With grocery and home goods prices through the roof, many Americans are looking for ways to affordably provide meals for the family and still make ends meet this holiday season. One TikTok creator’s video seems to have saved the day for millions after her $20 Dollar Tree meal has gone viral just ahead of Thanksgiving.
In an effort to create and showcase extremely budget-friendly meals (exclusively made from Dollar Tree ingredients) for her audience of over 2M, the creator behind @DollarTreeDinners recently posted a new and improved Thanksgiving recipe. The three-course dinner includes Mac & Cheese Bites, “The Best of Thanksgiving” Casserole, and Caramel Apple Pie/Cherry Pie Cookie Bars.
“I’ve got a $20 budget to make a Thanksgiving dinner using ingredients from Dollar Tree… I’m happy to say that not only have I already made the Dollar Tree Thanksgiving dinner [and] I do think it was my best Thanksgiving dinner that I have ever made.” -@DollarTreeDinners’ Rebecca Chobat
