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

Mmmmm so yummy!!!😍😍😍

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.

Agree watch both also have a great week

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.

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!!!!

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

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.

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

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.

I like honey roasted peanut butter I bet that would be good to

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 !

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.

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

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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 😊

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

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

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!

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

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).😂

I love sweet baby Ray's BBQ sauce.

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

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

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 😂

Baked potato stuffed with the bbq🤤

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

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.❤

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

The pinto beans and pork looks really 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... ❤

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 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😊

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

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

Great use for left over pulled pork👍🏼

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

Elvis supposedly ate Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwiches.

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

Pantry items, so important.

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

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

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❤️

So happy to meet you 😊

Impressive how you stretched that 25.00! 👍👍👍

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

I put potato chips on my peanut butter sandwich 😋

I'm binge watching today 😂

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

Fantastic meal ideas! Thank you so much 💓

We do peanut butter on toast looks yummy

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

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.

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. ❤

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Thank you Brooke.

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!

It is so easy to make a BBQ sauce with pantry staples.

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 😋

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 should try grilled pb and banana sandwiches

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

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

The Greatest Showman is such a good movie 😂❤

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?

That's wonderful

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.
