cake sandwich with mustard
Hey Momma!! Those girly nails look beautiful on your beautiful hands ❤
Go girl!! Get yourself some trendy nailpolish. 😊
What a fun video 😊.
I love their orange sherbet
Your son always such a pleasure! He loves his Momma! ❤
I love the spring rolls from DT. I cook mine in the air fryer and they taste like you get in a restaurant.
the chicken bar b que sandwich is good if you add bar b que sauce on it and some lettuce and tomato. I like the egg roll.
Thank you so much for doing this, Bestie! I've always wanted to know, but haven't been brave enough 😂
thx brooke i had fun watching you and ryder taste testing the dollar tree foods do more shows like this as it's a nice change from your cooking shows thx again to you and ryder as you both are brave souls lol
