I'm a senior citizen, who has been cooking all her life, and yet, I am learning new things from you. You sure know a lot about cooking for your young age!

Hi Brooke. A little tip to take your grilled peanut butter sandwiches to a whole new level, instead of having the sliced banana on the side, put them in the sandwich AND add a little drizzle of honey. The heat from grilling them will soften the bananas if they are a bit on the firm side, and make them taste creamier and sweeter. Oh my goodness, it is the food of the gods, I promise you will LOVE it. Much love and respect to you and your beautiful family, from South East England. x

I've been stockpiling for a while. It has helped me stretch my food budget. It also helped me from stressing about not having food to eat.

I keep a well stock pantry and a extra bedroom to hold emergency food and over flow. IT IS SOOO IMPORTANT. I was at the store not to long ago and everyone was panic buying, I think it was a storm coming, I stood in line so thankful I didn't need to pick up anything for it. Peace of mind knowing you're set for anything. I've been stocking up for years.

Between you and the young lady who does Dollar Tree Dinner videos, I eat pretty darn good! 🎉 Thank you for your time and effort to help us all out.

Grilled peanut butter are awesome. I also just toast bread and spread peanut butter on it and it melts just like the grilled peanut butter. So delicious!!!!

I totally agree with you about Target!! It’s WAY TOO EXPENSIVE to buy food there!! The entire store is WAY beyond my budget. 💕🙏🙏

Ahh, those grilled peanut butter sandwiches would have been even better with the sliced bananas IN them! (and a drizzle of honey!) heavenly!

Fried rice is best when u refrigerate the cooked rice over night.Then it's so easy to fry up then.But that's the secret to good fried rice

I Absolutely Love you. You are unapologetic, Sweet and down to earth and your kids is adorable. Love the way they are so eager to try your food. Lots of Love from South Africa.

Brooke My target is expensive for food. You did good with $25. Not sure I could do that. Grilled peanut butter sandwich. Yum. I recently made a pork shoulder and it made a ton of food. You are amazing with feeding your family.

We love grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. After we cook ours we top it with a little powdered sugar and it's amazing 😍 taste like fair food ❤ love you girl you're an amazing human thank you for all your recipes and tips

Omg ! While you were spreading up the pork, I was seriously salivating ,almost drooling ! My family loves pork..I have learned alot about seasoning from you so budget meals don't feel poor Thank you !

If you added green bell pepper to the beans it would be cowboy beans we make lol

I am 100% with you on having a stocked pantry! When I’m getting low on an item I put it on my list (I use the notes section on my phone) and when I see it on sale I stock up on it. I do the same with meat, I have a deep freezer for meat and etc. Keep an eye on your grocery stores! My local Weis marks down their meat on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s, you can stock up on marked down meat, use freezer bags and stash in your freezer for when you need it. I love your videos and you always give me inspiration for a meal if I don’t know what I want for dinner (I try to make a meal plan but it changes with our moods lol)

I see where their kids get their reactions from. They nod and go it’s good. It’s subtle but after seeing how dusty responds I’m convinced they get it from him. You can tell they love your cooking, words not needed body language says it all. Stay safe in the upcoming possible storms. In in VA and heard TN may be getting some weather warnings.

Everything looks really tasty. Liked how you made the baked beans. They looked yummy. I make grilled peanut butter all the time. I usually add marshmallow whip to them. I call them grilled fluffernutters. Take care and thank you for the tips and tricks.

Those beans looked great! They would have been great as topping on baked potatoes

Do you know what I find simply amazing? Watching Dusty eat without getting food in his beard. I'm amazed.

I love your videos and I love your hair because this is how everybody looks when doing serious kitchen stuff. Real life!!! Love it!

Love this series.. Idk if people would find it "preach-y" ?? But to do this AND have a small garden even just 1 raised bed, spring, summer & winter vegis..they could stretch $$ so much further.... And or..do the budget haul and be able to pick just 1 item from a prep pantry per meal! Or both?? From the budget haul you could have left out the..lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers?? To buy more meat, cheese, butter, milk etc.. And ALWAYS have a big, constantly growing herb pot/s! You'll pretty much always have carrots, potatoes & onions! Tomatoes all summer..peppers.. Just a thought to show..after this series is over..what's possible with just an Itty bitty garden and ANY pantry in reserve 😊

Dont know about Target in your neck of the woods but 25$ at my Target wont even get you a snack let alone a few meals. Good luck Brooke❤

There is one pantry staple which is cheaper for me at Target! The good and gather canned pineapple is less than $1

I love when you use Pinto Beans. That’s what my Mother raised us on.

Grilled peanut sandwiches are one of my favorite foods weekends at my dad's as a kid he always made them for us

Ask your grandma if she remembers buying tomato paste for 5/$1.00. Yup 20 cents each. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

Love how you make lots of meals on a small budget. I love having a stocked pantry and have filled my freezers when I find items on sale.

Elvis liked the bananas in the grilled peanut butter sandwich

Those bbq beans look so good 🤤

I love roasted carrots. I like to put the carrots and potatoes together on one sheet pan. I season with everything bagel seasoning.

My late mama used to grill peanut butter and jelly with banana sandwiches.. it was good!

I'm new to ur channel... been here like a week now... I send ur videos to my newly pregnant married daughter... well married a year and due in 3 months. Anyways... what I do is compile everything at either Walmart or Target (now) and have her do a grocery pickup, and I send her the corresponding video... Money is always tight when ur just starting married life, especially with a baby on the way... she lives in Georgia and I'm in Arizona so this is a great way for me to do something for them that makes me feel like I'm saving them money and I'm also teaching her with ur ahhhmazing videos. You should do a series for young newly weds on a tight ass budget... ❤

Please! Please! Do a video about filling up growing boys on a budget. Meals and snacks that fill them up because my three boys eat so much!! (And we homeschool so they are home all the time).😂

Ok, I was confused for a minute because I had sworn I watched this already. 😅 Glad I'm not just crazy.

I must say I didn't think you could do it shopping at target but you did it great video.

If you put a damp dish cloth or paper towel underneath the cutting board it won’t slip around

I love sweet baby Ray's BBQ sauce.

Heavens to Betsy, you rocked it at Target !! Approved menu too.

Pantry items everyone has, I buy my spices when I see them on sale and depending on the item, I will buy a lot. I use a lot of paprika so I will buy it by the gallon jug at a box store. No one add pantry items to the cost of the dinner!

Hi Brooke Thank you so very much for these excellent meal ideas it helps so much to have food list to go shop for . Thank you for helping me achieve this from the depths of my heart.❤

Baked potato stuffed with the bbq🤤

You did s good job with your choice of meals I also use the Knors all the time as well as flavoring in dishes it makes a nice cup of broth for sipping very comforting.

Those beans look bomb ❤ adding it to my menu next week

a baked potato with the leftover pork n beans would have been good too!

I shop online with Target pickup. It save us time and money. If you only need 1 item no problem they will bring it to your car. They also have crazy promo. There in store name brands are good😊

Struggle meal for me when my sons were young peanut butter and jelly quesadillas people laugh until they try it! 😋 i love a little bacon 🥓 and pb on toast myself. Havent been to Target 🎯 in years since before they had groceries thats a long time 😂

The pinto beans and pork looks really good

When I was pregnant I made grilled peanut butter with banana marshmallow fluff and chocolate chips.

I have had grilled peanut butter sandwiches and they are good...have you ever had a peanut butter and jelly omelette? It's good too. I too keep liquid smoke on hand all the time. I've been married 55 years and can't remember a time when I didn't have liquid smoke in my pantry. You do a great job with these extreme budget challenges.

I’m definitely doing that next time I make a peanut butter sandwich

Great use for left over pulled pork👍🏼

❤❤❤Glad to see you using pantry items. Can do a lot more.

Pantry items, so important.

Thank you! I am enjoying your videos it is giving me ideas and helping me stretch my food budget.

I know I commented on this video and must have forgotten to hit enter. Excellent meals. My goodness. My brain. lol... Be blessed always, Brooke & co.. xoxo

You are so correct. A well stocked pantry and spice cabinet makes all the difference.

you should make banana chocolate chip peanut butter bread, the loaf would last a while for breakfast and cheap❤️

You’re a wizard in the kitchen! I love, love your videos!

I like to mash the potatoes and put the beans on top. I also do this with rice and chili.

Another idea for your last dinner put a lil chili powder in your beans. N Bake potatoes n pour beans over potatoes

So happy to meet you 😊

I'm binge watching today 😂

Hi Brooke all your dishes look really good. Had a thought the burnt end hot dogs would be good in those BarBQ beans. I also buy a lot of hot dogs pork n beans & I always have onions. I love making beanie weenie's quick & simple throw it all in the instant pot for 30 minutes. SO YUMMY😋 My instant pot is my Best Friend and by the way I LOVE YOUR INSTANT POT I watched all your instant pot dishes so MORE would be GREAT❣️ Keep up the good work will continue to watch you from SC

Impressive how you stretched that 25.00! 👍👍👍

❤ I love u n ur boys honey! Thank you for sharing your amazing food content and ur family with us!! ❤🌷🌞

You make rice like i do. The steamer is great. Try adding sausages on top for that extra rice flavors. Umma taste...

Target has a lot of great deals. You just need to get on their schedule of sales. Toilet paper, cleaners, etc… lots of money back or off and 5% off with their red card.

Elvis supposedly ate Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwiches.

Hi Brooke try putting a paper towel under your cutting board so it will not move when you uses it❤❤❤❤

I put potato chips on my peanut butter sandwich 😋

Fantastic meal ideas! Thank you so much 💓

barbeque sauce at home- ketchup mustard pancake syrup mix to taste pepper or dash of vinegar if you like- I never buy it.

We do peanut butter on toast looks yummy

I do a LOT of my food shopping at Target, although I buy my produce at FoodMaxx and some food and cleaning products at Dollar Tree.

To making the bean dish go even further, add pealed and cut into 4th potatoes, whole eggs 🥚 they will cook in the crock pot, it will be amazing with the meat and spices, the potatoes absorb all of the flavors and it’s a fabulous way to use extra eggs. And a great protein!

I grew up on peanut butter sandwiches luv them

grilled peanut butter sandwich: I bet it would be good on a George Foreman grill...dts/usa

I like to use up the leftover pulled pork, leftover beans (from beans & rice meal) , an onion, teaspoon of dry mustard, seasoning & brown sugar mixed all together, maybe add more bbq sauce if too dry, then bake for awesomeness baked beans. Great with cornbread. That’s a minimum of 3 meals.

I love your message at the end .I see more people Hungry and people with signs that they are hungry here in South Florida.

Thank you Brooke.

Try putting the banana in the peanut butter my boys love it

OMG those pulled pork beans look amazing! Why didn't I think of that before?!?!?! I think I would have baked the potatoes and put the beans on top, like a loaded baked potato 🤷‍♀Thanks for all the recipes!

Pink salt is good. It’s called Himalayan salt. It is supposed to be better than sea salt. You can’t tell the different from regular salt. It is good.

Those beans are so good! I'm coming back to this video today to make them again with some leftover ribs! 😋

You did that ❤

Show how you can add a couple things every shopping trip to build a pantry as your feeding your family. Only use what you buy on a budget . Keep it going for a few weeks . Week to week you can build a pantry. Show them how it’s done. ❤

That’s grilled peanut butter sandwich elevated put the bananas inside and add cinnamon sugar on the outside when frying it lol ❤

You should try grilled pb and banana sandwiches

I only use target when I can use a promotional code from Uber eats. U get a discount up to 40% off. I usually have a free delivery to. I will just buy whatever I can get cheaper but when I use the promotion code I can save up to $40 The prices are higher but using the discount I can save money

You are so awesome and so is your family! Love watching and learning! Do the Elvis and put the banana on the peanut butter grilled sandwich. Also smash the carrots put butter and sugar brown or white kinda like you do with sweet potatoes. Could you please make goulash using tomato paste?

You know the difference between a cook under 40 and one over 40? The one over 40 has every spice one could need.😊

When I was little I’d make open face pb&j in the toaster oven… pb on bread with dollops of jelly or jam. Delicious 😋

Dang that's a great price on the pork. 😊 So yummy 2 I bet.

I would put the BBQ on a hamburger bun...dts/usa

I love your use of olive oil❤

Grilled peanut butter sandwiches are even better with a chocolate bar on them.😁

That's wonderful

I make my pulled pork with taco seasoning thats it. I dont use bbq cause cant have tomato.

The Greatest Showman is such a good movie 😂❤

Condiments from convenience stores, lunch lunes and restraints can help with seasoning. I knew a girl that put all her saved up duck sauce to brine her turkey. I very seldom buy soy sause.
