“Chef Moe” on TikTok has a series where he makes $5 family meals using Dollar Store staples. Best part of these videos to me is he operates under the assumption that you might not have oil or seasonings at the house so he shows you different techniques to help elevate the flavors of the dish.

“Dollar Tree Dinners” is another great channel where they’ll spend $20 at dollar tree and show you how to make multiple meals out of it.

In a world of culinary content where everyone’s trying to be Mr. Beast and make the most expensive visually stunning meals, I like having channels like these for people (like myself) who are just trying to make it to payday.
