      It definitely can make a budget a bit easier to work with when meat is no longer needed to be factored in. I hope to do more videos like this in the future. Thanks for your feedback! I hope you're having a wonderful week! 🥰

    I'm a vegan, my boyfriend isn't so the ideas of yours I'll veganize mine and keep his to your original recipies.
    I like lentil/grain burgers, lentil meatloaf, veggie bean stir frys, gnocchi, black bean burgers, burritos, lentil sloppy joes, chili, I feel like a vegan Bubba Gump haha but, vegan proteins are wonderful.

    • @rachelresets
      @rachelresets  ปีที่แล้ว

      Very true! They are so much cheaper than meat too. I've found I enjoy chickpeas more than I thought I would if I cook them certain ways. Thanks for watching! 🥰

    • @rachelresets
      @rachelresets  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you! I'm enjoying seeing what I can make with fewer options as Dollar Tree has fewer options than other bigger stores like Walmart. It definitely helps me get more creative! Thanks for watching! 🥰

    Would be great without the background music. It is very hard to watch videos with music.

    • @rachelresets
      @rachelresets  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm sorry the music was distracting, and thank you for letting me know. Sometimes it's hard to keep music soft enough in videos, so I appreciate the feedback so I can improve future videos. Thank you for watching! 😊

    • @breezybre2670

      @@rachelresets I believe most of the best you tube videos have no music. We come to listen to to your awesome content.:)

    • @rachelresets
      @rachelresets  ปีที่แล้ว

      Aw, thank you! I like a little bit of music, but I will definitely note to turn it down even more in my next video 😉 ❤️

    Rachel what a great video ☺️. Thank you for sharing. What size bag were the lentils? I noticed my Dollar Tree just stocked up and the dried beans are now 12 oz and not 16. They keep shrinking their packaging.

    • @rachelresets
      @rachelresets  ปีที่แล้ว

      My Dollar Tree is still stocking 16oz bags of lentils, although I'm not sure of what size they carry of beans (I don't use those very often). I know what you mean about the shrink-flation. I have a list I made in college of how much everything cost at Aldi, my store of choice back then, and looking at that list makes me realize how good I had it back then. 🥲 Thanks for watching!! I hope you're having a wonderful week!

    Really great meals for $1.25 each.
    Ack, we got hit with the watery ground beef a few days ago from Walmart. I'd made nice big burger buns so made nice big patties. The minute the patties were in the skillet, they shrank to little bitty 2" blobs. Most aggravating, grrr. Cut the buns to 1/4th, ugh. I'd heard others were having the same problems so watch out, friends.

    • @rachelresets
      @rachelresets  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Man, I hate when that happens! 😒 Meat is already so expensive, so it stinks when it shrinks like that. I hope your next batch of ground beef is better! 🤞

    • @rachelresets
      @rachelresets  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh no! What did they put more of instead, I wonder? I've definitely had to modify certain meals based on what the frozen veggies mixes have held. I hope you were still able to make something delicious! 🥰
