a few years ago, we went to the beach for our anniversary. We got cheap lodging with a groupon. It was abundantly clear soon after we arrived why it was sooo cheap. There was virtually no clean ( as food and no kitchen facilities at our disposal. Clean to us meant food that didn’t look like it needed to be thrown out. We had brought some food in a cooler like I always do. That took care of a breakfast. The first night we went to the only place that was open,,,a fish and chips that cost 40.00 For fish and chips one drink, , and mine was ice tea.
I wound up doing a search on my tablet and finding a subway at a gas station five miles away. My husband went every night and bought us dinner. Albeit better than nothing,
That being said, I decided I would do a blog on what you can buy at the dollar tree that is not made in China and as healthy as it can be. This does mean that you have some basic cooking equipment . I have for years carried a plastic container with plastic plates, bowls, cups and silverware, along with a cutting board and paring knife, It has saved us numerous times.
Dollar tree food you can eat, not necessarily the cheapest place to get it.
Canned chicken
Tuna
Salami
Crackers
Oatmeal
Almond milk
Spaghetti. And noodles
Pasta sauce. ( hunts)
“Parmesean cheese”
Pizza crust
Pizza sauce
Pepperoni
Fake cheese
Name brand Mac and cheese (frozen)
Name brand instant mashed potatoes
Chili
Canned vegetables
Rice
Beans
Tomatoes
Dried tomatoes
Dried fruit
Turkey bacon
Eggs
Tortillas
Chicken stock
Hormel chicken tamales
Peanut bitter
Bread
Bagels (sometimes)
Olive oil
Not that any of this is gourmet food, but in a pinch it would work. And some of it is regular food, but at a more expensive price than other stores.
The Hormel chicken tamales, and pizza sauce is actually cheaper . And some of the tortillas are not so bad fat and cheaper. Pepperoni is a name brand.
