$1 Dollar Tree Dinners - Unexpectedly Delicious 

Grocer prices are through the roof! I thank heaven for every humble crumb.

Really liking your channel with the mix of Dollar Tree, crafts, cooking. Whatever else you do, please share. I like your humble personality and your voice is soothing. Truly!

Thank you for making good recipes for lower income Americans 😊

OMGOODNESS!!! Can’t wait to try these recipes, they look fabulous! Thank you so much for doing these food recipes first us. I’m 75, live alone and very VERY close to the Dollar Tree. These meals are easy, fast, delicious and will leave me with some left overs( but not a roasting pan full )! 🤣😊

Can’t wait to try these recipes, we are $1,800 in vet bills for our 5 month old puppy that diddly became very ill. That is money we did not expect to spend, sadly we still don’t know what is wrong with him, but gratefully it’s not Parvo! Anyway this means we have very little to go towards groceries, I can’t wait to try the Pot sticker soup, it gives me the impression it will taste like wonton soup. The meatballs, pizza, etc. All look doable and yummy.

I also freeze fresh spinach - it's much better than buying frozen spinach!

I love these type of videos, as a guy who's been broke for a long time, I've never went hungry..

Beef and bean burritos, delish. I pre make and pop in the freezer.

I'm allergic to mushrooms so I substitute on that. I do a quick "stroganoff" meal using Campbell's Cream of Bacon condensed soup, meatballs (or vienna sausages works), an onion, and ramen noodles. I sometimes even add some bacon bits to it. . Another recipe is to use ramen noodles, Campbell's Cream of Chicken with Herbs condensed soup, an onion (chopped and sauteed), a can of chunk chicken, and some shaker Parmesan cheese. My version of Alfredo without the expensive sauce. . I have a quick way to cook ramen noodles: I use one of those trays that are made for microwaving them but don't need the microwave. I put the noodles in the tray and use my Keurig without a coffee pod, and set for 12 oz or the large 'cup' setting (but not the travel mug setting). I let the noodles sit for 4 minutes in the hot water and then stir in my seasonings. They are nice and warm to eat, but not enough to burn my mouth.

Gonna try rice bowl with crumbles and can of beans. Maybe add peppers and diced tomatoes , onions topped with cheese.

the beef crumbles taste pretty much like chorizo. pretty good.

Jamie, I’m a chef and you’re a natural! All looks delicious!

The best kind of DIY crafts editable crafts.

Dollar tree beef patties are surprisingly good

We don’t have dollar tree where I live which is in the Southern Hemisphere and not the same range or variety of processed foods you Americans have but on a budget you can really do a great deal with cheap canned and packaged stuff by mixing it with fresh in season stuff and make healthy great tasting meals at lower cost. I love this type of cooking here.

So glad I saw this. I'm a low low income family right now and this is so great I always forget about dollar tree.

I'm coming to your house to eat! Add a chef hat to your list of talents. Most of all I appreciate your honesty about the product quality. I love your cooking videos! 😊 yummy!

Thanks for the spinach idea! I never would have thought about freezing it myself! ❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing this! This gives me ideas for meals for my son and thinking of ways to make plant based versions for me. With the gnocchi, we have tried it with salsa and it is yummy! When I make my plant based chili, I add pureed pumpkin to help thicken it up. You don't even taste the pumpkin because of the seasonings used. For some of the recipes, I usually make my own bread, cheese, and ground meat. Didn't know Dollar tree started having Old Fashion oats. Those oat meals are also known as over night oats among the plant based community. For me I would use apples that I have sliced, peeled, cored and cut into chunks and sautéed in water until softened, and then added a touch of cinnamon for a bit of extra flavor. With the pureed pumpkin, I would add pumpkin pie spice or the spices used in pumpkin pie. Sorry, just don't like cherries. With the nuts, I would grind them up before adding them, at least until I can get dentures so that I can munch on them again. My son likes to get cheap cheese pizza and put anchovies on them and bake them. He loves stroganoff and makes his own with two different kinds of mushroom soups ( one is roasted garlic), one can of beef broth and a can of mushrooms. Maybe I should tell him about adding some meatballs. Dollar tree also has Plant milk that is shelf stable. Both almond and oat. Don't use the oat milk in coffee. It doesn't mix well with it for some odd reason. It can be used for smoothies and other things. My son likes the sweetened almond milk for his coffee and to just drink. He is not vegan or plant based and likes some of my food which makes it hard for me to have enough leftovers to last about a week or two. Here I am getting all wordy again. Again, thank you for sharing this as it gives me all sorts of ideas for my son and I to be able to get some foods on the cheap whenever possible.Thank you.

Great video, Jamie and thank you for sharing these yummy recipes! 😃 Also SO HAPPY to see that you’ve surpassed 90K subscribers. 🙌🏻100K, we’re heading your way!

Add some Italian Seasoning to the tomato sauce to make pizza sauce.

You should like some of the 3-can soup recipes you can find online. My favorite is fat-free refried beans, broth, and Rotel (or any chunky tomatoes). You can add things like the beef crumbles, chicken, etc., too.

I love Dollar Tree. I will try all of these. Super job!

The Contadina brand pizza sauce, which dollar tree usually has, is really good. It comes in a squeeze bottle.

Oh my, everything looks really yummy! Can't wait to give some of these a try! Thank you Jamie for sharing these budget friendly meals!! I hope you will be sharing some more of these recipes ♥♥

My first time and love your content Jamie. ❤ Peter and 87 year old awesome mom in Florida!❤

We ought to open a Dollar Tree meal Franchise to sponsor Dollar Tree❤🎉😂

This video was right on time. Just this morning i was thinking about a can of pumpkin I have and what I was going to make with it. I never thought about putting it overnight oats. Perfect timing. Thanks for sharing. Love how the meal are quick and easy.

Jamie, these are some delicious looking recipes. Thank you for sharing all these budget friendly recipes.

Everything looks SO good!!! Thanks for the budget friendly ideas!!

Super impressed! These dishes look so good! Thanks for trying out the beef crumbles. I saw these and wondered if they were good. I'll try them since you like them.😊👍

You look like you are a good cook. Everything looked so good.

Everything you made looked delish! Love your DT meal vids.

Best video from $tree meals ive seen in awhile. Looks delicious n economical thx❤

I'm still full from Dinner. Now watching this video, I am wanting to eat again. All that food looks delicious. Thanks for sharing all them with us.

Don’t forget the Italian seasoning on the pizza 🍕

That milk is better than Mayfield It's organic and really good ice cold.

Tried a few of these, definitely good for my wallet and they taste a lot better than I thought they would.

Happy Sunday Jamie and Otis 🐈💙 you sure outdid yourself Jamie you definitely made all these gourmet style for sure. It all looks so delicious with your twist thank you for sharing enjoy and see you in your next video 🌈🦋💙🐈

Great dinner ideas! Thank you so much!❤🍽

I love the beef crumbles

Also with Clark's tomato soup add sage and one Roma tomato cut in small pieces improves flavor

I love the collapsible kitchen accessories. I have the measuring cups like yours. I have a colander recommended by Julia Pacheco. It rests over the sink. Love it! I also have collapsible food storage/ Tupperware containers & mixing bowls with lids I bought on Amazon. We have a small kitchen & had to make every inch count. No pantry, small. We assembled a pantry cabinet from closetmaid on a side wall next to the cabinets that act as a pantry. 86' built house... Anyway I love anything collapsible that actually works. Space saving is a must.

I like your show and your original use of dollar tree products. If you were thinking of purchasing the pizza sauce at dollar tree, please don’t it taste terrible but I do agree with your use of the Hunts tomato sauce. Everything looks really yummy and I’m definitely going to try the meatballs with the mushroom soup and noodles. Well done Patricia from Connecticut.

Hey Jamie! I absolutely ❤’d this video!! I struggle with food ideas and this was amazing!

Thanks for the cooking video cooking!! I worked at Pizza Hut in college and like you not to long.

Great ideas. I'm figuring these meals for the week to be about $70.00 or so? Bargain. Wish I had yt cooks like you years ago to watch and learn. Thanks for sharing.

Another Blessing and good too know for what we’re going to face😢😊🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽,4-26-2024-5:16pm,But God is showing he’s providing away for us😊♥️🙏🏽♥️

That meat chopper tool is amazing. I got one for myself and one for my mom. I have washed mine several times in the dishwasher and it is in great shape.

Thanks, Jamie ❤

Love the spinach idea! I always have soinach die in my fridge 😢 But not anymore! 👏💅😆 Thank you. What great meals from the dollar store. And your hinest opinion is admirable.

They all look good!

Perfect for tacos

Everything looks delicious. I want to try the potstickers with the sauce you used on the pasta that you used the chili sauce. These are really great recipes. Thanks for sharing these ideas.

Great meal ideas Jamie thank you. I have never seen most of the items at my Dollar Tree. But I will keep an eye out for them

Loved this so much!!

OMG, Jamie!! You made me so hungry!! LOL!! These all look delicious and I appreciate your reviews on some of the products.... 🤗🤗👍😁👍😁

They have great stuff.

I love these videos

I really like the meal ideas you created. Know these are easy to convert for people on certain diets as myself. I had never considered buying food at the the Dollar Tree outside of a snack. Thank you 👍

Great tips, Jamie! I look forward to trying some of these dishes.❤

I’ve never added potatoes to my chili but will try it next time

Enjoyed this very much. With so many crummy recipie short videos now I was pleasantly surprised to see some low price one pot meals. Nice variety too. New sub.

Thank you for all the recipes and all your hard work preparing them.😊

If I was still living alone I would definitely take advantage of all of these recipes. I want them right now! But now, cooking for a family of four, I do make similar meals but go about it a different way. My niece told me about freezing bagged spinach and I keep forgetting to do it. It keeps you from throwing out bedraggled greens, which we end up doing just about every week. Great, resourceful ideas, Jamie.

I love this! I've bookmarked it and will refer back to it as needed. Thank you so much for doing the research and the testing and for sharing your results with us.

Thank you fr thee recipes.

Great video, Jamie! More please!❤

Those meals look yummy!!

Just found your channel! Great video on Dollar tree Food items and from a man’s perspective I love it! I 😊I Just subscribed🎉

Hi a tip if don't like soggy crust bake the crust for 5 minutes then add your sauce and all the toppings you want & cook another 8 minutes & perfect every time in my oven I have a GE stove if that helps😊

Like a breakfast bar in a jar.

Yup this are great recipes for struggling families

First time viewer 😊 a lot of these are really good prepper pantry dishes thanks 👍🏻

I seen this exact brand at Wal-Mart for over 3.50 a pack. As well as the meatballs

TY for sharing! These all look great! Can't wait to give them a try!! ❤❤❤

New sub xx love these much love from the uk ❤

Great tip with freezing the bag of fresh spinach! 😍 You shared some really good recipes! Thanks!!

Our local DT has Campbell's tomato soup

WOW, Awesome recipes Jamie, So cheap to make to, they ALL LOOKED SO YUMMY, I am going to try them all of them is a change up, we all look for new things to eat, you are amazing cooking these things up. Didn't take long either. Some of these ingredients I have never tasted so looking forward to trying them. Thankyou I love this kind of video as it gives us new cheap dinners to try. Many Blessings

Thank you for sharing. You gave me a few ideas for recipes.

Thanks so much for the dinner ideas.

❤Enjoyed these recipes. I like the utensil you were using to stir. Very nice.

Instead of the tomato soup use pasta sauce. It works.

I am British, so bacon and egg for me!

Their spring rolls are also wonderful in the air fryer. When we get Chinese take out i save a lil money and make those to go w our meal.

I love the cheddar cheese

HiJamie, Great menu ideas. Can't wait to put in action as I'm meal preppkng. Especially helpful for our busy lives. ❤ Have a great week. See you soon

Thank you for sharing such great ideas. Going to freeze my fresh spinach also. Have a Blessed day

Okay I must say that I buy the flat hard tacos, the soft tortillas, they are really good . However I did buy the milk in the carton bought them before lots of times never a problem last time all of them where curdled. Means they had them standing outside in the sun. So I returned them all. I don’t buy frozen or cold food from the DT . Be carefull with them sodas too

I think I will pick up a bunch of the beef crumbles for my survival stash…

Yet another excellent video! Thank you!

Awesome recipes, can't wait to try them!

Looks delicious! I’d tweak some of the dishes. Thank you for sharing.

Great way to jazz up tomatoe soup, I wil defiantly be trying that idea. LOVE YOUR VIDOES (AND OTIS)!!

I went and got ten of the beef crumbles, it’s good for prepping

They all look so yummy! My Dollar Store doesn't have a fridge or freezer section, but the recipes are still do able!
