Dollar Tree Thanksgiving Dinner from Scratch?!

  • I wanted to see if it was possible to make a thanksgiving dinner from scratch with ingredients from Dollar Tree. I shopped at 3 different Dollar Tree locations, I cooked for 2 days, and if you had to buy everything the total came out to about $75, but honestly, we ended up with a pretty spectacular meal that I personally feel like nobody would ever know was made entirely from Dollar Tree.

      I was talking with my husband about everything.. told him I’m too pregnant and working too much with having to come home and cook dinner and deal with the toddler, I wasn’t up for cooking this year. we ordered from Cracker Barrel the take home dinner for $150. I told him it was very nice to have everything prepped. If I had done it all I probably would have spent way more than that and still had a lot of prep to do. Everything tasted really good. No dry chicken breast. We might do this again.

      ⁠@@DollarTreeDinnersyes but keep in mind you spent more bc the challenge was cooking from scratch. If you had just bought potato flakes, prepared pie crust, box stuffing, a can cream of mushroom and green beans, velveeta or box Mac cheese etc you would have saved more than $20. Plus most folks have seasoning, sugar, milk, eggs, butter or flour in the pantry. So it’s possible to make all this for $50 or less! I’m nuts so I did my own list and with the minimal ingredients I came up with about $28 including tax!

    You did a great job and truthfully $75.00 for a Thsnksgiving , Christmas or any special occasion meal is not to much especially considering the large stay of delicious food you made !! The only suggestion I would make to save money is to use a couple of boxes of boxed Mac and cheese snd make a smaller amount of cheese sauce maybe 1/2 as much and mix in with the boxed Mac and cheese after it’s made and just mix in the additional cheese sauce ! And if you make sweet potato casserole in place of the pumpkin pie you could use the left over puréed pineapple in with the sweet potatoes ! But I think you did a great job with your meal it all looked delicious !! I hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving surrounded by loved ones !! 🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈

      First off, I wanted to start by saying thank you for your service! I am no expert by any means, but I would advise against believing that shopping at Dollar Tree (or any other dollar store) will save you money. Grocery stores have a lot of decent sales, and sometimes you can get canned goods at 2 or 3 (or sometimes 5 or more) for a buck or two. Also, the quantities at the Dollar Tree will be small, and the quality won’t always be top-notch. I have nothing against Dollar Tree as I myself shop there. I just think it’s wise to know where to shop for certain items.

    I hope you and those you love have the best Thanksgiving ever. Enjoy knowing how much you have helped others feel that they had an abundant day. One thing that hurts about being poor is feeling a lack of happiness and excitement. Not seeing anything to celebrate.
    Not feeling poor leads to more gratitude which is of course Thanksgiving. I believe many more people will feel fed, grateful, and full of thanks bc of you. 🙂

I got box of stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, frozen veggies, dinner rolls and even a 2liter and reusable bag. All for around $20 after I bought gravy mix and turkey broth.

To me, christmas is just a repeat of thanksgiving, although, I would make turkey on thanksgiving and ham on christmas. thanks again! #smooth&creamy
    Edit: $75 usually buys you just your turkey, or ham. That is awesome that you were able to make THAT much food on $75. And feeding a lot of people at the same time. People would be full coming from your dollar tree thanksgiving, that is for sure.

    Happy Thanksgiving!!! Great idea with the frozen fries!
    Also: you should take that frozen pineapple mash and freeze it! You can eat it like shaved ice, or mix it into a pina colada!

    Fantastic video! I have never seen mashed potatoes from French fries but definitely going to try that! When your 66 and hands don't work the way they used too its great to have shortcuts in cooking. Everything looks delicious 😋 You have a great Thanksgiving with family and friends! God Bless! 😊

    Definitely going to use those fries for mashed potatoes. The meal looked like all from scratch and no one would know the difference. It's great to know that we ,those not willing to support over inflated prices, can have and enjoy the holidays along with friends and family and everyone goes home happy with a full belly. HAPPY Thanksgiving to all! 😊

  • @epiclink11
    @epiclink11 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I am seriously impressed. You really captured the "feeling" of the meal, and $75 is a wildly good price for a holiday meal like this. Especially the idea of the ham roses, just a wonderful way to elevate the meal even if someone doesn"t have access to a full ham or turkey. Just everything. Very well done.
    Just as a side tip, when you are doing the pie crust, and folding the edges of the crust just before you crimped the design into it- I like to fold the excess crust back, underneath itself instead of over like you did here. That is the only suggestion I could come up with over the whole video. Excellent job

    I’m from the Upper Midwest, and it wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I saw mac and cheese served at holiday meals; I just can’t get my mind around it. I’ll skip that. BUT I LOVE the ham roses-what a creative and pretty way to cook it! Can’t wait to try that 😸

      I was raised in the Midwest but have been in Texas the past 22 years and I've never seen mac and cheese for Thanksgiving either. Like you, I can't wrap my head around it or even why? This is the first year I've ever seen it on TH-cam. Although it looks tasty, it won't be gracing my Thanksgiving table. Lol. But she did an excellent job on the meal amd overall I was very impressed.

    Pineapple puree is wonderful in smoothies.
    Peel and chop half an English cucumber. Put in about 8-10 mint leaves, 1 cup baby spinach. Also put in a cup of pineapple puree, half a peeled and chopped pear, the juice of a lime and 1 teaspoon of honey.
    Start the blender and share a glass of smoothie with someone who appreciates good flavors :)
    Thank you very much for the work you do on this channel. You really mean something to so many.

You making cooking things from DT so fun and I count you as a real Chef 👩‍🍳 because most wouldn't even know how to take something like this and make it into a MASTERPIECE like you did! You are truly amazing girl not to mention you're soooo pretty to look lol 😅😊

    Fabulous job! Tip for pumpkin pies. Make your pumpkin pie batter in a microwave bowl. Microwave for 4-5 mins. It takes the chill off of the batter w/o cooking it. Pour into pie shell and bake. Cuts down the baking time and your pie crust is sure to be done.

  • @sarah_noodle
    @sarah_noodle 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I saw a 10-min from-scratch Mac and cheese recipe on TH-cam Shorts (I cannot remember the guy’s name), but it would be even easier than what you made. You boil the pasta in just enough water to cover it (the water evaporates off so you don’t even have to drain anything), then you add in your can of evaporated milk and however much cheese you want and melt it all together. It’s so easy and SOOOO good. It’s a nice change from Kraft/regular stovetop Mac and cheese, too!
    You can also do stuffing from scratch with cornbread that you make from the Jiffy mixes in the blue and white boxes.
