Thanks for.all the information on food's that sound edible, and a good meal. Everybody, PLEASE DON'T purchase food's that are a cheap deal. No joke, the shit that's the content of the food is down right nasty! You probably won't get sick now but take care of yourself guy's; prep food's and PLEASE cook at home; or from someone you trust. The shit l heard and saw would turn u off too. Example's, all the Dollar store's to KFC. I need to stretch my ca-ching and my food stamps too. It just isn't worth it to eat shit and die later from built up poison you eat and feed your family. I know, l've been homeless. I'm disabled, alone and will be 65 Christmas. I'm not talking out my ass. We deserve better. Happy Holidays to you,Mom in Miami
The canned "Comfort Creek Dumplings and Chicken" kept me alive for two weeks when I was broke and deathly ill with the flu this winter. Yes, it is bland with more dumplings than chicken, but it was the perfect nourishment for me at the time. I added salt and pepper to add a little bit of taste. I still keep several cans in my pantry and eat it once or twice once a month. It's inexpensive, heartier than soup and really isn't that bad in my opinion. Thank you for reviewing so many Dollar Tree food items. I am very hesitant to buy anything out of the refrigerator section at Dollar Tree unless it is a well known brand. Great info!
Heartier than soup? this stuff is garbage. A properly made soup, made from actual vegetables, is so much better for you than this muck. You can make it in bulk and freeze it. Add some decent bread and you have a proper meal.
It is nice to have something when times are tough, especially when your ill. Thats why this channel exists. I'm sure there are other products that can be o.k. as well.
I live by myself pay all the bills myself..dollar tree guarantees I'll be eating everyday of the week..sometimes I'll make an omelet with pepperoni and fries..I no how to pick the good stuff
I'll admit that I've bought a few of these in my darker hours... but I've learned now that I'm so much better off buying beans and rice in bulk, and of course, catching eggs, chicken etc when it's on sale at local grocery stores. Now I usually keep my monthly grocery bill under $100 a month. Regardless though, thanks for the info and research you've done for us all, big thumbs up!
I don't rlly shop at dollar tree for food, mostly for snacks tho since they have big packs of ccokies, chips and candies for just 1$, also they have those extremely good minute maid icy cups
I still get a lot of food there, just not these weird frozen things. But they have frozen fruit and vegetables which are actual food and good for you plus beans, rice, pasta and lentils stuff like that.
I love that you address the ingredients. If I’m spending $1 I still want to minimize the amount of toxic fillings and artificial foods I’m getting. I’ve had those spring rolls before they’re amazing. Even in a pinch microwave them for long enough and you still get a nice crust
The ones he recommended: Fast Bites: Fish and cheese sandwich 5:30 Chef Ernesto: Battered Mushrooms 6:04 Snapps: Cream cheese pepper bites 7:18 South gate: Chili with beans 7:31 Bon Vivant: Shrimp Tempura 8:16 Chef Ernesto: Vegetable Samosa 9:06 JENNIFERS GARDEN: SPRING ROLLS 9:38 (these look so good lol)
I don't live in the US so I most likely won't ever get a chance to try these out by myself but I still appreciate the effort put into these videos! it's a disgrace that they have the gall to charge people for products of such quality but you also take time to recommend the ones that are of good value which is great. These reviews are incredibly entertaining on their own. I also love the dad humor, I find it oddly wholesome and charming.
No shit the mozzarella sticks are gonna burst open and the cheese is gonna spill if you bake it in the oven. Even if you fry them for too long the cheese will pour out into the oil and same thing for the microwave. I don’t know why the reviewer, and someone else in this section was complaining.
I wrote long reply, then lost it spell checking, so I'm not going to spell check this. My keyboard doubles letters. Basically, what I said, is less is more. Eat less, but better quality foods. Don't by those freezer meals, but do buy other single ingredient foods, and make something. With a bag of flour, milk, water or plant beverage, lemon juice, and baking powder,, one can make pancakes, waffles, French toast, muffins, bread,, rolls, cookies, pie,, etc. With 2 cups of flour,, baking powder, and 1 cup off fruit (blueberries--possibly frozen at the $1 store), or vegetable (sweet potato/pumpkin), one can make 12 muffins, which will last 3 people a month, if they are eaten once a month. Learn how to make Roux (1tbs flour mixed in 1 tbs of butter, to form a paste, which is aa thicker). With Roux, you can make gravy, pudding, chowder,, white sauce, stews,, justt by thickening milk or broth.. Also, Americans, eat WAY too much animal based "protein" items, such as dairy, eggs, cheese, and meat. People only need 45 GRAMS of protein, from all edibles containing it in a DAY. Those Chef Ernesto veggie burgers (more like fritters), have 5 grams of protein, per burger. Add 1/2 cup of baked beans, and it gets more substantial ONE beef burger patty, by itself, without a bun, or anything, is around 20 grams of protein BY ITSELF. ALMOST HALF THE DAILY REQUIRED AMOUNT. Now add to that, any eggs, milk as a drink, cheese, and other animal products, at the other two meals, and it's a diet, well OVER the required daily protein amount. Anything in excess, will cause health problems. Humans, don''t need meat & milk EVERY meal. If you want meat or milk every meal, then just use half as much. Eating/buying less animal products, will save a lot of money. I know a person, who goes through a gallon of milk a week. That''s 4 gallons a month. At around $3 a gallon, that's = $12 a month, in milk alone. Making meal plans, really helps,, then you can inventory exactly what you use, and how much it will cost per month. If you can make things yourself, with single ingredients, it may be cheaper, and definitely more healthier than buying premadde. When you make it, there's no encyclopedic ingredients list in it, and you can omit salt and excess sugar.

"The meat was like chewing on a moist mattress in a nursing home. Not appetizing at all." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I'm dying!! This is comedic commentary right here. I feel sorry for your guts, but man this is great.
Dollar tree sells these awesome, single-ingredient, freeze-dried bananas. Makes for a great healthy snack. Also, their almond milk in the tetra pak is great. Its ingredient list is pretty much the same as the Almond Breeze brand, which makes me wonder if it is actually made by the same company.
Not gonna lie, during the recession I ate a Ton of food from the dollar store. A lot of it (just like the video says) I wouldnt feed to my dog, but the few "good ones" kept me fed for sometime-- I remain grateful for the 99 cent only stores.
The perogis and ravioli arent bad if you fry them after boiling and put butter and sour cream plus fried onions and mushrooms on them. And bacon plus some grease always heps : )
@@georgelackey622 ...Correct. People still don't realize why corporate america controls most of the media. Knowledge is useless if people never begin to accurately be self taught how too many 'presentations' have many common denominators. It's an extremely time consuming task that takes years to learn, unless you're on the inside looking out.
The dollar tree has fed my family many times. You can actually make a decent ghulash using pork sausage with stewed tomatoes and the garlic bread from there is amazing.
A very good example of why you should buy real food and make it yourself. Real food tastes good. Over processed doesn't. Try to save money but don't try to save time when it comes to food.
Simply untrue. Dollar tree can actually be more expensive in many cases when you're trying to buy food. Further by buying raw ingredients yourself from a supermarket and actually cooking them up can save you money. Dollar tree is decent in a pinch, but you shouldn't do your primary food shopping there.
Well Larry thanks for steering me away from the bacon wrapped beef steaks. You are a very brave man for trying all of these suspect foods. Looks like at the end you settled for home cooking. Hey a dozen eggs for a dollar, amazing.
I definitely didn't eat a lot of the stuff from dollar tree but there were some things that I really liked: The grilled chicken burger The pomegranate lemonade The four cheese and supreme personal pizza The key lime, & cookies and cream frozen pie Their tilapia The dozen eggs (some locations sell 18 in a pack) Almost most of their frozen vegetables Most of their spices and condiments
Nah, that chit is majorly poisoned.. Just look up many of the ingredients that make it up... Quite frankly, most of our food has been poisoned, but some more than others. Pick your poisons!!
@@CoralVictoriaful I grew up poor, & am highly aware that many people live hand to mouth. However, I know countless poor people who own Jordan's & the latest cell phones. It's all about priorities, too
I think your channel is my favorite, real, home made channel, that never infringes copyright, teaches me, makes me smile..Larry, you are simply great! THANK YOU! I look forward to your vids like I did new tv shows as a kid! Love to you and yours!
We got the 99 cent stores here also ... They are helping me thru being disabled / out of work waiting for something to change ...should be getting surgery in june and back to normal
Right there with you my friend,broke my knee,waiting to heal with very little cash so its basically cheap survival food to fill the void&get by until life becomes normal again.....good luck!
The fact that you go over these ingredients is amazing. I never realized how many shit ingredients go into meals like this until you came along. Now I notice everything.
This channel is awesome, especially now with grocery prices soaring. I especially like how the meals are all quite balanced! Thank You Mr.Wolfe! Also teaching actually not just exact recipies, but how to use your imagination, and what you have around.
Great wrap-up for 2017, and you lived to tell it, for us, THE PEOPLE! The only frozen things I get at the Dollar Tree are the spring rolls (very good) and occasionally, the veggie patties.
Try Big Lots...Good low prices $1.25 for 3 pound package spaghetti $1.25 jar of spaghetti meat sauce...& $1.89 gal. milk... That's a real meal with milk, for less than four bucks ...Often in the same shopping lot...
@Anne Hedonia I live in a small farming community in Washington state, and our town has one grocery store "Safeways" and we finally got a dollar tree, it has name brand items! colgate toothpaste, imperial margerine, dial soap, degree deodorant, dawn dish soap, skippy, campbells soup, starkist tuna,,,,,I dont know why people gripe about it so much?? we have absolutely no Aldi's, no whole foods, no bent and dent, nothing, not even in the big town 25 miles away.
They put fillers in their pepperoni. Sadly, most frozen pizzas do. I won't eat mechanically separated things. Sometimes the store brand has real pepperoni depending on where you go.
I had some of those foods. Nothing wrong with them. They do taste better when you make it on your own. $1 come on, not going to get 5 star restaurant quality.
I truly am sorry for how much TVP and damn near toxic food you had to sift through to find the few actual decent or even edible ones! Thanks for the Great content and a wonderful 2017! Can't wait to see what's in store for 2018...keep it up!
Never buy cheese from there either! I made that mistake a few years ago. I didn't want to wait in a long line at the grocery store, so I went into the Dollar Tree. THE CHEESE DOES NOT MELT! I will NEVER make that mistake again.
I take microwaveable sandwiches apart, toast the bread part in the toaster or toaster oven, and nuke the meat separately. It comes out much better that way, the bread doesn't end up chewy or soggy. Thanks for your critique of these foods. I've tried some of them, and pretty much agree. I like to pour the Southgate chili onto rice, and make a filling, tasty meal.
I love this. I plan on using it tomorrow during dinner at the Colonnade Restaurant, in Atlanta. I am ready for hushed silence from the William and Mary graduate sitting at our table.
I remember being at the Dollar Tree and buying one of those lobster egg rolls. I ate it, realized it was dollar store seafood, and started to wonder if it was going to kill me honestly.
Marisa......I've turned into a snob eating the Belgian Milk Chocolate Aldi has. That is my benchmark. Other name brand chocolate seems gritty or just plain. I like some of the unusual stuff they occasionally have. I'll buy something, try it in the parking lot, go back in and get more. :)
As an asian person, growing up my parents would buy this type of food sometimes and I thought it was the best stuff ever! Especially the snapps products
Here in Canada they just brought in dollar tree but the frozen foods haven't caught in because of health regulations I believe lol. I'll stick with our Canadian dollarama which is actually decent.
One time I bought sliced cheese from the dollar tree (hey don't judge times were hard 😟😁) I put it in the microwave on top of my burger y'all the damn cheese didnt even melt 😔😫😤😬😮it just curled up..well I won't be buying food from dt again as long as I can help it. But I like dollar tree for other things 💁😁
That cheese is basically oil and coffee creamer. They do got real cheese it is pepper jack or white cheddar 6 ounce piece I think. The sliced or shredded is fake.
I totally lost it with the remark “chewing on a damp mattress from a nursing home.” What kind of mind comes up with that? Even though I am probably older than most nursing home residents I found the remark hysterical and I absolutely love you!
Honestly the eggs from dollar tree are no different than your regular ones from Walmart and any other grocery store, affordable and good if you’re on a tight budget
I'm still trying to figure out what people think they're going to get for $1, lol. Surely people aren't expecting top quality 'food'. This video has probably saved a lot of people a few dollars, some time and stomach aches, lol The fewer the ingredients ( and fillers), the better the food in most cases
As a college student living in a dorm (no stove or oven) sometimes when things are tight it's a choice between cheap processed food or nothing at all. I generally try to do things as fresh as possible but sometimes it's just not an option. I found his review very useful.
Low prices doesn't need to me low quality. You can make yourself some nice stews and such for a couple dollars but not everyone has to luxury to even have a place to make their own food and are stuck with these over processed foods
you don't need to spend alot to be healthy, just keep it simple stay away from myths of 8 glesses of water and the 3 to 4 meals a day, one meal or two is sufficient problem is the processed foods increase unhealthy cravings, i like to keep meals quick to make but also healthy, this includes making my own bread, that i make less than a hour, using baking soda and acv to rise the dough or paratha that i make with compact stove plate oven all glory,honor,thanks and praise to the MOST HIGH
Psuffix the Ernesto did sound good , but being carb free I do my carb eating vicariously 😎. While the DT closest to me doesn't have the frozen stuff, many of the others do.
As an unemployed homeless man with a food stamp card to survive on, I can't really eat like I would want but this video helped me with opening my eyes to cheap options that allow me to stretch out my allowance. Thanks
Those spring rolls are the bomb! Love to get them. Also, the Snapps brand deep Fried green beans are delicious. Bake up nice and crispy. I make a creamy Asian dipping sauce for them and my family goes to town!
Jean I know you mean well but even if the sales of palm oil goes down it will just be replaced or used for something else. Changes need to be made in the country were it is produced.
Jean If they are willing to burn down forests for palm trees what's stopping them from burning down forest for any other crop or livestock? Palm oil is just what's most profitable atm.
You are right , it is up to them to change but maybe it is helping to say it is not cool . that said I also have my morning nutella bread spread from times to times LOL
Just found you. Thanks for testing the foods out. Out of all those, I've only had the Beef and Chicken patties. It wasn't too bad. I don't eat most of the foods there. And no matter what I buy, I make sure it does not say China. It has to be made in the USA. It saddens me when I see families shop there for all their meals. Anywho thank you and I enjoyed your humor.
At Dollar tree I like the stir fry, peppers and onions, shoestring fries, cheap soda, and little debbie knockoffs. And then I walk around looking for full size products of name brands.

It's an extremely time consuming task that takes years to learn, unless you're on the inside looking out.
The dollar tree has fed my family many times. You can actually make a decent ghulash using pork sausage with stewed tomatoes and the garlic bread from there is amazing.
I love your backround music. It adds to the mystery of the dollar tree enigma very interesting 🤣
Love the brutal honesty on this stuff, great job as always!
As one of The People, I thank and salute you. Your hard work is very much appreciated.
i literally have no clue why this was in my recommend but i’m currently watching it at 3 am and i am *enthralled*
A very good example of why you should buy real food and make it yourself. Real food tastes good. Over processed doesn't. Try to save money but don't try to save time when it comes to food.
wpl has
wpl most of our food comes from the Dallor tree it's all we can afford.
Virginia Babiash Not just THAT'S what's affordable it's what I can manage to make without assistance. It beats the HELL outta going hungry!
Simply untrue. Dollar tree can actually be more expensive in many cases when you're trying to buy food. Further by buying raw ingredients yourself from a supermarket and actually cooking them up can save you money. Dollar tree is decent in a pinch, but you shouldn't do your primary food shopping there.
Agree make your own.
Well Larry thanks for steering me away from the bacon wrapped beef steaks. You are a very brave man for trying all of these suspect foods. Looks like at the end you settled for home cooking. Hey a dozen eggs for a dollar, amazing.
I definitely didn't eat a lot of the stuff from dollar tree but there were some things that I really liked:
The grilled chicken burger
The pomegranate lemonade
The four cheese and supreme personal pizza
The key lime, & cookies and cream frozen pie
Their tilapia
The dozen eggs (some locations sell 18 in a pack)
Almost most of their frozen vegetables
Most of their spices and condiments
Heyy long time no see bud.
We missed ya
Dollar Tree's stock is almost $100/share. They're doing something right.
Hey, I even see their products at the Goodwill... For $3.00
There isn’t a high volume which greatly contributes to its price
Yes, taking advantage of a nation that's ever falling into poverty.
@@sleeplessknight99 taking advantage? They’re providing a needed service. I love dollar tree.

Boy do we need it more than ever with Bidenflation.
Buckle up folks, it's gonna be a rough 6 months+
"Like chewing on a moist mattress in a nursing home" Literally LOL
Where do you live that they sell half gallons of milk at Dollar Tree? I'm lucky if my Dollar Tree has the little cartons for a dollar.
Your editing takes something so mundane and makes it fascinating to watch. It's like a trailer park version of How It's Made
Trailer park version of how it's made! CLASSIC!
Their ginger snaps by lil Dutch maid are amazing and they give you so much and taste better than the over priced superstores.
How are you still alive from eating all of this
Nathan Skeen because it’s still actual food not poison???
Nah, that chit is majorly poisoned.. Just look up many of the ingredients that make it up... Quite frankly, most of our food has been poisoned, but some more than others. Pick your poisons!!
Shizz Jizzle It's how some people have to live. 🤷🏻♀️

I remember i went to the dollar tree one time came out with 5 fast bite sausage and cheese biscuit ate almost all of it in 1 day they were that good
They be on point
I shop at Dollar Tree every week. The spring rolls are great. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I'm sold on your channel just on the basis that I've hardly seen _anyone_ review dollar food.
Pledge $1 a month? I see what you did there it's so you can spend it at the dollar tree
hopefully he's saving it so his family can pay for his funeral.

Too funny
LMAO
@@chrismorse3862 What do you mean? He is full of preservatives, He will never die.
I think your channel is my favorite, real, home made channel, that never infringes copyright, teaches me, makes me smile..Larry, you are simply great! THANK YOU! I look forward to your vids like I did new tv shows as a kid! Love to you and yours!
We got the 99 cent stores here also ... They are helping me thru being disabled / out of work waiting for something to change ...should be getting surgery in june and back to normal
Right there with you my friend,broke my knee,waiting to heal with very little cash so its basically cheap survival food to fill the void&get by until life becomes normal again.....good luck!
Much luck and speedy recovery to you both. Suggestion? If there is one near you, Aldi is a very good choice for price and quality. Best wishes.
99 cent store is amazing with fresh fruit and vegetables.
gil wood I love .99 cent stores. Shopped at one in Nevada for years. Moved to TX and the closest one is over 100 mi.
@@bettye444 Yeah, We had them in Vegas ...all the fresh fruit and produce was amazing
If I’m ever in a pinch, I stop by at my aunt’s place. She always is willing to give away homemade leftovers 😂
“Five rat turd size” that took my breath right out of my chest 😂😂😂😂
"Taste like chewing on a wet mattress, in a nursing home". Lololololollll!!!!
I really like the Jamaican spicy beef patties
True ....i're mon
same, i wish my dollar tree sold them... i get them at the grocery for $3 each
Yes!
Another delicious food item at Dollar Tree is Margaret Holmes Seasoned Green Lima Beans in a can.
The fact that you go over these ingredients is amazing. I never realized how many shit ingredients go into meals like this until you came along. Now I notice everything.
You are brave for doing this
I always enjoy watching this channel despite the lack of polish but you are just so nice to listen to with your enthusiasm
This dude is funny he said not enough meet to fill a cavity😂
Terell Nelson 😂😂
It was rice and if was meat, it would be spelled meat, not meet.
Now ik who’s my school’s main food provider🙄
Ik who's ????
This channel is awesome, especially now with grocery prices soaring. I especially like how the meals are all quite balanced! Thank You Mr.Wolfe! Also teaching actually not just exact recipies, but how to use your imagination, and what you have around.
"Once baked.. The egg rolls, not me" i cracked up !
heh, crack
Thanks for torturing yourself so I don't have too. I always wondered about their food.
"The chicken strips were like chewing on a moist mattress in a nursing home"😂😂😂😂
Whaaaaat?!! Lol
Great wrap-up for 2017, and you lived to tell it, for us, THE PEOPLE! The only frozen things I get at the Dollar Tree are the spring rolls (very good) and occasionally, the veggie patties.
Debbie P vegetarian or vegans?
vegan*
If you're asking about the veggie patties, the ingredients are shown at 10:00
I fed my family of 4 with 3 bucks! Spaghetti sauce, sausage, and spaghetti noodles.
Gotta do what ya gotta do.
At least they didn't go to bed hungry.
Try Big Lots...Good low prices $1.25 for 3 pound package spaghetti $1.25 jar of spaghetti meat sauce...& $1.89 gal. milk... That's a real meal with milk, for less than four bucks ...Often in the same shopping lot...
God bless you!! ❤️
@Anne Hedonia I live in a small farming community in Washington state, and our town has one grocery store "Safeways" and we finally got a dollar tree, it has name brand items! colgate toothpaste, imperial margerine, dial soap, degree deodorant, dawn dish soap, skippy, campbells soup, starkist tuna,,,,,I dont know why people gripe about it so much?? we have absolutely no Aldi's, no whole foods, no bent and dent, nothing, not even in the big town 25 miles away.
We have all the major grocery stores and I stilllll love the dollar store!!
"Tem-pooo-rah'.
This is a really good mini documentary, thanks!
Of course Red Baron is good, it's a known name brand XD That was playing it safe lol
They put fillers in their pepperoni. Sadly, most frozen pizzas do. I won't eat mechanically separated things. Sometimes the store brand has real pepperoni depending on where you go.
I had some of those foods. Nothing wrong with them. They do taste better when you make it on your own. $1 come on, not going to get 5 star restaurant quality.
Love you man. Saved our pocketbooks. Add their store brand cereals to the inedible list !
I truly am sorry for how much TVP and damn near toxic food you had to sift through to find the few actual decent or even edible ones! Thanks for the Great content and a wonderful 2017! Can't wait to see what's in store for 2018...keep it up!
I don't know how he does it..but it's not like anyone is forcing him lol

Lesson learned. NEVER BUY MEAT FROM THE DOLLAR STORE
The rib eyes are good. Alittle grill seasoning or with an egg is how I make them. The feta and the veggies and fries are good.
Never buy cheese from there either! I made that mistake a few years ago. I didn't want to wait in a long line at the grocery store, so I went into the Dollar Tree. THE CHEESE DOES NOT MELT! I will NEVER make that mistake again.
Always get advice from TheWolfePit
I think you meant to type "MEAT" (you forgot the " " )
I didn't think you needed to be told to not buy meat from a store with the word dollar in it
Gotta say those spring rolls look divine, especially when compared to every other chemical concoction you had to endure LOL.
I take microwaveable sandwiches apart, toast the bread part in the toaster or toaster oven, and nuke the meat separately. It comes out much better that way, the bread doesn't end up chewy or soggy.
Thanks for your critique of these foods. I've tried some of them, and pretty much agree. I like to pour the Southgate chili onto rice, and make a filling, tasty meal.
OMG "chewing on a moist mattress in a nursing home". Good god why do you want to do THAT to my imagination? hehe. Anyway, keep it up. Happy New Year.
Aaron B That's how you know he's Southern. Similes
😂😂😂 that part killed me but its true! only way to get them even near tasty is to deep fry them and thats not even listed on the pack.
He made me gasp with that one....
I love this. I plan on using it tomorrow during dinner at the Colonnade Restaurant, in Atlanta. I am ready for hushed silence from the William and Mary graduate sitting at our table.
on YT, there's actually a part from a TLC strange addictions of someone who as addicted to eating matresses.

I remember being at the Dollar Tree and buying one of those lobster egg rolls. I ate it, realized it was dollar store seafood, and started to wonder if it was going to kill me honestly.
Lol
As a college student, this is surprisingly helpful.
I only buy snacks from the dollar store before I go to the movies, other than that, I wouldn’t buy food from there. The cheapest I’ll go is Aldis
Aldis food products are way better than the dollar tree lol. Sav a lots good to, I don't know if you have one where you live.
Marisa D I buy all my snacks at DT too. I can't rationalize paying almost $5 for a bag of chips anymore. Nope, can't do it.
I go and get my munchies there.. Oh yeah and little toys for me and my nephew
Marisa I like Aldi. They have pretty good food. :) I usually just get snacks at the dollar store as well.
Marisa......I've turned into a snob eating the Belgian Milk Chocolate Aldi has. That is my benchmark. Other name brand chocolate seems gritty or just plain. I like some of the unusual stuff they occasionally have. I'll buy something, try it in the parking lot, go back in and get more. :)
As an asian person, growing up my parents would buy this type of food sometimes and I thought it was the best stuff ever! Especially the snapps products
11:11 “My piss smells cheesy” lmao all the way at the bottom
I love this guy
I saw that shit wtf
Here in Canada they just brought in dollar tree but the frozen foods haven't caught in because of health regulations I believe lol. I'll stick with our Canadian dollarama which is actually decent.
It is not decent in Quebec
Those spring rolls looked so good. Thank you for all your hard work and for making us laugh. You are such a comedian!
Moist mattress in a nursing home lmao
The shit he says cracks me up sometimes 😂
One time I bought sliced cheese from the dollar tree (hey don't judge times were hard 😟😁) I put it in the microwave on top of my burger y'all the damn cheese didnt even melt 😔😫😤😬😮it just curled up..well I won't be buying food from dt again as long as I can help it. But I like dollar tree for other things 💁😁
Damn. That is really messed up. Wow.
Danyell Johnson lol😂😂😂
Danyell Johnson same here! Ughhhhhhhhh. ✋✋✋✋😣😣
That cheese is basically oil and coffee creamer. They do got real cheese it is pepper jack or white cheddar 6 ounce piece I think. The sliced or shredded is fake.
Danyell Johnson Hahaha My daughter found out that wasn't real cheese. She had no idea. Thank goodness she only wasted a buck.
I totally lost it with the remark “chewing on a damp mattress from a nursing home.” What kind of mind comes up with that? Even though I am probably older than most nursing home residents I found the remark hysterical and I absolutely love you!
Honestly the eggs from dollar tree are no different than your regular ones from Walmart and any other grocery store, affordable and good if you’re on a tight budget
I was eating Taco Bell during the entire video and it really made me appreciate the quality :-D
Hotsauce is Lethal enjoy your explosive diarrhea later 😅
they admit their meat is only 88% meat.
@@marilynwillett804 of course but that's because it is seasoned.
Me and my niece like the spring rolls..dollar tree helped my sister feed her daughter without hurting her wallet
I'm still trying to figure out what people think they're going to get for $1, lol. Surely people aren't expecting top quality 'food'. This video has probably saved a lot of people a few dollars, some time and stomach aches, lol The fewer the ingredients ( and fillers), the better the food in most cases
As a college student living in a dorm (no stove or oven) sometimes when things are tight it's a choice between cheap processed food or nothing at all. I generally try to do things as fresh as possible but sometimes it's just not an option. I found his review very useful.
Low prices doesn't need to me low quality. You can make yourself some nice stews and such for a couple dollars but not everyone has to luxury to even have a place to make their own food and are stuck with these over processed foods
jssangel416 right
I've thought about it out of sheer disgusting curiosity. This guy is insane doing this haha, he's got my sub and likes.
you don't need to spend alot to be healthy, just keep it simple stay away from myths of 8 glesses of water and the 3 to 4 meals a day, one meal or two is sufficient problem is the processed foods increase unhealthy cravings, i like to keep meals quick to make but also healthy, this includes making my own bread, that i make less than a hour, using baking soda and acv to rise the dough or paratha that i make with compact stove plate oven
all glory,honor,thanks and praise to the MOST HIGH
You make me happy my Dollar Tree doesn't have a freezer section.
joe husosky mines too
You should want a freezer section. Chef Ernesto's veggie patties and samosas are great.
Psuffix the Ernesto did sound good , but being carb free I do my carb eating vicariously 😎. While the DT closest to me doesn't have the frozen stuff, many of the others do.
joe husosky same
Yep, neither does mine.
As an unemployed homeless man with a food stamp card to survive on, I can't really eat like I would want but this video helped me with opening my eyes to cheap options that allow me to stretch out my allowance. Thanks
Those spring rolls are the bomb! Love to get them. Also, the Snapps brand deep Fried green beans are delicious. Bake up nice and crispy. I make a creamy Asian dipping sauce for them and my family goes to town!
thats disgusting how do you live with yourself
Barking Ant you must be on a food stamp budget
@@cecegiles7753 That's not true. It's cheaper to buy real food than this crap. So being on food stamps is no excuse to not eat healthy.
@@R-Lee- You get what you pay for.
If mail was not so expensive to the USA I would send you so much stuff from EU to review .
that said I would rather you boycotting Palm Oil for various reasons
Jean I know you mean well but even if the sales of palm oil goes down it will just be replaced or used for something else. Changes need to be made in the country were it is produced.
Jean If they are willing to burn down forests for palm trees what's stopping them from burning down forest for any other crop or livestock? Palm oil is just what's most profitable atm.
You are right , it is up to them to change but maybe it is helping to say it is not cool .
that said I also have my morning nutella bread spread from times to times LOL
Jean-Charles Navet Review your own, then no postage fee to worry.
Just found you. Thanks for testing the foods out. Out of all those, I've only had the Beef and Chicken patties. It wasn't too bad. I don't eat most of the foods there.
And no matter what I buy, I make sure it does not say China. It has to be made in the USA. It saddens me when I see families shop there for all their meals.
Anywho thank you and I enjoyed your humor.
At Dollar tree I like the stir fry, peppers and onions, shoestring fries, cheap soda, and little debbie knockoffs. And then I walk around looking for full size products of name brands.
I still can't believe you disrespected my egg rolls when I worked there that was my lunch 😭😭😭😭 the chicken ones were my favorite
Rebecca Aguilar yep the chicken egg rolls are pretty decent
this is so fucking funny to me, your voice and the humor about the dollar tree food LOL
"once baked-the egg rolls, not me" LMFAOOO💀
