What happens when you eat ONLY clearance food for an entire week? I made a full week of meals using nothing but discounted food from Walmart, Smith's, and Dollar Tree. The result? About $50 total, just $2.38 per meal and $7.15 per day. From unexpected clearance finds to surprisingly delicious meals, this challenge proves you can stretch your grocery budget further than you might think.

Julia and friends please pray for me my son passed away ten days ago.
You did great. Only other idea is I would have used 1/2 of the sausage and some tots with cheese for breakfast burritos.
If you get to Walmart early on Mondays Tuesdays or Wednesday’s you are likely to find some decent clearance meat!
I consistently hit the clearance areas of all 4 of the grocery stores in our local area. No shame in the game as far as I'm concerned. We all have to eat, might as well save money while we're at it 😊
I’m thinking you can use the broccoli slaw in a stir fry🥗 or as the lettuce potion of a pork taco🌮
Left overs make great breakfast foods. I often eat last nights left overs so they don’t go to waste.
Love this self imposed challenge. Julia can make a kings feast with pennies in my opinion. This is how she rolls.
Julia, I rarely see clearance items in our grocery stores here. Fortunately, we have a huge discount grocery store less than two miles from me. It really helps to shop there. You are the best! Have a great summer.
You could’ve used the broccoli slaw on the tacos for some crunch.
I like to use the corn/flour Tortillas for enchiladas.
Hi Julia and Family. Hope all of you are well. You really bought GREAT foods and GREAT prices. The meals you made look DELICIOUS. Have a GREAT day, night and week. 🙏💕🫂
Lots of hummingbirds this morning. They follow storms here in Alabama. Seven days of rain here. We had a bear swimming across the lake yesterday. Great deals! You,re saving lives lil girl! Love from the back porch in Alabama!
People often forget that you can eat anything for breakfast. Not just your typical breakfast food. Leftovers from dinner are perfectly fine to eat. And breakfast for dinner has always been a favorite for me ❣️
Love all your videos! You teach us to think outside the box. ❤ I worked nights for 17 years as a nurse!!! Pizza/leftovers were a staple breakfast!!!!
I always buy clearance, yellow sticker, manager specials and loss leaders. You can eat well for lower cost.
Julia, what a bunch of random items! But as usual you worked your magic and did a great job making delicious meals!
I love how creative you are with these challenges 😊. Since you're an excellent cook, I'm sure you can whip up something really good with even the most random ingredients lol. Next time I shop for groceries I may try to only shop clearance. I had no idea Dollar Tree had clearance items 😅
You’re incredible!! Thank you for all you do for your viewers ❤❤❤🫶🫶🫶
This challenge was so fun to watch. Looking forward to the freezer meals video. 💞🐦🙏
My husband and I shop clearance things also.
