Thanks for sharing realistic budget meals. They all look good and satisfying, without meat, and with a good amount of vegetables.

It would be much much healtier with meat included!!!!

Really meat is not healthy for you so it's healthier without meat especially red meat.

Hey Abby, Happy Tuesday. Thank you for sharing these eight meals that are only $20. ❤ it’s hard to make meals for cheap now a days because everything is so expensive now. 😢 I think all of these meals are delicious and affordable. The only con is that none of them contain meat but it has a perfect blend of vegetables and proteins in them. ❤🥰

These are great ideas! Thank you! I had a quick question though. What do you do when your kids won't eat the meals you made? Do you keep other snacks on hand (yogurt, fruit, cereal, etc.)? I have three littles who don't always like what is being served for dinners, so I just wanted your take as a momma of littles. :)

At a store that I would actually shop at...probably a bit more than $20. Walmart is *_horrible_* to their employees and I will not support them.

Love this video and your channel but doesn’t seem like a realistic meal, no side, no seasoning on the pasta salad- maybe more of a survival type meal? But still, that shows you can work with $20 so thank you!

I love frugal meals and am glad to have found your channel. However, this haul is too high in the amt of beans and carbs for me. A cup of Peas has 8 grams of Protein plus Vit C etc and is a great combination of protein and veg options. I would definitely have gone with at least 1 can or packagevof frozen Peas. That way, I could do away with some of the beans and certainly one pasta to include more Veggies.

@thesimplifiedsaver7052 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing! there’s no way that I can make a video with trying to consider everybody’s needs. I hope you understand that. These meals are to inspire you and you can definitely tweak them and make them your own.

@ilovemyservicedog8862 6 ай бұрын

The only problem with this meal is, it’s got a lot of beans and obviously beans cause gas so I can’t imagine eating as many beans especially like when I was a kid I was terrified about having gas in school like I know this is funny but like it’s not so keep in mind that if you’re serving beans and stuff that keep in mind that people have to go to work or things like that you might wanna alter Little bit

Your corn is most likely GMO....all corn is unless it is stated on the can non-GMO. Your green pepper is on the Dirty Dozen list. So is the carrot and potatoes. Lots of pesticides in them.. 😵😒😵‍💫
