@Jennie Adams I went Carnivore shortly after the pandemic. I noticed after I had to start wearing a mask every day for a 14hr shift in a high stress high pace environment that I began having issues with my ability to smell. It was like a light switch would be turned off and on interment. Sometimes I would be able to smell and others not at all. I was tested but never was positive. I gradually worsened until I just couldn't smell. At night I would have severe congestion in my nose and chest. When the mandate ended I slowly got better and currently my smell is like a light switch some days it works but most days it is off. I have nighttime congestion still in the form of a crazy cough until after I have woken up. Once I am up it is noticeably better. I have lost over 150 lbs. I feel overall great but I just want to be able to smell and get a good night's sleep unhindered by congestion. I believe strongly that me being forced to wear a mask all day is the reason behind this. Any thoughts?
Super helpful! Please re-do these shopping videos as you find new products. I learn so much from you! Walmart manager was foolish to stop you as viewers will want to go there to buy the products you mentioned (as I did).
This channel is so refreshing (and realistic). How to be mostly carnivore, on a real-life family budget. A lot of the carnivore "purists" (or downright cultists) act like you have to source from a local farm, raise the chickens yourself, or go to a high-end butcher, but that just isn't feasible for the average family; especially in this absurdly inflated economy.
Agreed. She is just normal like the rest of us. I thought I had to buy organic bacon to avoid the sugar. But I felt better when I saw she buys regular bacon too.
I really enjoyed this video! So nice to see a normal haul from a local store, instead of a local butcher or pasture raised stuff all the time. This is doable. 😊
It might be "doable" but parasites are a real thing and this meat is so so bad for you. Do your research.. especially if you're going to primarily eat dairy and meat.
Your channel provides the best and most practical help for living carnivore. Love your segments on what you order at _____ and that you actually film yourself ordering. Videos like this are SO helpful and educational. Had no idea there was ribeye pork! Theory is fine if that’s what you need, but your content is what we need for practical, day to day application. Thank you!!
Over this summer my daughter and I did a driving trip with friends, from Oregon to S. Carolina. On the way we mainly at eggs, beef sticks, cheese, pork rinds, and if we stopped at a fast food place, I followed how you order food shown in your short videos. I couldn't believe how much weight and inflammation I lost . And for sitting a long length of time, my joints didn't hurt as much. Now I have to figure out how to do this at home while feeding others too. I'm also glad to see that you eat other meant types other than beef. Thanks.
I cook for my family by cooking the meat first and setting some aside for me before I finish the dish for my family. Although they have all gone much closer to carnivore just from watching how it helps me.
People forget about the domestic violence victims just trying to shop. People think who will find you that way and I can honestly tell you 100% they do
I love your ‘what to eat out as a carnivore series’ and now this shopping video!!! Thank you for making the carnivore or ketovore diet DOABLE. You are so practical and in touch with life. You remind me of my hero, Dr Berry. Eat the best quality you can afford and Walmart is cheaper than most. I hate the influencers who shame you into thinking if it’s not grass fed, grass finished and panda massaged, you are doomed. I can’t afford that stuff. Also you explain the science of READING LABELS for ingredients, this is so important and often overlooked. I love Two Good yogurt and everyone else insists on whole milk, unflavored, sour yuck. My daily dessert is one of these with 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut and 1 tablespoon of chopped nuts. Once a week I add 1 tablespoon of stevia sweetened chocolate chips. LOL after one year sugar free eating, I cannot tolerate ice cream anymore (diarrhea). Keep up the great work and delete the naysayers. If the woke can cancel, the truth seeker should also. Praying for you and the family, may the Lord protect you and provide for all your needs. Blessings from PA! 😊🙏
It was very heartening to see you pick up a lot of the things I use...You expect to be told you have to spend 3x the amount you have to spend to 'do it right'...
As a farmer, who raises livestock. I just want to suggest getting in touch from a farmer local to you, that you could then purchase beef, pork etc. Whichever they may raise, and you could get a whole, half or quarter of an animal. Not only would you then know where your food is coming from, you would save money in the long run and the meat taste amazing!! Not to mention you would always have meat on hand!
if it matters, i'm just as happy to see you showcasing the same details about what you bought at home so you don't have to worry about the filming police. thanks for the 411.
About the GV frozen beef patties. We had been using them frequently and loved them! But recently they have been cooking up different and causing me severe gastric distress. I do have an autoimmune disease which makes me extremely sensitive 😮💨 HOWEVER we discovered a Sam's Choice frozen boxed alternative that is 100% Angus beef 1/4 pound patties. They're $16 and some change for 12 of them here locally. And they are a game changer!!! My goodness they cook up so plump and juicy and the flavor is out of this world! Grilled or pan fried they really are excellent for frozen beef. Thank you for your carnivore hauls! I learn so much from them😊 Carni on!
Laura, thanks for so many great videos. TIP: if you haven't tried CHUCK EYE TENDERS they are a great steak...the cut right next to the ribeye but at HALF THE PRICE. They lack the yummy deckle that runs around one edge of a ribeye....but a sacrifice I am willing to make for steaks I can eat more often than ribeye. LOVE THEM.
@@michelehafthudson2438 I get them at my local Harris Teeter, a large groc chain in the mid-Atlantic. I would just ask your butcher at your favorite groc store. They are sometimes called "Delmonico steaks". I don't have the room to be buying 1/4 sides of beef etc but am thinking of buying a "chuck roll" (about 20 lbs) to cut up at home and get a bunch of chuck roasts and steaks from, if I can get a good price on it. INFO: per THE SPRUCE The chuck roll is a large (approximately 20 pounds) boneless subprimal piece made up of the long section of meat between the ribs and the backbone. A skilled butcher can remove the ribs and backbone in one piece, and this piece of meat can then be divided in half. The section that overlays the ribs is usually used for ground beef, and what is left, after being trimmed and squared up, is called the chuck roll. The chuck roll actually has some tender muscles in it, including a few inches of the longissimus dorsi, which make excellent grilling steaks. In fact, this is the same muscle from which we get rib-eye steaks. But because there are quite a few tough muscles in the chuck roll too, one of the most common techniques is to separate the top section called the chuck eye (which contains the tender longissimus dorsi muscle) from the bottom section known as the chuck under the blade, which can be sliced thin for a stir-fry.
@@deborah2592 Thanks for the comprehensive response! I’m not aware of any Harris Teeter around here, but I’ll try talking to a butcher at the grocery store.
You can find them at Walmart. I haven’t been able to find them at Kroger as of late, but they used to have them too. I try to keep some in the freezer.
I am so glad I stumbled on your channel. Ive been struggling the last year or so getting back on track (need to lose 15lbs to get back to healthy weight but eyeing 30 for vanity). My husband surprised me with an anniversary trip to Greece in 2 months! Ive been doing well this week but struggle with variety. You've given me so many good ideas! I may have to limit the cheese though considering the timelime but the cheese fries may be my go to cheat on the weekend.❤
Wow! Terrific video, as always! Unfortunately for us, our Walmart doesn't have those beautiful pork ribeyes!!! I'm so mad! I can't find them anywhere, not even a regular food store. Dang! I love pork and would have loved to find these! Wonderful selections on the rest of your basket! Keep on making these terrific vids for us!!! 10 months on Carnivore, down 51 lbs, and lowered BP and Blood Sugar significantly! We love you and thanks for your help! Just got my order of LMNT Electrolytes and I'm in LOVE with them!!!!! xo
I've been carnivore for 8 months and still am constantly strategizing for the best/most economical groceries. Most of the carnivores I follow focus on super high-quality grass-fed type of foods... I like to lean that direction as well, but that gets hard on the bank. This is so much more accessible. Thank you!
I've found that buying direct from a local farm, in bulk, helps a lot. I bought a half steer last summer for around $6 a lb. I'll have meat for at least a year!
I'm new to your channel but I'm liking everything I've seen so far. Your personality is so refreshing and you give some solid advice. I'm doing low carb but seriously considering going carnivore at least a couple of days a week and going from there. Keep up the good work and thanks for the great content. :)
Thank you! This video answered my burning question of the day. I just purchased a 3 lb. package of Wright thick sliced bacon from Walmart. I realized when I got home the package says that sugar is used in the curing process, but the nutritional info says no carbs and no sugars. A couple people in a carnivore community I just joined said to stay away from it, but I think I'll be good now that I watched this!
My wife and I have are doing a 90 day carnivore and we are in the 3rd week I'm down 20 lbs and she's down 9 we are always looking for more ideas to keep meals quick and a bit of variety so I appreciate your videos for that , Thank You.
You could always show the haul after you've purchased and avoid invading anyone's privacy. Or try filming without getting anyone else in the video. I know I wouldn't want to filmed while grocery shopping. We have to be able to do some things without the fear of ending up on someone's TH-cam video.
Thank you Laura, excellent content as always. I've been on this Keto diet since August and lost 37lbs. I'm so glad you're sharing the food that you buy for you and your family, that helps me out when I go shopping. We really enjoy your videos. Thank You and GB!
Thank you for this. It was super helpful. My daughter and I are starting out with a 30 day challenge and she is about to make a Walmart order. Thanks so much!
I’ve been doing my carnivore diet with minimal elements. Those that I started following have very very basic meal plans. Watching you, I’ve opened up to a greater variety so it doesn’t become mundane. Should be a lot easier to continue with the regimen once my weight target has been met. Thank you
Blows my mind how stores differ based on location in the US. Wal-Mart is the most expensive meat near me. HEB, Kroger and Joe V's blow them out of the water. Good vid as always.
@@Pooshee123 went with my daughter in law to H E B in Plano, Tx on Sunday, it was her first time there, I think we were there over 3 hours! She spent about $200 more than she had planned on!😂 She just kept saying there’s just soooooo much stuff! And all of those in store coupons had her hooked for life!
Same here. Our Walmart has disgusting meat. The other 2 stores in town have high quality meat. The one even has its own butcher and team there on site, so the meat is fresh.
The only reason I now buy beef at Walmart instead of just Costco is because I heard you mention it on Cutting Against the Grain. Sometimes when I go, all the Ribeye is gone. I'll try in the morning. Thanks for your "real-life" suggestions. They're great.
I love this video. Thanks for all the tips on yellow tags to white and black packaging. I was not aware of those things. Also, the price. Mind you I am shopping for myself only and I am only eating meats 🍖 salt 🧂 and water 💧. Newbie here. I hope to budget myself to a $80 hauls for two weeks at a time. Twice a month shopping really makes me stay on budget. Thanks again for this overview shopping trip❤
Omg! Thank you, Thank you. I learned so much from this video. I didn’t know about the black package versus white package of meat. I’m thankful for all your other tips as well. I was watching this video on my tv and had to find it on my phone because I had to comment 😂 wish I could comment while watching on my tv 😂😂😂🎉
Sometimes the listed prices are different at checkout so I've started scanning before I put them in my cart. The difference goes either way: sometimes more, sometimes less.
I saw a video of a guy who complained to customer service about the scanning the wrong price. they walk back his whole order and looked at the receipt and the shelf talker price. They refunded him $40.
My Walmart is awful. Was just there today checking out the meat just in case I found something reasonable and decent looking and nope; I’m rarely successful there. Those that have nice selections at their Walmarts are lucky!
I love the pre-made burgers from WM. I get the red package but will do the others in a pinch. They are so convenient since I cook a lot just for myself. I will have to watch for the ribeye pork chops. TFS
Thanks for doing this video. I really appreciate seeing carnivore shopping somewhere other than Costco. I live 80 miles from the nearest Costco and don't have the ability to store meat in large quantities so Costco isn't an option for me. Just a note on the black and white packages in the meat department...the black packages are Angus beef, which is a type of cow. Same with the Wagyu beef. The white packages don't specify what type of cow the meat comes from but the Angus is definitely my favorite too.
I get the big pork loins at Costco like you do ($1.99/lb here) cut them in half, and cook in the crock pot one half at a time for 6-7 hours. It shreds with a couple of forks and is good with sugar free bbq sauce or plain. I don’t add anything to it in the crock pot, and when it shreds it soaks up the fat and is not dry at all. Thanks for your content! 🙏
I heard you live in the Phoenix area so of course I’m trying to see if I recognize any of those Walmart’s lol! We’re way out in the east valley, San Tan Valley to be exact but I get up to Gilbert and Chandler each week visiting family. Loved this video with all your different meat and food ideas to try!
The Chocolate is my least favorite. I always throw it away and keep all the other flavors, but now I'm going use it in my coffee, so yes I agree with you Tonya.....BRILLIANT ideal.
@@hollyfisher8811 If you’re on blood pressure medication, it could be problematic…maybe. But if not, and you’re doing keto, etc., and dropping water weight rapidly along with burning through your glycogen stores, you will need the extra salt and potassium. A loss of potassium in particular will cause a rise in blood pressure. So if you’re strict with your keto/carnivore diet, you need to replace those electrolytes.
Great haul! it was very helpful. my husband and I will be traveling for 3 weeks. I cooked a bag of those frozen burgers, bacon, eggs and 2 batches of your meatballs to take with us. plus I have a little egg cooker I bring too. and brought butter. lol
My wife and I do all of our grocery shopping at our Walmart! I never tried eating carnivore ! I’ve done keto before! Is it much different from each other? I d too fast between 18 to 24! I’m doing a 24 hr today! When I’m eating my breakfast! It’s basically 3 to 4 eggs! Greek yogurt! Blueberrys! I love. Chicken! Steak’ pork! Half of bagel! I don’t eat much steak! Pork thank you for sharing your help
We skip the pre-shredded Parmesan in the tub and cut the wedge up in the deli area by the potato salad and Walmart pizzas. $5 and makes way more shredded cheese that in the tub.
Hey Laura, love your channel! 💕 Watching this video I was wondering if you knew about using pork rinds as a "breading" for chicken or pork chops. I found a recipe earlier this year while I was doing the keto diet and all it requires is a bag of plain crushed up pork rinds (best done in food processor), and a cup of grated or shredded parmesan cheese, The binder is egg, mayo and a little water. Once coated in the breading just bake in the oven🤤 it has become one of my favorite things to make now lol ❤️
I wonder about giving a kitten some meat she really needs to putvon some weight she is the runt and so so tiny. Compared to the others now they are about 4 or 5 months old now. Eating mostly free community pet pantry food. Dog food mostly because my stepson won't buy catfood for them. I think they would do good on meat. But just can't afford it for all his cats. There are 4 kittens and 5 adults 1 is the mama the daddy got away before they moved in with me.
When I tell people that I lowered my blood pressure from 198/105 to 128/72 in less than 30 days on the carnivore diet they just cant believe it. I refused medications and just made the switch. October 7th is 30 days. I also lost almost 30 pound's. I kicked it off with a 104 hour fast. Awesome content! Thank You!
This was so helpful Laura, thank you! I have a whole new appreciation for Walmart! Question for you, as far as the pork rinds, if it just says fried pork rinds and salt, how do we know what kind of oil is being used?
The yellow sticker sales!! Love em! But when we were eating garbage, we always looked for the yellow money savers on their take n bake pizzas!!🤣🤣 No longer!!
You're lucky to have a good walmart in your area. The ones we have in my area have HORRIBLE meats and veggies so all I buy there are can goods and cleaning supplies.
I am and Over The Road Trucker and go to different grocery stores around the country and Walmart does have really good quality meat and other items as well
Just thinking about starting a Carnivore diet, i am overweight 320lbs, this really helps to know what to actually shop for thank you so much for the list...looked up carnivore diet and a list of food not really much out there in the way of what actual items to get...thank you again.
It's so stupid that they won't let you film because you're bringing customers to the store. I normally shop at Wal-Mart and this really helps me and my family know what to buy. You are helping their business.
This was great, thank you so much Laura! I had never heard of ribeye pork chops. I’ve always gone out of my way to find the pork chops that have the dark meat on them and the extra fatty bits but never knew that they actually had a name, hooray! Yeah what I really found value here was learning about different cuts of meat and how to cook them. For instance I didn’t realize you could grill a chuck steak and eat it like a regular steak I thought it was only for low and slow. Thank you and more please! 😁
Literally so unrelated to the video, but I’ve been watching for awhile, and hun, you are absolutely stunning! I started out carnivore today! I’ve been thinking about it for awhile. Though, im transitioning from 0 red meat to mostly red meat. Im trying to slowly transition by starting out my day with red meat and eggs and moving into seafood or poultry in the evening! Thanks so much for your videos!!
I've been spoiled by Wild Fork Food's ground beef. I buy the 72/28 for $3.88/lb and it's hands down the best ground beef, to the point that I don't really like other ground beef any more. They deliver and only have a $35 minimum order. I can only buy 10 lbs of ground beef at a time, and that gets me just a little over $35, so I just regularly buy 10 lbs at a time, occasionally adding something else in. A lot of things I like to pick out myself, so mostly I just buy the ground beef.
Our Wal-Mart has 10 pound bags of chicken drumsticks or chicken leg quarters for about 85 cents a pound. They come in a yellow bag. They're from Arkansas and they are big pieces and taste great. Have not been disappointed!
Lots of variations in Wal-Marts. My local Wal-Mart is dirty and poorly managed with people living in RV's in the parking lot. I avoid going there as much as possible. The "nice" Wal-Mart is about 19 miles one way for me.

Hi Laura, I have a few issues on my carnivore journey that I would like some opinions on. Feel free to contact me if you have time.
Please do a 5 fast food series. I've been binge watching your videos. You're an inspiration 💕

Loved this video! Laughing so hard that you went to a different store. I would watch a grocery haul every single day :)
Great video!
I never understood why Walmart would shut down free advertising, it doesn't make sense even with whatever reason people/they make up.
I was wondering if a customer complained because they didn't think others should be on camera. Idk, but I was trying to think of reasons.
usually it is because someone complained

My wife and I have are doing a 90 day carnivore and we are in the 3rd week I'm down 20 lbs and she's down 9 we are always looking for more ideas to keep meals quick and a bit of variety so I appreciate your videos for that , Thank You.
You've lost 20lbs in 3 weeks?!?!
Of course we love hauls ❤ thanks for putting the leg work in!
You could always show the haul after you've purchased and avoid invading anyone's privacy.
Or try filming without getting anyone else in the video. I know I wouldn't want to filmed while grocery shopping. We have to be able to do some things without the fear of ending up on someone's TH-cam video.
I avoid walmart as much as possible, I'll spend a few extra cents not to deal with it
I started doing the Walmart pick up and it has been great!
Cents?? Many items are more expensive by DOLLARS per item!!
The Walmart by my house has police camera towers in the parking lot that are always on, charged by big solar panels during the day…enough said
Go in the morning at 5am when no one is there. Or 12am. You avoid the crazies only if you're shopping that early you may be the crazy 🤣
The Walmarts near me are pretty nice like the ones Laura went to. It is great to go early if you prefer the store to be almost empty.
Thank you Laura, excellent content as always. I've been on this Keto diet since August and lost 37lbs. I'm so glad you're sharing the food that you buy for you and your family, that helps me out when I go shopping. We really enjoy your videos. Thank You and GB!
Omg that driver in the beginning was so scary! Lol great video!
Thank you for this. It was super helpful. My daughter and I are starting out with a 30 day challenge and she is about to make a Walmart order. Thanks so much!
I’ve been doing my carnivore diet with minimal elements. Those that I started following have very very basic meal plans. Watching you, I’ve opened up to a greater variety so it doesn’t become mundane. Should be a lot easier to continue with the regimen once my weight target has been met. Thank you
Blows my mind how stores differ based on location in the US.
Wal-Mart is the most expensive meat near me. HEB, Kroger and Joe V's blow them out of the water.
Good vid as always.
Oh man, I miss HEB so much. You’re lucky!
@@Pooshee123 went with my daughter in law to H E B in Plano, Tx on Sunday, it was her first time there, I think we were there over 3 hours! She spent about $200 more than she had planned on!😂 She just kept saying there’s just soooooo much stuff! And all of those in store coupons had her hooked for life!
@@lolaottinger3038 I don’t blame her, lol!
This was so helpful!!! I also love the restaurant videos and drive thru choices. Thank you very very much!!! 😘
That’s so crazy the Walmarts out here are terrible for meats! 🤢 what a great haul
Same here. Our Walmart has disgusting meat. The other 2 stores in town have high quality meat. The one even has its own butcher and team there on site, so the meat is fresh.
The only reason I now buy beef at Walmart instead of just Costco is because I heard you mention it on Cutting Against the Grain. Sometimes when I go, all the Ribeye is gone. I'll try in the morning. Thanks for your "real-life" suggestions. They're great.
My favorite thing from this was the pork rinds. I hadn't thought of doing those. As long as they don't have sugar that might be a nice treat.
Thank you so much for these informative videos. I absolutely love them!
I love this video. Thanks for all the tips on yellow tags to white and black packaging. I was not aware of those things. Also, the price. Mind you I am shopping for myself only and I am only eating meats 🍖 salt 🧂 and water 💧. Newbie here. I hope to budget myself to a $80 hauls for two weeks at a time. Twice a month shopping really makes me stay on budget. Thanks again for this overview shopping trip❤
Omg! Thank you, Thank you. I learned so much from this video. I didn’t know about the black package versus white package of meat. I’m thankful for all your other tips as well. I was watching this video on my tv and had to find it on my phone because I had to comment 😂 wish I could comment while watching on my tv 😂😂😂🎉
Wonder if that packaging is done at other stores? I didn't know that either.
I didn’t know there was a difference between the white and black meat packages. Thank you
Sometimes the listed prices are different at checkout so I've started scanning before I put them in my cart. The difference goes either way: sometimes more, sometimes less.
I saw a video of a guy who complained to customer service about the scanning the wrong price. they walk back his whole order and looked at the receipt and the shelf talker price. They refunded him $40.
Hi! Thank you for the shopping trip. I didn't know Walmart had so many good meat choices, and specialty cuts.
My Walmart is awful. Was just there today checking out the meat just in case I found something reasonable and decent looking and nope; I’m rarely successful there. Those that have nice selections at their Walmarts are lucky!
Thank you for all you bring to this way of living life. Please continue to bring us along when you shop!! Very helpful info. 🤩
I love the pre-made burgers from WM. I get the red package but will do the others in a pinch. They are so convenient since I cook a lot just for myself. I will have to watch for the ribeye pork chops. TFS
Thanks for doing this video. I really appreciate seeing carnivore shopping somewhere other than Costco. I live 80 miles from the nearest Costco and don't have the ability to store meat in large quantities so Costco isn't an option for me. Just a note on the black and white packages in the meat department...the black packages are Angus beef, which is a type of cow. Same with the Wagyu beef. The white packages don't specify what type of cow the meat comes from but the Angus is definitely my favorite too.
I get the big pork loins at Costco like you do ($1.99/lb here) cut them in half, and cook in the crock pot one half at a time for 6-7 hours. It shreds with a couple of forks and is good with sugar free bbq sauce or plain. I don’t add anything to it in the crock pot, and when it shreds it soaks up the fat and is not dry at all. Thanks for your content! 🙏
Love this!!! Thank you. Very helpful!!!
I heard you live in the Phoenix area so of course I’m trying to see if I recognize any of those Walmart’s lol! We’re way out in the east valley, San Tan Valley to be exact but I get up to Gilbert and Chandler each week visiting family. Loved this video with all your different meat and food ideas to try!
Laura sending 🙏🏽healing love your way❤ When you are better in the near future, please do another shopping haul. Thank you
i discovered LMNT because of you - I love the watermelon but your husbands idea of chocolate in coffee is brilliant!
Awesome! So glad you love it!
The Chocolate is my least favorite. I always throw it away and keep all the other flavors, but now I'm going use it in my coffee, so yes I agree with you Tonya.....BRILLIANT ideal.
Wondering if the sodium amount might be considered too high since
I deal with high blood pressure😏??
@@hollyfisher8811 If you’re on blood pressure medication, it could be problematic…maybe. But if not, and you’re doing keto, etc., and dropping water weight rapidly along with burning through your glycogen stores, you will need the extra salt and potassium. A loss of potassium in particular will cause a rise in blood pressure. So if you’re strict with your keto/carnivore diet, you need to replace those electrolytes.
*husband's
Great haul! it was very helpful. my husband and I will be traveling for 3 weeks. I cooked a bag of those frozen burgers, bacon, eggs and 2 batches of your meatballs to take with us. plus I have a little egg cooker I bring too. and brought butter. lol
My wife and I do all of our grocery shopping at our Walmart! I never tried eating carnivore ! I’ve done keto before! Is it much different from each other? I d too fast between 18 to 24! I’m doing a 24 hr today! When I’m eating my breakfast! It’s basically 3 to 4 eggs! Greek yogurt! Blueberrys! I love. Chicken! Steak’ pork! Half of bagel! I don’t eat much steak! Pork thank you for sharing your help
We skip the pre-shredded Parmesan in the tub and cut the wedge up in the deli area by the potato salad and Walmart pizzas. $5 and makes way more shredded cheese that in the tub.
LOL that Walmart manager was such a punk; sending those two kids to do their dirty work. Good on you for being the bigger person!
Hey Laura, love your channel! 💕 Watching this video I was wondering if you knew about using pork rinds as a "breading" for chicken or pork chops. I found a recipe earlier this year while I was doing the keto diet and all it requires is a bag of plain crushed up pork rinds (best done in food processor), and a cup of grated or shredded parmesan cheese, The binder is egg, mayo and a little water. Once coated in the breading just bake in the oven🤤 it has become one of my favorite things to make now lol ❤️
What a great idea!!! I hate pork rinds, but I wonder if I could tolerate them if used this way...
@@CheapsKate77 I despise pork rinds as well, this is an amazing way to eat them lol
Love what you’re doing. Thanks so much for the great tips! 💓
I wonder about giving a kitten some meat she really needs to putvon some weight she is the runt and so so tiny. Compared to the others now they are about 4 or 5 months old now. Eating mostly free community pet pantry food. Dog food mostly because my stepson won't buy catfood for them. I think they would do good on meat. But just can't afford it for all his cats. There are 4 kittens and 5 adults 1 is the mama the daddy got away before they moved in with me.
When I tell people that I lowered my blood pressure from 198/105 to 128/72 in less than 30 days on the carnivore diet they just cant believe it. I refused medications and just made the switch. October 7th is 30 days. I also lost almost 30 pound's. I kicked it off with a 104 hour fast. Awesome content! Thank You!
congrats!
I went from a 42 inch waist to a 32 inch waist. BP is 100/66. You got this! Doing this for over a year.
I really need to do this also! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you for this I found it helpful and your videos at Costco and Aldi's.
This was so helpful Laura, thank you! I have a whole new appreciation for Walmart! Question for you, as far as the pork rinds, if it just says fried pork rinds and salt, how do we know what kind of oil is being used?
Oil? I doubt oil is used.
If they use seed oils it will be listed. Otherwise the skins are just fried in their own lard.
Learned something new today! Black styro vs. white styro. Never even noticed before. Thanks! Good to know for future purchases.
Thanks Luara for being our hero💪👍
I just ordered my LMNT from your link! I hope I like it.
Keep up the awesome job. I have learned so much watching your channel. Blessings.
The yellow sticker sales!! Love em! But when we were eating garbage, we always looked for the yellow money savers on their take n bake pizzas!!🤣🤣 No longer!!
Hey Carnivore Quest!! Love you guys!❤️ So cool seeing you here!!
You're lucky to have a good walmart in your area. The ones we have in my area have HORRIBLE meats and veggies so all I buy there are can goods and cleaning supplies.
Such a helpful video!! I don’t go to Walmart enough, your grocery haul looks amazing!! ❤
Yes, please brace Aldi, even the dollar store, Costco, BJS. This is a great video for me is a beginner on Carnivore. Thank you 😊
If you go to Walmart early in the morning, it’s rather nice and on Sunday morning but you got to go like 8 am but it’s so nice at that time.
I am and Over The Road Trucker and go to different grocery stores around the country and Walmart does have really good quality meat and other items as well
Very informative. I can say it helps that you are so pretty. I am trying to be more disciplined but it’s hard. Your videos help
Just thinking about starting a Carnivore diet, i am overweight 320lbs, this really helps to know what to actually shop for thank you so much for the list...looked up carnivore diet and a list of food not really much out there in the way of what actual items to get...thank you again.
It's so stupid that they won't let you film because you're bringing customers to the store. I normally shop at Wal-Mart and this really helps me and my family know what to buy. You are helping their business.
$26.00 for 3 ribeye steaks?!? What a steal. Where I live in Canada sometimes 2 rib-eye run about $54. Love your videos Laura!
Yes please do more grocery store shopping. Gave me some great ideas. Thanks
I did not know the difference in the foam meat container colors. Thank you: good to know
Just watched your channel for first time. You do a great job breaking it down and actually going grocery store to show what you buy. Thank You
Pork rinds are cheaper in the Asian section of grocery stores
I really appreciated this as I’m a Walmart shopper as well
Thanks for this! This video is so relatable!
This was great, thank you so much Laura! I had never heard of ribeye pork chops. I’ve always gone out of my way to find the pork chops that have the dark meat on them and the extra fatty bits but never knew that they actually had a name, hooray!
Yeah what I really found value here was learning about different cuts of meat and how to cook them. For instance I didn’t realize you could grill a chuck steak and eat it like a regular steak I thought it was only for low and slow.
Thank you and more please! 😁
Literally so unrelated to the video, but I’ve been watching for awhile, and hun, you are absolutely stunning! I started out carnivore today! I’ve been thinking about it for awhile. Though, im transitioning from 0 red meat to mostly red meat. Im trying to slowly transition by starting out my day with red meat and eggs and moving into seafood or poultry in the evening! Thanks so much for your videos!!
Wow this is so helpful! Thank you for posting!
Walmart really does have great prices! Also, I love your lipstick in this video!
I don't order any food or drinks online.
Because I had a bad experience.
Thaaaank you so much!! Your a gem!❤
I would love to see more of these shopping videos for great family inspo!!!!
This was helpful as I usually shop at Aldi
Love a Walmart haul! Very helpful
Im new to carnivore and have a family who is not - this was very helpful! Thanks!
Excellent Video. Thanks.
Very helpful! Thank you.
I've been spoiled by Wild Fork Food's ground beef. I buy the 72/28 for $3.88/lb and it's hands down the best ground beef, to the point that I don't really like other ground beef any more. They deliver and only have a $35 minimum order. I can only buy 10 lbs of ground beef at a time, and that gets me just a little over $35, so I just regularly buy 10 lbs at a time, occasionally adding something else in. A lot of things I like to pick out myself, so mostly I just buy the ground beef.
Where do you find WFF?
Thank you Laura! very informative video. Please keep doing these. 😀
Our Wal-Mart has 10 pound bags of chicken drumsticks or chicken leg quarters for about 85 cents a pound. They come in a yellow bag. They're from Arkansas and they are big pieces and taste great. Have not been disappointed!
Extremely helpful. Thank you!❤❤❤😊
Learned something new did not know that about the black packaging!
Lots of variations in Wal-Marts. My local Wal-Mart is dirty and poorly managed with people living in RV's in the parking lot. I avoid going there as much as possible. The "nice" Wal-Mart is about 19 miles one way for me.
