Hey friends! I went to the Dollar Tree with a $20 budget to buy a week of groceries for 2 people! My boyfriend and I ate 3 meals a day comprised entirely (with the exception of oil and a few spices) of food from the Dollar Tree.

Grocery shopping from the Dollar Tree isn't always the best value option, but is often the only or best option due to circumstances surrounding accessibility.

This emergency, budget meal plan was just for fun - if you are struggling, please reach out to the resources you have access to for help.
