Bobby! You make such a great point about how it is unfair for these companies to think they can charge three times as much for a product simply because they excluded an ingredient. I wish you would talk about this more. You don’t have to spend a lot to get great food in many instances! Love your show!
I was just diagnosed with lupus SLE and refuse to take medications. Watching your videos has taught me so much and I'm learning how to cook different healthy foods . Thank you 😊❤️
Thanks for doing the research Bobby! As a working mom, I want healthy meals for my family but sometimes there is confusion on exactly which item are healthy and which are full of ish! Thanks!
Yes!! I swear by the Turneric Tea whenever I make big batch of it my family never gets sick... no exaggerating and I totally prefer to use fresh turmeric.
I LOVE the eggs from Vital Farms for pasture raised eggs, or my locally grown pasture raised Seven Sons eggs. They’re really worth the extra coin because the taste is superior to conventional “industrial” eggs.
I visited Vital Farms a few years ago. A truly amazing experience to see chickens acting like chickens (in a world of factory farms), living outside and enjoying life. The farmers refer to them as “the ladies” and if they lay eggs that day, great- if not it’s ok!
I appreciate your hard work and putting out these important videos to educate the public on healthy products, healthy recipes keeping our whole family healthy! Keep it coming please!
I totally agree with ur recommendations, this is where I do my shopping. Through the years of learning and experiencing I have learned what to buy and not buy. I love your videos
It's kind of interesting how shoppers will do a bit of research and look at reviews when it comes to most products they buy, but when it comes to food people just pick things up at the grocery store without doing any due diligence at all. This opens consumers up to vast amounts of exploitation which is pretty evident if you really look into the content and quality of our food options. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
can you also do a video on cornish hens ducks and quails here in Detroit we have an Eastern Market and I really enjoy the taste of cornish hen since it's naturally a small bird you can prepare it different ways and it's a real nice choice not a lot of GMO I generally get them out of all these I find have a better price for to run something about $7 and something also I would like it if you could do a video on turmeric versus Coumadin wild oregano versus regular cooking Oregano spice and coriander what are some of the benefits of vitamin E pepper Rica and the benefits of Himalayan beige Himalayan pink as well as black salt please do a video on these and also one on wild turkeys
Your videos are like a crash-course in budget-friendly grocery shopping...I Love it!! Yes, make a vid on ketchup. What about diy marshmallow recipe? I've seen vegan options but they are expensive. I try to skip on soy
Bobby, the more I see you, the more I try your recipes, the more I absolutely adore you!!!! Thank you for another fab video. I thought I'd given up on WF because of the prices, but you may have enticed me back! You've become my go-to chef, kiddo.
I've recently subscribed because my daughter is also subscribed and she said you have e a lot of keto friendly recipes. Love your recipes and your grocery hauls. So helpful. I'd love to see a Fresh Thyme haul. I live in Three Oaks, Michigan, not too far from you. It's. great seeing your family involved in your videos. And Art of course! Keep up them good work.
Another cool tip for Whole Foods is the water station. DON"T spend eight bucks for 16 ozs of peruvian rain water in a box..... You can get a gallon of great water for 99 cents! :) Just saying.
FlavCity with Bobby Parrish it’s cool some have the alkaline water spout that one is 99 cents. Regular reverse osmosis water is just 45 cents a gallon! Lol love my water.
I haven't seen one in your feed, but I'd love to find out how you prepare your BROTHS, how and for how long do you store them ... All the possible benefits! Thanks and congrats on this vid. Essential, down-to-earth stuff! Love from Poland!
1) You convinced me to try organic chicken now. 🤔 different flavor. 2) I didn't know spices go bad🙁 time to clean out the spice rack. I'd love you guys to come over to Vegas and go shopping with me here at Smith's. Great excuse to take a Vegas trip🤗
Wow, this was a wealth of information. I shop at Whole Foods and didn't know half of what you presented. Watched the video for the 2nd time and took notes so I would shop smarter next week. Also, thank you for all recipe references. Would love a ketchup and mayo lesson. Thanks, this was great!
The farmed Salmon at Whole Foods also is fed ground shrimp shells and crill which is rich in nutrients for natural pink coloring. Other supermarkets do synthetic lab produced pink to achieve that color.
I love Whole Foods, and nutritional yeast in bulk is one of my go to's, and the spices! I get my eggs from a small local shop in Texas that are farm pasture raised eggs 12 for under $3.
Thank you! I requested this type of video because we now have a Whole Foods and picking up “a few things” has cost me almost $100.00 per visit for the last 3 weeks. I buy Amy’s soups at Walmart in PA for $2.18 compared to almost $4.00 at Whole F, so I’m learning. My Walmart also has those Pasta Zero noodles for $2.28 and Maple Hill yogurt for $5.48.
I am a WIC recipient and was super happy when I was able to purchase the organic pasture raised eggs. I grew up on organic pasture raises bc my grandmother who would be 90 if alive that's how she raised her chickens. The taste of the yolk is way richer
Patricia H yes we need that recipe because I actually bought that 6.00 bottle of ketchup because I need to avoid the sugar. 😥. Maybe I missed it I see this video is 3 months ago
These grocery videos are simply great! One of these days I'm going to create a doc of "Buy This...Not That" and "Where" so I can have it with me when I shop. Thank you!
Hey Bobby! Can you make a video specifically for vegans? Would be much appreciated. Love all your comparison shopping videos for different foods. Doing a great job!
Whole foods has the best music 👌 But you missed the 365 ice cream that's good stuff especially if you get the almond milk Carmel Whiskey 😋😜 Hummus is always on my list I know I can make it and I should but there's isn't that expensive so I buy WF lemon hummus. Yes do the Wal Mart and Sam's club next 👍🏾Lidl/Leedel German grocery store better than Aldi by 3.5points is a favorite for sure.
My local farmstand where I always got my eggs just closed forever. These Vital pasture-raised eggs are the closest thing I've found. I used to pay $6.50 at the farmers market, so six bucks for these is comparable. And they are SO worth it.
Hi Bobby, I have tried the quinoa salad and ground beef hamburgers so far. They are DELICIOUS!!! Thanks for going through the stores and talking what to buy/avoid. Another store to check out will be Fred Meyer (Kroger). I shop there for organic produce and would like to know what else do you recommend from them. Gracias!
Some of my favorite deals at Whole Foods are ... Evolution cold press green drinks on sale for $3.50 ( Normally sell for $4.99). Avocados are a great deal too...Four avocados For $4.99. Primal chocolate bars ( 100% dark)...Two for $5 (1/2 price on sale all the time) There really are a lot of good deals at whole foods. Some foods are expensive ....just wait for the sales.
PLEASE! Do a video on the produce section. All fruits and vegetables have have a sticker with a number. Neither four or five digits. The number indicates, Organically Grown, Conventionally Grown, or GMO. Organic starts with a 9(five digits) Conventionally " a 4 (four digit #) GMO starts with 3 (four digit #) Is this true? This would make it easy for us consumers. Thank you, love your videos.
ALLLL your videos are worth to be seen over and over and over! Its too much good info and the cooking videos .... BEYOND AMAZING AND GOOD. Love ur channels, (IG, yt,)💕💕💕💕
After the Trader Joe video, I went straight away and grabbed most of the things he pointed out. I especially now love the Trader Joe's Coconut Aminos sauce. I. Used it on baked chicken and it is delicious
If you're looking for a vegan milk that's more sustainable than almond milk, this is one of my favorite products at Whole Foods (and today I found out they have this elsewhere): Good Karma Flaxmilk + Protein, Vanilla. It's more sustainably produced than almond milk, and has 8g protein 1g carbs per cup (dairy milk is usually 8g protein 12g carbs!). I'm not a vegan, but it's nice to know that I can get a lot of protein without many carbs from a plant-based product.
Hola Bobby! Looooove your recipes and valuable info.. I am following you in all social media platform!! I will love to learn how to do my own mayo, ketchup and bone broth💓.. besitos a Desi😘
As an FYI, there are a number of fresh water or landlocked fish from the salmon family with good oils and excellent flavour. You just have to make sure that they grew up in really cold, clean water. These fish are rainbow trout (yes its salmon family), and Kokanee & Steelhead (BC, Yukon and NWT Canada). They are often available at Costco for a very good price and except for the trout are often wild caught. Even West Coast Canadians often cannot tell the difference in flavour or texture between wild Steelhead and wild Salmon. Best served baked coated with a freshly made dill mayo.
Thank God Sprouts has opened in my area. I am now one of their biggest consumer. Their spices and all their bulk items are the best in flavor and freshness. So many specials every week. Seafood and Meat selection is top notch and very fresh too. Boneless chicken thighs were $1.99 per lb. Their poultry is best priced and flavor is not to be believed.
I love grocery store videos like this, thank you:) great info about chicken meat and eggs. I have bought that Sir Kensington brand mayonnaise , its expensive but when I tried to make my own mayonnaise it was a disaster. I would appreciate a DIY mayo video because I want to try again to make mayo. I avoid anything made with soybean oil so I stopped buying Hellmann's brand mayo.
The home made version is much tastier in my opinion. I wish I could replicate the Mayo served with fries from vans on the street in countries like Belgium and Holland.
I've had gourmet chef made mayonnaise, and I think that the Sir Kensington product tastes exactly the same! If you live in the area of Philadelphia-Atlantic City, New Jersey-Delaware Valley, the big regional supermarket chain ShopRite carries it at a much lower price than the Whole Foods in the same region. 😉👍
Just today I went to the grocery store and I exercised some of your tips...made me out to be a genius😌but i gave credit😆. Really great advice for any grocery list and super hauls👍
Saw too many kids and adults contaminate the bulk bins with their bare hands, plus tongs were rarely cleaned. Rats were found regularly quiet evenings at Whole Foods bulk bins in Georgetown, DC and Tenleytown, DC. Modern packaging - I'm in!
Ohhh I've just seen 2 of your videos but I already love what you do! Please keep them coming. Am so bad with grocery shopping and I know I would get tons of education from your channel.
Ref 11:15 - 365 Organic almond milk ... yes, good price ... how does it taste though? I have done a tasting comparison of the two brand name, Silk and Blue Diamond. With the same flavor variety (original, unsweetened, plain), the Silk brand tasted waaaay better ... it has very good and noticeable almond flavor; the Blue Diamond brand is *completely TASTELESS* ... you might as well be drinking plain water.
After working at wholefoods I observed the enormous WASTE and Markup. This company is robbing you STUPID and polluting the world at the same time. I quit Wholefoodsmarket: now I just dumpster dive there and find gems all the time. Jeff Bezos can afford to give every US citizen a house of $200,000. Yet he is selfish and robs people, namely you at the store. Boycott Wholefoods.
@@rb7454 i work at whole foods. wow. i also noticed they are super wasteful. im not even sure they compost tbh. but what do you mean about the huge markup and the selfish jeff bezos guy?
For those who shop at Trader Joe's, their pasture raised eggs are $3.99 always. I bought pasture raised at my local mart for $6.49, and Bobby was 100% accurate, the egg was super clear. But I'm grateful that I didn't buy multiple, because that same day I ended up at Trader Joe's and saw that their pasture raised eggs are always at $3.99. I plan on viewing other prices at the other grocery stores that I frequent. I'm lucky because not only do we have Costco, Trader Joe's, WholeFoods, Target (3 Targets with two in one town lol!), and Walmart, but we also have soooo many other grocery stores including small ones, so it's nice to be able to comparison shop. I don't think I'll find $3.99 or lower, but the base price for pasture raised seems to be $3.99
I love how you talked about the chicken meat. How much it is a pound and recipes you have etc.... But the bottom line is it's a dead animal that suffered for your own taste buds. I do like your other tips and where to buy items at other places. Thanks for doing this.
Looking forward to when you checkout Wal-Mart & Sprouts. We have them here in FL. Love your videos. We're on the Keto-Paleo journey, with y'all. Come on down to FL today will be sunny & 79. :-)
I love your videos, health info, shopping reviews, & most of all recipes. This community & movement towards reclaiming our health (Keto-Paleo-Wholistic etc) is really spreading. It applies to young & old, all are WELCOME to reclaim great health. Its never too late to make a change. Thank you so much.
Love your advice on selecting the best chicken and how to prepare it. I used to purchase the chubbiest chicken parts and wondered why they had the flavor of packing peanuts. Need to make the Moroccan Chicken soon. Great advice for Whole Foods, Aldi's, and Trader Joe's. Love the meal prep video's. I'm also from the Midwest--hope you weren't out during the insanely "colder than the Antartic" polar vortex Chicago weather!
Can’t wait for a walmart haul. I’m there a lot because I get my gas at walmart and Latin food by the pound (only in Miami) but rarely groceries. Please make avocado mayo and ketchup videos. Took your advice on getting smaller bottles of spices that are fresh. Aldi has insane turnover so it’s pretty fresh. Note Sams club has their own knock off califa almond milk which is my favorite almond milk and is a real treat.
Don't buy their instant potatoes. Everytime I get them they have bugs in them. Shop Trader Joe's, much better all around. Plus they always have plenty of free fresh hot coffee and a bite to eat. ALDI'S is also a great store. ☕🍽
I called the company who makes those pasture raised eggs you like and they admitted they used GMO feed on that particular product line. They sell other lines that don't use that feed but this one does, at least since I last checked. Yes they are pasture raised but the GMO use turned me off. You really have to check the package labeling out and call the company if in doubt with any product. I called this company over a year ago and don't know if they have changed their policy. Another call would be in order. Otherwise you are supporting GMO feed producers. Keep in mind Whole Foods does not necessarily weed out GMO use in all the products they sell. You have to make sure it is marked as not containing it, otherwise you risk buying GMO. You need to verify that yourself, and continue monitoring to make sure the information on particular products is current. Policies can change without you knowing. Companies can switch back to cheaper GMO use at whim if they have not labeled their product as not containing it. Remember too that non-GMO does not equate to pesticide free.
Yes, it states that on their website. Also turns me off that they do feed them “non processed” gmo corn and soy. Like you said they do offer organic and non gmo eggs, but I can’t find any store in my area that carries them!
@@joesmith-em2cd To me, it is morally deceptive. They are within the law but many, if not most people, are fooled. I ate these eggs for a long time thinking I was doing good and I was not. Now I just go for organic pasture raised. I realize that many people do not have access to those and that is a shame. Sometimes a letter to the store manager explaining why they should offer better quality eggs does the trick and they make them available. They don't want to eat GMO either!
I don't do any fad diets. I'm simply trying to eat healthier. Cleaner purer meat mainly. And eggs. You're videos are so easy to watch and understand. Thank you. I'll start buying organic simple truth almond milk at Kroger.
Since you're in Chicago, can you do a Hispanic market visit for example.. Cermak produce, la Chiquita, el Guero? Please... I live in Oswego Illinois but grew up in the Cicero/Berwyn area. Thank you for your videos I enjoy them so much! #keto
Conventional Chicken deteriorated more and more over the years. The Chicken Breast now are like rubber and have fat striations and marbling in the muscle.
We just need better restaurants to start popping up. The consumers really control what they sell us. If people took their food more seriously, we would have much better options to choose from. I see the changes coming for sure, its just going to take time.
Most of the older cookbooks that have chicken recipes call for 2 1/2 to 3 pound chicken. The newer ones say 2 1/2 to 3 pounds chicken parts! You can’t hardly find a whole chicken that small!
Oh dear! It is like people putting their 'paws' into nuts at a bar. As I have Celiac disease I dare no use Bulk Bins anyway for fear of cross contamination. Do WF not provide a small shovel? I enjoy your videos.
In a different grocery store I once saw a woman at the self-serve soups take a ladle full of soup from the pot, taste about a mouthful then put the ladle with the remaining soup in it back into the pot. Sometimes I don't understand people at all!
Just discovered your TH-cam channel. It's so informative. I am trying to change the way we eat & your channel has been so educational to me. Thank you!!🙏🏼

Even West Coast Canadians often cannot tell the difference in flavour or texture between wild Steelhead and wild Salmon. Best served baked coated with a freshly made dill mayo.
You’re freaking great! Thank you for the amazing video!!
Thank God Sprouts has opened in my area. I am now one of their biggest consumer. Their spices and all their bulk items are the best in flavor and freshness. So many specials every week. Seafood and Meat selection is top notch and very fresh too. Boneless chicken thighs were $1.99 per lb. Their poultry is best priced and flavor is not to be believed.
I love grocery store videos like this, thank you:) great info about chicken meat and eggs. I have bought that Sir Kensington brand mayonnaise , its expensive but when I tried to make my own mayonnaise it was a disaster. I would appreciate a DIY mayo video because I want to try again to make mayo. I avoid anything made with soybean oil so I stopped buying Hellmann's brand mayo.
The home made version is much tastier in my opinion. I wish I could replicate the Mayo served with fries from vans on the street in countries like Belgium and Holland.
I've had gourmet chef made mayonnaise, and I think that the Sir Kensington product tastes exactly the same! If you live in the area of Philadelphia-Atlantic City, New Jersey-Delaware Valley, the big regional supermarket chain ShopRite carries it at a much lower price than the Whole Foods in the same region. 😉👍
Great show dudes, I found a bread at Mariano's that has only 2 carbs a slice. U can't beat that.
👍🏼
Just today I went to the grocery store and I exercised some of your tips...made me out to be a genius😌but i gave credit😆. Really great advice for any grocery list and super hauls👍
Thank you so much. There's nothing better than making your own almond milk.
Your are very educational and encouraging. Keep them coming!!!
Saw too many kids and adults contaminate the bulk bins with their bare hands, plus tongs were rarely cleaned. Rats were found regularly quiet evenings at Whole Foods bulk bins in Georgetown, DC and Tenleytown, DC. Modern packaging - I'm in!
Yes, a condiment video would be great!! Love your videos , very informative ❤️
Ohhh I've just seen 2 of your videos but I already love what you do! Please keep them coming. Am so bad with grocery shopping and I know I would get tons of education from your channel.
Also, I love getting my bones from Whole Foods to make my bone broth, do you have a video on that? Where you get your bones, best bones, etc.?
Ref 11:15 - 365 Organic almond milk ... yes, good price ... how does it taste though?
I have done a tasting comparison of the two brand name, Silk and Blue Diamond. With the same flavor variety (original, unsweetened, plain), the Silk brand tasted waaaay better ... it has very good and noticeable almond flavor; the Blue Diamond brand is *completely TASTELESS* ... you might as well be drinking plain water.
i like the flavor, but i should do a side by side ;)
I think I just fell in love with Whole Foods all over again 😆😆
reunited and it feels so good!
After working at wholefoods I observed the enormous WASTE and Markup. This company is robbing you STUPID and polluting the world at the same time. I quit Wholefoodsmarket: now I just dumpster dive there and find gems all the time. Jeff Bezos can afford to give every US citizen a house of $200,000. Yet he is selfish and robs people, namely you at the store. Boycott Wholefoods.
@@rb7454 i work at whole foods. wow. i also noticed they are super wasteful. im not even sure they compost tbh. but what do you mean about the huge markup and the selfish jeff bezos guy?
For those who shop at Trader Joe's, their pasture raised eggs are $3.99 always. I bought pasture raised at my local mart for $6.49, and Bobby was 100% accurate, the egg was super clear. But I'm grateful that I didn't buy multiple, because that same day I ended up at Trader Joe's and saw that their pasture raised eggs are always at $3.99. I plan on viewing other prices at the other grocery stores that I frequent. I'm lucky because not only do we have Costco, Trader Joe's, WholeFoods, Target (3 Targets with two in one town lol!), and Walmart, but we also have soooo many other grocery stores including small ones, so it's nice to be able to comparison shop. I don't think I'll find $3.99 or lower, but the base price for pasture raised seems to be $3.99
Thank you. So informative and inspiring. Loving these videos
So excited you mentioned turmeric root! I just happened to pick these up and I include them when I make my fresh juices.
great scoop!
Can you do a video on Sprouts!! What to get and what to avoid.
I love Pete and Gerry’s eggs. You can actually see tours of their farms. They are so ethical.
👍🏼
Hi Bobby,
Thanks for the information.
I love how you talked about the chicken meat. How much it is a pound and recipes you have etc.... But the bottom line is it's a dead animal that suffered for your own taste buds. I do like your other tips and where to buy items at other places. Thanks for doing this.
Can you post turmeric tea PLEASE, thank you , I started watching you on TH-cam 👌🏿✅
Looking forward to when you checkout Wal-Mart & Sprouts. We have them here in FL. Love your videos. We're on the Keto-Paleo journey, with y'all. Come on down to FL today will be sunny & 79. :-)
roads trip hauls are defo in the future!
I love your videos, health info, shopping reviews, & most of all recipes. This community & movement towards reclaiming our health (Keto-Paleo-Wholistic etc) is really spreading. It applies to young & old, all are WELCOME to reclaim great health. Its never too late to make a change. Thank you so much.
I saw your audi with “flav city” license plates
ha, right on!!!
Love your advice on selecting the best chicken and how to prepare it. I used to purchase the chubbiest chicken parts and wondered why they had the flavor of packing peanuts. Need to make the Moroccan Chicken soon. Great advice for Whole Foods, Aldi's, and Trader Joe's. Love the meal prep video's. I'm also from the Midwest--hope you weren't out during the insanely "colder than the Antartic" polar vortex Chicago weather!
filmed this just b4 the polar vortex hit!! ha thanks
Looking forward for the Walmart one !!
It's taking forever
Can’t wait for a walmart haul. I’m there a lot because I get my gas at walmart and Latin food by the pound (only in Miami) but rarely groceries.
Please make avocado mayo and ketchup videos.
Took your advice on getting smaller bottles of spices that are fresh. Aldi has insane turnover so it’s pretty fresh.
Note Sams club has their own knock off califa almond milk which is my favorite almond milk and is a real treat.
gotta check out sams!
Have we met Art yet? Lol I love your informative videos. The eggs especially.
Don't buy their instant potatoes. Everytime I get them they have bugs in them. Shop Trader Joe's, much better all around. Plus they always have plenty of free fresh hot coffee and a bite to eat. ALDI'S is also a great store. ☕🍽
I called the company who makes those pasture raised eggs you like and they admitted they used GMO feed on that particular product line. They sell other lines that don't use that feed but this one does, at least since I last checked. Yes they are pasture raised but the GMO use turned me off. You really have to check the package labeling out and call the company if in doubt with any product. I called this company over a year ago and don't know if they have changed their policy. Another call would be in order. Otherwise you are supporting GMO feed producers. Keep in mind Whole Foods does not necessarily weed out GMO use in all the products they sell. You have to make sure it is marked as not containing it, otherwise you risk buying GMO. You need to verify that yourself, and continue monitoring to make sure the information on particular products is current. Policies can change without you knowing. Companies can switch back to cheaper GMO use at whim if they have not labeled their product as not containing it. Remember too that non-GMO does not equate to pesticide free.
crossclaim1 it’s not that deep
Yes, it states that on their website. Also turns me off that they do feed them “non processed” gmo corn and soy. Like you said they do offer organic and non gmo eggs, but I can’t find any store in my area that carries them!
It is deep when the company is bragging about how much healthier their eggs are than the standard conventional or cage free eggs.
@@joesmith-em2cd To me, it is morally deceptive. They are within the law but many, if not most people, are fooled. I ate these eggs for a long time thinking I was doing good and I was not. Now I just go for organic pasture raised. I realize that many people do not have access to those and that is a shame. Sometimes a letter to the store manager explaining why they should offer better quality eggs does the trick and they make them available. They don't want to eat GMO either!
Just recently checked their website and it's the same. However I am not against GMOs so I'm totally fine with the regular kind.
I don't do any fad diets. I'm simply trying to eat healthier. Cleaner purer meat mainly. And eggs. You're videos are so easy to watch and understand. Thank you.
I'll start buying organic simple truth almond milk at Kroger.
Looking forward to this video
Edit: Whole Foods is cool. My son loves their frozen corn & carrots.
I hope you enjoy!!
FlavCity with Bobby Parrish thank you so much & I know I will
Since you're in Chicago, can you do a Hispanic market visit for example.. Cermak produce, la Chiquita, el Guero? Please... I live in Oswego Illinois but grew up in the Cicero/Berwyn area. Thank you for your videos I enjoy them so much! #keto
Cermak Produce :-)
Why are you making me so hungry with your cooking 😋
I En Right?!!! I can’t wait to try one of his recipes!
Thank you so much, You helped me a lot in improving my choices.
Conventional Chicken deteriorated more and more over the years. The Chicken Breast now are like rubber and have fat striations and marbling in the muscle.
Sure makes it hard to order chicken at a restaurant. I love my organic pasture raised chicken....
so sad..and so true!
We just need better restaurants to start popping up. The consumers really control what they sell us. If people took their food more seriously, we would have much better options to choose from. I see the changes coming for sure, its just going to take time.
Most of the older cookbooks that have chicken recipes call for 2 1/2 to 3 pound chicken. The newer ones say 2 1/2 to 3 pounds chicken parts! You can’t hardly find a whole chicken that small!
Lidl's really popular here in Europe. I'd love you to do a video there.
Bobby I was shopping in the bulk bins once and saw a lady put her hand in the bin. So now I’m very choosy what I get out of them.
that does not surprise me..at least it was not me!! i use a plastic baggie ;)
I only get stuff the bulk bins that pour out from a spout for that exact reason
Oh dear! It is like people putting their 'paws' into nuts at a bar. As I have Celiac disease I dare no use Bulk Bins anyway for fear of cross contamination. Do WF not provide a small shovel? I enjoy your videos.
Same here. I saw a kid getting almonds with his hands, putting some in his mouth and the rest back in the bulk bins.
In a different grocery store I once saw a woman at the self-serve soups take a ladle full of soup from the pot, taste about a mouthful then put the ladle with the remaining soup in it back into the pot. Sometimes I don't understand people at all!
You want to make sure the tumeric and ginger roots are organic. Their highly sprayed with pesticides.
Bobby, can you show us how you dethaw meat please?
The fact a video with this title is necessary speaks volumes.
Yes make the avocado oil mayo for us please !
Kalvin Patel yes!!
Just discovered your TH-cam channel. It's so informative. I am trying to change the way we eat & your channel has been so educational to me. Thank you!!🙏🏼
Just saw you in my newsfeed.
Subbed!
More vegan content please thank you!!
thanks so much!
Wow I can't believe how bland my food was till I started using your recipes! Soooooo delicious!!
