🌟This costs just over $14 in September 2023. Still a great deal for a week of food.
I just want to say thank you AGAIN what you do is so unique and outside the box. I went back and watched other challenges with $10 and compared, so many take the easy way out, oatmeal for breakfast, ramen for lunch, etc., your food looks great, tastes great, has variety and is nutritious. You do not take the easy way out, you are in a class by yourself!
Thank you Lyla 🥰 I appreciate your nice complements. 😁
Probably one of the healthiest $10 videos made. Lots of great ideas!
Wow, thanks! I appreciate that 😊
I know! She mentioned a couple of times that it wasn’t sustainable from a health perspective to eat this diet long term and all I could think was that it was MUCH healthier than what most people eat on a regular basis.
@@ToriE1073true, this is much healthier compared to what i eat on a 200$ food budget 😂
Definitely the most appetizing and healthy looking $10 budget meals I've seen. Well done!
Thank you so much 😁🥰
I totally agree that presentation matters. Even if it's only for you, an attractively put together plate can boost your perception of how good it is. Also, you deserve a beautiful plate just as much as any person eating in a restaurant, TREAT YO SELF! Also, it's surprising how many Great Value brand things taste just as good, or better, as the name brands.
Well said! 😁 Regarding Great Value-agreed. I'm so spoiled. I was buying sushi rice for my next video and I was so annoyed that Great Value didn't have an option for me. 😂
I buy store brands,they are cheaper and better,than name brands
Most store brands are actually name brands. Do you think Walmart has a factory for every single off brand item??? Nope they don’t.
You really made eating on a budget look gourmet! Loved all the ideas. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome! 😊 Thank you for supporting my channel 🥰
My childhood babysitter was from Japan. She was a very loving Mom to her kids and she included me and treated me like her own. She made us fried rice, along with pork or chicken, sautéed veggies and eggs. Everything was chopped small. Sometimes she gave us a little soft candy that was wrapped in wax paper. I think it was sweet bean candy. Yummy!!!
I love watching videos of Japanese women cooking. It's so relaxing to watch. 💜 Thanks so much for watching!
My grandparents are on a set income and have an especially hard time in the winter when my papaw can't do extra work. I help all that I can but I am only a college student. I am going to try these recipes with them!
Yay!! 😁I'm so glad my recipes might be helpful. Just remember that the trick to making the budget go farther is to use the ingredients across several meals and shop the sales. Are you in the United States? If so, low income seniors are eligible to receive the Commodity Supplemental Food Program. It's a box full of food that comes monthly and contains non-perishable items. You can google it, or check with the local food bank. Thanks so much for watching my video 😁🥰
Re "germophobia": it's not so much about phobia than about beginners watching cooking videos and thinking they can use unwashed produce and chemically waxed peels. Unwashed produce is 10x dirtier (I work in the service industry and have to repeat hygiene ed every year), and repeating the boring part of washing helps beginners learn. ♥️
I know it's tedious, but you're showing something important. ♥️
I love your videos and your creative and yummy ideas, I just recently found you and am binge-watching now. 😁
This video was great. Lot of variety for so few ingredients but also nutritious and flavorful. I think the people, like yourself, who take the time to make videos like this have such an impact in helping people. Sometimes when you are in the pit of despair and panicked without money you just can’t think. Videos like these could be so valuable to people who may be struggling and not sure how they will survive on $10
I'm glad you found my video useful and you liked my menu. 😁Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
I love these videos!! You should have 100,000 subscribers!
I'm so glad you liked my latest video! 😊 I appreciate your complement so much 😁
For anyone watching, as long as one isn't immunocompromised, one can make mayonnaise from egg and oil, with spices. Just a thought. I love these kinds of videos and everything looks so good! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing! 😁👩🍳
I love the little extra tips you share - use cilantro leaves with yogurt for the wrap sauce, make sure you have a scapula for eggs, use the season packet in the roman if you can't afford a whole jar of seasoning. Can't wait to watch more!
Thank you 😁👩🍳
I have literally been watching you cook all day and I LOVED 🥰 it! You remind me of my favourite Kiwi cook, Alison Holst. Her cook book 📖 dollars and sense taught me to be frugal AF. I do adore that old saying though, “they have more dollars than sense” lol 😂 I’m not in that bucket 🪣 no matter how much money I have, I will always value the food I have and the earth that also provided it. You have definitely renewed my interest in being creative with food again. As an ex cook I had reduced myself to eating to survive not necessarily to enjoy. I adore your energy and enjoyment in the dishes. I have watched A few different video clips today on food on A budget, but yours is exceptional. Most are eating the same thing everyday and calling it a win🏆 You are more realistic. You shake it up, and you actually build food from scratch which I adore immensely! You have rekindled my passion. Thank you beautiful 😻 it needed reawakening.
Hello 😁 Thank you so much for the complement. It makes me so happy that my videos are inspiring you. YAY! 🥰
Hello Michelle. I love your channel. You surprise me every time with your ability to prepare lovely dishes with little money. This was no exception. Your ideas are helpful. Thank you for all you do to share.
Willette 🙂💕
Thank you Willette 🥰 I'm so glad you find my videos helpful. Your nice comments motivate me to want to make more 😊 I appreciate your support.
Try your Dollar Tree more often. A lot of times you can get most house staples there. Some also carry 12 count eggs and cheese.
Other than that I thought your shopping trip was great and a good way to plan/prep meals.
@@politicallyincorrect944 Thank you 😊
Great video! Omg you should try making “tacos de papa” which are potato tacos usually paired with a tomato sauce. Basically it’s mashed potatoes stuffed inside a taco which can be pan fried and you can make your own tomato salsa or guacamole salsa
Hi Andrea 😁 Thanks so much. That's interesting because I've eaten quite a few potato tacos here in Southern California and yet I've never considered making them. I have no idea why not though...that is a great idea and fits in perfectly with budget videos. Thanks for the comment.
I just love your videos!! Glad to see another budget videos
Thanks for the complement and your continued support 😊🥰
Hi, AM! You really hit the ball out of the park in this video! So glad I stuck around to see it. All the meals are so creative. Next time, give yourself an extra five bucks to add in some meat/chicken and a bit of fruit. ~ Could you please make the "Eggs in Purgatory" in your next video? I've never heard of it! ~ Come back soon. :-)
So glad you liked it! 😁 I'm definitely going to start making more dishes with meat and I will try to squeeze the "eggs in purgatory" in for you. Thanks for the continued support. 😊
You really saved me this month!! Finally a money saving groceries video with healthier foods!! Just found your channel, and will subscribe!!
Yay! 😁 Thanks for subscribing and welcome to my channel 😊👩🍳 Glad to have you here.
I really enjoyed watching this video, you came up on my suggestion feed. Thanks for this video. It gave me a lot of inspiration and motivation to make some meals for the rest of the week and maybe for next week.
Thank you so much. 😁and welcome to my channel! I hope you stick around. 😊
I love seeing you show up in my subscription list. Your videos are some of my favs!
Yay! Thank you! I appreciate your support 😊
These are very valuable videos right now! You do such a great job with these challenges. 💗Everything looks so inviting! 😄
Thank you so much 🤗
This is definitely one of the healthier challenges I have seen. Lots of great ideas. Also to save the sauce from the beans to flavor the rice with.
Thanks Carmen. 😁 Glad you liked this video 🥰
Wow! You really made my day today.I have been struggling with my relationship with food and your channel made me feel inspired. Thanks so much!
I'm so glad! 😁 Thanks for watching 👩🍳 🥰
Wow! I am blown away by your creativity.
Thank you so much! 😁👩🍳
Your video was so interesting & enjoyable that I never noticed the length of it until you mentioned. So many yummy & delicious recipes, thank you.
oh good! 😁Thank you so much for letting me know. I was worried it was way too long. I spend a lot of time editing these budget challenge videos down to a reasonable time.
Love this & will be doing this same meal plan myself because I live on a severe strict budget! Thank you!❤️✅
You are so welcome! 😁 I'm glad you like it. Please eat enough protein, calcium and vitamin d though.🥛 If I were eating this meal plan on a regular basis, I would add some milk, yogurt, and a multi-vitamin just to be safe.
I'm glad I'm making meals that you want to eat! Hopefully you will like my next video just as much 😁🥰
one of my favorite breakfast is fried vegetable rice with scrambled eggs in them
So good.....
I love watching how creative u are ... I LEGIT binge watch ur videos
Yay! Thank you! That makes me so happy 😊 Thanks for watching my videos 🥰
Hi Michelle. I watched this video halfway through and decided to subscribe immediately seeing all the creative recipes you showed me. Love to see more of these challenges. Keep up the good work and I can't wait for the next video!
Thanks so much Cynthia. 😄So glad you liked it. 🥰
So much inspiration for those of us on a strict budget and Honestly would eat this all no matter how much money I had for food lol
Now THAT is the best complement ever! 🥰 Thanks for the kind words Melissa 😁
Thank you sooo much for taking the time to do these videos! I don't have the time to devote to plan healthy frugal meals in this phase of my life with a newborn and toddler.
Understood. It DOES take a lot of time to plan. So glad you find them useful 😊 I''ll do my best to keep them coming!
Great job. Thanks for the video.
Thanks! Yours is one of my favorite channels
Wow, thanks so much! 😁🥰 I appreciate your support of my channel. It helps a lot!
You did such a good job with the budget! I'm gonna keep watching for more ideas!🙂
Thanks so much! 😊 I appreciate the complement! 😁
I love your cooking videos. Please keep posting the food budget videos.
I appreciate the complement and I'm so glad you liked my newest video. 😁I will do my best to keep them coming.😊
So funny, I am literally eating the same Walmart Wheat Sandwich bread with peanut butter as I sit to click on your video.
It's so good right?!?! 😂 That is too funny!
@@ArdentMichelle it's a favorite go-to snack. Just as it is, no addition of a jelly needed (although, occasionally, that's welcome, too.) My son complains about that bread 🙄 he wanted the white. I grabbed the wrong one (oops, the one I like better, lol) but his white bread is on the list. My other son really enjoys the $1 French/Italian loaves, too. Walmart has good options for the wallet.
@@yvonnepalmquist8676 in the dairy section, in the morning, you can often find clearance bread, rolls, and other baked goods😊 if anyone needs to know
When you said that your eggs were "really expensive" at $1.28 I almost died laughing. Eggs here are $4.59 for a dozen. That's the cheap eggs. They go on sale sometimes for $2.79. I'm so jealous!
Yikes ☹️Where are you? I really need to stop saying that about certain items..especially since I have viewers from all over the world 😁🇨🇦🇮🇳🇳🇴🇸🇪What I meant....was that they are currently more expensive in my area than usual 😂 I have to save money on groceries so I can pay the HIGH cost of housing!
Same here! In Canada, they are around $5 and rarely go on sale. Fancy eggs are $8 lol
Yeah, here in Canada that "$10" budget would easily be over $20. Still, considering how expensive our food prices are, that's not that bad for a week.
Don't get me started on housing costs in bc... (insert crazy laugh)
Y’all….That is crazy, how do you afford to feed your family? I have so many eggs I don’t know what to do with them, I have 50 hens though so 😆 get a chicken or two and you’ll never have to buy eggs again! Plus they are really cute and easy to care for
Thank you for doing these videos. They've given me some ideas for eating well on a budget
You are so welcome! 😁 I'm so glad you enjoyed them
HI. I just found your channel and I am just thrilled! I have hit some hard times recently and these recipes are just in time ! Love, love the recipes and will be trying them all. I just made the breakfast burrito and it was great! Thanks so much and keep them coming!
Welcome 😊 I'm so glad you are here and that you enjoyed my breakfast burrito recipe. 😁
@@ArdentMichelle Tried your wraps and they were great! Just cooked some rice and beans and thanks to you, the options are limitless and yummy!
@@doratiscareno5856 enough already!!!🙄
You are amazing! 🤩 I absolutely adore your attitude to food. Your so creative. Thank you for sharing. You have inspired me!🙏🥰
Thank you so much 🤗 Glad you are enjoying my content.
Best Extreme Grocery Challenge I've seen yet. Kudos!
Thanks so much! 😁
I love your videos! I'm always inspired thanks!
Glad you like them! 😁👩🍳
I do think this a is sustainable long term diet. It looks very delicious and packed with nutrients. I would have saved the cilantro stems for the fried rice and might have added a tsp of peanut butter to a soy sauce and bouillon slurry to season the Fried Rice. I enjoyed this and was inspired by your vlog.
Thanks so much 😁 I'm glad you think the food is healthy and my video is inspiring you. I love the idea about the cilantro stems for the fried rice. 👍 That would have been a nice addition.
Nice job, you really remind people that meals can be very simple but delicious too!
Yes! Thank you! 😊
1st time here. You did an amazing job & relatively healthy. I loved how you showed us what was remaining, after the week was over. Well done!!
Thanks so much and welcome 😁👩🍳 Hope you decide to stick around 😊
Wow thanks for all the great meals at such a low budget price! I'm definitely going to try quite a few of those this week.
You are so welcome! Let me know how it goes 😊
Absolutely terrific!!
Thank you Cynthia. I'm so glad you liked my video and I appreciate your comment 😁
So amazed at what you were able to do! It feels like Christmas when you upload 😊 thank you for sharing, and for your lovely lovely voice that I could listen to all day every day.
Thanks for making it all worth it 🥰
Love your background music, too!
Thank you 😊
Great video. I like all of the flavor profiles you selected.
Glad you liked my video 😊
Plz make more budget videos. I loved your recipes. The recipes looks healthy, easy to make and different then the other recipes. Thank you 😍♥️♥️
Thank you so much 😁 Glad you are enjoying my videos. 🥰
If feeding more than one person, make haluski. Boil some egg noodles according to package. Shred cabbage. Saute with chopped
onion, canned diced tomatoes w. the liquid. Add a chopped apple at the end if you have one. Options to add: butter, salt, pepper.
Mix up with the noodles. Makes a lot of food and is very tasty.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe 😁 I'm excited to try it.
Great to see such healthy foods on a budget! Thanks
Thanks 😁 I appreciate the complement. Glad you are enjoying my content.
I am going to try the Walmart black beans. They aren’t my favorites but you’ve raved about them on other videos. I felt you did well with you $10 budget. Thanks
Thank you so much. 😊 Let me know what you think....but make sure to get the seasoned ones and if there is a brand you think I should try, then by all means let me know 😂 Us foodies need to share the info.
Are there other bean profiles you like better? You could do a lentil or a pinto bean and flavor it with a taco seasoning packet (or the like) as a substitute to the black beans.
As a patient who creates kidney stones beans are verboten in my diet. Peanut butter ok but nuts are out, as are some leafy greens esp. spinach.
@@carylhalfwassen8555 oh no....that's terrible. I'm so sorry...because I do cook a lot with beans. ☹️
@@yvonnepalmquist8676 It's ok because Pamee is going to love those Great Value seasoned black beans. 😂
great video, thanks Michelle
Thanks for watching!

Your suggestion to add sesame oil to fried rice got my sub! AWESOME! Love what you’re doing!!
Yay! Welcome and thanks for subbing. 😁
Yum! Great video! Don’t forget you can freeze the stems or any herbs in olive oil for later.
Great idea 👍 Glad you liked this video 😁

Lean how to make dried black beans or any beans. Beans and rice contain all the protein and carbs that you need each day. Dried beans are maybe 89 cents per pound.
Over night soaking, then simmering in stock or water, bay leaves, garlic salt. I lived on this in college.
I love making dry beans ... I actually make them quite a bit on my channel, but this was a $10 challenge and the dried black beans at Walmart were $1.14, as opposed to the can for .62. I knew I didn't need very many, so I used that extra money to purchase my avocado. 😊. I make mine just like you do, except without the bay leaf. I'll have to try that next time. 🤔 Thanks for watching.
Yes, and I learned another trick, half hour soaking in two or three slices of lemon, take all the gases away, no bloating.
Wonderful ideas for so little. I thought you done great with just that amount. Everything looked amazing. Gave me some ideas. Ty. :) Might try those tortillas you rolled up with just black beans. :)
So glad you enjoyed my video. 😊 Thanks for watching!
This was great!
Thank you so much!
I love your pointer stick to point to your spices! This is one of the healthiest $10 challenges I've seen. Do you ever use bagged black beans? So much more for your money! Everything you made looked amazing and I would never feel deprived on that menu! Subscribing!
First of all, thanks so much for subscribing 😁 and welcome! Yes... I use a lot of dry beans, but I like to mix it up now and then and sometimes use canned beans. I believe in this challenge the canned beans were considerably less than dried and allowed me to purchase the avocado. As for the pointer stick...that was one of a set of very large chopsticks that I ordered from Amazon. They were bigger than I expected though, so I can't use them as chopsticks. 😂. Thanks again for the sub! 🥰
Just found your channel and I LOVE it!
Welcome!! 😊 So glad you are enjoying my content. 🥰
Great job. Real food!!
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed my latest video.
Just found your channel and omg 🤯 you’ve motivated me to do better! Going to watch prev posts too. Thx so much look forward to seeing more inspirational recipes. (One ?…no recipes incl fruits-too budget blowing?) 🤩
I do add bananas to quite a few of the videos and I've added watermelon to one. Fruits are very expensive so it's hard to squeeze into the budget with the extreme budget videos. Fruits, almond milk, yogurts, and MORE cheese are some of the things I miss on the budget videos. I was going to splurge on these plumcots (OMG so dang delicious) from Trader Joes in my last video, but they were already out of season when I stopped by. I purchased them a couple weeks ago and they were delicious. 😋 Thanks for watching my video 😁
Welcome. Back i missed you
Awe...thanks Faye. 😁. It's so nice to be missed and also to be appreciated. I'll try to keep them coming. 😊
these were fantastic recipes!
Yay 🎉 🥳So glad you like them! 😁🥰
breakfast burrtos/tacos are also good with leftover charro/barracho beans smooshed with the egg! potato is one of my fave fillings though. I like the walmart brand of black beans too! I like them as a bowl with avocado or guacamole, pico or salsa, some cheese... yum! I also like toast with peanut butter- more crunch satisfaction! these meals look so good! I could smell the potatoes online LOL!
Yay! I'm glad you could smell my potatoes cooking🥔 I too just love making the bowls. They are so easy to throw together and healthy also 👩🍳😋
Hi I just subscribed, I have never seen some make such creative yummy meals, I can’t wait to see more of your videos..
Thanks for subbing! And welcome to my channel! 😁
I would appreciate watching you shop for the essential things you keep on hand for spices and flavorings.
Hi Kathleen 😁Check out my video here. HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON GROCERIES. czcams.com/video/IBjv1TUg-A8/video.html
You can also refer to the list I provided in the description of that video. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
a couple of my other favorite soups - I usually the Gossner shelf stable whole Milk in these soups since it is cheaper than the milk we drink but if you have a problem with dairy you could use unsweetened Almond milk if Dollar Tree has it
Great choices! Excellent ideas, with a ton of variety. Most I liked, but I will admit, I am not into trying new foods. Im in a horrible rut. However, these were awesome meals, and I will be trying most.
l've been known to eat the same foods over and over, but I'm always pleasantly surprised when I try new recipes. Just made a delicious noodle dish this week that I'll be sharing soon. I threw it together based on items on hand and now I've been wondering why I haven't been eating it all this time 😂 It was delicious!
Can you make more of these please? This is a helpful list of cheap recipes I will be using, would like to be able to have more variety of these to use.
More to come! 👍Thanks for watching 😁🥰
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Melissa 😁🥰 I appreciate the support of my channel!
Yess girl that tamagoyaki looked so good!!!
Thank you 😁🥰🥳
So many healthy items here, love it!
Thank you so much!
I just discovered your videos a few days ago and I love them. You can save the cilantro pieces you aren't using right away by putting them in the freezer or you could try finely chopping the leftover pieces and drying them in the oven over night on the lowest temp your oven will go to. Somewhere around 180 degrees.
Hello 😁 so glad you like my videos. Welcome 👩🍳 I'm glad you are here. Great tips about the cilantro. Honestly, I never thought of drying my cilantro, which is weird because I dried all herbs from my herb garden except cilantro. I love that idea! 👍
This was super impressive!
Awe...thanks so much. 😊 Glad you liked it!
Your recipes look delicious and are very helpful as well. 🌹
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching 😊
This is so impressive. I don't need to watch my budget, but still find this fascinating. There are contents I can't have without aggravating my arthritis. The hydrogenated oils in the peanut butter, the white flour, I can't have that, but the rest was fine. I almost feel motivated to do this for the satisfaction, but burning gasoline to get to stores around me (they're not close together) seems counter productive. Your meals are amazing, though. I may have to try a modified version, lol!
Thanks so much for the complement 😊 I'm lucky that all the stores I shop at are on my way to Walmart, which isn't far. It doesn't make sense for everyone though. Thank you for watching my video 😊
great ideas, thank you!!! We make a spinach, potato, onion omelet that would fit well in this menu
Yum...that sounds like my kind of eats. 😋😁 Glad you liked my video
Yay! Someone else who uses the spatula/chopsticks combo for their tamagoyaki! ♥️
Yes!!!! 👊 This is called fusion cooking 😂
Hi Michelle, the tortiea bowl looks delishes. Thank you from Michelle in Australia
So glad you think so 😁
Great job!!
Thank you! 😁
Great meals! Going to get some seasoned black beans!
Yes!!! So good....did you see the video where I made black bean tacos with feta? OMG those were so delicious.😋 I may have to make some for lunch tomorrow. Hope you enjoy 😁
I love that you have so many ideas for vegetarians living in a non vegetarian household. I was wondering if you had ever made your own garlic salt? When I learned that it’s literally 1/3 garlic powder and 2/3 salt! So now I make my own and it is so much more inexpensive that buying it. It came out to about .30 a container( recycled the old garlic salt container) and put the rest in a giant zipper bag.
No I haven't made my own garlic salt but this is a great idea to save some money! Thanks for the tip 👍
Looks great! I kept waiting for you to do a baked potato.
Did I have any toppings in that haul? I don't think I did.
Love all your videos! You did an exceptional job and I am so proud of you! Thanks for sharing such great ideas on an insane budget.
You are so nice! Thank you so much 😁 I'm glad you liked this video and appreciate the effort that went into it.
A. Good Job
B. I wish you made a grid of days/meals so we could see the plan. Like how many days of peanut butter sandwiches. How many days you had eggs vs how many recipes used an egg or two.
I've been transitioning from $10 a day fast food to trying to grocery shop for half the amount for the week. I'm at about $50/week because Reece's and ice cream are the downfall to that.
Haha! I hear ya..we all need a treat now and then 😊 My breakfast lunch and dinner menu is listed in the contents. I need to do better at listing what is left over each week though..because I frequently have leftovers. Thank for watching my video 😁
Great ideas. TFS
You're welcome! 😊 Thanks for watching!
Watching this & thought of so much i would make with all those ing. Def my struggled childhood kicked in. Great vid
Mexican rice with those dice tomates, onion, garlic salt and that veggie season you have.
Spinach & egg sandwich
Cook your beans with the spinach add some queso fresco yum.
Hashbrowns with onions & tomatoes
I woukda def grabbed some serranos for a couple cents..Etc etc
You've got some great ideas 😊 I've been thinking I need to use more hot peppers. They are so inexpensive. Thanks for watching!
