The Buc-ee's in my area (San Antonio, TX) also have lights above each toilet stall near the ceiling, and they are green when the toilet is vacant, and turn red once someone is in the stall. It's amazing, so you just look for one with a green light, since there are so many, and you can see it from across the massive room.
This makes me so happy! I live 10 minutes from Buc-ee's and every time I go there, I think of all the snacks y'all need to try! When you come to Texas, you'll definitely have to get the chocolate covered pecans and pulled pork sandwiches. They're my absolute favorite treats from Buc-ee's. On the topic of gas prices, because the U.S. and particularly Texas has so many oil refineries, we don't have to import as much gas, making it much cheaper for us. I laughed when you said Texas seemed very deserty. Texas is so large we actually have over 10 different climate regions. The only area that's considered desert is West Texas!
You can buy groceries/cleaning items, any snack or candy you could think of, there is a brisket bar, fudge bar, ice cream station, beef jerky bar, bakery, t shirts/shorts, boutique like clothing and jewlery, nice kitchen items, alcohol, and many many more things . . . But tbh I always stop for the bathrooms
Such a great box!! I’ve been to Texas a few times, but never been to buc-ees! Texas and I don’t get along with the humidity, so that’s how it helps it keep those greens looking lush! Will be so much fun to get to see you guys go new places and try things! I’ve loved the videos you’ve done before with that 🤗 you would loooove to go to Pike Place Market in Seattle! The food! The shops! The waterfront! The music! Such a fun time! And the very first Starbucks is still there across from the market. But the fun you’ll get to share with all of us when travel opens back up more! And exciting for WTF coming back!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 bring it on!! Cheers to an amazing week ahead to you all! Hugs all around! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’ll have to visit a Buc-EE’s next time you are in the area! Ahh I didn’t even think about the humidity. That makes sense now as to why it was so green! Glad to hear you would be excited for those videos 😀😀 it would be awesome to visit Seattle one day! Would be great to meet in person! That’s so cool the first Starbucks is still there. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week Somer ♥️♥️🥰😘♥️♥️
I live in between the dallas and denton locations of bucees and they're the most affordable gas in the area. You have to try their fudge when you get there! The birthday cake flavor is my favorite!
I live in Texas. I once worked with a guy that said he & his family go to Bucee's every season to get whatever is new. His kids have t-shirts, cups, etc for every holiday. Regular Beaver Nuggets left in a hot car are the so good! 🤤
There's a bucee's about an hour from me in south Alabama and we stop through every time we go to and from Florida not even to get gas but to stock up on snacks. Their cream soda is amazing. I get cinnamon sugar pecans, potato salad, ranch crackers with pimento cheese, fudge, beef jerky, and beaver nuggets!
I live in Central Florida and we just got a Buckees in Daytona Beach, so when you come to the US , You can come visit Central Florida and also go to Buckees!!!
And as far as food, if you’re going to the south I would suggest southern Louisiana for Cajun food. Full of flavor and comfort. And can’t miss out on the hospitality😊
hello, i live in texas, and buc-ees special homemade stuff is fairly cheap, like the snack rings are about 2 or 3 dollars, the cheese curls and 3 dollars and the buc-ee's crackers are 2 dollars, and they do have cereal, buts its like the small little containers than you get at school, btw the beaver nuggets are my fav they about 3 dollars
I can’t wait to see you visit Buc-ee’s! I highly suggest you visit multiple locations - 2 of the huge ones and and then maybe 1 small one. The small locations are great too and still have so much of the great goodies, just not as much. And the restrooms are the best!
I live in the south and for travel destination recommendations I would definitely say Savannah, Georgia ( it’s beautiful and extreme southern hospitality ) Destin, Florida has the most beautiful beach with crystal clear water , and my number one pick is Colonial Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia because there are so many, many things to see and do! You can learn the history of the first colonies of the US, go to Yorktown which is an historic battlefield, go to Jamestown which was where the first settlers were, go to Bush Gardens which is a great amusement park and take a tour of the the Budweiser beer factory and see the amazing Budweiser Clydesdales . It’s so much fun and you will learn a lot if history about the United States and the revolution.
There's a huge difference between gas in Canada & the US too. Average gas price/L right now is 1.19, in Winnipeg. The price varies widely across the country Most gas station washrooms I've seen are just single user washrooms, no stalls.
I live across the street from a Bucee’s. They do have a good amount of regular grocery items (milk, cheese, canned goods, etc) and they also have normal gas station snack brands. They also have a full deli where you can order food, and my personal favorite their brisket sandwiches or their breakfast tacos 🤤
We just got 2 buckees in Florida in the spring. They are scattered around the southern states. We did take an hour long detour to visit it! Its so worth it. You have to try the hot foods when you are able to travel!
Kate I agree with you on the chocolate covered caramels! I discovered them last summer and now always grab 2 when I’m in a Buc-ee’s. I had never showed my daughter - it was always my treat I snuck! This last weekend she saw I was buying 2 and asked if she could have 1. I couldn’t say no of course. She loved it too! Btw, they are 2/$1!
We don’t have a Buc-ees in PA.. but in my area we have Wawa and sheetz and now we are starting to get another gas station called Rutters . Rutters is a rest station geared towards truck drivers. But they sell so much food items.
And yes.. I’m from Louisiana. We use mason jars for everything! Storing jam, drinking sweet tea out of them, moon shine as well. They can be used for anything🤷🏻♀️😂
I used to live in a trailer in the National forest in East Texas. I would let my nearest neighbor pick plums from my trees. Then he’d bring me mason jars full of plum moonshine. Delicious and STRONG.
I would loooove to visit Texas. It's an amazing state to visit with its nice people, delicious food, lovely accent, and breathtaking landscapes! That hint about the WTF though, so excited 😁😍
Hi Kate & Alex! Just remember when planning your trip to Texas, we are a HUGE state and one can drive literally all day, and not make it out! Dallas & Fort Worth are a must, though I know you've been here. In the DFW metro-area, you must visit Grapevine, which borders DFW Airport. Our State Capital city is Austin (about 2.5 hours drive south of DFW) and I think you would love the MUSIC and art it offers. San Antonio (home of the Alamo.. history there) is nice with amazing Mexican food. Hill Country/Big Bend.. have a look for hiking and lovely scenery. Long time fan here, and so fun watching yours and Alex's success! ❤🇨🇱
If you’re going to visit Tennessee, you NEED to go to pigeon forge and gatlinburg-visit Dollywood. There’s lots of amazing foods there! 💙 And you’re in the Great Smokey Mountains, which is a huge, beautiful plus!!
It's true, everything is bigger in Texas! That gas station looked like a mall, it has everything! Lots of great treats too...another awesome video guys!
Gas in Texas is much cheaper because they drill for gasoline right there, we are in California and the other day my husband filled up our truck, 25 gallons and it cose close to $100 and we expect the prices to go up because of the Summer Tourist season. Pepper jellies are all somewhat the same but a little different depending on the peppers used and the company that makes them, thanks to the two of you I went online and ordered 6 or 7 of the Pepper Lane Jellies and my daughter invaded my stash and took some home, so I haven't tasted them all but we're hoping to do a small trip to Utah and in a few months so we might need to make a side trip. Thanks for sharing your adventure with Bucc-ees, it was fun to watch.
My aunt used to make jalapeno jelly and to this day its my favorite thing ever. My mom used to take chicken breasts and season them with Tony's seasoning and bake them in the oven and when they were almost done cooking she would put a spoon of the jalapeno jelly on top and let finish baking. That with turnip greens and jiffy cornbread is the best food ever
I love Buc-ee's!! The billboard by my house says "No games here, just thrones." I had always wanted to visit Buc-ee's but it's almost 3 hours away. So I planned a vacation to Dallas which is very close to Buc-ee's, just so I could visit Buc-ee's. Can't wait to go back. Love you guys.
We don't have bucky's we're I live, but we do have large truck stop gas stations such as "Flying J" on major interstate highways. Because the US is so large, our semi truck drivers can often be away from home for weeks at a time while they are driving cross country to deliver goods. The large truck stop gas stations often have a wide variety of items to provide as quick stops for truck drivers. Drivers can also pay to use shower facilities at some stops while on the road as many of them sleep in the back cab of their trucks and don't stay in hotels.
I tried the BBQ cheese curls last weekend and I was wishing I could see the two of you taste them! I do think the Buc-ee’s branded items are well priced.
I can't speak for Buc-ees, but the brand of Veggie Straws we get here are made with potato flour & veggie powder. There are 4 types per bag, potato, spinach, tomato & sweet potato
We just got a Buc-ees in Alabama. On the way back and forth from the beach, we stop whether we need gas or not! It’s also a great place to find nice gift items. We love the brisket sandwiches.
Climate depends on where you are in Texas, we have coastal gulf beaches, we have the the forest Piney Woods, we have the semi-arid western plains, the fertile farmlands of the northern panhandle, the rocky river areas of the hill country, and others I’m missing.
Hi guys ,such a great box! I never heard of Buckees until I seen you guys trying and talking about it. It sounds awesome. I live to far away from Texas, it is across country trip from Pennsylvania to Texas. Our gas prices in Lancaster, Pa. Is $2.99 a gallon,it is to expensive to go on long road trips to other states. Have a great weekend ahead,Hugs!
If you're in south Texas, I recommend making the drive to New Orleans, Louisiana (my hometown) for some food and music. There's lots of historical stuff as well (Chalmette Battlefield from the War of 1812, the National WW2 Museum, etc) if you're into that stuff. If you go to Tennessee, I remember loving Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg (summer vacation as a kid). Gatlinburg is right outside the Smokey Mountain National Park and there are some awesome hiking trails and waterfalls. About 2hrs from Gatlinburg is Asheville, North Carolina which is neat as well. If you're in Florida, I love St. Augustine (it's the oldest city in the US founded by the Spanish in 1565). They also have a burger place called Burger Buckets which has a Maple Fudge Bacon Burger which is delicious (I hope the place is still there).
Thank you Keri for these awesome recommendations!!! Gets me excited to travel again. St. Augustine looks amazing!! What a cool place. Would be awesome to visit
I have lived in both Fort Worth and in Killeen Texas . When we live there we have been to President Johnson Ranch and to Sea world and to Six Flags Over Texas and have had so much fun in all three places. .
Yes please come to Texas! 😍🎉❤️ I sent the HEB Christmas themed box in Nov/Dec and would love to meet up & show you more goodies from Austin - especially South Congress treats where all the travelers go, even a vintage-style candy store!
I know this is a couple weeks old but we went to a new (to us) bucees yesterday and it was insanely busy! We have been to the one in Madisonville on the way to Houston before as well. The fudge and pecans are a must get!
Buc-ees in Ft. Worth, TX is next to a big speedway. Texas Motor Speedway is hosting Indy Car Saturday. I have a ticket to watch the races but before or after or maybe both times I'll hit up Buc-ees for gasoline and snacks, etc. You have to go. It is like a required visit(s) if you are that close. Buc-ees sells all sorts of things and there is always something new to see.
This is dixie from texas, we love buckees, they have clothes, housewares, food, everything when i went the first time i could not believe this place. You would love it, they have fudge, sandwiches, etc. Would love for you to come and visit texas. And out texas food and restaurants you would love, ribs, chicken, we eat alot of meat here.
I also calculated the fuel price difference here. My local fuel price would calculate out to about 0.85 pounds per liter. But as you said in your video, in most towns in the US we have to drive large distances as we do not have nearly the same level of public transportation.
I love sunflower seeds..I must try chocolate covered, the animal crackers and pecans. At the holidays people often make a chocolate pecan pie. Everything looks really good.
You should do the southwest. Texas, New Mexico, Colorado Arizona and Utah. You can see the Grand Canyon, Arches National Park, Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings, and much more!
Definitely come to Nashville!! I moved to Nashville 2 years ago after living in California my whole life. I love the south! Food is definitely part of the culture here!
Yes. Us Texans drive everywhere. Everything is spread out. I live in the DFW( Dallas/ Ft Worth or Metroplex) area. The last time I got gas( petrol) it was $2.39 a gallon.We have buses and a transit line but they are riddled with crime. We do have transportation for people to get to and from doctors appointments. West Texas is more like what everyone pictures Texas as. Dry and deserty. To give you a picture of how spread out it is. This Buccees in Dent on is 3 1/2 houfs away from me, even though we are both considered the DFW area. I laughed when you said that Tennesse isn't that far. I married a Tennessee guy. We drive 18 hours to the Chattanooga area when we go vi it.
Hello, I just want to tell you, that you both are amazing 👏 👏 ... Every video makes me smile. We think our gas prices are high. Gas ⛽ was $1.89 a gallon not to long ago. Have a blessed day!
Yes Buccees sells other items besides the ones from their house brand. You can definitely buy enough groceries for a week at Buccees minutes raw meat and produce. However they do have a decent selection of fresh fruit. They also have made to order hot food.
Hi Kate and Alex! What a great box! I have never been to a Buccee? I know of them and hear they sell everything! Hope you have a great week. I just got my first vaccine.
Hello from Alabama! Loved seeing all the Buc’cees treats. We recently had a Buc’cees open in Leeds, AL about 45 minutes from me.I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet but I am excited to do so. Thank you both for the wonderful videos. I’ve been watching for a while and love y’all! ❤️☺️
Every time I see you take a drink of water after eating something spicy, Kate, I yell at my phone “don’t do it!” The oils from peppers is what makes it spicy - water only spreads the burn! To combat heat, drink milk or eat a bite of yogurt or sour cream. It took a long time for this Texan to remember that lesson! 🤣
@@ThisWithThem that was (and still is!) always my first reaction. Even knowing it’s not a good idea, I still reach for what is closest, and that’s usually water. Lol
I would recommend trying anything chocolate related after any spicy snacks. it would help tame the heat pretty quickly and makes the chocolate taste better (in my opinion :) )
Hello Kate and Alex. Just stopped at Buc ees this morning. There’s one in south Texas near canyon lake. The gas was $2.27 a gallon. But I really stopped for the beef jerky and peanut brittle. It’s awesome. I’ll send you guy’s a box soon. Keep up the great work.
That is so cool you went that morning!! Wish I could pop to a Buc-ees!!! Hopefully one day!! Hope you enjoyed your Beef Jerkey and peanut brittle! Thank you Juan 😀
Loved this video! So we just call it “the South”. I live in Denton County (there is a city named Denton as well) near this very Bucee’s. It’s a newer one compared to the original on highway I-45 headed south towards Houston. I live in DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth) it’s a huge area. You cannot believe how massive it is there and it’s typically packed with people! They have bbq, all kinds of sandwiches, fresh made pizzas, cookies, cheeses - everything! I think of Bucee’s as a shopping experience. We always stop at one when we travel to use the clean restrooms and get a soda and food. We end up buying T-shirts and caps and decorative items as well as souvenirs and things. You have to come to Texas and you have to check it out. Gas here was $1.45 to $1.90 USD per gallon but it’s gone up to $2.50 USD per gal lately. By the way, we don’t all ride horses although many of us have ridden horses and even own horses here. Also, it’s very green and very lush here as we do get a lot of rain. We have very hot sunny days but I think you’ll be very surprised when you visit. Love and hugs to y’all! 🤠🐮❤️
I have a cool idea. Whenever you travel to a different country you shpuld bring back a bauble to hang on your tea at xmas. And then over the years there will be more and more and you can see where youve been and talk about your memories just from looking at the different "baubles" xx
We go to Bucee’s just to get snacks sometimes. 😂 We drove from Texas to Florida back in December. We looked up where the Bucee’s were just to stop for snacks/gas/bathroom breaks.
I really liked this box and especially enjoyed the photos since I'll probably never get to visit a Buc-ee's (unfortunately). They look awesome. Forget visiting TX,I would go just to visit that Buc-ee's LOL! You all should come to Louisiana! New Orleans is famous for it's music and it's food/drinks. Shoot,the French Quarter and Bourbon Street is enough just to make a 24 hr blog by itself! LOL! You could also do some haunted places or cemetery tours while in Louisiana too. Myrtles Plantation is one of the most haunted places in America (supposedly). Food,music and scares...what more can you ask for?!? :-)
Our gas prices vary WILDLY depending on the town here in Ontario, Canada. It can be $1.20/L CAD(0.70/L GBP) where I am, but only $0.98/L in another, but I live in a 'cottage country'. The prices during COVID have been a bit more consistent across areas, but still vary.
@@ThisWithThem Just remember if you ever get the chance to visit Texas either come in late spring or early fall time. Weather wise that is, unless you like it when it’s really hot and humid. 😎😅
When you are visiting the south in the U.S., since you appreciate great food, you must include New Orleans in Louisiana. Truly delicious cajun cooking and a really fun city.
Best road trip Ive ever done is from Austin Texas to New Orleans and then Florida. You get the best of Texas in Austin go to the The Alamo in San Antonio and then on to New Orleans, which is the most interesting city in the USA and they have the best food. Baked oysters, bignets, stews, po boys and so so so much more!!!! Then to florida- Destin is gorgeous, try the alligator nuggets ( just kidding, although if your game who am i to judge🤣) Seriously though i have driven 1000’s of hours all over the USA and that was the best road trip ever. Another top suggestion is to fly into San Jose califonia- see the redwoods in Santa Cruz, drive up the coast stop in Half Moon Bay and continue up the Oregon coast. 😊🎉😊
The gas in Canada is also insanely expensive! My friends and I took a roadtrip to New Orleans a couple years ago and we couldn’t believe how much money we saved lol
Soon it won’t be that cheap now that the leftist woke mob have take over the US. They want the price to go sky high so they can push through their unworkable green new deal and destroy our economy.
Well now I'm going to buccees today 🤤 the cookies, the beaver nuggets, the fudge, the dippin dots and their hot food is delicious too!! barbecue sandwiches are so good, but I can't believe she didn't include a photo of the candy wall and the beef jerky options! I mean buccees is the best 🙌🙌🙌
We don't have Buckee's here in California but I'd like to try it. Popcornopolis is from here, I like the Zebra. I once heard, a pronunciation explanation from a Southernerer, that a Peecan is what you put under the bed at night and a pecan is what you eat.
there’s a open air farmers market/indoor restaurant on US HWY 231 N going from Troy AL to Montgomery AL called Sweet Creek, it has AMAZING snacks and ciders
also if you ever do come down south, like in alabama or georgia, stop by a piggly wiggly and grab some golden flake dill pickle chips and sweet heats. they’re made in birmingham AL and only sold in the deep south!
I live in TN, but where I am there is literally nothing here other than a couple gas stations. Nashville, Chattanooga or Knoxville would be a good stop in TN. I live almost an hour from Chattanooga and actually grew up there.
I live by the Katy TX Bucees, it has the world's longest drive thru automated car wash! It is so much fun!! I highly suggest you go to more than one and plan all your road trips by how many bucees you can go to!
Also - you can spend at least an hour there shopping no problem! Well priced for almost all items. We go to bucees when we don't even need gas. They make the best shirts, my husband probably owns more than 30 different seasonal bucees shirts! Just $15 each!!
I haven't watched you try stuff yet, but just finished the first part. I have a Buc-ee's near me in Alabama. It's huge! My mom and I will drive there often to get gas ($2.26 ish a gal.). I love to go in to get a drink and my favorite snack. I haven't browsed the non-food side yet though. Maybe someday. Oh and I avoid the place on weekends due to the crowds.
Y’all should definitely Tour the Texas Hill Country, then all along I10 to New Orleans Louisiana ( for the food) then into Mississippi and Alabama coast, into the panhandle of Florida up to Savannah Ga.( one of the most unique city’s you’ll ever visit food, history, one of the most haunted city’s in America... Nashville Tn. Is fun but extremely congested with tourists but it’s a must see atleast once. Best time to go to see the stars is during Fan Fair or whatever it’s called these days.
Petrol prices in Australia where I live are $1.60 per litre. (That's the most expensive I've seen, but I've seen it for $1.25 as well) (1.60 aud is around 90p)
The popcorn brand is Popcornopolis & they have like a zillion flavors, a great variety of sweet & savory flavors. My personal favorite is the Carmel corn.
If y’all come to the south y’all need to come to mobile Alabama! We are the original home of Mardi Gras so y’all should come during feb or March. We have great southern Cajun food with lots of fresh seafood since we are on the gulf! And we are only an hour away from the prettiest beach in the us! (In my opinion lol)
This is my box 📦! I’m so excited!
When I go, I get fresh salad, fudge, cheese, and sandwiches. They won’t travel well. 🥰
I did wrap the gift myself
Sorry Kate, things here are just so much hotter, I tried not to send too much hot stuff 🥵 but looks like there was more heat than I thought
I bought the unicorn 🦄 popcorn at Buc-ee’s even though it’s not the Buc-ee‘a brand
Pecans are very southern ☺️
Yall should keep those jelly jars when they are empty. Wash them out and then keep them for drinking glasses. Thats what some of us do here in TX. Lol
We keep all of our jars. They really do make the best drinking jars 😍😍 thanks Nicole!! We definitely got it from you guys in Texas and we love it
The Buc-ee's in my area (San Antonio, TX) also have lights above each toilet stall near the ceiling, and they are green when the toilet is vacant, and turn red once someone is in the stall.

For a foodtastic trip, New Orleans is a foodie town like no other.
There's a bucee's about an hour from me in south Alabama and we stop through every time we go to and from Florida not even to get gas but to stock up on snacks. Their cream soda is amazing. I get cinnamon sugar pecans, potato salad, ranch crackers with pimento cheese, fudge, beef jerky, and beaver nuggets!

I can’t wait to see you visit Buc-ee’s! I highly suggest you visit multiple locations - 2 of the huge ones and and then maybe 1 small one. The small locations are great too and still have so much of the great goodies, just not as much. And the restrooms are the best!
I really love how you two get so excited and are really appreciative of all the little trinkets you're sent! 🥰
Where I live in Canada, our gas prices right now is about $1.25 per litre.
I live in the south and for travel destination recommendations I would definitely say Savannah, Georgia ( it’s beautiful and extreme southern hospitality ) Destin, Florida has the most beautiful beach with crystal clear water , and my number one pick is Colonial Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia because there are so many, many things to see and do! You can learn the history of the first colonies of the US, go to Yorktown which is an historic battlefield, go to Jamestown which was where the first settlers were, go to Bush Gardens which is a great amusement park and take a tour of the the Budweiser beer factory and see the amazing Budweiser Clydesdales . It’s so much fun and you will learn a lot if history about the United States and the revolution.
Thank you so much for these recommendations!!!! Just googled them all. They look amazing and wow that beach is beautiful 😍😍😍😍
@@ThisWithThem I promise you will have a wonderful time at any or all of them. Also the food in Savannah is amazing

Thank you Alain!! Really nice of you to say this
We don’t have a Buc-ees in PA.. but in my area we have Wawa and sheetz and now we are starting to get another gas station called Rutters . Rutters is a rest station geared towards truck drivers. But they sell so much food items.
We have one In Georgia and I am obsessed with it! We go there for lunch sometimes haha and pick up a stash of our favorite treats/snacks!
I love how much you guys enjoyed the photos and went through each one! I really hope there’s a Buc-ees visit in the future for you both! 🥰
And yes.. I’m from Louisiana. We use mason jars for everything! Storing jam, drinking sweet tea out of them, moon shine as well. They can be used for anything🤷🏻♀️😂
Love that!!!
I used to live in a trailer in the National forest in East Texas. I would let my nearest neighbor pick plums from my trees. Then he’d bring me mason jars full of plum moonshine. Delicious and STRONG.
There’s a Bucee’s where I live in Alabama too. The first time going was such an experience!! Hope y’all can go soon!!
I would loooove to visit Texas. It's an amazing state to visit with its nice people, delicious food, lovely accent, and breathtaking landscapes! That hint about the WTF though, so excited 😁😍
Texas just seems so awesome doesn't it!! Hehe WTF is coming soon 😀
@@ThisWithThem Can't wait for WTF 😀 whatever happened to shorts feature?
Hi Kate & Alex! Just remember when planning your trip to Texas, we are a HUGE state and one can drive literally all day, and not make it out! Dallas & Fort Worth are a must, though I know you've been here. In the DFW metro-area, you must visit Grapevine, which borders DFW Airport. Our State Capital city is Austin (about 2.5 hours drive south of DFW) and I think you would love the MUSIC and art it offers. San Antonio (home of the Alamo.. history there) is nice with amazing Mexican food. Hill Country/Big Bend.. have a look for hiking and lovely scenery. Long time fan here, and so fun watching yours and Alex's success! ❤🇨🇱
If you’re going to visit Tennessee, you NEED to go to pigeon forge and gatlinburg-visit Dollywood. There’s lots of amazing foods there! 💙 And you’re in the Great Smokey Mountains, which is a huge, beautiful plus!!
And if they go there next spring of 2023 A Buc-ees is opening in Sevierville and it is supoosed to be the biggest one yet!
It's true, everything is bigger in Texas! That gas station looked like a mall, it has everything! Lots of great treats too...another awesome video guys!
Gas in Texas is much cheaper because they drill for gasoline right there, we are in California and the other day my husband filled up our truck, 25 gallons and it cose close to $100 and we expect the prices to go up because of the Summer Tourist season. Pepper jellies are all somewhat the same but a little different depending on the peppers used and the company that makes them, thanks to the two of you I went online and ordered 6 or 7 of the Pepper Lane Jellies and my daughter invaded my stash and took some home, so I haven't tasted them all but we're hoping to do a small trip to Utah and in a few months so we might need to make a side trip. Thanks for sharing your adventure with Bucc-ees, it was fun to watch.
My aunt used to make jalapeno jelly and to this day its my favorite thing ever. My mom used to take chicken breasts and season them with Tony's seasoning and bake them in the oven and when they were almost done cooking she would put a spoon of the jalapeno jelly on top and let finish baking. That with turnip greens and jiffy cornbread is the best food ever
I love Buc-ee's!! The billboard by my house says "No games here, just thrones." I had always wanted to visit Buc-ee's but it's almost 3 hours away. So I planned a vacation to Dallas which is very close to Buc-ee's, just so I could visit Buc-ee's. Can't wait to go back. Love you guys.
We don't have bucky's we're I live, but we do have large truck stop gas stations such as "Flying J" on major interstate highways. Because the US is so large, our semi truck drivers can often be away from home for weeks at a time while they are driving cross country to deliver goods. The large truck stop gas stations often have a wide variety of items to provide as quick stops for truck drivers. Drivers can also pay to use shower facilities at some stops while on the road as many of them sleep in the back cab of their trucks and don't stay in hotels.
I tried the BBQ cheese curls last weekend and I was wishing I could see the two of you taste them! I do think the Buc-ee’s branded items are well priced.
Mmm delicious
I can't speak for Buc-ees, but the brand of Veggie Straws we get here are made with potato flour & veggie powder. There are 4 types per bag, potato, spinach, tomato & sweet potato
We just got a Buc-ees in Alabama. On the way back and forth from the beach, we stop whether we need gas or not! It’s also a great place to find nice gift items. We love the brisket sandwiches.
This box was so fun. I was so exhausted from my classes and felt relaxed after watching it. Good work guys❤️
Climate depends on where you are in Texas, we have coastal gulf beaches, we have the the forest Piney Woods, we have the semi-arid western plains, the fertile farmlands of the northern panhandle, the rocky river areas of the hill country, and others I’m missing.
Definitely Southern Louisiana! Not New Orleans only but Lafayette and my hometown of Lake Charles. Also, come to Oklahoma!!
As I am watching this video right now I am really enjoying it. Keep going guys!
Yaay thank you Nour!
Hi guys ,such a great box! I never heard of Buckees until I seen you guys trying and talking about it. It sounds awesome. I live to far away from Texas, it is across country trip from Pennsylvania to Texas. Our gas prices in Lancaster, Pa. Is $2.99 a gallon,it is to expensive to go on long road trips to other states. Have a great weekend ahead,Hugs!
If you're in south Texas, I recommend making the drive to New Orleans, Louisiana (my hometown) for some food and music. There's lots of historical stuff as well (Chalmette Battlefield from the War of 1812, the National WW2 Museum, etc) if you're into that stuff. If you go to Tennessee, I remember loving Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg (summer vacation as a kid). Gatlinburg is right outside the Smokey Mountain National Park and there are some awesome hiking trails and waterfalls. About 2hrs from Gatlinburg is Asheville, North Carolina which is neat as well. If you're in Florida, I love St. Augustine (it's the oldest city in the US founded by the Spanish in 1565). They also have a burger place called Burger Buckets which has a Maple Fudge Bacon Burger which is delicious (I hope the place is still there).
Thank you Keri for these awesome recommendations!!! Gets me excited to travel again. St. Augustine looks amazing!! What a cool place. Would be awesome to visit
New Orleans is super fun! We had an oddly good time at the historical pharmacy museum
They just opened some in Florida, I’ll have to check it out! Also, that was expensive for gas, here it’s around $1.90 per gallon. Great video!
I have lived in both Fort Worth and in Killeen Texas . When we live there we have been to President Johnson Ranch and to Sea world and to Six Flags Over Texas and have had so much fun in all three places.
.
Yes please come to Texas! 😍🎉❤️ I sent the HEB Christmas themed box in Nov/Dec and would love to meet up & show you more goodies from Austin - especially South Congress treats where all the travelers go, even a vintage-style candy store!
Would love to come!!! ❤️
I know this is a couple weeks old but we went to a new (to us) bucees yesterday and it was insanely busy! We have been to the one in Madisonville on the way to Houston before as well. The fudge and pecans are a must get!
Buc-ees in Ft. Worth, TX is next to a big speedway. Texas Motor Speedway is hosting Indy Car Saturday. I have a ticket to watch the races but before or after or maybe both times I'll hit up Buc-ees for gasoline and snacks, etc. You have to go. It is like a required visit(s) if you are that close. Buc-ees sells all sorts of things and there is always something new to see.
I got to that Buc-cees about every 3 months. I Love Buc-cees
I was just at that exact bucees bout 3 weeks ago. We went on a vacation. First time we ever went to a bucees. It was huge and I got a cute tshirt.
No way!!! Hope you enjoyed your first Buc-ees experience! So cool you got a shirt!
@@ThisWithThem it was def an experience lol it was fun
This is dixie from texas, we love buckees, they have clothes, housewares, food, everything when i went the first time i could not believe this place. You would love it, they have fudge, sandwiches, etc. Would love for you to come and visit texas. And out texas food and restaurants you would love, ribs, chicken, we eat alot of meat here.
Y’all should, definitely, visit Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, Tennessee! So much to do and see. I live about an hour away and it never gets old!
I also calculated the fuel price difference here. My local fuel price would calculate out to about 0.85 pounds per liter. But as you said in your video, in most towns in the US we have to drive large distances as we do not have nearly the same level of public transportation.
I love sunflower seeds..I must try chocolate covered, the animal crackers and pecans. At the holidays people often make a chocolate pecan pie. Everything looks really good.
You should do the southwest. Texas, New Mexico, Colorado Arizona and Utah. You can see the Grand Canyon, Arches National Park, Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings, and much more!
Definitely come to Nashville!! I moved to Nashville 2 years ago after living in California my whole life. I love the south! Food is definitely part of the culture here!
Yes. Us Texans drive everywhere. Everything is spread out. I live in the DFW( Dallas/ Ft Worth or Metroplex) area. The last time I got gas( petrol) it was $2.39 a gallon.We have buses and a transit line but they are riddled with crime. We do have transportation for people to get to and from doctors appointments. West Texas is more like what everyone pictures Texas as. Dry and deserty. To give you a picture of how spread out it is. This Buccees in Dent on is 3 1/2 houfs away from me, even though we are both considered the DFW area. I laughed when you said that Tennesse isn't that far. I married a Tennessee guy. We drive 18 hours to the Chattanooga area when we go vi it.
There is a couple from America that went to the largest Buc-ees recently. They are called kara and nate they have a youtube video all about it.
2.89 per gallon. Last October it was 2.20 in Michigan.
I’ve never clicked on something so fast. I love Buccees😍 especially their jerky🙃
Yaaay! Well I hope you enjoyed watching 😀
U R lucky U have them close to you !!! Im in Canada and jealous !!!!
I clicked so fast too!
Hello, I just want to tell you, that you both are amazing 👏 👏 ... Every video makes me smile. We think our gas prices are high. Gas ⛽ was $1.89 a gallon not to long ago. Have a blessed day!
You’re so lovely to say this. Thank you Tabitha ♥️♥️ I can tell you’re amazing too! Oh wow that’s amazing. Enjoy those prices
Charleston SC and Savannah GA are gorgeous cities with great history
Yes Buccees sells other items besides the ones from their house brand. You can definitely buy enough groceries for a week at Buccees minutes raw meat and produce. However they do have a decent selection of fresh fruit. They also have made to order hot food.
Bucce's are also located in Georgia outside of Atlanta in Daytona beach Fl and in Alabama and coming soon to South Carolina
Hi Kate and Alex! What a great box! I have never been to a Buccee? I know of them and hear they sell everything! Hope you have a great week. I just got my first vaccine.
Hey Kirsten!! It's an amazing place! Can't wait to visit! That's awesome! Hope you are feeling okay. Have a great week too 😀
Hello from Alabama! Loved seeing all the Buc’cees treats. We recently had a Buc’cees open in Leeds, AL about 45 minutes from me.I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet but I am excited to do so. Thank you both for the wonderful videos. I’ve been watching for a while and love y’all! ❤️☺️
That’s so exciting!! Hope you enjoy checking it out for the first time 😀😀 ah thank you so much LeAnne!! ♥️♥️
Every time I see you take a drink of water after eating something spicy, Kate, I yell at my phone “don’t do it!” The oils from peppers is what makes it spicy - water only spreads the burn! To combat heat, drink milk or eat a bite of yogurt or sour cream. It took a long time for this Texan to remember that lesson! 🤣
Haha sorry Lona! My brain just thinks wash it down haha. 😂😂One day I will learn my lesson too 😂
@@ThisWithThem that was (and still is!) always my first reaction. Even knowing it’s not a good idea, I still reach for what is closest, and that’s usually water. Lol
It’s always water that’s the closest isn’t it 😂
I would recommend trying anything chocolate related after any spicy snacks. it would help tame the heat pretty quickly and makes the chocolate taste better (in my opinion :) )
Wooooooohooooo epic box. I loved the photos and descriptions. Really enjoyed those 🙂🙂🙂
today 05/01/21 in carbondale il area unleaded runs from 3.09 to 3.68 depending on the town and shell station the highest for lowest grade
Hello Kate and Alex. Just stopped at Buc ees this morning. There’s one in south Texas near canyon lake. The gas was $2.27 a gallon. But I really stopped for the beef jerky and peanut brittle. It’s awesome. I’ll send you guy’s a box soon. Keep up the great work.
That is so cool you went that morning!! Wish I could pop to a Buc-ees!!! Hopefully one day!! Hope you enjoyed your Beef Jerkey and peanut brittle! Thank you Juan 😀
Dallas TX to Nashville Tn to Kansas City KS is an 18 hr drive. It looks small on a map because this place is huge.
Loved this video! So we just call it “the South”. I live in Denton County (there is a city named Denton as well) near this very Bucee’s. It’s a newer one compared to the original on highway I-45 headed south towards Houston. I live in DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth) it’s a huge area. You cannot believe how massive it is there and it’s typically packed with people! They have bbq, all kinds of sandwiches, fresh made pizzas, cookies, cheeses - everything! I think of Bucee’s as a shopping experience. We always stop at one when we travel to use the clean restrooms and get a soda and food. We end up buying T-shirts and caps and decorative items as well as souvenirs and things. You have to come to Texas and you have to check it out.
Gas here was $1.45 to $1.90 USD per gallon but it’s gone up to $2.50 USD per gal lately.
By the way, we don’t all ride horses although many of us have ridden horses and even own horses here. Also, it’s very green and very lush here as we do get a lot of rain. We have very hot sunny days but I think you’ll be very surprised when you visit. Love and hugs to y’all! 🤠🐮❤️
I have a cool idea. Whenever you travel to a different country you shpuld bring back a bauble to hang on your tea at xmas. And then over the years there will be more and more and you can see where youve been and talk about your memories just from looking at the different "baubles" xx
We go to Bucee’s just to get snacks sometimes. 😂 We drove from Texas to Florida back in December. We looked up where the Bucee’s were just to stop for snacks/gas/bathroom breaks.
I really liked this box and especially enjoyed the photos since I'll probably never get to visit a Buc-ee's (unfortunately). They look awesome. Forget visiting TX,I would go just to visit that Buc-ee's LOL! You all should come to Louisiana! New Orleans is famous for it's music and it's food/drinks. Shoot,the French Quarter and Bourbon Street is enough just to make a 24 hr blog by itself! LOL! You could also do some haunted places or cemetery tours while in Louisiana too. Myrtles Plantation is one of the most haunted places in America (supposedly). Food,music and scares...what more can you ask for?!? :-)
With the sweet potato butter, or apple butter, they are great on biscuits/scones or with peanut butter as a sandwich.
Our gas prices vary WILDLY depending on the town here in Ontario, Canada. It can be $1.20/L CAD(0.70/L GBP) where I am, but only $0.98/L in another, but I live in a 'cottage country'. The prices during COVID have been a bit more consistent across areas, but still vary.
But plan a stop to Utah! We will show you around here! ❤️❤️
If you are interested there are a few tours on you tube of the Largest Bucee'sin Daytona gives you a walk through of every station and all the merch.
Yay Buc-ee’s haul. I love this place. Live in Texas. Love your channel.👋😊
We never been but love it too 😆Hopefully one day! Thank you so much Rhonda!
Im jealous !!!! LOL
@@ThisWithThem Just remember if you ever get the chance to visit Texas either come in late spring or early fall time. Weather wise that is, unless you like it when it’s really hot and humid. 😎😅
She’s right about the weather, you will melt in our summer. It’s SO hot and SO humid!
When you are visiting the south in the U.S., since you appreciate great food, you must include New Orleans in Louisiana. Truly delicious cajun cooking and a really fun city.
The freshly cooked potato chips from Buc-ees are delicious, if you ever go one grab a few bags
Mmm yum!!!
Really? 😱😊😊
@@Maria-vr7fl Yes! They have a kettle cooked texture, they call them beaver chips
Best road trip Ive ever done is from Austin Texas to New Orleans and then Florida. You get the best of Texas in Austin go to the The Alamo in San Antonio and then on to New Orleans, which is the most interesting city in the USA and they have the best food. Baked oysters, bignets, stews, po boys and so so so much more!!!! Then to florida- Destin is gorgeous, try the alligator nuggets ( just kidding, although if your game who am i to judge🤣) Seriously though i have driven 1000’s of hours all over the USA and that was the best road trip ever. Another top suggestion is to fly into San Jose califonia- see the redwoods in Santa Cruz, drive up the coast stop in Half Moon Bay and continue up the Oregon coast. 😊🎉😊
The gas in Canada is also insanely expensive! My friends and I took a roadtrip to New Orleans a couple years ago and we couldn’t believe how much money we saved lol
Truth! Gas is so expensive here....it's always crazy how much cheaper it is when you cross the bored!
Soon it won’t be that cheap now that the leftist woke mob have take over the US. They want the price to go sky high so they can push through their unworkable green new deal and destroy our economy.
@@cherylchristian5673 don't bring politics into this...they don't even control the gas prices
@@squeakSquak who doesn’t? The left? By shutting down production, prices go up. The left has done that already
@@cherylchristian5673 I'm not even going to argue with you. Shut up, not everything needs polotics
Well now I'm going to buccees today 🤤 the cookies, the beaver nuggets, the fudge, the dippin dots and their hot food is delicious too!! barbecue sandwiches are so good, but I can't believe she didn't include a photo of the candy wall and the beef jerky options! I mean buccees is the best 🙌🙌🙌
We don't have Buckee's here in California but I'd like to try it. Popcornopolis is from here, I like the Zebra. I once heard, a pronunciation explanation from a Southernerer, that a Peecan is what you put under the bed at night and a pecan is what you eat.
there’s a open air farmers market/indoor restaurant on US HWY 231 N going from Troy AL to Montgomery AL called Sweet Creek, it has AMAZING snacks and ciders
also if you ever do come down south, like in alabama or georgia, stop by a piggly wiggly and grab some golden flake dill pickle chips and sweet heats. they’re made in birmingham AL and only sold in the deep south!
I live in TN, but where I am there is literally nothing here other than a couple gas stations. Nashville, Chattanooga or Knoxville would be a good stop in TN. I live almost an hour from Chattanooga and actually grew up there.
I live by the Katy TX Bucees, it has the world's longest drive thru automated car wash! It is so much fun!! I highly suggest you go to more than one and plan all your road trips by how many bucees you can go to!
Also - you can spend at least an hour there shopping no problem! Well priced for almost all items. We go to bucees when we don't even need gas. They make the best shirts, my husband probably owns more than 30 different seasonal bucees shirts! Just $15 each!!
I haven't watched you try stuff yet, but just finished the first part. I have a Buc-ee's near me in Alabama. It's huge! My mom and I will drive there often to get gas ($2.26 ish a gal.). I love to go in to get a drink and my favorite snack. I haven't browsed the non-food side yet though. Maybe someday. Oh and I avoid the place on weekends due to the crowds.
Y’all should definitely Tour the Texas Hill Country, then all along I10 to New Orleans Louisiana ( for the food) then into Mississippi and Alabama coast, into the panhandle of Florida up to Savannah Ga.( one of the most unique city’s you’ll ever visit food, history, one of the most haunted city’s in America... Nashville Tn.
Is fun but extremely congested with tourists but it’s a must see atleast once. Best time to go to see the stars is during Fan Fair or whatever it’s called these days.
In Australia we pay anywhere from $1.29-$1.35 per litre for petrol, the prices very at each servo
Texas, of course!! There’s a Buc’cees about 40 minutes away!
Love it!
Petrol prices in Australia where I live are $1.60 per litre. (That's the most expensive I've seen, but I've seen it for $1.25 as well) (1.60 aud is around 90p)
The popcorn brand is Popcornopolis & they have like a zillion flavors, a great variety of sweet & savory flavors. My personal favorite is the Carmel corn.
Awesome! Thanks Julie!
They are around the south now. Here in Florida we have I believe 3 stations. The closest to me is Daytona Beach a little more than an hour away.
If y’all come to the south y’all need to come to mobile Alabama! We are the original home of Mardi Gras so y’all should come during feb or March. We have great southern Cajun food with lots of fresh seafood since we are on the gulf! And we are only an hour away from the prettiest beach in the us! (In my opinion lol)
Y’all MUST experience Buccee’s in person!
That would be so awesome
I was at Buc-Ees today on a road trip to visit my parents!
One of my favorite restaurants serves pepper jelly as a dip for chicken tenders and nuggets .It's delicious on chicken .
Mmmm yum!!!
Last week at Red Robbin I had pepper jelly on a hamburger, it was amazing
