      Dehydrated hasbrowns, canned chicken, can cream of anything, cheese. Reconstitute hasbrowns mix everything and bake in oven for 30 mins at 350. So yummy!!! Can add any sort of veggies or other additions. Can replace hasbrowns with rice for a chicken rice bake.

      I literally shop at Dollar Tree every month for my food. And I absolutely love it. I have not found anything yet. That is unedible. Not to mention most of the brands are carried at Walmart.❤

    My DT has vegan burgers and vegan sausage, i love grinding them together, frying in olive oil for 3-5 minutes (Stirring often) low heat. Then adding some frozen pepper and onion stir-fry. Tortilla and salsa (Both at DT). Was blessed last trip with 2 cans of Pinto beans (So I made refried beans) I added some jalapeños from a jar I purchased prior at dollar tree into my beans while I was frying them. (Finely chopped).. Perfect vegan taco

      That sounds amazing! My Dollar Tree has occasionally had some vegan “meat” options. I’m glad to hear that they have them at other Dollar Trees too.

      that burger, sausage & stir-fry mix would be a good base to make a “meat”-sauce! they also have a really good onion, parsley, celery frozen mix as well & you could add mushrooms if you’re a fan 😋

    I've eaten cheap most of my adult life. I have made a Buffalo Chicken Ramen. I take a packet of Chicken Ramen, a packet of the Buffalo Chicken that comes in the foil packs, a half cup of Frozen mixed veggies and a hand full of shredded cheese, sometimes I'll use Sharp Cheddar and sometimes I'll use Pepper Jack, depends on my mood. You cook the Ramen, cook the mixed veggies in a bowl of water in the microwave for 2 and half minutes then drain the water off the veggies and add the Buffalo chicken to the mixed veggies and heat for another 30 seconds to finish cooking the veggies and to warm the chicken then drain the water from the Ramen add the Seasoning packet then add it all together and throw a handfull of cheese on top. It's a quick easy meal that only takes about 10 minutes total to make plus it's good and fills you up.

    Thank you for the great ideas. My brother can't eat gravy so I have to use soups like french onion or cheese soup simply for flavor. No thinking agent. I truly live a sausage gravy & biscuit and for dollar tree deals I could do that.

      Hi Christy!
      I don’t normally shop at Dollar Tree. I sometimes shop there for budget videos or to make Dollar Tree content though. If you watch my other videos you’ll see I shop around a lot to find the best deals or I’ll shop at WinCo since we don’t have any big Walmarts near me. Hope you have a great day! 😊

    Not trying to be snarky but the picture you show of your husband he is pretty healthy so he thin now cause this is definitely not enough food in my opinion to feed family of 3 and I’m assuming your child is a toddler or 4/5? Again not trying to be snarky just curious.

    • @FrugalLifeThriftyWife
      @FrugalLifeThriftyWife  Год назад +5

      These ideas are just some dinner ideas that you could make from the Dollar Tree. We ate other food for breakfast, lunch or snacks throughout the day and had these for dinner 😊. My toddler is also 2, so she doesn’t eat as much as an older child.

    • @brandonwilson5218
      @brandonwilson5218 Год назад +12

      As the husband in question, no offense taken though I’ll clarify your observation.
      I’m “thin” because I choose to be, to the best of my ability. The portioning is my decision and not a result of my wife not feeding her poor starving husband. 😅 The portions that we make are perfect for our family (and sometimes is actually too much) and may not be perfect for other families, especially those with larger families.
