    On Alfredo… try one can of the sauce and half can of the pasta water.

    If you don't have powdered sugar just add granulated to your blender and whirl.. you can make your own

    Thanks for another great video. Add some bacon grease to your canned green beans when you're cooking them on the stove top, its a game changer.

    I love these challenges, but realistically most people have salt, pepper, milk, butter, oil, herbs and spices. Thanks for the inspiration ❤

    What was your favorites this week? And what would you do differently if you did a similar challenge in the future?
    I really enjoy watching these types of videos so thank you for making them!

    My dollar tree has egg’s. Mine goes between 6 to 12 count.

    To get a true total you should add the cost of the salsa, cheese and sour cream into your end total. I understand not buying what you already have (no need in wasting money) but for the intended purpose of the video I would add the cost. I do have one ❓ though, were the meals feeling enough? I often wonder when I see these extreme low budget meal weeks, if the people are actually getting enough food. Great video keep up the good work💜

    Hi Danielle (sp?), I was surprised that you didn't make homemade refried beans with the dry beans to go with both the burrito bowls & the lunch burritos. Also I saw you had garlic powder so another option could've been garlic toast to go with the Alfredo Pasta. I definitely liked the cheesy pizza tortillas though. Gonna give those a try. I saw a definite theme in this - Mexican inspired. As long as its not too spicy I like it. 🙂
    Oh almost forgot, my DT does have eggs, but doesn't have the $3 & $5 food items yet cos they are waiting on the coolers/freezers to arrive. So it might be it depends on your DT on what they get. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    • @CookiesandBacon22
      @CookiesandBacon22  9 місяців тому

      Yes, you spelled that correctly. I just totally forgot about the beans 😬
      I don't normally add refried beans to our burrito bowls, but know a lot of people who do. I definitely prefer just the beans itself. Mexican dishes is our life!!

    Most Dollar trees have canned chicken it’s by the tuna

    Those “black beans” is black soybeans just so you are aware, if you bought them from dollar tree

    I’m sad your dollar tree didn’t have canned chicken or shelf stable packs of pepperonis. Ours usually does and the pizza crusts too. When I have friends over I try to make supreme pizzas to snack on and chili cheese chimichangas.

    • @CookiesandBacon22
      @CookiesandBacon22  9 місяців тому

      No pepperoni… I was looking everywhere for it! So stinking sad too!

    On the chicken, our Dollar Tree carries it in cans. A little smaller than Tuna

    I would just point out the items you do have at home and budget in how much extra cost that would be based on what the store has

    They do have chicken at DT, it's just canned.

    • @CookiesandBacon22

      They did! I remember having them as a kid, haven’t made them in a loooonnggg time!

    Doesn't dollar tree have canned chicken for your alfredo? Great dollar tree menu plan.

    • @CookiesandBacon22
      @CookiesandBacon22  9 місяців тому

      Canned Chicken isn't my favorite, but that would work!

  • @debbiesmith5763
    @debbiesmith5763 9 місяців тому

    My dollar store does have eggs. They also have steak and hamburgers. I’d chop up that burger and add to the Alfredo.

    • @naelyneurkopfen9741
      @naelyneurkopfen9741 9 місяців тому

      Canned chicken or chicken nuggets would be better than burger in the Alfredo,imo.

    • @CookiesandBacon22
      @CookiesandBacon22  9 місяців тому

      Can't believe yall have eggs at your DT! I'm so jealous!

  • @allyrooh3628

    Those pancakes look very good! Another idea for pancake syrup would be adding some of the jam to the powdered sugar mixture. Okay, I think I'm going to have to make breakfast for dinner tonight! If you had bacon grease (and it didn't make your comment section lose their minds) that would be good in the beans and the alfredo! Good video!

    I got that pizza sauce I really don’t like the flavor of it I don’t know why it just doesn’t go over with me I’ll stick to my little can of Chef Boyardee or Walmart brand those two I can handle but for some reason my stomach does not like that stuff from dollar tree
