Walmart vs. Erewhon Taste Test

[@maryquitecontrary9669]

I just imagine after any of the food episodes the crew gets the weirdest potluck lunch with the extras

I think that all the time. The Tillamook ice cream buffet was probably tough for the lactose crowd.

Erewhon used to be a semi normal independent health food store. They only very slowly morphed into an expensive luxury status type store. I work nearby, but rarely go there. It's weird that people would pay 15 bucks for an egg salad sandwich. It's just boiled eggs and mayo!

[@MrKuncol]

What you described is egg salad. Egg salad sandwich also contains bread. \s

[@joeperkins4309]

​@@MrKuncolwell that changes everything. It has to be worth 15 bucks if it includes bread 🤣

I love that every time they do these episodes they talk up Kroger at the beginning and then get surprised when Walmart is better almost every round.

[@breezemansker3366]

For real🤣

[@maevekirkland9452]

except kroger does have the best stuff generally

[@CurtisFamilyEntertainment]

It’s also basically the same price as Walmart cents on the dollar difference at most.

[@olivia.boutilier]

I know these episodes aren’t super fast paced or exciting but they’re my favourites. I like naked foods, any taste test, comparisons. They’re mild but sometimes you need to cleanse your pallet

Would love to see a mythical kitchen episode on what the crew does with all the leftover food, especially the chicken

$18 for a rotisserie chicken almost seems reasonable to me. Especially if you compare it to a $15 egg salad sandwich or a $21 bowl of soup.

[@PinHeadSupliciumwtf]

The best chicken I ever had was a 26€ local organic free-range and all that one my mom cooked.

[@inbluwoods4022]

Compared to Costco’s $5 chicken it seems insane, but at least it feeds 4+ people

Walmart definitely benefits from the fact they don't have to go in the Walmart. And it might not be true anymore but when I went to Walmart as a kid they weren't very clean. It can be hard to get past those kinds of strong associations.
