Bulk barn is my saviour.

I'm still waiting for the episode where Frankie explains which ingredients to mislabel in the bulk isle for savings

It factors in the inflation rates 😂

Brown sugar never had the molasses removed.

okay Adam Ragusea

@@cryptooooooooo I did, in fact, learn that from him. That guy is some kind of genius. Have you tried his oven fries recipe? Amazing.

probably to save money. molasses is kinda expensive. whenever i do baked beans i skip the molasses and just use a lil extra brown sugar cuz a jar of molasses is 3x more money.

Looking forward to this meal. Ty.

It baffles me that people have even said that lol

That initial $100 investment can be too much for some people. It can mean the difference between not being able to pay rent. That said, you can buy a pan at a thrift store for $5, and you don't HAVE to use all those spices. I think the real issue with not being able to cook is time. If you've got 3 part-time jobs and you're just barely managing to keep your bills paid, then you don't really have time to cook at all.

The thing is, for most of the items Frankie is talking about, you can't buy *just* the portions he's talking about. Like, you can't buy *just* 1/3 cup of half-and-half, or *just* a dollop of mayonnaise. Sure, some of those items will last a while (like the mayonnaise), but some won't (like half a red cabbage). You can't say, "I want dinner -- I'll go out and buy $3.00 worth of ingredients and make something." You have to buy the WHOLE cabbage, the WHOLE container of cream, the WHOLE package of chicken. That adds up. And unless you really know what you're doing, you'll have food going to waste. I've been batch cooking for a year, and I STILL find it a struggle to ensure I use up everything. (What do I do with the other half a can of coconut milk after I make the curry?! What do I do with the rest of the package of celery if I only need two stalks?! How can I use up the remainder of my pumpkin pie can when I only needed three tablespoons?!) Is it POSSIBLE to perfectly use up absolutely everything, absolutely every time, so you're getting 100% value out of all your ingredients? Sure. Is it EASY? No.

@@juliegolick I see what you are saying and I have learned to freeze things so i won't waste. I use the frozen within 3 months. If its wrapped properly people would be surprised how long things last. I even freeze citrus,hot peppers and ginger now. The prices get so outrageous that I buy on sale and put small portions in freezer for when it skyrockets.

L Blake I do this too. Even tomato paste- in 1 tablespoon sized dollops, later tossed into a zippy bag. I do this with everything! Celery or mushrooms I sautè and freeze. Just about anything can be prepped for freezing ✌️✌️✌️

maybe it's delicious if you've never ate anything good before

Different fast food places put out different varieties of condiments. Chick-fil-a, Zaxby's and KFC are some of the best to get these. Bojangles has margarine. Depends on where you live.

Sarah Berrien He has his own- Frankie Celenza.. ✌️✌️✌️

Also your channel reminds me of brothers green

This series is about cooking meals that cost about $2 a serving. Watch some of the other videos if this is out of your budget. Some are less than $1 a serving.

Lots of people do, and they always feel like trash. I mean, if you can find a 29 cent taco deal, go for it. I'd rather eat home cooked food than a cheap burger every night.

Potatoes are great. Why make them forty thousand different ways? Because in any form, it's still a potato and still great. Same goes for cauliflower. Expanding horizons beyond plain cauliflower means more options 😁
