$10 Meal Plan and Shopping List : docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTQg-pgfG79LVVzm97bs8nOmMHG8GP6fsdOTsQR7I0AfIpaR5r8H0ac1A3KgoLlKDFC8jxy7TJTpbi6/pub
For another meal you could take some of the bean mixture and using a fork mash them then add a small amount of cooked rice , seasonings and a little of the bean water ,mix together then form burgers. Place on a tray in the freezer . Once they are set fry them on the stove. To serve top the burger with sautéed peppers and onion, and a little rice on the side.
I think this is part of the problem: when people don't have much to spending they go for convenience foods, they absolutely will not have enough to feed their families...but this goes to show that using more basic ingredients and a little bit of cooking, you CAN actually feed a family with very little money. If you bought this along with a box of eggs,some oatmeal, and even with some of the bulk packs of beef I've seen people buy, you'd be able to feed your family for a week or even two weeks for $20-30. Will the meals be really exciting, especially without spices? Maybe not, but it WILL be enough to fill bellies and provide what you need. Sometimes good just had to be filling and plentiful ,and that needs to be good enough. We are spoiled nowadays, let's be honest.
Most people with low incomes and low wealth also don't have a lot of things that make it possible to eat well on a small budget: well-functioning appliances (fridge, freezer, stove, oven, slow cooker, etc.), cookware and bake ware, easy access to grocery stores with a wide variety of nutritious, low-cost items, and above all, the TIME and energy to shop and to plan and cook meals from scratch. Poor people tend to work longer hours and in jobs that are harder on their bodies, and are more likely to live in food deserts. If you live in a food desert you have to spend more time and money on transportation. If your finances are month-to-month, and you have no savings, you can't afford to buy things in bulk or stock up when they go on sale. If you work all the time, you can't visit the grocery store frequently or at certain times during the day or week in order to take advantage of mark-downs and clearance pricing on meat and produce. If your home is small, you don't have the space for stockpiling. If you're poor, you're more likely to live in a home in which you'd need special storage for bulk foods in order to keep out insects and vermin. And all of these poverty-related challenges are further complicated if you're disabled or are in poor health or are the care-giver to someone who needs full-time supervision or support. Think about it: A $69 Costco membership absolutely pays for itself over the course of the year in savings, but if you don't have that lump sum or don't have access to credit in order to finance it, or have no way of getting out to a Costco, you end up paying a whole lot more for the things you need that you have to buy elsewhere. Just an example from where I am in Canada: Generic Robaxacet costs $43 for 100 caplets at the drug store down the street, and at Costco it's $14 for 180 caplets. It turns out that life is much more expensive when you're poor.
Absolutely! When I married my husband he was spoiled by his parents who could never say no. When he found out I was going to dollar tree to make dinners he cringed.....yet he ate them and loved them and has asked for more. We're a family of 6 so when I can make a batch of unstuffed pepper casserole for less than $5 AND have leftovers for him to take to work.. I'm not ashamed to save money and feed my kids!
I just recently discovered you. I love your content! This year I'm doing a consumer math class with my homeschooled son for his last year of high school. You've inspired me to add budget meal planning to the budget planning section. It's more important than ever for our young people to learn how to live on a budget!
I am really changing my mindset on meal prep. A cup of Peas fresh, frozen, canned has 8 grams of protein. And there are several other vegetables that in addition to Vita A, C also have protein. I will not stop eating meat but by being creative I can save even more money. In my area one Green Pepper is $1 29, Red, Yellow, Orange Peppers have been as high as $1.89 each - they are sold separately. So the bag of frozen veggies was a better buy.
I think you did a great job making the $10.00 stretch! I’m not sure if people realize beans are a protein source and replacement ! The meals you put together were pretty well balanced and like meals country folks have eaten all their lives !! Great job 👏👏👏
I'm from Louisiana so these kind of meals are a staple for my family. While not authentic, this was one of the more successful ways I've seen it done on a budget. Oh and if you ever decide to try the cornbread again, I'd recommend using a can of creamed corn as the liquid component. Start with a third of the can and add more until it's the consistency you prefer or use water. It's a different texture but the flavor is very good.
Great job! I am amazed at the price difference for Walmart in other states. I still can’t find smoked sausage cheaper than $4.18 at my Walmart here in Washington state. One of your subscribers commented previously that smoked sausage is available for 1.25 at DT. My DT does not have refrigerated section so I drove to another DT 20 miles away in search but still no luck. I agree Brooke is great!
We don't have sausage that cheap but I always get the spicy garlic sausage and I cut it into very small pieces, That way it spreads through the entire skillet. Another tip is to put an extra spoon of your oil in the pan and frying the rice a little then set it aside and put a char on the peppers and onions this adds flavor.
I love that red bean casserole idea! I think I’ll try the frozen seasoning blend instead of the pepper and onion blend in my red beans. I want to try making it cheaply but with cabinet spices.
If you find a good deal on a hambone or save it after Thanksgiving, you can cook it with the beans in a slow cooker and it turns out so amazing! And I agree with the seasoning blend, its got the celery and parsley added that just give it that extra something.
I used to survive off of $10 a week from the dollar store when I was 20-21. It’s all I could afford after bills and rent. I’d always get a bag of lentils or the fried bean soups. Easy cheap protein. Then I’d get some cheap frozen veggies, a box of cheap cereal, and some cheap milk.
for the casserole i would try using regular cornmeal and mixing it with some water and salt and making a polenta/mamaliga/type of corn porridge which would save you the money from buying the greek yogurt and also have a bigger yield and use that on top of the casserole
We actually use that smoked sausage with our black beans, sausage and rice crock pot meal for 3 people. I am trying to not cook so much. We always have leftovers in the crock pot. I have the smallest crock pot possible. Such a filling hardy meal. It cost about $4 to make but we get 2 meals for 3 adults. I LOVE Southern Frugal Momma - Brooke.
For a little more variety you can get 1 lb of rice and 1 lb of pasta to have more variety, instead of 2 cans of diced tomatoes you could get one can of tomatoes and a can of mixed vegetables and add in even more variety, great job with the cornbread topping on the casserole, that’s a nifty way to switch it up, adding that sweet element sounds delicious too!
Brook sent me to you. I ❤❤you both. I'm going to try this sausage, rice and peppers/onions first Thanks for being you!!! You and Brooke should get together and put together a cookbook.
Aldi’s sell sausage rolls for $1.88 I’ve been using those as a substitute for hamburger. It works great in things like spaghetti and it’s more affordable.
Hi Mandy! I just found your channel. I enjoyed the video. I think I am going to do this type of challenge very soon. Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
You can do it! It's amazing how frugal we can be when we try. My goal is to save money and these challenges have helped me cut my grocery bill tremendously! Let me know how it goes!
I love doing rice bowls with meat or beans, whatever I have on hand and I will add a low sodium soy sauce cause I have it to use. Yogi's restaurant where I live has a chicken teriyaki rice bowl for $15. And we can make it at home for cheaper.
I love these budget challenges I wish our walmart had the John Morrell sausages they never have them here in my store in Tennessee I always have to get butterball which is 3 times the price I am really enjoying your vlogs and I am fan of Brooke as well. Thank you for all you do.
I have a bit of a stockpile, mostly beans and lentils and rice. I would like to see how to possibly do a $10 a week or $50 a month plan for an ongoing keeping a budget below that ongoing. I am on a social security budget for about $1200. I’ve worked hard to collect my pantry and back up stockpile. Now due to rent raises and bills I really need to find a way to keep the budget very low, but not eat processed food.
what was the other thing you could not buy because of the yogurt price a taco mix would have been good in the corn bread recipe, 45 cents at my walmart
Awesome, filling meals!! Thank you so much for the recipes and videos on how to stretch a buck!! You have really helped me on how to shop frugally!! Thank you so much!!
I was raised in the mountains of WV and we were extremely poor. My mother fed us on a super extreme budget. We ate dried beans, rice, potatoes, powdered milk, powdered eggs, and anything you can make with flour and cornmeal. There was no variety but we had a full belly and that's a good thing.
Great HEALTHY meals too! Beans and rice are so good for you, as long as there is no cheese. That cheese introduces so much unhealthy fat. You sure did great on this challenge. I loved it! Thank you!
I get a can of pasta sauce a box of elbow noodles a pound of hamburger a can of petite diced tomatoes and I make goulash basically, and eat it for like 2-3 days....people would be blown away if you saw how much we waste on fast food and convenience stores!!! God bless ✝️👑❤😊p.s. when you said "cut it on low" I knew you were awesome!
Just curious, do you use a toaster oven? You don't need to preheat it,which may help on hot days, perfectfor single person meals,and saves time on preheating,etc....🤔🤔🤔🤔
Awesome ideas! This is more similar to what I would cook to my family. I would of make some chili with the leftover beans and rice just buying the small packet of seasoning add more water and pour it over the corn bread. Just to change the flavors a little.
Another comment, 1966 to 69, horrible husband who was never home, I was not a good cook so I do not remember what I was making, but we did survive, I did not think that I would be able to make it through those terrible years with an bipolar, alcoholic husband but I did. Kids are a little scarred but functioning and contributing adults, I'm a beat up old biddy at age 82, but we try to stay positive.
I, too, raised my kids alone, with a husband who was not very nice and never home. We divorced 6 yrs ago and I am so much happier now! You sound like a strong and amazing woman!
hello, can you do an update $10 mill as now to thousand 2023, all the food the prices are more expensive so how many mill can you spend on $10 thank you
Your challenge your rules! I personally think spices are fair game. If you are cooking to serve you & your family, you should make it the way you wish. Most people watching these vids have spices imo. I think there’s a hack for using cornstarch & water as an egg substitute
Thats a great summary for saving cost on meals. I mainly focused on lower prices for groceries and energy saving when it came to food preparation. Now I will step up my game and try out some of your inspired meals. 😀
great video I did a pantry meal week and frugal weeks on my channel people need to learn to eat cheap with the economy the way it is. Any suggestions on how to build my channel thanks in advance
I totally agree! The best advice I can give is to stay consistent. I also created Instagram and Facebook group for my channel. I just recently started sharing my videos to Pinterest. I'll have to go check out your channel! Thanks for watching!
I really feel this had help kids going to school also!! They should know how to cook, besides living on Ramon noodles and fast food! They need tons of protein! Well we all do!! I think it’s awesome what you do!! I love challenges, I look what I have around my home, it’s just me, and I love creating!! My grandkids even love finding what we can create when they’re here! Much love to you & all!
About 19 66 or 67, four babies in my grocery cart, I got home and there was a jar of caviar. OMG, I took it back to the store because the kids had grabbed it and put it in the cart. Clerk gave me a refund, turned around and dropped it and it broke. I booked it out of there as fast as I could.
Next challenge you do you need to do what a person who is truly on a tight budget does. They will only have $10 to feed their 2 kids and husband 5 days. Take Only That $10 in the store and NOT A PENNY MORE for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Do Not Use ANYTHING YOU Don't buy on this trip!! No Seasonings, Butter, Milk or ANYTHING ELSE YOU HAVE IN YOUR Pantry or Refrigerator. After all someone who is shopping on a budget like that doesn't have any of that stuff left. By the time they get the money to go back to the store. Now that's a challenge.
You say you got 15 meals from this, but unless I missed it you didn't say how many servings you NEEDED to make per day. Do you have 2 in your family, 3 in your family or 5 in your family? Did you make 3 meals out of the beans and tomatoes or 5. Not clear to me.
$10 Meal Plan and Shopping List : docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTQg-pgfG79LVVzm97bs8nOmMHG8GP6fsdOTsQR7I0AfIpaR5r8H0ac1A3KgoLlKDFC8jxy7TJTpbi6/pub

Sometimes good just had to be filling and plentiful ,and that needs to be good enough. We are spoiled nowadays, let's be honest.
I agree with you 100%!
Ground beef is $5.99lb here, eggs $3.99.. so $30 wouldn't get you very far here.
Most people with low incomes and low wealth also don't have a lot of things that make it possible to eat well on a small budget: well-functioning appliances (fridge, freezer, stove, oven, slow cooker, etc.), cookware and bake ware, easy access to grocery stores with a wide variety of nutritious, low-cost items, and above all, the TIME and energy to shop and to plan and cook meals from scratch.

So maybe sub out the beef for chicken maybe use leg quarters or drumsticks just an idea though !

Thank you for the shout out!! You are the best!
Those beans looked gooooood!!
You are so welcome! And the pepper and onion blend added so much flavor!
I totally read Brook's comment in Brook's voice 💜
To save money on the greek yogurt, use regular yogurt at half the price, cottage cheese run through a blender, or sour cream.
I just recently discovered you. I love your content! This year I'm doing a consumer math class with my homeschooled son for his last year of high school. You've inspired me to add budget meal planning to the budget planning section. It's more important than ever for our young people to learn how to live on a budget!
That is awesome! I am a teacher of 23 years and I think that idea is amazing! So glad to have you! Welcome to my family!
I wish more teachers did this!
Great idea
Hello Mandy 🙋🏾♀️🪻💜New to your channel 💯
Welcome!!
Great video! You can do a lot with beans and rice, meat in it helps! Chil, burritos, casseroles are just a few that come to mind!
Oh man that rice and beans with the tomatoes, peppers & onions looks so good 💝
Thank you 😋

Yes! Thank you!
I will make the smoked sausage with peppers and fried potatoes. Thanks for the great idea
Hope you enjoy! Let me know how it turns out!
That's how I always made them. Yum
I LOVE these sort of meals Mandy. Even when we can afford a little more to spend, my husband and I prefer to eat this way.
It's so good! And saves money!

Do you have a WINCO nearby? I would try there! I’m in WA as well.
@@Ashleyjohnson397 yes 20 miles away. I will have to recheck Winco again. Thanks.
How about phoning the store before driving anywhere to see what they have in stock ? Save gas ⛽️ $$$ and time too.
Morrell sausages for 4.18? That's nuts!
Everything looks yummy! Thanks for sharing.
You are so very welcome!

You and Brooke should get together and put together a cookbook.
Great job and ideas! Love videos like this. Keep up the good work!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching! I'm currently filming a $30 meal plan! I can't wait to see how many meals I can make from that!
Love this concept!
Thank you for watching!
I found you from Brooke’s channel… so glad I did ! You are so sweet and helpful ! Keep it up 🥰
Thank you so much!! And welcome!!
Loved all of the recipes! 😋❤️👍
Thank you 😋
I just love Brooke!!! I subbed after the 1st video. You did a great job today!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this a real challenge. Not adding a ton my ‘ staples.’ Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love both of y'all!!! Great job 💖
Thank you so much 😀
Great video! I subscribed...I look forward to your next videos in this series!!!
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome to my family!
Aldi’s sell sausage rolls for $1.88 I’ve been using those as a substitute for hamburger. It works great in things like spaghetti and it’s more affordable.
Thanks for the tip! And Thanks for watching!
Good idea. We use hamburger in veggie soup. We like it better than beef!
I like that sausage has more flavor! We've also been using it in place of ground beef. Turns out, we like it better! Lol!
How much is the roll
Hi Mandy! I just found your channel. I enjoyed the video. I think I am going to do this type of challenge very soon. Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
You can do it! It's amazing how frugal we can be when we try. My goal is to save money and these challenges have helped me cut my grocery bill tremendously! Let me know how it goes!
Love these ideas.
Thank you! 😊 I'm currently filming a $30 challenge! Stay Tuned!
I love doing rice bowls with meat or beans, whatever I have on hand and I will add a low sodium soy sauce cause I have it to use. Yogi's restaurant where I live has a chicken teriyaki rice bowl for $15. And we can make it at home for cheaper.
Sounds great!
I love these budget challenges I wish our walmart had the John Morrell sausages they never have them here in my store in Tennessee I always have to get butterball which is 3 times the price I am really enjoying your vlogs and I am fan of Brooke as well. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for watching!
The John Morrell has more of a bologna taste than the usual smoked sausage so guessing that's why is so much cheaper.
Just an idea...switch a can of tomatoes for 6 eggs and do an egg scramble to get away fromrice one night. Great job Mandy🌸
Thanks for watching!
Very good 💡 idea next on the menu 🫘🍲
Thank you so much for watching!
Came from Brooke's channel. Hello!
I’m curious as to what item you had to leave out and which meal you would have put it in. I love you channel, by the way.
I am definitely gonna try this, that casserole looked delish!
It's so good!
A fried egg with go great on that beans and rice
Haven't thought of that before!!
I have a bit of a stockpile, mostly beans and lentils and rice. I would like to see how to possibly do a $10 a week or $50 a month plan for an ongoing keeping a budget below that ongoing. I am on a social security budget for about $1200. I’ve worked hard to collect my pantry and back up stockpile. Now due to rent raises and bills I really need to find a way to keep the budget very low, but not eat processed food.
Everything looked good 👍
Thank you 😋
You did great!
Thanks so much!
Greetings from Australia
Southern Frugal Momma recommended you❤️
Thanks for coming on over! Welcome!
what was the other thing you could not buy because of the yogurt price a taco mix would have been good in the corn bread recipe, 45 cents at my walmart
My plan was to buy either a fresh veggie, seasoning, or cheese. I meant to mention in video but forgot!
Awesome, filling meals!! Thank you so much for the recipes and videos on how to stretch a buck!! You have really helped me on how to shop frugally!! Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Good job! I would have added a banana or two with those extra cents.
Great idea!
I was raised in the mountains of WV and we were extremely poor. My mother fed us on a super extreme budget.
We ate dried beans, rice, potatoes, powdered milk, powdered eggs, and anything you can make with flour and cornmeal.
There was no variety but we had a full belly and that's a good thing.
Thanks for sharing! I think we could all spend way less if we ate this way more!
Great HEALTHY meals too! Beans and rice are so good for you, as long as there is no cheese. That cheese introduces so much unhealthy fat. You sure did great on this challenge. I loved it! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
I get a can of pasta sauce a box of elbow noodles a pound of hamburger a can of petite diced tomatoes and I make goulash basically, and eat it for like 2-3 days....people would be blown away if you saw how much we waste on fast food and convenience stores!!! God bless ✝️👑❤😊p.s. when you said "cut it on low" I knew you were awesome!
hahaha! Thanks so much for sharing! And thanks for watching!
If you saute your veggies before adding to red beans and rice it will help make it more flavorful as well.
Great tip!
Wpnder if you could have added just a little mayo to the cornbread mix .
Good idea!
Just curious, do you use a toaster oven? You don't need to preheat it,which may help on hot days, perfectfor single person meals,and saves time on preheating,etc....🤔🤔🤔🤔
I don't, but I need to get one!
All 3 of those meals looked really good I like how you used the same ingredients 3 different ways 🙂
Thank you 😋
New here! Love this style of video.
Thanks
Welcome!
Bet Rotel tomatoes would be great in that red beans in rice ,would've given it a kick !
Sounds great!
sfmama sent me over. Cannot wait to watch.
Welcome!
❤ awesome job. Love Brooke's channel also 🙂
Thank you!! 😊 She's the best!
Wow! That's so much food for 10 bucks! Get it, Gurrrrrllllll!
Thanks!!
I'm moving to one of the most expensive states soon so I'm doing some research in advance. Thanks!
Best of luck! Thanks so much for watching!
Just subbed came from a recommendation from Tamara.
Welcome! Thanks for watching!

You are so smart..❤️
I don't know about that but I LOVE me some food! I was very pleased with this challenge!
I love these ideas! I have not had beans and rice in a long time, so I will add to this weeks list! Thanks!
Hope you enjoy!
New to channel. Came over from SouthernFrugalMomma. New to her channel. (found her yesterday)
Welcome! I love Brooke at Southern Frugal Momma and I'm so glad you found my channel!
More videos like this they help
I love doing these videos!
What can you use besides rice?
I always say stretch a meal with rice, pasta, or potatoes!
Awesome ideas! This is more similar to what I would cook to my family. I would of make some chili with the leftover beans and rice just buying the small packet of seasoning add more water and pour it over the corn bread. Just to change the flavors a little.

Yes, I will try to do that in the coming videos! Thanks for the request!
Your challenge your rules! I personally think spices are fair game. If you are cooking to serve you & your family, you should make it the way you wish. Most people watching these vids have spices imo. I think there’s a hack for using cornstarch & water as an egg substitute
Thank you so much! Your positive attitude makes me smile! 😀
Yes! 1 Tbsp of cornstarch plus 3 Tbsp of water

Love Brooke! Thanks for watching and Welcome!
That was a lot for 10.00! Great job!
Thanks!
this joghurt costs here in Panama nearly 3 Dollar :)
Wow!
Thats a great summary for saving cost on meals. I mainly focused on lower prices for groceries and energy saving when it came to food preparation. Now I will step up my game and try out some of your inspired meals. 😀
Thank you so much for watching!
great video I did a pantry meal week and frugal weeks on my channel people need to learn to eat cheap with the economy the way it is. Any suggestions on how to build my channel thanks in advance
I totally agree! The best advice I can give is to stay consistent. I also created Instagram and Facebook group for my channel. I just recently started sharing my videos to Pinterest. I'll have to go check out your channel! Thanks for watching!

I really feel this had help kids going to school also!! They should know how to cook, besides living on Ramon noodles and fast food! They need tons of protein! Well we all do!! I think it’s awesome what you do!! I love challenges, I look what I have around my home, it’s just me, and I love creating!! My grandkids even love finding what we can create when they’re here! Much love to you & all!
Thank you so much!
How many people are you feeding?
We are feeding 4
About 19 66 or 67, four babies in my grocery cart, I got home and there was a jar of caviar. OMG, I took it back to the store because the kids had grabbed it and put it in the cart. Clerk gave me a refund, turned around and dropped it and it broke. I booked it out of there as fast as I could.
Oh my goodness! Sounds like fun times!
Great ideas. the title is deceiving with the 15 meals
Thanks for watching!
Next challenge you do you need to do what a person who is truly on a tight budget does. They will only have $10 to feed their 2 kids and husband 5 days. Take Only That $10 in the store and NOT A PENNY MORE for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Do Not Use ANYTHING YOU Don't buy on this trip!! No Seasonings, Butter, Milk or ANYTHING ELSE YOU HAVE IN YOUR Pantry or Refrigerator. After all someone who is shopping on a budget like that doesn't have any of that stuff left. By the time they get the money to go back to the store. Now that's a challenge.
That would definitely be a challenge!!
👍😊❣️
You say you got 15 meals from this, but unless I missed it you didn't say how many servings you NEEDED to make per day. Do you have 2 in your family, 3 in your family or 5 in your family? Did you make 3 meals out of the beans and tomatoes or 5. Not clear to me.
There are 4 in my family so each meal is meant to feed at least 4.
Omg my friend was texing and accidentally texted it to your page promise not drunk ( yet )
hahahaha...I was wondering!

First of all rice looks gummy. You should saute the bell pepper and onion and cut it up. Too much water in red beans
See, I'm out of it already. I don't own an instant pot.
