exactly. and not everyone can shop the same. i'm very good at saving, and the biggest reason why is i have storage, and cooking equipment. i've had to budget living out of my van before, or even my car, or at times without any shelter not provided by me finding one nomadically. each of those situations was so incredibly different how i ate, what i could eat, store, and prepare. when i see these videos, it's just interesting to see how people elevate the cheapest foods with the least amount possible. and as they say, hunger is the best seasoning sometimes.

I know that's right

The problem is last time I went to a Dollar Tree the groceries were much more expensive than if you just went to the grocery store. It's a convenient store more than anything.

@@horatiohornblower3757 bro the groceries are 1.25 like everything else

I respect everything this dude does. This is how i made it through my twenties. You learn a lot being broke

Shit was cheap and good the poor mans shepherds pie

Redneck shepherds pie.

Cottage pie

Not a Shepherd's pie if Lamb wasn't the meat.

@@amanda-janekiell2514 grow up

If you’re broke and hungry while hustling everyday then you need a different hustle

You're ignorant asf ​@@Birdlegs14

Maybe it’s the “hustle” that has you broke and hungry

@@Birdlegs14right?

What if you're just hungry from working all day ? 😊never broke

Dollar tree is a lifesaver for a whole lot of folks. Including me. Thank God for 99 cent store and dollar tree. They got here at the right time!

And you can get a small cast iron skillet like he's using that would be perfect for 1 to 2 servings. You could cook every on a hot plate and pop it in a small toaster oven instead of the regular oven!

@@goldengirl478 I remember when dollar stores use to be a dollar though. Hopefully it isn't like this everywhere but in my location its 1.25 now. Still amazing to have don't get me wrong but it did use to be even cheaper lol.

I haven't seen that face used in over 10 years wow

What do you make? I’m Mexican and just from experience it seems like beans would be a great cheap food, I always thought if I needed to live frugally I’d jsut eat beans and rice

@@Bigmeatloverpotatoes too!! Vegetables and fruits are pretty cheap. I get all purpose flour too to make empanadas de papa as well when I run out of tortillas. Somehow I’ve ran out of both while I still got potatoes so I’m gonna have to go to the store soon 😂

And yet he couldn't respond 😢

God bless you and yours.

Sheppards pie?

Lmao you do realize culinary school means jack shit 😅 all you did was learn techniques, conversions, and follow recipes 🤣🤣🤣🤣 any pro chef/ restaurant owner knows you take the dishwasher/prep cook with a ged over the Le Cordon Bleu graduate

​@@ssom06man that's what I'm saying I been cooking professionally since I was 17 we hate people like this, I went to cooking school when I was 19 and dropped out 2nd semester it was so useless basically what your mother teaches you on thanksgiving 😅

What kind of sentence is that? As a former culinary student? You're using this phrase like you're highly experienced in cooking or something, that's like me saying as a Former Physics student in highschool I approve of Albert Einstein's theories

They didn't take your kidney?

Yes..saaagee..sage 😂

​@@patricialaichour9589thanks I was trying to figure out "sacky"

Ikr most food KZfaqrs make some of the most expensive stuff and some of them get aggressive about lower budget meals

Processed prepackaged junk is a waste of money, taste, and health.

@@xipalips People gotta do what their budget can afford to survive. You’re blessed if you’re able to always purchase fresh☺️🕊

​@@xipalipsi don't disagree with you but the whole point is to be cheap

Just gotta be mindful of the lean and fat ratio they have. If you find one too cheap then it's mostly a sea of grease when you cook it and even if you try to remove the fat, the beef takes a while to properly brown

Keep about 12 in my house

I love these (the cheesy flavor) more than homemade mashed potatoes

Youre a joke

They make a good thickener for soups and stews. Almost better flavored than a flour roux. But you have to be cautious with the amount you use or it will be WAY too thick!

​@@scorpion-lg4ic you need some real mashed potatoes in ya life. You just ain't had em made right. Yo grandma was slacking

I thought I was the only one who noticed I don't even remember watching it but as soon as he made that voice it hit like a truck

Just thought about Charlie and the liopleurodon the other I was like where did that come from

Always nice to see a Charlie reference in the wild. There’s dozens of us who know the truly great Charlie meme.

Same lol.

Was pretty surprised at it since it's been more than 10 years.

I know, it was great!

This similar to the way you make lemon meringue pie and you stick the fork up against it to make those peaks that get crispy and golden

Poke a few fork holes at 45° sparingly to increase fluffyness

Yup

Holy shit what an amazing idea 💡

Thank you, I appreciate this. I get expensive meet and always feel like it comes out dry and chewy. I'll try this next time.

Oh wow. A tip I might use! Ty

Never had that problem. I don't stop chopping my meat till it's done.. I'll give it a shot once though... Definitely have to spend the extra cheddar for grass fed ground beef... Still would be less than 10$ per meal!!!

Draining the water will help the beef cook by frying instead of steaming which adds a ton of great flavor.

@@tristinyaeger9222no, if you cook off the water it gets way crispier and better, no reason to drain it early

You’re gonna boil your hamburger leaving all the water in there. Just saying.

@@ZucchiniSlayer its way more efficent to cook off the water naturally instead of taking it off the heat to drain the water, and then putting it back on and having it have to heat back up, plus you drain off the grease which actually helps it get crispy at first before you drain it

Shepherds pie is made with lamb. This is cottage pie because it’s made with beef

@@anthonyberry1314we know and they probably do too

@@colbyfaw5353 they probably don't.

@@colbyfaw5353they definitely don't and I bet you didn't either lol

Yup! Me too! Know what I started adding? Cream of mushroom soup with the brown gravy... Yummy....! 😋

You're definitely not supposed to put tomato soup in shepherd's/cottage pie.

Yup

Same in Mississippi!

Technically it’s actually cottage pie. Because Shepards pie is made with lamb ,not beef. So if you make it with beef it’s cottage pie 😂

Actually, I’m from Canada and we don’t call that shepherds, pie week all that cottage pie, hence shepherd so I’m sure you get why it’s called shepherds pie 😂

We do too but remember cottage pie is with beef and shepherd's pie is with lamb

“It’s not Shepard’s pie cause there’s no lamb in it” - 🤓

Cottage / Shepherds Pie don't have cheese on them, but sure is a nice touch.

​@@jbsimmons54or tomato fucking soup.

@jbsimmons54 that's just pointing out something stupid. People will add extra things, doesn't really change what it is.

​@@jbsimmons54 you're wrong, they both do have cheese. Usually it's parm mixed into the potatoes so when you bake it, the mashed potatoes gets a nice crust. But as someone else mentioned, you can literally add or take away whatever you want. That's the joy of food. Making it to your taste❤

I was wondering wtf is Saygie?

@@lillybelle544 sage is an herb. Usually used in like stuffing and stuff like that turkey different types of fall dishes with butternut and what not but it’s just an herb.

Hahahaha I caught that one too! 😂

The fact that I almost did a spit-take at that shows *WAY* too much about the kind of trash life I used to live. :sigh:

That's because the managers generally decide what moves in their store and they stock accordingly. Ask for what you want stocked and you may get results!

yeah, but the point is if you dont have the money to go to wal-mart, or cant affort a costco membership like, the "i only have .75c in my bank, and $15 cash" kinda broke
