That was the first time I had Grey Poupon in, well, I honestly can't remember when the last time was. And of course I had to say the 'Pardon me," line as I opened it. I think I only have it because I found it at the discount grocery.

The only way to get out of World Market without breaking the bank is to not grab a basket or cart! Fun video can't wait to see your next adventure.

You are absolutely correct. They should do like Aldi and make you put money in it to get a cart only it has to be a $100 bill 😬

[@steveturner3999]

Not on the same page as making a MRE but I used to come up with food items in department stores when shopping with my late wife. Even in the women’s section of Kohl’s or Dillards I’d see food items I’d imagine as "survival food" in the event you were trapped in the store after hours. Crazy right? Fiji water was everywhere so beverage covered. There were multiple bougie chocolate bars or bites available so désert was covered. Expensive nuts or nut mixes were often there as well. Walk around snack done. I don’t seem to recall much of anything that could be considered an entree or side dish. There would be seasoning mixes and other dry stuffs in the housewares section and usually a microwave or toaster oven on display that could be plugged in to heat things up, if needed. Strange how my mind passed the time while accompanying her on a shopping trip. If you’re ever in the same situation keep your well trained eyes open for these things. You never know when you might be forced to survive in a department store !😂

I love it! My mind works the same way 😀

I would love to see people doing family (or friends) outings where everyone builds a MRE and presents what they built!

[@patriciacooke886]

@@dadbudgetadventures yes I am going to make a suggestion we do that. Everyone can pick what meal they want, either a breakfast, lunch or dinner.

[@edwardcnnell2853]

I have an emergency ration. There are Goobers which is mixed peanut butter and grape (or strawberry) jelly. The Walmart version is called Stripes, costs about $1 less, grape jelly only and comes in a plastic (Goobers is glass) jar so it won't beak on you. It weighs 16 ounces, has 2,100 calories and 50 grams of protean. Sorta like the WWIII D ration, can be eaten with a spoon, does not really need a drink to consume it. Not a satisfying meal but provides a day's calories in a very small package. Keep these for emergencies like getting really stranded in my truck.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

I need to try that. Sounds awesome!

[@mattparker2716]

Great video as usual, thank you. I have a place in Colorado Springs called Asia Pacific Market. They have a great selection of dried and canned food with good shelf life, and the prices are acceptable. If you have something like it near you, give it a look.

My wife was always a big fan of ours before it closed. She was really enjoying herself on the outing. Maybe a little too much 😬

[@MinuteMan1999]

Anything with World in the title, you know you are going to get taken advantage of one way or another. One suggestion on where to try shopping is a home improvement store. Surprisingly the Manards stores have a decent little food section. Lows, Home Depot, Ace Hardware... They always have stuff to be used as snacks or sides but an entree might be difficult to find. ✌️

[@dadbudgetadventures]

I haven’t had any luck with the hardware stores near me and we don’t have Menards. However there is one where my parents live and I’ll be going to see them in a couple weeks so that will be a stop when we go there.

I discovered your channel back when you had less than 2k subscribers. I’ve been very impressed with how you have evolved your content and interjection of humor. Your presentation skills are great and your delivery is fantastic. I appreciate your honesty, dedication, and preparation of your content. I know some might say this sounds like a love letter but it’s not 😂 I just think it’s important to share honest feedback with content creators when it is deserved. Very few creators take the time to read and respond to comments and I hope you can continue keep up with your channel growth. New challenge - MRE from a gas station convenience store. We don’t have Buckees here, but I’ve seen a video on shopping there for backpacking food. 7-11 might also be a good challenge. Until next week, cheers 😊

P.S. The soup might be good with Vodka and a celery stick?

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Thank you so much! That makes my day. Working on making a gas station MRE happen once I find the right place.

[@DavidPiniella]

The herb is probably lemongrass (or maybe galangal?). sweetened condensed milk would probably really help that thai tea.

That would be really good. This tea has a lot of possibilities for making some really good drinks.

For things that come in cans like that, might be worth tracking down some bulk silicone can covers to toss in with those MRE's. Usually work pretty well and betting there are other ways you could use them on top of using them to re-seal or put a top on a can.

Great idea! Thanks!

World Market also has so many fun “morale” kind of items you could throw in. Always fun to walk around ours when we have time to kill while we’re out. Prince of Peace Thai Tea mixes are pretty nice to carry… Has all the cream and sugar in one packet sort of like some of the instant coffee pouches do.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

I found so many things I’d put in my kits if they weren’t so expensive. Would make an amazing accessory pack but it would have $20 worth of stuff without even counting the food 😬

Hey here's a challenge carnivore mre. I just started a carnivore diet 1 week ago. So carnivore diet is any meats, butter or animal fat, dairy like hard cheese. There are other things but they are perishable type items. The drink can be just water or some black coffee. And you may have to pass on the dessert.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

I try to avoid doing diet specific MREs because I don’t have much knowledge about the specific requirements and would likely get it wrong. I don’t want to be the guy that tells someone to eat something that messes them up.

Man, THAT is dedication to your channel. For me, going to World Market is a once or twice a year thing specifically to pick up just a couple of things I can't find anywhere else. I know you have already done a Big Lots MRE for the channel - or maybe even a couple - but just FYI in case you might just want to try them (if they are still stocked) Big Lots used to sell - and maybe still do - Indian dishes that came in a cardboard box/sleeve with a retort pouch inside like your soup came in. They are vegetarian so I prefer to add meat but they are very good - I think they are better than any, similar things I have gotten elsewhere. I need to get by there and see if they still have them.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

I will definitely look for those!

[@Saltpork305]

I have never been in a world market and their prices are why. I can be a food nerd without having to take out a personal loan for groceries. I will admit little cans of nut mix are dope.

Have you considered a series where you make MRE’s that don’t have the same rules you use for these videos? Maybe give yourself the freedom to use a camping cook set. See what kind of meals you can make using only shelf stable ingredients. For example, making chicken tacos with canned chicken or something like that.

It was difficult to see the small "stick" on your finger but I think it was tamarind. Beautiful Bride and mother-in-law often make a tamarind soup for our table and we will find small bits that appear much like the unidentified item you displayed. That seasoning is common here in SE Asia.

Thanks for letting me know! And thanks for checking in from so far away. I always love hearing people tell me where they are from. It lets me know how far I’m reaching!

You should do more stand up comedy.

I’m afraid people would yell at me to sit down

[@saundrabechner8147]

To me a good MRE contains breakfast ,lunch and dinner. Toilet paper, napkin,wet wipe,pork and butter knife

[@dadbudgetadventures]

If it’s a 24 hour MRE it would definitely have all those things. Most MREs are single meal kits though. As far as accessory kits, I don’t usually make a deal about those because they don’t come from the store that’s being featured in the video.

[@annelemaitre302]

Have you tried Ollie’s yet?

[@dadbudgetadventures]

As a matter of fact I have. It was kind of the one that really kicked this trend off.

[@Swampfox-tr1rk]

Where can I find the review you did on the canned omelet you got from World Market?

What about a Target?

[@dadbudgetadventures]

I’ve tried a couple times but our Target is kinda lacking. I keep trying though. One day…

[@fredfinger7092]

Hi DBA. It's not clear to me. When you were at World Market, did you spend much money? On a serious note, I didn't know World Market was still in business. The one near me also closed years ago.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

I have no more money. Future videos will be made from the food pantry at a shelter somewhere.

[@HarshmanHills]

never know what you will come up with for a meal

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Always something interesting in the mix

You came to Nashville and you didn't even call me? hahahaha Didn't know you lived relatively close to Nashville.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Yep. I’m in the Memphis area. I’m going to be at Montgomery Bell State Park on June 9 for Ernest Day if you’re in the area and want to swing by and say hi. You might even get into the video I’ll be shooting about it.

[@RicG.]

@@dadbudgetadventures Cool. Didn't even know about Ernest Day, nor did I know the movie was shot at Montgomery Bell. Love Jim Varney's silly stuff. I'll try to attend. If I do and see you there, I'll introduce myself. Just a heads up - based on the info I found online, the event is on June 8th (Saturday) and not June 9th, which is a Sunday. Wouldn't want you to make the trip a day late. 😀

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Yeah that’s what I meant. I keep getting the date mixed up in my head but I know I’ll be there Saturday. That’s the important part 😂

You too, bud. Thank you!

So out of curiosity how does skipping the longer advertisements hurt creators? Do creators get paid a extra amount if we suffer through the extra long advertisements?

[@dadbudgetadventures]

My understanding is that it doesn’t hurt (not like quitting the video part way in) but the longer you watch the more pennies they give me. So it’s not an algorithm thing as much as a watch time thing.

[@scp8439]

I left with a shopping cart full of candy bars. Yes, I had a second mortgage

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Seems about right 😂

[@Robonoobatron]

So I didn't get any ads but that's because I have youtube premium, so the ad money still is coming to you!

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Good to know! Thanks for supporting anyway 😀

[@redwolfexr]

LOL, I pay for membership, so I have no idea how much you get when I watch. I don't get ads.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Not enough 😂

[@manlystranger4973]

The lesson I learned from this video is to prep your MRE's from Walmart and to save World Market for looting after the Zombie Apocalypse. Your challenge now is to go back to Walmart and prepare an MRE which costs as much as World Market and compare the gourmet quality.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

I could almost do a 24 hour MRE for that cost. A single meal at that cost would be epic!

[@trevorvalentine7721]

So let's go more expensive (and probably a bit hard, since you can't get single serve items.) Costco, Sam's, BJ's or another wholesale club... but your wife must go with you!

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Ya see, you had me until that last part. You just want me to be broke, don’t ya? 😂

[@trevorvalentine7721]

@@dadbudgetadventures I laughed way too hard when you said you took her in at World Market. The way you hung your head .. I feel that pain.
