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 like the idea of cooking the burger patties in the oven. Less grease spatter on the stove top, Yay! This is now in my mental notes, thank you! 😊
Would love to do burgers like this. Do you know the ingredients and amount. I’m unable to read description 😭 thanks Jx
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.
That sounds delicious!
That sounds delicious! I'm going to try this 🙌
I understand all the criticism you are getting with calling these "poor man meals" however I think people aren't looking at what the reality of these costs are, no one is going out to eat for less than $4 a person (even in the USA let alone Canada) which is what all these meals are. Plus all this food is good for you. I think if you put some sort of price in your title it would draw less criticism. I do really like all the inspiration myself.
You’re comparing homemade food to take out food. Take out food is ALWAYS expensive. You can’t compare it to that. We’re talking about her choosing expensive proteins and calling it “poor man’s food”. You can easily use chicken drumsticks or canned tuna as a cheap source of protein. The title is misleading.
@@yanak7159she is showing people how to make a nice meal with quality proteins for much less. Please stop finding something to be offended by.
Born and raised in the southern USA 👋 I love hearing a native Canadian use “y’all”!! For the possessive form, I usually hear “y’all’s.” So cool to see international usage!
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
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
@@cudavianki I agree but I think some people are just being bullies. Saying "how privileged of you to say- fill the blank-" like that is bad manners. People should be careful before saying something rude! It saddens me that too many young people are not taught good manners.
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.
I'm not an athlete but going to the gym 2-3 times a week (weightlifting) and if I don't consume electrolytes, I get cramps etc. It depends on your definition of an average person I guess cause I don't consider myself athletic.
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 ❤
sarah!! the burgers made my mouth water 😍 such a good idea on dividing them! thanks for the tip 🫶🏽
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.
Thanks for the great video! Fellow Canadian here and love these types of videos for inspiration!
Same!! 🇨🇦 I'm in Ontario 😊
I would love to see how your kids plates look too! Yours always looks delicious but seeing the kids is helpful too
I love your videos Sarah! Always inspired to try a new meal in my own kitchen🧡
Poor man is canned tuna.
Right? 😅
Me and my 25 cent noodles haha…ha…
@violetdiscord6179 Mac n cheese, Ramen. One recipe I heard for getting out of debt was pasta, canned or homemade cream of chicken soup, and bread crumbs or crumbled crackers on top and then baked.
LOVE when you do these videos! I've been trying to be more intentional with our budget lately 👌
I love how you cooked the burger meat! Such a good idea.
Oh just what I needed!
Absolutely loved this video! Great ideas!
Love these dinner ideas!
Loved this one, Sarah!
I loved the recipes, lots of great ideas and they all looked delicious.
Just maybe give videos like this a different name, like “healthy homemade meals”, or “meals under $20”, etc.
Problem solved and no one would be triggered. 😊
Blessings from Brazil.
"The kids think it's hilarious" is a great reason to add peanut butter instead of tahini! Hahahaha! Love this.
Everything looked delicious! Thank you so much for sharing. This gave me a lot of inspiration for meals next week. Can you tell me, how do you store your sourdough discard and for how long can you store it please? I have been making sourdough bread for about 4 months now, but do not save my discard currently.
I really enjoy this type of video!
That 14 minute In gyros meal low key looks amazing and has me starving a. BIt
I will definitely be trying your cold tomato sauce! Thank you!
It is very tasty! I was raised on it since my dad was out of work so often. We usually had chicken thighs with it since it was the cheapest protein.
Could you use the same and heat it?
That Greek salad looked amazing!
Thank you for the inspiration! Love your content ❤
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 .❤❤
Absolutely fantastic, can't wait to try these. Also, loving your YT switch to full on homemaking - you've been inspiring me for years (since 2017) and we've come into our Homemaker Mama years at the same time. Also, also, Edmund looks SOOOO like Cal from the back - precious 💛
Thank you for another amazing video my friend❤
I really enjoyed! The meals looked so yummy!
Hi Sarah 👋🏼
that red dress looks sooo comfortable. ❤
May I have the link to it if there’s any? ☺️🙏🏻
These aren't poor man meals these are just homemade meals.
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.
Great video, Sarah Therese!💝
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 😊
I made your burger buns last night and they were DELISH!
I love your videos!
Thanks for ideas! You are genius!
Great family tips made more amazing by hazel eyes and cute haircut!
Less than $1.50 per person! Way to go! This was inspiring and looked nutritious and delicious
Can’t wait to make that chicken
Thank you for share, I love your videos, could you please share with us where do you buy your apron? 11:02
where is your dress in the pasta recipe from and where is your apron from? love them!
Hi, Can you list what's goes in the chicken skewer? please..
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 agree. A better title would be...what we eat in a week. I aim for under $5 for my whole family for a cost effective meal.
$1 a person ???? How is that even possible 😅
Twice a week we do beans or lentils and rice with salsa and cheese .
It is yummy and it also allows us to spend at about the 5 dollar mark the other nights.
We have 3 adults most nights. Some weeks we have two teenagers also.
On the days we have more people we spend more obviously.
$20 a night for dinner is a splurge for us.
@@courtstenn a 1 pound bag of rice is at most 1.50.
A 1 pound bag of lentils or pintos is under 2 here where I live. A pound of cheese is 4.00 plus homemade salsa.
Even if it costs 10.00 I can feed our family of 3 to sometimes 6 and if the number of dinner eaters is lower than I have leftovers for lunches for some the next day.
@@loriburgess1866I’d love to see you make a video on those prices! I’d use your recipes too! ❤
Amaaaaaazing Sara❤❤
Did you get your cabbage discounted? I live nearby and cabbage at superstore was 7.25 yesterday so I don’t know how that meal could only come to $25… 😔
I don't know how nearby you are, but in Langley green cabbage is $1.19/lb this week. About $5 a head.
She could be shopping at a local farm stand and getting it for cheaper?
@@Ajsupermonkey Ohh. Maybe!
Pasta is a great inexpensive meal
Poor man’s meals? Peace and love Sarah but I know so many families here in Canada that would love to make their kids a $20 meal of wild caught fish…
Also it’s kind of a slap in the face to people who are actually struggling financially, who can’t afford organic blah blah and 17 different appliances
She’s out of touch of what cheap meals actually look like. I don’t remember the last time I bought fish, it’s a luxury protein nowadays.
@@violetdiscord6179 exactly lol.
$20 divided by 7 people is less than $3.
@@yanak7159 what about canned fish? That stuff is cheap and I see it all the time when I enter the community pantry.
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.
I have a family of 7, and a cheap restaurant costs at least $120+ for our whole family.
But why would she call it 'poor mans meals'? This is not.
@@cozetteoconnor1289 it’s referring to the simplicity of the food. It was referred to as low ingredient and quick meals back in the day. People still use this term for now days.
I would not consider this menu as "poor man's meals"
You look so pretty, the food looks delicious.
I know right? I always love Sarah's recipes!!
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 🙌
Ooh, I like that pink dress! 💜
What kind of rice cooker is that? It looks like the bowl is stainless steel which I haven’t seen before.
Could also use that flatbread for communion too , hahaha 😂😂
Were the chicken skewers grilled or oven broiled?
Some of these comments are way too deep 😂
peanut butter instead of tahini is interesting.
That dress ❤. Where is it from?
Love the dress
So how much are you spending bread products jeez to save you thousands. I spend no more than 10 american dollars a week on bread products and thats a stretch. There are 52 weeks in a year= 520 times to years is 1040. So maybe it has saved you a thousand but i think even that is a stretch. A loaf of bread in america is 2 bucks so say i get pita and english muffins that week each around 2 dollars i am spending 6 so 10 dollars in bread is a ton.
Groceries are wildly expensive here in Canada. A loaf of white sandwich bread can be up to $4. She is also feeding a family of 7, so immediately you’re going to be spending more than normal
It also depends on the quality of bread products you're getting. I've seen people sell sourdough loafs for $16!!
And she said over the 2 years she’s been doing it. 7 people and $4-5 loaf? Totally could be thousands
Hey Sarah would you be able to put in the calories for your website on the meals?
It's quite priviledged to say these meals are poor man's meals though.
Please acknowledge your privilege with using the title “poor man” that’s extremely insensitive to those of us actually experiencing poverty.
Just another word for cheaper meals .
All Canadians say PASTuh 😐
Yep, it's an accent
How else is it said? (Cdn and say it the way she said it 🤷♀️)
@@ashleylangley6035 Pawstuh lol
Yeah it’s their accent lol
@@laurenmichelle4253 haha okay.
But there’s no w in pasta so are we actually wrong? 🤔
How privileged of you to acknowledge all these meals as a poor man's
The first meal is about $5 per serving for four grown adults. but half of that cost was the fish. So remove the fish and add a cheaper protein or no protein and it looks better..
She also lives in Canada in one of the most expensive areas so for what she’s working with that is a good deal. You have to realize that we could make that here in America for half the cost and in US dollars.
@@SilverHawk214 you can’t call it a “poor mans meals” than. She usually uses expensive protein. It’s a luxury. And there’s no way her husband just ate one little piece of fish.
@@christinah9954 In the most expensive areas she does in a gratefully big house with a backyard, two family vehicles and a husband who works from home. She has all the time to make everything from scratch that too with 5 kids.
Poor mom's don't have that much time because they're working 2-3 jobs to put mere bread or rice in front of thier kids.
I don't wanna get into the economics of it, she could've mentioned cheap meals, easy meals but calling it poor man's while sitting in a big house in BC is insensitive.
Privileged 😮 i’m from South of France and this is sooo cheap
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.
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 ($7/lb or less) would be tilapia, rainbow trout, or catfish, but that's because they're all farmed (and that's still considered a hefty price per pound for a protein here). However, I guarantee that I can get grass-fed beef way cheaper than y'all can in BC. Just be careful discussing regional foods in the context of absolutes! What might be available for cheap in your area might not be in others.
Just change the protein ingredient to whatever is cheapest where you live. It's not science. She said she lives in Canada and these are Canadian prices and evaluations. What else do you need?
@@JaZmine147 I agree that the change (swapping protein) is pretty simple, I'm just providing context for why other people may be upset. The language she chose is pretty dismissive of what she perceives to be a untrue complaint, when it's actually a legit one for the vast majority of people. I'm certain that was unintended, it's just how it sounds -- even I kinda winced when she said that.
I just want to find the cheapest, but balanced meals available. That means vegetables and fruit, not just protein and simple carbs (rice, pasta etc). Vegetables are expensive where i live.
I’m sure there are other channels offering up what you are looking for!
Why are you adding egg to burgers?
Holds them together better and makes them more moist, highly recommend
I've always done this, you should try it. Makes it next level moist.
All these folks just blasting Sarah for calling these poor man meals need to calm down a little, it's ok guys, the world isn't ending!
Truth be told as a kid in a big family it does sound like these meals are cheap given what they are, and I appreciate the inspiration even if they aren't what the truly poor man of today would be eating.
Calling durum wheat pasta “high protein” is as much a stretch as calling these meals “poor mans”….poor dear Sarah means 20-50$ a week for meals.
Ma'am you have GOT to unfollow this lady and get a hobby this is so unhealthy for you.

I watch?
@@dreamchord4544😂🙏 love your comment.
Why do so many people not understand terminology?
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!
Research the quality of farmed fish first.
Why not call this affordable meals instead of poor man's meals? A poor man wouldn't use the oven multiple times per week, avocado, cashew nuts, sesame oil, sushi rice or rice wine vinegar! I mean, baking 2 peppers in that huge oven has to cost a fortune!
Edmonds head looks just like Calvins head looked when he was littler. Blonde, cute little boy. Tho, I can't see if he looks like him in the face, obviously. And I understand why you blurr your kids, I would too because the world is cray cray!
Can I ask you something? Have you changed your style as far as clothing? I never see you wear pants/jeans/leggings any more. I was just wondering why. You always look nice. I guess I'm just curious. If you don't want to respond, that's fine.
paa ( short o) sta
Poor? No ma'am just a meal for $20.
This entire video was extremely insensitive and shows a clear misunderstandingof the reality that most of us are actually living... from calling it "poor man's meals" and flashing prices that most of us couldn't afford, baking freshly baked bread every day when most of us are working full time jobs, inserting sponsored product mentioned that goes for $3CAD per serving... please listen to your followers and understand their struggle
All of your content is food now. Is that your focus now? Also you are literally the only person I know who says “pass-ta” and “bag-gill”. Why?
Her content is just relevant to a point where she can slide a paid ad and keep repeating it again again.
Accent wise we all say it that way here in Canada haha. I was in America a while ago and while at the grocery store someone was asking me where the bag-gulls were and I couldn’t figure out what they were asking. Keep in mind I do have auditory processing issues but haha… yeah. Here in Canada we say things differently
@@violetdiscord6179really? I stand corrected!
Look up how Italians say pasta....it's an American thing calling is POS-TA for sure
Why does it matter ? That’s just how she pronounces it . That’s how I say it too😅
$20 for a whole meal is actually alot! You can’t call it a “poor mans meal”. $5 for total yes (like rice and beans and some kind of cheap protein”. Last time you made “poor mans meals” video was a big chuck roast as a protein. That’s VERY expensive and For us I consider that as a luxury dinner. You shouldn’t title your “poor mans meals” as that, it’s very misleading. I don’t remember the last time we bought fish or salmon, it’s so expensive now, it’s a luxury.
Even for 7 people? That’s less than $3 per person.
@@rebeccaraecrenshaw4334yes! You can’t call it cheap meals. If she used chicken drumsticks for example, it would literally be $10 total or even less . Her last “poor man’s meals” video, she used a big chuck roast that was like $35 or $40 just for the meat, that’s an expensive type of protein. It’s very misleading and she’s a bit out of touch of what cheap meals look like. People that click on these videos, expect legit budget friendly meals because it’s so tough right now and than she pulls out an expensive fish that most of us can’t even buy.
It’s a fair comment, these are frugal yes but not the bare minimum.
@@rebeccaraecrenshaw4334 but at the same time she earns insanely from her RUclips, ads, Patreon, Instagram collaborations, lives in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in BC, shops local organics and most of all she's a stay at home mom with all the time in her hands to make bread, buns, pretty much everything from scratch. And THEN calling it a poor man's dinner.
Some "Poor people's" Moms Unfortunately work two three jobs just to put bread on their kids plates and then going to bed hungry themselves. Sorry but this is straight up insensitive.
Idk what world you live in. Even just beans and rice is going to be more than $5 a meal for a family of 7. She's transparent about the costs so just take it or leave it.
Hey sarah as a follower since your makeup videos, its kinda insensitive to call these poor man meals, I think you are a bit out of touch because these meals are definately privileged for most people
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.
You need to research what a poor man’s meal means. It’s nothing to do with a person being able to afford it or not, it’s a term used long ago meaning made from simple high nutritional ingredients that are healthy and quick to make.
