I keep a well stock pantry and a extra bedroom to hold emergency food and over flow. IT IS SOOO IMPORTANT. I was at the store not to long ago and everyone was panic buying, I think it was a storm coming, I stood in line so thankful I didn't need to pick up anything for it. Peace of mind knowing you're set for anything. I've been stocking up for years.
Your so right!!! We all have our own little ways of doing it and they all work!!! Me if I notice sales I buy the extra few ...I don't have a particular plan though nd rarely coupon.
I'm a senior citizen, who has been cooking all her life, and yet, I am learning new things from you. You sure know a lot about cooking for your young age!
I too learn tons from this channel! I have been watching a new RUclips channel called The Thrifty Food Plan that helps me out. She needs more subscribers so we can all stretch our food dollars.
Grilled peanut butter are awesome. I also just toast bread and spread peanut butter on it and it melts just like the grilled peanut butter. So delicious!!!!
Hi Brooke. A little tip to take your grilled peanut butter sandwiches to a whole new level, instead of having the sliced banana on the side, put them in the sandwich AND add a little drizzle of honey. The heat from grilling them will soften the bananas if they are a bit on the firm side, and make them taste creamier and sweeter. Oh my goodness, it is the food of the gods, I promise you will LOVE it. Much love and respect to you and your beautiful family, from South East England. x
I Absolutely Love you. You are unapologetic, Sweet and down to earth and your kids is adorable. Love the way they are so eager to try your food. Lots of Love from South Africa.
Brooke My target is expensive for food. You did good with $25. Not sure I could do that. Grilled peanut butter sandwich. Yum. I recently made a pork shoulder and it made a ton of food. You are amazing with feeding your family.
Omg ! While you were spreading up the pork, I was seriously salivating ,almost drooling ! My family loves pork..I have learned alot about seasoning from you so budget meals don't feel poor Thank you !
Everything looks really tasty. Liked how you made the baked beans. They looked yummy. I make grilled peanut butter all the time. I usually add marshmallow whip to them. I call them grilled fluffernutters. Take care and thank you for the tips and tricks.
We love grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. After we cook ours we top it with a little powdered sugar and it's amazing 😍 taste like fair food ❤ love you girl you're an amazing human thank you for all your recipes and tips
I am 100% with you on having a stocked pantry! When I’m getting low on an item I put it on my list (I use the notes section on my phone) and when I see it on sale I stock up on it. I do the same with meat, I have a deep freezer for meat and etc. Keep an eye on your grocery stores! My local Weis marks down their meat on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s, you can stock up on marked down meat, use freezer bags and stash in your freezer for when you need it. I love your videos and you always give me inspiration for a meal if I don’t know what I want for dinner (I try to make a meal plan but it changes with our moods lol)
I shop online with Target pickup. It save us time and money. If you only need 1 item no problem they will bring it to your car. They also have crazy promo. There in store name brands are good😊
I see where their kids get their reactions from. They nod and go it’s good. It’s subtle but after seeing how dusty responds I’m convinced they get it from him. You can tell they love your cooking, words not needed body language says it all. Stay safe in the upcoming possible storms. In in VA and heard TN may be getting some weather warnings.
Hi Brooke Thank you so very much for these excellent meal ideas it helps so much to have food list to go shop for . Thank you for helping me achieve this from the depths of my heart.❤
Love this series.. Idk if people would find it "preach-y" ?? But to do this AND have a small garden even just 1 raised bed, spring, summer & winter vegis..they could stretch $$ so much further.... And or..do the budget haul and be able to pick just 1 item from a prep pantry per meal! Or both?? From the budget haul you could have left out the..lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers?? To buy more meat, cheese, butter, milk etc.. And ALWAYS have a big, constantly growing herb pot/s! You'll pretty much always have carrots, potatoes & onions! Tomatoes all summer..peppers.. Just a thought to show..after this series is over..what's possible with just an Itty bitty garden and ANY pantry in reserve 😊
You did s good job with your choice of meals I also use the Knors all the time as well as flavoring in dishes it makes a nice cup of broth for sipping very comforting.
I have had grilled peanut butter sandwiches and they are good...have you ever had a peanut butter and jelly omelette? It's good too. I too keep liquid smoke on hand all the time. I've been married 55 years and can't remember a time when I didn't have liquid smoke in my pantry. You do a great job with these extreme budget challenges.
I know I commented on this video and must have forgotten to hit enter. Excellent meals. My goodness. My brain. lol... Be blessed always, Brooke & co.. xoxo
I'm so bad for spices I LOVE THEM!!! I have 3 shelves of spices and my home made spice blends....when my kids and now grandkids too kids get out on their own I stock them with pantry items like spices, oils, baking powder, baking soda, vinegars,
Struggle meal for me when my sons were young peanut butter and jelly quesadillas people laugh until they try it! 😋 i love a little bacon 🥓 and pb on toast myself. Havent been to Target 🎯 in years since before they had groceries thats a long time 😂
Condiments from convenience stores, lunch lunes and restraints can help with seasoning. I knew a girl that put all her saved up duck sauce to brine her turkey. I very seldom buy soy sause.
To making the bean dish go even further, add pealed and cut into 4th potatoes, whole eggs 🥚 they will cook in the crock pot, it will be amazing with the meat and spices, the potatoes absorb all of the flavors and it’s a fabulous way to use extra eggs. And a great protein!
Hi Brooke all your dishes look really good. Had a thought the burnt end hot dogs would be good in those BarBQ beans. I also buy a lot of hot dogs pork n beans & I always have onions. I love making beanie weenie's quick & simple throw it all in the instant pot for 30 minutes. SO YUMMY😋 My instant pot is my Best Friend and by the way I LOVE YOUR INSTANT POT I watched all your instant pot dishes so MORE would be GREAT❣️ Keep up the good work will continue to watch you from SC
This is an order video I know but hopefully maybe you’ll get a notification that I sent you that message is it popped up on my feed that’s why I was watching it. I love your channel. Remind you that target is expensive! I am gone grocery shopping once because I had no choiceand wow, it is an expensive store altogether and they think they’re cheap. No, no no no they’re not so I think you did well.
I'm new to ur channel... been here like a week now... I send ur videos to my newly pregnant married daughter... well married a year and due in 3 months. Anyways... what I do is compile everything at either Walmart or Target (now) and have her do a grocery pickup, and I send her the corresponding video... Money is always tight when ur just starting married life, especially with a baby on the way... she lives in Georgia and I'm in Arizona so this is a great way for me to do something for them that makes me feel like I'm saving them money and I'm also teaching her with ur ahhhmazing videos. You should do a series for young newly weds on a tight ass budget... ❤
You are so awesome and so is your family! Love watching and learning! Do the Elvis and put the banana on the peanut butter grilled sandwich. Also smash the carrots put butter and sugar brown or white kinda like you do with sweet potatoes. Could you please make goulash using tomato paste?
Pantry items everyone has, I buy my spices when I see them on sale and depending on the item, I will buy a lot. I use a lot of paprika so I will buy it by the gallon jug at a box store. No one add pantry items to the cost of the dinner!
OMG those pulled pork beans look amazing! Why didn't I think of that before?!?!?! I think I would have baked the potatoes and put the beans on top, like a loaded baked potato 🤷♀Thanks for all the recipes!
I like to use up the leftover pulled pork, leftover beans (from beans & rice meal) , an onion, teaspoon of dry mustard, seasoning & brown sugar mixed all together, maybe add more bbq sauce if too dry, then bake for awesomeness baked beans. Great with cornbread. That’s a minimum of 3 meals.
Show how you can add a couple things every shopping trip to build a pantry as your feeding your family. Only use what you buy on a budget . Keep it going for a few weeks . Week to week you can build a pantry. Show them how it’s done. ❤
Hiya from Lt McBride the Navy Nurse. Been away for a bit... just back home from a quick 3 week Navy Co tinting ED class. gREAT JOB at Target. One of my most FAVORITE stores. Oh, I get in trouble in there.😅 Just a question. Did you say they "overcharged or charged wrong, and that's okay"?? Girl, you should have marched up to customer service and told them!! Bless you. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼PS. I love you peanut butter sandwich. It reminds me of elementary school yrs ago!! 🥪
I keep a well stock pantry and a extra bedroom to hold emergency food and over flow. IT IS SOOO IMPORTANT.

Peace of mind knowing you're set for anything. I've been stocking up for years.
It sounds like you may have an irrational fear if you think you need an entire bedroom full of pantry items just in case.
Your so right!!! We all have our own little ways of doing it and they all work!!! Me if I notice sales I buy the extra few ...I don't have a particular plan though nd rarely coupon.
Omg! I never would of thought to just use an extra bedroom for food storage! Love that idea.
I'm a senior citizen, who has been cooking all her life, and yet, I am learning new things from you. You sure know a lot about cooking for your young age!

Grilled peanut butter are awesome. I also just toast bread and spread peanut butter on it and it melts just like the grilled peanut butter. So delicious!!!!
Between you and the young lady who does Dollar Tree Dinner videos, I eat pretty darn good! 🎉 Thank you for your time and effort to help us all out.
You are so welcome!!
Agree watch both also have a great week
Me too.
Fried rice is best when u refrigerate the cooked rice over night.Then it's so easy to fry up then.But that's the secret to good fried rice

Mmmmm so yummy!!!😍😍😍
Dip it in a scrambled egg and milk mixture and cook it like french toast
Try grilled PBJ with strawberry jam and bananas dipped in milk egg and fried in butter. Your toes will tingle. 😊😊😊😊😊
I Absolutely Love you. You are unapologetic, Sweet and down to earth and your kids is adorable. Love the way they are so eager to try your food. Lots of Love from South Africa.
Welcome from California USA.
I've been stockpiling for a while. It has helped me stretch my food budget. It also helped me from stressing about not having food to eat.
Its a comfort isn't it!!! And I know I can always make a care package when a family member runs short
Brooke
My target is expensive for food. You did good with $25. Not sure I could do that. Grilled peanut butter sandwich. Yum. I recently made a pork shoulder and it made a ton of food. You are amazing with feeding your family.
Elvis liked the bananas in the grilled peanut butter sandwich
If you added green bell pepper to the beans it would be cowboy beans we make lol
Omg ! While you were spreading up the pork, I was seriously salivating ,almost drooling ! My family loves pork..I have learned alot about seasoning from you so budget meals don't feel poor Thank you !
Everything looks really tasty. Liked how you made the baked beans. They looked yummy. I make grilled peanut butter all the time. I usually add marshmallow whip to them. I call them grilled fluffernutters. Take care and thank you for the tips and tricks.
Do you know what I find simply amazing? Watching Dusty eat without getting food in his beard. I'm amazed.
We love grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. After we cook ours we top it with a little powdered sugar and it's amazing 😍 taste like fair food ❤ love you girl you're an amazing human thank you for all your recipes and tips
I like honey roasted peanut butter I bet that would be good to
Dip the sandwich in an egg and milk mixture and fry it like french toast. Works great with cream cheese and jam.
Those beans looked great! They would have been great as topping on baked potatoes
I totally agree with you about Target!! It’s WAY TOO EXPENSIVE to buy food there!! The entire store is WAY beyond my budget. 💕🙏🙏
That's how I feel about Publix. Unfortunately, there are 4 Publix within a 5 mile radius but not another store except Target.
I love your videos and I love your hair because this is how everybody looks when doing serious kitchen stuff. Real life!!! Love it!

Grilled peanut sandwiches are one of my favorite foods weekends at my dad's as a kid he always made them for us
I love roasted carrots. I like to put the carrots and potatoes together on one sheet pan. I season with everything bagel seasoning.
Even something as simple as parsley works. I love roasted carrots

Love how you make lots of meals on a small budget. I love having a stocked pantry and have filled my freezers when I find items on sale.
Those bbq beans look so good 🤤
Ahh, those grilled peanut butter sandwiches would have been even better with the sliced bananas IN them! (and a drizzle of honey!) heavenly!
Heavens to Betsy, you rocked it at Target !! Approved menu too.
My late mama used to grill peanut butter and jelly with banana sandwiches.. it was good!
I must say I didn't think you could do it shopping at target but you did it great video.
I love sweet baby Ray's BBQ sauce.
If you put a damp dish cloth or paper towel underneath the cutting board it won’t slip around
There is one pantry staple which is cheaper for me at Target! The good and gather canned pineapple is less than $1
Hi Brooke
Thank you so very much for these excellent meal ideas it helps so much to have food list to go shop for . Thank you for helping me achieve this from the depths of my heart.❤
Love this series..
Idk if people would find it "preach-y" ??
But to do this AND have a small garden even just 1 raised bed, spring, summer & winter vegis..they could stretch $$ so much further....
And or..do the budget haul and be able to pick just 1 item from a prep pantry per meal! Or both??
From the budget haul you could have left out the..lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers?? To buy more meat, cheese, butter, milk etc..
And ALWAYS have a big, constantly growing herb pot/s!
You'll pretty much always have carrots, potatoes & onions!
Tomatoes all summer..peppers..
Just a thought to show..after this series is over..what's possible with just an Itty bitty garden and ANY pantry in reserve 😊
Preachy!!!!
Maybe a week that does not use rice and beans. Those are the mainstays of every cheap week of cooking. I'd like to see if someone can do it without
Your family makes me smile. Thank you
I love when you use Pinto Beans. That’s what my Mother raised us on.
I would love to see an emergency meals week that didn't use beans and rice
You did s good job with your choice of meals I also use the Knors all the time as well as flavoring in dishes it makes a nice cup of broth for sipping very comforting.
Those beans look bomb ❤ adding it to my menu next week
Dont know about Target in your neck of the woods but 25$ at my Target wont even get you a snack let alone a few meals.
Good luck Brooke❤
Really???
Baked potato stuffed with the bbq🤤
You are so correct. A well stocked pantry and spice cabinet makes all the difference.
You are amazing at putting meals together for your family and good stuff!!
Ask your grandma if she remembers buying tomato paste for 5/$1.00. Yup 20 cents each. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
I remember it being 4/$1.00. Boy I'm old.
I remember tomato paste 4/1.00 and tomato sauce for 5/1.00. Bananas for.10 a pound
Debi, I'm in MS too. Food prices are definitely up here in my little town but not as bad as some of the bigger towns and cities in other states.
I do remember for .25¢ a can
I remember and I'm only 38 yrs old. Stuff used to be way more affordable. Aldis had canned veg fir like 15-20 cents each in 2008!
I do a LOT of my food shopping at Target, although I buy my produce at FoodMaxx and some food and cleaning products at Dollar Tree.
I have had grilled peanut butter sandwiches and they are good...have you ever had a peanut butter and jelly omelette? It's good too. I too keep liquid smoke on hand all the time. I've been married 55 years and can't remember a time when I didn't have liquid smoke in my pantry. You do a great job with these extreme budget challenges.
When I was pregnant I made grilled peanut butter with banana marshmallow fluff and chocolate chips.
barbeque sauce at home- ketchup mustard pancake syrup mix to taste pepper or dash of vinegar if you like- I never buy it.
Thank you! I am enjoying your videos it is giving me ideas and helping me stretch my food budget.
Did you know that rubber bands are great to use to keep bags of leftovers closed in the freezer or clothespins will work also❤❤
Ok, I was confused for a minute because I had sworn I watched this already. 😅
Glad I'm not just crazy.
Pantry items, so important.
I like to mash the potatoes and put the beans on top. I also do this with rice and chili.
I know I commented on this video and must have forgotten to hit enter. Excellent meals. My goodness. My brain. lol... Be blessed always, Brooke & co.. xoxo
Another idea for your last dinner put a lil chili powder in your beans. N Bake potatoes n pour beans over potatoes
I'm binge watching today 😂
You’re a wizard in the kitchen! I love, love your videos!
You make rice like i do. The steamer is great. Try adding sausages on top for that extra rice flavors. Umma taste...
❤ I love u n ur boys honey! Thank you for sharing your amazing food content and ur family with us!! ❤🌷🌞
I’m definitely doing that next time I make a peanut butter sandwich
I'm so bad for spices I LOVE THEM!!! I have 3 shelves of spices and my home made spice blends....when my kids and now grandkids too kids get out on their own I stock them with pantry items like spices, oils, baking powder, baking soda, vinegars,
Struggle meal for me when my sons were young peanut butter and jelly quesadillas people laugh until they try it! 😋 i love a little bacon 🥓 and pb on toast myself. Havent been to Target 🎯 in years since before they had groceries thats a long time 😂
you should make banana chocolate chip peanut butter bread, the loaf would last a while for breakfast and cheap❤️
Impressive how you stretched that 25.00! 👍👍👍
Condiments from convenience stores, lunch lunes and restraints can help with seasoning. I knew a girl that put all her saved up duck sauce to brine her turkey. I very seldom buy soy sause.
❤❤❤Glad to see you using pantry items.
Can do a lot more.
Ive never been to a Target with groceries that is awesome!
So happy to meet you 😊
To making the bean dish go even further, add pealed and cut into 4th potatoes, whole eggs 🥚 they will cook in the crock pot, it will be amazing with the meat and spices, the potatoes absorb all of the flavors and it’s a fabulous way to use extra eggs. And a great protein!
Your Outlander shirts got me hooked on your videos
Kylen is sooo adorable!
I love your message at the end .I see more people Hungry and people with signs that they are hungry here in South Florida.
Hi Brooke all your dishes look really good. Had a thought the burnt end hot dogs would be good in those BarBQ beans. I also buy a lot of hot dogs pork n beans & I always have onions.

a baked potato with the leftover pork n beans would have been good too!
You are amazing love watching you 😊
Hi Brooke try putting a paper towel under your cutting board so it will not move when you uses it❤❤❤❤
Pantry items everyone has, I buy my spices when I see them on sale and depending on the item, I will buy a lot. I use a lot of paprika so I will buy it by the gallon jug at a box store. No one add pantry items to the cost of the dinner!
The gal who does Dollar Tree cooking adds the cost of any spices she uses except salt and pepper
I grew up on peanut butter sandwiches luv them
I just made the BBQ Chicken sandwich and fries for my other half.....
And it was for sure a big 👍
OMG those pulled pork beans look amazing! Why didn't I think of that before?!?!?! I think I would have baked the potatoes and put the beans on top, like a loaded baked potato 🤷♀Thanks for all the recipes!
That’s grilled peanut butter sandwich elevated put the bananas inside and add cinnamon sugar on the outside when frying it lol ❤
Great ideas! Good job!
Good job! Thanks for sharing with us ❤
Great use for left over pulled pork👍🏼
I like to use up the leftover pulled pork, leftover beans (from beans & rice meal) , an onion, teaspoon of dry mustard, seasoning & brown sugar mixed all together, maybe add more bbq sauce if too dry, then bake for awesomeness baked beans. Great with cornbread. That’s a minimum of 3 meals.
BBQ looks delicious 😋 Have you ever ate BBQ on fried cornbread Mmmm its delicious ❤
Those beans are so good! I'm coming back to this video today to make them again with some leftover ribs! 😋
Show how you can add a couple things every shopping trip to build a pantry as your feeding your family. Only use what you buy on a budget . Keep it going for a few weeks . Week to week you can build a pantry. Show them how it’s done. ❤
Thank you Brooke.
The pinto beans and pork looks really good
When I was little I’d make open face pb&j in the toaster oven… pb on bread with dollops of jelly or jam. Delicious 😋
You did that ❤
Everything looks good. Thank you
grilled peanut butter sandwich: I bet it would be good on a George Foreman grill...dts/usa
Pink salt is good. It’s called Himalayan salt. It is supposed to be better than sea salt. You can’t tell the different from regular salt. It is good.
