Hi, new to your channel. I just started budgeting to pay off my credit cards, student loans, & car debt. Your ideas are perfect for me since I'm an empty nester, cooking for one now. Your recipes will help me stay within my food budget & prepare several meals for the week, yay!!!😃 Thank you for passing on some of your earnings to feed those in need🙏

I just wanted to take a minute and say thank you for doing videos like this! I am a single mom and I cook for 7-8 people for dinner every night..I dont get paid from my new job until the end of the month and your videos have been so helpful for me to stay on budget! The burritos in this video were amazing and I didnt have to modify too much for my vegetarian. You are truly a blessing!

I grew up with a Mom who usually cooked Meat, Potato, Vegetable meals. She would include a salad of Lettuce, Cucumber, Tomato and made great Corn Chowders, Baked Beans and the very best Beef Stew and Corned Beef Dinner . But no pasta dishes, chili's, tacos or pizza those meals came later on as food changed during the 70's and convience foods became popular. I am blessed I had access to both types of cooking. And that she taught me to be frugal - I enjoy your videos as they too encourage me to be creative

Personally, I’m not exactly a budget shopper, although I do try 😅 I really enjoy watching for new ideas and such 🤷‍♀️ thanks for sharing 🥰

[savanah]

Love how you encourage us to think outside of the box while still learning from your creativity. Thank you for being a stress free, helpful resource here on YT.

[HazelHammond]

I love that you try new things and you admit that they don't always come out the way you had hoped for. It's real life. that's why I love watching you. Great ideas

I went to Aldi in the next town from me today for the first time. My husband and I couldn't believe the deals we found in there. We got a basket full of groceries for $50. Thanks for sharing!

For the burritos, you alternatively could have shredded the zucchini, sauteed, squeezed the liquid out, and added it to the burrito filling! A great way to sneak in veggies for the people/kids who don't eat them willingly!

Chickpeas are actually great with onions, zucchini, and some kind of tomato be it fresh, crushed, diced, or stewed. And I'm not a vegetarian.

[hollygrimes]

Your creativity with meals is amazing and so incredibly helpful. I’ve been following you for a long time and recommend you frequently to budget shoppers.

I can’t stop binge watching your videos. Love how you never have any food waste by using every last drop (or bite) of your ingredients. Love love love. (Also, your voice is so calming fyi. Haha.) keep the videos rolling! 🥰

[prudencegillaspie]

Love the price and simplicity of your recipes!

[jerrieanderson]

Both look like keepers. Grandkids will love the burritos and I’m betting they will love the pasta. Last week I made your taco pasta (with farfalle) and they were all over it. This is so good, please keep getting recipes from her. You have three young fans here.

Thanks so much for sharing these ideas for budget. I live in Tampa, Florida and I just discovered Aldi's to shop at and Aldi's cut my grocery bill in half. Thanks for sharing and God bless you.
