Id much rather have an "unhealthy" meal than an empty tummy, i think your doing a great job Tamara xxx
At one time I was a single mom of one. I would cook for 2 meals in one. We ate two nights off one cooking. I made her breakfast everyday. Packed her a lunch. We both ate dinner together. My budget was $25 a week for 21 meals including the cheapest coffee I could find. I only bought coffee once a month. God looked after us. We never went hungry. Of course life is better now that I have a bigger family. I will never be able to get over planning on a budget. It's just how I am. You are so right about spices changes the flavor. Thank you for all your ideas and meal plans.
Please don’t pay any attention to those who want to complain about your choice of meals. You are trying to help others who may not be able to get healthy.
A hungry stomach doesn’t care if it’s healthy or not. You know your family isn’t going hungry.
Thank you for the videos. Love them.
Hi Tamara. This was great! I think that your meals are pretty balanced as far as nutrition. Whoever is criticizing must never have had to struggle to feed their family. I don’t know any other way to explain it 🤷🏽♀️ I think that you are such an inspiration 💕
I
I like these quick and easy fecipes.
I really think it depends on where you live. We have some vegetables that are still pretty cheap but others have doubled or more. Also depends on what people in the house will eat-I’d rather buy a pack of carrots or something than a box of noodles or canned veg for the same price but not everyone can do that based on preferences and variety of prices where you live.
Well said!
@@deniehowie1499 Thanks 😊
You are so right Miss LaVerne. Thank you for saying that.
YOU GO GIRL! Thank you Tamara and remember for everyone with a snide comment, there are 10 people or families you have helped. I wonder 🤔how many they have helped? We all are working hard to keep our families fed, and you young lady are helping. God bless you and please keep up the good work.
Very well said!!
I don’t think everyone has dealt with food insecurity, and they lack perspective concerning the necessity of simple, inexpensive meals. These are all recipes we’d eat happily.😊💜
All the meals look amazing! I don’t think they’re junk/unhealthy at all. Some folks don’t realize that for some people, fresh produce and things like that are a luxury that they can’t afford. I think all the meals that you’ve prepared are awesome 😊 thanks for sharing!
Just remember everything frozen was fresh.
These are such a great combination of budget meals! I have one for you that I made when my girls were young - 2 boxes macaroni & cheese, 2 cans of tuna & a can of peas!
Yep, I do that too. I add tuna to macaroni salad, or I add canned salmon to mashed potatoes and make potato pancakes. Stretch the food, try not to go to bed hungry. It's a struggle.
Thank you from all of us who are struggling!!!
A full belly is better than an empty one...great ideas.
Meals are a blessing, no matter what they are made of and anything cooked with love is the perfect blend of nourishment and good health. 😊 I am a new subscriber and l want to tell you how much l enjoy your channel Tamara! I love these meal ideas. Thank you for taking the time to put this together!!
Welcome! 🤗 thanks so much!
I agree with you on the chicken or beef bouillon cubes or powders. I was at Walmart earlier & needed both. In the gravy section packs of the bouillon cubes were more than $2 for a small pack. I went & checked the ethnic foods aisle & the same size Goya packs were.98¢.
Yeah I got those too,way cheaper than buying boxes of broth. Ours here are about $1 on sale but that’s 1-2 uses versus the 20 or so you get from powder & cubes where you just add water.
to get ground beef i buy the pre patted burgers in the fresh meat section at walmart. 8 patties for under 9.00. i use them in meals like spaghetti, burger helper, burger stew, s.o.s. etc i split into 4 meals 2 patties each..
I would have never thought to do this! Great idea
I have started doing that also, I sometimes add a handful of cooked lentils to it to stretch it even more. Husband hasn't noticed anything.
I agree with you 100% about feeding your family. When I was a little girl we didn't have much money but we always had food to eat even if it was a mayo and tomato sandwich. Thank you so very much for sharing these kinds of videos because they will help struggling families
I eat mayo and tomato sandwich with a house full of food.. delicious
I love how easy the meals are to put together. Sometimes after a hard days at work it really helps to have a super-simple recipe to follow. Thanks.
Love this series! I have most of these items stocked in my pantry and fridge right now. I love how you really look out for everyone and each individual budget.
I use the "hot dog sauce" from Walmart in chili Mac and you get the same taste of chili for only 50 cents a can. Also great for chili dogs or nachos
Hey I love your budget meals videos. Besides when the food shortages start to hit hard those budget meals will come in handy👍
My family thinks it's a treat to have beanie weenies any time! Any of these would work and, like you said, you can add side vegetables or salad. I always add a can of pinto or black beans to taco meat and they think it is great.
Great budget meal ideas! The sausage veggie ramen is a great way to make a balanced meal out of ramen. Even the frozen veggies you used are very nutritious and pretty inexpensive. It doesn't necessarily need to be "fresh" to be healthy. :)
I think your meals looked great. People who complained obviously have never had to budget their meals or utilize food pantries. I think there is always a nice blend of proteins and veggies. BTW...I pressure can my own beanie weenies. It makes a great quick meal or snack if I am hungry in between meals
Nice job on this. I'm home from grocery shopping this afternoon and feeling a little sticker shock. Thanks for including the individual item prices... usually things are higher here, but some of the local markdowns beat your costs. My husband's always suggesting beanie weenie for a budget dinner. Now if I could just get him to eat ramen.
You absolutely inspire me and I want to thank you my anxiety goes up every time I go food shopping . I started stocking my pantry thanks to you and that is so amazing I love your videos and to be truthful I needed the inspiration and you are so right as long as our families are fed that is what matters . You help me with each video please remember that …
Hi Tamara👋👋👋 I think it’s great that you take the time to share extreme budget meals. I find it sad that there’s people who take the time to come on and criticize you for sharing what they feel are unhealthy meal choices, as you said, all that matters is that your family is fed, people like that are ignorant and obviously have never known what it’s like to be poor and concerned about where your family’s next meal may come from, surely they don’t recognize that there’s 1000s or more people, children who barely have one meal a day, there’s nothing worse than hearing the cries of a hungry child🥹 Thank you for all you do, I’m glad that you’re a strong person who doesn’t allow ignorant people to deter you from your goal of helping those in need🙏TYFS, I hope you have a peaceful and blessed weekend♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️
She has taken the high road.... providing a full belly.. You are right, people don't know....
@@emily--m Thank you Emily, God bless you🙏♥️😇♥️🙏
I saw someone use cornstarch instead of eggs. 2 TBLS Cornstarch and 3 TBLS Water mixed together for 1 egg. It worked in her cornbread. 😊❣️
See this is why I’m supposed to scroll through ALL the comments before I make my comment! Sorry I just said the same thing!
I'm always interested in stretching my budget and think you did a pretty good job with the meals you chose, especially for feeding kids. Eating out isn't an option for me with inflation and recent job loss, so I appreciate people like you for getting creative. Ignore the haters!
That was awesome! 😱 Everything you showed,….my family would love. I’m going to challenge myself 3-4 days a week while I save for my new sofa. This will be fun,,,,yay!! 😆🥳😅
Tamara you are right . As long as your family . And our family . Have something to eat . To fill up our stomachs . Need to thank God for what you got . Some people are too picky . And I have some in my family . Thanks for sharing all of your budget recipes . You did a wonderful job . On selecting four budget meals . For fiteen dollars and thirty cent's . You And Family . Have A Blessed Weekend .🦋💞🦋💞🦋💞🦋
Love, love, love these quick and easy dishes. Can't wait to try them all! Thank you!
Great job as always!!! Really helps give people ideas on easy and cheap meals
These look like easy to cook and kid pleasing as well as budget friendly. The ham potato meal was new for me.
Great budget meals that also look and sound delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Hey girl I appreciate all your videos I am a travel nurse and I do meal prep when I come home and I use a lot of things from your ideas ..... I work night shifts so I prep and put everything in fridge and then I pull out whatever I want and toss in my bag .... I do 3 nights a week so I half ideas and I love it !!!!!! Haters gonna hate no matter what you do or don't do ....... thanks again for all you do and show us ......
Definitely some great, filling meals for a tight budget. Thanks for the meal ideas. I'm still trying to figure out next week's meal plan & videos like these really help.
Good job. Thank you for sharing.
You are killing it lady! Love this channel and your creations, this is how my family love to eat. Thanks!!
Thanks Tamara,These meals look Yummy!!😋 I agree with you:As long as everyone is fed!!💯
So nice to see affordable recipes!! Thanks for the great ideas!!
I love how creative you are everything looks good, easy and my favorite affordable.
Love your recipes. Keep us watching it really helps. Enjoy the food thanks
Thank you for these meal ideas
I grew up in a family of 8 children, mom always made the best meals. Smoked sausage an red beans with salsa over rice... DELICIOUS, she also used to make a huge pot of ham an beans so yummy the next day turn it into chili an if any left the 3rd day veggie soup so good
Thank you so much for sharing!! You have helped me and inspired me to shop on a budget for my family!!
i now use half of the meat in our meals than i use to, but nobody seems to miss it.
Great planning and it looks great.
I love watching your videos 💕 Great meal ideas thank you for sharing these!
I definitely need to try these
Thank you lots of good ideas. I am looking forward to trying the taco mac and cheese.
The way I see it, if you're actually legitimately hungry then you're gonna grab what you can to feed your family. Not everyone can afford to buy the $5 head of broccoli or whatever so they HAVE to buy the canned/frozen version or go without a veggie a couple of nights a week because they can't afford to have them every night. That's why McDonald's burgers are $1.50 and a prepped salad from Walmart is $4. All of your meals always look incredible though.
This video was a WOW!!!!!! TY
I agree with the other commenters,looks like there’s at least some veg in each meal. It also varies based on where you live but also what people in the house will actually eat. Where I am most vegetables are reasonably priced and haven’t really raised that I noticed,but others have doubled or more & some are even smaller weights than before.
Another great video thank you!
Thank you ❤️😊
Wonderful ideas to help stretch that food budget. All looked good it awesome how you are inspiring so many.
love these videos 😊
I recently made the beans and Hot dogs I hadn't had those since I was little and they were so good.
thank you so much !!!
Thanks!
These meals look great !
Hey, Tamara 💚🌸. Love these videos!!! I appreciate you sharing how to keep the bellies of children full, for mamas that don’t have the resources that others do ❤️. God bless you, girl ✝️👏❤️
Another very creative budget friendly meal idea! I love the suggestions using canned proteins-much cheaper than from the meat section. Really enjoying your channel.
It’s upsetting to see negative comments about the budget meals being junk or unhealthy. Frozen veggies are just as good if not better than fresh sometimes. And I’m so thankful that you don’t use beans for every meal. I HATE beans and most budget meals say to use them so it’s nice to see that you have more variety. I love these meals that you made here and I actually make the taco Mac and cheese kinda often for my family. I love adding a tomato on top for some freshness and I might try adding in the corn like your suggestion too!
I love your ideas for meals
Looks great
I like to fry my cut hotdogs in butter before I add my beans so good and adds another depth of flavor
Hi Yvette and Gerry 😇
Yes me too that’s the only way!
Well done 👏
Don't let anyone judge you. Food is food. It is better to have fed your family with junk than to have your family going hungry. You do you and let them hate. Haters are going to hate, no matter what you do. If they are not hating on you, they'll be hating on someone else. Proud of you, Mama.
The taco Mac and cheese is my fav looks delicious. Agree fed is best .
We don't drink milk, but use for cooking. We buy the dry milk powder Nido. It's in a round canister at Walmart, larger size at Costco or Sam's Club. It has a child pictured on the canister. The scoop that comes with inside, use 4 small scoops to make a cup of milk. If you were going to drink this I suggest chilling or use cold water. The large canister was running around 20-21 dollars. It last us around 9 months though. Use it for cooking, soups, making oatmeal instead of just water. It's very useful to have in your prepper pantry.Hope this helps! Love watching. Keep those videos coming. I am a 66 year old gma but still have enjoyed watching! Kathy from California ❣️
I have dry milk stocked in my prepper pantry ♥️
Pffff…don’t listen to the ones complaining. You’re helping so many.
👍 great Awesome will make some recipes Blessings to all cooking time 🥘
Hi, Just found your channel and this video first! Great ideas and I am going to try them! I am also going to be going back and binge watching your other video's now. Now a days we all need all the ideas and inspiration on our food budgets that we can get with this current situation with the inflation and stuff! I so agree with your last statement in this video..at the end of the day.. all that matters is happy healthy family with full tummies! Thank You for your video's, I am looking forward to watching all the others!
Welcome!! 🤗
Great video. I use powered milk for cooking. It is useful when you are out of milk. I will not drink it but cooking with it works great.
These are awesome!!!! Even my hubby would love these. Can't wait to try. In ham & potato bake. I use italian green beans instead broccoli. 😁
Thank you for the great tips! Some of the things you make remind me of my childhood food. Ya never know when your going to need to go back to eating less expensive meals!!
Your budget meals are my every day meals 😋. Extreme budget would probably be a baked potato, fried potato, homemade pasta made with just flour& water or rice with an egg.
You could even add enough water and/or broth to make a soup out of the ramen,vegetables and cutting meat in to smaller pieces. Stretching it further. All your food looks yummy 😊
I am a homeschooler, so I make three meals a day every day all year long and it really adds up...these are great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Same... breakfeast lunch dinner then a hundred thousand snacks specially when it's time to sit to for school work they are all sudden hungry.
Same!
I use ramen in my stir fry frequently. One thing I do is drain my ramen and set aside the liquid for a sauce. I saute my ramen with the sausage to get the meat flavor into the ramen then I add the veggies at the end add in your water and seasoning if you like peanut sauce and can tolerate peanuts add a tablespoon of peanut butter to your sauceit just adds another component of flavor.
Look wonderful. You always do a great job.
This was a helpful video. Thank you.
You're welcome!
There was a time that I worked 2 jobs and we still had to eat a lot of beans and rice. When you live on a very tight budget you do what you have to do to feed your kids.
When all is said an done the kids went to bed with full tummies. Yeah there will be those who'll be negative, maybe they never struggled. Or went to bed with a growling stomachf
Great video!!!
❤️ this content and the taco Mac and cheese and ramen and sausage looked delicious! I also never noticed the chopped up canned ham, I’ll be looking for that, tfs!
Also in the cornbread mix if no egg 1/4cup water can be used it won't turn out exactly the same but Close enough 🙂 same thing for cake mixes and such
i think ALL your meals look yummy and wouldn't hesitate to put them on my family table 😉 😋 😊
These are very nice ideas💡
Thank you! 😊
here in england our beans come with 8 mini hotdog sausages in the tin,,my fave on toast,with scrambled eggs xx
Nice video!!!
Thank you for sharing these recipes. Also thank you for your positive fans. I love reading comments/suggestions, etc. Looking back I can see where my family struggled throughout my childhood. I was never hungry, however was lean.... can't say that now. I'm sure it hurt my mother when I stuffed food under the ridge of my plate....Kids don't know what's going on. 😂 Have a blessed and beautiful day 🥰
I have not seen diced canned ham at Walmart before. That looks like it would make a great addition to leftover rice.
Your meals are very creative! Great ideas. I would have browned all the meats including the ham before I added them to the dish. Gives added flavor to the meal.
so helpful..people have to eat...not that bad on nutrition..thankyou so much..turkey is actually very healthy !
Wow, they all looked so good and so budget friendly, which i need to learn! Thank you for sharing and I had to sub!!
Welcome 🤗
Ooh that sausage ramen meal looks yummy!
Just found your channel. This is a great video. Thank you for sharing and thank you for understanding. My mother used to say that as long as your belly is full and not growling, people don't know if you got full of steak or beans and rice!
Amen to that
You can substitute egg with sour cream in recipes as well
cool
Very creative. Looks so good. I was also thinking corn dogs with the Jiffy Mix and baked beans on the side. Yours look good too. Thanks for sharing your video.
I did corn dog bake in a different budget meal video! It’s a favorite ♥️
