Came over from TikTok! So excited to see no-heat lunches. I need ideas for stuff to take with me for my 9-5 that doesn't require socializing with my coworkers while waiting to use the gross microwave. Thanks for sharing!
Love your ideas. I’ll say I have been packing lunch for my son lunch from Kindergarten through 8th grade…he is now 18. But when he was young…I packed fruit…and it came back not eating. So don’t feel bad.
Going to do this lunch plan for 2 Seniors being it involves frozen pizza which I love ,single cookie packs which are portion controlled and a fruit cup so we stay regular.😊
Thank you for your videos. It is refreshing to see someone as young as you teaching others about budgeting and economizing. Lots of young people have no idea how to meal plan and budget.
I love those cookies. These are such good ideas. I've been bingeing your videos. My fiance just got out of the hospital and will be on disability for quite a while. We've always tried to budget but now will have to even more so these videos are so helpful. Thank you!!!
I would suggest getting bagels w/marinara and mozz from dollar tree w/ any toppings of your choice and heating homemade bagel bites and cutting them up when cooled. A bit healthier than the premade pizzas. Or doing a pizza quesadilla and cutting that up when it's cooled.
Wow! Geeze the things you learn on the internet. Now I need to go shopping. I'll have to edit this a bit but I think this will work just fine. Thank you for the video 🙂
@@DollarTreeDinners may I ask you a question? If I film my ideas for my channel with my edits is that ok? Would I need anything from you to do that? Thank you for taking the time to read this and hope you have a wonderful day 🙂
@@DollarTreeDinners awww....thank you very much. I'm sure the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) community will enjoy some of these ideas. Most foods you make are simple and should be a huge help to those on my channel. Once again I appreciate it and so does my community 😁
Thank you so much for this video! I hope you'll have this as a continuing series 🙏 I definitely needed this for lunches to take with me to college, but rockin on a budget and without access to a microwave lol
I love your TT videos! These give you time to be more detailed and let your amazing personality shine through!!! Thank you for what you’re doing to help people!!!! ❤❤❤
@@DollarTreeDinnersyou absolutely have a wonderful, very pleasant, inviting, warm & accepting, sweet personality. Your videos are wonderful and wholesome!
Perfect idea! You gave me an idea about the olives, I’ll throw some pepperoni or banana peppers in with olives, and if I’m feeling more veggies, I’ll grab some spring mix to throw on top with dressing on the side just to say I ate a green veggie that day, bc most days I eat so fast, I’m starving at lunch and make the wrong choice of grabbing a fast food burger when that pizza would be wayyyy more fun & delish and I’d save time/gas money!! Thank you❤now I’m craving pizza & olives!!! 🍕 🫒 ❤
For me frozen pizza needs a toaster oven. It gets hard in the microwave. You can reheat them in the stove. They have a&W root beer packets that you can add to club soda for fizz and ginger ale
I've had those cookies a couple of times and the orange ones and strawberry ones are my faves. I would've loved the banana ones except that they were on chocolate cookies (which I hate lol 😂).
when my boys were younger (teens) they would kill a 10pk of those pizzas in a couple day, I think they were .75ea back then., They would cook 2 @ a time like a pizza sandwich ala Tony Manero (sat night fever) or microwave them and roll them up.. I still do the sandwich thing with added toppings like more cheese, jalapenos, pepperoni etc.. Yes I do it with real pizza as well..lool... Im sure my younger gbrats would love a lunch like this but then they'd love viennas and cheese sticks also
Haha I have definitely done the pizza sandwich before. 0.75 pizzas, those were the days. I was at food lion the other day and those cheap Totinos party pizzas were $2 each now
Good luck- you're already trying your best and it shows. Sometimes a different perspective helps. A lot of processed food for a child who's physiology is in accelerated growth and development. This means their cells need PREMIUM QUALITY, BIO-AVAILABLE nutrients and minerals. They need foods in clean and as pure as possible states. This means complex carbs, lean proteins, vegetables and fruits- WHOLE FOODS. Kids have a baseline palette at this stage of life - meaning their taste buds and food choices may be shaped by being used to high quality foods from the start. This means as an adult - they don't have to go on diets, will crave healthier foods and be able to taste natural flavours. Processed food being applied from childhood - does the reverse- it starts them on a road to imbalanced biochemistry, behavioural and emotional symptoms and eating disorders stemming from a poor relationship with food. You could massively decrease chances of these in your kids as they grow - just by providing and habituating their palette for healthier foods. Sure, I'm all for creative ways to save money - but child nutrition is not a place to cut costs. In fact you could SAVE MONEY - by cooking a pot of pasta and veggies, or grains, potatoes and quality proteins. Then prep containers. You would save money because with these food in this video - you're just paying for convenience packaging AND POOR NUTRITION. Not a great cost benefit equation is it? Save money elsewhere and INVEST in good foods for your kids to give them the best head start. Food is really medicine. Read up on kids nutrition. Not only will your kids reap the biological benefits but also respect your self education for their good.

Hope you try it! I’ve been having them for lunch and it’s been so fun
What is her name on TikTok? I found her through here, I just installed TikTok.
@@thenubalicious Dollar Tree Dinner
The gross microwave that barely heats up anything correctly and the water cooler that is usually empty 😝
Dude. Yeees
Love your ideas. I’ll say I have been packing lunch for my son lunch from Kindergarten through 8th grade…he is now 18. But when he was young…I packed fruit…and it came back not eating. So don’t feel bad.

My dollar tree has fruit pouches in a 3pk, and I'm a big baby so I love them.
I love those too
Please, keep doing these. I’m a home health nurse. This helps! 💚
Thank you for your videos. It is refreshing to see someone as young as you teaching others about budgeting and economizing. Lots of young people have no idea how to meal plan and budget.
YES
I love the meal ideas .I am disabled ♿ and this will help me out. God bless you and all here.❤➕ ❤

God bless her speedy recovery! 🥰
I never thought about cook a frozen pizza and packing for lunches. Also, the olives are a great touch!
I would suggest getting bagels w/marinara and mozz from dollar tree w/ any toppings of your choice and heating homemade bagel bites and cutting them up when cooled. A bit healthier than the premade pizzas. Or doing a pizza quesadilla and cutting that up when it's cooled.
The packs of mini cookies are the best value ever! Plus: you get an assortment of flavors!
Wow! Geeze the things you learn on the internet. Now I need to go shopping. I'll have to edit this a bit but I think this will work just fine. Thank you for the video 🙂
Haha I hope you like it! I just had one and it was great! ❤️
@@DollarTreeDinners I will keep you posted on this
@@DollarTreeDinners may I ask you a question? If I film my ideas for my channel with my edits is that ok? Would I need anything from you to do that? Thank you for taking the time to read this and hope you have a wonderful day 🙂

I appreciate the honesty with the mangos 😉 And I love your meal ideas! (I loved the vanilla creme flavor too) 😋
Mangos are bleh 😂😀😂 I don’t like them fresh or canned
My daughter takes the minees cookies every day for snack! Her fav!
I love your TT videos! These give you time to be more detailed and let your amazing personality shine through!!! Thank you for what you’re doing to help people!!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you! I don’t feel like I have much of a personality sometimes 😅😂
@@DollarTreeDinnersyou absolutely have a wonderful, very pleasant, inviting, warm & accepting, sweet personality. Your videos are wonderful and wholesome!
I work from home too, but even then I definitely don’t have that balanced of a meal for lunch 😂. Great video as always.
I can relate, most days I just scrounge around like a chipmunk 😂
Chef’s privilege is what I call stuff like the pizza edges u cut off!!😊
Very clever ideas. You did great.
Perfect idea!

You sincerely never cease to amaze me!
I used to give out the Minees for Halloween candy. They aren't bad cookies, too.
I love your ideas! Thanks so much. 😊
great too that leaving the fruit no utensils are needed

This is such a fun little lunch!
Carb lovers unite!!
Don't worry about those internet trolls you just do you
So smart!
It would be cool if you got a corcle cookie cutter and made the little bites! Still a cool lunch thoigh. Great job!
Would be cute but what about all the pizza you don't use in a circle? It's a waste.
Inspiration!!!
I my self do not like cold pizza but good for kids
Thk u for the kids meal prep 😂
The cookies were included last week so are freebies this week😅
hi how are you
Maybe undercook the pizza a little so it isn't so hard
hard to hear some of your videos
Storing pizza in the fridge for five days reeks of yuck. Wouldn't consider etible.
Sound not good
Celeste pizzas are gross...try Walmarts version.
Those are huge lunches. I would only be able to eat half

An excellent guide on how to shorten your miserable life
WTH?
Lol..
I would never buy food from DT all their food is expired they don't rotate their food products like supermarkets do 👎
Maybe yours doesn’t ours does and I have found expired things in the shelf at Walmart. Dollar tree rules.
You would if you lived in a food desert. Many Americans live in food deserts and Dollar Tree is their only option.
This all not 10 dollars, I've spent over $150 at a local safeway for healthy foods for my daughter for 1 week and half for school lunches
You don't sound very smart
