If you have the space, try freezing your standard milk. Hubby and I don't drink a lot of milk, but I'll need it a few times a week for cooking - I purchase 1/2 gallons and divvy up into a few empty water bottles, so I always have 16-32oz of milk on hand. Small containers thaw quickly, with no loss of quality once thawed.

Those spring rolls are the best! My other DT freezer favorites are the 2-in-a-pack veggie burgers, the potstickers and what I think is their best value: the 10 oz. sack of frozen blueberries which I buy for my oatmeal.

I like their Jasmine rice, it always turns out light, fluffy and delicious. Rice is my kitchen nemesis and It never turns out right when I use the white or brown long grain rice. Also their frozen peppers and onions, asparagus and fruit for smoothies I feel like are great deals. Those spring rolls with some sweet chili sauce, YUM! And their seasonings are a great deal too! A lot of the time they have name brand overflow, like the Kingsford brand.

Be careful at Walmart. Almost every item I buy rings up as a higher price than what is on the shelf label. I've noticed this at a lot of other stores too. Another thing to watch out for is food companies using the same size packaging as they used to, but they are putting smaller quantities inside and charging the same or even more.
@texasgoddess3233 жыл бұрын
So many stores, businesses, and restaurants are skimping on the product, yet charging the same or more! Don’t know if anything can be done about that, other than to stop buying them. But then you have to go to the next vendor, who is doing the same thing!

For your information I went to Wal-Mart and wanted to price check a item and asked a worker where all the price check machines went. She told me Wal-Mart took them all out. She said they can't keep up with all the price changes on the shelves, they don't have the work force. Prices go up weekly. It takes too much time to keep changing all the prices. So then why not keep the price check machines so the public can find out how much a item truly is. So now untill you check out you have no idea what the price of an item will cost. Everything is a total sticker shock. Don't trust the prices you see on the shelves. She says now she is stopped constantly by customers asking for a price check because most employees carry a pricing gun. The thing is it's really hard to even find an employee working at Wal-Mart. They also have only one or two open lanes up at the check out and the rest are all self checkouts. That is by design. You the customer do all the work. Not fun at all shopping at Wal-Mart.

The Velveeta style Mac and cheese with the liquid cheese packs are almost $4 a box at Winn Dixie for store brand. At DT, they are obviously, a dollar. Now I'm not a picky eater, but that is one thing I'd say I'm choosie about. I found it hard to tell the difference between the one DT sells and Kraft. I buy it a lot because my autistic son LOVES it. He calls it fancy cheese. 🥰

I found one that was 2 or 3x the size only 7 more miles further, and I was blown away by the quality & selection of products. It's worth checking into to find the better stores.
