Great auction video! I've been to lots of auctions before but didn't realize there were produce auctions as well. It was very exciting and made me want to go to one myself.

That was fun you go to the auction with little to no knowledge and watch hopefully understand the process and you succeed and you adventualy submit a bid an win good for you. I do know the total price paid was even not close to what you would have paid in the open market I really enjoyed this trip I took with you !

Queso fresco is a good replacement for cotija cheese if you can find that kind. Avocado oil is usually used as a replacement for seed oil like vegetable and canola oil but I have never used it. You will have to let us know how you like it.
@shannonsortore325116 күн бұрын
Thank you!! I will try to comment once I try the avacado oil. Isn't question fresco a lot softer though? I touched the package of it at the store and thought it seemed soft...and the cotija was hard and crumbly. But maybe the flavor is similar? Correct me on this if you have used them both! And thank you for your comment!
@NOVAFrugalFamily16 күн бұрын
@@shannonsortore3251 sometimes there is water/liquid in the package but they are the crumbly ones that you can crumble with a fork. Most people say that cotija is saltier but I am not sure that I could tell a difference when it was used on something.

Part of the reason Aldi can stay cheaper is because their cans, dressings, kethcup etc. don't have pop tops or whatever one wants to call them. Such are not on their veggies, their cans of pineapple, fruits, nothing. And while I get the point, nothing is more irritating than when of those snaps off before the can, etc. is opened. My last bottle of Ranch dressing was from Walmart, a big one, and no matter what I did, half the bottle poured out any time I just wanted a little. First time to this channel, don't know ya well, but thought I'd offer that. With today's prices and even though Aldi too has increased, thank God there is an Aldi. Walmart is arguably one of the biggest retailers in the world and imo they are losing it. I can't be PAID enough to go in that store. I do get delivery from them on occasion and last night tried to do one and it picked my substitutions and the app would not let me edit and so I ended up canceling the order. So just saying if you want an easy open, we pay for it too, or a squeeze bottle of mayo or sour cream, etc. or other convenience that cost is added on and we pay for it. Like I said a first timer. Still watching and seeing if I will subscribe. So far though, I probably will.

I'm sure that is really starting to teach them responsibility. We are more of the thinking that we are still paying for the main groceries and meals, but if they want extra things, they often do go spend their own money on those.

Good afternoon..new here..love you bargain shop..QUESTION: Do your working children contribute to the food bill?
@shannonsortore32512 ай бұрын
Excellent question. I totally understand why some parents ask their working kids to contribute...that said, we do not ask them to pay us for any of the groceries. Lots of times if they want something extra or out to eat, they use their money to buy it. But they do contribute to the family by just helping around the house, lawn care, etc. I am seeing this as a season we are in right now and trying to focus on the blessing we can be to them right now as they are getting their lives started (it's so hard in this economy with prices of things, cars, etc to get started finacially!)

Thanks for your ideas! My biggest eater (17) is on a major health kick where he is trying to eat "clean" which I found out means meat and food that are not processed, and more fruit, veggies, healthy stuff! So it does make it a bit challenging because he doesn't want the hot dogs, and stuff like that. But I know the hot dogs would be a cheap meat to give him.

My husband had to change deodorant 5 times in 1 day because I couldn’t handle the smell. Now I try to stay with the things I know I can handle. Everyone in my family knows don’t buy me things that I haven’t already in my house. Candles I’m very picky about.

Yay Wegmans! We live in an area that is very rural NY south of Rochester and Buffalo, close to Pennsylvania. But we have ONE wegmans that is about 30min from our house. And I grew up around wegmans...there is no other store that compares to their quality, I think. They can be expensive, which is why I shop Aldi for most things, but some deals can be found at Wegmans. I love to get potatos, bulk packs of ground beef, and bulk packs of chicken there....just as reasonably priced for those items as Aldi (maybe even less at Wegmans). Thanks for your comments!
