Michelle, who posts on TikTok under the handle Shelbers, recently documented a successful mission to feed her family of five with only $15. The video, which has racked up 5 million views, shows her pulling up to a Walmart with a very tight budget and an empty pantry.
“I have $15 to my name. I gotta feed my family at 5 for dinner, and we have absolutely no food in the house. So come inside Walmart with me to see what we could get with $15,” she explains while in her car. “I’ve been on TikTok like for the last 20 minutes trying to figure out what the f— am I gonna make. I want something easy, like super easy, but filling that my family likes. So let’s go figure this out.” To meet that requirement, she does some targeted browsing to craft a complete meal.
