Episode 9 of making each other budget meals from dollar tree 👀😳 Stick around to see what we…

We made each other struggle meals from Dollar Tree. The catch is, we gotta stay under $7. I made him a struggle meal from Dollar Tree. He made me a struggle meal from Dollar Tree. We gonna rate each other struggle meals from Dollar Tree. We gonna eat each other struggle meals from Dollar Tree. And we gonna see who got the best struggle meal from Dollar Tree. Ladies and gentlemen. Come on. I'm excited. So am I. Y'all know what we got here, man? Today we got two meals under the price of $7. For my meal, I got very experimental. I made a stuffed Thanksgiving cornbread muffin. Ingredients that I used to stuff my cornbread. Canned chicken, cranberry sauce, and of course, stuffing. I used that 75 cent Jiffy Lube cornbread, if that's how you say it. And I got some cranberry sauce right here on the side. And some hot gravy. I chose to stuff Thanksgiving inside of a cornbread cause I'm a big, black, greedy motherfucker. Yeah, well, you're gonna be sharing it with me, right? Of course. Then you're not greedy. I love when you validate me. If you wanna know how to make it, all you gotta do is just read the packages on everything. But how you assemble the stuffed cornbread. Put about a third of cornbread batter at the bottom. Then the first thing you want to put on there is stuffing. Then your chicken. Then you want to put a little Bit of cranberry sauce, cause that is strong and tardy. Once you do that, you want to fill the rest with the rest of the cornbread batter that you have. I had to buy two Jiffy cornbreads cause it was enough to make four. My total was six dollars and twenty five cents. And I was able to stuff four fat stuffed muffins. What you got for yours brother? For my struggle meal I got the cheesy cream of mushroom tuna noodle. Didn't take much to make it, but man does it have a nice little smell to it. I feel like all struggle meals doesn't take a lot to make it. Unfortunately mine took about an hour. It's alright man, we're gonna see how it tastes. Alright. What if it sucks? Gotta be honest, to make this dish, you just putting everything together. Just make sure you don't overcook that gnocchi. Mix in your cream of mushroom soup, grate up your little block cheddar cheese, add in your cream of mushroom soup and then mix all that together with that tuna and there you have it. And the total of everything was six dollars and seventeen cents. Before we get to eating, we're gonna go ahead and say our prayer. Pinkies up y'all. Pinkies up. Everybody put your pinkies up. Let's get to it. Take it away my brother. Lord, we thank you for today. We thank you for the blessing that we can have food here in front Of us. I just pray you bless it to our bodies. I pray that it nurses our bodies. And that if there's anything of it that isn't of you, that you get rid of it right now. And I just pray that we enjoy ourselves and that people can use this to help their families if they're in need. In the name of Jesus, amen. All right, y'all, before we pick one, we gotta do rock, paper, Scissors to see which meal we try first. Rock, paper, Scissors. Shoot. On two. Here we go. One, two. Rock, paper, Scissors. Let's go. Alright, man. Let me go ahead and put this cheap ass gravy on here, brother. Wet it on up, brother. Thanksgiving loaded cornbread. Hopefully this bite takes you back to the hood. I tried to experiment a little too hard, so I don't know if it's gonna be that good. Let's see. Alright, on to 1 2. Hmm. Hmm. Damn, man, that tastes good, though. That actually exceeded my expectations with the filling inside. Well, unfortunately, mine fell apart. I put too much gravy and messed it up. So I'm gonna eat the rest with a fork. Well, sure as hell ain't gonna take away from the flavor. I'm really upset that it fell apart, I'm not gonna lie. I feel like a failure. That tastes amazing, bro. Unfortunately, you can't get them all right, but I did my best. I'm not the best at baking, but I am Really down about this. I'm just gonna be honest so that way you guys don't think I'm coming off some type of way. Look at that one though. Shit, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna keep eating mine cause it fell apart. So I'm just gonna watch you eat yours. I wish you could enjoy it with me, but I got it for the both of us. Take another bite. Hmm. Think it's pretty good though. Don't pity me because I got emotional please. Oh no. First thought I thought it was gonna be dry as hell. That shit dead ass creamy inside. But the filling, the cranberry sauce, the chicken, the gravy. Beautiful combination. Thanksgiving came early and I'm thankful for you. Appreciate it haha. Alright let's move on man. Fuck this stupid dish. Haha god leave bro. If there's anybody out there that can give me tips on how to make my dish better, I'll be really happy because I'm not the greatest when it comes to baking everything. Alright, time for that cheesy cream of mushroom tuna. OK. Hopefully this uplifts my mood. I hope so. Alright, let's do it. I already know it's gonna be good cause I love tuna. Alright on 2 1 2. Definitely interesting. Hmm. I feel like it tastes good, but I personally don't think that gnocchi is the right texture for this. Using egg noodles would have been a lot better. Honestly, more than I think about it, that's its Ass. Haha, so we both made some bullshit. Now you said it tasted good, but it didn't come together well. But let's not talk about mine. Let me take another bite. You go ahead. Oh yeah, we. That motherfucker was hard to swallow. No Sam Smith. Goodness gracious, that sounded terrible. Felt like I was eating pillows with tuna on it. I started. Alright, we tried both the dishes. We're gonna rate each other's meal at the same time. I'm rating his, he's rating mine. So that way we will not come off as biased at all. You got your number? Yeah. Do you got your number? I do. Alright, alright. What are we rating each other's dishes? 1 out of 10 on 2. 1, 2, 3. 9.4. Haha damn. Get the fuck out of here. Come on man. 9.4 for mine. Yeah, come on. I'm just laughing at the 3. So what made you give it a 9.4? Honestly, the only thing that was wrong with it was the fact that it was falling apart. Other than that, the texture was still great. Still had some creaminess on the inside. That gravy tasted good. The cranberry sauce paired with it. It was a perfect overall Thanksgiving concoction. Oh, thank you. So you think mine would have been even better if I just made it a cornbread Thanksgiving bowl and then use gravy as the topping? Yeah, for sure. Really? So I probably experimented a little too far. You were Trying to get creative, yeah. Respect. Now what made you give mine a 3? Haha I'm gonna be honest. Alright first bite I was like hmm cause you got the texture of that cream of mushroom with the tuna. And then as I just kept biting I started getting vibes of like a spoiled BBL. Like it was way too soft, way too thick and it had that fishy taste to it. Yeah, so maybe you got an old expired can of tuna for yours I guess. Getting this shit from Dollar Tree, you never know what you're gonna get. But I feel like if you use that exact same recipe with some egg noodles, I generally be giving that up there in the nines specifically for a struggle meal. Yeah, hopefully you don't take my criticism bad. Nonetheless, love you and you're my best friend. No hard feelings brother. That shit was ass. Haha I'm gonna be 100% honest. I'm a big fan of all of those ingredients so I expected your dish to hit way harder. But man is that like getting a woman pregnant that's not your type on a one night stand. And then there's a fishiness involved. That pH. Alright, now we're gonna say what we rated our own at the same time. Alright on 2 1 2 2 4. Yeah I'm giving mine a 4. You're. You're being too hard on yours. That is the main part of what I was looking forward to. In my dish, but still. That doesn't have anything to do with how it tastes, though. I know, but I didn't even get a chance to fucking taste mine. The main thing that I was trying to work on was the texture. But yeah, man, that's how I feel. Why did you give yourself a one? I gave myself a 2. Why did you give yourself a 2, though? Yeah, at first I didn't mind it, and then when I started getting the texture of that gnocchi and the taste of the tuna, I did not like that pair together, especially the texture. Alright, y'all let us know if you can make our dishes better than we can. It'll be nice to see what y'all can do with it. That's it for the end of the Dollar Tree video, man.
