Growing up in a traditional Italian home I will say if you heat the balsamic, it will thicken and become a wonderful syrup to put on the bread.  I still do that now and it is wonderful. Love your channel because of YOU.  You are so gracious and positive.

I just want to say, I appreciate your channel. You don't make this a challenge that seems like  a mockery to tight budget shoppers. Thank you for that. <3

I love how you literally keep it real for your viewers! In this perfection driven society, it is so refreshing! As you stated, you win some, you lose some, and that's ok. That is real life!

A suggestion for the ham would be stuffed ham rolls, using boxed stuffing and maybe a glaze using jarred jam. 😊

Rebecca screaming "ROSE SHAPE!!!" at herself in the edits.... 😂😂😂

I absolutely love that you film the shopping part, and your thought processes throughout! Thank you for all your hard work 😊

If canned ham is all that's available, You could make ham croquettes. You'd need eggs, saltines and cheese for that, but they can be used for other recipes as well. Also a great way to use up leftover ham.

I also wanted to say that i dont live in US so have never been to a dollar tree, but what your receipes have thought me is to buy less and be more creative. I am spending less and wasting a lot less. Thank you  !!

As soon as I saw the bruschetta plated, I turned to my husband and I said, "We're making that TODAY!" LOL.... Looks absolutely delicious!

Suggestion for bruschetta would be reducing the balsamic in a small sauce pan over low heat. It will get more syrupy and sweeter so you have more flavor. Also, bruschetta doesn't just have to be tomato. If all you have access to is canned tomatoes you can do like olives, roasted bell pepper, canned artichokes ECT. It's basically just toast with things on top. You can also do like sardines or anchovies with tomato. The possibilities are endless 😂😂😂

I love your "I've never done this before". You give us all the option to just "try".

I have used the dried minced onions in a pinch in green beans, and it’s actually pretty good! 😊

I love this channel so much.

It's not just the budgeting, it's the creativity. It's the organizing. It's the well explained reasoning and logic behind certain choices. I've been subscribed for awhile now and I've seen a good few of these holiday dinners and they are great examples of making good food choices on a tight budget.

Your style is relatable, you make things easy to understand, and I hope so much that more people find this channel.

Omg finding your videos has saved me and me living on a very fixed income after my mom passing and now taking care of my dad and son all I can say is thank you for your videos they are a godsend ❤

What's funny is I have been having a crap day and I thought as I was going to lunch was, "I wonder if there's a new Dollar Tree dinners video." You're my calm down videos. Thank you.

I really like your videos because I have a friend that literally shops at the dollar store for her main grocery store.  This is a really important service that you are putting out for many viewers.

For your stuffed cookies you could cut the carmels in half and then be able to make more smaller cookies.  One idea if you wanted a stronger balsamic flavor would be to reduce it down in a pan and then cool and add to the bruchetta.  Great video and I live your creative ways of making affordable meals.

I love that you give examples to add if your budget allows like onions in the southern green beans. I think just showing people what can be done on a budget and still enjoy a good dinner is great.

Maybe next time for your dessert you can make a cake. All you need is the box and a can of soda. Like Sprite for a white or yellow cake or Coke for a chocolate cake. You just add a 12oz can to a box mix, mix, and bake. You’d never know it had soda in it!

The rose shaped edit was hilarious 🤣 ❤
