Hi, Can you list what's goes in the chicken skewer? please..

Amaaaaaazing Sara❤❤

I would love to see how your kids plates look too! Yours always looks delicious but seeing the kids is helpful too

Hah 😂 tradwife with her own youtube account making content for money. Hardly traditional

You should move to New Brunswick! It is much more affordable to buy a home and you are allowed to have chickens within city limits. We have a wonderful Catholic community in Saint John!

Bro I thought this was ironic, how cringed

Ooh, I like that pink dress! 💜

Def a lot cheaper than eating out, though these are very bougie, high quality “poor” mans meals 😅 . But in context of todays day and age and inflation, $20 for a meal for a family of 7 of that quality is cheap. Just one meal at a local Canadian restaurant will easily come up to $20/person.

Alt right, only white women, she still works another job 🔥

This is literally the WORST 'poor man' meal video i've ever watched in my life. GOAT feta cheese!?? Frugal?!?? I am a Christian, but I don't think you should post and use triggering titles and phrases for attention because God wants us to live a quiet and peaceful life. You must know that poor families can't buy and consume half of these things on a daily basis. Although its cheaper than restaurant, yes, (tbh, so is literally anything you make at home, whether thats crab legs or spaghetti) this is extremely unrealistic. If anyone is looking for actual budget meals, check out see mindy mom, farmhouse on boone, 3 rivers homestead, or julia pacheo.

favorite hymns or resources for hymns? its been a hot minute since I sang one 😂

Hmm. I think the issue here is that you live in British Columbia, where I imagine wild-caught seafood can be fairly inexpensive compared to the COL there. However, for more land-locked areas with lower COL, most seafood is considered a luxury, which is why some people might be reacting badly to the "I think people hear halibut and they think, 'Oh, so expensive!' No, not really," comment. 😬It's a bit dismissive and generalizing, and can come across as out of touch. I totally get what you were going for with the title, and I think these are still some great meal ideas, but these perhaps would not be considered a "poor man's" meal in most parts of the West. It seems hyper-specific to your area and thus isn't gonna jive with most people's idea of super budget meals. EDIT: For context, I live in Texas (which generally has low food costs) and I've never in my life seen wild halibut for less than $20/lb, and I'm a pretty darn savvy shopper. Cheap fish here ($7/lb or less) would be tilapia, rainbow trout, or catfish, but that's because they're all farmed (and that's still considered a hefty price per pound for a protein here). However, I guarantee that I can get grass-fed beef way cheaper than y'all can in BC. Just be careful discussing regional foods in the context of absolutes! What might be available for cheap in your area might not be in others.

I love this video. It's so important to eat whole, healthy ingredients and to be a good steward. I believe that you either give it to the grocer or the doctor.

Love the video Sarah ! When me and my family of 3 go out for dinner it’s a minimum of $40 :( so I’m happy to see these meals and I’m going to try them out .❤❤

Hi! Electrolyte drink packets like this are wonderful for athletes who are sweating a lot in the summer heat. But for the everyday person, you get enough electrolytes in your food. The average person should aim to consume no more than 2300 mg sodium daily to prevent high blood pressure. Most people get far more than that in their food. I worry that advertising as "ensuring you are adequately hydrated" will lead to poor health outcomes down the road. If you aren't sweating profusely, the only hydration you need is water.

These aren't poor man meals these are just homemade meals.

Priorities are important. The average person “unable” to afford a $20 meal for 7 (twice!!) are spending that money other ways 🤷‍♀️ My family was NOT well off growing up and we still ate healthy and had plenty to eat with 6 kids. Lots of other areas than food you can really cut expenses if you want to :) eating out, subscriptions, phone bills, little unnecessary purchases. It adds up.

Why do so many people not understand terminology?

I’m cracking up at how many people can get so offended and so mad at the simplest things. Like, you made a $20 meal for a family of seven and people are losing their mind. But you go out and eat, and a family is seven would probably be close to $100. Your videos are amazing and maybe not everyone’s cuppa tea. But, if that’s the case then why are they here? I’m sure it would be easy to go into their homes and sit and watch them and criticize things they did.

Thank you for the inspiration! Love your content ❤

Those might be relatively budget friendly meals. It’s a horrible thing to call them poor man meals. This fails to recognise the reality of poor people, who have to cut out meat and fresh veggies on a daily basis to make meals affordable. Unaware of privilege.

Hi Sarah, thank you for this video! I can't wait to try some of these recipes for my family. I've noticed that you're including a lot more dairy/animal based products in your meals and im curious how it has affected your skin (which looks glowy). I remember your older videos when you said dairy triggers acne for you and it's the same for me 😊

Thank you for another amazing video my friend❤

I would not consider this menu as "poor man's meals"

"The kids think it's hilarious" is a great reason to add peanut butter instead of tahini! Hahahaha! Love this.

Could also use that flatbread for communion too , hahaha 😂😂

That 14 minute In gyros meal low key looks amazing and has me starving a. BIt

Thanks for ideas! You are genius!

Idk why so many people are against buying farmed fish and insist on wild caught only. Wild caught is more likely to cause environmental damage due to unscrupulous fishing practices and is also more likely to contain micro plastic because of pollution. Let’s end this weird stigma against farmed fish!

Please acknowledge your privilege with using the title “poor man” that’s extremely insensitive to those of us actually experiencing poverty.

Some of these comments are way too deep 😂

Thank you for this video, I'm always on the hunt for more family-friendly meals and i love seeing how you use up what you have 🙌

Poor man suppers? Our poor man suppers are a dollar a person. These dinners are splurge meals at our house. The meals look yummy.

I don’t understand why everyone’s in an uproar about the $20 meal. Dude there are ways to find the fish in an affordable way but you have to look around at where you’re shopping and look for markdowns. Also she fed 7 people for TWO meals. Which means $1.43 per plate. In what world is that not a “poor man’s” meal. And everyone complaining about not having time to do the bread yourself because you work full time that’s fine then making bread isn’t for you (although more realistically you don’t have time to LEARN to bake bread). She’s a SAHM your lives are different. She’s not shaming you for not being the same as her, you’re doing that to yourself. If you don’t have time to make your bread from scratch, then don’t, find a store where you can get your bread option for free. But expecting a true “poor man’s” meal and then complaining about making bread from scratch is kinda silly. Our great grandparents made their bread when it became too expensive so pick your poison. Time is money and when it comes to the bread either make it yourself or pay for it but don’t complain about both, you don’t get magic bread that just appears on your counter

I really enjoy this type of video!

Great video, Sarah Therese!💝

I really appreciate this video! I’ve been trying to utilize some more vegetables without buying ready made hummus etc and add some diversity to our diet and these recipes have made me super excited to get cooking next week. Cheers and thanks for being here and sharing despite the flack ❤

I loved this video!! Thank you for sharing!

All these folks just blasting Sarah for calling these poor man meals need to calm down a little, it's ok guys, the world isn't ending! Truth be told as a kid in a big family it does sound like these meals are cheap given what they are, and I appreciate the inspiration even if they aren't what the truly poor man of today would be eating.

I will definitely be trying your cold tomato sauce! Thank you!

But there’s no w in pasta so are we actually wrong? 🤔

LOVE when you do these videos! I've been trying to be more intentional with our budget lately 👌

Absolutely love the idea of doing my burger pattie’s that way. I definitely need to have a go at making flat breads too. I think it’s amazing what you are making for $20-30 for a family of 7! I know people are struggling but as a mum who works full time I’m still able to make things for my family from scratch, I make most of my bread products and do baked goods too

Pasta is a great inexpensive meal

I just want to find the cheapest, but balanced meals available. That means vegetables and fruit, not just protein and simple carbs (rice, pasta etc). Vegetables are expensive where i live.

I cook my family's Great Depression meal (at least 2x per week) which is roasted potatoes mixed with scrambled eggs and ground beef. Sometimes I replace the ground beef with sausages. It tastes so good.

Hello Sarah, I really enjoy watching your videos! It’s really inspiring for a young person who I am :) Honesty, I don’t see a problem with “poor man meals” title cause I watched other videos and I know that you and your husband figured it out when you were younger, starting family. I don’t get it why we have to be soo careful saying anything today. Everybody chill out a bit ! Enjoy summer and spread love ❤️ Greetings from Poland :) have a nice day

That Greek salad looked amazing!

Poor? No ma'am just a meal for $20.
