They make me nostalgic for Family Dollar. And that's ridiculous, since I witnessed a fight and was threatened with a knife in a FD. Still superior to DG. 😂
My dad has been contracted to do the dirt work for them a couple times and he said that he was told they planned on one every 10 miles across the country
As someone who works in the cheese industry, I can tell you the reason the parm is brown. Cheap parm producers heat the hell out of the curds to expel more moisture and make a hard cheese quicker. They also probably age it at a higher temperature.
I think the rind thing is also what they do like Josh said, usually cheaper products use a lot of the by products (like the strange but still crab meat that is just like the parts from the connectors of the crabs that they sell in cans, it's like water fibers of meat). I've never heard of anyone making cheap parm ONLY for the grated cheese so even so it's likely the rinds and leftover bits, and alot of the other grated cheeses also include cellulose which makes it a bit lighter.
@@tinntinnamp cheap parm doesn't have a rind! It's aged in plastic so a rind never develops. You are only going to find a rind on much more expensive products as natural aging is much more expensive.
As a person who lives in the south. Take one of the 7 dollar generals I see in my 13 minute drive to work and just move it to LA so the mythical crew can experience them always being out of stuff
I thought this exact same thing when he said LA didn't have many dollar generals! I live in a city with a population of around 24,000 and I know of 4 dollar generals in town, but I feel like there's more I don't know about.
It makes sense that Dollar General is a rare sight in LA, they seem to be everywhere in rural areas. I live in rural PA and you can't throw a rock without it bouncing off one Dollar General and then hitting another.
Yeah they love to put them in small towns. There is one just a county over from me in a town of only about 500 people. And yes we also just call it The Dollar Store or even just 'dee-gee'.
Almost like it was socially engineered that way....Well, off to build more liquor and gun stores, and poisonous fast food chains in strategically placed neighborhoods, by coincidence, of course. Ain't life just full of cowinky-dinks like that? Funny. Haha.
I'm surprised this didn't come up, because this is absolutely what I thought as well. That's definitely the difference. All the air in the Funyun absorbed the burnt onion taste
My grandma used to make a simple tuna noodle casserole. She didnt always put peas in it but when she did, what a treat. We loved it! So cheap, so simple. Looking back, it's clearly a struggle meal, but its a comforting one.
My wife's comfort food is her version of tuna "casserole" too. She literally just boils pasta, drains it, then in the same pot adds mayo or miracle whip, and a can of tuna. That's it. But she loves it because that's what she grew up with. Talk about a struggle meal.
My Mom's family has a great tuna noodle crispy recipe, but we never used peas growing up. We tried it semi-recently, but without looking up how much to add, we put in probably 2 or 3 times as many peas as we should have!😂 We still ate it, but the pea flavor was overwhelming... We always make it with some nicely toasted, buttery bits o' bread, and it really adds a lot to the dish.
@ChristianNorge This series isn't entirely about being economical, it's seeing what the stores offer can make. One of the previous videos featured Whole Foods, for goodness' sake. Like sure, you can live off of unseasoned beans and rice if you have to for a few dollars a week.
@ChristianNorge Just an FYI, the $8 is for that whole casserole dish, not a serving of it. I think the recommended serving size for that type of casserole is 6-8, but if you watch other Mythical content like GMM you know that the serving size recommendations can be very off what a person would actually eat.
Shopping in this economy, I'd stay away from Dollar General. They used to be cheap, but now they're more expensive than Walmart. I occasionally pop in there for something when I'm in a hurry, because it's so much faster in and out, and I see things I regularly get at WM that cost quite a bit more at DG.
You don't understand though, once one Dollar General springs up somewhere soon there will be 3 more. You'll blink and another just builds itself nearby.
We have 2 in my town of 15,000 people. Almost literally on the 1 main road that goes through the town. Edit: I forgot about the one in the middle so 3. Literally north side, center and Southside lmao
@justjones4148 lmao it's crazy. They spread like wildfire. Where you from? I'm in CT. Edit: I lied. I forgot about the 1 in the middle of town. So we have 3 too!
I spend the majority of my time as a passenger in a long haul semi. No joke, we can be in the literal middle of nowhere with NOTHING for miles and we'll round a corner and there's a Dollar General with cars parked at it. Or. Going thru a town with 90% of it's main street boarded up, but there's a shiny new Dollar General.
Dollar General has an interesting business strategy. They’re trying to be the old-timey “General Store” for small towns, bringing a decent variety of products but remaining small and easily accessible to the smaller towns with no huge corporate stores like Walmart or even Albertsons/Safeway. So, you’re more likely to find them around LA rather than in LA.
@@christianhansen3292 That usually happens with these small town stores even if they have a big corporation backing them up. Just a step above a fancy convenience store, they can charge more because they don’t have the big city competition. Still, their prices are better than most. Safeway keeps having mergers with European grocery store chains and their stuff and gets fancier and prices go up.
There’s actually a dollar general market that just opened up in my county, it’s effectively a small grocery store. Fresh produce, small selection of meats,larger Beauty and health section than the normal DG. Not sure where else they’re popping them up at, but im definitely vibing with the DG market here
Honestly, this is my favorite mythical kitchen series, please make them more often. Josh running amuck in a kitchen while making recipes that I genuinely want to try is fantastic (I almost want to see another cast member do on, esp Nicole)
Yes. They are clearly especially not pretentious about cheap meat - and where it comes from. And how it looked there... and what it will do to our planet and to the animals. Well... Americans.
i genuinely love this series. i appreciate josh showing that you can make just as good, just as filling meals even if youre struggling. i definitely remember getting dollar general groceried as a kid and feeling shitty about it, this series is fixing that lil kid in me.
To be fair we don't have many Trader Joe's if any in the South and DG are staple stores here. There are a godsend for places that are rural for people not living close to any grocery stores and some even provide fresh produce now. I think this is my favorite series because there are a lot of people dealing with inflation and rising cost of food so if you can make a low cost healthy meal without breaking the bank you are helping families. Because a whole lot of people cannot afford places like Whole Foods aka whole paycheck. Thanks Josh and the Mythical Team.

Honestly, entertainment value aside (and I do think this series is entertaining) this series is awesome because its helped me identify good products to get and from which store
There are so many Dollar Generals here in PA, that my family has a running gag where we point them out. Whenever we drive past one, we say "Oh look, a Dollar General."
Lies, my child demanded a bowl of cream of mushroom soup last thanksgiving and I let her eat it. Like followed me around the house with the can til I finally gave in. It’s one of her top favorite soups now.😂
She has good taste😂 I used to eat a bowl of cream of mushroom soup with crackers before preschool or kindergarten(I can’t remember which exactly lol) it’s still one of my faves at almost 19
@@corrinsheart when I was in third grade my art teacher told me that was one of her favorites! I used to do the same but I always forget to buy crackers nowadays to be able to do it 🤣
Saaaaaame it was one of my favorites when i was in elementary school in the 2000s 😅 as an adult ill make fresh from scratch mushroom soup now, we all gotta start somewhere lol
Actually Dollar Tree and Dollar General have the same owner now and many stores are going to close in areas with multiple locations of each. It has been all over the news. I think in excess of 500 stores will close.
LOL! So it's not just me? I'm like, um there's still cheese in there. OMG you're not gonna scrape that bowl into the pan?? There's a blob of noodles in there by your hand! 😬
Your lack of Dollar General stores is foreign to me. Here, in N.C., we breed them and release the litters in every community statewide. The young DGs have a 98% survival rate.
Cream of Mushroom soup with a ton of saltines was a childhood staple for me. I still go back to the well occasionally when I need to eat away the sads.
With the 99¢ stores closing expect to see DG swoop in to take over. I live in a small town in Indiana and there are 5 DGs within a 25 minute drive. And 2 FD/DT in the same radius. Within an hour drive the DGs shoot up to like 20.
Seriously that south carolina team was ridiculous. They had so much depth, chemistry, and talent that they could've sent two separate teams to the tournament with that roster. No one could figure out how to defend them with all their subbing and every lineup played well together. So good.
Josh, you're so relatable honestly. I think our moms would've been "friends" and it would've ended like all of my mothers friendships - in a strange bout of violence and an awkward couple of weeks
I used to eat frozen peas as a snack. I can confirm that it doesn't correlate to the best outcomes later in life. Maybe giving peas a chance was a mistake.
My mom never put cheese in her tuna noodle casserole, and it never had a frechs onion topper either. I enjoy her warm tuna mush ❤ this video makes me want to make it

As an Aussie, same girl! 🤣 I’m so invested for no damn reason! I half sit here wondering if I can purchase any actual groceries from The Reject shop! Also to Lindsey, sorry to hear about your struggles with viable food in your area. It’s super hard to get nutritious, affordable food these days. I hope something changes for you guys 🫶🏼
@@Kimbojangles at least you can occasionally get funyuns from IGA so that’s one possible ingredient of the many many ingredients in this dish, haven’t found them here yet! When I was in Oz I managed to get a few things from the reject shop but definitely nothing fresh or nutritious
You know things are getting dire when they started this series comparing stuff like Whole Foods and Walmart, and now we're at Dollar Tree vs. Dollar General
I love how down to earth this episode is. Tuna Noodle Casserole and similar dishes (we used to have salmon patties with bread&butter and frozen broccoli cheese) are the backbone of the middle and lower class family dinners. Stretch your protein with carbs always have something green. Have leftovers for leftover night
Grew up eating tuna noodle casserole. We used to use plain potato chips for the topping and not gonna lie its so good unless you have leftovers then the texture of them gets weird
Omg 🤣😂🤣😂 I'm watching this while I'm struggling through my physical therapy at home when I hear Josh say Ring doorbell should've just been called Anus and omg I busted out laughing and had to stop to leave this comment 😆 I feel a little better now, thanks y'all 💜
I always say I am excited to get old because I already love soft foods like casseroles. lol. Josh, you may be interested in my husband's family's Great Depression dish, which is similar to tuna noodle casserole, but without the noodles (though you can serve it on/with noodles or rice if you wish): You heat tuna in a frying pan, add mushroom soup, canned peas, and crushed potato chips. It is cheap, it is amazing, and we cook it almost once a week, it is a family staple.
as someone who lives in iowa, that was still an amazing game to watch. good, clean, enthusiastic basketball. no trash talking on or off the field before or after the game. south carolina has an incredible coach. one with absolute class and love for her job and the sport. one that teaches her players to play to their best potential, but also to respect the sport and the teams they play.
As the only person who cooks in their household, I really enjoy learning new methods and techniques from these videos. I really have learned lots from just watching Josh cook over the last few months.
Thank you for making this episode, although this is the most fancy tuna casserole I have seen. My mother would use Campbell's mushroom soup, tuna in oil, a soup can of water, and paprika for color. I started adding French's onions for crunch, and I feel guilty. I'll have to try this recipe to up my game! ❤🎉😅
My favorite thing is how the ingredients don’t get trashed on just because they might not be as quality as if they were from other stores. He always has something good to say!
I agree with this assessment . 6:35 It's make absolute sense. Because they can call it parmesan cheese, because It's still technically is 100% real parmesan cheese. It's just that They make It from the worst part of the cheese .
"We need more Dollar Generals." - A comment that has never been uttered in the midwest. They mysteriously breed like gremlins around here. 🤣
Same in the South as well.

Same here in small town iowa. One town of a couple hundred people can have 1-3 dgs. Some of the mid size ones have up to 5, and the large ones....😂😂😂😂
the "step 1 bread crumb topping and step 2 tuna noodle casserole" really feels like "draw a circle, draw the rest of the owl"

As an Aussie, same girl! 🤣 I’m so invested for no damn reason! I half sit here wondering if I can purchase any actual groceries from The Reject shop!
Also to Lindsey, sorry to hear about your struggles with viable food in your area. It’s super hard to get nutritious, affordable food these days. I hope something changes for you guys 🫶🏼
@@Kimbojangles at least you can occasionally get funyuns from IGA so that’s one possible ingredient of the many many ingredients in this dish, haven’t found them here yet! When I was in Oz I managed to get a few things from the reject shop but definitely nothing fresh or nutritious
One of my favorite things about these episodes is Nicole's laughter in the background!
I would like to see an episode with Aldi being the cheap option
Where I am in the midwest, Aldi and DG are both more expensive than Walmart. Both used to be so much cheaper, it's crazy.
we have like 3 dollar generals within ten miles of the same road
Mythical Kitchen, This is fantastic! I subscribed right away!
You know things are getting dire when they started this series comparing stuff like Whole Foods and Walmart, and now we're at Dollar Tree vs. Dollar General
I mess with the basketball analogies. Keep doing them until we get you in the Celebrity Allstar Game
A gluten free video on these would be awesome! I love watching them but I can't make many of them cause I'm celiac.
I love how down to earth this episode is. Tuna Noodle Casserole and similar dishes (we used to have salmon patties with bread&butter and frozen broccoli cheese) are the backbone of the middle and lower class family dinners. Stretch your protein with carbs always have something green. Have leftovers for leftover night
Grew up eating tuna noodle casserole. We used to use plain potato chips for the topping and not gonna lie its so good unless you have leftovers then the texture of them gets weird
Love the sports commentary bro keep it up your a joy to watch man especially after a stressful day at work
Omg 🤣😂🤣😂 I'm watching this while I'm struggling through my physical therapy at home when I hear Josh say Ring doorbell should've just been called Anus and omg I busted out laughing and had to stop to leave this comment 😆 I feel a little better now, thanks y'all 💜
I learn so much from Josh consistently on these shows 😂
I always say I am excited to get old because I already love soft foods like casseroles. lol. Josh, you may be interested in my husband's family's Great Depression dish, which is similar to tuna noodle casserole, but without the noodles (though you can serve it on/with noodles or rice if you wish): You heat tuna in a frying pan, add mushroom soup, canned peas, and crushed potato chips. It is cheap, it is amazing, and we cook it almost once a week, it is a family staple.
1:30 ok west wing reference, I see you 😌
Watching this while getting ready for my shift at DG 😂😂😂
Buttered popcorn is the only correct choice for best bean.
It's so weird I don't get the hype lmao
as someone who lives in iowa, that was still an amazing game to watch. good, clean, enthusiastic basketball. no trash talking on or off the field before or after the game. south carolina has an incredible coach. one with absolute class and love for her job and the sport. one that teaches her players to play to their best potential, but also to respect the sport and the teams they play.
The basketball analogies absolutely work for me. Especially the 90s ones. Keep them coming!
13:39 you know the vine
That's what good 🐱 sounds like
this guys the conan obrian of food shows, love it
I used to eat frozen peas as a snack. Sometimes I still do. It’s sweet, cold and crunchy
100% agree, buttered popcorn flavor Jelly Bellies are the best!
As the only person who cooks in their household, I really enjoy learning new methods and techniques from these videos. I really have learned lots from just watching Josh cook over the last few months.
I enjoy these vs episodes! Very calming for some reason and I dont know why 😂
All of the women’s basketball references made this my favorite episode ever. More please
The basketball analogies are working for me lol. I love Caitlin Clark, that girl is the truth!
Uuuugh so good. Tuna Noodle Casserole with a layer of Velveeta in the middle, and topped with crushed lays chips.
Thank you for making this episode, although this is the most fancy tuna casserole I have seen. My mother would use Campbell's mushroom soup, tuna in oil, a soup can of water, and paprika for color. I started adding French's onions for crunch, and I feel guilty. I'll have to try this recipe to up my game! ❤🎉😅
Not me fangirling over Caitlin Clark… Josh I love your basketball analogies please never stop
My favorite thing is how the ingredients don’t get trashed on just because they might not be as quality as if they were from other stores. He always has something good to say!
I agree with this assessment . 6:35 It's make absolute sense. Because they can call it parmesan cheese, because It's still technically is 100% real parmesan cheese. It's just that They make It from the worst part of the cheese .
I don’t get the basketball references but if you want to throw in some hockey, I’m all here for it lol
Here in Texas there are Dollar Generals everywhere! We have Dollar Trees too. I like the candy Dollar Tree has during Christmas.
Josh seemed really hungry with this one lol he was munching on everything
Hell yeah, finally somebody riding that Gamecock hype after the undefeated season!
My introduction to Josh and mythical kitchen was 99c ramen done 3 ways during lockdown. More of those videos please!!
I eat all of the cream-of soups as soup at least once a month. Chicken, mushroom, celery, broccoli... Sometimes, I even mix at least two of them...
Omg my fave childhood dish is Tuna noodle casserole! Best episode ever! ❤
Every one of Josh’s childhood stories absolutely doesn’t miss
