I work in a food factory, Great Value is 100% made the same as most name brands.

Julia - we literally only have $25 this week for groceries.
*AMEN~ YOU JUST SAVED US ~ God Bless the Pachecos*

People bitching about “processed foods” and all that have never and will never understand what it means to just HAVE edible food. I grew up in a trailer where we didn’t even really have a stove just a microwave. My meals as a kid were commonly just a microwaved can of corn or peas. You use ingredients in the forms I’m familiar with and it’s so amazing that I can make actual hearty meals from them. I’ve been looking for someone who cooks like this. Thank you!!

I remember growing up my mom would go to several different stores to grocery shop cuz she got coupons and things and I think we are going to have to revert to that again.

Watching Julia approach a million subscribers is so fun❤

I want to thank you from my heart. These budget meals saved me and my daughter through some hard times. Even now, I fix these dinners. I do modify them as I have the money. For instance, my daughter loves the Chicken Noodle Casserole, but instead of canned chicken, I add some Limon Pepper baked chicken and fresh celery. That one casserole will feed us for 3-4 days. I did finally get your cookbook. I do find it difficult to work in new dishes because we have so many favorites from the budget dishes. Thank you so much and God bless you.

I work at a farmers market. Any "bad veggies" get tossed. Me and a coworker will go thru the boxes of "bad veggies" and take what we want and can use. And when I say "bad" i mean one of two soft spots. Definitely a nice bonus to have access to free fresh produce.

[donnawisner]

I think the trick is to have a menu for the week then go shopping with the budget. It's amazing how all those meals were $25. Thanks Julia

[jillgott]

Terrific recipes and lots of veggies. I am tired of " budget" videos that stress adding more carbs to fill in a meal. You have proven it is possible to have a nutritionous meal which includes veggies, protein and carbs

[booger]

This is a tremendous help in times of the highest grocery prices we’ve ever seen. I appreciate you and the magic you create in these yummy affordable recipes ❤️

[ashleehouse]

I get burnt out trying to figure out what to make. These are quick, easy, and never require special ingredients. Love it. Great variety!

[kat-napzzz]

Just an idea for someone doing this. If you find kale cheap, it could give you a side salad with the carrot and onion. Kale would also give you the option of adding Sausage, kale and white bean soup as another meal option.

[ambernicrn]

This is my favorite yet! Low meat, high in beans, moderate carbs. Everything looks scrumptious! Thank you for providing reasonable options during trying times.

[Fydril]

I have been watching your videos for a while now and can say without a doubt, you are my favorite. I am a bachelor who is always on a budget and was tired of cheap bland food. I cook more than I ever have and have enjoyed every recipe I have tried that you presented. What I appreciate the most is the care you have for everyone. It reflects in your demeanor and in the food you cook and the recipes you show us. I just bought your e-cookbook and look forward to many many more great meals. Thank you so much for who you are and what you do.

[lruss]

As a single senior you show me all kinds of ingredients I might not think of! Thank you!

[michellehasty]

Julia, you have outdone yourself AGAIN!! I don't know how you never run out of ideas for recipes. I'll be trying some of these immediately! I look forward to your videos every week and am so happy that it's always easy to find the ingredients, easy to put them together, and they turn out very tasty! Thanks SO MUCH for sharing your hard work with all of us internet friends. ❤

[rachelmcgill]

Perfect Timing: we moved our college-student daughter into her own apartment last weekend, so we are all on a budget! Thank you, Julia! ❤

[rebekah]

Wow Julia, I’ve been watching you when you had around 50, 000 subscribers and remember thinking you deserved so much more. Now I see you’re close to a million! You’re helping so many of us ❤

[vikihoover]

Girl! You are absolutely brilliant in the kitchen. You have so much creativity and your ideas are so good. I can't thank you enough for all of the hard work that goes into making these videos. The planning of the meals is what I'm so very thankful for. I have zero creativity. Keep up the good work, Julia.

[Growstuff]

Julia, you are a blessing! Many people today don’t know how to cook frugally.
