Hey friends! In this video I made a Christmas dinner using only ingredients (minus spices and oil) from the Dollar Tree.
**The Dollar Tree is a non traditional option that a lot of people either choose to use or have to use for some or all of their grocery shopping. For many of these people the Dollar Tree may be the best option, or the only option, due to availability, distance, or affordability of better grocery options. Not everyone has the ability to access food pantries or food assistance, so please be open minded about the situations of others before criticizing those using Dollar Tree as their primary source of nutrition.

Sucks that you have to give that disclaimer at the beginning because people complain or are just straight up Scrooge’s. But thank you for helping families provide for their families & have a good dinner on Christmas! ❤❤❤
No one would ever guess that the entire meal was $20!!! I'm always amazing by what you can do with so little.
I love the mat that you are using. Is it from Amazon?
the broccoli cuts that I bought were just the stalks, there were no crowns at all . wouldn’t buy it again
Lisa Dawn, you could add a little of your mire poix (onion, celery, carrots?) to the risotto. I think that would taste great!! Plus, my Mamaw would take extra pie or cookie dough and add cocoa powder, sugar and pats of butter for moisture and bake little hand pies for us grandkids. Yummy!!
I was impressed by the baking mat where did you get it?
I don't eat meat, but I would substitute the sausage with cooked lentils. Thanks for the inspo!
An easier way to cut your nutella bites is taking plain waxed dental floss and wrapping a puece around it then pulling tight until it slices the piece. That way you're not crushing the dough. Just make sure the floss is plain, not mint! 😉
I love your videos. Tell Andrew he’s adorable btw
Hi Lisa just found you do you make crockpot videos for two and air fryer just me&hubby Lisa my fav name as child❤
Wow Andrew knows what prison slop looks like…
Wow the variety, especially including veggies. Very resourceful. You have a talent that not everyone has but very inspirational.
I'm on income support and was sick still got turkey dinner and just gravy and baby carrots and small potatoes….. I still can't taste foods so lol 😆 I'm paid ones a month yet still get food from grocery stores
Are dollar store don't have anything but canted foods spices and pasta lol so u can't make much of anything other then pasta or spam lol 😆
Hi Lisa! I tried your green bean casserole method and it was delish! Can you do a cinnamon roll from scratch video? Thanks!
I just ❤ you Lisa Dawn!! You put so much love and effort into your cooking to turn those ingredients into something special and delicious for your family and us viewers. Your good heart shows through your cooking. Happy Holidays!
I’m excited to try some of the meat pies. Everything looked great
Oh dang! No my brain is questioning the organization of the hazelnut spread too lol 😂😅
Awe!! I have the same hoodie!! ❤
That kind of cling wrap is available at restaurant supply stores, and often cities have a Gordon Foodservice or Restaurant Depot and the public can buy at both stores. They will also have foil and wax paper and baking paper in the same big boxes.
I love dollar tree!!

You can go to the deli and ask dinner cut turkey or ham steaks under $5. They do have regular biscuits mix. Side note get a smaller can of cream corn for the jiffy mix
For my green bean casserole I’d use that velvetta sauce in it
What a fantastic video!
Thank you for making such helpful content ❤
Those cookies would be awesome for passover, no leavening…. they look delicious 😋
Great job. Thanks for the ideas.
I got a 25 dollar gift card for Walmart for a ham or turkey from my employer for Christmas, Walmart had reduced 10 lb spirals, for 11 to 12 buck each, I processed both before cooking as bro, my as is broke, the like 2 lbs not sliced at the end I cubed for use in Mac and cheese, omelets, or a soup. The slices were set aside for sandwiches or just a thick slice of breakfast ham.
You did an outstanding job with making an affordable and appealing meal using what’s available for those limited to Dollar Tree.
Holy cow that spread was amazing! It makes me want to make Cornish pasties❤😂❤
Just commenting for the algorithm 🖤🤎💜
Does DT have pizza dough or frozen bred dough? That would save a step for the turnovers.
Amazing as always
Happy new year 🎉
A lot of pixeling in your entire video, a shame.
Wow! That was a lot of food for twenty dollars.
You are very creative in your cooking. Inspirational.
Loved your dessert ideas.
Thank you for sharing with us. 😊😊
