Food prices are increasing, but pay checks are not. I appreciate the serving suggestions, because portion control and not over eating is going to be key to keeping food budget costs down.
Thank you so much Lee. That is absolutely true. I am sure we could all cut back on a serving size right now too. That is a great suggestion and thank you so much for watching!😀
So true! Omg I can relate to that
Thanks to your boy JoeTato!!!
I survived an eating disorder and your comment is really irritating
@@Mauvelipstick I don't know you, so this comment wasn't meant to hurt you. That's something in you that you need to work on.
Thank you so much! My 16 yr old son made me pause the video, so that he could get paper and a pen to take notes..he said he will need this information for when he's on his own. Your work in creating these videos is invaluable..even to a 16 yr old boy! 👍👍
Wow! That is just awesome! Good for him. That is one smart boy . I sure do appreciate you sharing that and you can also find the links to my recipes in my description box. You should be able to find all of the ingredients and directions there. You can even print them out if you would like. Thank you so very much for watching and for your positive comment🙌🏼🙌🏼
that's so great that you're watching these together and helping him learn to cook! he's going to be 5 steps ahead when he's on his own because of you!!
Good for your son. If more young people were like him, there'd be a lot more independent young ones who can actually take care of themselves.
I also watch these videos with my 6 yr old grandson who is learning lots about cooking and budgeting.
This cost 2 xs more now!
This young man will be VERY frugal in the future if he's like this now. Thank you to Julia for these recipes and for helping ALL of us stretch a dollar.
A meal we had a lot when growing up...cut up hot dogs, brown in a skillet with butter, then pour in bbq sauce and simmer. Serve over mashed potatoes with either sweet peas or corn on the side, and cornbread 😁💜
Mmm that sounds good even as a summer bbq meal w/fresh sweet corn ;-)
Yummy! I will definitely try this budget and tummy friendly recipe! Thank you so very much. I love Hot dogs slices!
Hot dogs are like 6$/package where I live
@@britts661 I know. Like everything else, they've gotten outrageous, but you can get at least 4 meals out of a pack. And they are versatile.
Check for hot dog sales next week for Memorial Day, then grab a few.
I love what you are doing. While these do have some nutritional value, they most importantly have a high rank in the “where in the heck is my families next meal coming” from value. Many overestimate the amount of calories they need to survive in an emergency. What they need is a meal and hope. You provided both. Love you and thank you for all you do
Very true. I agree. Great comment.

$20 can fill your tummy or keep your gas tank just over empty. People on a fixed-income (everyone) have to plan ahead. Thank you Julia!
Absolutely! Very hard time right now for everyone for sure. Thank you so much for watching Denice😀
I do adore these realistic home cooking videos. This is the kind of stuff people will actually follow along with, especially when prices are so insane.
Thank you so very much for your positive feedback! I appreciate that so very much😉🙌🏼🙌🏼
Well if anyone can make a grocery inflation video cheerful, it’s you!! I think one of the challenges of these trying times is finding a way to still enjoy life each day. Loved it as always thanks Julia!
Well thank you so very much for that very kind compliment, Anita! I sure do appreciate that for sure. Thanks so very much for watching and for that positive comment😉💜
Well said Anita! I totally agree!!!!
I was thinking the same thing Anita!!! Julia’s personality is the best ❤️

Grocery List:
Cheddar Cheese, block
Ground turkey, 1 lb
Dried pinto beans, 1 lb
Large russet potatoes, 2
Carrots, large bag
Celery
White onion
Eggs, dozen
Great Value can of biscuits
Cream of mushroom soup
Rice
Tortillas
Ground Sausage, 1lb
Thank you for writing out the list so we can take a screenshot!
Super helpful thanks!
There's no way this would be 20 dollars from where am. It would be like 50 if not more
@@amandabee2246 I live in a pretty expensive area on the east coast and could get it for about $25-28
Adding those things to my Walmart pick-up order and price came to $22. Pretty close!
Both of my parents survived the Great Depression, and budget stretchers like these were still served when I was growing up. Thanks for the reminder! 👍
Thank you so very much for that feedback! Yes, my grandmother was too and talks a lot about what they had to do to survive during the depression.🙌🏼
Alright so I got the groceries! My total was slightly higher, ~25 because my walmart didn’t have any tubes of meat nor a small can of biscuits.
Made the turkey and potato casserole today and it turned out so good! Me, my husband and toddler all loved it! So excited to try the rest! You cannot beat these meals for the price!!
Well thank you so very much, Katelin, for doing that comparison and sharing that with us. I really do appreciate that and I’m so grateful that you enjoyed these recipes and that they could help you and your family. Have a wonderful rest of your week!💜💜
Yes, grocery prices are so high, it's ridiculous. Thanks for the delicious recipes, definitely going to try them. We plant a small garden with onions, carrots, red beets, tomatoes, green beans, and cucumbers. Going to can more this year than other years to try and save on the grocery bill. Have a great week Julia and thanks so much for the time that you put into making your videos of delicious recipes and sharing them! Best wishes for you and your family!
That is just awesome, Ginger! That is also a wonderful suggestion to help save money and The food is so much better too! Thank you so very much for watching😀
Girl who you telling. I paid almost $4 for a dozen eggs....just horrible
In my mexican household we eat scrambled eggs with hot dogs that have been sliced up and cooked together then we eat that with tortillas and if you have salsa or Valentina or ketchup. It's very good . We also do refried pinto beans (homemade beans)with Chorizo not the whole tube and eat that with tortillas and salsa lol. Just cheap but delicious things. Many more forsure. Thanks for helping me with ideas as well.
I noticed that 10oz of chorizo is only $1.40ish at my Walmart and I was trying to think of things to do with it because it's so cheap. I'm definitely going to try it with the pinto beans! Any other suggestions of things I could do with it?
@@MdnightWnd you could make a breakfast casserole with it for relatively cheap and it goes a long way..
I bag frozen potatoes (hash browns, fries, whatever is on sale works)
9 eggs
1/4 cup water
1 cup shredded cheese
1 pkg chorizo
Salt and pepper
Spray a baking dish and arrange your potatoes in a single layer, seasoning with a little salt and pepper
In a separate bowl, whisk your eggs, water and salt & pepper to your taste.
Cook up the chorizo in a frying pan until it's almost done, then pull from the heat. Sprinkle the chorizo evenly over potatoes, then pour the egg mix on top. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and bake at 375 for about 45-50 mins.
It can be eaten as a casserole or portioned out for breakfast burritos. I love to bake it as a meal prep breakfast so my family can have breakfast burritos for the week. 😊
@@angielyn6310 Oooo, that sounds good! Thank you! I'm definitely going to try that. I love a good breakfast casserole!
@@MdnightWnd can also scramble chorizo with eggs (cook chorizo first then add eggs) or potatoes for tacos or in a sandwich or burrito… yum
@@lilaperla Another good idea. Thank you! I'm really looking forward to trying all of them. They seem easy and cheap - which is a great combination, lol
i save drippings from any meats i cook in separate & distinct containers. One for Pork, One for beef, another for chicken (sometimes one for turkey) I've used the meat drippings for gravies, biscuits, soups, or to brown veggies in meatless meals, or to use in bean soups or stews to add some fat/flavor in!
Thank you so very much for that wonderful tip! I sure do appreciate it and it is a great way to save money too🙌🏼
Yup never waste the drippings. Thats calories and flavor.
Another tip. You can make your own cream soups with a basic white sauce (roux with milk), spices and adding mushrooms. It makes a bit more and you can save it for another recipe.
Thank you so very much Julia! You are so very right. Thank you so very much for sharing that with everyone! Have a wonderful rest of your week😀
If you're low on milk, could also add broth (like from a bullion cube) to make a sauce or gravy or just add extra flavor.
Loved all of your ideas. Growing up Mexican it was customary to have a taco de frijoles (bean tacos)
Just add the pinto beans to a pan with a little bit of oil, smash them through and serve on a tortilla with shredded chihuahua cheese or queso fresco. It is delicious and very fulfilling while on a budget.
Thank you so very much for sharing that, Ruby. That sounds amazing and you are so right, definitely a good way to save money. Have a great rest of your week and thanks for watching💜💜
Thank you, Julia for taking the time to share these videos because they are greatly needed. Please continue with more of this content even if they are not exactly $20.00. It is hard to stay in that lane with the growing food prices but as long as they are still budget friendly it would be so helpful to everyone.
Thank you so very much for that positive comment, Lorraine. I really do appreciate that feedback🙌🏼
Your meals always look yummy!!!!! Want to adopt, a 72 year old, lady!!!!! Keep up the great job, young lady!!!!
Ha ha! Thank you so much Virginia. I sure do appreciate your loyal support💜💜
@@JuliaPacheco ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Perfect example of buying only what you need and having a plan in place. Thank you so much!
Thank you so very much, Jessica💜
I love these grocery budget challenges. I use them for cleaning out my fridge/freezer/pantry because I usually have all of the ingredients on hand. I use them on the weeks I don’t feel like going to the grocery store and still want delicious meals on the table
That’s just awesome Kristy! I am always surprised too at what I actually have in my pantry🙌🏼
It's amazing what you did with $20.00! The meals all looked good! Will be giving them a try . . . thanks Julia!👍
Thank you so very much😀
Hi Julia, thanks for sharing these budget friendly recipes with us. Food prices are SO ridiculous now it's not even funny. I can't believe I'm 74 years old and never had a pinto bean, I think it's about time we tried them. Give those babies a hug for me. Stay well and safe.
You definitely do not live in Texas. Pinto beans are a staple here. LOL
Pinto beans are my favorite. Season them well and you won't be sorry.
@@donnaleeclubb119 No from NJ now Pa they sell them in both states by I still never had them anywhere. Will give them a try.
@@omaerin3529 Oh, I am sure they are sold in all 50 states, but here in South Texas, they are served with just about every Mexican meal you order. LOL
Can you cook them in instant pot?
I would add to your soup mushrooms if the budget allows. Mushrooms have a "meaty" feel in the mouth. I also add to my soup just about anything left over that is on the verge of being unusable, tomatoes that are over ripe, fresh spinach that does not have much life left and must be eaten. If your meal plan is to make a soup, small canned corn, peas, beans can be purchased very cheaply or from a food bank and can really add to that soup. Soups are one of my most budget friendly meals. To make corn bread to go with it rather than crackers is also very filling. This was one of our "poor meals" growing up. My parents had 4 kids to feed. Soup and sliced cornbread was a regular item.
Do you have a favorite cornbread recipe?
These are all great suggestions to add! Thank you so very much for that😀
I had to do a lot of creative cooking when my kids were little due to budget issues, and I found that some of the most delish meals I made were at those times lol. Funny thing is my kids will even say this to this day! These are great ideas ♥
I am sure you did! Thank you so much for watching 😀
You’re so smart, Julia. I’ve watched a lot of videos on what you can do with $20 and your recipes give the most variety! I hope you know how appreciated you are. 😍🥰
Well thank you so very much, Kerrie💜💜 that is so very kind of you and I sure do appreciate that positive comment for sure. Thank you so very much for watching and thank you so much for your support😉💜
I've watched a bunch of these "budget meals" videos and honestly, yours are some of the best...a lot of the other meals look very unappetizing or you end up eating the same thing for every meal, but you manage to put together meals that my family would actually eat, and there is variety! Great work!
Well thank you so very much Allegra💜💜 that is just such a wonderful compliment. I sure do appreciate the positive feedback!
Wonderful meal ideas, Julia, especially that they're so budget- friendly! Thank you!
You showed us again how to shop and prepare budget friendly nutritious meals. Everything looked so delicious. Thank you Julia.
These are PERFECT for budgeting these days, Julia! I am ready to cook/meal prep this week! Right on! Also ... I also ordered your strainer (again, when I first saw you use it), AND I LOVE IT!!! Thank you again for all the great ideas both with food AND kitchen tips!
I am so very glad that you love that strainer so much, Laura! That is awesome. It is a super great tool to use in the kitchen for sure. Thank you so much for watching and thank you so much for your positive comment💜💜
Ok now I’m hungry! 😁. Love all the recipes - will give them all a try. Especially the turkey potato casserole. Yum! You have such a kind and positive presence!
Yes, that turkey/potato casserole is a stand out! And that vegetable fried rice. This week meals 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so very much for that kind comment. I sure do appreciate that! And thank you so much for watching😀
I love when you put one of these extreme budget videos out. You always show so many different ways to jazz up the simplest ingredients.
Thank you so very much for the positive feedback, Stacy😉
I never say this but these videos that you are posting to help society save money are so positive and May I say a “blessing from God” !!! Keep up the great work
Oh my goodness! That is so very kind. Thank you so very much for sharing that positive feedback here and I am really happy to hear that. Thank you so much again and have a wonderful week, Brittany😉💜💜
I really appreciate how you are able to come up with such great ideas for tasty and achievable meals. 👍
Thanks so very much Laura😀
Hi Julia !! I do agree that grocery prices here in Virginia are high as well. I love that you share these budget friendly recipes with us. Thank you so much 😊
You’re the best !
Thank you so very much Patrice😀
Thank You Julie. I'm a homeschool mom and I have been setting aside a day for meal plan and prepping/school plan and prepping. It helps to have meals ready and saves money not to eat out. It's still a five day school week because we are counting Saturday as life skills and PE as we always swim walk or go the the skate rink. Just want to throw that out as a possible solution for anyone who is overwhelmed right now.
You are amazing! Thank you so much for that feedback and good for you homeschooling. That is an awesome thing to do for your children. Thank you so much for watching and thank you so much for your comment💜
Julia!! What a sweet and kind spirit you have!! Bless you for doing these frugal meals. So many people are needing help with ideas, and how to prepare good, frugal meals!!❤🎉
Oh Barb! Thank you so very much. I sure do appreciate your positive feedback💜
Just love your cheerfulness. You family is so lucky. As for high prices, I have lived through this before. Everything evens out in time. We all all be ok people!
Thank you so very much Jennifer for your very kind words and positivity. I sure do appreciate that here and thank you so very much for watching!😉💜
Always a yummy meatless meal with the bean and rice tacos. We eat this alot and you can switch it up alot with pintos or black beans!
Absolutely, Sylvia! Thank you so much for adding that tip. Thanks so much for watching💜
I like "potato tacos" too! Yum
We love rice and beans tacos here! Fried up on corn tortillas. We also use beans and breadcrumbs with flaxseed to make bean burgers. Healthy and easy!
@@peaceandquiet1983 what are potato tacos? We have been eating a lot of Tex Mex lately but I have not heard of those!
THIS IS AWESOME ..AND YES, GROCERY PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS NOW🥴👑💛⭐️I'M GOING TO CREATE MORE OF YOUR MEAL IDEAS
That’s awesome! Thanks so very much🙌🏼🙌🏼
These are all great ideas, thanks for the recipes using basic ingredients! 😊
That paper towel trick is genius! I’m definitely going to be doing that going forward. Also, the breakfast casserole looks amazing!
I started doing it since I started watching her videos. Genius!
She is why I use paper towels to drain my grease
@@dishonorably_mentioned it’s such a good trick! It’s so much easier than draining the fat.
Thank you so very much!🙌🏼🙌🏼
When I did the paper towel trick, my husband asked if I drained the meat at all! Maybe I need more paper towels but I haven't done it since. Lol
Honey ty for your help getting through these times ... You be Blessed and your family 🙏❤️
Thank you so very much sweet Donna💜💜
Your welcome sweet lady 😘😘
Yes Julia, prices are crazy. Great tutorial. I hope and pray your little family is doing well 🙏. Have a super fantastic day. Sending love and big hugs Sherry ❤
Thank you so very much Sherry! Thank you so very much💜
Thank you for sharing. All the recipes look delicious. Think I’m going to have to try a couple this week.
Amazing, thank you for doing this.
I grew up in large family and my mother was great at making budget friendly meals. These recipes remind of my mother's recipes and have inspired me to start cooking again. Your recipes make cooking affordable and delicious! Thank you so much! Looking forward to more budget friendly recipes from you! Liked and subscribed!🙂
Well thank you so very much! That is the best compliment ever to compare me with what your mother used to make. Thank you so much for sharing that positive feedback and thank you so very much for subscribing. Welcome to my TH-cam family😉💜
I loved this. I am constantly trying to find recipes that I can make as one meal but divvy what's left into separate portions to freeze. Plus...twenty bucks??? Fantastic!!! Thanks Julia. Nailed it again!
Thank you so very much Lissa🙌🏼🙌🏼
Wow you are amazing I never thought of all these meals. Thank you for sharing with us.
Julia! You are my favorite! 💛 Thank you for giving me joyful inspiration to prepare meals for my family. I love watching your videos. 🥰
Well thank you so very much Marjorie! That is just awesome. Thank you so very much for making me your favorite😉💜
The turkey and potatoes casserole sounds good. Thank Julia 🥰🥰🙏🙏
So far I've made the breakfast casserole and fell in love absolutely in love with it. Tonight I am doing the turkey and potato casserole. And I just added the cheese and I must say it smells heavenly I can't wait to try it. You and your recipes have been a big help to me right now cuz I don't do much cooking anymore and I've been eating a lot of junk food so Chinese recipes has really been delightful and very delicious. I will be making these more and more.
That is just awesome! Thank you so very much for sharing that with me, LJ. I’m so very glad that you’ve enjoyed my recipes and thank you so very much for your positive feedback! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend🙌🏼🙌🏼
Julia, thank you for the great tips! Really helpful with groceries going up so much!!!
These look fantastic! Thank you for sharing Julia!
I love your budget meals!!
Thank you so very much for the positive feedback! Sure hope they can help😀
Thanks Julie, always great to see what you make on a budget. Some great ideas here 🙌🏼xx Cathi xx 😘
Thank you so very much Cathi💜
This is amazing. The world needs more of this today! Even though the suggested list costs well over twice $20 CAD it’s still helpful! I’m going to be trying this video’s suggestions this week. Thank you for showing the way to make nutritious meals with variety- your kind, helpful approach means the world to this motherless daughter!
Oh! Thank you so very much for that very kind comment. I really do appreciate that so very much! Thanks so much for watching and sure hope you find some of these recipes useful even though the prices are so different in Canada💜💜
Thank you. I am always looking for ideas for my meals.
I sure hope you enjoy these recipes and thanks so much for watching💜
Another option for beans, add some carrot, onion (if you like) and drop in some dumplings at the end, it's wonderful! Also helps make like a bean gravy and stretches the meal. My Mother always did this, when we were growing up, with her beans.
That’s a wonderful idea, Laura! Thank you so much for sharing that. I love dumplings. My mom used to make them and we love them🙌🏼
@@JuliaPacheco this is a bit late but thought I'd share it. Sometimes I make these quick dumplings to add to soup. Flour + water, stir until it forms a paste. Then bring the soup to a boil and add the paste to the soup, a tablespoon at a time. Cook for about 10 mins in the soup. Then it's done and you have soup with dumplings!
As a Canadian there's no way I could get that for $20. That would probably be closer to $50 give or take! Thank you for sharing amazing recipes !!
I felt like this was an exaggeration, so I put mock orders into grocery pick up and ... not an exaggeration at all. Walmart was $45 and Sobeys was just shy of $50 in my province. Crazy the price differences, particularly in meat and cheese!
Hello
I'm Aussie I'm hearing you. Much more expensive and with the climate /natural disasters it's hard to catch a break
If you live close to a Food Basics, the price still won’t be $20 but it will be a lot less than $40. 🇨🇦 prices are so high right now.
The cheese alone!!! That would easily be $8 here. Ugh
I love this. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing these budget friendly meals and encouragement. I hope and pray that you are all doing well and enjoying the little ones. What a blessing they are. Take care, God bless 🙏
Thank you so very much Kathy! Yes, we are enjoying our girls very much. Thank you so much for your comment and thank you so much for watching😀
I make the potato casserole frequently. I add vegetables too! It's super yummy. Works with all meats. If I make it with chicken, I call it "chicken surprise"! Beef "beef surprise" etc.
Great ideas! I love how versatile her recipes are to modify to our own tastes and how we can or can't eat.
Ha ha! That is awesome. Great title too to the recipe!🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@JuliaPacheco THANK YOU!!! Its a surprise because you never know what vegetables are going to be in it!!! Its a perfect time to clean out your vegetable drawer!!!! Carrots are SUPER YUMMY in it!!!
It seems to me some of the foods are expensive, but the local produce and veggies are plenty-full and the price still workable as we are giving more thought about what we are eating. TY Julie love your focused videos!
Thank you so very much Marjory. Buying local produce from local growers this summer is a great idea💜🙌🏼Thank you so very much for watching!
Awesome recipes and ideas, thanks for sharing 👍❤️👍👍❤️❤️
Thank you so much for doing this. I really appreciate you telling us what is the cheaper buy. I'm definitely using your tips in the store. Please continue these videos!
Thank you so very much for sharing that! I’m so happy to hear that this helps. Thank you so much for watching and I sure do appreciate your support here💜💜
GREAT, GREAT JOB 👏🏻‼️
$20.28 went a LONG way. You made GREAT meals with that 20 bucks. I'll be doing this, this very week.
I'm loving your videos as well as 'Meals with Maria'. You 2 are my go-to meal ideas.
I'm budgeting every dollar and cooking here at home. It's been fun and satisfying.
Thank you for another great video! ❤️
The second dish with Turkey and potatoes actually looks really tasty! I think I’ll try that tomorrow but with beef since we don’t have Turkey in the freezer! Thx for new ideas
That sounds great Chantal. I sure hope it turns out well and thank you so much for your positive feedback💜
Nothing wrong with that, Chantal. Using what you already have is one of the best budget tips out there! Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for another amazing video. Hope you and your family are well.
Wonderful meal plan definitely doing this one! Thank you!!!
Hello Julia Thanks for those meals yes food prices have gone thru the roof I have to b on a budget Keep them coming!!
Thank you so very much Wanda for that positive comment. I appreciate it and yes, prices are through the roof right now unfortunately🥹🥹
Thank you for this. I'm on a tight budget, and this helps.
Love this!! Grocery prices are insane so any budget tips are so helpful!!
Loved the recipes for the soup, fried rice, and bean tacos 🌮 Yum!
Hi new here, everything looks great. Might make for my husband and son, I can’t eat it, but they can. Just a note to keep the potatoes from turning brown put them in water as you slice/cut. 🧡 My mom was a great budget cook! 😊
Welcome 😁 Jennifer
The oxidation means starch that can help bind the ingredients together, if you don’t mind the looks of it.
Thank you so very much Roxanne🙌🏼
Important to note that this is 40 SERVINGS ... 5 meals, not huge servings but I would say enough, especially if you can bulk your meals up with extra fruits and veggies on the side.
Still a great budget video, especially given the prices of everything these days, mind still blown on the price of eggs per dozen, I hate buying eggs right now, but my kids LOVE them.
Thanks Julia. I've shared and saved several of your cooking videos. Thanks for simple budget friendly ideas.
That’s awesome to hear! I’m so glad that you enjoy these recipes. Thank you so much for your positive feedback🙌🏼
Good morning, thank you for the tutorial. I'm definitely going to give it a try. Delicious
In the UK it’s actually ridiculous how expensive everything is😭 thank you for the delicious and budget friendly recipes. Will definitely be trying these☺️
I am so sorry, Angie! It is crazy here too and the price of gas keeps getting higher which is not going to help our supermarket prices🥴 I sure do appreciate you watching and thank you so very much again for your support😀
And fresh and delicious too I would think😉
I'm in Barcelona, Catalonia and over the last 1 year prices have gone insane. I watch shoppers pick stuff up, look at the price and then put it right back ont he shelf because of the price is just too high, and there is a palpable change in the supermarket, like, shelves half empty or not stocked for long long periods of time. Last year at this time 1 liter was 59 cents. Today, that 1 liter of milk is between 89 and 99 cents. That much of a percentage hike is just insane. WTF is this? How are any of us who not in the two 1% going to thrive or do better than our parents?
Hi Julia , I love your content ! I was wondering if you can do some more breakfast things ?
I am a vegetarian and find your videos still helpful . I just substitute the meat with other items :) I hope all is great ! Thanks !
I’m so very glad that you are able to make these recipes vegetarian! And thank you so much for the suggestion 💜Thank you so very much for watching
I get so many great easy budget friendly recipes from you. Thank you for the inspiration Julia💜
Thank you so very much Linda for that positive feedback! I really do appreciate that and that makes me so happy. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and thank you so much for watching💜🙌🏼
I made the Vegetable & Rice Soup today because I had everything on hand. We enjoyed it, delicious. Your videos are more important than ever Julia. Thank you!
Well thank you so very much Cathe 💜💜
In Canada some of the products and prices are different, but the struggle is the same, thank you so much for these delicious recipes :)
It sure is right now! I sure hope you find some of these recipes easy to use for you. Thank you so very much for being one of my loyal Canadian viewers😉💜
I live in Canada too. I've never seen the tubes of sausage where I live. We'll need to use some ground meat, but whether beef, pork or turkey are the cheapest changes at least weekly
Def making the potato bake. Our grocery prices in Italy have definitely escalated as well with one of Europe’s biggest agricultural countries under the siege of War 😢 Also, condensed soups are non-existent here so I had my momma bring some when my parents came to visit me for the first time in 2 1/2 years because of the pandemic. I will dedicate one can to this delicious looking tater recipe.
I am glad you finally got to see your parents.
@Barbara Diane Grazie ! So am I. It was also for a wonderful occasion. While we are going to have our bigger church wedding later, we had our small civil ceremony while they were here. So am I. It was also for a wonderful occasion. While we are going to have our bigger church wedding later, we had our small civil ceremony while they were here. It was definitely all kinds of good. And again thank you.
I am so sorry to hear about your agricultural issues in Italy. We are all thinking about you over there💜please know that! You can always make your own cream of mushroom or chicken soups with this base:
2 tablespoons of butter, 3 tablespoons of all purpose flour a half a cup of chicken broth, a half cup of milk, Salt and pepper to taste and chopped mushrooms. I hope this helps! You can also add cream cheese to thicken it as well. Thank you so much for watching all the way from Italy and for being one of my loyal supporters💜💜
Thank you! This will come in handy due to the crazy grocery prices.
I love these videos, if only just for ideas!
I also share these videos with my families as a social worker.
Thanks!
That’s awesome! Thank you so very much Denise. I sure do love to hear that you share it with the families that you serve. Have a wonderful rest of your week!💜💜
Julia and family have a great day you have 2 beautiful girls thanks from Oklahoma
Thanks for doing another budget meal video. We are living on Social Security & except for first year of marriage never had to budget meals. Yes food prices have increased but our Social Security checks have not. I am so thankful for videos like this. Also, I appreciate that you shopped at Walmart.
Thank you so very much for your comment, Shelby. I am sure it is extra hard when you depend on Social Security right now. Food prices have really gone up! Thank you so much for watching🙌🏼
Thank you for sharing! So creative and delicious
I watch your cooking videos to relax. Thank you for the recipes and good vibes.
Thank you so very much, Katie. I’m so very happy to hear that you can relax while watching my videos. I hope you find some of my recipes useful! Thank you so much for watching and have a great rest of your weekend!😉💜
Wow this is such a great video! Thanks so much for sharing your budget friendly recipes, this truly helps! 🧡
Well thank you so very much! That is so nice to hear. Thank you so much for watching🙌🏼
Thank you for being relatable! You so down to earth and humble.

Good morning Julia ,thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes,going to make the breakfast biscuit casserole looks delicious they all do ..have a wonderful Sunday ❤️
I sure hope you enjoy it! Thanks so very much again for your loyal support🙌🏼
Great job! These meals are amazing and budget friendly! And nutritious!
I love your videos, I've had to budget shop most of my adult life as a single mom. Now I have my youngest's income helping us both out and we still struggle! He's a picky eater so my challenge has been twofold, shopping on a budget and buying ingredients that he'll actually eat. I appreciate your ideas so much as they can be easily modified to allow for my picky eater! I bought the over the sink strainer last year and love it! ❤
I am so sorry to hear that you have always been on such a tight budget, but I am happy to hear that my recipes have helped you. Thank you so very much for your positive comment and I sure do appreciate you and your loyal support😉💜💜
Great ideas! Thank you🙂
I’m going to try all of these recipes! Thank you!
Hi Julia! I'm so grateful for this video since my husband & I both have covid and these meals keep it simple for us while saving money. If you love biscuit meals, I make a biscuits and gravy casserole that's just canned biscuits & sausage gravy; you can even buy canned sausage gravy or boxed over in the breakfast sausage section. I'll fry up some eggs on top and throw on cheese too if I'm feeling fancy & it's terrific!
Wow do you what a great idea! On another note, I am so sorry that you and your husband have Covid right now. I sure hope you both get better soon! I sure do appreciate you watching and thank you so very much for your support💜💜
Dear Julia, I think you're so amazing to do this for all of us.
Oh Amy! Thank you so very much for that kind comment. I sure do appreciate that and thank you so much for watching😉💜
