Manaiakalani Film Festival – 4for$20

The cost of living has been on the rise lately. Gone are the days that our families could buy meals to feed us for under $10, let alone $20. Just to think that ten years ago, you could buy a loaf of bread and 2 litre milk from the dairy with a $5 note, AND have change to buy lollies. Room 6 has been working hard to find recipes that can feed families of four, and stays within a $20 budget.

Enjoy! Please leave a positive, thoughtful and helpful comment.

  11. Hi Room 6 and Ms Tuia

    Your movie was fantastic! I love the way that you have shared how we can make some good meals for under $20. Everything is quite expensive these days, including food. I have to admit that I felt very hungry at the movie theatre when I watched your movie on the big screen! Logan did a great job speaking in the movie and Mason and Anne Marie did a great job presenting the movie as well. Well done Room 6 and Ms Tuia!

    You have very interesting dishes for a low price of under 20 dollars, I am very impressed and shocked at how many dishes can be made under 20 dollars, I really like the idea of making nacho’s for such a low price, I wonder what other dishes can be made with such a cheap price.

  23. Malo lava Potu Ono. Oka oka se poto o outou! Loved your thinking outside the box, being so creative with your dishes. All under $20 too! I love how you showed us all the steps to producing your meals. I have no doubt that many young people (and old) will be pressing play, rewinding and play again to be cooking these same yummy dishes. Well done to you all for producing this movie. Malo fo’i Miss Tuiā. Next year you might incorporate a ‘Ulu Pua’a?’ You can get one for less that $10 😉

  24. Malo lelei Room 6,
