I am so relieved that you are not like Alicia from the Dougherty dozen Your KZfaq channel is so refreshing as a family channel.

I think it’s nice that your family is not afraid to get in the view of the camera. Makes it relatable.

Polish sausage, sliced into coins, stir fry, and add bell peppers (all colors), sliced, sweet onions sliced, and add garlic powder and seasoned salt. Serve in a bowl or on tortillas. I eat mine with yellow mustard, but the hubby eats his with bbq sauce 😋 fast, easy and cheap 😊

This just goes to show that you are an amazing cook. It's not easy to put a meal together using food from one store that isn't actually a supermarket. You are awesome and inspirational.

Dollar tree has some hidden gems. They need to go back to a dollar though because I call it $1.25 tree now.

You are “killing me” using Your shirt sleeve as a pot holder .. LOL … I JUST ADORE YOU !!! So down to earth ! I’D LOVE TO MEET YOU

Great job. Blessings to your family in Jesus’ name.

1 for team hair down! BUT you're fantastic up or down!

The meal looks great. Heather you do look younger with your hair down. You and Luke are raising such amazing kids/ young adults. You have one amazing family

I wouldn’t call your family crazy, from watching your video you can see all the love and joy within your home. ❤️❤️🙏🙌

Really cool showing viewers dinner not judt buying stuff

I'm sorry i had to LAUGH when Luke gave you his opinion..😂 😅 😂 😅 😂 We NEED more of your hubby LUKE!!!

What a blessing to have a family of 10 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'd say you nailed this challenge. The dinner sounds fantastic! Their Egg Rolls are phenomenal, especially the Lobster ones. Terrific haul!!❤❤

Yes. You look younger with your hair down😊

Hey my sister,when she does stir fry. She buys egg roll wrappers. But she cuts them in strips and fry’s them like that, and put them on the side so you can add them to the stir fry when you serve it. Yummm so good

As I walked the Dollar Tree with my daughter, I checked out the food section. While it's not always the most healthy choices, there are many affordable options that are filling and fairly nutritious. If your Dollar Tree has a frozen and refrigerated section that really opens up affordable options. For those in areas where a typical grocery isn't available, the Dollar Tree is often the only shopping choice for them. I found a great selection of dried beans, rice, pastas, oats and grits. There was canned water packed tuna, salmon, mackerel and even canned cooked beef in broth and cooked chicken in broth. Staples like oil, vinegar, flour, sugar, spices and other essentials were also available. Our store has a great cold and frozen section, too. Lots of veggies, fruits, bacon,sausage, ground beef or turkey, milk, eggs, cheeses, etc. I did see things I could get elsewhere for a cheaper price. But if I didn't have transportation or another store near me, I could definitely find plenty at the Dollar Tree to feed myself or my family. Please don't judge those who struggle to get meals on the table whether due to lack of transportation or money. We all could be in those shoes at any given time. Believe me, when your kids are crying because their tummies are empty, you don't care where the food comes from as long as you can't feed them.

Pretty in pink!! And I saw the Oreos and thought nooooooo she’s passing them lol. I’m glad you found them.

My heart sank when you cut up the egg rolls, I’d so rather have an egg roll, in its natural form to go with my stir fry veggies and rice😋

I had a cousin that did masonry cement work for a living & I remember how give out that he was when he came home from work and I love seeing this type of stuff with Brother Luke playing with the kids!!! I love how dedicated yall are to all ur amazing great kiddos!!! Love Y’all & wish I lived closer to y’all so we could be bffs really love y’all 😂❤

I was thinking like Spam or tuna or chicken.......and boxed pots or noodles, veggies, dinner rolls and dessert cupcakes with decorated tops. Fun to prepare a meal from $ Tree, ha!

Not bad for Dollar Tree so that's about $4.40 per person and that includes a dessert. I don't like soy sauce so i use sweet and sour sauce. I agree crisp up the outer egg roll. Can't wait to see the next Dollar Tree meal Blessings to you and your family. 😊🇺🇲

You should have added scrambled eggs to the fried rice😋

I get the polish sausage, Spanish rice and black beans and cook in my rice cooker or big skillet.

Ok couple tips here from Scotland U.K. make sure oil is smoking hot and add your garlic /ginger etc before adding a day old rice to stir fry , cook your egg rolls rolls till crispy in oven or oil then chop them up and add at the end ,. Sesame oil also makes a difference , don’t let water into your stir fry so buy fresh veg if possible, my husband is Chinese btw , lots of love Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 UK xxx

Dollar tree has really gotten better with their food items, esp the variety of snacks. I like picking different things for a 1.25 every time i go. I have found so many different things that i would normally never see and/or buy from the grocery stores.

Say hello to your kitty friend, she is saying hello to you! :)

I’m so excited for this video. I hate spending money so I’m always looking on ways to save money.

Luke had a GREAT IDEA!!! Heather you put your hands behind your back. And let Luke use his hands...lolololol

We make smoked sausage (cut and browned in butter, oil, or bacon grease), then add the pepper and onion blend bags and the Normandy blend. These can be all cooked in a skillet or combine all in large bowl and sprinkle in oil and add garlic, onion, paprika, and any other spices you want, blend well and put on foil covered sheet pans and cook until everything is cooked. Then however you cook them add rice to serve with.

I'm so excited about this video. Hope you share more like them. The meal and dessert didn't look bad. I've seen worse.

I just found your channel, and I love it! I subscribed right away! I love how I can get ideas for my stockpile, and get more tips with being frugal. You're Awesome!

I think it looks good either way! You’re beautiful either way!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

I am so glad your video popped up on my feed, I have enjoyed watching your videos today!

Heather your first dollar tree meal looked delicious. I love your family!! So much love and happiness in your house. You do look younger with your hair down, but I’m 53 and love to pull my hair up too. It’s a lot easier.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Luke is sooooo funny 😂 😅 😂 need way more of Luke!!!

Your husband saying something in it is rubbery was hilarious. I adore your sweet family.

My husband loves DT Spring rolls.

I love how the men started coming in the kitchen when that food started cooking and smelling good!!!! Lol 😂😂😂😂 they ready to eat ❤❤❤❤❤ I’m a new subscriber and I just subscribed!!! So I’m learning the family! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I love your heart sweater. You do look young with your hair down.

❤❤❤ good job momma bear you made a meal for your fam😊😊😊

Just put a lid over the skillet for like 10-15 minutes to thaw the frozen veggies, so they will not get too broken up. 😊❤

Happy Monday…I absolutely love you and your loving family…I like that you enjoy exploring new recipes too…It is a fun adventure…You are special for embracing your followers recommendations/suggestions which is awesome…I think you are beautiful inside and out…hair up or down…Thank you, Heather for sharing a part of your life with us…Being from Michigan and having a girlfriend and her adult children living in Sault Ste. Marie and Marquette reminds me of my fun times with her since I miss her… Michigan is so beautiful which will always be my home sweet home…

In the end husband's opinion was the honest and most important one... Love your video from Indonesia 👍🏼

The pack of little spring rolls are amazing. They are a staple in our freezer. You get 8 in a pack but they are little. All veggie and taste super good.

You are the modern day proverbs 31 woman! Thank God for your example. Be Blessed!!

Your kids are grown 😊

Yes you do look younger but you look great either way. Your choice girl.

Lol when you said "idk why im yelling" nice meal! my kids love dollar tree

Could add eggs...just do a chop scrambled in small bits in the wok for going with like a fried rice version too. Get more protein for those big boys. And eggs, well you have plenty of those! 😊 My kiddos favorite dollar store meal was either 1. the Banquet brand family size Salisbury steaks in brown gravy. Get 8 steak patties- 2 per person sized. (We were a family of 4) it was under $5 but that was like over 8 years ago. My kids are grown now. To go with it, I'd get 2 instant mash potato packets. Brand that comes in a redish brown packet that says creamy butter flavored. Their other brands were not good & grainy texture. Then I'd grab a bag of sweet corn & a package of brown n serve rolls. I fed all of us for about $9 with tax,. Using just butter & milk i already had at home. The kids put the extra gravy with the patties on their potatoes. Or 2. The other dollar store meal I'd make they liked was...imagine if a japanese Ramen soup had a baby with an American chicken noodle soup ...this dish would be it's offspring. Lol. My kids loved it. I'd get 5 packets of chicken Ramen noodles, crush it up cook it, but add its seasoning & yellow cap Mrs dash, a little bit of poultry seasoning & crushed celery flakes. I'd add a few heaping tbs to the water to make it a broth instead via using Better Than Bouillon paste- the roasted chicken flavor. I'd then stir in either a frozen Veggie blend or frozen variety corn, or a canned cut green beans drained. I added 1 diced finely carrot too with the deydrated minced celery flakes. Then after I mixed all that together with all the seasonings, broth, noodles, & veggies, I'd add half of a shredded rotisserie chicken. I'd buy them when they would go on sale either bogo or for a $3 half price sale. Simmer on low til carrots etc are tender. I'd serve a baguette crusty bread torn into wedges so as to dip in the soup broth. Id get a $1 baguette in the day old bread section/cart at my grocery store. The seasonings & better than bouillon really gave it it's flavor in the broth. It's a very hearty one pot meal that cost me under $10 to make for a family of 4 plus half a leftover rotisserie chicken after. I'd use it to make chicken sandwiches or chicken salad sandwiches for dinner the next night along with a box of Velveeta mac n cheese & another Veggie. So that meal made 2 very cheap meals, next nights dinner only cost maybe another $5 dollars assuming i had mayo on hand. One meal a week in my household was something easy, quick, & cheap but tasty. Typically weds nights I'd do my quick cheap meal of the week. I'd make more involved & higher cost meals like a pot roast w all the fixings on Saturday & Sunday dinners. My daughters fav weeknight meal growing up was tatertot casserole, my oldest sons fav was taco bar- taco meat lettuce tomatoes onion guac salsa sour cream & tortillas along with Spanish rice and refried beans on the side or a 9 layer burrito he'd make out of it all. While my youngest son's fav weeknight meal was spaghetti with meatsauce or meatballs & texas toast garlic bread with green beans in butter & garlic. I sure do enjoy watching you make such BIG meals for your large family. Hope my few ideas are worth a try, as it does cut costs to every week have 1 dinner night that's very budget friendly, tasty, filling, non time consuming, & covers all the food groups. 😊

Adult kids are the harshest most honest critics at dinner time especially with new meals oh do I know this as a momma to 5 ages 17-25. Good job momma! I can totally relate to the statement of "I wont be offended, but kinda" I totally get that lol

instead of buying those expensive egg rolls, you can get the shredded cabbage or broccoli slaw mix in a bag in the salad section (it also freezes well) and get a bag of crunchy chow mein noodles for on top or look for won tons or egg roll wrappers, cut into strips and crisp up in the airfryer

I absolutely LOVE this idea of making a dollar Tree Dinner , I like the challenge so now I’m going to try it and see what I can come up with! OH and Mrs. Bell I have to agree that you do look younger with your hair down BUT you’re beautiful either way ! 🥰🙏🏼🤍✨

You are so full of joy and it’s amazing to watch! 💜💜💜

I love some of the smaller sizes. It’s just the two of us now. I also do a big snack run before we head to the beach with the family.

The mint cookie are as good as Girl Scout ones. The cornbread amazing . I get my chicken al king great I buy the milk wonderful 😋

Your hair looks very pretty down. 😊

Great finds

I just love your channel. You are an amazing woman...TFS❤

Fun to watch !😊

You are the sweetest. HOWEVER you sound like my Momma "If you don't like it be honest..." someone says i like it but...and then you say "Well, why not. I thought it was good" 😅😂😂😂❤ so cute.

I was just watching videos from your Playlist and got a notification of a new video 😊 Been patiently waiting for this video. Happy New Week! 😊

Absolutely!! You look amazing with your hair down!!!

Same here. We have 2 dollar trees. One in spotless, organized, clear aisles. The other one looks like an giant picked it up and shook it!

hi i am asian and spring rolls are deep fried and used as topping of the rice veggie mix. im glad you tried to explore. adding coconut milk is also so asian, it actually adds taste to veggies

I am going to try this. I like the idea of deconstructing the egg roll! I will let you know how it turns out!

I love watching your beautiful family, thank you for sharing with us!

We use the sausage they have there for beans and rice the kids love it

I think your revamp ideas at the end are going do the trick! That was a great idea 👍🏿👍👍🏿👍🏿👍

I love DT cook with me videos..this is amazing. I use to use the bell pepper one in a breakfast casserole... It was so so good.. Going to have to try it again soon. Thank you for the reminder.

Love that sweater! 💗

U definitely look about 10yrs younger with ur hair down..very pretty. Dinner looked delicious!!!! Im single and live alone so i do $ store meals all the time. If u yse ur imagination and get creative u can make some pretty good dinners. 😊

Hi Heather...I loved your heart ❤️ sweater. Your hair worn down made you look a bit younger, but I think you look gorgeous with it worn up as well. 😊 As for the dinner, I would have left the egg rolls whole and cooked them in the air fryer. That being said, next time I would try making a different Dollar Tree meal altogether, maybe a casserole of some kind. It's going to be extremely difficult cooking a meal with ingredients from Dollar Tree since blyour family is accustomed to home cooking, which can't compare when it comes to taste and quality. Have a good week. Sending love and blessings from Connecticut.

Thanks for sharing.

"Heather, focus focus!!"😂❤😅 that's so relatable...

You look amazing hair up or down and excellent choices at dollar tree🎉🎉.. loved it when your husband started filming you 😂 😊

You can tell you love ALL of your kids. Good woman! ❤

We have 34 dollar trees in my city and none have coolers! It’s the one thing I miss about where I use to live. 😂

You are just awesome momma Bell!!!❤

The same thing kind of happened with our mall. It was not a huge month to begin with us in that area where I live. The biggest city is Corning. I'm in upstate New York. I'm sure you've heard of it. The glass museum where corral, where pirates was born so to speak LOL. But your armor had like all the big fancy stores. When I was a kid and I just turned 50. So not too far behind you, sister. And they're all gone like McCurry's is our test is rosenbaums. I could go on and on and it got down to only a few stores in this fairly decent size for our area, you know, especially when it's empty looks really bad. Mom they're actually a bat back. A couple of stores and a couple of restaurants that are trying to like keep it alive and hope for more to join in with the other update stored areas. But we'll see pretty sad, though that places like that. We remember when we grow up and we can't share those memories with our kid. Dos, because I mean we could share the memories but we can't like. Take them and share the memories visually in person with them because they're gone now and rosenbaums was a woman's clothing store. I guess I had a blue button everything I guess but in the back and the women's section. There was a bird cage in the middle of the floor up on a pedestal that had a parrot in it. Turning was Rosie so while my Grandma shot, I hung out with and talked to Rosie. So that's something that I won't be able to do with my kid. But at least I have the memories, I guess.

I enjoyed this video the food looked delicious

A few eggs scrambled with the rice and peanuts with the veggies 😋 😊

looks delish! I loved seeing everyone walk in and out of the video too!🤣

I’m loving these longer shopping vlogs ! X more please x

You should of left the egg rolls whole and fry them I agree with hubby, the shells will be rubbery 🤣🤣

Loving these Dollar Tree videos! You do look more youthful with your hair down but you look Beautiful either way😊

Watch the pepper and garlic blends. I bought one and it was full of salt, very little garlic and pepper in proportion.

Looks good. Everyone likes the stir fried peppers. Thanks for sharing ❤

Or use more oil for the egg rolls, and let them sit and cook and crisp instead of bothering them and stirring them too soon and too often… My opinion

You need sesame oil when frying up rice in a wok or stir fry oil. Both work great and heat up fast but gives that Asian taste too.

You can take spaghetti or the noodles from the ramen and make veggie lo mein

Being part Asian, I would not consider those methods. But to each their own. You could have done the eggrolls in the oven, whole, which would have helped keep the filling in tact, and cut them up afterwards. This is why we always have Spam! Say what you will about it, but it goes a loooong way! And imo, it's better than dissecting the eggrolls. You could also make a salad out of the eggrolls instead

That cream cheese blend is wonderful! I use it all the time

please make more series with cooking with dollar tree!!!!!!

We use that polish sausage and mix it with fried potatoes. Add some shredded cheese and it feeds a lot.

I just love your videos

Get a bag of wonton strips for the crunchy on top. They are next to bags of croutons in the grocery store. ❤

Hi Heather bell you made it Look Like a masterpiece!! Once again hail to the queen 👸 of cooking!!! BELLISSIMO!!!😊 ❤

Yes your hair is beautiful down❤

Lol, we have two dollar trees too...I went to he super organized one today for garden bits and pieces, lol
