I'm coming to your house to eat! Add a chef hat to your list of talents. Most of all I appreciate your honesty about the product quality. I love your cooking videos! 😊 yummy!
Great video, Jamie and thank you for sharing these yummy recipes! 😃 Also SO HAPPY to see that you’ve surpassed 90K subscribers. 🙌🏻100K, we’re heading your way!
Really liking your channel with the mix of Dollar Tree, crafts, cooking. Whatever else you do, please share. I like your humble personality and your voice is soothing. Truly!
OMGOODNESS!!! Can’t wait to try these recipes, they look fabulous! Thank you so much for doing these food recipes first us. I’m 75, live alone and very VERY close to the Dollar Tree. These meals are easy, fast, delicious and will leave me with some left overs( but not a roasting pan full )! 🤣😊
Have you tried the beef crumbles? I was a little skeptical when I bought it but it exceeded my expectations. I get the beef crumbles, a bag of fries (from dollar tree as well), and a can of cheese sauce or the jalapeno Velveeta pouches. Nacho fries with spicy beef
Be sure to harvest your 3-4 inch lambsquarter before tilling raised beds for planting. Freeze the tender tops for pasta, ramen, omelets. Free and nutritious. I keep those and end of season squash blossoms for quick extra taste and color all year long.
Instead of tomato soup, try tomato sauce and broth, probably chicken but veggie broth works, too. I do 2 parts tomato sauce to 1 part broth. Add a tablespoon of tomato paste if you want.
Can’t wait to try these recipes, we are $1,800 in vet bills for our 5 month old puppy that diddly became very ill. That is money we did not expect to spend, sadly we still don’t know what is wrong with him, but gratefully it’s not Parvo! Anyway this means we have very little to go towards groceries, I can’t wait to try the Pot sticker soup, it gives me the impression it will taste like wonton soup. The meatballs, pizza, etc. All look doable and yummy.
The Hereford beef crumbles are actually pretty good. At Walmart, they'll cost you three dollars, and change. At Dollar Tree, $1.25 per envelope. I bought 10 envelopes a week ago, and I'm already down to 4 left. ( They mix well with cheap macaroni and cheese. ) They are a little spicy though.
Very creative recipes! I have purchased the spicy beef crumbles. They are a wonderful, cost-effective way to add protein, but be aware they are quite spicy! My hubby was not able to enjoy the meal I made with it.
I'm allergic to mushrooms so I substitute on that. I do a quick "stroganoff" meal using Campbell's Cream of Bacon condensed soup, meatballs (or vienna sausages works), an onion, and ramen noodles. I sometimes even add some bacon bits to it. . Another recipe is to use ramen noodles, Campbell's Cream of Chicken with Herbs condensed soup, an onion (chopped and sauteed), a can of chunk chicken, and some shaker Parmesan cheese. My version of Alfredo without the expensive sauce. . I have a quick way to cook ramen noodles: I use one of those trays that are made for microwaving them but don't need the microwave. I put the noodles in the tray and use my Keurig without a coffee pod, and set for 12 oz or the large 'cup' setting (but not the travel mug setting). I let the noodles sit for 4 minutes in the hot water and then stir in my seasonings. They are nice and warm to eat, but not enough to burn my mouth.
@@pyrosmoak53 As an update, I can't get refrigerated or frozen foods at my local Dollar Tree, as they are in a strip mall with Shaw's/Osco. Shaw's has exclusivity rights to refrigerated or frozen food items, so even though the Dollar Tree is the biggest one in the area, they are forbidden from carrying anything except bottled water, soda and cans of Peace Tea that's cold. Thankfully, Shaw's has its "Signature Series" brands that are reasonably priced. I keep telling Dollar Tree to move across the street or down the street where there' are vacant stores. Also, after recently raising prices to $1.25 for most items, they merged with Dollar General, and now have some items with higher prices, but more of a variety.
We don’t have dollar tree where I live which is in the Southern Hemisphere and not the same range or variety of processed foods you Americans have but on a budget you can really do a great deal with cheap canned and packaged stuff by mixing it with fresh in season stuff and make healthy great tasting meals at lower cost. I love this type of cooking here.
Thank you for sharing this! This gives me ideas for meals for my son and thinking of ways to make plant based versions for me. With the gnocchi, we have tried it with salsa and it is yummy! When I make my plant based chili, I add pureed pumpkin to help thicken it up. You don't even taste the pumpkin because of the seasonings used. For some of the recipes, I usually make my own bread, cheese, and ground meat. Didn't know Dollar tree started having Old Fashion oats. Those oat meals are also known as over night oats among the plant based community. For me I would use apples that I have sliced, peeled, cored and cut into chunks and sautéed in water until softened, and then added a touch of cinnamon for a bit of extra flavor. With the pureed pumpkin, I would add pumpkin pie spice or the spices used in pumpkin pie. Sorry, just don't like cherries. With the nuts, I would grind them up before adding them, at least until I can get dentures so that I can munch on them again. My son likes to get cheap cheese pizza and put anchovies on them and bake them. He loves stroganoff and makes his own with two different kinds of mushroom soups ( one is roasted garlic), one can of beef broth and a can of mushrooms. Maybe I should tell him about adding some meatballs. Dollar tree also has Plant milk that is shelf stable. Both almond and oat. Don't use the oat milk in coffee. It doesn't mix well with it for some odd reason. It can be used for smoothies and other things. My son likes the sweetened almond milk for his coffee and to just drink. He is not vegan or plant based and likes some of my food which makes it hard for me to have enough leftovers to last about a week or two. Here I am getting all wordy again. Again, thank you for sharing this as it gives me all sorts of ideas for my son and I to be able to get some foods on the cheap whenever possible.Thank you.
Happy Sunday Jamie and Otis 🐈💙 you sure outdid yourself Jamie you definitely made all these gourmet style for sure. It all looks so delicious with your twist thank you for sharing enjoy and see you in your next video 🌈🦋💙🐈
You should like some of the 3-can soup recipes you can find online. My favorite is fat-free refried beans, broth, and Rotel (or any chunky tomatoes). You can add things like the beef crumbles, chicken, etc., too.
WOW, Awesome recipes Jamie, So cheap to make to, they ALL LOOKED SO YUMMY, I am going to try them all of them is a change up, we all look for new things to eat, you are amazing cooking these things up. Didn't take long either. Some of these ingredients I have never tasted so looking forward to trying them. Thankyou I love this kind of video as it gives us new cheap dinners to try. Many Blessings
Really great recipes. I love shopping at dollar tree but often I get a little tired of the same old same old and those were really original recipes and I love soup too but I’ve never known what to do with the potstickers except cook them and dip them in some kind of sauce, thank you for your wonderful recipes Patricia from Connecticut
I love the collapsible kitchen accessories. I have the measuring cups like yours. I have a colander recommended by Julia Pacheco. It rests over the sink. Love it! I also have collapsible food storage/ Tupperware containers & mixing bowls with lids I bought on Amazon. We have a small kitchen & had to make every inch count. No pantry, small. We assembled a pantry cabinet from closetmaid on a side wall next to the cabinets that act as a pantry. 86' built house... Anyway I love anything collapsible that actually works. Space saving is a must.
This video was right on time. Just this morning i was thinking about a can of pumpkin I have and what I was going to make with it. I never thought about putting it overnight oats. Perfect timing. Thanks for sharing. Love how the meal are quick and easy.
If you add some DT sour cream or 1/2 block of DT cream cheese style cheese to your beef stroganoff swedish meat ball style DT meal it's extra yummy. Add a little bit of worchestershire from your pantry for extra flavor, so good.
Oh my, everything looks really yummy! Can't wait to give some of these a try! Thank you Jamie for sharing these budget friendly meals!! I hope you will be sharing some more of these recipes ♥♥

@@cynsi7604 Oh I know, I was excited to learn there is frozen fresh spinach. I've always seen the small box of slimy spinach but never fresh! I have to look for it
That meat chopper tool is amazing. I got one for myself and one for my mom. I have washed mine several times in the dishwasher and it is in great shape.
Great ideas. I'm figuring these meals for the week to be about $70.00 or so? Bargain. Wish I had yt cooks like you years ago to watch and learn. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed this very much. With so many crummy recipie short videos now I was pleasantly surprised to see some low price one pot meals. Nice variety too. New sub.
These all look super easy and delicious! Here's a meal I make for a breakfast or dinner: Brown 1/2 diced medium onion in PAM spray or Avocado oil or Olive Oil. Add in 1 package Jimmy Dean sausages ( from DT frozen section - I cut mine up so I get more browned caramelized goodness) and brown lightly. Add about 3Tablespoons flour (all purpose or any variety of gluten-free) and cook about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add about 1-1.5 cups milk (cow's milk or non-dairy milk, such as oat milk). Simmer until slightly thickened. Serve over a heated, split biscuit, or mashed potatoes or rice or even a piece of browned toast. It's very tasty comfort food, and you can't beat the price!
Enjoy you sharing your recipes, some day I will share some of mine with vegetables and my chicken enchiladas with white sauce. I will look for the crumbled beef, I hope it comes plain and not spicy. Stay safe and God bless😊
Super impressed! These dishes look so good! Thanks for trying out the beef crumbles. I saw these and wondered if they were good. I'll try them since you like them.😊👍
Hey Jamie and ty so very much!! I live alone with my 2 cats, (hey Mr Otis) and love fresh spinach..it seems I can’t ever eat all of it before it goes bad but now I know what to do! Throw it in the freezer! Again you are the bomb! Yes I’m telling my age when I say that but I love all your tips, hints & hacks! Keep it coming! 😊❤
I really like the meal ideas you created. Know these are easy to convert for people on certain diets as myself. I had never considered buying food at the the Dollar Tree outside of a snack. Thank you 👍
Everything looks delicious. I want to try the potstickers with the sauce you used on the pasta that you used the chili sauce. These are really great recipes. Thanks for sharing these ideas.
I am working on one now as a matter fact, first I have a mystery box video coming out on Friday and then the next will probably be a dollar tree cooking video
I like your show and your original use of dollar tree products. If you were thinking of purchasing the pizza sauce at dollar tree, please don’t it taste terrible but I do agree with your use of the Hunts tomato sauce. Everything looks really yummy and I’m definitely going to try the meatballs with the mushroom soup and noodles. Well done Patricia from Connecticut.
Hi a tip if don't like soggy crust bake the crust for 5 minutes then add your sauce and all the toppings you want & cook another 8 minutes & perfect every time in my oven I have a GE stove if that helps😊
Love the spinach idea! I always have soinach die in my fridge 😢 But not anymore! 👏💅😆 Thank you. What great meals from the dollar store. And your hinest opinion is admirable.
If I was still living alone I would definitely take advantage of all of these recipes. I want them right now! But now, cooking for a family of four, I do make similar meals but go about it a different way. My niece told me about freezing bagged spinach and I keep forgetting to do it. It keeps you from throwing out bedraggled greens, which we end up doing just about every week. Great, resourceful ideas, Jamie.
New to your channel make tomatoe soup with a can of tomato sauce a half can (the tomato sauce can) of water (or your 1% milk) some celery salt, onion powder, pepper and a pat of butter. Works great. First time here going to check out more.
I love this! I've bookmarked it and will refer back to it as needed. Thank you so much for doing the research and the testing and for sharing your results with us.
If you change up your spaghetti noodles for ramen noodles and add a tablespoon or two of peanut butter it is one of my favorite cheap meals. You can add whatever protein and extra veggies you have, if you add chicken it is very mivh like Pad Thai.
Thanks for the tip! Somebody told me to combine Catalina dressing and peanut butter along with some chili Thai spice to create a Pad Thai type of sauce
Thank you for these recipes I always make grilled cheese sandwiches with the garlic bread,but I have never tried the other recipes, but I'm definitely going to do the beef stroganoff this weekend.
Wow!! I would love to try some of those recipes 😋 I think, for the pizza, I would use my favorite Western dressing and make a chicken B.B.Q. pizza. I can't handle spicy ❤❤

Grocer prices are through the roof! I thank heaven for every humble crumb.
Totally agree, food prices are too expensive
if you go by ounces, it is cheaper and better quality at the grocery store now. from 8 oz to 6 oz to 4 oz at the dollar tree but now $1.25. sad

For those with Aldi anywhere nearby, their house brand tomato soup is quite good (and cheap) Thanks for the video!
I also freeze fresh spinach - it's much better than buying frozen spinach!
Freezer burn spinach is disgusting

Dollar Tree by my house has the beef crumbles SOMETIMES. Now I see it in other stores for 3+ dollars now. This is why we can't have nice things lol
Dollar tree beef patties are surprisingly good
Thank you for letting me know 😊I will try the beef patties next time 😊
Thanks for the tip!🍔
The Contadina brand pizza sauce, which dollar tree usually has, is really good. It comes in a squeeze bottle.
I've never seen that but I'll look for it

In Canada there are no fridge or freezer groceries. Only dried foods. I wish they did. I do love the Dollar tree seasonings.
Also with Clark's tomato soup add sage and one Roma tomato cut in small pieces improves flavor

New to your channel make tomatoe soup with a can of tomato sauce a half can (the tomato sauce can) of water (or your 1% milk) some celery salt, onion powder, pepper and a pat of butter. Works great. First time here going to check out more.
Great tips, Jamie! I look forward to trying some of these dishes.❤
These are such good ideas! I love your attitude too. You seem a postive chill dude. 😊🎉
Thanks so much!!
HiJamie, Great menu ideas. Can't wait to put in action as I'm meal preppkng. Especially helpful for our busy lives. ❤ Have a great week. See you soon
Thanks for sharing. I have seen the beef crumbles but I wasn't sure how good it would be. I will definitely be trying your recipes.
I love this! I've bookmarked it and will refer back to it as needed. Thank you so much for doing the research and the testing and for sharing your results with us.
That milk is better than Mayfield It's organic and really good ice cold.
If you change up your spaghetti noodles for ramen noodles and add a tablespoon or two of peanut butter it is one of my favorite cheap meals. You can add whatever protein and extra veggies you have, if you add chicken it is very mivh like Pad Thai.
Thanks for the tip! Somebody told me to combine Catalina dressing and peanut butter along with some chili Thai spice to create a Pad Thai type of sauce
Oh my goodness thank you so much for sharing your delicious meals with us. Have a great weekend.😋 👍
Thank you too
Thank you for these recipes I always make grilled cheese sandwiches with the garlic bread,but I have never tried the other recipes, but I'm definitely going to do the beef stroganoff this weekend.
Hope you enjoy
Great way to jazz up tomatoe soup, I wil defiantly be trying that idea. LOVE YOUR VIDOES (AND OTIS)!!
They all look so yummy! My Dollar Store doesn't have a fridge or freezer section, but the recipes are still do able!
Thank you for sharing such great ideas. Going to freeze my fresh spinach also. Have a Blessed day

I’ve never added potatoes to my chili but will try it next time

Wow!! I would love to try some of those recipes 😋 I think, for the pizza, I would use my favorite Western dressing and make a chicken B.B.Q. pizza. I can't handle spicy ❤❤
Yum!!!
