  • Groceries got you down? On a fixed income, a student out on your own, or just looking for a few meal ideas on the cheap! There’s not too much in the grocery aisle at the dollar stores in Canada but I used my imagination and came up with 3 full meals and a snack all for less than 8$!
    Most quick meals available are processed, high carb, no protein, no fiber, high fat concoctions that don’t satisfy. Check mine out, they’re a big step in the right direction! Remember what we’ve got to work with!
    If you’re looking, I’ve added the waffle iron to my Amazon store where I’ve got items that I use at home and in my videos.
    Thank you so much for watching, I wouldn’t be here without all of you. Subscribe if you haven’t already.

    Love it! So ingenious to make stuffing into waffles! I wonder how many calories it all added up to, and the total macros. Did your cameraman want to try your creations, and if so, did he like them? 😋 Please do this again soon! Maybe from a discount grocery store that has fresh produce and dried beans, etc.

    That must have been quite the challenge, Mama T. Knowing your preference for healthy foods you must have been at your wit's end trying to find anything reasonable. But you took it on and you did a great job. A lot of folks who are on a budget can learn from this. Another terrific video.
