10 Dollar Tree Dinners for Seniors Living Alone (A Month of Suppers for $33)

One trip to Dollar Tree. $32.78. Thirty-two hot suppers for one person — no meat counter, no fresh vegetables, just what fits on a shelf. I'm Joe. I cooked for a firehouse for a lot of years, and now I cook for one. I went through about 235 items on the Dollar Tree website, wrote down every price, and built 10 real suppers you can make in a small kitchen with one pot or one skillet. My rule never changes: two suppers, or the freezer. Every price in this video comes from the Dollar Tree website. Your store may be a little different, and tax is extra. ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 A month of suppers for $33 1:35 The whole trip — 23 items, $32.78 2:35 My rule: two suppers, or the freezer 3:12 #10 Tomato Rice Soup 4:43 #9 Tuna Potato Cakes 6:06 #8 Chili Enchilada Stack 8:02 #7 Penne with Meat Sauce 9:56 #6 Red Beans & Rice with Vienna Sausage 11:46 #5 Chili Mac 13:27 #4 Beef Stew Shepherd's Pie 15:09 #3 Chicken Alfredo Penne 16:52 #2 Chicken Enchiladas 18:48 #1 Thanksgiving Skillet 20:41 Can Dollar Tree feed one person for a month? 🛒 THE SHOPPING LIST (23 items, $32.78) Long grain rice 2 lb — $1.00 Penne · Wide egg noodles · Instant mashed potatoes · Chicken stuffing mix — $1.50 each Corn tortillas, 24 ct — $1.50 3 cans white chicken · 2 cans tuna — $1.50 each 2 cans chili with beans · 1 can beef stew — $1.50 each 2 cans Vienna sausages — 89¢ each Meat-flavored pasta sauce · Alfredo sauce · Turkey gravy · Condensed tomato soup — $1.50 each 2 cans diced tomatoes & green chilies · 1 can small red beans — $1.50 each From home: salt, pepper, a little oil or butter, garlic powder, chili powder, water. 💬 What's the one thing you always buy at Dollar Tree for supper?
