Cooking on a Budget! A Healthy-ish Dollar Tree Grocery Haul.

  • I was recently watching a video of a small town in a rural area and the mayor talked about how he was in talks with Dollar General to come to their town. The nearest Walmart was far away and they only had a small gas station store.
    One thing I have learned from UA-cam is that not everyone has access to healthy food options where they live for various reasons. That does not mean you can't make the best out of what you have. x
    If all you have is a Dollar Tree or Dollar General, then you really don't have the luxury of saying you will never eat from those stores. They serve a purpose for more people in this country than we are comfortable admitting. So, whether you're trying to save money, on a tight budget, or only have access to a value brand store, you can still find options that will allow you to eat as healthy as you're able to.
    Do the best you can until you can do better!
    Thanks for hanging in there with me! I'll see you all next time!

    They closed our local dollar tree. It helped feed a lot of people. There is nothing wrong shopping there these days it's so crazy expensive everywhere. Love your haul

      That whole milk is great for cooking. Just add butter to it to make your heavy cream.

    • @Tonioutloud

      Yes. It does help a lot of people. I heard they are raising their prices again which is sad too.

    I have been surprised at the selection of foods at the large $Tree near us. Definitely worth stocking up.

    • @Tonioutloud

      Yes. I try to stick with the $1.25 items. The smoothie starters were a great deal at $1.25

    I tried the spring rolls and the cauliflower rice. They both are pretty good

    • @Tonioutloud

      I had the spring rolls and thought they were good too! I have not tried the cauliflower rice yet!

    Everything looks good, we shop there sometimes, especially since inflation. Great choices

    • @Tonioutloud
      @Tonioutloud  16 днів тому

      Inflation is absolutely ridiculous! Whatever you can do to cut costs is good!

    Good haul. You can make some good meals from the items you bought. I've bought some of those items.

      @Tonioutloud I usually go to Aldi's or fruit & vegetable stand to get everything and make my own smoothies. But it I get this it will be better time management

    This all looks great! I'm always surprised at the food options at Dollar Tree. I always grab the Snyder's pretzels when I'm there. I saw the hot sauce last time I was there and took a picture to see what my husband's thoughts about them were

    • @Tonioutloud
      @Tonioutloud  21 день тому

      Thanks! This was my first time seeing Snyder’s in Dollar tree! I was surprised and happy! I hope your husband picked a good hit sauce.

    Healthy tip find noodles thats not enriched. Thats just additives that makes us gain weight. I switched to organic pasta i found at aldi or food lion. My daughter is finally at her weight goal she was looking for for track.

    The smoothies are good but not a lot of the spinach

    • @Tonioutloud
      @Tonioutloud  14 днів тому

      They were good. I actually thought there would be more spinach. There was a lot of fruit

    Some stuff is cheaper elsewhere. You have to know your prices. Most DT food I won't eat. Check and see if the frozen vegetables are USA. Some are from China. I know these days it is tough. TFS

    • @Tonioutloud

      The beans were def cheaper elsewhere but sometimes spending the time shopping around isn’t worth it. I just didnt feel like it that day

    • @JigsawPuzzleConnection

      So true.
