our dollartree carries riced cauliflower, raw shrimp,beef patties, peppers and onions, all types of frozen veg, sugar-free flavored syrup for drinks (salted carmel/french vanilla) splenda creamers, a zero Tampico punch, tons of water options, i don't get the lunchmeat its higher in carbs(honey ham).
Thanks for covering Dollar Tree! I’m a disabled Sr on a fixed income. DT is my go-to store for everything; have been a loyal shopper for years. You can find a lot of Keto/clean products now. I buy the True Lemon all the time & keep it in my pantry.
I would like to see a weeks worth of low carb diabetic and heart friendly meals for a family of 2 all from there. I just talked to a dietician that said to keep iodized salt in the diet. She said its ok to use sea salt and pink Himalayan salt but to also use the iodized because your body needs it also.
Exactly everyone cannot afford to shop at Whole Foods. And that's what bugs me that yes they have these foods with low prices but they're not healthy for everyone. But you are right if you're on a budget you eat what is available according to your budget.
Same here. I live alone too and the smaller sizes are perfect for me. My fridge is also not very huge and the smaller bottles not only are enough for a single person, but also fit perfectly in my fridge.
At 29 seconds in when you were in the cold case , I saw my go to that you didn't mention. They have the Jimmy Deen cheddar omelets !!!! They are only 110 cals, 8 grms protein, and 2 carbs!!! I buy 10 at a time and put them in the freezer. I just add spinach or peppers and onions or mushrooms and I'm good to go ! Easy peasy and delicious! And as a senior who lives alone the small sizes are perfect and affordable. I only need a little bacon, or enough lunch meat for a small sandwich. The tiny bag of shrimp is perfect for tacos or a little pasta for one.
You forgot to go to the snack aisle. They have pork rinds, beef sticks, and big Mama's sausage. My husband and I eat those when we go to the dollar tree.
My uncle In Mexico recommended me to give my daughter Alkaline water instead since she had just been out of Cancer treatment and I notice she would have less stomach aches
Great video especially for today's economy. Not every one can shop at whole foods. BTW the alkaline water saved me when I suffered from acid reflex and when I had ulcers. Regular water would upset my stomach too much. Don't have those issues now, since I've changed to low carb/paleo lifestyle. But like you can't say no to a real coca cola once in a while
Thank you so much for this. When I was on a low carb diet I would watch your videos all the time but I was very poor and I use to shop at dollar tree for food every week. Seeing you meal prep with dollar tree items or even do a full meal from here would be amazing! (PS things have gotten better and now I shop at a real grocery store lol)
Interesting… I usually go to dollar tree once a year for Christmas wrapping/ribbon. I seriously love your channel so much. You offer realistic advice for the average person and your personality is 💣… keep doing what you’re doing! You’re very relatable 🫶🏼
I loved this video so much! There are so many of us that watch you on mega-tight budgets. It's been on my mind lately how I don't know how to afford to stay on a keto diet. Everything is so expensive these days at the grocery store. I was trying to shop keto tonight and realized when I got to a certain amount in my cart, it was becoming too expensive. I've never noticed the Dollar Store having those meats, but I'm going to check again! And you can't fail with Walmart, as far as pricing. So yes, you have no idea how much these kinds of videos will help so many of your viewers. I know it will help me so much. Please keep this up! Perhaps you could have something like "Budget Mondays" or something catchy like that and try to include a variety of things that people like myself can start learning keto on little money.
One way to stretch a budget and do keto is to avoid products that are "keto" substitutes like breads/buns etc, just omit those. Vegetables and eggs are great for keto and can be inexpensive. I think of keto as more of a "leave off" the plate/menu which means spending less money. Also, leave off drinks and consume water. That can save quite a bit.
I usually buy my 8 ounce cheese chunks at Aldi for just under $2.00, so these Dollar Tree would be $2.50/8 ounce. I realize this is still a good option if you don’t have a better price available in your area. These are especially good if you’re cooking for one. There wouldn’t be waste.
Yes girl 😍 I’ve already been getting a lot of healthier foods there for a while now. I do like cleaner ingredients, but in a pinch and on a budget it’s perfect! I would love to see you cook something up using DT goodies! ❤❤
Good dessert lol. Do you live 20 miles from a grocery store? I’m asking because some people complain they don’t have a grocery store every 1 mile. Sad most of the grocery stores that have closed are because people were stealing everything. Hope you found lots of stuff at your dollar tree.
What do you like when you need a sweet chocolate treat? I'm good with staying away from bad oils. I know I like eating low carb and low low sugar but sometimes my son wants drumsticks (ice cream) & I forget how bloated I feel after eating one. I have about 25 lbs to lose. So sweet treats that are low carb & sugar would be helpful! ❤❤❤
@@LowCarbLove Yes, it was great!! Just need budget meal ideas. Really appreciate easy, simple low carb lunch and dinner ideas. Thanks. Best channel ever. 🙌
I'm moving into my own place today. The deposit kicked my butt. I was here wondering how I'm going to eat for the month and here you're. Converting me from Walmart to dollar tree xo thank you xo
I just subscribed to you. Your video came up on my suggestions regarding the cauliflower fotato salad! I can’t wait to make it….then the pizza one jumped out at me. And now I am binging your channel! You are awesome and very relatable! Thank you for all the information. I can’t wait to watch more!
These are all great tips. Sadly the Dollar Trees around here don't sell the frozen stuff. And are definitely not as neat and clean as yours! lol But I seriously hope they get their act together because these are all great options.
Low carb/no carb smaller prepped breakfast/lunch meals that include proteins, veggies, and sugar-free no carb/low carb desserts/smoothies for one. Using DT items would be great. Thanks for sharing!
I love dollar tree but you made me see so many things I have overlooked!! FYI Coke Zero is my favorite but I have not been buying it lately in a effort to break the habit😅
With food prices the way the are I think new comers to keto might think it is too expensive. That can be an excuse, or lack of knowledge or factual if someone thinks they need separate food purchases from their family for example. It seems like a great time to explore popular stores and find low cost items (tuna, eggs, cabbage, salad etc). Also as a mother of 5, I think about my whole family as far as carbs and the ages of my family members, nutritional needs, activity etc because the average American consumes over 100 carbs per meal so it is not too early to sub out items in meals for veggies or to pick lower carb items or even to show children how to not have soda, friends and a burger with a bun all in one sitting. If you meal plan for a family just swap out the non keto item (cabbage for pasta, low carb tortilla for bread/buns or omit all together and make a burger/taco/steak or chicken salad).
Lack of iodine causes an enlarged goiter. That’s why it’s added to table salt. Because most people do not get enough iodine in their diet. I love the trend lately to use different salts like sea salt or Himalayan salt but do not eliminate iodized salt completely from your diet. Goiters are mostly unheard of today because of iodized salt. I fear we may see it make a comeback if people stop using iodized salt completely.
In Canada, our Dollar Store or Dollar Tree don't carry full groceries like the US. Wish we had that variety of groceries here too, it's mostly spices and dry boxed or can items. Good video!
I would love to see a low carb meal prepared from Dollar Tree. I have never bought anything from the freezer section in Dollar Tree. I don´t know why...I never think about it.
Good Friday morning Mayra. What a haul. Thanks for sharing your recommendations for the Top 10 healthy foods at Dollar Tree. I do believe my favorite item is that chicken salad. 😊👍
We don't have Dollar Tree in Australia and I always thought they only carry knick knacks and plant pots etc. Love to see you make a meal and taste some of their goods for comparison. Please keep up with the tours, love them. ❤
Thank you for showing affordable options.These are great options, even if some aren’t completely clean, it’s a start, and it’s better than no options too. I love dollar tree! Just wish I could go there without my kids because the lines are long and it’s eerily quiet in there haha
I’d love to see a meal prepared under $10.
What a great idea!! I’ll add that to the list! ❤
I found Kinder’s bbq sauce at DT a couple weeks ago. Excited to try it
2:45 ❤
that's not hard to do for a single or a couple..i do it all the time. i love my dollartree
our dollartree carries riced cauliflower, raw shrimp,beef patties, peppers and onions, all types of frozen veg, sugar-free flavored syrup for drinks (salted carmel/french vanilla) splenda creamers, a zero Tampico punch, tons of water options, i don't get the lunchmeat its higher in carbs(honey ham).
I love how you talk about clean and not so clean Keto options with no judgment.
Yes! Dollar tree meal prep. You can be creative on a budget ♡
Thanks for covering Dollar Tree! I’m a disabled Sr on a fixed income. DT is my go-to store for everything; have been a loyal shopper for years. You can find a lot of Keto/clean products now. I buy the True Lemon all the time & keep it in my pantry.
99 Cent Only Store has a lot of healthy options and fresh fruit and vegetables also so be sure to include them in your low budget healthy videos
@@paulathompson7345 we don’t have that store locally🥲
I would like to see a weeks worth of low carb diabetic and heart friendly meals for a family of 2 all from there. I just talked to a dietician that said to keep iodized salt in the diet. She said its ok to use sea salt and pink Himalayan salt but to also use the iodized because your body needs it also.
I'd love to see some authentic versions of keto Mexican cauliflower rice or authentic keto Asian rice
Exactly everyone cannot afford to shop at Whole Foods. And that's what bugs me that yes they have these foods with low prices but they're not healthy for everyone. But you are right if you're on a budget you eat what is available according to your budget.
I actually love the smaller portions. I live alone and the fuller sized items are often too much for me and often go to waste. These are great for me!

Thank you for posting. I’m definitely going to look for this the next time I’m at DT!😊
I think a regular grocery store has canned veggie goods that are LESS than the 1.25 here.
Definitely want to see low carb dollar tree meal prep😊
Just make sure you check the expiration dates on any food you buy there or Family Dollar
You forgot to go to the snack aisle. They have pork rinds, beef sticks, and big Mama's sausage. My husband and I eat those when we go to the dollar tree.
Some dollar trees also carry coconut flour.

Interesting! Does the alkaline help to neutralize the stomach acid?
Ii didn't know that about the water. I have acid reflux, well really eosinophilic esophagitis, & that's great to know.
Dollar tree meal challenge? Yes please! Surf and turf with the salmon and steak -- YUM

The alkaline Waters is pretty good you can tell the difference after drinking a different water
Good to know!
I love that you did a walk through on the Dollar Tree. A go-to store for me for certain items.

Do you have an Aldis by you? That's a more inexpensive place to shop besides Walmart
Walmart is actually higher than other grocery stores, they never have sales...other stores do
Meat and veggies...what we all should be eating
Id love to see an entire day on $15 from DT.
This was great!! I would love to see you do a few different low carb Dollar Tree menus! Thank you, Mayra!
I usually buy my 8 ounce cheese chunks at Aldi for just under $2.00, so these Dollar Tree would be $2.50/8 ounce. I realize this is still a good option if you don’t have a better price available in your area. These are especially good if you’re cooking for one. There wouldn’t be waste.
Yes please. A 10 dollar meal from the Dollar Tree would be amazing!! 🤗🤗🤗
Coke Zero is my guilty pleasure too. The flavor is phenomenal! ☺️
Yes girl 😍 I’ve already been getting a lot of healthier foods there for a while now. I do like cleaner ingredients, but in a pinch and on a budget it’s perfect! I would love to see you cook something up using DT goodies! ❤❤
I'd like to see a video on a low carb chicken and broccoli Alfredo
I usually spend $100-180 a wk on groceries. Now, I want to challenge myself to do a Dollar Store haul ... 🥰
I could save $$$$$$$
Try it!!
You should try a weeks worth of low carb meal from the dollar tree. Like maybe do lunch meal for that period. Would love to see that.
Great idea!!
At 0:56 Thank you so much for acknowledging the fact that those are processed meats. They may be keto but not all keto is made equally. 😂
Yes!
yes!! i was hoping she would!
Also FYI... I found Goli gummies at my local DT the other day ❤
It’s good to know families who live in food deserts can plan healthy meals on a budget.
Good dessert lol. Do you live 20 miles from a grocery store? I’m asking because some people complain they don’t have a grocery store every 1 mile. Sad most of the grocery stores that have closed are because people were stealing everything. Hope you found lots of stuff at your dollar tree.

@@mecrat i buy the keto ice creams! I will check for the others❤
there are carb smart bars that are chocolate coated vanilla ice cream either with or without nuts
@@paulathompson7345 thank you!!
Would love to see meal prep under 10.00 from Walmart. Thank you.
I recently did a video doing a grocery haul from Walmart. Hope you check it out! 😊
@@LowCarbLove Yes, it was great!! Just need budget meal ideas. Really appreciate easy, simple low carb lunch and dinner ideas. Thanks. Best channel ever. 🙌
You should do a 99cent store meal prep or meal guide for low carb ! 🙂❤️
I’d like to see a meal prepared for two from the Dollar Tree.
This is going to be a stretch, but... what about a *$5 meal* challenge? 😃
😂
True lemon pouches a winner!
I'm moving into my own place today. The deposit kicked my butt. I was here wondering how I'm going to eat for the month and here you're. Converting me from Walmart to dollar tree xo thank you xo

Awe that’s so awesome…yay! 🥰 Welcome to the fam!❤️
the not potato salad and the pizza of hers are better than the "real" ones
Yes I would love to see you create some healthy meals from this , it's my fav. store to help cut my grocery bill down.
Yes please! Steak fajitas!

Read the new studies on erythritol . I don’t do natural flavors. This is good if you’re very strapped to buy groceries ❤.
Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos y tus ideas! Este video es de mucha ayuda para las que tenemos poco presupuesto 🙏🏼👍🏼
Gracias Mayra ❤
Yes I want to see the whole meal low carb from Dollar 🌲 tree! Thank you
Love what you have done in teaching how to eat healthy and anything that has to do with chocolate. You are the best on that. Thank you
Zetia soda is delicious no sugar no colors many flavors
I try to avoid sugar and sulfate nitrates on dely meats. I think I don't buy them. But other things like condiments are good like pink salt.
I have never seen half these things at our local Dollar Tree in NJ. You hit the payload.
This is a very good dollar tree and yes I do want to see you go shopping there.

Yes! Low cost meals please. Something with the peppers would be great.
That would be great cooking with stuff from dollar trees
I shop DT a lot so many great finds. Yes would love to see a video on low carb healthy but meals.
Love Dollar Tree! Yes, I would love to see a $10 meal.
Awesome! Love how down to earth this video was. I’d love some cauli rice recipes. MX Rice, Arroz con pollo, yellow rice, etc
Yes, that would be great
Yes Plz! Especially IF you can make a gluten, cheese, dairy, egg Free Meal
Yes do it a meal with a meat and the mix peppers.
Yes, do it! Shop and cook from the $1.25 store.
one thing to keep in mind that you can get canned veggies cheaper at a grocery store, especially on sale. I just check both if they are on my way
Good to know! Thanks for sharing 😊
yes
Yes, please do a video using dollar tree products
I’d love to see what you come up with, as far as a Dollar Tree meal for $10.
In Canada, our Dollar Store or Dollar Tree don't carry full groceries like the US. Wish we had that variety of groceries here too, it's mostly spices and dry boxed or can items. Good video!
It would be fun to see what you can make going in there with $10.00 and make a full meal for 2 people. Your store is much better than the one near me.
Definitely going to have to check out my dollar tree. I have bought the asparagus in the jars. Great if you need something fast.
I would love to see a low carb meal prepared from Dollar Tree. I have never bought anything from the freezer section in Dollar Tree. I don´t know why...I never think about it.
Me gusta mucho,que son comidas simples,no complicates ,gracias.
Ok going to Dollar Tree soon. Would love to see a good meal for $10
I found pink Himalaya pink popcorn at stop n 🛑 Shop it's so yummy serving a cups it's so delicious a pink face
Yes please!
Good Friday morning Mayra. What a haul. Thanks for sharing your recommendations for the Top 10 healthy foods at Dollar Tree. I do believe my favorite item is that chicken salad. 😊👍
I once found basil pesto there, and it was delicious, and came in the same sized jar that it comes in at grocery stores.
Yes, putting a meal together with $1 tree items. 😊
What a great idea going to the Dollar Tree ! Thanks
Yes! I'd love to see you put together a day of meals from dollar tree
Great finds! Thanks for sharing with us. Have a blessed weekend 💜 🙏 ✌️ 🌞💐🎶
We don't have Dollar Tree in Australia and I always thought they only carry knick knacks and plant pots etc. Love to see you make a meal and taste some of their goods for comparison. Please keep up with the tours, love them. ❤
New watcher here. I giggled when I heard you talk about your Coke Zero. I eat soooo clean but I have a Diet Coke almost everyday.
For sure want to see a low carb meal from DT!!
I'd love to see some low carb meal prep on a budget from other stores also like aldi
What a great video. I will visit my local DS to see what they have. Thank you, Myra!
Yes! Do it girl. Meal for under $10🙌
I get my frozen veg and fruit there all the time
Aw, the Dollar Tree in Canada doesn’t have a frozen food or deli section. Hopefully it will come to Canada soon. 🤞🏻
That's no fun. I hope it changes soon!
Yes a breakfast
Thanks, and I'd like to see a meal done from the dollar tree.😊
Yes! Meal prep with frozen veggies:-)
Thank you for showing affordable options.These are great options, even if some aren’t completely clean, it’s a start, and it’s better than no options too. I love dollar tree! Just wish I could go there without my kids because the lines are long and it’s eerily quiet in there haha
Some people live alone and live aways from the bigger stores and these sizes are good for a couple as well
You may want to do some research about Erythritol, it has been linked to heart issues, so really bad for you as well.
Yes plz
Yesss piggy backing on other comments..I would love to see you prep a meal or a few meals at a budget.
