I love your hair color like this too. My cousin is struggling with her hair being grey on top and colored on the bottom. She’s gradually lightening the mid shaft to ends more and more and it looks great.
Hey Brooke, Let's say I didn't have $15 extra to start a pantry. I would take the items you put in your cart and buy 1 or 2 of those items at a time. Slow and steady would build up my pantry. Hugs
The variety at the dollar tree was a plus, but the variety of seasonings from Walmart, as well as the amount of the product, larger bottle of oil for example, and the diversity of the product, the yeast for example, will all allow for the variety of the future items with a smaller budget. Both great hauls, both lots of things to work with, I say it was a tie! Jess
Having some vinegar in your pantry is a good idea too, to make substitute for butter milk, to add to oil for homemade dressings, to put in water when cooking shirred eggs. Some quick baking recipes call for a bit of vinegar to activate the baking soda in the recipe. My favorite pancake recipe uses a bit of it and the pancakes are light and fluffy. Also I'm like my daddy was I need vinegar to put on my collard, kale or turnip greens. I think going to both Walmart and Dollsr Tree to get your pantry items is best.
@@sonyafox3271You may need to reread that. They said to have the vinegar to make buttermilk, ALSO you could use the vinegar to mix with oil for dressing.. Those two things were separated. 😂
Something I would add to my pantry is canned tomato products. Sauce, paste, diced, etc. Also, I would scour the marked down meats section for reduced meat products to put up in the freezer. A pound of marked down ground beef, for example, could be divided between 2 or 3 meals. Combined with basic pantry staples, you can always make a Hamburger Helper type of meal. Also the reduced produce section can be frozen for meals as well. Much love and peace to everyone! xo
I make my own syrup, brown sugar vanilla water, and a little butter in a saucepan to heat up ! My 5 kids loved it!! They are all grown but still ask me to make it when I'm making French toast, lol
I love this hair color on you, I really think it takes 5-10 years off of you and gives you glow. By the way I think Dollar tree won the prep your seasoning pantry challenge. 😊
I noticed that the Dollar Tree spices now are labeled as containing GMO ingredients. Spices are so basic, they should not have anything in them except the herb or spice. Pass on the spices at $tree for me. If you buy one herb or spice every time you grocery shop, you will have a great collection in no time. My pantry is so far away from basic at this point, I'm not sure what I would pick if I were starting from scratch. Flour, sugar, salt, cornmeal, oatmeal, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, yeast, bouillon, shortening or oil. Rice, dried beans, macaroni, canned tomatoes. Milk, butter, eggs.
Yeah I can't do the GMO stuff either!!; their(food companies)putting it eveywheree (even generic brands)!!!🤔🤔🤔 they have something called SmartLabel by scanning the qr code it tells you if that product has bioengineered ingredients
I loved your dark hair with your gray and I super duper love your new color such a beautiful ❤️ haircut... Very becoming on you. You are a very attractive young woman and terrific mother and wife. Love Love your precious family. Great video today. Thank you. Sincerely, Grandma Debbie and Dexter-Dog my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California.
Love the hair... Every month I purchase a value pack of canned tuna and or chicken from Walmart. Since we have pets, I slightly over-purchase dry and/or wet food for them...can't forget them in an emergency! I stock up on pasta and pasta sauce every month from Walmart as well...their sauce is an excellent base to add to. Parmesan cheese...Walmart brand is a pantry see staple for us as well as their ranch powder in the jar. Anytime anyone's electrolyte replacement such as store brand pedialyte is $1, I stock up...as well as sales on bottled water. Good old pintos and canned veggies are always a must as well as canned soups for cooking or consumption...Walmart usually has them for 58 cents...cream of mushroom, chicken and chicken noodle are our go to's as well as canned pasta. Toilet paper and toiletries when they're on sale. That's the short list ! 😂
I personally skip on pancake mix and swap for an all purpose baking mix like Bisquick that can be pancakes, biscuits, dumplings, etc. I like multitaskers in my pantry whenever possible. Canned/jarred tomato products are a must in my family's pantry, lots of flour, sugar, dried Pasta and rice (in food safe moisture proof containers), shelf stable milk (for those emergencies when the kids don't tell anyone were close to out and leave a few tablespoons in the jug), Peanut butter, Jams/preserves, syrup (my gran used to make her own with Karo and maple flavoring), HONEY- I know it's not a cheap item, but if you find it on sale (especially if it's LOCAL ) it is so worth having on hand for cooking and medicinal purposes (and kept properly never spoils), canned or pouch meats, broth cartons, bouillons, dehydrated soup mixes, potato flakes (I know fresh mashed is better, but it makes a good thickener and sometimes when you're sick and need soft, safe, easy to swallow, and quick it can be your best friend), stuffing mix (multi-tasker- I crush it down and use it as pre-seasoned breadcrumbs or meatloaf binder, in addition to just being a side dish), applesauce (another multitasker- good for fruit intake, but also a good replacement ingredient when baking), canned veg of all kinds, and yes, some condensed cream soups. In the Spice/baking rack: The Holy Spice Trinity (for sure) plus, s&p, seasoned salt (or salt free) blends, Chili powder, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, curry powder, dried herbs, baking soda and powder, cornstarch, brown sugar, cocoa powder, Oil/shortening/bacon grease, yeast, and Uncle Dan's Ranch powdered dressing mix (it's the GOOD-good ranch- another multitasker in my house). And for extra flavor enhancement: mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, parmesan cheese, my son can't live without a jar of minced garlic in the house (and yes, I am that mom who has a bin of all the extra condiment packs and sauces from restaurants and fast food- cuz sometimes you need a little something and most keep well).
I'm loving the hair, Brooke! Wal-Mart in my world. Dollar Tree is out of our way. I did a huge starter pantry for my son at Wal-Mart and had his cupboards full of basics for $50 to $75 (some were favorites). Thank you and be blessed always, my Southerland Squad! xoxo
I realize that you are doing $15. Don't forget about Dollar General. They usually have coupon for $5 off a $25 purchase. They have some Dollar Tree items for $1.
You could always get one of their seasoned salt instead of the garlic and paprika (those are in there as well as onion powder). It also can take the place of bouillon powder in a pinch.
I would say Walmart would have more options. By the way, perfect technique for growing your color off! I’m a hairstylist and I tell people all the time, when you touch the new growth you are starting all over!
I would go to both & spend a little more than 15. I do understand tho that sometimes you just don't have it. Thanks for this challenge. Really got my wheels turning.
Love your hair❤❤❤❤. Thanks for taking the time to do the research for us. You are my number one go to for meals and other tips. THANK YOU!!!! Can't leave the fellas out. They, all four of them, add a bright spot.
Walmart. I would skip yeast for my beginning pantry. Baking soda and powder. Vinegar Yeast breads are tricky for beginners soda breads muffins pancakes. I can't depend on dollar store sometimes a product is there sometimes not. What is the difference of a pantry and a basic pantry? I must have salt, pepper,onion powder, garlic powder, cinnamon. In my basic pantry I must have some type of milk canned or powder. PS. flour and sugar I was distracted.Another reason I put soda salt and vinegar at the top of my list is because they are also good for cleaning.
at the dollar tree you can get ramen noodles that has the bullion in there plus you get a bunch of noodles! You are a really good cook and your kids are cute.
My pantry musts in addition to those Brooke shared are white and apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dried onion flakes, pre-seasoned diced tomatoes, and generic Mrs Dash. When I can find it, and it is a good price, I like to have powdered cheese or velveeta cheese sauce packets for Mac and cheese in a pinch. I mostly cook for one so I have figured out how to break recipes down to one or two servings. As for who won, I think it was a tie. For me, I make a list of what I am looking for and checking both places to see where the greater savings is, but I know many people do not have that option. Love you and your family and I believe you are a blessing to many people.
I love watching your videos. As a family of four we eat, I’d say 80% organic(meat,vegetables,fruits etc.) however I’d love to see a budget friendly video based around organic eating! Generally speaking
I finally grew out my hair and I'm so glad I no longer color it. It took a few years but now the faded stain color is gone and roots showing is a thing of the past. I always keep a spice blend like Natures Seasonings or one of the Mrs Dash for example in my pantry. I also use Cornstarch for a thickener in some gravy as well as stir-fry meals.
I've grown mine out and people keep asking me when am I going to stop putting the bleached blonde streaks in it! 🤣Yes, it is THAT white now. I started graying at age 23, and I'm 60 now. I love it! So much cheaper to just go for a hair cut!
I am so loving your hair!! I think if people are limited on money, Dollar Tree can get them a variety of groceries. But I think that Walmart will give larger sizes, so maybe not the variety
Have you ever considered a meal plan from Aldi? Do you have one of those where you are? The pantry items are fabulously priced, and foods made in Germany only have some of the dyes and preservatives we have here in the US. I really enjoy watching your videos!!
I do! I’ve done a few there, but I stopped going a while back because they went up in price quite a bit. I went a few weeks ago and it seemed more reasonable again. I may start hitting them up more!
I did something similar recently when I made food donation boxes. They contained a pretty similar selection of items, but instead of paprika there was mixed dried herbs and some vinegar too.
I have naturally jet black hair. So when I finally decided to let it go gray, I looked like a skunk. I wore hats and then got a pixie cut. Now, it's about 50% gray and looks 100 times better.
Would add tuna can and can tomatoes but your variety was great. Love your hair. I went with grey white hair for years then this year at 67 decided I missed my medium brown. Like ones with gold highlights. I do myself. And get dyes on sale.
I love love love your hair!!!! Gorgeous!!! And yes pantry building is key for those tough times!!!! Thank you as always Love you!!!! God Bless you and your beautiful family!!! I am bettin on Walmart. I love DT but $1.25 is a lot for some items!!!! Xoxoxo
Don’t worry about your hair your beauty come first from your heart and you got that!!!! Be happy with what god gave us!!!! You inspire me as I like cooking for my wife and myself!!!! Your tops!!!!
I also think a combination of both stores would be the best idea but I would start at the Dollar tree because you don't want to go to Walmart first and then go to the Dollar tree and see the same item for way less so start at the Dollar tree and then go to Walmart.. You did great. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
The combination. I definitely want pancake mix and syrup, peanut butters, jelly, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and baking soda. Instant coffee and canned material.
As already stated the hair is gorgeous! I can’t wait to try the smaller size tomato bouillon! I agree baking powder or baking soda are great additions I have learned so much from you and I have a much better stocked pantry now!
Brooke...OMG...your hair looks awesome. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Love your videos. I have learned so many new recipes and frugal tips. Keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.
I would replace the paprika with cumin because I like the flavor better. I use ramen seasoning for bouillon and I have a TON of all kinds of flavors. When I make ramen, I just use a third of the flavor so I save 2 for every 3 packs I make. At thanksgiving, I found I didn't have any flour so I used corn meal for gravy making. Had to put it in the blender to make it finer, but it worked good.
Your hair looks AMAZING!!! Really highlights your face!!! Great info here! I agree combine the 2 store to get the best deals! And i am thinking what a great house warming or graduation gift for someone starting out!!!
I say Walmart, because of the amount. I shop both, and a discount store. I think that the building over time was a good idea. When i was young, early teens i git to go to my furure sister in laws bridal shower, one gift i remember was a trash can, filled with all things to start a home. Pot holders,toothpicks, kitchen utensils, dish cloths, aspirin, first aid kit. Very thoughtful for first time couple on their own. Little things add up.
Love your new hair color, very becoming on you, and, I noticed your glasses are also new, or if not, the color of your hair and the glasses is stunning! Great move, Brooke! Dollar Tree will be the better deal, because your $15 will stretch further. Crossing fingers, hope I'm right.
Well if you dont need or use a lot of meat then its iffy.but if you can use canned meat then dollar tree. I have seen so good additions to frozen,cold foods. Another winner Brooke. 😊
Wonderful video idea, Brooke❤ Our local Wal-Mart has the Great Value seasonings ( the $1.12 ones) in a barrel-type container. Don't mind saying I go elbow-deep to find seasonings for stocking my pantry! 👍🏻 Last shopping trip, I found out that 3 shoppers can comfortably rummage in it at the same time! 😂 Birds of a feather......
Brooke I love tgst you stripped some of the dark color out of your dyed part, the color now looks natural and it looks good with your beautiful white hair that’s growing in , and might I say growing fast you’ve got about 5 inches of outgrowth 👏👏👏and looking marvolious darling !! Truly Brooke your beautiful white hair is so pretty I think you’ll love it once it gets grown out enough to cut off all the hair that’s colored! And I think the best deal was at dollar tree? But I agree take $15 one week and $15 another week and get the best variety you can get at both stores ! Great video Brooke ! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
I purchase the generic of Mrs Dash @ Dollar Tree. I use it in everything I make. Not a huge eater of rice so I would not get those or Paprika. However this was a great video as it really makes one think.
I shared a screen shot of this video in a helping others for free group here where I live because food insecurity is high in the county where I live. You are a true blessing! Thank you for all you do!
Hair looks great! I did the same 6 years ago Never coloring again! Less trouble Looking for mayo on sale. So expensive for Mayo We use the name brand in Mayo
I think that what I would do to compare Wal-Mart and Dollar Tree is to add up all the basic nutrients - carbs, fats, protein, and calories and check how that works. Usually, they have that information on the package. Your hair looks fine.
Your hair is gorgeous! This is a tough choice - spices and canned goods (veggies & beans) will be cheaper at WalMart. Pink salt, crackers, cereal - cheaper at Dollar Tree. Shelf stable milk is wonderful. My Dollar Trees have had a lot of empty shelves lately.
I'm an old bachelor living alone who is now semi-retired in a small town. I'm double digit miles from the closest Walmart, so I'll take Dollar Tree by default. There are also two Dollar Generals in my town.
Hair tone is 🔥 to blend in your natural ✨ That starter pantry from DT is also great when you go thru spices, sometimes there’s an all purpose seasoning on the shelf, similar to Monterey steak seasoning that has all 3 spices in there! That helps! I use it in everything.
Beautiful hair, love it! I've been coloring my hair a dark maroon for a while and I'm also thinking of lightening my hair. I usually just color my own hair but with the dark I have I may need to go get it done to start. We have a beauty school near me with great prices so won't break the bank.
I like the lighter hair color on you; it brightens your complexion. As far as your roots, if you want to go au natural, good for you, but my vain 70 y/o self keeps my hair dyed, LOL! I think Dollar Tree is a better deal for small sized pantry basics IF the items are in stock.

I vote dollar tree!
Love it!!
I love your hair color like this too. My cousin is struggling with her hair being grey on top and colored on the bottom. She’s gradually lightening the mid shaft to ends more and more and it looks great.

You😊r hair is flattering. Didn't recognize you at first. I think you got more food at Dollar Tree.
Remember also, to save things like bacon grease to use in a pinch, or just for added flavor. It can really help stretch your cooking oil. xo
Brooke your hair is beautiful it really suits you.xx
Having some vinegar in your pantry is a good idea too, to make substitute for butter milk, to add to oil for homemade dressings, to put in water when cooking shirred eggs. Some quick baking recipes call for a bit of vinegar to
activate the baking soda in the recipe. My favorite pancake recipe uses a bit of it and the pancakes are light and fluffy. Also I'm like my daddy was I need vinegar to put on my collard, kale or turnip greens.
I think going to both Walmart and Dollsr Tree to get your pantry items is best.
@@sonyafox3271You may need to reread that. They said to have the vinegar to make buttermilk, ALSO you could use the vinegar to mix with oil for dressing.. Those two things were separated. 😂
Yes!!! I can’t believe I forgot to mention vinegar lol
Something I would add to my pantry is canned tomato products. Sauce, paste, diced, etc. Also, I would scour the marked down meats section for reduced meat products to put up in the freezer. A pound of marked down ground beef, for example, could be divided between 2 or 3 meals. Combined with basic pantry staples, you can always make a Hamburger Helper type of meal. Also the reduced produce section can be frozen for meals as well. Much love and peace to everyone! xo
Dollar Tree in my opinion seems like the better value.
I make my own syrup, brown sugar vanilla water, and a little butter in a saucepan to heat up ! My 5 kids loved it!! They are all grown but still ask me to make it when I'm making French toast, lol

Hair is awesome! I preferred walmart.the flavoring cubes go a long way in making even plain rice more of a meal.

Great advice about the pantry !!!
Love your hair !!!❤❤❤
My pantry musts in addition to those Brooke shared are white and apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dried onion flakes, pre-seasoned diced tomatoes, and generic Mrs Dash.

As already stated the hair is gorgeous! I can’t wait to try the smaller size tomato bouillon! I agree baking powder or baking soda are great additions I have learned so much from you and I have a much better stocked pantry now!
Thank you beautiful friend!!!
I think Walmart definitely I may try this same idea and see what the price difference is…
Brooke...OMG...your hair looks awesome. You are a beautiful person inside and out.
Love your videos. I have learned so many new recipes and frugal tips. Keep up the good work.
God bless you and your family.
I would replace the paprika with cumin because I like the flavor better. I use ramen seasoning for bouillon and I have a TON of all kinds of flavors. When I make ramen, I just use a third of the flavor so I save 2 for every 3 packs I make. At thanksgiving, I found I didn't have any flour so I used corn meal for gravy making. Had to put it in the blender to make it finer, but it worked good.
Love cumin too!
Arrowroot also is a good thickener.
Your hair looks AMAZING!!! Really highlights your face!!!
Great info here! I agree combine the 2 store to get the best deals!
And i am thinking what a great house warming or graduation gift for someone starting out!!!
Your hair color really compliments your skin tone. Looks very nice.
I was also surprised that Dollar Tree won. I thought Wally would have been less.
Your hair looks beautiful, Brooke!!
Brook your hair that color is very complimentary with your skin tone. Makes you look like your in your early 20's 😀
I love your videos. I think both stores together works best. The .60 cent Mac and cheese at Walmart and the $1.25 ground coffee at dollar tree.
❤ your new hair, I have never seen shelf stable milk in my stores I really want some. I live in southwestern Ontario Canada. You are a great teacher.
I say Walmart, because of the amount. I shop both, and a discount store. I think that the building over time was a good idea. When i was young, early teens i git to go to my furure sister in laws bridal shower, one gift i remember was a trash can, filled with all things to start a home. Pot holders,toothpicks, kitchen utensils, dish cloths, aspirin, first aid kit. Very thoughtful for first time couple on their own. Little things add up.
Both hauls were good. I love your new hair color!
Love your new hair color, very becoming on you, and, I noticed your glasses are also new, or if not, the color of your hair and the glasses is stunning! Great move, Brooke! Dollar Tree will be the better deal, because your $15 will stretch further. Crossing fingers, hope I'm right.
Well if you dont need or use a lot of meat then its iffy.but if you can use canned meat then dollar tree. I have seen so good additions to frozen,cold foods. Another winner Brooke. 😊
Wonderful video idea, Brooke❤
Our local Wal-Mart has the Great Value seasonings ( the $1.12 ones) in a barrel-type container. Don't mind saying I go elbow-deep to find seasonings for stocking my pantry! 👍🏻 Last shopping trip, I found out that 3 shoppers can comfortably rummage in it at the same time! 😂 Birds of a feather......
❤❤ your remarks were great. Learned something as well as put a laugh in my morning.😂😂
Brooke I love tgst you stripped some of the dark color out of your dyed part, the color now looks natural and it looks good with your beautiful white hair that’s growing in , and might I say growing fast you’ve got about 5 inches of outgrowth 👏👏👏and looking marvolious darling !! Truly Brooke your beautiful white hair is so pretty I think you’ll love it once it gets grown out enough to cut off all the hair that’s colored! And I think the best deal was at dollar tree? But I agree take $15 one week and $15 another week and get the best variety you can get at both stores ! Great video Brooke ! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
I purchase the generic of Mrs Dash @ Dollar Tree. I use it in everything I make.
Not a huge eater of rice so I would not get those or Paprika. However this was a great video as it really makes one think.
Good shopping!! Your hair is lovely!!❤ Baking powder? Corn starch?? Pepper?? This was a great video!! For $20 you would nail it!!
Ive found that like you. One had to shop around. Some dollar tree items in my area are not cheaper then the grocery store. JS. ❤❤❤👍🙏🙏🙏
Thank you and definitely going to do this.
I shared a screen shot of this video in a helping others for free group here where I live because food insecurity is high in the county where I live. You are a true blessing! Thank you for all you do!
Your hair looks great!
Between the hair and the glasses it took several years off the way you look, Looking awesome Brooke!
Love your hair! Thank you, love your videos!
Hair looks great! I did the same 6 years ago
Never coloring again! Less trouble
Looking for mayo on sale.
So expensive for Mayo
We use the name brand in Mayo
Love your hair!! Gorgeous!! Great video as always ❤
Your hair looks awesome, Dollar Tree won for me
I think that what I would do to compare Wal-Mart and Dollar Tree is to add up all the basic nutrients - carbs, fats, protein, and calories and check how that works. Usually, they have that information on the package. Your hair looks fine.
I love your enthusiasm.
I love your glasses, too!!!😍🌟😍🌟😍🌟😍🌟😍
This is a great video. Love your hair. I'm going all gray. Dollar Tree.
Your hair is gorgeous! This is a tough choice - spices and canned goods (veggies & beans) will be cheaper at WalMart.
Pink salt, crackers, cereal - cheaper at Dollar Tree. Shelf stable milk is wonderful. My Dollar Trees have had a lot of empty shelves lately.
Reminder Pink Salt has sulfer in it and if you have sulfa allergy its bad news. I suffer for 3 days after at least.
I'm an old bachelor living alone who is now semi-retired in a small town. I'm double digit miles from the closest Walmart, so I'll take Dollar Tree by default. There are also two Dollar Generals in my town.
Hair is awesome! Great starter ideas! Dollar Tree was my choice.
Hair tone is 🔥 to blend in your natural ✨
That starter pantry from DT is also great when you go thru spices, sometimes there’s an all purpose seasoning on the shelf, similar to Monterey steak seasoning that has all 3 spices in there! That helps! I use it in everything.
Beautiful hair, love it! I've been coloring my hair a dark maroon for a while and I'm also thinking of lightening my hair. I usually just color my own hair but with the dark I have I may need to go get it done to start. We have a beauty school near me with great prices so won't break the bank.
I like the lighter hair color on you; it brightens your complexion. As far as your roots, if you want to go au natural, good for you, but my vain 70 y/o self keeps my hair dyed, LOL! I think Dollar Tree is a better deal for small sized pantry basics IF the items are in stock.
I think your hair looks great. I think it was a tie. Just get started on a pantry is the most important thing .
