I live on a small disability pension. I ate ramen for a long time but after i saw Wolfe making all these great meals so inexpensively i started to try them. My dinners are way better now and i spend the same. Thanks Wolfe! These videos are awesome.
Uh.... try to eat healthier especially if you're disabled ? Beans and vegetables are super cheap Tuna is super cheap You don't have to eat poison just because you're on a budget
It's also about a feeling of control, isn't it? Even if the ingredients are cheap, you still get a personalized meal that will never be the exact same twice. "I might be poor, but I decide what goes onto my sandwich, not big corpo!"
@@itsok6640 most of Wolfe's meals have plenty of veg in them, some are even vegetarian entirely. This is just a last resort kind of meal when you can't even afford beans and you need to use whatever's left in your fridge. Don't judge.
@@thaliacrafts407 bro beans are still less expensive .... So your point isn't even valid You're literally judging my comment and then telling me not to judge.... Big brain hypocrite time

@@H.P.Blavatsky i subscribed as soon i saw the alfredo video and i don't even really eat alfredo that much, i can already tell this is some quality stuff
I used to make sandwiches like this for my old-fashioned, farm-raised daddy all the time, only with salami. I remember just how he liked it. Egg cooked hard with lots of black pepper and American cheese. I miss you, dad.
Can I just say how much I appreciate that you don’t shame people who are living on a tight budget?? There are so many “five *healthy* meal ideas for under $5 per serving!!!” videos that assume A) people have enough to spend $5 per serving, B) that people have the time to prepare the often more labor intensive healthy meals, and C) that they have access to stores that stock a variety of fresh produce. This meal is quick, easy to prepare in bulk to save time later, and much more readily accessible in a food desert. Eating healthy is great, but getting food in your belly when you need it is great too.
"Stores that stock a variety of fresh products" The US is really a weird place. The culture is so non existent that only industrial packaged food is considered normal for the poor. Everywhere else in the world, low cost supermarkets have fresh basic vegetables at a cheap price. And also super cheap fresh bread ... It all comes down to culture. When the poor don't buy fresh bread, low cost supermarkets can't sell fast enough to keep it fresh. It creates a feedback loop where the US poor are forced to eat garbage because all the US poor only know how to eat garbage.
@@Bvic3 it didn’t used to be like this. You gotta realize in the US a large majority of the poor are children being raised by single moms who work multiple jobs to survive. The moms don’t have the time to cook anything. The kids survive on TV dinners, an fast food.
@@Bvic3 certain states can only grow certain produce between shipping weather and a assortment of other reasons, including markets aren't available in many neighborhoods in certain parts of major cities is crime, this wasn't the case 40 50 years ago so it's not a cultural thing.
I cried over food insecurity twice in my life. Once after eating Mac and cheese for three weeks straight while going to school and once more when I had to rely on food stamps. Things are much better now. There’s money in the bank, a roof over our heads, cars in the garage, pocket money for the kids and extra to help the less fortunate. I wish this channel was around when I was younger, it would have helped so much.
In my 20s, for about 3 months when I was inbetween jobs I ate one baked potato a day, if I was feeling extravagant I'd add half a tin of baked beans or make a cheap bolognese to go with it. If I got bored of that I would switch to making a my watery mac-mac soup (water, 1stock cube, macaroni, a tin of mackerel or sardines). Or the other cheap dish was rice with eggs different ways. Fried or hard boiled with drizzling of Maggi sauce, Or crispy omelette with ketchup. Good thing about eating like that was I lost a lot of weight. Not sure if it was healthy though.
As a college student who rents, this channel has really helped me, especially now when our dining hall hours have been drastically shortened due to covid
My mother managed to feed 5 big and hungry people in the mid-70s on a severe budget and bologne and egg sandwiches were a common staple for dinner. I applaud you, Larry, for presenting these videos. People in America are hungry and hurting and we need more information such as this. Our grandparents and great-grandparents saw no shame in making every penny count and it's time we re-learned that lesson now that hard times have come our way again. Cheers!
Not only in America, also in Europe. I live in Germany and we are still doing well, but many jobs are shaky. Nothing good is in store for us ... Worldwide
@ just because you're not struggling doesn't mean no one isn't. Some people only got on check. Or there are people who live in another country that doesn't give out checks. These videos give great ideas to how to eat food that will fill you up. And also healthy vegetables and red meats are always more expensive than wheats and filler foods. Anyways, Hope you always have a roof over your head and food on your table. God bless you, Ma'am.
@ Sharon you come off as a huge a hole when you say stuff like this. There are indeed poor people out in the world, even in the united states. Some people gotta make due with what they got. You must've lived a very sheltered life and haven't experienced hardship, lucky for you.
If you’re poor, I strongly recommend a bottle of hot sauce. It adds a ton of flavor to anything and helps you from getting bored of eating the same stuff. I love hot sauce and it makes even cheap bland food palatable for me
This got recommended to me and as a poor southerner I’ve survived off of these for weeks. So much props to you for making a video to help out. 4$ for 9 Sammiches or 3 days worth for one person is super helpful.
These videos Wolfe, although i enjoy watching them, they bring back incredible emotions for me. My mother used to really stretch the budget when it came to food. She had 9 mouths to feed after my father passed away! She had to do with a very little that was available to her.... may God bless her for what she had gone through for us...
I remember so many times not having food in the house, or having struggle meals to get through till the food stamps dropped or my mom got paid. being poor is rough, and these videos are such godsend for those who are going through hard times.
I grew up poor and learned a lot of cheap meals. My kids have never known hunger, but I teach them frugal cooking. We watch these videos and they learn too, to value what they do have when many have less.
My dad used to make these as a midnight snack we fry them in the cast iron and butter cut them crossways and dip them in tomato soup it's a real favorite of mine that I come back to now that he's passed away
Honestly, as a food lover being poor can be really disheartening coming out of school in debt, unable to find a job. But learning to enjoy simple, cheap meals is honestly a lifesaver. I'm Asian, so most of my cheap meals I ended up eating were just a bowl of rice with something cheap on top (chili oil, fried egg, dried shredded pork, et cetera) but that's something I didn't come to learn to appreciate until I realized how expensive just eating can be.
I grew up poor so I watch these videos as a comfort thing as I still make meals like these to this day. The highlight of really spicing up cheap food is the amount of times you learn how to do it on your own. food lovers may be disheartened at first having to deal with the limited options, but it gets better once you learn to appreciate the freedom it gives you to experiment. One example is that my mother would make just plain ol' rice and the family wouldn't eat it all so I got the leftovers. So, I'd grab my pan, put it on the grill and fry it up with some soy sauce, garlic powder, egg and an Italian seasoning mix. It was worth saving up money for a bottle of sesame oil every month to do this as I'd turn a boring leftover into something my family fought over, which was 100% inspired by the very few times where my family had enough money to go to a hibachi grill on special occasions. (usually my grandparents paid the bill for it. They had money but not enough to pull my mother out of her crippling debt attained by her unending desire to rent out luxury electronics like a fool) Another simple, yet fine dish is to get some chili oil (or any oil) and just mix all purpose flour and water to make a flatbread to fry, then season it with onion salt and a touch of garlic powder. Hell, one classic thing I'd do sometimes is just use peanut butter by heating it up and combining it with a bit of honey and using it as a sauce to drizzle over instant ramen instead of using the flavor packets.
I am Asian too and learned that with some rice or oatmeal, you can put almost anything on top that you have to make a meal. A fried egg with even a packet of taco bell sauce instead of soy sauce can change the flavor. Green onions will continuously grow so just keep them in a glass of water and cut off the tops as you need them. If you do get meat, make soup with anything you have available. It's delicious and will stretch your Budget far.
Fried bologna is actually good as hell. For as bad as its reputation might be, it genuinely is one of the most incredible developments of society that something so good is so cheap.
Yeah bologna is definitely my favorite sandwich meat. I like to fry it and put it over white rice and put very little soy sauce cause the bologna is so flavorful and full of sodium. Also I like to fry it up with corn tortillas and mix it with scrambled eggs
I mean this isn’t that bad at all. I remember when “spam” was considered gross and cheap, but now you’ll find it a trendy restaurants as a breakfast item. This is the perfect meal for camping or before going fishing.
Kings don't generally eat fried Bologna. You meant to say you eat well. Not like a king at all. I don;t think I would even enjoy eating like a King all that much. Once in a while would be nice.
Bologna sandwiches got me through my terrible employment at Toys R Us, the deli had wunderbar bologna for $1.29 a pound, 99 when it was on sale (Bar-S would be cheaper but *man* was the wunderbar better flavor wise, while still being hella affordable, like a high-end low-end bologna somehow), and a 79 cent loaf of white bread. I'd grab packets of mayonnaise out of the sandwich bar because they didn't mind and it was free.
I was wondering how much extra it would cost to add a package of Great Value hash-browns in the mix. A package looks like it would cost $2.24 (26 ounces), but could go towards way more than nine sandwiches. Brown them up beforehand and add them with the bologna, egg, and cheese...
I call em burnt bologna because my grandpa made em for me he always cooked em well done (burnt af in the outside). That's the only way I can eat a bologna sammich now. Burnt bologna, grilled onions and cheese! So good!
I swear if i have to choose my favourite meal ever and what i can eat whenever and ill be happy it is burnt thin bologna slice with a bit of mustard and ketchup on the side and mashed potatoes.Simple yet to me this is taste buds gasm.Low maintenance man here.Burnt bologna,pepsi and Ferrero Rocher and im good to go hahaha.
Most of the "budget meals" I make are one-pot recipes, that feature rice, beans, pasta, or potatoes as the largest ingredient. Not only do the carbs stretch out the meat, but also makes it actually filling. All you need otherwise is a sauce or gravy. That's my opinion as someone who grew up broke, and spent much of my youth that way too. For the record, I still cook like that because it tastes good and I still like being cheap.
Ive been using my crockpot more often, you can usually find a pound or two of corned beef(not the microwaveable stuff) or something similar for cheap. It usually feeds 4 people with some cheap sides from either the dollar tree and 99 cent store.
I love these videos I’m a single mom and I’m going to college and one of my kids has special needs so these have been helping me with ideas! Thank you!
I learned a new word today: "toastification." I've had baloney and cheese sandwiches and I've had cheese and egg sandwiches, but I've never had a baloney, egg and cheese sandwich. That's a damn fine looking sammich.
In the mood for a tuna sandwich but the cost of tuna is going high? Boil up a couple of eggs, chop them up and add to a small can of tuna. My family loves our tuna/egg sandwiches. Put in a little mayo, and you've got a good sandwich for cheap.
When I was younger and would have to make myself or my siblings lunch, bologna sandwiches on the forman grill always hit the spot! Brings back memories!
Beans and cornbread. Fed me every other day during childhood. An onion and a bag of pintos and a leftover piece of pork or if you didn't have that add in some bacon grease. One batch makes a TON.
That was a staple at our house through the fall and winter as well. Can't say looked forward to them considering how often we had them, but they were hot, filling, and got us through lean times.
The fact that so many of these comments talk about people suffering from food insecurity really upsets me. I've never had to worry about this but my heart goes out to every one of you.
OMG... my favorite breakfast, this was my go to breakfast when I worked outside of the house... because I could cook eggs and bologna in one skillet and toast my bread in the toaster while pouring coffee in the thermos all done in 4 mins flat... so i could catch that extra 5 mins of sleep... and it tastes great every time.
I remember eating these ages ago and go back to them from time to time. I'm not on a budget but they are sooo damn good. I never did eggs on them though, just fried bologna and cheese. I would definitely now add some sriracha mayo to them. EDIT: I ended up making these over the weekend with said ingredients. Bologna, eggs, american cheese, 'Italian' bread instead of white to try to get larger slices, and sriracha mayo. It was soooo good and it was super cheap. I just got oskar meyer bologna and did two slices per sandwiches (2 total for myself)
Pro Tip: Toast your bread first to avoid having to clean a hot griddle in the middle of cooking. Place your cheese on the hot eggs with the already cooked bologna on top, then assemble the Sammie. The hot eggs will melt the cheese and warm up the bologna and bread. The cooking order should be: Bread Bologna Eggs Assemble
Yep. I make fried egg and cheese sandwiches all the time and always toast the bread first. Sometimes when I have extra money I buy a pack of bacon and a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread for my egg sandwiches.
I grew up eating fried balogna but never thought to add eggs or cheese! My mom always cuts an x in the middle of the bologna and then a line on the rim between the lines of the x. I cook my bologna on medium-low heat to avoid the burning and never use butter or margarine. It's a nice hot meal. I'm going to have to try it with egg and cheese now!
We had similar ones made in oven when I was a child. One piece of bread, bologna, cheese. I use to love mine with slice of tomato. On Saturday evenings it was our snack. I live in Finland 🇫🇮
In times like our current economic troubles it’s very important for people to learn how to cook wholesome meals on a budget. Processed foods aren’t the best for you but if you know what you’re doing you can feed your family nutritious meals for much less than you’d originally think. These sandwiches contain fats, carbs, and proteins, all of which are calorie rich and filling, in addition to being flavorful. I remember plenty of meals as a kid where my dad would fry some of these up for supper and we’d all have a nice time munching away.
I came from a family where "eating on budget" was part of our name. When people say they can't feed themselves these days I do wonder what they heck they ate eating. Great stuff wolfe! Keep it up
Sadly a lot of people grow up on ready meals. Just a trait of modern living I’m afraid. I count myself lucky that My Dear Old Mumsie was a keen cook, and my grandparents keen bakers. Whilst I wasn’t exactly taught to cook, I gleaned enough for a starting point.
Thank you sir ...much appreciated...i grew up on peanut butter and jelly when we had it...the usda kind or wic type....my goal is to one day have a bakery/soup kitchen to help out the poor and less fortunate....ramen soups and rice and beans is why im still alive...when we went out as kids my mother could only afford to rent a room so we would go to the library or park alot....some times all she could afford was 1 or 2 small hamburger from mc Donalds ...food at home would run out fast in our family of 5 kid and a single mother...she would cut the burger in 5 pieces so we could eat something...same at home it was 1 top ramen soup for all of us and she would not eat sometimes so we could...years later she found few places where they gave out food to take home....she later joined to volunteer and organized more locations and people to donate food and such ....life is worth every struggle ahead of us ...we will all come out of this darkness together...just be patient as there is alot of us ...

I know this may sound strange but in the UK we have something called ‘toaster bags’. You just put together a regular sandwich, put it in the bag then stick the sandwich in the bag in the toaster. Quick and simple. Also I’m a big fan of TheWolfPit channel and all the great videos you do Larry. Budget food is a good thing as you might unexpectedly run out of money one month or you might need to save for something in the future.
@@Firsona I am with you...cheese on it sounds weird...but then again when I was young I ate potato chip and mayonaise sandwiches...so I have no room to talk.
Man this takes me back lol, I remember my mom used to make me bologna tacos I never knew I was the only one in my friend group who’s parents weren’t rich but they always said they loved the tacos when they come over lol.
The other day I went to McDonald's and got a $4.50 Egg McMuffin. For that price, I could buy 12 eggs, a dozen English muffins, a pack of Canadian bacon, and a pack of American cheese.
Amen... Anytime I spend money for fast food I always feel regretful. Sometimes it’s stuff I know I can’t make, but when it’s something like as simple as a nice sandwich I always feel bad.
@@Zavakar At my local grocery store. A dozen eggs is $1, a dozen English muffins is $1, a pack of American cheese is roughly $1, and Canadian bacon is probably $2.
When I was a kid my parents did not have a lot of money. We did not consider ourselves poor, but looking back 60 years later I am sure we would be called poor today. While we always had a roof over our heads and enough food on the table we rarely ate out and my mom made casseroles, chili beans, SOS, bologna sandwiches, grilled cheese, oatmeal (mush ) and other homemade foods. I did not like the bologna cold, but when it was grilled it was just fine. We never tried this layered breakfast sandwich, but I am sure we 3 kids would have loved it. Now that I am grown and have more money than my parents ever had, I still enjoy cooking at home most of the time and will try some of your recipes. I am sure they are very helpful to struggling families with young boys at home. Boys are always eating and seem to eat twice as much as girls. Thanks so much for the videos. Your down-to-earth presentations are excellent.
Also, for those who don’t know, mayonnaise can be used as a substitute on the exterior side of the bread for toasting, instead of butter or margarine. My wife and daughter hate mayo on its own, but actually prefer it on toasted sandwiches, like this or grilled cheese because you can just spread it on and go and there’s no real taste difference, and you don’t tear up the bread like with butter that’s not at room temperature.
@Brock Main3 I call underrated because a lot of people where I’m from will eat it and then act like they don’t when asked. So basically if you eat bologna where I’m from people will just assume you’re poor.
Mr. WolfePit, I come by this channel every so often to peruse, and I especially love these cheap meal videos. I honestly feel you're doing such a good service for folks who can barely afford to live as everything around us just gets more expensive. My wife and I got married very young, and had a baby shortly after. This sort of info would have been invaluable for us at that time of our life. Too bad UA-cam wouldn't come along for another few years then. 😜 But your channel was still 10 years out. I hope that those who really need it find your channel and your invaluable information. Even now that we have good jobs and a stable life, your recipes are a good source of inspiration. If disaster ever strikes us, I'm sure we'll at least be able to eat, with your channel to thank. Bless your Sir!
Absolutely beautiful and by far my favorite kind of quick and cheap breakfast. Your audience truly appreciates videos like this where we can learn to stretch a dollar here and there without sacrificing delicious flavor.
There has been times when money was/is tight and this is my go to for me and my wife! Next to using a lot of rice and cheaper chicken. There are so many ways to make decent meals on a budget and I know people trying the good ole fried bologna sandwich for the first time are going to love this! Thanks for continuing this series I love getting new ideas from you bro.
Despite what you read online, margarine is not plastic nor was it invented to fatten turkeys, it was invented in france during a butter shortage around 150 years ago as an alternative to butter and used beef tallow. If you read the modern ingredients on the side of the box they no longer have beef tallow in them, they are basically all made from whipped vegetable oil, there is nothing fake about it.
He used Imperial brand margarine, in my opinion it tastes just like butter and is much cheaper and marginally better for you. It's the only thing I buy and use.
@@jonas189 I'm aware of all of that, perhaps you shouldn't make assumptions what other people know or where they get information. It is imitation butter, which makes it fake and inferior in taste and texture. It's still worth the price to use real butter
@@Daniel-ou4fb It's actually not imitation butter, it's a substitute which isn't quite the same thing, like when a vegan substitutes tofu for chicken, the tofu isn't a chicken imitation. Eat what you want though or go without, that's your decision.
Love your channel. Reminds me of my childhood. If you like fried bologna, get yourself some Taylor Ham or Pork Roll. It's a staple in New Jersey and Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese on a Kaiser Roll will make you never want to eat another breakfast sandwich.
I love your word "toastification" and will happily vote to have it added to the Merriam-Webster and any other dictionaries! Thank you for all your wonderful videos about eating on a budget!
Chicken fried rice: cook 2cups rice in pot; chop up 2-3 lbs chicken (.99c a pound) and saute in oil, season with garlic, onion, pepper, ginger. Add a bag of frozen mixed vegetables $1 them scramble a few eggs .60c into mix. Once that's done add more oil/ fat to the pan and toss in the rice and fry 5 minutes. Add soy sauce and enjoy. Less than $6 for 8-10 people
I did something similar to this while I was traveling for work living in hotel rooms. That's a lot of fried eggs, French toast and grilled cheese on a flat iron
This is one of my son's favorite meals! Except I make homemade biscuits...so yummie!! Love your videos. The recipes are very good and never disappoint.
When I needed to make a few dollars last more than a week, I bought 2 loaves of cheap bread, 2 packs of bologna & mustard. I'd have just enough left over for a few packs of koolaid & a couple big bags of chips.
Thank you for this. It validates what I've been making all these years. Times were tough and I found that soy sauce instead of salt on the eggs take this to a whole new level. Try it!!!
I stumbled upon this by accident because I have been viewing other cooking videos. I’ve been lucky in my life to have never needed these “How to survive by really cheap eating” videos. I salute the producer of these videos, and it speaks to the inequities of USA society in 2021 that this gentleman's productions are even necessary.
May GOD BLESS YA for including your DAUGHTER in your CHANNEL! You have NO IDEA HOW MUCH this kind of INFO "STRETCHES" the BUDGET as MUCH as you STRETCH the "MINDSET" for those who NEED a NEW DIRECTION!
Something similar to this but also good is Korean egg sandwiches, it's basically a (sometimes cheese) eggs beaten with cabage bits with ketchup and mayo on toasted bread.I've added bologna before too. It's definitly my go to cheap budget meal.
Actually, that looks like a tasty weekend breakfast sandwich whether you're on a budget or not. "Toastification" should be in the next round of new words for the dictionary. Just saying....
your videos are informing, hilarious, sad, amazing , truthful.....etc. you're an excellent human being. don't know your daughter but tell I think you're a true humanitarian .
My wife is also a manager at dollar tree some stuff I will eat from there some stuff I absolutely have to pass on....but thank God for you Mr.Wolfe you show me what's worth buying from there and what's not!...my senior mother even watches your channel!...keep up the good work and I love!!! Fried Bologna and with eggs makes it even better...perfect breakfast sandwich!
Having had issues with sodium for many years, one small trick I used is that before I cut the slits in the bologna, I rinse it off to get rid of a lot of the salt. Of course, it also reduces some of the fat (or 'bologna juice' as Mr. Wolfe likes to call it), especially if you rinse it under warm/hot water.
Looks delicious. We didn’t have a lot of money growing up. Fried baloney was a staple. Never had it as a grilled sandwich. Mom would fry up thick slices with warmed up (our lingo for refried) potatoes, and a vegetable. My favourite was slices of tomato from our garden. Thank you for sharing Sir. Respects from Canada

In my 20s, for about 3 months when I was inbetween jobs I ate one baked potato a day, if I was feeling extravagant I'd add half a tin of baked beans or make a cheap bolognese to go with it. If I got bored of that I would switch to making a my watery mac-mac soup (water, 1stock cube, macaroni, a tin of mackerel or sardines). Or the other cheap dish was rice with eggs different ways. Fried or hard boiled with drizzling of Maggi sauce, Or crispy omelette with ketchup.

@ just because you're not struggling doesn't mean no one isn't. Some people only got on check. Or there are people who live in another country that doesn't give out checks. These videos give great ideas to how to eat food that will fill you up. And also healthy vegetables and red meats are always more expensive than wheats and filler foods. Anyways, Hope you always have a roof over your head and food on your table. God bless you, Ma'am.
@ Congratulations on being so sheltered you cannot see the suffering of your neighbors. Blessings be upon you.
@ Sharon you come off as a huge a hole when you say stuff like this. There are indeed poor people out in the world, even in the united states. Some people gotta make due with what they got. You must've lived a very sheltered life and haven't experienced hardship, lucky for you.
@ you do know that 600 isn't much right? lmao that shit was gone before it came for some folks
If you’re poor, I strongly recommend a bottle of hot sauce. It adds a ton of flavor to anything and helps you from getting bored of eating the same stuff. I love hot sauce and it makes even cheap bland food palatable for me
I hear ya, I always put it in ramen noodles
That's me but with sweet chili sauce. Tastes great on fries, pretty much every type of meat, a ton of vegetables, grilled cheese, eggs, you name it
Helps you spend more money in toilet paper too
@@toughntiny nah that’s just a myth. I only need to wipe 3 times every time I go and I’m done.

This got recommended to me and as a poor southerner I’ve survived off of these for weeks. So much props to you for making a video to help out. 4$ for 9 Sammiches or 3 days worth for one person is super helpful.
These videos Wolfe, although i enjoy watching them, they bring back incredible emotions for me.
My mother used to really stretch the budget when it came to food. She had 9 mouths to feed after my father passed away! She had to do with a very little that was available to her.... may God bless her for what she had gone through for us...
God bless them all. :)
that's so rough, God bless her indeed
🙏
God bless her
❤️❤️❤️
I remember so many times not having food in the house, or having struggle meals to get through till the food stamps dropped or my mom got paid. being poor is rough, and these videos are such godsend for those who are going through hard times.
I grew up poor and learned a lot of cheap meals. My kids have never known hunger, but I teach them frugal cooking. We watch these videos and they learn too, to value what they do have when many have less.
Add me to that list eating on a lean budget you can learn a lot eating low budget and making do with cheap brand food...
well on hard times you wouldn't have the internet to watch this.

My dad used to make these as a midnight snack we fry them in the cast iron and butter cut them crossways and dip them in tomato soup it's a real favorite of mine that I come back to now that he's passed away
Tomato soup and grilled cheese goes well together.
That is known as comfort food. Your Dad knew what was good!
Honestly, as a food lover being poor can be really disheartening coming out of school in debt, unable to find a job. But learning to enjoy simple, cheap meals is honestly a lifesaver. I'm Asian, so most of my cheap meals I ended up eating were just a bowl of rice with something cheap on top (chili oil, fried egg, dried shredded pork, et cetera) but that's something I didn't come to learn to appreciate until I realized how expensive just eating can be.
Start a pickle brine and just shove in cheap vegetable toppings you enjoy for noodles in there! Makes a 1$ bundle of carrots go a much further way.
Fried Spam!
Much healthier than many cheap meals. Hope you have found a job now and able to enjoy cooking yourself some nice meals 🙂
I grew up poor so I watch these videos as a comfort thing as I still make meals like these to this day. The highlight of really spicing up cheap food is the amount of times you learn how to do it on your own. food lovers may be disheartened at first having to deal with the limited options, but it gets better once you learn to appreciate the freedom it gives you to experiment.
One example is that my mother would make just plain ol' rice and the family wouldn't eat it all so I got the leftovers. So, I'd grab my pan, put it on the grill and fry it up with some soy sauce, garlic powder, egg and an Italian seasoning mix. It was worth saving up money for a bottle of sesame oil every month to do this as I'd turn a boring leftover into something my family fought over, which was 100% inspired by the very few times where my family had enough money to go to a hibachi grill on special occasions. (usually my grandparents paid the bill for it. They had money but not enough to pull my mother out of her crippling debt attained by her unending desire to rent out luxury electronics like a fool)
Another simple, yet fine dish is to get some chili oil (or any oil) and just mix all purpose flour and water to make a flatbread to fry, then season it with onion salt and a touch of garlic powder.
Hell, one classic thing I'd do sometimes is just use peanut butter by heating it up and combining it with a bit of honey and using it as a sauce to drizzle over instant ramen instead of using the flavor packets.
I am Asian too and learned that with some rice or oatmeal, you can put almost anything on top that you have to make a meal. A fried egg with even a packet of taco bell sauce instead of soy sauce can change the flavor. Green onions will continuously grow so just keep them in a glass of water and cut off the tops as you need them. If you do get meat, make soup with anything you have available. It's delicious and will stretch your Budget far.
Fried bologna is actually good as hell.
For as bad as its reputation might be, it genuinely is one of the most incredible developments of society that something so good is so cheap.
i love food for this reason, i love the fact that beautiful food can be found cheap and affordably
Yeah bologna is definitely my favorite sandwich meat. I like to fry it and put it over white rice and put very little soy sauce cause the bologna is so flavorful and full of sodium.
Also I like to fry it up with corn tortillas and mix it with scrambled eggs
Yumilicious!! 😋😋😋
I pretty much fry it all the time. I buy 15 pounds at a time when it's on sale. Our Dollar Tree don't have a cold section.
Thick cut bologna fried til it's almost black is actually pretty badass!😎👍
I mean this isn’t that bad at all. I remember when “spam” was considered gross and cheap, but now you’ll find it a trendy restaurants as a breakfast item. This is the perfect meal for camping or before going fishing.

@@gabrielpowers766it’s a figure of speech dude, relax
Bologna sandwiches got me through my terrible employment at Toys R Us, the deli had wunderbar bologna for $1.29 a pound, 99 when it was on sale (Bar-S would be cheaper but *man* was the wunderbar better flavor wise, while still being hella affordable, like a high-end low-end bologna somehow), and a 79 cent loaf of white bread. I'd grab packets of mayonnaise out of the sandwich bar because they didn't mind and it was free.
Hard to believe that’s only 39 cents a sandwich. Could’ve thrown some sautéed onions in for a little extra taste at that price. Love these videos!
I was wondering how much extra it would cost to add a package of Great Value hash-browns in the mix. A package looks like it would cost $2.24 (26 ounces), but could go towards way more than nine sandwiches. Brown them up beforehand and add them with the bologna, egg, and cheese...
Or if u couldn't afford it u can leave off chz
@@kncannon man I have never tried that but it sound incredible.
Great idea
I would say thinly sliced cucumber on the side for healthier options.
I call em burnt bologna because my grandpa made em for me he always cooked em well done (burnt af in the outside). That's the only way I can eat a bologna sammich now. Burnt bologna, grilled onions and cheese! So good!
I swear if i have to choose my favourite meal ever and what i can eat whenever and ill be happy it is burnt thin bologna slice with a bit of mustard and ketchup on the side and mashed potatoes.Simple yet to me this is taste buds gasm.Low maintenance man here.Burnt bologna,pepsi and Ferrero Rocher and im good to go hahaha.

@@pete1853 i buy Dollar Store ones they taste strange but still its my fancy vice in food
Most of the "budget meals" I make are one-pot recipes, that feature rice, beans, pasta, or potatoes as the largest ingredient. Not only do the carbs stretch out the meat, but also makes it actually filling. All you need otherwise is a sauce or gravy. That's my opinion as someone who grew up broke, and spent much of my youth that way too. For the record, I still cook like that because it tastes good and I still like being cheap.
I love rice and beans.
@@pete1853 Sure. I do too.
Honestly, I'd like to eat cheaply like that the majority of the time just to make sure I'm not wasting money.
Never be 'cheap'... Always be frugal... :)
Ive been using my crockpot more often, you can usually find a pound or two of corned beef(not the microwaveable stuff) or something similar for cheap. It usually feeds 4 people with some cheap sides from either the dollar tree and 99 cent store.
I love these videos I’m a single mom and I’m going to college and one of my kids has special needs so these have been helping me with ideas! Thank you!
I learned a new word today: "toastification." I've had baloney and cheese sandwiches and I've had cheese and egg sandwiches, but I've never had a baloney, egg and cheese sandwich. That's a damn fine looking sammich.
In the mood for a tuna sandwich but the cost of tuna is going high? Boil up a couple of eggs, chop them up and add to a small can of tuna. My family loves our tuna/egg
sandwiches. Put in a little mayo, and you've got a good sandwich for cheap.

When I was younger and would have to make myself or my siblings lunch, bologna sandwiches on the forman grill always hit the spot! Brings back memories!
My mom makes this all the time. She called it a breakfast sandwich and with some mayonnaise and ketchup its really good!
@@mistaplayinabox Absolutely
Beans and cornbread. Fed me every other day during childhood. An onion and a bag of pintos and a leftover piece of pork or if you didn't have that add in some bacon grease. One batch makes a TON.
That was a staple at our house through the fall and winter as well. Can't say looked forward to them considering how often we had them, but they were hot, filling, and got us through lean times.
that sounds like a delicious meal
We used fatback in ours.
The fact that so many of these comments talk about people suffering from food insecurity really upsets me.
I've never had to worry about this but my heart goes out to every one of you.
OMG... my favorite breakfast, this was my go to breakfast when I worked outside of the house... because I could cook eggs and bologna in one skillet and toast my bread in the toaster while pouring coffee in the thermos all done in 4 mins flat... so i could catch that extra 5 mins of sleep... and it tastes great every time.
Excuse me I eat these even when I'm not on a budget lol. It's one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches honestly.
Exactly!😁
You must lead a very interesting life.
I remember eating these ages ago and go back to them from time to time. I'm not on a budget but they are sooo damn good. I never did eggs on them though, just fried bologna and cheese. I would definitely now add some sriracha mayo to them.
EDIT: I ended up making these over the weekend with said ingredients. Bologna, eggs, american cheese, 'Italian' bread instead of white to try to get larger slices, and sriracha mayo. It was soooo good and it was super cheap. I just got oskar meyer bologna and did two slices per sandwiches (2 total for myself)
Fuck yeah I love these sandwhiches I grew up on em

Pro Tip: Toast your bread first to avoid having to clean a hot griddle in the middle of cooking. Place your cheese on the hot eggs with the already cooked bologna on top, then assemble the Sammie. The hot eggs will melt the cheese and warm up the bologna and bread. The cooking order should be:
Bread
Bologna
Eggs
Assemble
Yep. I make fried egg and cheese sandwiches all the time and always toast the bread first. Sometimes when I have extra money I buy a pack of bacon and a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread for my egg sandwiches.
I know you know what youre talking about since you call them Sammies. lmao
You're doing the Lord's work
Man, you describe even the simplest of foods in a way I actually want to cook it, on a budget or not. Such a great talent!
I grew up eating fried balogna but never thought to add eggs or cheese! My mom always cuts an x in the middle of the bologna and then a line on the rim between the lines of the x. I cook my bologna on medium-low heat to avoid the burning and never use butter or margarine.
It's a nice hot meal.
I'm going to have to try it with egg and cheese now!
We had similar ones made in oven when I was a child. One piece of bread, bologna, cheese. I use to love mine with slice of tomato. On Saturday evenings it was our snack. I live in Finland 🇫🇮
In times like our current economic troubles it’s very important for people to learn how to cook wholesome meals on a budget. Processed foods aren’t the best for you but if you know what you’re doing you can feed your family nutritious meals for much less than you’d originally think.
These sandwiches contain fats, carbs, and proteins, all of which are calorie rich and filling, in addition to being flavorful. I remember plenty of meals as a kid where my dad would fry some of these up for supper and we’d all have a nice time munching away.
I came from a family where "eating on budget" was part of our name. When people say they can't feed themselves these days I do wonder what they heck they ate eating. Great stuff wolfe! Keep it up
Sadly a lot of people grow up on ready meals. Just a trait of modern living I’m afraid. I count myself lucky that My Dear Old Mumsie was a keen cook, and my grandparents keen bakers. Whilst I wasn’t exactly taught to cook, I gleaned enough for a starting point.
That's not food, man. Fed yourself on a budget should be something that isn't shortening your life span. This shit is nasty.

Budget food is a good thing as you might unexpectedly run out of money one month or you might need to save for something in the future.

When I was a kid my parents did not have a lot of money. We did not consider ourselves poor, but looking back 60 years later I am sure we would be called poor today. While we always had a roof over our heads and enough food on the table we rarely ate out and my mom made casseroles, chili beans, SOS, bologna sandwiches, grilled cheese, oatmeal (mush ) and other homemade foods. I did not like the bologna cold, but when it was grilled it was just fine. We never tried this layered breakfast sandwich, but I am sure we 3 kids would have loved it. Now that I am grown and have more money than my parents ever had, I still enjoy cooking at home most of the time and will try some of your recipes. I am sure they are very helpful to struggling families with young boys at home. Boys are always eating and seem to eat twice as much as girls. Thanks so much for the videos. Your down-to-earth presentations are excellent.
Also, for those who don’t know, mayonnaise can be used as a substitute on the exterior side of the bread for toasting, instead of butter or margarine. My wife and daughter hate mayo on its own, but actually prefer it on toasted sandwiches, like this or grilled cheese because you can just spread it on and go and there’s no real taste difference, and you don’t tear up the bread like with butter that’s not at room temperature.
Thanks for suggestion. I will try it.
I prefer mayonnaise! On both sides of the bread :) inside the sandwich makes the cheese melty, outside makes the bread crisp up nicely.
Yes...have done that for years- especially with reubens!
No lie, that butter fried bologna sandwich covered to the brim with enough cheese to bleed Wisconsin out always makes me drool.
Bologna and cheese sandwich is underrated
I wouldnt say that
😃👍
When you work a real job and get them salt cravings you sweat that s*** out in an hour or 2
@Brock Main3 I call underrated because a lot of people where I’m from will eat it and then act like they don’t when asked. So basically if you eat bologna where I’m from people will just assume you’re poor.
It’s my #1 old standby. Never went wrong with bologna and cheese.
We grew up eating these sandwiches. They were so good. My grandma used to make them sometime for dinner with soup. 👍😊❤️✌️
Mr. WolfePit, I come by this channel every so often to peruse, and I especially love these cheap meal videos.

My wife and I got married very young, and had a baby shortly after. This sort of info would have been invaluable for us at that time of our life. Too bad UA-cam wouldn't come along for another few years then. 😜 But your channel was still 10 years out. I hope that those who really need it find your channel and your invaluable information. Even now that we have good jobs and a stable life, your recipes are a good source of inspiration. If disaster ever strikes us, I'm sure we'll at least be able to eat, with your channel to thank. Bless your Sir!
Absolutely beautiful and by far my favorite kind of quick and cheap breakfast. Your audience truly appreciates videos like this where we can learn to stretch a dollar here and there without sacrificing delicious flavor.

These videos are gold. This just made me so hungry. Great channel.
I've been penniless before, and I still never bought margarine. Honesty I'd rather go without than with fake.
I like your lovely assistant's tats.
Despite what you read online, margarine is not plastic nor was it invented to fatten turkeys, it was invented in france during a butter shortage around 150 years ago as an alternative to butter and used beef tallow. If you read the modern ingredients on the side of the box they no longer have beef tallow in them, they are basically all made from whipped vegetable oil, there is nothing fake about it.
He used Imperial brand margarine, in my opinion it tastes just like butter and is much cheaper and marginally better for you. It's the only thing I buy and use.
I agree. Butter usually has a couple ingredients, such as cream and salt. Margarine is made up of a myriad of ingredients including vegetable oils
@@jonas189 I'm aware of all of that, perhaps you shouldn't make assumptions what other people know or where they get information. It is imitation butter, which makes it fake and inferior in taste and texture. It's still worth the price to use real butter
@@Daniel-ou4fb It's actually not imitation butter, it's a substitute which isn't quite the same thing, like when a vegan substitutes tofu for chicken, the tofu isn't a chicken imitation. Eat what you want though or go without, that's your decision.
“Toastification” very nice. This word is definitely going in my vocabulary.
I'm surprised at how clean that griddle ended up after cooking. I expected it to be a pain to clean later. Seems like a cool kitchen accessory.
Love your channel. Reminds me of my childhood. If you like fried bologna, get yourself some Taylor Ham or Pork Roll. It's a staple in New Jersey and Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese on a Kaiser Roll will make you never want to eat another breakfast sandwich.
I love this man, I really hope these channel help so many people who are really down bad.
I love your word "toastification" and will happily vote to have it added to the Merriam-Webster and any other dictionaries! Thank you for all your wonderful videos about eating on a budget!
Wolfe could also say these meals are good for those who don't eat much or don't know what they want to eat.
I haven't had this in years! You just gave me a craving like no other!
Chicken fried rice: cook 2cups rice in pot; chop up 2-3 lbs chicken (.99c a pound) and saute in oil, season with garlic, onion, pepper, ginger. Add a bag of frozen mixed vegetables $1 them scramble a few eggs .60c into mix. Once that's done add more oil/ fat to the pan and toss in the rice and fry 5 minutes. Add soy sauce and enjoy.

Which one is butter and which one is bologna (technically, the way he pronounced it, it would be "baloney," but I digress) juice?
I do this same thing with SPAM. Cut it along the large side and it's almost perfect for bread. Yum! Thanks for these awesome videos.
When I needed to make a few dollars last more than a week, I bought 2 loaves of cheap bread, 2 packs of bologna & mustard. I'd have just enough left over for a few packs of koolaid & a couple big bags of chips.

Am I the only one who thinks a fried bologna and cheese is actually one of the best sandwiches a man can eat? They’re delicious man! Nice video!
your videos are informing, hilarious, sad, amazing , truthful.....etc. you're an excellent human being. don't know your daughter but tell I think you're a true humanitarian .
I was not expecting to see a full sleeve, based on your voice. Awesome!
That’s a women’s arm 😳👏🏻🥴😂🤣😭😭
Budget or no budget, that’s one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches. Or, Cotto salami if you have it on hand!
"It doesn't sound right.. BUT IT'S A FACT" had me dead lol
My wife is also a manager at dollar tree some stuff I will eat from there some stuff I absolutely have to pass on....but thank God for you Mr.Wolfe you show me what's worth buying from there and what's not!...my senior mother even watches your channel!...keep up the good work and I love!!! Fried Bologna and with eggs makes it even better...perfect breakfast sandwich!
Having had issues with sodium for many years, one small trick I used is that before I cut the slits in the bologna, I rinse it off to get rid of a lot of the salt. Of course, it also reduces some of the fat (or 'bologna juice' as Mr. Wolfe likes to call it), especially if you rinse it under warm/hot water.
Cutting slits is an ingenious idea why have I never done this
Because you are not from the south.
That's is why we called them Pac man bologna sandwiches growing up 🤣
I remember eating each piece separately when my grandma would make them.
1 year later this same sandwich is $37.99
Hell yeah! Grew up on those and still love them!
Looks delicious. We didn’t have a lot of money growing up. Fried baloney was a staple. Never had it as a grilled sandwich. Mom would fry up thick slices with warmed up (our lingo for refried) potatoes, and a vegetable. My favourite was slices of tomato from our garden. Thank you for sharing Sir. Respects from Canada
