  1. Now it's $1.25!!!?

  2. Far from healthy. Nothing at this store has anything to do with the word.

  3. We don't got Dollar Store in Hawaii.

  4. When did we start calling it food insecurity? I've been calling it starving, going hungry, and broke. I can't keep up with all of the new regime changes.

  5. A clever and valiant effort. But trying to make complete nutritious meals solely from Dollar Tree items, seems oxymoronish. Too bad it has come down to having to do this, for any community.
    I guess if you are given a lemon, best to be making good lemonade😕.

  6. Rebecca, this is so awesome!! Congratulations!!!

  7. Food is too expensive , commenting from my new Platinum Iphone sipping my $9.00 coffee store pink drink

  8. Rebecca’s tiddies seems so balanced 😍😍

  9. NBC IS A DNC SMOLLETT PEE PEE STORY TELLER.

  10. I'm a new subscriber of hers, so cool that she's being highlighted here! You can tell she has a good heart for people and keeps those with food insecurities in mind. 🙏🏽💕

  11. Let's not leave out Dollar General either. Locally we call it our own 'Walmart'…

  12. I watched this cuz I was curious to see some of the food options. They didnt even show what she bought let alone other possibilities. I like dollar tree but only get snacks in the food aisles.

  13. No, if you’re going to run this story in 2023 then you need to talk about minorities stealing from their own communities and that’s why stores are leaving. Don’t you dare try to blame this on anything but….

  15. Eat fresh food!

    @nbc this is irresponsible journalism and i am appalled by the content.
    Do not push mis information about nutrition, it is the leading cause of many issues in this world.

  16. 0:45 insta camera vs news camera

  17. People buy small foods for more money vs more food for less money per meal. I'm sure she does not feel her family from only a dollar store. Dollar stores have nothing healthy there nothing to offer. The best thing you MIGHT be able to buy is rice but even then that's covered in chemicals they don't warn you about. There's hardly anything fresh or organic there. There's no cereal that's healthy or flour that isn't bleached.
