What should my budget be for my next budget video? Give me a total for the week or a total for the day you’d like to see me use!

Preach!!! I remember being a young mom and my husband was new in the army. We ran out of food twice. We had food for the kid but not for adults. Feeding your kid crackers because that’s all you have. Never happened again. That’s when i started budgeting better and put 4 days worth of meals using non perishables in a bag in my pantry. It was oatmeal, powdered milk, tuna helper, tuna, canned veggies, canned fruit, raisins, a sandwich bag of rice, a sandwich bag of beans, noodles, spaghetti sauce, crackers and peanut butter. It came in handy more than once.

Love it. It’s funny how people will complain about things like this but not say a word about a cheap $1 fast food menu with far less nutritional value.
Great work!

So helpful, being in debt is NOT A JOKE and takes huge effect on mental/physical health....
It's not extreme cause you are literally saving peoples lives by sharing your experience.
I can't wait to try this!!! Seriously, most of the world is lucky to be able to have 1 meal a day, so its a luxury to have this.

I love your channel for plant based inspiration.
Keep being you. Don’t worry about getting negative feedback about kitchen appliances.
I was once inspired by a frugal living YT to go to a thrift store and found a waffle maker, that was a decade ago!
People need to start thinking outside the box and their comfort zone. You never know what you might find!
My mom had a crockpot and an electric skillet she recently dropped off for me. If I hadn’t told her I was on the lookout she never would have known & would never would have received a freebie blessing.
You are an inspiration to this 50+ obese woman on a health and wellness journey. Down 60 pounds in 10 months 🙂

My ex deceased husband was an alcoholic and I remember being so anxietous all the time trying to feed my family. These tips would have helped.

I wouldn't mind making a soup with those ingredients and eat it all day long... they are perfect

U need to mix in an egg into mash potatoes to hold together for better pancakes, a better pancake is 1 banana + 1 egg. My low budget meal is Lentils (+salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, tomato paste) or Lentils & Rice (+salt).

I love your extreme budget challenges! We're heading for uncertain times in the world. Sharing your knowledge of what to do with a few ingredients for the week is a great gift! Thank you again, Miranda!

I'm 67 and disabled. My food stamp allowance is $30 per month. I have no air fryer or food processor. Elderly folks have pain from lack of healthy food. This is going to be a challenge.

Vegetable prices are expensive worldwide.
In Australia fresh potatoes 🥔 are the norm and cheaper. Boxed mash are difficult to find and small packets.
Leftover cooked potatoes are versatile and as kids we ate a lot.👍
Nice video

These recipes are very creative! Well done!

Hi new to you love from U.K., A very good challenge well done .x

[PaganPrincess]

I just found you today on 03/09/2024 and I am so grateful! We are really struggling and this is giving me hope! I noticed your canned items were from Winco, I've never shopped there before but I'm gonna give it a try!

[olpiohc]

New subscriber. Terrific video! I'm getting through a very tough financial crunch so I don't go into debt. Finding videos like yours provides a sense of optimism and community for a situation that can feel depressing otherwise. Thank you! I look forward to seeing more of your channel.

Good on you to tell it like it is. I’ve been hungry as a young teen and adult. Sometimes you just need calories to make it through the day. Anyone with any criticism can add 3$ and buy some frozen veggies. I’ve done the plain with water only potato pancakes on my George Forman and they were delicious. I even used them as a “bread” for veggie burgers. Thanks for the video!!

So funny to see this! When I was in college, 1969 or so, my apartment mate and I bought a book on eating for $1 a day. We followed it pretty faithfully, even having a steak once a week. It's amazing what you can do when you commit to a program. With today's food prices, it's got to be tough.

[yvettebennett]

You're so creative Miranda. It's a shame people make such rude comments about these videos. Some people just dont realized getting food in bellies so people dontcstarve is more important than the perfect balanced meal.
Black bean burgers. I want to try them. Thanks for the inspo.
