A Thanksgiving Feast From the Dollar Tree

That Lisa Dawn

Hey friends! In this video I make a budget friendly Thanksgiving dinner using only ingredients (minus spices and a little oil) from the Dollar Tree! It was maybe my favorite Dollar Tree Thanksgiving meal I've done and I'm excited to share it with y'all!

The Dollar Tree isn't always the best value compared to places like Walmart or Aldi, but these videos are more about accessibility and getting creative with a limited grocery selection.

It’s crazy I’ve been watching these for FIVE YEARS already!!! So proud of you and where you’ve come from. I’ve been with you all the way!

This Thanksgiving, please remember the first Thanksgiving was to celebrate actually having food to eat. Culturally we get so wrapped up in tradition and perfect sides, etc that we loose sight of why this celebration exists. I think this year really emphasizes the celebration of having food and safe healthy family and friends to celebrate with. Be kind and help others where we can. Cheers!

In our little family we could eat a can of cranberry sauce each. We love it. Don't understand why people don't like it but anyway. We absolutely love it. And yes, it better be on that table!! Lol
Happy Thanksgiving. My family has adopted 40 disabled seniors that we are taking plates to. Our Church family have adopted around 200 people so far to take plates to, and a small box of food for after Thanksgiving.

This is quite the feast. Your cooking is so down to earth and creative. You tube has been flooded with Vlogs of people making budgeted Thanksgiving dinners like it's a game challenge. I feel that yours is truly caring and mindful of what it means to struggle. Thank you!

I like that cream of mushroom soup wasn't used for the green bean casserole

I'm single and I cook for myself for holidays, it was a revelation when I let myself say I don't want a month of turkey (bc frozen leftovers) and just went my meal is fancy sides and treats that I don't always buy

Lisa Dawn, no matter how many times I watch you, I am always amazed at your creativity!

@melaniealison5889 10 months ago

This shows just how creative you are Lisa! I have implemented several of your ideas into my buying and cooking. I feel our only weapon against inflation is to look for sales and to be creative! Love your videos!

I’ve been rewatching your past Thanksgiving videos, waiting for this years to come out!

I just mixed the left over can of cranberry from a few days ago with bbq sauce and slow cooked chicken in it, and it was pretty good

You could’ve crushed the cookies to make a pie crust and used the fluff as pie filling.

I set out a can of jellies cranberry just because I have a vintage dish and server for it. I find if I preslice it everyone eats it. If I dont. No one cuts into it. I'm going to also make myself a small batch of homemade for myself just because I like it and it's so much fun to cook. I think cranberries popping are the original fidget toy.

Your Thanksgiving content truly stands out among the crowd. The creativity and unique approach, especially the cranberry whip recipe, have completely won me over. I'm genuinely excited to recreate this dish and can't wait to see your next video.

With Turkey being so inexpensive Butterball Turkey is 99 cents a pound at Walmart and many business are giving Turkeys away the viewers just have to consider the side dishes. Walmart has the great value can corn & green beans at 50 cents . What a blessing to have your mother & boy friend together enjoy your beautiful delicious meal.

So happy to see this! Don't pay attention to distractors! If you have no vehicle, walking is the cheapest mode of getting somewhere. I see a lot of people walk to the dollar store to get food!

@SparklyDogs2 10 months ago

My family would think I had lost my mind if I didn’t have canned cranberry sauce. Yes, it’s an absolute must!
