Julia, I don’t know if you’ll see this, but you deserve all the success you’ve had. Many YT’ers use clickbait, kids for content, etc, and here you consistently deliver budget friendly HEALTHY recipes. You are a gem. Thank you.
Sharing with everyone. Julia, I am poor, and i was buying ramen noodles and other unhealthy foods because they are affordable. Thank you so much for these videos, I am learning how to eat healthy on a tight budget. Bless your heart. ❤😊 -Shirley and Skittles Marie 🐱 🐈
@@shirleygiordano7627 that is so awesome!! I wish Julia was around when I was young, struggling and had no money past , rent, bus fare and cheap foods!
Thank you so very much for sharing that with me, Shirley. I appreciate you being so sweet and sharing your situation with the rest of us. I do hope that these ideas help you my friend. Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and I’m glad that these ideas will help you💜💜💜
Julia, at the risk of repeating myself from a previous video, you are an amazing young woman. My husband and I are both retired and living on Social Security checks. Your budget friendly menus are a life saver. Thank you. ❤
Oh, Sheryl, thank you so very much. I’m really happy to hear that you and your husband appreciate my videos so much it means a lot to have viewers like you. Thank you so much! I really love hearing these kinds of positive comments. I hope you know that!💜💜💜
Next year when seniors lose benefits we will need Julia’s help to stretch the budget when the food prices skyrocket. 😢 U.S. had lower inflation and prices compared to other countries. A lot of our food sources come from Mexico & Canada.
I'm watching you as I do my dishes. I was giggling at your big smile as you held up your cans at the store. Then your onion running away made me laugh. Have a great day!!
The idea of throwing the chili over the top of baked potatoes is just AWESOME! I don't know WHY after so many years of cooking, I have never thought to do this!!! Thanks Julia!!!
Your shopping trip reminded me of when I was in my 30's and cooking for a husband and 5 kiddos. I would take a $20 bill and a calculator and get the best ingredients I could. Now we are retired and I still appreciate the need to be frugal. Thanks, Julia and happy holidays to you and your family!
Thank you so very much for sharing that experience. I am sure that was a difficult time. Such a large family to feed with so little money. I sure do appreciate you and your support and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your holiday season💚❤️💚
There’s a certain casualness you have with the way you stir as well as the manner in which you spice up the dishes - love that! You cook to live, not “live to cook”. No extensive ingredient list or complicated prep work, yay! I’m also delighted to see a week’s worth of eating without chicken or hamburger 🤣 You are down-to-earth, my dear. Keep posting!
Well thank you so very much, Joann. That is wonderful feedback! I truly am grateful for your positive comment. It definitely helps me and I hope you enjoy some of these meals. Have a great rest of your week☃️☃️

Hi Julia! I am especially thankful for these budget friendly meals. I must confess that I have spent a bit too much on the holidays, so these meals are a welcomed blessing. You have continually shown me that delicious meals don't have to be expensive. I love to watch your Sunday videos for the content, and your sweet personality is so uplifting. May you and your family be blessed.
That means the world to me. Thank you so much for your positive words of love and encouragement. It means so much to have a loyal follower like you! I appreciate that so much and I hope you know that. I do hope that these ideas help. Spending too much seems to be the nature of things at this time of year. I hope these ideas help and thank you so much again💜💜💜☃️
Oh, Dana, thank you so very much! I really appreciate that wonderful shout out about my cookbook. And yes, I i’m thinking about my new one. Have a great week and thank you so much again💜💜💜
These are some great recipes and so easy! My husband loves bean burritos, he used to get those from taco bell all the time, and it wasn't too long ago he said he missed them. I think I'll surprise him with some this week. Thank you Julia for always coming through for us! Have a blessed week! 💕
That’s awesome! I really hope he enjoys these bean burritos. Hope they’re better than Taco Bell! Ha ha. Thank you so much, Jerri 💜💜 hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
These meals are perfect for anyone. We should always try to save, struggling or not. Thank you for sharing, Julia and have a blessed and wonderful week! xoxo
Another good way to use your leftover chili is to make chili spaghetti. Just cook your pasta and heat up your chili and put it over the top of your noodles so good and inexpensive. Your meals look delicious.
The Walmart frozen veggies are SO GOOD. I kind of like Walmart, at least in my area, but my wife can't stand the vibe. To people like her: Try the curbside pickup! This lets you get the value without the shopping experience which, like I said, I enjoy but you may not! I love how excited you are about the good food in front of you. I recently volunteered at a food bank drive-up distribution line and I felt the same way. "This is such good food! I'm so excited for you to have it!" (Which is another reminder to those trying to eat on a budget: If you're strapped for cash, the local food bank is there for you! They are excited to get food onto your plate, and judgment-free.)
This is very true! Thank you so very much for sharing that positive comment about the food bank. If people have one in their area, that is a great way to get some of the basics. And thank you so very much for your positive feedback and comment. That means a lot to me! I hope you have a great week and thank you so much again🙌🏼🙌🏼
I just.ordered another copy.of your cookbook!:) I bought the first copy to have some easy recipes to teach my teenagers how to cook. My mom was visiting and really liked your book, so I'm ordering her a copy. What's funny is, I never thought I'd be ordering my mom a good book. My dad is a retired chef. He has always done the cooking, and the recipes live in his head. But his health isn't great and recently.He had to have surgery on his wrist, my mom has had to do some of the cooking. It turns out she likes to do it, but she needs some easy to read, easy to use recipes. And of course they are on a limited budget and so the fact that the recipes are so budget friendly is a big help to them as well. ❤
I just found your channel and I'm so grateful I did. My husband has been out of work for the past several months so I am really pulling in the reigns on spending. My grocery costs is one area I know I can cut, and you're budget recipes will make it so much easier to do that. Thank you for all you put in to this channel to share with us these awesome and affordable recipes! Greatly appreciated.
Thank you so very much for finding me! I am so happy you did too. I do hope that these ideas help you and I’m really sorry to hear that your husband‘s been out of work for so long. Thank you so very much for joining me here and I hope you enjoy these meals. Welcome to my UA-cam family💜💜
Well thank you so very much for ordering my cookbook. I really hope you enjoy it! You’re the best. And yes! The backdrop to this particular Walmart is so pretty. It’s kind of crazy! Have a great rest of your week and thank you so much again, Heather☃️💜
I bought this cookbook for my 14 year old son and it made him love cooking. He has problems with confidence but reading your book and seeing all the possible additions and substitutions gave him the confidence he needs to become an experimental chef and try new things. Thank you!
This is wonderful!!! Great for families and empty nester! Making food stretch is so important!! I bought your cookbook last week for Christmas gifts!! Appreciate your passion
Thank you so very much for purchasing my cookbooks! I sure hope everyone enjoys it💜Thank you so much for your positive feedback too. You have a great rest of your week, Amber!!
You made a delicious chili recipe and many affordable, yummy recipes that are easy to follow. This will help many families and people who are on a tight budget. Thank you! 😊
Thank you so very much for that wonderful suggestion! Yes! It will be live at this Sunday. I hope you love it and are able to use some of the recipes, Jeri🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
In a world where social media influencers are flaunting how much money they’ve squandered on luxury shopping hauls, you keep things humble, real, and kind. It’s very much appreciated. Wishing you and your family continued wellness and joy.
That would be the best job ever! I would love to meet all of you especially. Thank you so much and I hope you have a great rest of your week my friend💜💜
So simple yet wonderfully creative! I look forward to your videos and love how you can create such yummy meals within a tight budget. Thanks for everything you do!
Good morning Julia, some amazing meal ideas today especially with high costs at the grocery store. $15/week seems unreal but youve made it happen again. ❤👏
Oh, Heidi, thank you so very much! Your positive feedback means so much and I appreciate hearing that. I hope my meals help and take care of yourself💜💜
Thank you so very much, Judy. I appreciate that so much. You are so kind and I consider you a blessing to me as well. I hope that these ideas help and thank you so much again my friend☃️
Thank you for being there for me every Sunday morning to give me a little dinner inspiration ❤ I always look forward to it and I appreciate you so much. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🎉
Well thank you so much! I appreciate you being here every Sunday for me. Thank you so much for your kind words and a very merry Christmas to you too my friend💚❤️💚
Thank you for turning your knowledge into a philosophy, even though this isn't a necessity for you to get by anymore. ❤ I'm no longer living with food insecurity, but even though I can afford food, I struggle to structure my meal planning to minimize food waste. Your examples help a TON.
Thank you so much, Mary! I am so happy to have you here and I really appreciate your loyal support. Thank you so much for being with me every week and I hope you enjoy some of these meals💜💜💜
Julia... I just love love love watching and reading your recipes. I even bought a book! 😊 your dishes is a lifesaver for my sensory children. The flavor and spices is just perfect! Even my crowd pleasers love it! I tell them It's Julia Pacheco's recipes. Not 1 complaints. French pizza is #1 favorite in my household. Save me money from having order them. Thank you!
Oh, Vicky, thank you so very much for sharing that. I am really happy to hear that your children enjoy my recipes. I am sure that is difficult to work with sensory issues. Definitely challenging I am sure. Your feedback is so awesome and I really appreciate it so much. Thank you so much again and you have a great rest of your week💜💜💜
Thank you so much for sharing this and taking the time out of your day to do so. I love these kind of videos!!! I eat lots of fruits, veggies, nuts, greens, salads, etc.
Well thank you so very much, Natasha! I appreciate that. And I really appreciate your kind words. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables is definitely the way to go! Hope you enjoy and have a great rest of your week☃️
Great video Julia! You are to blame in moving me away from packaged dinners and whole cooking and I thank you and will never look back! You are providing a great service for people by teaching them to cook again and on a budget! Whole cooking is so much more affordable in the end!
Julia, I use the rice a roni white cheddar shells, add broccoli and eckridge smoke sausage and its a family favorite that the grown children still ask for when they come over!!! Thank you so much for all your videos!!
Always love your menu ideas! And you are one of the few creators that I stay n watch all the ads just to help you out as much as I can! Merry Christmas to you and your entire family! 🎄⛪️🎅
Oh, Sylvia, thank you so very much for doing that! You are a true friend. I really appreciate that so much and I’m so happy to have you here. Thank you so much for your kindness and support and I hope you enjoy some of these meals💜💜💜
I just bought the book! I was reading through the comments and it was just amazing to see how you are helping others who are struggling just to put a meal together with today's grocery prices! I was telling my husband about you and how you put together good meals on a budget a long time ago before we even had the inflation as we do now. Thank you Julia and I wish the best for you, God Bless.
I love watching your videos and learning how to prepare your great recipes! Julia, you are a breath of fresh air and you are so polite and kind. You are a great example to your viewers. I’m going to buy your cookbook and continue to support your channel by watching your videos. Tysm for sharing your abilities and teaching us how to live healthy on a budget. God bless you dear, sweet lady!
Well that is just the kindest compliment ever, Terry. Thank you so very much! I’m so happy to have you here and I appreciate your kind words more than you may know. I sure do appreciate you being one of my loyal subscribers and I really appreciate you ordering my cookbook. That means a lot to me! I hope you have a great rest of your week and thank you so very much for your wonderful support blessings to you and your family my friend☃️💜☃️
Julia thank you for the wonderful frugal delicious recipes. I appreciate struggles people have overcome. It makes you resilient and capable of managing your budget and resources. My mother could make soup out of nothing. I learned from her. My father was injured and was a year recovering. 4 children to feed will make you creative. We all need to learn this. Thank you.
I am sure she did! Thank you so very much for sharing your story here, Donna. And you’re absolutely right, most people have had times that they really struggled in their lives. Thank you so much for your positive comment and I hope you enjoy some of these ideas💜💜
This was an excellent video, Julia! What amazing meals you can create on a budget with a little thought put into it. I'm definitely going to give these all a try. Thank you for taking the time to put this together for us; it helps so many of us. Have a blessed week, Julia!❤😊
Thank you so very much, Michelle! I appreciate your positive feedback about it. I sure hope you enjoy them and thank you so very much again. Have a great rest of your day my friend💜💜💜
Happy Sunday Night Julia ! You showed my favorite saying "Small Steps Everyday". I use it like a mantra for myself! I love your creativity in these very low spending recipe videos. I most especially love that you are humble and acknowledge that you know what it means to struggle financially. I am looking forward to what you're cooking up for the holidays ! 🎄❤️☃️✨️
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! And thank you so very much for your kind words. I do enjoy that particular sign. It is a good reminder for me as well. Those times when you are struggling definitely humble you. Thank you so very much again and I really do appreciate your loyal support and kindness💜💜
Julia, love your videos and have been watching since Covid isolation a couple years ago. I wonder if you would do a "stock up" kind of video-where you would show people on a tight budget what basic things to buy once a month so they can keep seasonings, oils, etc. on hand? It can be a challenge to fit this into a budget, and I wonder how you accomplish this frugally. You must be a good budgeter as well as being a good cook? Thank you for all you do and share with us.
I definitely love this idea! Thank you so very much for sharing this great suggestion. and it is very important when you do have a little extra money, 10 richest seasonings and items that can be frozen.🙌🏼🙌🏼
I’m really happy to hear that Walmart has what you need for your son. Thank you so much for sharing that with others too. I am sure you having to work around his celiac is extremely difficult. Thank you so much for watching and I hope that some of these ideas help💜💜
Oh my goodness, Maggie! I am so happy to hear that. Glad everybody enjoyed it and it will become part of your new rotation now. Thank you so much for sharing your positive feedback and have a wonderful rest of your week💜💜💜
Thanks so much for sharing these yummy recipes. I purchased your cook book a short while back, and I absolutely love it. The videos are so helpful (I'm a visual person - so watching someone actually prepare the recipe is great,) but having the cookbook to take to the kitchen with me and follow along is tremendous. Thanks again for sharing your hearth and home with us!! Here's wishing you and yours a wonderful, safe holiday season!
Well thank you so very much for your kind words! I really appreciate your support, and I am so glad you're enjoying the cookbook! You are the absolute best! I sure do appreciate it💜💜💜
These recipes sound so good!!! One suggestion: add your tomato paste right after the garlic and saute it for about 2 minutes before you add the beans and water. This will add a nice roasted flavor.
@ 13:00 I'm embarrassed that I've never thought to cut that extra sideways cut when opening up my baked potatoes😊. My husband also likes to fill baked potatoes with leftover roast beef and gravy with melted cheese. Cheap, easy leftovers.
I don't know if you make egg burritos? Scramble eggs mix cheese in . Place tortilla on top of eggs still in the pan , flip onto tortilla, and place back in pan to warm . Place on plate and roll up. We love these
You always make such delicious meals with the most basic ingredients. It's amazing how you think of all these terrific recipes. Your voice is also so calming. 😊
I love to watch your videos. I have cooked for decades but seeing your enthusiasm makes me happy. I love to cook and you also see the healthy benefit of cooking family meals. I particularly like the pointers you give us for shopping at Walmart. It helps stretch the Social Security check and yet eat tasty and nutritious meals. God Bless you and your family.
Oh, Nancy, thank you so very much. You are so kind and I appreciate your positive feedback about my channel. It means a lot to me! I hope you know that. Have a great rest of your week and thank you so very much for taking the time to leave such a nice compliment💜💜💜💜
I finally decided to go ahead and buy your cookbook, not only for me, but for my daughters as well. I really need to plan things out way in advance. But, sometimes I just don't have the time. I try to keep a stocked pantry and freezer, but I also have picky eaters. I would probably eat a lot of the meals you cook.
That is the best feedback ever. Thank you so very much for sharing that with me and I really do appreciate you sharing my channel with so many others. It definitely helps🙌🏼🙌🏼
Well thank you so very much for ordering my cookbook, Cortney! I really hope you enjoy it and most importantly, I really appreciate your loyal support over the years☃️☃️
I’m lucky enough to have a good grocery budget, but everyone needs to stretch money these days. My husband just bought me your cookbook for my birthday! I’m so excited for it to come!
Oh my goodness! I am so happy to hear that, Jennifer. I really hope you enjoy my cookbook. And you’re so right, it doesn’t matter how much you have, it’s good to be frugal at the grocery store. Thank you so much for sharing your point of you and I appreciate you watching💜💜
Julia, everything looks yumm as always. It's chilly here so lately I'm craving comfort food. I'm going to try the potato stew & loaded chili baked potato for the upcoming week. Something to look forward to. Have a wonderful week. Greetz from the 🇳🇱
That’s wonderful! I really hope you enjoy those recipes. I bet it is chilly there, but so beautiful too! Thank you so much for your wonderful love and support from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Julia, I really don’t know how you come up with these ideas, but thank you. I know many young families that can use these ideas. I will be trying the baked potatoes and chili myself.😊. So thank you so much for the ideas and cost. Yum!!! ❤❤❤
That’s wonderful! I sure hope you enjoy those baked potatoes. And that some of the other ideas are tasty too. Thank you so much for your positive comment, Constance and have a great rest of your day🙌🏼💜

Hello Julia! Another amazing group of cheap & scrumpious meals on a budget! You are most definitely a miracle worker in the kitchen! I love your pots you use! Where can I find those?? I had a bad spell yesterday with my heart & had to take a nitro pill. So, I’m resting today and what a delight to see your beautiful sweet face!! Love & blessings to you ! ✝️❤️😊
Oh no, Betty! I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you’re doing well. You need to take it easy. You are so kind and we want you here for a lot longer.💜🙏 you can find many of my pots and my Dutch oven‘s in my Amazon store.

I’m always amazed to see what you can make for $15! I live with my sister and the two of us love your shredded BBQ chicken slow cooker recipe. You helped us start experimenting with our slow cooker. Thank you!
Well good for you guys, Laura! That is just awesome. And I appreciate your positive feedback. I definitely hope you can use some of these recipes. Happy slow cooker cooking. Have a wonderful rest of your day💜💜
Your videos are my favorite on UA-cam!! Thank you for all the great ideas! I'm going to Walmart today and shopping for these items and making these recipes. My husband and I are on social security and on a budget. Thank you so much! You have no idea how much you help people! ❤😊
I love this weeks budget meals! You never cease to amaze me Julia I just love you I’m giving all the foodies in my family your cookbook for Christmas! Love love love
That tip for getting the tomato paste outta the can was awesome! We can't afford to waste any groceries or money nowadays. And I never thought about cooking pintos all at once & saving what you don't use for another delicious meal! Thank you for all your thoughtful and helpful recipes and tips 😊😊
Well thank you so very much, Deena! I’m so happy to hear that these tips helped you so much. You’re the best and I really do appreciate your kind words. I hope that these meals help you save money too💜
Love baked potatoes topped with chilli...im hungry for that now...lol. Im in my 70s i dont find soaking beans over nite helps anything...beans seem to be just a natural gasy food. Pinto beans were always a once a week meal...with fried potatoes and cornbread. Left over beans were put in a baking pan with some ketchup...little mustard cubed up ham some cubed up toast...like a casorole...my dads favorite. Cooking is so much fun with experiments ....isnt it 😊.....you go girl! Love your channel!!
You’re the best, Connie. Thank you so much! I’m really happy to have you here and I appreciate you sharing your comment about the beans. I definitely have viewers that I have strong opinions about soaking the beans or not soaking the beans. Thank you so much for sharing that casserole that you have used with leftover beans. I hope you have a great week and thank you so much for your positive comment💜💜☃️
This is really amazing that you could pull off reasonably healthy and delicious meals for a week of family dinners for just $15 right now. I’m feeling inspired to try to save a little this month since spending gets a bit out of control around the holidays!
Julia, I don’t know if you’ll see this, but you deserve all the success you’ve had. Many YT’ers use clickbait, kids for content, etc, and here you consistently deliver budget friendly HEALTHY recipes. You are a gem. Thank you.

You’re so very welcome, Amy! I definitely hope you enjoy your baked potato this way🙌🏼🙌🏼
Chili is also delicious served over baked sweet potatoes!! Both are favorites in our household :)

It turns out she likes to do it, but she needs some easy to read, easy to use recipes. And of course they are on a limited budget and so the fact that the recipes are so budget friendly is a big help to them as well. ❤
I just found your channel and I'm so grateful I did. My husband has been out of work for the past several months so I am really pulling in the reigns on spending. My grocery costs is one area I know I can cut, and you're budget recipes will make it so much easier to do that. Thank you for all you put in to this channel to share with us these awesome and affordable recipes! Greatly appreciated.
Thank you so very much for finding me! I am so happy you did too. I do hope that these ideas help you and I’m really sorry to hear that your husband‘s been out of work for so long. Thank you so very much for joining me here and I hope you enjoy these meals. Welcome to my UA-cam family💜💜
The view of those mountains are gorgeous! I just ordered your cookbook as a holiday gift to myself 🥰
Well thank you so very much for ordering my cookbook. I really hope you enjoy it! You’re the best. And yes! The backdrop to this particular Walmart is so pretty. It’s kind of crazy! Have a great rest of your week and thank you so much again, Heather☃️💜
I bought this cookbook for my 14 year old son and it made him love cooking. He has problems with confidence but reading your book and seeing all the possible additions and substitutions gave him the confidence he needs to become an experimental chef and try new things. Thank you!
Thanks for all of the recipes and showing you can eat on a budget. Many of the things are a staple in my home.
You are so very welcome! I’m glad you liked those recipes and that they are budget-friendly for you!☃️

Oh, Heidi, thank you so very much! Your positive feedback means so much and I appreciate hearing that. I hope my meals help and take care of yourself💜💜
What a blessing you are……so many wonderful but practical ideas. It’s good to know that even in these days of high food prices we can eat well!

I am so glad! Thank you so much for sharing your positive comment, Michelle and I definitely hope they help💜💜
Thank you for turning your knowledge into a philosophy, even though this isn't a necessity for you to get by anymore. ❤
I'm no longer living with food insecurity, but even though I can afford food, I struggle to structure my meal planning to minimize food waste.
Your examples help a TON.
Thank you so much for Sharing that. I am so glad it has helped you!💜💜
You're amazing! Thank you for all you do. (Great recipes every week for years)
Thank you so much, Mary! I am so happy to have you here and I really appreciate your loyal support. Thank you so much for being with me every week and I hope you enjoy some of these meals💜💜💜
Julia... I just love love love watching and reading your recipes. I even bought a book! 😊 your dishes is a lifesaver for my sensory children. The flavor and spices is just perfect! Even my crowd pleasers love it! I tell them It's Julia Pacheco's recipes. Not 1 complaints. French pizza is #1 favorite in my household. Save me money from having order them. Thank you!
Oh, Vicky, thank you so very much for sharing that. I am really happy to hear that your children enjoy my recipes. I am sure that is difficult to work with sensory issues. Definitely challenging I am sure. Your feedback is so awesome and I really appreciate it so much. Thank you so much again and you have a great rest of your week💜💜💜
One word, "yum". Thanks for sharing. Have a fabulous day. Sending love and big hugs Sherry 💚 ❤
Thank you so very much for your kind words, Sherry! 💚💚💚
Thank you so much for sharing this and taking the time out of your day to do so. I love these kind of videos!!! I eat lots of fruits, veggies, nuts, greens, salads, etc.
Well thank you so very much, Natasha! I appreciate that. And I really appreciate your kind words. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables is definitely the way to go! Hope you enjoy and have a great rest of your week☃️
Great video Julia! You are to blame in moving me away from packaged dinners and whole cooking and I thank you and will never look back! You are providing a great service for people by teaching them to cook again and on a budget! Whole cooking is so much more affordable in the end!
Great meals you put together. I love them all❤
That’s awesome! Thanks so much. I sure do love hearing from you every week my friend💜💜
What great meal plans! Pretty sure I have all shopping list items in my pantry so I can make them all.
That’s wonderful, Barbara. I really hope you enjoy them and thanks so much💜💜
Julia, I use the rice a roni white cheddar shells, add broccoli and eckridge smoke sausage and its a family favorite that the grown children still ask for when they come over!!! Thank you so much for all your videos!!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing that. That does sound so good. Thanks so much for being here and hope you have a great week💜💜
Always love your menu ideas! And you are one of the few creators that I stay n watch all the ads just to help you out as much as I can! Merry Christmas to you and your entire family! 🎄⛪️🎅
Oh, Sylvia, thank you so very much for doing that! You are a true friend. I really appreciate that so much and I’m so happy to have you here. Thank you so much for your kindness and support and I hope you enjoy some of these meals💜💜💜
I just bought the book! I was reading through the comments and it was just amazing to see how you are helping others who are struggling just to put a meal together with today's grocery prices! I was telling my husband about you and how you put together good meals on a budget a long time ago before we even had the inflation as we do now. Thank you Julia and I wish the best for you, God Bless.
I love watching your videos and learning how to prepare your great recipes! Julia, you are a breath of fresh air and you are so polite and kind. You are a great example to your viewers. I’m going to buy your cookbook and continue to support your channel by watching your videos. Tysm for sharing your abilities and teaching us how to live healthy on a budget. God bless you dear, sweet lady!
Well that is just the kindest compliment ever, Terry. Thank you so very much! I’m so happy to have you here and I appreciate your kind words more than you may know. I sure do appreciate you being one of my loyal subscribers and I really appreciate you ordering my cookbook. That means a lot to me! I hope you have a great rest of your week and thank you so very much for your wonderful support blessings to you and your family my friend☃️💜☃️
Julia thank you for the wonderful frugal delicious recipes. I appreciate struggles people have overcome. It makes you resilient and capable of managing your budget and resources. My mother could make soup out of nothing. I learned from her. My father was injured and was a year recovering. 4 children to feed will make you creative. We all need to learn this. Thank you.
I am sure she did! Thank you so very much for sharing your story here, Donna. And you’re absolutely right, most people have had times that they really struggled in their lives. Thank you so much for your positive comment and I hope you enjoy some of these ideas💜💜
This was an excellent video, Julia! What amazing meals you can create on a budget with a little thought put into it. I'm definitely going to give these all a try. Thank you for taking the time to put this together for us; it helps so many of us. Have a blessed week, Julia!❤😊
Thank you so very much, Michelle! I appreciate your positive feedback about it. I sure hope you enjoy them and thank you so very much again. Have a great rest of your day my friend💜💜💜
Hello Julia wow $15 you can't beat that now that's my kind of budget and the recipes look sooooo delicious 😋😋 thanks Julia have a fantastic day!
Thanks so much, Wanda! I appreciate that and your positive support means the world to me every week. I hope you have a wonderful week☃️☃️
Happy Sunday Night Julia ! You showed my favorite saying "Small Steps Everyday". I use it like a mantra for myself!
I love your creativity in these very low spending recipe videos. I most especially love that you are humble and acknowledge that you know what it means to struggle financially. I am looking forward to what you're cooking up for the holidays ! 🎄❤️☃️✨️
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! And thank you so very much for your kind words. I do enjoy that particular sign. It is a good reminder for me as well. Those times when you are struggling definitely humble you. Thank you so very much again and I really do appreciate your loyal support and kindness💜💜
I have recommended your channel so many times. I love all of your tips 🥰
Fr. I just recommended it to my joyfriend.
Great budget recipes! Thanks so much,Julia! ❤️🤗
You are so very welcome! I hope you enjoy them and have a wonderful rest of your week, Kathy💜💜
That ranch lasta looks awesome. I bet my son would love it!!!
That’s awesome! I hope he enjoys it💜🙌🏼
Julia, love your videos and have been watching since Covid isolation a couple years ago. I wonder if you would do a "stock up" kind of video-where you would show people on a tight budget what basic things to buy once a month so they can keep seasonings, oils, etc. on hand? It can be a challenge to fit this into a budget, and I wonder how you accomplish this frugally. You must be a good budgeter as well as being a good cook? Thank you for all you do and share with us.
I definitely love this idea! Thank you so very much for sharing this great suggestion. and it is very important when you do have a little extra money, 10 richest seasonings and items that can be frozen.🙌🏼🙌🏼
My son has celiac so it’s super hard for me to shop for just store brands but Walmart definitely is our best option so thank you for this. ❤
We struggle with the same thing and our town just don’t have a lot
@ Same here. I usually have to hit 3 stores each week.
I’m really happy to hear that Walmart has what you need for your son. Thank you so much for sharing that with others too. I am sure you having to work around his celiac is extremely difficult. Thank you so much for watching and I hope that some of these ideas help💜💜
@@JuliaPacheco Your videos are amazing and every time I see a Mama struggling with her grocery budget, I always recommend your videos. 🥰
Hi Julia, great recipes you have. You always have such great ones, and these are so inexpensive too. Thanks for sharing. Stay well and safe.
Hi there, Erin! Thank you so much and I appreciate that. You are always the best and I hope you and your family have a great rest of your week☃️☃️
Hey, Julia! I made the Mac n cheese from the Thanksgiving video and it was so good! My family is begging me to make it again asap!
I made it for my church 's Thanksgiving meal and I bought home an empty dish😄
Oh my goodness, Maggie! I am so happy to hear that. Glad everybody enjoyed it and it will become part of your new rotation now. Thank you so much for sharing your positive feedback and have a wonderful rest of your week💜💜💜
Thanks so much for sharing these yummy recipes. I purchased your cook book a short while back, and I absolutely love it. The videos are so helpful (I'm a visual person - so watching someone actually prepare the recipe is great,) but having the cookbook to take to the kitchen with me and follow along is tremendous. Thanks again for sharing your hearth and home with us!! Here's wishing you and yours a wonderful, safe holiday season!
Well thank you so very much for your kind words! I really appreciate your support, and I am so glad you're enjoying the cookbook! You are the absolute best! I sure do appreciate it💜💜💜
Wow Julia! You outdid yourself! You would never think that you made all that food for around $15.00!! This will be very helpful to so many❤
Thank you so much, Maria! You’re the best and I definitely hope that these ideas help💜💜
I absolutely love the baked potato idea! And with the chili! Who knew! Thank you!
Yes! I hope you enjoy it, Jeri and thank you so much for your positive feedback about it💛💛
These recipes sound so good!!!
One suggestion: add your tomato paste right after the garlic and saute it for about 2 minutes before you add the beans and water. This will add a nice roasted flavor.
That is such a great tip! Thank you so much for sharing that with everyone! I appreciate that, Kara💜
@ 13:00 I'm embarrassed that I've never thought to cut that extra sideways cut when opening up my baked potatoes😊. My husband also likes to fill baked potatoes with leftover roast beef and gravy with melted cheese. Cheap, easy leftovers.
That sounds so good! Roast beef would be amazing in a baked potato. Thank you so much for sharing that🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love watching and learning your tips! Thank You for sharing. I really enjoy your videos. You are such a joy.
I don't know if you make egg burritos? Scramble eggs mix cheese in . Place tortilla on top of eggs still in the pan , flip onto tortilla, and place back in pan to warm . Place on plate and roll up. We love these
We used to make a big batch of burritos and freeze them individually. Easy to throw in microwave for a quick breakfast!
Can’t afford eggs right now! A dozen eggs at Walmart in Oregon is almost $6. So crazy
That’s an awesome way to do it! Thank you so much for sharing that, Lynda. I’m sure everybody else appreciates it too😉💛
Great ideas! This goes to show you don’t need to spend a lot to eat well.
I agree, thank you so much for sharing! I think you can eat really well on a budget and I hope these recipes help!☃️
I just love your energy.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that💜💜💜
You always make such delicious meals with the most basic ingredients. It's amazing how you think of all these terrific recipes. Your voice is also so calming. 😊
Well thank you so very much! I appreciate you so much too. I really mean that💜💜
@JuliaPacheco ❤️
I love your budget meal videos😊
It's chasing the onion down for me🤣
Made us laugh out loud❤
Great looking recipes!!
That is so funny! Glad you enjoyed it. I hope you love the recipes! 😂🙌🏼
I love to watch your videos. I have cooked for decades but seeing your enthusiasm makes me happy. I love to cook and you also see the healthy benefit of cooking family meals. I particularly like the pointers you give us for shopping at Walmart. It helps stretch the Social Security check and yet eat tasty and nutritious meals. God Bless you and your family.
Oh, Nancy, thank you so very much. You are so kind and I appreciate your positive feedback about my channel. It means a lot to me! I hope you know that. Have a great rest of your week and thank you so very much for taking the time to leave such a nice compliment💜💜💜💜
@
Happy Christmas season to you and your dear family! ❤️❤️🎄❤️❤️
Your ideas are inspiring, Julia. And I love that you put your phone in the freezer!
Thank you so very much! It was actually my camera. Ha ha! Thanks so much for noticing😂🙌🏼
I finally decided to go ahead and buy your cookbook, not only for me, but for my daughters as well. I really need to plan things out way in advance. But, sometimes I just don't have the time. I try to keep a stocked pantry and freezer, but I also have picky eaters. I would probably eat a lot of the meals you cook.
Your view while shopping 🤩! Thanks for all your hard work! I’m sure your family appreciates you as much as we do!
You are a blessing for so many people who are struggling right now. I recommend your channel to everyone!
That is the best feedback ever. Thank you so very much for sharing that with me and I really do appreciate you sharing my channel with so many others. It definitely helps🙌🏼🙌🏼
I’ve been watching you for years. I didn’t know you had a cookbook out until today so I just ordered one! Excited it’ll be signed. I can’t wait! ❤
Well thank you so very much for ordering my cookbook, Cortney! I really hope you enjoy it and most importantly, I really appreciate your loyal support over the years☃️☃️
I’m lucky enough to have a good grocery budget, but everyone needs to stretch money these days. My husband just bought me your cookbook for my birthday! I’m so excited for it to come!
Oh my goodness! I am so happy to hear that, Jennifer. I really hope you enjoy my cookbook. And you’re so right, it doesn’t matter how much you have, it’s good to be frugal at the grocery store. Thank you so much for sharing your point of you and I appreciate you watching💜💜
I like the way you baked your potatoes. It’s a way to save foil, never would have thought of that.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked that tip! 😊
Happy Sunday, Julia! Thank you so much! Now I want some baked potatoes! 😁
Very happy Sunday to you too my friend! I really hope you enjoy some of these baked potatoes😉☃️
These types of budget videos that you do are SO helpful these days, Julia! Thank you so much~ 😊
Thank you so much, Melissa. I am really happy to hear that they help so much.💛🙏
Julia, everything looks yumm as always. It's chilly here so lately I'm craving comfort food. I'm going to try the potato stew & loaded chili baked potato for the upcoming week. Something to look forward to. Have a wonderful week. Greetz from the 🇳🇱

I'm always looking for a meatless meal to have on a Friday so that broccoli pasta looks interesting.
That’s great! I really hope you enjoy it🙌🏼
You just amaze me! I am not a good cook, but you’ve made me seem like I am! Your recipes are easy and my family loves them! Thank you! 🥰
Well thank you so very much, Kathy! I’m so happy to hear that and I’m glad that you are feeling successful in the kitchen. That is the most important thing!💜💜

Well thank you so very much for purchasing my cookbook! I’m so happy to hear that you have it I really hope you enjoy the turkey and pasta shell meal. Thank you so much for your positive comment and I hope you have a great day💛💛💛

That’s wonderful news! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Heather. I do hope that you and your family enjoy these meals and that they help you out financially!! You have a great rest of your day and thank you so very much for being here💜💜
Hi Julia ❤ I love how you take us shopping with you. These recipes don't seem like budget food. Great video. God bless you all 😊
Well thank you so much, Valerie. I’m glad you enjoy that! I hope you enjoy some of these recipes and that you end up saving money in the end too. Thank you so much again😉🙌🏼
I’m always amazed to see what you can make for $15! I live with my sister and the two of us love your shredded BBQ chicken slow cooker recipe. You helped us start experimenting with our slow cooker. Thank you!
Well good for you guys, Laura! That is just awesome. And I appreciate your positive feedback. I definitely hope you can use some of these recipes. Happy slow cooker cooking. Have a wonderful rest of your day💜💜
Your videos are my favorite on UA-cam!! Thank you for all the great ideas! I'm going to Walmart today and shopping for these items and making these recipes. My husband and I are on social security and on a budget. Thank you so much! You have no idea how much you help people! ❤😊
I love this weeks budget meals! You never cease to amaze me Julia I just love you I’m giving all the foodies in my family your cookbook for Christmas! Love love love
Thank you for all of your great budget ideas. You have helped my family and I more than you know. ❤️
Thank you so very much. I’m really happy to hear that! You’re the best and I Appreciate your support, Jill💜
That tip for getting the tomato paste outta the can was awesome! We can't afford to waste any groceries or money nowadays. And I never thought about cooking pintos all at once & saving what you don't use for another delicious meal! Thank you for all your thoughtful and helpful recipes and tips 😊😊
When using Tomato Paste, I add water to the can once I have the majority of ot out. Swish the water around and get the can clean !
Well thank you so very much, Deena! I’m so happy to hear that these tips helped you so much. You’re the best and I really do appreciate your kind words. I hope that these meals help you save money too💜
Love baked potatoes topped with chilli...im hungry for that now...lol.
Im in my 70s i dont find soaking beans over nite helps anything...beans seem to be just a natural gasy food. Pinto beans were always a once a week meal...with fried potatoes and cornbread. Left over beans were put in a baking pan with some ketchup...little mustard cubed up ham some cubed up toast...like a casorole...my dads favorite. Cooking is so much fun with experiments ....isnt it 😊.....you go girl! Love your channel!!
You’re the best, Connie. Thank you so much! I’m really happy to have you here and I appreciate you sharing your comment about the beans. I definitely have viewers that I have strong opinions about soaking the beans or not soaking the beans. Thank you so much for sharing that casserole that you have used with leftover beans. I hope you have a great week and thank you so much for your positive comment💜💜☃️
This is really amazing that you could pull off reasonably healthy and delicious meals for a week of family dinners for just $15 right now. I’m feeling inspired to try to save a little this month since spending gets a bit out of control around the holidays!
