YouTube sisters share $1 meals to help families survive soaring food prices

Those girls might be supplementing a bit on the side.

The only thing that I can think of that costs less than $1 at my grocery store is one banana

GIRLS, R1?

We don't look like that on a dollar a day. How do they do it?!

They look emaciated.

Those heifers? Definitely not limiting their food intake to $1.00 meals.

Dollar meals….. THATS how Trumps doing.

Saw them on the news. They seem sincere and they mentioned how they lost a beloved sister who struggled with food insecurity.

This is America today. All created by one man

This is your typical frugal meals youtube channel. Most of the meals are not $1 meals and they advise use of food banks. It's stuff like "how to get four meals out of a rotisserie chicken." I could do three for myself but not four for a family.

Those poor girls are wasting away. I can tell they're starving.

Trump voters. MAGA!

U.S. Americans are tightening their belts and being 'good soldiers' as they patiently await Religious Freedom and the eradication of same-sex marriage. The Lord will provide...

Stupid people on this thread, fat and sugar are cheap so of course they’re fat. That doesn’t mean they can afford nutrition

I worked at a food bank and while clearly some food is better than no food - after sorting through the stuff that Trader Joe's throws out and picking out the (not so old) stuff, it really does give you an insight into how humbling it is to get your food from a food bank

R8- I hate that term- Food Insecurity

That used to be called HUNGER.

One of them said that when on a strict budget, fresh vegetables aren't affordable.

They mostly seem interested in meat and bread.

I've heard--not from them--that frozen vegetables are more affordable. I saw them use bagged salad, which shocked me, because it's not the most economical option

All of you assholes hilariously taking note that these women are fat don’t seem to be aware or don’t care that:

Are poverty and obesity associated? Poverty rates and obesity were reviewed across 3,139 counties in the U.S. (2,6). In contrast to international trends, people in America who live in the most poverty-dense counties are those most prone to obesity (Fig. 1A). Counties with poverty rates of >35% have obesity rates 145% greater than wealthy counties.

Fresh vegetables are cheap. If I go buy a big broccoli crown, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, spinach, etc. I can make many meals under 2 dollars or near the 1 and under mark. I suppose it would be different if it was just Dollar General nearby, but I'm befuddled as to why people think all healthy cooking is prohibitively expensive.

I wonder if they voted for Trump. Or maybe they didn't vote at all.

Yeah… nope!

I’m trying to lose 30 lbs., not gain 30 more.

The price of wholesale vegetables is up 40 percent in the US

It's also the highest waste item since it is unusable after a number of days.

Boycott fresh vegetables !

How can anyone associate obesity with poverty?

So instead of claiming someone types fat, I now need to claim they type poor?

So much change! I need to head on over to the ‘overwhelmed’ thread.

Yeah, the 30-40 year olds who still live with their parents are still called “the girls” and “the kids”.

If eatin on a dolla budget make me get that big. No thank you.

R17 I just looked at the Stop & Shop circular. Broccoli is 1.29/lb, hard squash are .99/lb, I think cabbage is, too. 5 lb. bags of potatoes are 2.88. Fresh vegetables can fit into a tight budget. I wonder if people who say they cost too much just don't know how to cook with them.

As someone who’s been hungry from poverty, I wouldn’t waste my few coins on vegetables, unless it was a can of beans or corn. You prioritize carbs and protein

R29 Everything is an excuse.

They look like my daughter. Disgusting pigs...all of them! Have some self control!

Haw haw haw! They’re trying to help people feed their families on a budget — and they’re fat!

Haw haw haw!

Another reason people are mocking these women is because their recipes are poor nutritionally and use a lot of processed food. Also, they derive income from their youtube channel so the venture isn't altruistic. However, if they cooked the kind of food popularized on SNAP sites, which emphasize beans, vegetables and dairy, their audience would drop off. Learning how to cook nutritiously and economically requires education these women don't have and their audience doesn't particulary want.
