110 Meals for $75 | Fast and EASY Budget Friendly Meals | Emergency Grocery Budget Meal Plan

- I used about $75 for this meal plan and I was able to make over 110 meals that lasted us about 2 weeks. I made 7 Breakfast ideas and 9 dinners ideas. Some of these recipes make several servings and can be frozen for later.
I highly recommend looking for the least expensive grocery store near you, like Walmart or Aldi. I currently shop at Aldi, as it’s the cheapest option near me, but be sure to compare prices before shopping by using the stores’ app and searching for the products you need.

I have watched absolutely loads of channels offering budget meal ideas but this is the best by far. Most of the others buy canned refried beans, or tortilla chips, soft tortillas etc but you show how to make it all, so no nasty chemicals and preservatives. Real cooking from scratch. Thank you so much.
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I admit that I’ve used canned beans and tortilla chips for lots of things but when it comes to really sticking to a budget, making thing from scratch makes a huge difference. And I definitely LOVE that I’m avoiding the preservatives and unnecessary chemicals when I make things from scratch 😄 I want to do that as often as possible!
I have to agree with this comment. I’m new here but I’m impressed. I usually end up watching these videos for entertainment for the same reasons stated above but with your video I’ve gotten several new recipes and tips. Thank you for sharing
@@shacheb I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you so much for watching! I hope you love the recipes 😊
Thank You for showing a new generation how to cook reasonably priced, healthy dinners instead of eating out so much. Also, with the price of groceries everyone can benefit from your recipes!
Thank you so much! 😊
This is honestly one of the best videos I’ve seen. Thank you.
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Agreed!
Wow!!! I am really surprised at how you made that many meals with less than $75.00. Best ideas I’ve seen for budget friendly family meals. Thank you!
You’re welcome! I hope you love the recipes! 😊 Thank you so much for watching!
I just want to thank you because you have saved us so much money on groceries. Your videos are by far the best I've seen on budget meals and they're tasty!
Yay! I’m so glad to hear that! ☺️ And thank you so much!
I’m a fan of budget cooking videos and have seen hours of footage over the years - your ideas, execution and pace are the best, and you even give measurements and recipes on your blog for free! Please keep going and get the bazillion of subscribers you deserve!! Fellow Aldi fan from Southern California :)
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! ☺️ I truly appreciate that!
I'm surprised you don't have more followers this video is absolutely amazing. Love all the meals and stretching the budget.
Wow! Thank you so much!! And thank you for watching 😊 I hope you love the recipes!
I am blown away by how much food you made and the variety. Thank you 😮
You’re welcome! 😊 I hope you love the recipes!
Wow, this is the best video I've seen in a long time! I love how you make things from scratch! I feel like that's how you've truly stretched your dollar.
Thank you so much! You’re absolutely right. I tried to think of all the different ways I could use each ingredient completely so I could really stretch everything. I hope you love the recipes!
Great video! I love that you purchased the sugar, flour and butter! So many “budget” videos call those things a pantry staple. I suggest that if you are on a budget you buy whole milk. You can add some water to it to extend it. 👏
Ooooh!! Great idea! I love that! Thank you for the suggestion. I’m always looking for more ideas to save 😊
Listen! I've watched so many of these budget video's and this is by far the very best one I've seen! You are not using any processed ingredients and make everything from scratch! And girl! I have NEVER seen anyone make bagels like that! I will most definitely be trying that out for sure! I love the variety of meals you had also. I haven't seen others make what you did, yay! Thank you so much for sharing and buying EVERYTHING that you would need at the beginning, no pantry staples, except the seasonings! I'm going to go binge your other video's now and you have a new subscriber! Thank you for sharing and please keep the content coming! Cheers! 😘🤗
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed watching! I’ll be challenging myself to do something similar to this soon where I buy ALL of the ingredients again. I’m using up what I have on hand and I’ll have a few other budget-friendly meal plans in the meantime!
Those bagels are SO good! I’ve made them several times now and I just love how they turn out! If you try them, let me know what you think! 😄
How am I just finding you? You have such a great ability to stretch that dollar! Your recipe selection is outstanding! Keep going girl, you are going to start growing and will have a strong following! I know I’m going to subscribe
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I hope you love the recipes and thank you for watching 😊
I LOVE that you make everything from scratch. I am always looking for yummy meals and I usually make everything from scratch myself, so seeing someone else doing it as well is so awesome ! Thank you for your awesome videos, I can’t wait to try some of these recipes!
Thank you so much!! 😊 I hope you love the recipes! I try to make as much from scratch as possible, although I do buy some premade things too 😅
even with the price difference your video is amazing and gave me alot of ideas
Thank you so much! I hope you love the recipes 😊
You can sour your milk for your biscuits with a tsp-tblspoon of vinegar. Gives them better lift.
Thank you! I’ll try that! 😊
I also use lemon juice at one tablespoon per cup of milk. I don’t buy buttermilk anymore.
Great ideas and shopping❤
Thank you so much! 😄
Awesome meal planning- wow!!! 🥰

This is one of the BEST budget meal videos I've ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing... off to binge your page. :)
Thank you so much!! I’ll have more of these budget meal plans soon too! 😊
This content... 🙌YES🙌
Thank you!! 😊
Hi Laura! So glad I ran into your video-- it's fantastic. I thought it would be like the average ones online where the meals would lack flavor, but the recipes are those you'd want to make. But my surprise was watching you create nacho chips and homemade syrup! It made me desire pancakes for dinner tonight!! Thank you so much for your post. And.. you have great hair. Have a wonderful day!😮
Thank you so much for all your kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed my video 😊 That syrup is SO good! I’ve never gone through syrup so fast in my life 😂 I hope you enjoy all the recipes as much as we did and thank you so much for watching!
First time viewer. Thank you so much for this video!
You’re welcome ☺️ Thank you for watching!
This video was incredible! New sub! I will binge on these videos this weekend! I'm going scorched earth to pay off debt and save for a house. This was an absolutely amazing spread for that amount of money spent! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I hope you love the recipes! 😊 I’m working on more that should be ready soon too. That’s amazing that you’re saving for a house!
Would love to see you try this again with the food prices having gone up so much in the last few months. Great job!
Thank you! I just posted one a couple weeks ago that includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for 2 weeks! 😊 ruclips.net/video/cL3pGpBxsy8/видео.htmlsi=748QRtmEXTAEB8L0
This one was amazing!! Loved it great meal ideas. Loved the scratch recipes.
Thank you so much!! 😊
@@LauraLegge you are so welcome 😁 I love watching your channel
@@sheliapeters2082 thank you! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it!
That bagel recipe is the exact one I use for flatbread. We use the flatbread with curry or we make mini pizzas with them
Oooh!! I’ll have to try that! Thank you so much for sharing!
You and I have a lot of same ideas…only thing since I have LA roots…I cook my beans( red beans) with onion, garlic, Cajun seasoning and smoked sausage. Then serve them over rice with hot peppers on the side. Also, I make a broccoli cheese soup out of my broccoli, then I use any leftover soup to put on baked potatoes…top with some canned fried onions( not only for green bean casserole! Lol), served as a meal. We also have oven fries served with any brown gravy over them as a meal that I save from a pot roast or pork roast…that has bits of the meat that fell apart.
Oh wow!! Thank you so much for all your awesome recipe ideas! I can’t wait to try them! I’ve never thought to put broccoli cheddar on a potato before or brown gravy on fries. Yum!!
To get a little more budget out of your dairy you can always buy full fat/whole milk and just add your own water to it if you want it. That way your not paying for the water and it can stretch a bit more. Also full fat can help feel full longer and bulk up what your eating so that helps too, even without adding any water. 😊
I absolutely LOVE that!! Thank you for the tip! 😊
Love that everything is from scratch! I always try to reverse meal plan / use what I have in the pantry first and then purchase only what I need for recipes which definitely has been helping cut costs. I also try to shop at Aldi when I can but all are located about 1/2 hour way so it’s not always super convenient - but definitely is cheaper there. For sure interested in trying these meal plans and seeing how much it costs with reverse meal planning and shopping at Aldi. Great ideas!
Thank you so much!! I absolutely LOVE that! That’s exactly what I do each week (when I’m not filming a full meal plan 😅). I love to use what I have on hand and make substitutions anywhere I can, in order to avoid buying unnecessarily. I hope you love the recipes!
Watkins has a good maple extract for the diy syrup!
I do some oatmeal in chicken stock with shredded chicken, Italian seasoning and topped with Parmesan cheese for quick lunches whenever there's shredded chicken around.
Oooh yum! What a great idea! Thank you for sharing your recipe!
I think this is the best budget meal plan video I've seen! All from scratch, all delicious. Aside from that I'm from Europe and I'm always interested to see what people in the US eat 😊 keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate that! I have lots more of these videos planned too 😊 I cook and eat almost everything 😂 I’m not sure if everyone else cooks this way here haha
@@LauraLegge Thanks for replying, and me too! I cook bread and everything from scratch, but many people of my (younger) generation don't know the 'tricks' of our grandparents and buy things ready made/frozen.
@@user-om2bw1cj1r that’s so true! I’m still learning new things every day about making things from scratch! I still buy some ready made items but I’ve reduced that quite a bit over the last few years and I’m loving it! 😊
Really good video, Laura. I can’t get into canned vegetables. Too much sodium. But I can see how it is easier. The chicken or beef bouillon cubes are a lot cheaper than boxed broth & pretty easy to use.
That’s a great tip! I’ll have to pick up some bouillon cubes next time I head to the store. I also don’t usually use canned food due to the sodium but occasionally I’ll use them for the added flavor 😋
Use frozen vegetables instead of canned.
@@sharonfarnsworth3325 I definitely prefer frozen or fresh 😄
Great content for families looking for budget meals. Lots of inspiration here.
Can't wait to make the seasoned/chili beans. I buy a lot of those and this should save me a lot of money. I think I'm going to try in the instant pot today. Have you tried a mix of different beans.? I was thinking pinto, black and northern.
I haven’t tried it but I think it would work great! I’ve cooked all three separately and they all have the same cooking time from my experience. I would love to know how it goes! I hope you love the recipe for the chili beans too! 😊
@@LauraLegge It worked perfect for black and pinto beans; I had ran out of Northern beans. I put about the equivalent of one bag of beans (NOT soaked) in the instant pot with six cups of water. I added all of the seasonings you mentioned and some Better than Bouillon. At first I cooked it for 25 minutes with a natural release. They weren't quite done. So I added 10 more minutes and did a quick release. I unplugged my instant pot and left the house to do errands. I came back to find they were just right. I thought I would have to reduce the liquid.
@@shortgirl65 wonderful!! Thank you for updating me! I can’t wait to try making them in the instant pot soon. That’ll save me a lot of time!
Those are really great prices, i don't think my aldi is that cheap! But i will definitely go and check!
This Aldi just opened back in December so I’m not sure if they’re trying to keep their prices super low to compete with the neighboring stores but I’m loving it! 😊
The recipe’s look good but I don’t use flour or rice and you don’t mention the measurements
@@kellymcfalls1458 all of the measurements are in the full recipes on my blog to make it easy 😊 you can substitute anything you like instead of things you can’t eat. I hope you love the recipes!
Some prices are cheaper at Walmart.
Where did you shop at? Those were really great prices. Was this Aldi? Loved this video. I am now a new subscribe. Thank you for the great ideas on how to stretch the budget.
Yes! I shopped at Aldi! Their prices are much better than other stores around us. Thank you so much for subscribing and commenting 😊 I hope you love the recipes!
Love your Spirit, and truly frugal cooking style, it would be helpful to know what store you shopped at. Confused by the use of Greek yogurt in place of sour cream both as ingredient and cost but I suppose it works.
Thank you so much! I shopped at Aldi for the groceries in this video. I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream because it’s a little bit more versatile, specifically for the breakfasts I had in mind, and ends up being the same price as the sour cream at my store 😄
God bless you. I have a 19 yr old and I spend over a hundred every week on food when he’s home from school.
It’s definitely a challenge these days! The prices for groceries are so high at most grocery stores near me.
@@LauraLegge
Thank so much for all your recipes. It really helps a lot
@@Jojodancer20100 you’re welcome! 😊 I hope you love them!
So great love all the ideas!! Can't wait to try the bagels. BUT DID I MISS SOMETHING... you keep saying left over broccoli but I went back through the video to try and see where you orginally used it? I can't seem to find it. A bit confused?😂
Haha no worries! I only had a couple pieces of leftover broccoli from what my kids didn’t eat and from when my husband didn’t end up eating one of the meals I already prepared 😅 so there shouldn’t be any leftover broccoli if it gets eaten with the first meal it’s prepared with but if you have any leftover, you can definitely use it! 😊
Thanks so much for the ideas. Does the syrup have any type of shelf life? Can it be refrigerated or kept in the pantry or does it need to be used immediately? Thanks!
I recommend refrigerating it due to the unsalted butter and I would say it could last up to a month. It’ll separate in the refrigerator so just be sure to stir it before serving 😄
I love your nonstick surface stovetop pans. Could you say what the brand is? Thanks for a great video!
I use a few different pans. I usually use my Awesome Pan from Aldi. It’s rare to find them in their value aisle but I believe mine was around $25! I also use my Lodge 6qt Dutch Oven and I occasionally use a T-Fal skillet I got from Costco ages ago (that’s what I used for the tortillas). I also have a Lodge Cast Iron skillet that I used for the refried beans 😄 I have more but those are the main pans/pots I use right now haha. I have some links in my description of my favorites, if you need them!
I like that you use bananas a lot for your breakfasts. I love bananas. I have to limit how many I eat because of digestive issues, but man are they a treat! Also, you have a very nice ring set (off-topic, I know, but just wanted to compliment you on that). Your husband obviously values you very much. I turn 35 today and still have no husband because having Asperger's (which can be both a gift and a burden at the same time) and also mental health issues, it can make dating complicated for me. But I'm still praying God brings me a good man soon (before my fertility dies) who values me despite my differences.
Those bagels look so easy and my family goes through like 3 packages of bagels a week, I'm definitely going to try this, if they like them it will save me so much $, do you ever freeze them? do they come out well?
Yes! I sliced them and froze them and they were great straight from the freezer to the toaster! I hope you love them!
Hello, I loved your video. It was wonderful. I just had a quick question, in the beginning of the video you have a book that you use, looks like you were putting your grocery list on there and maybe your meals for that day I was just curious where you got that? Thank you 😊
Thank you so much! I made that meal planner/organizer and you can get it on Amazon for less than $10 😄 here’s the link for you and thank you so much for watching!

Thank you so much. I am soooo going to order this. It’s always nice to have things a little bit easier. 😁
@@SimplePancke absolutely! I hope you love it! 😊
Rice cooked in chicken broth and frozen mixed vegetables. Add a can of chicken or leftover chicken. Serve.
Yum! That sounds so delicious and so easy! Thank you!
You are so pretty! My 1st thought
Thank you so much 😊
Love your ideas. Just curious, is there a reason you often choose a package from further back on the shelf when you are shopping, or is that just a coincidence?
I worked in food for a really long time and in my experience, the ones in the front were more likely to drop on the floor, be touched a ton, and not be as cold (if refrigerated), which meant it wouldn’t last as long once I got it home. It’s mainly a habit now 😅
@@LauraLegge Good points🤔 I might be shopping differently from now on...
I’m envious that your Aldi sells loose onions. Mine only has sacks of them so I have to get single onions elsewhere.
Aww darn 😰 I hope yours sell them individually soon!
How’s the taste of the breakfast sausage that you bought in today’s video?
It was delicious! I’ve bought it a couple times before and it was delicious each time. So far, I’ve used it for lasagna, breakfast casserole, sausage with pasta, and breakfast burritos and it was great each time 😄
Do you have a shopping list, you will share?? 😊
Yes! It’s on my blog ☺️ The link is in the description for you
With the tortillas is it all purpose or self rising flour please? It doesn’t say on your blog either
It’s just all-purpose flour 😄
Baking soda will help your pancakes brown more nicely.
Thank you so much! I’ll try that 😊
Does the membership give exact measurement for recipes?
All of the recipes have exact measurements on my blog 😄 wholeandhappyliving.com/2023/07/09/110-meals-for-75-a-budget-friendly-meal-plan/
Let us know the amount of flour how muck baking soda etc please love your videos thanks make muffins bagels biscuits just neef a good bread 🍞 recipe. Please give me your bread recipe thanks ❤😊
Here’s the recipe for you! I make it all the time and it’s my favorite ☺️ I also have it in the blog post
2-Hour No Knead Bread
Ingredients
* 3 1/4 cups (425 grams) all-purpose flour
* 2 tsp Fine Sea Salt
* 1 tsp Honey or Sugar
* 1 packet Instant Fast Acting Dry Yeast
* 1 1/2 cups Warm Water (105°-110°F)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, honey or sugar, and yeast. Add warm water (use thermometer to make sure water is between 105-110° F before adding) and mix together with a wooden spoon or spatula.
2. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
3. Remove plastic wrap and turn out dough onto a well flouted surface. Fold the edges over until the dough feels a little tighter and holds its shape.
4. Lightly flour the top of the dough and then transfer to parchment paper, smooth side up. Cover loosely with plastic wrap as the oven preheats.
5. Place a Dutch oven with the lid into the oven and preheat the oven to 425° F. (Make sure your Dutch oven and lid are safe for the oven before doing this)
6. Once the oven has preheated, CAREFULLY remove the Dutch oven (it will be extremely hot!!) and place the dough, along with the parchment paper, inside the Dutch oven. Cover with the lid and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
7. Then carefully remove the lid and bake, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes, or until the bread reaches your desired level of doneness (as light or dark as you like).
8. Remove from the oven and carefully lift out of the Dutch oven and place on a cooling rack for at least 20-30 minutes before serving. (This step is extremely important to allow the bread to finish cooking, otherwise the bread will be doughy still in the middle.)
Which grocery store is this? Everything is so cheap. I need to know if they have one in Washington
This is Aldi! It’s been wonderful with their prices 😊
Where store are you shopping and what state? Is this for one person?
This is for 4 people and I’m shopping at Aldi in Southern California 😃
I am surprised by how cheap the prices are. In Australia, our food is so much higher prices
I’ve heard that! I hope your prices come down a bit! Ours are generally much higher but this store has some really incredible prices. I’m crossing my fingers that they keep the prices low!
Beans cook in instant pot in 40 minutes
I’ll have to try that! ☺️
Eggs for $1.49!! $5 in Canada! And our money is 70 cents to your dollar!
Corn tortillas a and tostadas are easier to make than flour try that on another video 😊
Oooh! I’ll try that! Thank you so much for the suggestion! 😄
What store did you go to???
This is Aldi! They have some pretty awesome prices!
i don't know where you shop but where I am those prices are half of what we pay
Oh wow! I’ve been shopping at Aldi and our Walmart has similar prices. I’m in Southern California
This is a really good video for a family but I'm a single person and I don't want to eat that many meals of the same thing. I haven't seen many videos for one person. Any ideas ?
The beans freeze really well in small portions! I’ll see what I can come up with for a video idea for meals for one person 😄
@@LauraLeggeThis video came up as a recommendation and I love it. I just became a subscriber and would love to see meals for single people too. Thank you for these ideas.
@@sueh2928 ok! I’ll work on that! Thank you so much for watching 😊
@@LauraLegge Thank you!
Can you freeze sone portions to also save you from cooking later?
What store are you shopping? Much cheaper prices than in my area in Texas.
I usually shop at my local Aldi here in California. Our Walmart has similar prices too 😄
Wow! That is great...our prices are a little higher here-we don't have an Aldi close to us. But your video is great and has really good ideas and money saving recipes. I will be following :)@@LauraLegge
@@user-pz2xc1hp2n thank you so much! 😊
So some people claim that the word NACHO is actually the chemical formula used to make Nacho cheese sauce, sodium carbon hydrogen oxygen, otherwise known as sodium citrate. Whether or not it is the true origin of the word, sodium citrate is a convenient and easy way to make a cheese sauce. Sodium citrate is an emulsifier, or thickener. It can be easily made at home with some lemon juice and baking soda. So if other ingredients are running low or someone is avoiding gluten, or you just want a “fake” cheese sauce like you can get on the street, sodium citrate is a great alternative. In all fairness, I am not sure what chemical ordering system would result in these elements spelling NACHO, but it sure is a memorable coincidence, and a great kitchen shortcut.
Oh wow! I had no idea! Thank you so much for sharing that!
Nice rolls with holes.
Thanks! 😄
Awesome where are you shopping ? Everything here is 3 x price...
Thank you! This is Aldi! They opened one near us back in December and it’s been amazing! Walmart has similar prices too. 😊
Aldi
Yes 😊
I just can't eat cold oatmeal.
I completely understand!
Am I missing something?? I didn't see you add any meat to the grocery cart.
For meats, I picked up Kielbasa, 2 pounds of ground turkey, and 1 pound of pork sausage 😃
@@LauraLegge oh okay that's why I said did I miss something. Everything looks so good. thanks though
@@togo8968 you’re welcome ☺️
I would rather mix in one container saves labor and water.

@@LauraLegge prices are pretty much the same everywhere but Walmart is prob the cheapest next to Costco! Best we can do is buy in bulk. The villages that don’t have roads (plane only) pay like 4x as much as normal states-$10 for a gallon of milk, $15 for a pint of Ben and Jerry’s. Idk how they do it.
@@WomanTakenBytheWind oh wow! Those are some crazy prices!!
voiceover and visuals are not in sync I think.
I’ll work on that! Thank you for letting me know 😊
I disagree.Everything was fine.
This was great but occasionally you speak a little too fast.
Thank you! I’ll work on slowing down. Thank you for letting me know 🙂
The playback speed can be adjusted by selecting the settings cog on the top of the video, and that will slow it down! 😊
