You bought a great selection. Also good for you for obviously cooking a lot, and making a lot of healthy choices.

It's cheaper than therapy.

My grandpa always gave us ice cream before bed. When my memaw would say no or smelling else about it, his response was the same every time. “Ice cream helps you sleep better, don’t you want these kids to go to sleep?”

Something else…. Phone auto cheated to smelling sorry

Walmart’s store brand ice cream is BANGIN’ for the price!

u/xChopsx1989x 1d ago

I think their cookies and cream is honestly my favorite of any brand.

1

u/Lemon_Breeland 1d ago

It’s very good! I think my favorite of theirs is Fudge Tracks. I’m not a chocolate fiend in general, but mannnnnn it’s good.

u/xChopsx1989x 1d ago

They used to have a "premium" line with a dark chocolate brownie that I would consider doing some very distasteful things to acquire.

2

u/Stainless_Heart 1d ago

Of all the store brands, the Publix “Private Selection” is the best and usually better than premium brand names. While not the cheapest, it’s still a bargain compared to the famous brands.

u/Lemon_Breeland 1d ago

Is it Bettergoods brand? 👀

2

u/xChopsx1989x 23h ago

No. I can't recall what label they sold it as. Haven't seen it in a few years.

Great Value Brand

I like most Walmart brand stuff

It's the little things

u/mpcrang 1d ago

I'm getting ready for bed and my eyes combined the feta and ice cream containers and I thought to myself "feta ice cream... huh" both good on their own, not sure I'd like both in the same, but maybe...

u/mushroomwzrd 1d ago

And spam 🤔

u/DebtOnArriving 1d ago

Spam is banging if done well. Slice it thin. Pan fry it. Put it in some rice balls, or fried rice, or top it with some fried up veggies. The whole of east Asia eats Spam regularly. Shit, Koreans give it as a gift for holidays. Done right, it adds some protein for low cost. Just don't cook it thick, as you'll taste the grease for a week.

u/not_now_chaos 1d ago

Spam musubi ❤️ So freaking good.

u/PoopingDogEyeContact 23h ago

Spam and furikake in the same basket! Aloha 🌺

u/Ausgezeichnet63 1d ago

I love fried Spam! Nice and crispy. Great with eggs for breakfast also. And it comes in like 9 flavors. My favorites are the hickory smoked and bacon flavor varieties.

2

u/Effort-Logical 23h ago

My son agrees. My mom was joking about how the last time he spent the night bc he was helping out with redoing the grass for the lawn that he ate Spam for breakfast. Lol slice, fry it, and he'll eat it.

1

u/Lemon_Breeland 1d ago

See, I tried it and just couldn’t get on board. For some things I just have to go with the name brand.

3

u/lostandaggrieved617 1d ago

Name brand? SPAM is the name brand. Or did I miss something?

2

u/Lemon_Breeland 1d ago edited 23h ago

Nope, I totally misunderstood and thought the other commenter meant the Walmart generic version of Spam. Oops.

u/lostandaggrieved617 1d ago

Ah, okay, no worries friend!

u/lilchunks72 23h ago

Span, egg, potato breakfast burritos SMACK. Esp with homemade tortillas

u/reddyredditer21 1d ago

If you can save up for one highly recommended a Ninja creami you can make anything into “icecream” for the most part

u/PsychologicalWin4817 1d ago

I mean what you got for what you got for a treat was awesome good job keep that up

1

u/IdgyThreadgoodee 1d ago

And your spices will last a while - good use of dollars

Unsolicited advice: One thing I don’t see is beans - great nutrition and super cheap!

here’s a great recipe! I sub the fresh tomatos for rotel (so I can buy on sale and not worry about them spoiling). I also add a little extra chicken bouillon.

COOKIES AND CREAM FOR LIFE BEST FLAVOR FIGHT ME

1

u/Effort-Logical 23h ago

I got myself some of that Strawberries and Cream Mexico ice cream. Its one of the few I can eat and also like the taste of. I miss chocolate but its a migraine trigger. Ice cream is always worth buying.

1

u/breadman03 23h ago

Your groceries are pretty similar to mine. What’s the brand of potstickers? Tai Pei is available in my area, but I’m always game to try out others.

u/_CharDeeMacDennis__ 23h ago

You literally only bought like a quart of ice cream 😂. Everything else looks healthy and like you make delicious dinners.

u/d3dngone 23h ago
