So, I had a video idea- don’t know if you’re open to them! How about recreating viral TikTok foods using dollar tree ingredients. I had this idea when I saw you use the salmon in your Valentine’s Day dinner. You could do the Emily Mariko salmon bowl, the dalgona coffee, the pancake cereal, etc.

When I did a lot of community theater, I would offer to cater the cast parties, because it can be really overwhelming for people who aren't used to putting food out for a crowd. I'd always make one or two things from scratch, but then everything else was pre-made, like meatballs in a jarred sauce in crock pots, or appetizers like you made. Arrangement and presentation are so important when feeding a crowd. Almost anything looks festive and fancy on the right plate in the right arrangement.

I know this isn't top of mind for a lot of people, but some dollar trees actually have a decent selection of seeds and home gardening supplies as we go into spring. If you have the countertop space or windowsill space, it's super easy to grow things like parsley, cilantro, basil, etc. chives, from seeds. Adding that stuff to premade dips/sauces packs a huge punch flavor wise. I admit I'm not the superbowl party demographic haha but I love these foods too and it's fun to dress them up.

This was a very good budget menu idea .It would work for a kids birthday menu also thanks for all of your hard work with the videos you make .

My 16 year old eats the mozz sticks with a salad on nights when he is not interested in what I am making. He always says the others are better-tasting but he likes the ease and convenience of the portion size in the bag. He tosses them in the air fryer while he makes his salad, and his dinner is done quickly. I think, I will ask if he wants me to add some basil and/or garlic next time he makes them. Thank you again for another video, we are about to leave for a convention next week and I am making your homemade lunchables for our lunches.

Great ideas, hotdogs also great for kids, with Mac and cheese, baked beans. How about doing a kids birthday menu video from dollar tree. Love your channel and your positivity. So glad to see your channel is growing so quickly❤

Growing up we always had Tony's Pizza in the freezer. We hardly ever ordered delivery pizza and it made a quick lunch in the summer for us kids or a late night treat on a Friday or Saturday night. I like to buy the grape Crush in the 1 liter bottle from Dollar Tree, I don"t drink much pop since I am not a fan of the carbination, but I do like a glass every once in awhile and a 1 liter will last me for a few weeks,. I like mine flat so it doesn't bother me if it goes flat. I will actually shake the bottle to make it flat or drink it with lots of ice.

This was a very good budget menu idea The tier idea is brilliant, thanks for presenting it like that.

Thank you for helping me make more realistic goals. 😀

I love that you pay attention to how you present the food. It really makes it look more appetizing!

My house was the party house in high school, we had movie night or a bonfire almost every Friday.

I really love your content. During COVID, I ended up living in an extended stay hotel and money was very very tight. Sometimes I’d only have $3-$5 a day to feed myself. Dollar tree was my go-to and I kept searching for meal ideas or tips/tricks online but struggled to find content. I love that you are doing this! I wish I had discovered you sooner! ❤

My husband and I struggle so this is wonderful, thank you for sharing your ideas love love.

D&D or other game nights in with friends, everyone hops in the car or throws $5 or $10 in the kitty to head to Dollar Tree or Family Dollar to gather ample munchies for the festivities. It's also a better variety of flavor sensation than a run of a mill pizza delivery.

You made me laugh when you said “I like cheap food”. Me too!

You could dip the taco bites into the spicy salsa.

If you haven’t tried the Golden Home ultra thin pizza crusts from Dollar Tree you should give them the Rebecca treatment. I think they are great. I use them to make pepperoni pizza, margarita pizza, chicken bbq pizza, etc.

For the cookies... stacking every other with the chocolate side up would be cute :)

wow fabulous spread. presentation is key. would not have guessed that was all dollar tree.

Pouring warm pop over ice causes it to go flat. Cold pop with ice will go flat as well, but slower.
