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

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.

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

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

Yes..saaagee..sage 😂

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

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

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

I know, it was great!

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 could serve you a hotdog smothered in underwear. js

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!!!

I pmsl at his comment 🤣🤣🤣

I heard his pronouciation of sage and thought surely he's gotta be joking... 🤔⁉😮⁉🤔

Captain obvious

Maybe Salt, Pepper, Garlic?

they're never gonna listen, they never care :(

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

You can get up to 100K for selling your foreskin, maybe eve more if you sell your babies... Not their foreskin!

@@v4v819 ?

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

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.

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:

“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❤

Yeah, prices are brutal these days

Omg the charlie reference😂

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.

😂😂😂😂 I’ve never in my life heard that!

Is that a known saying where you live? Because I seen someone else say this exact same thing in another comment section a while back... Unless that person was you 😂

I have starved , really starved, this looks Grand! Yes a turd is nice thing pass. Be careful if you're going back to solid food from starvation, your gut can't handle it. You can die, ask all the Jews in WW II , a lot of them didn't make it, food can kill, even with best intentions.

@@Natasha___. that is a known saying amongst the poor community.

@@christinaburke "the poor community" 😂 well we were poor, but I'm from Scotland so I've never heard of it before.

Cottage pie

Common mistake. Shepherd's Pie has Lamb in it. Cottage Pie is when it has beef.

Don't care, it's shepherds pie now.
