    Also, the fries that are at Dollar tree can be turned into some of the best mashed potatoes! The fries are not pre-seasoned or anything. So, basically they are just frozen potatoes. Allow them to thaw out some, cut them into smaller pieces. Then boil like you would any potato. They will mash up. Add, milk, and butter and seasoning you like. I have made this quite a bit. Lol! Very good !😂😂😂❤

      So true not only has the items shrank in size , some of the flavors have changed and there’s less veggies and more liquid in the cans now and even some if the cans have shrunk in size or if in a box the same size box but product inside had shrunk !! “Charge more get less” should be most manufacturers mottos now!!

We dont really have that here in Canada, but we threw together a bunch of shelf stable meals and dropped them off at the foodbank. Best part of my Christmas this year. Thanks to your vids! We gonna continue as long as we can for every holiday. Thanks for being so positive and spreading kindness❤

    I love the Dollar Tree Spring Rolls and Pot Stickers. I like them better than what I can get at Walmart or my local grocery stores. I live alone and have to be very frugal. I add a pkg of a rice mix or buy one of the fried rice tv sides or make my own meatless fried rice to have with half of the potstickers and spring rolls. I get 2 full meals out of three Dollar Tree food items. I make a spicy sweet and vinegar dipping sauce or a spicy peanut dipping sauce for my spring rolls and pot stickers. That's one of my favorite meals, it really is better tasting than my local Chinese Carry Out food. Anything besides typical American food and Mexican or Chain Italian food is pretty bad in my small town. Two meals for me for $3.75 is pretty good! That's $1.87 per meal for potstickers, spring rolls and rice. Add some hot deal and almond or vanilla cookies and I'm satisfied, full and happy, don't feel poor at all! When I have leftover small amounts of veggies I store them in a large container to add to veggie soup but I also keep a small container with little bits of leftovers suitable to add to fried rice or to add to ramen noodles with some peanut butter and Thai sweet chili sauce or a homemade dupe to make quick and easy faux Pad Thai, that faux Pad Thai is also really good with the Spring Rolls and or Pot Stickers. I think the Pork Pot stickers are best but my Dollar Tree has the Chicken more often.

    Northeaster here, and I've heard stories of 3 separate snow/ice incidents from my neighborhood within the previous week alone. Gotta be careful even if you're experienced. Your car can literally slide past an intersection on a red light at night due to hidden black ice. It happened to my coworker once when she was breaking to a stop for the streetlight, but screamed after her car just kept on moving.
    Dollar tree is a good place to be creative with limited selection. You got choices like rice, bean, oatmeal, frozen veggies, tortilla wraps,etc... Then there are pre-mixes/instant-meals like can chili, cornbread, soup, frozen burrito/eggroll, etc. A good pantry is a must, definitely.

    there is a BIG difference in what we get in south (tennessee here, too) and what they get up north, etc. first of all, we get ( usually) lots ad lots of ice with the snow. and secondly...we dont have the equipment to deal with it. we have like....3 plows in the whole state, or something. lol. and last but not least, we are not used to it. I myself have many years of having driven in snow under my belt. but younget people have zero idea. because we just seldom get it anymore. (we used to back a hundred years ago when i was in school, lol). Anyway, except for the fact that i just packed a weeks worth of clothes and came prepared to my patients home.....i am loving it. (I seldom get cabin fever r anything) but it wouldve been better if I had been snowed in at home with my husband and .....my home, where my comfort is, and all mu stuff is. but , i really love snow and really hate summer so...i am different than most of the world. THANKS for this idea. idk if ours has this stuff, i will have to see.

    I tried the fries in the oven and the kids didn't like them. I like to do healthy but if they don't eat it then what's the point? Brooke my autistic 10 yr old has sensory issues. He's addicted to frozen burritos. One day could you do a copy cat of these burritos? Lol

    I'm not laughing Brooke. Snow is pretty to look at only from inside your home. When it's a Dollar Tree meal, a meal is a meal. Thank you! ❤

    Brooke delicious. i made something similarly last week using cold baked taters. Just fried up the taters and poured the chili cheese on top. PS snow is ok for the first day or so. Then tuck. Next week it is supposed to warm up. Ps. Im making your meal, but with the baked taters. ❤❤❤😊

    Brooke, I got a big chuckle this morning. I am up here in Buffalo, NY. We got walloped this week with 5 - 6 feet of snow, depending on where we live in the area. I agree with you. Big bad snowstorms call for some comfort food. Thank goodness for my pantry. I only had to leave my house for work. Stay warm, only 2 months of winter left.😂😂😂

      I mean maybe 3 to 8 inches or feet once in 15 years. Or we just get black ice, or flurries but even with flurries it will close our county and sometimes even the state.
