We Made It! $100 Grocery Budget for a Month! (Includes Episode Guide & Shopping List)

You’ve only got $5, what are you making for dinner? Give me some new meals to try over the next two weeks ❤

This is the most supportive and caring corner of the internet. People from all walks of life just here to encourage each other to help save and stretch money. You should be so proud of what you created ❤

I think the most genius idea of the series was your squirrel fund! It kept you from getting tired of eating the same thing multiple days in a row and it makes the tight budget not feel so limiting IMO.

You have saved many many people from starving. Seriously God bless you. I wish nothing but success and happiness for you

The extra stuff you used is in most people's pantry anyway. So I don't think you did anything wrong. You are awesome, and this really helped 26 of my clients learn you can eat on $100 for the month. Many were able to get even more food due to the area they live in, which has multiple food stores, and I was willing to take them to them all. I got to teach them how to check prices at multiple stores, make a list for each store with the listed price in case something was less at another store than we cooked together every week. So from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!!!

It also just crossed my mind that a lot of people probably throw out $100 worth of food per month, just on waste. Produce they meant to get to but didn't use before it went bad, or leftovers that no one ate up. That can really put things in perspective when thinking about how much we "need" to get by and how to live more consciously. That's something that will benefit anyone, regardless of their income!

None of what you made in this video is what I would consider boring. I never would've thought about pairing grilled cheese and veggie soup.

You should save the Non perishables left over from this time and allow them in the next $100.00 challenge. Show how even the smallest rotating pantry is a benefit.

I can't believe you stretched $100 a whole month!

Thanks! You have done a great service for people on limited incomes and even those of us not. I have several good ideas for meals

This is my favourite series you've done and I was sad it was coming to an end. I'm so excited that we get another month.🎉

Excited to see your next 30 day/$100 challenge. This is so inspiring for someone on a budget. Thank you for sharing your ideas and experience.

I typed a really long comment singing praises on how much you put into this series to make it a success. I hit the wrong button and it disappeared. 😵. So for a very shortened version, you should feel very proud of yourself and the work you do. You DO make a difference in people's lives. How amazing is it to realize that??? So thank you for being such a phenomenal young lady and a kind and caring human being. 🤗

Mad respect for you. The amount of planning, prep work, and dedication that went into this is crazy. You are truly helping people, and I really admire you for that.

Quick tip, everyone: on a recent shopping trip, after glaring angrily at the per pound price of the "cheap" rolls of ground chuck, I did some extra browsing and discovered the frozen burger patties (even the small 3lb packages) were cheaper per pound, when it's usually the other way around. Worth a quick price check at your local Walmart, in case it's the same for you.

There are other budget food channels on YouTube and then there is Dollar Tree Dinners. Rebecca you are the UNDISPUTED Greatest of All Time and Queen of the Internet 👑 :stayhome:🖥 How appropriate was it that the final dinner was our sweet Clara's Poor Man's Dinner??? We need a better name for that one because while it might be humble ingredients I would take it over some so called Five Star Gourmet junk especially if I was sharing the meal with the Dollar Tree Dinner Family. 🤗❤

I’m really trying to succeed at $25 a week food budget. Your videos are making me look at my budget thoroughly. Sticking to actual serving sizes is key for me, but I struggle with fearing that I’ll be hungry. I’m new to this, just a week along, but I’m feeling positive.

I am retired but so very lucky that I am not living on the tight budget that you are cooking for. I did how ever grow up quite poor with a total of 7 kids. These episodes inspire me not to waste so much money and to be even more appreciative of how lucky I am. They reminded me how my parents struggled to feed us and send us all to college. Thank you so much. I really love your channel. You are such a wonderful person.

You did an amazing job with this series!!!

I thank you so much because at 72 I'm having live on my Social Security. It is very very tight. I did just get $41 in food stamps. I'm actually less stressed now seeing how you manage. I wish we had a better Dollar Tree in my neighborhood. I really like Ramen with the egg roll on top the best. I've tried almost everything you used if I could find it in stock. So I'm out here waiting anxiously for next month!
