I honestly just like hearing your voice. It's so soothing.
Thanks Wendy :)
Agreed. So comforting
Me too!
I think so too! Thanks for the video!
Agreed! She has such positive energy and a very laid back personality. I thoroughly enjoy her videos!
There was a time in my life where I had $50 a month to feed my daughter and I. We ate well and I shopped wisely. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
That is a testament to you of being a great mother under difficult circumstances. Thanks!
The Quaint Housewife Thank you. These videos are so helpful to so many. Thanks again.
A good recipe that last my family for 3 days. You can take some of that onion, the peanut butter, two chicken breast. Cut it up. Fry the chicken in a little of your oil. Add the onions. A little water the peanut butter and make a sauce. Put your carrots with it and pour on top of your rice! It’s delicious! My husband is from Senegal and they know how to make some dishes that last or can feed ten to more people on a very low budget!
Victoria, that does sound good!
Yummm!! Going to try this!
I saved the recipe! Sounds yummy.
In holland we eat peanut butter al the time🥰
In my country peanut butter is too expensive.
Sounds great!
You could have added some eggs maybe since you came under budget. Then made a chicken fried rice dish. Plus had a couple of scrambled eggs added to breakfast.
Llama is
Yup. If I were her I would've either gotten an 18 pack of eggs, or a 12 pack and 3 bananas. I don't eat eggs, but my husband does.
That’s what’s I was thinking too.. for lunch - a fried rice mixture with veggies and eggs optional chicken.
Take slices of bread, butter/margarine, shred cheese top it, stick in oven till toasted. Sprinkle parmesan
This is what we call cheese on toast in the UK, and is typically more popular than a grilled cheese sandwich. We toast one side, toast the other (very slightly, not to brown it however, but prevents it going soggy when the cheese melts) then sprinkle cheese and add a few drops of Worcestershire sauce. I usually add butter once toasted, to the corners and a thin layer on top. It’s great.
I would have gotten a bag of flour and some yeast instead of the bread. I also would have gotten a dozen eggs. You can make lots of things with the flour - regular bread, flat bread, pancakes, pasta, etc.
Great idea!
but u need pans and i dont have pans
@@wasabizzz168 2020, pandemic no yeast.
Diy bread sounds good but the work+electricity for baking makes it more expensive than just buying it 2 times a week.
@@SoWhosGae not if you are able to find a bread machine at a thrift store. I have found the one I use regularly (plus a backup), each for $3.
Some of the guys make "bread sticks" out of a cheap pack of hotdog buns (potato bread) butter, garlic, face down on sprayed cookie sheet. Toast. Cheese can be added by flipping face up. Buns are opened, used as tops and bottoms, separate bread sticks.
Yessss! I’ve been using super cheap hotdog buns for garlic bread for over 30 years. If you mash it a little flat you can use them for faux French bread pizzas.
In my area, Walmart is always cheaper. I rarely shop at Target because they are ridiculously overpriced. You are so lucky to have a reasonably priced Target in your area. Great video - as always !
Fangirl, I've heard that about Target too. I was surprised on some items. XOXO
The good & gather brand is new at target so most of these prices/items are new within the last year or two!
I buy Good and Gather brand at Target and the prices are very reasonable.
Since I rarely go to Target I always end up buying stuff I don't normally buy making my shopping trip way more expensive than it should be. But there are reasonably priced groceries as long as you do not fall victim to impulse shopping. Last time I was at Target this lady was losing her mind and was blocking the aisle with her basket at one end and her husbands basket on the other end--not allowing people down the aisles. She took the 6-feet-apart thing to a whole other level.
Last name first, First name last Wow ! She meant business, didn’t she ??!!!!
According to google, you pronounce it correctly. And it means butterfly.
Yes- I live in an area populated by Italians-Q.H.is correct!
Thanks, Maria. That meaning makes sense with the shape.
That’s right! You did!
You look so pretty first of all...Secondly, You come up with some great recipes...Which I am going to start cooking...And lastly, I agree with many of the other viewers comments that you have a very soothing&calming voice...Continued good health and blessings for you and your family. :-)
Thanks for these sentiments, Lisa! You too!
For someone living alone, I tend to either order food which puts a hole in my pocket or cook cheap food inside which is either tasteless or lacking nutrients if not both. Now, I always watch your videos before grocery shopping to balance health and my budget. Thank you.
Glad my videos help you, thanks!
Cooking for one can be hard. If possible, make regular recipes and freeze them in portions... that way you can cook less often, and have variety. Cook Just 2 to 3 times per week and rotate out the frozen left overs.
Your videos are truly an internet blessing! Thank you for all this inspiration.
I absolutely love your 10$ a week videos!
Thanks Stephanie!
It is amazing the gourmet dishes you came up with! In addition, you would be building a well stocked pantry over time. Such as with the vinegar, brown sugar, things like that.
I like to see hauls that include some staples. Most videos out there will include using staples, but "assume" you already have it and don't include it in the budgeting. Eventually those staples need replaced and have to be included in the budget, so a replacement staple should be included in some way in the budget... flour one week, oil the next, spices and sugars the next week after that, etc. It adds up and counts.
You did really good! I think these types of videos are interesting and important- a lot of people are struggling money wise.
I've missed your videos. You look radiant! These budget shopping vids are immensely helpful as I have a husband and two boys, one a teenager. ❤
Oh thank you!
Sometimes I would make oatmeal with chopped apples cinnamon and brown sugar.. yummy
Oh that tastes wonderful!
is Apple Crumble........sweetened pastry sheets in the oven & other saucepan produced mixtures can be a thing. Bless & hope for all.
I only eat oatmeal with dried fruit but I should try it with fresh fruit
I make homemade oatmeal with brown sugar bananas. The bananas, a tablespoon or two of brown sugar, a pat of butter. Slice banana, place in microwave safe bowl, sprinkle brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon on top, add a pat of butter or margarine. Microwave till the brown sugar caramelizes and the butter fully melts. Prepare oatmeal as directed, I used instant oatmeal, then add a splash of fresh or condensed milk, and pour the banana mixture over the oatmeal. You could also add a few raisins or dried cranberries, and if you have it, some chopped walnuts or pecans, or peanuts. VERY GOOD!🤤🙂
You said no dessert, but you can make some with what you already have. Toast bread and butter, sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar on it, add some chopped apples or other fruit. Voila! Dessert toast!🙂❤
Thank you for all the meal ideas!! So glad you are back to making videos!!
Wow, that curry and rice salad looked delightful! I'll have to give them a try. 😋😋
Thanks Mary!
I missed these videos!!!
Me too!
Me three!
Me four
We are a family of 8 and I shop like this! New to your channel 💛❤️🏡
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
The best way to make meals taste better on a cheap budget is definitely spices. If you are struggling to make meals taste good on a cheap budget, try to save some extra money (if possible) and splurge on lots of spices and seasonings. Seasoning salt is my personal favorite
I agree on the spices! Glad I have a cabinet full because most of the food I buy is unprocessed/plain.
Glad that I figured out that you were spending $40 because I thought you were only spending $10, you got some good ideas and not went overboard
Welcome back, you were missed. 😊
Thank you! 😊
Quaint Housewife You are so welcome and thank YOU🤩! In reading some of the comments, yes! We all missed you, and I agree that you came back looking so beautiful and radiant🌹God's good Blessings to you and your family and friends 🙏 Thanks for so many good ideas💭🧠
Blessings to you and yours as well!
Thanks for the video. I’ve changed the way I shop because of your videos and have saved some $$$ too. Thanks for inspiring us make ...delicious food on a dime.
Wasn't sure how you were going to pull off TARGET ....
But you did !
Very impressed
Thanks! It could have easily gone off the rails since many items are pricey!
I like how you did your eyeliner! Very flattering and modern with the straightened hair style!
Thank you, Chrystal!
The last soup looked amazing.
Just wondering does your family get tired of eating The same meal 5 dinners in 1 week. My family would throw a fit.
Hi Cherish. This was one of only two budget challenges I've had them do so far, so it is rare for me to repeat their meals many times. They knew it was for a UA-cam video. They were okay with it but not excessively enthused after a number of days.
EXCELLENT VARIETY BASED ON A BUDGET!!
Thank you!
Eggs definitely. Perhaps forgo the bread/pasta and opt for flour (bread/dumplings/pancakes/bisquits/pasta etc) much more variety. Tomato paste can also be into ketchup/sauce/gravy. Thank you for your ideas which in turn gives us a few😀
I’m on a budget and you give me so much inspiration for my meals although I live in Switzerland and food, (even the very very cheapest options) is so so sooo much more expensive then anywhere else
Olivia, yes Switzerland is $$$. I'm jealous of you living there. Must be very nice!
Would love to see you try this at Trader Joe’s if you have one near you! Great video!
Loved that baby carrot grating tip! I would have bought eggs. You could have made French toast for breakfast. Also, if you had more bananas, you can make grain free pancakes with just mashed banana & eggs. A garlic bulb or two are usually under a dollar and would have paired with the tomatoes & pasta.
Great tips, Tibi. Thank you.
If you have a dollar tree around you they have bags of kidney beans and great northern beans.
Been wondering how you've been doing............. I make vegetarian chili - kidney beans, garbanzo beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, dump and go. I would have gotten some eggs.
Michelle, sounds very nutritious!
I love beans. Your black beans looked so scrumptious. I usually do a plain old Jasmine rice but I am going to doll it up with some curry next time. Ps, I love onion too. The way you present your food and the attention to detail when describing your plates, your TLC really shines through. Like other people have said, soothing and motivational. Glad to hear y'all are doing well.
Thanks for this feedback, Kim!
I love these so much! Keep them coming! 🤗
I'm Italian, you pronounce it correctly 👌
Thank you for telling me. You would be the expert!
Since you asked what we would have done differently, I would have tried for pork roast for carnitas. In my area, pork is the same price as your chicken. Street taco tortillas are small but very cheap and if you get the white corn type they are very cheap. The leftover broth from the carnitas can be used to season rice.
Marilyn, great ideas! I didn't notice how much any of their pork costs. I will probably check next time!
@@TheQuaintHousewife , we also like fried potatoes with leftover rice and beans with eggs scrambled in at the end for burritos, we just call it "fry" basically anything can go in. A good way to use up a little leftover meat when there is not enough left to make another meal.
So glad to see you again! I have been missing your videos.🙂
I know this is way off topic, but you look stunning. Absolutely radiant. On topic.. all of these are great ideas and I love that you ended under budget.
Oh, that is sweet of you. Thanks!
These dishes look amazing and very filling and nutritious. You did great within the budget limit. Question, does your family ever say they won't eat what you make or have any sensitivities beyond what you've spoken of before? If I make pancakes, for example, my husband and children won't eat them without syrup... No black beans, rice only once a week, no curry😒🤔So I am only making for myself if I want to do something new or different! It's a challenge, for certain!
Would enjoy a revisit with reshopped to show change in price. Recipes look delicious!
The store is mostly empty of people. Do you go grocery shopping super early like me? Red onion is great for so many dishes, you really pick out very versatile foods. Keep the videos coming, they have given me some great ideas for dinner!
Hi Allison, the store was not too crowded and I do try to go early. However, I do my best to keep others off-camera too! I am glad you like my content!
@@TheQuaintHousewife Thank you for being considerate of others. I think many people appreciate that.
Great creativity with the budget! Prices here in Indiana are about the same for those items. I have never grocery shopped at Target. Thanks for sharing!
I think you should have bought eggs and a frozen bag of peas and corn and soya sauce to make fried rice.You can then use the onion, chicken,and 2 tins of cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup to make a chicken casserole.Serve this with peas and corn and rice on the side.Breakfast can be oatmeal, with milk and fake maple syrup to top it.Apple sauce can also be a great topping, or pancakes are cheap and easy to make.I live in Australia so I am working on our food costs
Great ideas, Foxy.
Wow! I never would have thought you could get all that at Target. They can be pricey! I really love how you shop looking for deals and creating menus for the week as you go. I also love how beautiful your meals look. Thanks for another great video!! 🥰
Confetti rice salad looks great
Thanks Lela!
I’ve been waiting to watch this all week but haven’t had the time until now! For a target grocery shopping trip you picked out some great items and the meals look amazing. Hopefully you have a dishwasher haha!
Thanks so much! I have a dishwasher but I don't know how to use it. I grew up without one and still wash everything by hand. Have a great holiday if you are celebrating today!
The Quaint Housewife my wife and I grew up hand washing too but got spoiled when we moved into a home with a dishwasher. The one items we hand wash are hand wash only items. With a toddler it also comes in handy too!
Believe me, small cultural stores sells products way higher than major stores. At least in Houston
Thank you for that note!
According to Google, your pronunciation of farfalle is correct.
Great recipes! I like the idea of carrots and raisins over toast. It's like a carrot-raisin salad, but in a sandwich form, almost!
Fry some basic Indian fry bread (flour, etc recipes is on UA-cam).//Basically, eat as is, dip in honey, cinnamon, brown sugar. Or, eat fixed like a open burrito: black beans, rice & cheese, lettuce, veggies, fruits..guacamole or Greek yogurt. Strawberry yogurt or peach are tastey toppers!
Or, for a dessert, you could have the old go to, piece of bread, could be toasted, with peanut butter, banana slices and a drizzle of maple syrup. 🙂❤
Can't go wrong with PB, banana, and maple syrup!
You have some good recipies there.
Good job. You do a good job.lol. thanks for sharing.☮🥰🦋🌻
Thank you so much 😊
My husband and I have been cutting our expenses because we’re about to buy our first house. You’re videos have been helpful in creating meals on a lower budget. Thank you!
How exciting! And happy to hear the videos are helpful!
Save-A-Lot chain store here been running overage special for cpl weeks 4pks @ $1°° most Sundays closes out ground beef +pork @ .99¢# ! Still. Hard to catch the exact time. My animals love it. (Must cook pork 1st) Being single I get bored easy must have variety. Hard as I avoid bread & grains, most sweets. ❤️ Ur posts
You’re right about the Farfalle, it is definitely NOT pronounced ”far fall”. 😂😂
Really awesome haul! I wish I could work up the nerve to film in store... I never seem to get good footage. Love that you do budget hauls. I really enjoy your vids!
Thank you so much!
Glad you’re back! Great video!
Hey, thanks!
Your carrot/peanut butter toast looks amazing! So creative! As a plant-based eater, I would trade the chicken for more fresh fruit, but besides that would look for pretty much the same things. Thanks for another great video! 🙂
Hi Rachel, I am glad you like my PB toast :) I find meat does not always settle well with my digestion. I would have liked more fruit myself!
@@TheQuaintHousewife maybe make a curry out of plantains instead of chicken.
I'm missing some of these hauls. If you are ever willing to do these $10 a week segments again I bet they would be appreciated by more than just me. Especially now when we still deal with food shortages, and inflation.
I Would have traded one of the bread for flour & yeast and made bread, and other items with the flour. And traded one green bean for broccoli or mixed vegetables. With the extra money I would have gotten potatoes
Ways to use the items differently:
Oatmeal- oat pancakes, make oat milk
Beans- refried beans, bean burgers
Rice- rice pudding
Bananas- "nice" cream (blended frozen bananas into icecream)
Carrot- smooth carrot soup with bread made into croutons
Pasta- blended the one of the tomatoes into a sauce, put over half of the pasta, make bread crumbs, and bake. Then make a peanut sauce, vegetables, and pasta for different dish another night.
These are great ideas! I always feel like these are very “plain” meals she does, which is fine but I need more variety/ideas.
One thing I LOVE about target is that they have the new Circle program where you get 1% cash back to your target account. Plus, with the app, there are coupons and deals to apply, and it really adds up!
I haven't been in a Target store for about 3 years I didn't realize they have so much food my household and clothing come from thrift stores and garage sales. I do check all my grocery store ads when they come out on Wednesday but Kroger is my main store mostly because I try to buy only markdown meat and other markdown food and I have to say I'm not a rice and bean person
Hi, QH, Besides your husband, your brother, and yourself, who is the 4th adult, and does she/he still live with you now (March '22)?
Love your channel and your blouse is beautiful🌺🌺
I just found out today that your new video was posted. You look amazing; you have great skin and hair! I love all of your meal ideas. My creativity comes from minimal ingredients and on a budget. Lately I've been using more than half of my check on microwavable foods because I need convience meals at this point in our lives. 😳 But I'm hoping school starts back up because going digital is taking its toll.
Sometimes that convenience is important. I have heard multiple people comment on how they want in-person school to come back ASAP. That you for the compliments! I don't know if you have clicked the bell icon on my channel to be alerted right away when I post. Some people don't like the bell feature, but I just mentioned it in case you didn't know about it. XOXO
@@TheQuaintHousewife I guess I wasn't subscribed; I am now. 😊
Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed you were. Thanks for hopping on the wagon :)
@Last name first, First name last I have made you one of my chat moderators, in case you ever pop into one of my live chats. This enables you to delete inappropriate chat content at will. Thank you for being here!
Your smile looks great Quaint House Wife. Very creative solutions! Thanks for sharing your insights and hard work to keep a balance in the home in such a positive and honest way.
Another great job on your budget food video. Thanks for doing these, I enjoy them. With Love From BanDana Gramma ❤
Thank you, BanDana!
It’s great to hear from you again. Wonderful video
I would have cheated and gone back for eggs with the extra dollar and change. They would add variety to the lunch menu.
Take Care.
Yes, eggs would have been perfect! XOXO
I love peanut butter toast and can’t eat it almost everyday. Peanut butter sandwich are also a big win. For dinner I like to give my family a little more variety and would of tried to and a Mexican themed dinner one night. You had all the ingredients. Great job. I was shocked when you didn’t get eggs.
I love the high nutrition content. I'd trade meat for plant food and prefer to make bread..but wow..you're great at this. The meals look wonderful as do you.
Wow! You got a lot!! Since I'm a vegan, I would've gotten more beans or some tofu :D
Great choices, Beesweet!
Way too high carb diet.
Always buy eggs. Cheapest complete protein.
The diced tomatoes were a great price! My Aldi has the 14oz cans for $.45-49.
Fastest I have ever clicked on a video! Glad to see you guys well!
Pronunciation Farfalle - far-FALL-lay
You are right!
I always look for bargains! Now a days you have to. 😊❤️
I enjoyed this so much! Wonderful job; looks delicious. It’s so good to hear your calming voice and see you. You look so beautiful! Blessings to you and your family. ❤️🙏🏼
Thank you so much 🤗
I’ve missed seeing you,
Thanks Nicole. I've appreciated seeing your comments on my videos even as I was inactive!
I have combined peanut butter with lot of things, carrots were a new idea too me. I tired it and love it thank you.
Becca, glad you liked it :)
Wow.. I never go to Target .. Thought prices would be to high on everything... You got some good deals that were even better than Walmart or Aldi.. Thanks for sharing.. Love your videos! You always give me some good ideas..
Zsuzsi--I don't go there that much either because I had the same impression about the food. XOXO
I would say you paid a good price for your canned tomatoes.
You always have great ideas for these challenges and I like that you did include the whole family this time. I would have gotten less chicken and and maybe some eggs. I am always impressed with how far you make the budget stretch!
I love your videos
Welcome back! I thought it was you and your husband, I didn't know you had a family of four.
Thank you, Leandrea! It was two before, now four.
You can do an asmr channel
This is similar to my basic weekly shop. Thanks for this!
I've missed your videos so much! Well done!
Yay, thank you!
You're back! I was surprised. Hi. I love pasta and rice. You made some good meals. Don't stay away so long. Take Care.
Your budget hauls really inspire me.
You are the dream wife of every man
God Bless You and Yours.
Thank you and God bless.
Really liked your video! Appreciate your recipes.
Curried rice and beans looks fantastic.
You did a great job with your tiny budget! I can't eat beans, so I probably would see if I could cheaper find a cheaper cut of chicken like thighs or drumsticks, and maybe some eggs if they were cheap enough, in order to make up the difference in calories and protein from not having the beans, and then I would make broth from the chicken bones and use that for adding flavor to other dishes. It is really hard on me physically to not have any dairy, but I really don't know how it would be affordable on this budget. Thanks for the video!
Angie Smith have you tried lentils? They are a pulse more in the family of peas. A delicious sub for meat.
@@chomama1628 if she's allergic like my husband, she can't eat anything in the legume family. Lentils and peas included. ☹️
I love your videos so so so much this was the best part of my day after working never change you are great and so creative with so little you really inspire me 😁
It's DEFINITELY NOT fArfal. You are right. Your friend is wrong.
Haha, thanks!
What do you think would be the best motar and pestle I hear it is best for garlic it releases some kind of healthful emzemes ??? Help please.
