It's so terrible just how high food prices have risen. The one thing we all need to do to survive - eat. I think we'll be very full and happy with your budget recipes. They do not look cheap. Blessings to you Julia and your family!
AGREE LOOKS GREAT.
It's where you shop and what you buy. Store brands are just as good as name brands.
@@Penguinluvr68 even the store brand prices have gone up
@@Penguinluvr68 My Wal-Mart doesn't even carry generic mac and cheese anymore, only Annie's and Kraft.
@@giannaswafford930 Yes, and there are some things you just can't even find anymore.
As one mom to another, the fact that u went through the motions to do this for people who are trying to stay under their increasingly pinched budgets is so appreciated. I enjoy your videos. Thank you
Oh! Thank you so very much for that positive comment. I sure do appreciate it😀
Just in case anyone doesn't have the seasonings, a pack of taco seasoning is only $0.44 at my Walmart, so you'd still be in the $5 range for the pasta and the soup :)
Amanda taco seasoning is only 39 cents at Aldi I made a few of these meals and Aldi is even cheaper than Walmart
Cool, thank you for sharing
this is when your friends that tease you for keeping extra packets anytime you've gotten takeout as a group or whatever are wrong lol
These are perfect recipes for me Julia!! Since my Mom passed away in December from pancreatitis cancer my siblings and I have been making lots of meals to help feed my Dad. I will definitely me making these this coming weekend to meal prep for my Dad. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes and for making them so budget friendly. Your my number one go to for all my meal planning. So thankful for you!! Stay safe and be well Sister 💚
I am so sorry to hear about your mother Julee. I am sure your dad really does appreciate the meals that your family brings to him! I sure hope he enjoys some of these recipes. Thank you so much for watching😀
Sorry for your loss.
I am sorry for your loss of your mother
🙏😘💕
I am sorry for your loss.
First time watching as I'm disabled and have problems standing to make a large meal. These are quick, easy and light on the pocket book. The thing I really love that I haven't seen on other channels is you have the recipes posted so I don't have to be writing like a fiend trying to get all the recipes down. I live alone and can stretch these meals even further. When I do cook I make a big pot and freeze. Than you so much. Cheers from 🇨🇦. I've like and subscribe and look forward to more dishes
Thank you so very much Vannessa for all of that positive feedback and input. I sure do appreciate you and your support! I am so glad you find my channel so helpful. Thank you so much and have a wonderful weekend!😀
Your such a wonderful cook. It feels so good to see a young person doing such great 🏠🏡🏡 home cooking. And knowing how to save. You give us old people hope for humanity , you Lady. Keep on going. You got this.
God bless you and your family.
Thank you so very much for those nice words Mandy! I sure do appreciate it. You made my day💜💜
I never thought about mixing Alfredo sauce with tomatoes/tomato sauce, but I'll try it sometime. 👍👍
Oh, it"s sooooo delicious, I've been doing that for years...! Tasty!
I know I was shook too 😆 I was like wait I can do that?!!
It’s called rosé sauce 🤤❤️🙏🏽
@@rosasoflotoak7794 I thought the same thing! 😀
@@tasiagraham9655 never heard of that one before, thanks! 😄
Promise when you come out with a cookbook it will be called “A Really Good Stir!” ♥️♥️
All of these look so good! I love ground turkey, my hubby and daughter act like they can tell a difference..🙄🤣
Love it Really Good Stir!!! Perfect
That’s a great idea Kirsten! Ha ha! i’m so glad that you can sneak in ground turkey😀
Or "So So Good" :)
Comfort Food to the Max
I want one when you get there!!!! 😎❤
I love all your recipes !!! You keep the recipes so simple, in expensive and vegetable friendly. You’re such a breath of fresh air for some of us who aren’t very good with coming up with different recipes. Thank you 😊
Thank you so very much Patrice😀
Something really good to add to the corn muffins is to add a small can of creamed corn instead of the liquid. Trust me, they are wonderful!
Yeah....and if you happen to have it on hand....Some mozzarella cheese, or something spicier if you like. Add both in-between the layers!
SO GOOD!!!!!! 😁😋
I also add bell peppers and cheese to the corn muffins helps to stretch the batter and my Husband and our son love em.
That sounds amazing!
My family kept complaining that the cornbread was too crumbly and dry, so I too added 1 can of cream of corn, and about 1/2 to 1 cup of sour cream. It makes it moist and holds together and no one complaines any more! Sometimes, I'll even add a tsp to 1 tsb of sugar added to make it sweet cornbread!
I got so excited about the ziti recipe because I’ve been making that exact recipe for almost two years! I’m the only one who eats it and it lasts me for three days (lunch and dinner). It’s so so good
i don’t know why but watching your videos is so comforting to me
I need to start using cornbread more as a base for meals. It’s so cheap, filling and versatile. Thanks for the great ideas!
I LOVE cornbread
Buy a container of corn meal simple to use and good
I love the Jiffy mix didn't know they had it with honey though I'm gonna have to try it
They have that one and plain, I like the honey one when I make corn casserole so tasty
They didn’t used to Linda! Thank you so much for watching😀
Julie, thank you. I am glad my mom taught me to budget cook. These days it's become a necessity. Shared
Thank you so very much for watching. I bet you are happy right now that your mom taught you how to save so well😉things have gotten crazy!
@@JuliaPacheco Yes, I am. I have had to regroup a bit from what was normal to what is now.
We’re a soon to be family of six and I’m desperately trying to get the hang of meal prepping and cooking for a bigger family, you have helped us SO much. I am sitting in my comfy rocking chair taking down notes for these amazing recipes for my shopping trip this weekend. I’m actually excited to grocery shop and I actually hate shopping! 😆 thank you for sharing these 🙏
I am so glad that these recipes can help you so much! And congratulations on your newest baby! That’s awesome😀
Fabulous as always. For those that have a DollarTree handy...you can get canned Prego alfredo sauce there...at mine, anyway. Saves about .86 cents on the sauce...can offset price of cheese... Thanks Julia!!
These are such great ideas for right before payday! I love how you organized this video with the ingredients being picked up at the store before each recipe. So helpful when we all need budget friendly and easy during these busy days! Thank you again!!! :)
Thank you so much for that feedback Laura! I sure do appreciate it😀
I like how you are actually going in to the store and showing what to buy and keep it real
So glad I tried the baked ziti ! My whole family loved it ! Even my son who is a picky eater and rarely eats pasta . I even added some frozen spinach and mushrooms I had on hand and the whole family had 3rds ! Thank you for these recipes!
Well that’s awesome! I am so very glad it was a hit with your family. Have a wonderful rest of your week and thanks so much for the positive feedback🙌🏼
I also want to thank you for explaining the per ounce prices. I think this is very important when people are looking at going shopping and buying ingredients to do meal planning when you’re trying to be on a budget. So very appreciative of the added information.
Great ideas Julia. I’m sure during these times this will help a lot of people ❤️❤️❤️. Loved seeing the baby bump 🍼💕
Thank you so much Patricia! I sure appreciate your kind words💜
You are such a joy to watch. Many young women these days do not cook for their families. I love that you have so many ideas and cook good, healthy food for your family.
Thank you so very much! I sure do appreciate that😀
Thank you Julia for these budget friendly meals. They are so needed right now. Homemade cream celery soup is super cheap and so good too.
Yum! That sure does sound good Trish during these winter months💜
Eggs have definitely gone up especially if we want the good quality ones. Some great economical ideas and awesome dishes Julia ☺️
Thank you so much Patti😀
Thank you, Julia! Everything looks so good. We eat more turkey than ground beef anyway so these are great. Have a blessed day! xoxo
Is it less expensive? Meat is crazy expensive now. I'll have to try ground turkey.
@@nicolesamsonite Yes, and we find with chili, taco spices and pasta sauces it tastes better. We cook for my mom and since she's stopped eating ground beef. Have a great day!💗
As a future mom, finding you has been such a blessing! Thank you! I feel ore confident that when this baby comes I'm gonna be okay!
Oh! Thank you so very much for that wonderful compliment, Mary. I sure do appreciate your feedback. And congratulations on your upcoming baby!😀😀
That Mac & cheese plus the soup recipe is going on the menu next week. Who am I kidding?? Probably this week. I love that your recipes are quick and budget friendly. I have all the stuff on hand for all of them & I love that too. I appreciate all the great recipes!!! Have a great day!! ❤️
Thank you so much Dawn😀 sure hope you enjoy them!
Hi Julia! So excited to try these recipes! I love your cookware. It’s always so colorful and bright. Take care. ❤️
with the meatballs you can stretch it by adding oatmeal and an egg - it can double your meatballs 😃 When I was raising my sons I used the same pasta sauce and would add more seasonings
Great idea! Thanks for watching😀
What I love about you is that you are so creative! Every time I watch your videos I keep wondering how you keep getting more and more creative! lol. I Not only love your videos because of your creativity but you help all of us who are struggling with meals on a budget! Thank you so much! God Bless you and yours!
Oh! Thank you so very much Heidi. That doesn’t mean a lot to me. I do have to work pretty hard at it though😉 but it is all worth it in the end when I hear from people like you!
This is exactly what I needed! I have a gluten intolerance, so a box of gluten free pasta is about $3 and a bag of gluten free bread can be about $7. I spend so much money on meals because I have no other choice and usually I find myself scraping around for pennies by the end of the week. These meals have easy gluten free swaps that won’t break the bank. Thank you so much for sharing this video 💕
I am so glad they work for you in your gluten-free diet! Thank you so much for your comment Leslie. I sure do appreciate the positive feedback😀
What great budget friendly meals . They all look so delicious.
Homemade cornmeal bread/muffins are so much better than the Jiffy mix. I use the recipe on the back of the cornmeal box and bake in a greased 8×8 pan. Cut in squares and slice each square across middle, add butter and honey or maple syrup. Great for breakfast too.
The white pan set with gold hardware is so beautiful! I hope it will stay crisp and white forever for you. 🤍⚪⚪
Oh! Thank you so very much. It definitely has held up pretty well considering how much I cook! Ha ha. I appreciate your positive comment and have a great week🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love that you do budget friendly but with common items and food my family will eat.
Hi Julia!🙂 I love these 5 dollar meals it's so crazy how prices are going up when going food shopping but the store brands are just as good 👍thanks for these great recipes and the great tips when food shopping 🙂💖🌺🌻 Have a Great Day!!!
Thank you so much Gabriella! I sure do appreciate that😀
Love Love $5 meals! Everything looks delicious as always! Have a great day Julia 😊
I’m always excited when I see new videos 🙌🏼🙌🏼 thank you & Happy Sunday 🙏🏼
The baked Ziti was so good! Your channel is one of the best in this category on You Tube! Thank you for sharing your videos!
Thank you so very much for that wonderful compliment! I sure do appreciate you watching for sure🙌🏼
When you picked up the eggs and said they were expensive I wanted to cry. Everything was such a good price! Cheapest eggs here are $4.99 for a large dozen
Where do you live? In Cleveland we can often get eggs for less than $2.00 a dozen.
In Maryland ours are about the same, it's coming down though but some 18 packs are nearly $6.
Great recipes, Julia! I always look forward to your videos. I can easily incorporate these recipes into my menu rotations. Thank you!
Thank you we sure need budget recipes
I love that all ingredients are something I keep stock of in my pantry! So easy for a quick meal.
I have always LOVED the Hunt’s brand spaghetti sauce. Garlic and Herb is my fave as well as the Four Cheese, Traditional and the Meat flavored. 😉 I add a small touch of Italian dressing to the sauce, it makes it taste more homemade. Learned that trick from Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade food show.😊
Oh! That’s a great tip. Thank you so very much for watching😀
My favorite was always Del Monte for flavor, but I can't find it anymore! cry-cry....
I'm definitely going to have to try your turkey meatball recipe. It looks delicious!
Thank you so much Katelyn I sure hope you enjoy it!😀
Julia I really enjoyed how you kept things budget friendly. They all looked flavorful. I will be trying the ziti dish and add Italian sausages with it .
Not all heroes wear capes! Thanks Julia! These look yummy and affordable ❤
Ha ha! Thank you so very much, Daphne. You’re so kind. Have a wonderful rest of your day and thanks for watching💜🙌🏼
Thank you for doing this video. This really is helpful in planning a few inexpensive meals to have during the week. All of these recipes are simple and very family friendly. You’ve just made my grocery buying easier, cheeper and less stressful!🤗
That’s so awesome! Thank you so much for sharing😀
Thank you for this one. Definitely more of these money saving recipes please. They all look amazing!
Thank you so very much Rosa😀
Thanks for all your budget friendly meal ideas! God bless you and your growing family (loved the shot of the baby bump)🤗
With the cost of food, chefs and videos like these are ever more important to feeding family on a budget
Oh girl I have more dinners to try for my family. My Nieces and nephews will love this with some homemade garlic bread. Thank so much for sharing with us.
That’s wonderful Karen! Sure hope they enjoy😀
@@JuliaPacheco Thank you
Ooh been a minute since an extreme budget video. Love it, Julia! Hope you and your family are well🤍
Thanks so much Jackelyn💜
I watch for your delicious recipes and fun side ideas that spark my creativity, but I am uplifted by your signs. Gosh, the sweet sayings are what I need after dealing with all the stress going on, and worrying about people around the world right now. Thank you for your thoughtful content and for being a shining light right now.
Oh, thank you so very much for the kind compliment! That really does mean the world to me. I love those little signs! The wonderful rest of your weekend!😀
This was truly a great video showing items you got at the store, price breakdown, and then making. Some delicious ideas on a budget!!!
A can of chicken in the baked Ziti would be yummy also.
Wow that first meal alone here in ON Canada is $10 - crazy the cost difference! These all look yummy.
I was thinking the same thing! A can of Hunts Tomato Sauce at my local Walmart is $1.97.
@@misscooper5364 yep and $2.77 turkey hahaha NOPE!
So different there! I am so sorry 😞
@@JuliaPacheco Yes, our food prices are a lot higher but that's why watching videos like yours is so helpful. Our costs are different but it's still great to find some inexpensive ideas to help stretch the budget.
@@JuliaPacheco not your fault :) everything is expensive here almost double or triple your prices. I still make the meals :). Gotta eat :)
When we hit a budget block you are the first person I turn to for delicious filling recipes!! Seriously, you save me all the time!! Thank you for sharing your cooking wisdom!! My family loves your recipes!! ❤️❤️🥰🥰
Oh! That is just awesome Brooke! So very glad to hear that💜💜
Love these inexpensive meal ideas. My food prices here in NJ have skyrocketed !! I will definitely be making these 5 dollar meals. Thank you Julia !! Hope you’re feeling well. Have a blessed week. 🥰😇💜💛
Great ideas, also here in Belgium price goes up for everything! I have to use your ideas 1 or 2 times per week, because they are all pasta/tomato/ ground turkey ... husband and kids doesn't like to eat a lot of the same things day after day.... but you always give me inspiration! I loved the video with the one pot meals to !!
Indeed it has been crazy! My weekly grocery shopping for 2ppl increased on average by 30eur buying the same stuff :/
Thank you so very much for your comments! And thank you so much for watching all the way from Belgium😉💜
I make something like your egg bake, but I add cheese on top and sometimes put zucchini and onion in to bulk it up for a dinner
Katz... I was thinking the same thing. There are so many variations that can be made. Just start with eggs.
Thank you so much Kate!😀
Can not wait to try these recipes and super simple and easy to make. My family loves them. Thank you Julia❤️
I’m rewatching all your delicious videos and I’m going to make them all month long. Thank you for making my cooking time quick and easy during my busiest time of the season.
Don't you just love when your favorite TH-camr has the same baking dish or something you have 🤩
Ha ha! That is awesome! Thank you so much for watching and making me your favorite TH-camr😉💜
Julia, I love your recipes! They’re tasty healthy… by using reduced fat and light you can still eat this if you’re watching your weight (🙋🏻♀️). thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Sandy! And thank you for adding that. So glad that you can make those adjustments. I am sure many others would like to as well😉
Thank you so much for this! It is so hard to feed a family on a budget these days. Your videos are greatly appreciated!!
Thanks Julia for sharing these Inexpensive meals and they look Absolutely DELICIOUS!!😋
I love how truly FAST and easy your recipes are! Thank you❣
Thank you so very much Faye😀
Thanks for this budget friendly meal menu. Such a great time to see what can be done on a tight budget!
Thank you so much Jeri
Wow, girl you are blowing it right out of the park with these recipes, thank you so much, you are well appreciated and Keep them coming 🙏🏼🥰🤗😘
I love that you make these videos for inexpensive meals. I think we have all have to stretch our food budgets lately. Thanks for all you do, Julia!!
Thank you so very much I sure do appreciate that feedback!😀
Thank you for these videos! Father of 2 and soon to be 3. Started shopping differently to get more bang for my buck. These recipes look very delicious 😋
I sure am glad you find so many recipes that your family can use! Thank you so much for watching and congratulations on you and your wife’s third baby😀
Had our first child August 2021, baby girl, and it is incredible how quick the bills add up. I have been trying to find quick, simple, inexpensive recipes but most videos are Lord of the Rings length...haha. Your channel is amazing and is helping us so much right now with these prices being so high. We are having these dinners set for the same day each week. Thank you!!!!!!
That is so very true! Once you have a baby, the expenses are so much higher. I sure hope you find some of these recipes helpful to you and your family! Thank you so very much for your support and have a wonderful rest of your week😀
Thank you so much for sharing the turkey meatballs recipe. I will make it this weekend for my kids. So glad I found your channel!
Thank you so very much Sue hope you all enjoy it😀
Grocery prices are completely out of hand! Thank You for these delicious ideas ❤️
Thank you so much Janice! They sure have gone up!
Even though these $5 meals are easily over $10 where I live, they are great ideas and I appreciate you sharing them. Thank you :)
Thank you so much for sharing these videos! I’m sure you’ve made such a difference for people who are on a tight budget🙏🏼❤️
I use ground turkey for a lot of dishes. I do use ground beef for burger night. I really love pasta dinners it really does stretch meal and it’s winter . So thank you for the tips and recipes, I do make a lot of these.
Thank you Lord for this hack and everything and everyone in this beautiful universe
I'm happy you have this type of channel because we all need to budget thank you
These are all so great and budget friendly. Thank you!
Julia, great budget friendly meal ideas with lots of flavor!
What great meals! Thank you so much for putting these together!
I remember when I was young and my mother struggled to make ends meat. But she always managed to make a healthy meal for us to eat on a tight budget. These recipies will help many people think outside the traditional box to find ways to make well balanced and healthy meals on a budget. Very good job!
Sounds like she was a good example to you, Cynthia. Thank you so much for your positive feedback😀
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for sharing these budget friendly recipes! My husband recently had to go to the ER and had surgery and we have to tighten up in all spending to pay for those bills... I will be making all of these very soon!
Thank you so very much and I am so sorry to hear that your husband had to have surgery! I do hope that these help as you try to budget and focus a little bit more on how much you spend. Sure hope he gets better soon and thank you so very much for watching💜💜
I love to add a can of green chilis to my corn muffin mix. Thanks again for all the great recipes!
I am very appreciative of you also being aware that as much as a budget is necessary that we do still want to eat things that have flavor and spice and bring something pleasant because food is also about enjoyment not just survival. Thank you as always and FYI I used the previous frozen bread dough recipes to make the garlic bread in the cinnamon rolls… My family went berserk they absolutely loved it! The little one so much love the garlic bread! Thank you again as normal great videos.
That’s awesome Shay! So happy everyone likes the recipes so much. And thank you so much for your feedback. Have a great rest of your week😀
The best of the best out there is definitely you. THANK YOU!
Oh! Thank you so very much for that sweet compliment😀😀
Thank you for the ideas! Your recipes always look so good 🙂
You're so sweet and genuine. Your videos are helpful and relaxing.
Thanks so very much for that very kind compliment, Tiffany! That means a lot to me😉💜
Thank you for sharing these recipes. The prices have definitely skyrocketed. I can't wait to try these! 🦋
I love your videos Julia! So many great recipes that are perfect for everyday life cooking 💕
Thank you so very much Shelby😀
I coordinate my church’s food pantry and shop frequently for it. I buy the Great Value box of spaghetti. It contains 4 packages and cost only $2 making it cheaper than buying 4 individual packages at $1.
That’s a great tip Claudine! What a great service you do for your church! Thank you so much for watching😀
THANK YOU 💓😘 😘😊 You are Brilliant! In this day and time people need all the help you can get!
Thank you so very much Amy for that positive feedback! I really do appreciate that😀
These recipes are all awesome and so few ingredients! I really love the tomato sauce you use--we use it a lot too. Thank you so much for these, Julia! Take Care! Blessings!🙏💕
Thank you so very much Michelle! You and your family take care as well😀
I always like it when you say to use what we have on hand… 🙇🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
You have the best recipes and the best how to videos...straight to the point. No excessive talking or chopping and a complete list of ingredients. Love your channel and delicious recipes. Thank you for sharing!!!
Than you for the time stamps and the recipes! 🎉
Thank you. Of course in Hawaii prices are a lot more still appreciate and grateful for "any and all" tips and suggestions. Lucky for me I live alone so these meals will stretch and feed me for well over a single meal...that is where my savings is. Take care.
