How I eat when I'm Broke! Groceries for a Week Only $10 at Aldi No Coupons ! No more eating out!

- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Let's see if I can plan 3 meals a day with absolutely no coupons and only $10. I decided to try this at Aldi. The prices are reasonable and since Aldi doesn't accept coupons I wouldn't be tempted to use any. I had a ton of fun doing this. Let me know what you would have spent the $10 on.

I hope this ends up being a regular series!!! 😁
Me too!!😀
@@meltir183 IKR?!
Me too. Loved it.
Great ideas. This would actually work. You DID kill it! Love that you cooked it all up. It made it real and actually showed us realistic amounts. I'd be sad without any treats but it is enough food for one, even a big eater like me. Fantastic job, please do more of these!
I do, too.
Get loaf of bread instead of hotdog buns. Can be used for hotdogs, egg sandwich French toast, garlic toast with pasta
Was thinking the same with bread. Could have got eggs instead or cereal
LOL growing up we used bread for EVERYTHING
Just read this comment after I said almost same exact thing/dishes lol, could've also adds the bread (or even the cheerios) grounded up into the meat to fill it up/stretch it out even further like you do with meatloaf.
Sure thing. I remember many hungry days that I was so glad to have a loaf of bread so I could use it for hotdogs.
These ladies did do an awesome job despite the hotdog buns
You and sister should do the $10 challenge separately and then see who came up with the more wholesome and versatile meals at the end.
Agreed!
That's an awesome idea
Yes!!!! This!!!!
Yes!!
that would be very fun
I would put the cereal back. Eggs are versatile add a frozen vegetable AND a can of black beans
Or do a jar of salsa and add it into the eggs to spice it up , maybe get some sliced cheese and throw that in but also use it to make grilled cheese
I was thinking the same thing 12 eggs for the same price as the cereal, a loaf of bread which can be used for every meal and more filling then no need to buy milk.
I totally agree.
Rachii B. You still need butter to put on bread to make grilled cheese
$10 not a lot to work with. She did good
Beans and tortillas, frozen veggies, rice and oatmeal are also great choices and come in large quantities. You can prep for the week and portion it all out. Eggs are an awesome choice!
Before we got married my husband ate white rice with butter and sugar
Y'all did great
Oatmeal is so healthy and versatile.........
@@bbowie6250 that's sad. Why not rice and beans?
@@bbowie6250 We used to eat this for dessert when I was younger when we had left over rice after ordering out
I remember when I was broke, I would take whatever leftover cooked meat I had and freeze it. When I couldn’t afford to buy groceries, I would take a bag of frozen spinach, a block of cream cheese and chop up the meat I froze and make a casserole. I’m thankful for those times, because they humbled me and also taught me how to repurpose food.
Definitely great idea;)
❤️
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I remember I did that and burned it. I was so freaking mad and in between blessings. I don't like saying i was broke.
Thanks for that trick!
That's a good idea. I will have to give that a try.
A loaf of bread would have worked for hot dogs, garlic toast, toast, french toast using egg and milk
And you could’ve bought tuna
That's true! It's one of those things I would've thought about after the fact. Lol Great idea
Yes Kerrie! Bananas are cheap and just one can keep you full for hours! And if you bought the cheap peanut butter, you could have pb and banana sandwiches for days!
Yup good idea. I’ve lived on this budget. You get sick of Raman n pasta and have to get creative.
I've lived on $10 budget and stretched to have all food groups for myself and 2 children. They are grown now and have learned the value of a dollar,also not wasting anything.
I totally agree with Tinna Marie. I said the same identical thing, the same thing. I would have grabbed bread instead of the buns and I would have grabbed the tuna.
Anyone who can feed someone for $10 a week with today's prices, definitely has my vote!! I wont complain either! I think you 2 ladies are fantastic!!!!!!!
I definitely have before feeding me and 4 kids not impossible
Great video! My suggestions: Oatmeal or eggs for breakfast. Beans and Rice for dinners. Can spice it differently to make tacos a couple nights. Leftovers and PB and J for lunch. And you probably already have the stuff in your pantry to make pizza. Flour, yeast, canned tomatoes, spices and cheese or cheese-less with whatever toppings you can find in your freezer/fridge.
half a banana sliced up into oatmeal makes a breakfast- a can of quick oats is usually .99 and bananas are usually .59 a lb. it's a cheap breakfast. that's filling
Oatmeal is healthier option to cold cereal 🥣
And you don't need milk!
Yeah get a huge thing of oatmeal
You can also make granola with it and eat as a snack. Also mix with mashed beans for veggie burgers.
Even part of an apple chopped up in the oatmeal. Not to mention that oatmeal will keep you full longer
This just made me want to cry. I know this was a fun challenge and you really did amazing. You probably gave people some hope that really only have $10 for groceries. You did God’s work that day.
I'm thankful
You know what it did? It made people feel less alone knowing others have to shop that way too.
Well said! Might even have enough found change to make it
I'm older than dirt and live on $50/month. So this helps me a lot.
Cry?? Why?? Wow people have really forgotten how to be humble. This is great! And good food! Terrific!
A bag of potatoes make so many things..for breakfast lunch or dinner.🌱
That was the first thing I thought about
I was thinking the same thing. I got kicked out at 16, and lived on baked potatoes and ramen for a while. They go a long way.
Yes my first thoughts too having a regular bread a bag of potatoes you get really creative been here before
Yeah. These are some young ladies who need a few more years cooking and living experience. But on the whole, they did a good job.
Vegetales
I loved this video! I filmed an extreme grocery budget challenge back in January and spent less than $25 for the whole month, so I could relate to so much of your thought process. "I already know I'm broke. I don't want to eat a meal like I'm broke!" Y'all had me rolling! New subscriber, here!!!
There was a time I had to find a way to feed 3 children and myself for $20 a week. We ate a lot of beans, rice, and hot dogs.
Thankfully i no longer have to do that.
I remember a time for hubby, 2 kids and I and I had a budget of $20 a wk. we made it work. Why not a dozen eggs, a loaf of bread vs those buns, meatloaf you can reuse as meat for your spaghetti or sandwiches for lunch, instead of premade sauce get the tomato paste and sauce and your seasonings (the seasonings will last longer and you can use them later.
Yeah me too raman is good to
God is good and you are strong
My budget meals for 3: kielbasi( entire weeks worth multi meal meat cut half then split down the middle of each half and cube) bag of potatoes, eggs,bread, ramen noodles
Breakfast: scrambled eggs with diced potatoes can dice kielbasi pieces into smaller pieces to add toast
Lunch: Ramen can add left over scrambled eggs or kielbosi
Dinner fried potatoes and kielbasi butter bread
Lunch or dinner alternate Baked potato
Breakfast french toast or egg sandwich
Can substitute kielbosi with Spam to stretch even further, small bag of .99 rice and add potato with either meat.
Depending on price in locations an easy $10-20 weekly budget
How did you do that? We spend £80 a week and it still don't last
I am so proud of both of you young ladies. I remember when I had a $20 budget to spend to feed my daughter and myself. It taught me to appreciate and value a dollar. I was smiling when you both decided to make a pasta dish and picked up the corn bread. To this day, I keep jiffy in my cabinet. Peace and blessings. I will share this video with my daughters.
It's cheaper to make homemade cornbread than buying jiffy.
When my daughter was little, I was a single mother and poor. I took a can of tuna and added it to Mac and cheese with a can of peas. Fed us for two days and was $2.00
That is a great meal!
I grew up eating that, or it was hamburger, Mac n cheese and a can of cream soup. That would last a week.
Christina In Michigan That’s it! I was thinking what am I going to make for dinner. Mac n Cheese with ground turkey, cream of something soup and green beans on side 🤗
I still eat that!
Still love that!
My grandmother was raised during the Depression. She taught me as long as you have rice, beans, eggs, potatoes, bread and hotdogs you can eat like a king. So true! I've struggled but never had to worry about struggle meals with this lesson.
Eggs, bread, oatmeal, peanut butter, tuna and milk are my staples when I am broke. Oatmeal with peanut butter for breakfast, fried egg sandwich for lunch, peanut butter sandwich for snack and tuna sandwich for dinner.
If I could afford more. I'd get jelly, or mayo or ingredients to compliment them
Tuna is quite expensive tho around a dollar for just 5 oz that'll last you one meal in the day. Although it's tasty
Make tuna mornay
When I was poor I'd stock up on condiment packets from the gas station. Maybe not the most ethical thing I've ever done, but I like to think I've more than made it up to them with the thousands I spend there each year since! (Besides, if I take 2 ketchup packets but only use one, is that much different than the guy who actually uses 2 or 3??)
Add bananas to that and you can eat them and freeze them for smoothies with the peanut butter and milk. Egg sandwiches are good too. Your staples are healthy and filling.
Oatmeal with peanut butter never thought of that. Thanks for the tip.
This video made me start praying for many people who are going through this right now. I know God's bounty is greater than this, but many are suffering, right now.
You are absolutely right 😩
Amen.
Wait a minute. This is part of God Bounty! I think its great!!
I think you should pray to be thankful and for a better attitude!
@@marthagonzalez5528 This is Gods Bounty! This is great!
Oatmeal is still cheap and it sticks with you longer than cereal.
I need something extra in my oatmeal, just can't eat plain oatmeal.
Exactly
It got me through college 💪🏾💪🏾
You beat me to the punch also oatmeal is good as roughage
I was thinking the same thing.
This video is so fun. Some budget challenges include 'pantry staples' to round out meals and I like how you made yours 'what I buy is what I get to eat.' I left a bad situation at one point and got an 'emergency' food bag from the food pantry. I had nothing else and had to make it work. I learned so much from that experience and am so grateful for the food bank volunteers and those who'd made donations.
This was crazy. Lol. I was yelling at the t.v., "Get the brealfast sausage for the spahetti! Get a 99c pack of fresh berries! Go the clearance first!" It was wild ride! Lolol
Me too lol
Lol I was doing a live stream during a shopping trip during Covid showing empty shelves and my subs were doing my shopping for me lol. Today this would be 40 if on the shelves right? Good one 😂
Yeah some produce.
This is frustrating to watch!
I saw that too! Breakfast sausage was cheaper.
Try to start with dinner first next time. Breakfast and lunch can always be left overs from dinner.
Good point!
Yep
I agree with this because dinner is your most expensive meal and you can mix and match. Go in with an idea of what you want to eat so you can make substitutions but you already know how it all goes together.
Genius! 🤔💡🙌🏾💕
Great pro tip!!
This was great. I need to do this with my son. Eating on a $10 budget. Please, please, please incorporate a veggie next time. Frozen veggies are pretty cheap. Good job ladies.
Canned vegetables are super cheap at ALDI. Green beans are usually about $0.50 and either they taste really good or I have eaten them long enough to prefer them. I've shopped at ALDI for almost 37 years.
I am concerned about no veggies. Maybe a Romine lettuce or maybe glean from the yard. .( Dandelion greens, some of the popular weeds you can eat, a cucumber, or even dumpster dive.)
Lavonne Cozzi No dumpster diving.
Truly! You can eat frozen veggies with eggs, brown rice, pasta or oatmeal.
The only thing I didn't like about this video is seeing how much Aldi prices have gone up since it was made. I started shopping at Aldi's a few months ago. It's amazing how much their prices have increased in just that little time. I like that you show people how they can survive on less money. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
At my local ALDI $10 can get you: rolled oats, 1-2 apples, ~1.5lb bananas, pb, bread, dried beans, rice, frozen mixed veggies, eggs, and tuna (& possibly a box of jello).
Meal Ideas: french toast, oatmeal w/bananas and/or pb, egg sandwich, beans/rice, tuna/rice, veggie fried rice w/eggs, pb sandwich w/banana, oatmeal pancakes w/pb, veggie scrambled eggs with toast.
Snacks: jello, 1/2 banana w/pb, hard-boiled eggs, 1/2 apple with pb, toast with pb.
If you need to eat on a budget, spend a few extra dollars for Tupperware to help correctly portion your food and make your meals stretch.
Tupperware is expensive. But lock n lock is just as good or better. They are freezer, microwave, and dishwasher safe. They are also air tight and water tight.
Dora Permenter you probably have Tupperware from your mom can lock & lock hold up like that
It is expensive but I don’t think she should to use part or he budget for Tupperware she may have some
Missed the r
@@paulatudor691 yes though Tupperware has a lifetime guarantee that lock n lock doesn't. Don't get me wrong, I love Tupperware
Both you and Tiffany were hilarious 😂 y’all commentary had me cracking up! When I was hella broke, I made a lot of soup, specifically chicken and dumplings. It’s basically flour, butter bullion cubes and milk. I would get the cheapest cut of chicken I could get (chicken backs) and my bf and I would eat on that for DAYS. It would double as lunch and dinner. Oatmeal w a banana n a tablespoon of peanut butter is more filling than cold cereal. We also did a lot of stir fry, cheap cut up veggies, sautéed with rice and throw some chicken backs in there. Cabbage is always cheap, cook that down with spices then have herb rice (put some fresh or dry herbs in it) and chicken.
Wonderful! I would recommend a loaf of bread over hot dog buns, because they are both bread and would get more in a loaf: Toast with an egg, sandwiches, garlic toast with spaghetti. You could of got some fresh, small head of broccoli, or a frozen bag for like .88 cent, and a couple of bananas.
I was concerned about the lack of fruits and veggies.
I came here to say this!
I thought the same thing! You have awesome ideas!
I agree the loaf of bread would gone a long way. Usually. 89 cents.
You’re so on point! Agreed
Corn flakes a staple! It’s used versatile- you can use it for breakfast, you can crush it up
and bake it used as cake batter for corn bread or use it as flour for fried chicken or fish. Salsa is also versatile, you can use it as a veggie topping on your eggs, salsa dip or sautéed veggie in your dinner meal. Can’t go wrong with pasta either because you can recreate the pasta after cooking it. Ground beef or chipped steak is a staple in multiple meals (breakfast lunch or dinner). Go cheep and get hamburger patties and chop it up fine while cooking- there goes your ground beef plus you still have burger patties to make either burgers or Salisbury steaks ☺️
Love what you are doing! As a Mexican 1 lbs. Of rice 1lbs. Of beans 1pk of tortillas and some Mexican pasta wish is about .25 cents and we got it made!
Fideo! :)
What is Mexican pasta?
The little short vermicelli pasta?
@@kimbarbeaureads tried to add picture but didn't know how but comes in small bags
Fideos, stars, alphabets and much more bags are about. 25 cents and can feed about 6 peps with one bag
The corn flakes can also be a crushed coating for chicken when baking!
Thanks for the tip will try it I think that’s a great idea
you can also grind up corn flakes or oats if you don't have flour for cookies, replacement bread crumbs, even pancakes! it doesn't always taste perfect, but its a way to repurpose food in case you can't afford to spend extra dollars
Yes! My ex used to make a coating for his chicken out of almost anything in the pantry and it was always delicious. I've seem him use triscuits, potato chips, corn flakes, and all sorts of other odd things that I would have never thought of.
Cornflakes are versatile!! Also saltine crackers can be used to make mock apple pie. Omg I could sooooo help you make up recipes!! Lol
Yes , makes it extra crunchy but good for veggie burgers too.
One person per cart means don't bring your whole family to the store.
Or friends. 1 person. 1 cart. 2 people. 2 carts.
Right. It's not that hard.
I’m not even sure how she didn’t comprehend. 😂
People shopping with their families make the stores crowded. One person per household should do shopping if possible.
Lol
P.S.. I also done canned coconut milk which when you add filtered water to it.. it last much longer and cans run a $ at some stores. I stretched canned coconut milk for over a wk when stored in a glass and put in too shelf where it is very cold in your fridge. Works. You are a smart shopper so I wanted to share this
I make a meatloaf and after the second day I use the left over meatloaf and use it with spaghetti sauce and then I have spaghetti.
I also use leftover taco meat and add it to beans and make chili beans.
I chop my leftover meat loaf up and use it in chili.
I like cold meatloaf sandwiches for lunch. So good! I have made sloppy joe meat and used leftnovers for chili and even spaghetti
That's such a great idea! I like the way you think 😉
@@christinatareski8882 @Dani Dani. All great ideas. We should share more leftover recipes
@@DaniDani-fx5qq We need to share more leftover recipes
The ground turkey roll is like $1.89 instead of the sausage and switch buns for a loaf of bread. You can then make egg sandwiches.
egg sandwiches or french toast
We use sliced bread for hot dogs/sausages in Australia all of the time. I imagine that a load of bread would have been cheaper than the hot dog buns.
I was thinking the same thing about getting a loaf of bread and the egg sandwich.
Tonight I’m making the smallest meat loaf with that $1.89 turkey roll. 😉
Maybe add baked beans to bulk lunch instead of cornbread or make chili beans to go with cornbread p
Ground meat/Turkey can produce multiple meals. Spaghetti, tacos, taco salad, homemade meatballs, meat patties lol
That would be better. I'm very new this channel, so I assumed she doesn't know how to cook. I think meat (even cheap meat) is far more expensive here in the UK than it is in the USA.
It was our Canadian Thanksgiving so I’ve got lots of leftover turkey to use up. It will make so many different meals like turkey a la king, turkey casserole, sliced meat for sandwiches, diced turkey for pasta sauce, turkey chili and nachos and the carcass will be used to make soup. I divide everything into meal size portions to label and freeze.
Indeed! But on that $10 budget it would’ve probably cost too much :( i live in NY and typically don’t get even 0.75 lb of ground turkey or beef for less than $6-7 at an affordable grocery :/
@@pbjt2396 In northwestern Illinois (about an hr west of Chicago) we now have a pound of ground sirloin 90/10 for $5.99. They should think of going w chicken legs/thighs they were .99 cents a pound on sale at our local Jewel stores much cheaper than chicken breast and you can make so many meals with chicken. The chicken/ beef has been alot more per pound up until this past week. Plus our milk half gallon keeps going up during pandemic it was .50 -.70 any type of milk (all priced the same for diff % of milk like skim, 2%, whole) now at Walmart is over .85 cents half gallon at walmart for any type of milk. Wierd how different parts of the country how prices are on certain foods. Our reg large eggs at walmart is around .80 heard during the summer in North/South Carolinas it was up to $4-$5 for a dozen large eggs at Walmart and Walmart brand. We saw huge price jumps on any meats/ dairy/ and all can goods like veges, soups, pastas they doubled some trippled in price atleast.. Along with all pastas. Pretty much anything that would last a long period of time doubled in price if not trippled due to people hoarding alot of stuff.
Aldi’s frozen ground turkey is very good & not watery like some. Good price too.
I am very proud of you two ladies their are so may people that don't take the time, effort and consideration of all the options and really watching your pennies. You two keep on challenging yourselves. Ignore all negative feedbacks. As a wife, Mom, and someone that has always struggled living paycheck to paycheck I am very proud of you. Maybe someone also starting out and struggling can follow you two and learn. You two keep up the good work!
put the buns back and get a loaf of bread. You can eat hot dogs on bread, and then have garlic toast as well as a scrambled egg sandwich.
Get peanut butter and make sandwich.too
I thought that too
I'm sorry people were coming at yall 😭😭😭 so girl ima college student. Idk if you eat oatmeal but you can the whole oats ones that you cook. You won't get hungry quick and it can last a week!! Get the off brand one lol.
I wood of gotten a loaf of bread over hotdog buns. Bread is bread.
Agreed then could have had egg sandwich or French toast if you already have syrup
I was thinking bread too...........you could do a fried egg sandwhich a couple days.........filling and tasty.
@@jeannawalton8107 Yummy !!!
Agreed!
cause with eggs thats french toast!!
I think you did really great. Of course, there are a varietal, and at the same time limited choices a person can make depending on preferences etc. But, you came in under the parameters you set, and made it stretch a week. Total Success!!!! Fun going on the shopping trip with you and Tiffany, too!
Would love to see a $20 ALDI challenge. Even for two people. I think you could do a lot with $20
@j md With $20 I’m thinking Pain Perdu (lost bread), cucumber sandwiches, Bananas Foster, baked sausage and penne pasta, homemade flour and corn tortillas with roasted peppers and cheeses, fruit compotes and toast, white bean soup with jasmine rice, French onion soup with homemade oven toasted garlic bread cubes, rice pudding, bread pudding & rum extract sauce and I would have change left over. You can do a lot if your menu utilizes bulk rices, beans, peas, fruits, vegetables and grains...I forgot about New Orleans style beignets (eggs, evaporated milk, yeast flour and powdered sugar that can be also used with French toast).
I live on 56 a month
Spaghetti noodles-$1 sauce-$2 meat -$3 THATS 2-3 days $1 for bread $7 for a bag of chicken $3 6 cans of veggies and $3 for taxes chicken and veggies is about 3 days that’s 2 ppl my son and I. I’ve done it before
Dora Permenter Now that is a challenge!
Great video!!! Just a thought... you can make sandwich spread with hotdogs, eggs,
Mayo. Grind up cooked hot dogs, hard boiled eggs, add some mayo and maybe some pickle relish.
Bag of dried beans, bag of rice, bag of flour, eggs , potatoes, and cheese.
I would add yeast oil if possible
Bread
What would they do with just flour?
@@AntiqueJeans wtf is yeast oil?
@@krispykreme44baird lol!
Doing this you have to think of stuff like rice, milk, bread, eggs, ect that can be used for multiple meals. I wouldn't have wanted the same meal every day. I would've mixed and matched.
I posted the same thing before seeing your comment! Yes girl 🤗 I totally agree. When I was in college I was an expert in making multiple meals out of the same things. But I would like to challenge myself again now.
Yes! All of those can be so versatile and make different meals with all that. Dried beans or pasta if you have room.
Dried milk could have been a good option, also its not how much something costs but how much per kg something is.....
Look up Depression recipes . My Granny could make some pretty tasty sweets, and food even after Depression was over. History tells us there is ALWAYS going to be ups and downs. In better times, stock up for the bad, if only a bag of pinto beans a month. We can do this!
When you are trying to eat on a very small budget there are so many different ways to save. Like getting a loaf of bread instead of hot dog buns would allow you toast or French toast. Bags of frozen veggies can help a meal go further. You could also consider getting a box of mashed potatoes and those will go a long ways. Plus if you dont use them all, you will have some left for the next week. Just wanted to give you ideas. I love watching your videos!
I would get a whole loaf of bread instead of the buns
I was thinking the same thing with a loaf of bread she couldve had her hotdogs still and used that as a bun made, fried egg sandwiches, with the milk eggs and bread she couldve had French toast. And while fresh fruit can be expensive she couldve found canned fruit in that price range...at least you can in my area
Also couldve made garlic bread with a loaf of bread for dinner...bread is super versatile!
Yup and the bread is only 79 cents at aldis for an entire loaf even the wheat one at least by me...
Agree! You could get a carton of eggs and have scrambled eggs and toast for a meal. Super cheap! That pasta and sauce would not last 7 days for one person. And who can survive off 1 hotdog for lunch.
With the milk and eggs you can make french toast with the bread
I appreciate that you know people might give you trouble because you're still just figuring everything out as you go and you still post it here. It's important for people to see that everyone has to go through trial and error. On YT you pretty much only see the videos where people are experts at it and it makes you feel like you'll never be able to buy enough food for $10 and you're here, like, "heyyyyyy this might work, this might work, oh, gonna go put this back, gonna grab this," etc. Showing people real life; thank you.
Thank you. I'm on disability, and it's always hard to come up with ideas. I appreciate your videos!
I usually buy full-fat milk, then put half of it in a mayonnaise jar and fill the other half with water and then do the same thing with the other half. Still tastes good to me and that method doubles the quantity. If that is too much dilution for you, then do 2/3 milk, 1/3 water. Also do this for coconut water. Feels good to have more for less and like i'm getting away with something. Love your videos!
One person per cart is how they “count” the people in the store. They put 60 carts which was their capacity at the time so each person/shopper should take one cart. When they run outta cart then they at capacity. Basically they wanted you and your sis to each take one cart 🛒✨
Red Chilliz also it helps keep the distance!
Yes, who doesn't understand. One person per cart. Okay, Maybe she's in a brain fog he t I can understand that.
🙂
Smart.
Came here to write this lol
I love this challenge. In the freezer section at Aldi's they have 1 lb. of ground turkey for a dollar and change, much cheaper than the sausage. Also I think it would have been better if you added some fruit and veggies. 1 lb of bananas are $.33 in Aldi and canned veggies are around $.40
Great budget foods that go a long way: white bread, rice, peanut butter, oats, dried beans
For 4mo, i fed our family of 5 from aldi for $45-50/wk. It's possible.
No white bread, get wheat.
Jennifer Clark....thats great.
Tina, yea that wheat bread is good...
Tina in europe white bread is cheaper so I get why she went for white bread.
By buying whole milk you can add up to 50% water and not notice the difference- thereby doubling the amount (except I use it straight up in my coffee)
This video makes me think how much I really spend on food.
@Psalms121 maybe by her eating on budget is how she can get her hair, eye lashes and brows done.
Mandie G Better to spend your money on high quality foods. Your body will thank you later. 🙌🏼
@Psalms121 maybe that's why she is broke....lol.
Who eats 1 hotdogs
I live onn200 dollars for me and my growing son for a month
I would have gotten a loaf of bread, it could have been used for the hotdogs, toast and garlic bread. Also, add some bananas and a can of green beans. You guys did a great job.
Ok 4real💯!! That's what I do till this day still and not that I have to I just choose but especially when my money is tight, you best believe I'm getting a loaf of bread!! Lol
I was screaming get the load of bread!
Hotdog buns, lol. Definitely a loaf of bread would be the way to go. Thankfully she is not really poor. Janice
I’m so sad that only processed foods are affordable. Here in portugal fruits and vegetables are so much cheaper than there especially at open air markets.
Whole foods are affordable here. These girls just went for the processed foods. Lol
Depends where you live, I can go to a flea market and get cheap veg and fruit, but it's not accessible to everyone
@@thisworldisnotmyhome747 Depends where you go. Farmers markets sometimes are cheaper but you go to Whole Foods or markets like that than no not affordable for many.
Elena Antunes in Austria we have Hofer (which I think it‘s Aldi-didn‘t check it). Fruit and vegetables are fresh and affordable and they have sales on the. often
Yes, it is sad that in the US fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood are so much more expensive than processed foods and snacks. That is one of the reasons why obesity is so high in this country. 😕
The other day I paid $11 for one bag of cherries 🍒!!!
Awe this was so fun, you and your friend make it seem like I'm actually shopping. Definitely need more shopping videos
When my husband and I just got married we had to do this. A few cents do matter when you do not have the money.
Hope times are better for yall sis.
It means they dont want 2 people shopping together
Also they use carts to keep track of number of people in the store...covid
I think it's so people don't grab 2 carts like a lot of people will do when their ebt card comes in.
I think it means they dont want groups of people coming in and shopping together if possible. Which is why they said people with assistance needs and/or people with multiple children is acceptable.
@@arlenedorego1277 yes, it's to keep count of the customers inside
it means come alone to the store.... since covid and all
just some suggestions: You could get oatmeal that can be soaked to get "oatmilk" that can be subbed for cows milk (also healthier) and can still be used to cook into other foods after the soaking , & use for the fiber (make muffins or something). OR can put into blender/grinder and made into flour to cook with etc... think outside of the box ladies! (and oats tend to be cheap and fairly good for you). Just as an example.
This is the perfect response. I said oatmeal could be used for breakfast and for milk but you took it to another level.
Grind it up if you can to make oat pancakes too. I think walmart has the better price per oz on stuff like flour, oats ect but at the cost of paying for more. They gotta learn to make their own bread and pasta which isnt hard, but if you have never done it its very easy to miss that you can make a lot of stuff on your own
Whoever said cheese quesadillas aren't a full meal never had a toddler. LOL! Thanks for doing this, it's the reality for some folks out there with this meal budget sadly. Your makeup is always on point!
Always get eggs they can be used for all meals eggs and hot dog scramble sandwich good options for budget living
yeah true. I budget every penny, and I've been using this app called pickl when i grocery shop. Its an app that pays shoppers $5 for taking pictures of products on display in grocery store shelves, so yeah like eggs.
Eggs are kinda expensive though, at least in AU. You won't find a half dozen for less than $3.50
Wow that’s a lot sometimes we can find them for as low as .79 cents it’s the only part of the chicken you can find that cheap here
@@nw8633 At this stage I may as well buy a chicken and let her lay eggs LOL
@@LSgrimm91 Lol amen.😂
Broke people already know what to get on the budget, cause we have been doing it all whole lives. Lol
Looool..exactly
Amen...
I know I could have been making these videos this whole time? Seriously. 😆
I'll make a video about eating tomato soup are made from ketchup that I stole from McDonald's and free bread from the thrift store basket 😆
Amen
Should have bought loaf of bread instead of buns. Would have went farther. Egg sandwich, garlic bread, and still eat your hotdog on bread!
Sheila Posey I used to eat a sliced bread hot dog every day 🤣
I was thinking a loaf of bread instead of hot dog buns too. Great job girls!
French toast too! Egg and sausage sandwich. Or sausage gravy with scrambled egg on side, egg sandwich. Maybe more eggs.
Yes!!! Thank you!! I was thinking that the whole video lol
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. I would have brought bread instead of buns.
I've just watched this video and where I live in Auckland New Zealand, this grocery shop would have cost me around NZD35.00. That you can do it for under USD10.00 is truly amazing. Well done!
Yes I think the impression of US is that the are terrible Capitalistic country where no one can afford to live which is a lie. However now 10 months later we are moving more towards a European, NZ and Australian approach and now a loaf of bread is around 4.00...
This is actually a good start, but hot dogs are something I stay away from now.
I can make a few suggestions, my kids grew up eating home made meals full of fiber and protein. My food budget was about $40 a week and I could do it, including dish soap and laundry soap and snacks, for $15 if I needed too, back in the 90's. Home made iced tea for a beverage, I didn't sweeten it, but you could. I'd make chilli and the leftovers were used for nachos it a pie that I made with a corn chip or corn bread (yes!) crust, with a bit of cheese on top. Mostly you should add veggies, and frozen spinach or the veg you had works. You can make a quiche with the eggs, spinach, and cheese, if you have it, mix it with a half a recipe of your muffin mix; it will separate when you bake it, and make a "crust". Pasta salad with some tuna or less expensive canned fish options, also. Beans and rice ( together or separately) are good sources of protein. And of course, beans are carbs, too. We need protein, carbs and fats to live, just choose good fats. Plain oatmeal is a great food; put whatever you want in it. You can make refrigerator cookie balls with cocoa powder, water, Stevia or a small amount of sugar, add raisins and chopped nuts. Mold by hand, place in a bag and refrigerate. Oatcakes, too. I always kept cans of beans (chilli flavored, too), diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, some cheese, pasta, some canned or frozen veg, and potatoes, even plain boxed ones back then ;you can make a lot with those basics! Nice video. ☺
Wow!! Super Woman!
Thanks for all the advice 💵
Chili is kind of expensive to make on a $10 budget when she still needs breakfast and lunches. I used to buy groceries for the month and only spend $100 for my family and we ate good back in the early 2000's. Meat, fruit, veggies and pretty much every thing was so much cheaper back then. Back then one of the stores I shopped at would have meat specials a certain day of the week and I would go on that day and my gosh I could fill my freezer, fridge and cupboards back then for $80 and I would run every couple of weeks just to get fresh fruit, lettuce and a gallon of milk and would leave Rainbow with a paper bag jam packed full for $10 or less. Back then I could get a 5lb bag of apples for $1.50. Lettuce was like 33 cents. It was all so much cheaper back then. Wages haven't gone up a whole lot since back then either. Many people still work for less then $15. Then add in the horrible prices of rent. Homes have skyrocketed also. I am waiting for it to all crash again like it did back in 2008/2009.
Here's my advice....get a huge bag of rice and beans. lol
Sounds better than hot dogs to me!
And hot sauce
Yes!! I live on rice and their canned beans 🍅 ect.
❤️❤️❤️
😂🤣😂🤣🤣☝
I should eat on 10 bucks a week. I need to save money. Plus I could makes lots of meals with stuff in my fridge and pantry already. I like all your selections this time too. Congrats!
Love the way your thought process evolved! Keep looking at each product with as many options for multiple meals as possible. For example,t tortillas can be a pizza crust, fried for chips, wraps, bteakfast burritos, etc. Tomato paste can be seasoned to make pizza sauce, lasagna / pasta sauce, seasoning for mexican and meat dishes. Keep trying to use products for multiple meals. Use ice trays to make pudding/jello in smaller servings. Always divide meat for multiple meals. Great use of eggs!Great thinking outside the box! Keep going...
Wow so thoughtful when people are going hungry ! I appreciate you ! You are so smart and can help so many people during this time of uncertainty . Thank You God Bless and Stay Safe !
When I was SUUUPPPERRR poor I would get that corn muffin mix and cut up hot dog and bake them all together, it worked hahaha!!
They are good
Elle Whitworth yeah it just like a corn dog but easier! 😃
Oh yea thats a great idea...im gonna try that
Mini corndogs°♡
Yes corndog muffins so good
This was awesome. It's realistic. I have been so broke and had to feed my kids too. It works. Now I can afford more but I still reflect on my budgeting days, so I plan ahead and shop once a month. It's cheaper and time efficient.
When your doing an extreme budget occasionally you have to put aside an extra $20 or so for food. This is to purchase kitchen Staples like butter or oil, spices, flour, sugar. Maybe even dried beans and rice. $10 is doable, but it’s easier if you have pantry supplies and also a little bit of spices goes a long way.
I enjoyed this video...you could’ve also brought a couple small bananas with the change you had left over to cut up into your cereal, just for variety.
brings up the health factor for sure. Sometimes you can get a bunch of over ripe ones. freeze, and use in smoothies, oatmeal, or in banana bread.
Corn flakes are much larger box than the crispy oats. Bread instead of buns and could of gotten a few bananas. I still think you did so good.
Smart!
I like the way you think. If your budgeting down to the penny you might like this app I've found called PICKl, you take pictures of products and the app pays you $5. I'm in college and for me that $5 goes a long way.
I would love to see you and Tiffany 10.00 challenge each other with separate 10 challenge, now that would be really fun!!!!
Yes!!!!
I'm confused..this for both or just one? I can't imagine both for the week with one box of cereal?🙋
Great idea!!
The challenge is $10 for 1 person 1 week. So if you were cooking for 2 people, you would have $20 to spend. :)
I would have gotten a loaf of bread instead of the buns as that can last for a few different meals. Left over bread can always be frozen for another time :)
Also, I wouldn’t get the cereal. It’s not very multi use. I would have bought a large bag of oats which probably costs the same. You can use them for so many things. Overnight oats, baked oats, oat milk, blend them to a flour and make pancakes (as you had eggs and milk) , mash oats with a banana and bake for a healthy snack bar. They’re so versatile.
For the pasta, sauce and ground meat, I would have probably not bothered with the meat and got a tin of pinto beans, mung beans or lentils to pad it out and give you the protein that way instead of the meat. Way cheaper. If there’s any left overs, Chuck in some curry sauce and reheat the next day and make it more of a curry.
For the eggs, if you got a zucchini, you could make a frittata/omelette type thing and have that over a couple of days for lunches/snacks. Can be reheated :)
I would have grabbed some apples so snacking, baking for a dessert, or turn into a crumble and too with some of the oats. Also, stewing them and topping your porridge :)
If there was enough left, a jar of peanut butter! Great to top porridge oats, add to the oat pancakes, add to the banana oat snack bars, smear on fresh sliced apples for snacks, in sandwiches (with fresh sliced apple is so good!) or to have on toast.
Hope some of these ideas might help! ☺️
that's some great ideas ,i am going to try the pancakes with blended oatmeal ,thank you for the idea😃.and also some of the snack bars yummy.😉
I didn't learn anything about a tight budget for the week, from you ladies, but your are both very fun and bubbly and seem super chill. So I'm here for it. New follow! 🤚
good deals but you are going to get food fatigue eating the same things Just suggestions..rice, beans, buy the meat flavored sauce, peanut butter, jelly, bread (sandwiches and French toast) Oatmeal (you can flavor it all different ways) Parmesan cheese, regular cheese.
Rice and oatmeal are good starters, for sure. You can make either of them sweet or savory. Sugar, cinnamon, and a little butter or margarine in rice is good for dessert or breakfast.
@sampson536 and @S H thanks for your variation suggestions to switch up the monotony. I’m thinking rice pudding, yum. Savory pain pardu. I love lost bread.
When I was in college, I had my own apartment and after I spent my paycheck on rent, gas and bills a couple times, I had $10 left. I also shopped there and was able to eat for the week. $0.44 veggies, yes. Spaghetti?! Yes, $0.88 bread!?! Yes!$0.79 hot dogs?!? In there!
I did the exact same thing! I miss it honestly lol
Omg, that is amazing. Why the heck am I still shopping at Walmart??!
Height blood pressure meals 😔
Dainnese Govan you right
Dried beans and a bag of rice are the cheapest things in any store and has more nutritional value than hot dogs. Watch Dining on a Dime on RUclips for cheap meal ideas and cheap living. They have lived it and know first hand how to make a dollar stretch!
Totally. And you can do so many things. A spicy blackbean soup, curry dal on rice, a bean and grain salad.
Dried beans for sure! They taste better, and you get so much more!
Corn muffin,egg and sausage sandwich. If they have bulk bins, sometimes you can get smaller quantities and get extra variety. Sometimes they have bags of mixed veg frozen for inexpensive. Peppers onions etc. Cool that you are doing this. Love sisters shopping and hanging out together.😊 There is show on Hulu called Struggle Meals. Really good!
I love watching your $10 grocery week budget videos. Not everyone has money to spend on food. I like how you talk through options for meals. For those that complain just ignore the comments. Everyone eats differently.
I like this meal plan for the week. I was thinking could have also done a bag of pinto beans that when cooked up makes enough for a week a costs like a dollar and then have some corn bread with that. And then boiled eggs for breakfast with half banana. You can cut each banana in half peeled and freeze the other halves until the night before so they don’t go bad fast. And then for lunch you could have some mac n cheese w/tuna and peas. Just get 1 can of peas to split among the Mac n cheese and 2 cans of tuna. Or you could do some straight pasta and buy butter so butter your corn bread and then use butter to add to the pasta for buttered noodles for lunch with some broccoli and butter on the side
Good ideas...
@Tina Meador Love your suggestion to incorporate tuna. Thanks for your gems. You can’t go wrong with fruit and veggies. And protein...pintos paired with cornbread, jalapeño cornbread. Frozen bananas or even a warm banana compote with rum, vanilla and cinnamon...thanks for the inspiration 🌷
Tina meador beans are good choice because you can fix them so many ways! Tortillas for tacos or burritos with refried beans,beans & cornbread,chili. Another thing with bread versus hot dog buns-there is lb or more in bread but like 11oz for buns. And buns sometimes cost more. Also compare weight in pkgs such as how much weight in cornflakes compared to toasty oats. Cooked oats are so good with fruit,brown sugar,cinnamon,or vanilla & milk. You can also make granola from dry oats. Rice is good choice because it is good with vegetables or beans,as breakfast,& also dessert rice pudding even from leftover cooked rice. Rice,raisins,sugar,cinnamon,vanilla,& little milk is very good!
Rice and beans are also a complete protein.
I would have gotten Rice (can be eaten like cereal), dried lentils (can make as taco filling and soup), eggs, canned chicken, tortillas, milk
Yes, yes, and yes. When you know how to cook the possibilities are endless. I have about 30 lbs each of lentils, split peas, northern beans, navy beans, kidney & pinto beans. Even more rice and peanut butter and a deep freezer full of Turkeys that went on sale during the holidays. We have 9 in our home so we have to always be stocked up for hard times and know how to budget.
Yes! I've even used 1/2 lentils and 1/2 meat to make spaghetti or 'beef' casseroles. Sprinkle a handful of cooked lentils on anything...and you can sprout them to put in sandwiches! Beans are cheap and extremely healthy/
Canned chicken's expensive, but sometimes a deli will go 1/2 price on some cooked chicken...I use those a lot...sop, tacos, whatever. YUM!
I know this is not going to be a popular comment but I started intermittent fasting to lose weight and to control my diabetes. I realized that I didn’t have to eat breakfast and could manage with just two meals. I’ve saved a lot of money, lost weight, got off of medications and eat breakfast food I crave for lunch sometimes. If I only had $10 for the week I would intermittent fast and pick better, healthier options for the other two meals.
I kept yelling at the screen, “SAUSAGE!!! Look at the sausage!!!!” So glad you heard me. 😁
🤣
😄😂😂😂😂
I was too, LOL
Me too!! 🤣😂
I think you did a good job just for the second time. The more you do it the better you become at it. Get the fliers before hand and make a plan. Keep this as an on going series. Enjoy how you and your sister plan the meals.
“If I’m broke, I already know that. I don’t need to be staring at my food telling me I’m broke”. 😂.
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
I appreciate these videos so much. You ladies are doing awesome. The price of everything is going up so quickly, we all need some inspiration to save money! Keep it up!
Broke people don’t go to the store without a plan
its all about the weekly ads and double coupons.
You do and don’t. You plan to get things you absolutely need and coupon shop, and sale shop for the rest. Also check out grocery clearance , and shop dollar tree for things!
@@Kieorasama please do not buy the hand sanitizer from Dollar tree. It's one of them that is on the list of recalled one's.
bleebleeblahblah never said I was buying hand sanitizer.... The dollar tree does occasionally get name brand things in there though. I meant food. Shasta soda, their bread and tortilla’s are pretty decent, chips, ketchup, tuna, spaghetti noodles, cans of sauce, frozen popsicles, cereal, some spices, hot dog buns. That sort of thing. honestly it’s a pretty good place to go for food if your really broke especially since they accept coupons. As far as that sort of thing is concerned, you just have to be smart shopping and read labels. They do sell some weird things but, if you use common sense, you’ll be ok!
@@Kieorasama I agree with you, we get bread there and a few other items.
I'm gonna try this @ my local Aldi.
Either Oatmeal, bag of frozen veggies& fruit, rice, eggs & bag of spinach/lettuce. I dont eat meat so this should actually work 😊
Eggs, brown rice, pasta, sauce, frozen vegetables, beans and broth are all great as you can make multiple meals with those items. You can also pick up salsa or cheese. Even though the cereal is inexpensive you are more limited with options. The items missing are fruit and vegetables.
You could have added the milk to the pasta sauce, make it a "sunrise" sauce to mix up your meals. Just make sure you cook it up till the milk starts to thicken the sauce.
As a single person this was extremely helpful!! All the food would last me over a week... I also only shopped at Aldi once when they first opened here in NJ I didnt know they had so many sales!! Thanks Erika 😊
Dried beans, potatoes these are filling and healthy. Get some fresh fruit and veg. Rice is also good.
mimisavegan yes! Dried beans instead of canned!
Exactly. I was dying they didn't go to produce first! Ugh
And oatmeal..More bang for your buck.
Bimmerbabe produce is kind of expensive tho. Bananas are cheap. And potatoes might be. But most fruit is more.
Brooke Spivey buying frozen fruits and veggies are pretty cheap if your on a budget and they stay good way longer-! Tbh some homemade Chinese food with frozen veggies is pretty cheap and delicious. some dried rice, frozen veggies maybe a sauce if you don’t wanna make it yourself and some cheap beef, boom nice 5ish dollar dinner that can feed a good few people (and rice can be used frequently in multiple dishes!)
These videos make me feel very grateful. Also makes me realize that this is REALITY for so many of us. I love these videos!!! I’ve yet been to Aldis, I want to check it out.
Great vid! You could even had made a couple lil sausage patties and an egg or 2 for bfast w the muffin or used a hot dog bun for toast. Can use a hot dog or 2 and put in corn muffin before baking and have lil corn dog like things. I personally prob would've gotten a loaf of sliced bread instead of the buns bc you get more uses, but hotdogs buns def make it feel less "budgetty". You could've also gotten a banana or 2. My local aldi sometimes has great sales on thing (one day I for the 12 grain bread for 19cents a loaf..) I'd keep my eyes peeled for things like that and maybe had gotten a packet of jello or pudding. Also- check the frozen aisle for ground turk or ground beef. For a pound it's usually more affordable (i cant remember the beef cost, but the 1lb frozen ground turkey at my local Aldi is usually about $1.99.)... I t's SOOOO hard to stay focused at Aldi 😆 awesome job either way- the more you do the more creative you'll get! My Mom always budget shopped when I was lil. And, now I'm a chef, I def think outside the box. Hope to see more of these so others can learn some of these tips!
Breakfast: Eggs, oatmeal, fruit...those can be snacks as well.
Lunch: potatoes (cut and bake them as French fries) small garden salad
Dinner: pasta, tuna fish salad....so many options 😩
This was fun and nerve wracking to watch 😂 next time make a list. You could’ve tweaked those meals so many ways do you don’t get tired of eating the same thing every day.
You cant buy that all for $10.
Use dried onion soup with vegetables oil in a bag. Cut up potatoes in squares. Shake the potatoes in the bag with the onion soup package with vegetable oil. Bake. It’s more delicious than plane potatoes or French fries.
My Mexican self thought about how she can make huevos con weenie for breakfast lol 😆
LOL! yes. bringing back childhood memories.
Yassss lol!
@johanna123 that sounds interesting
Hahahaha omg LOVE YOU for this
SAME
Well, I can't give you points for healthy meals (no veggies in sight 😆), BUT you did accomplish the mission! Well done!
