What are some foods to get at a dollar store? Obviously not meat and produce. I'm thinking things like dry foods and stuff to save time and money. Are things there like rice, beans, cereal, flour, sugar, spices etc truly awful?
>>7204692
Dollar store or dollar general? I like those fast bites at dollar general.
eh we got some canned stuff from a big lots that wasn't too bad.
>>7204692
Steak
>>7204692
Their shrimp and lobster are to die for
>>7204695
yea fast bites are pretty decent bout the same quality and price of value menu junk at fast food places
DG has relatively cheap jerky and summer sausage too
>>7204692
Don't buy their canned red beans, they really suck and can spoil a chili. If you're gonna use canned beans get Progesso.
>>7204710
>chili
>beans
Sup flyover faggot
doesn't dollar general have sausage? I think the dollar general I went to had sausage. Didn't look too bad but I didn't try it so I don't know.
>>7204715
Yeah it's it's the standard stuff from Eckrich. Sometimes there's a frozen one too which isn't bad but the casing is too think and I have to peel it off and break it apart, I don't remember what brand that is.
>>7204714
That shit will go bad by then you meme spouting retard
>>7204722
It'll never go bad in a fridge. It's so full of preservitives that it might survive a nuclear war as long as it's refrigerated as long as it's refrigerated. It does lose it's carbonation but wtf, it never had much in the first place.
>>7204726
Now we're getting hard core!
>>7204734
these senpai

I typically buy Hillshire Farm, but that recently ballooned in price for some reason. Been considering trying Eckrich, especially since with coupon, its price is a third the price of HF at regular price.
Have you tried both? How does Eckrich compare?
Dollar Tree > Dollar General
>>7204744
I think Eckrich is better but given the price of both there's no reason to give both a try. Usually for what I see from Hillshire Farm, those are frozen, but Eckrich isn't frozen it's just kept in the fridge section. I find them to be two differerent things so shouldn't be directly compared.
>>7204758
... not give both a try ...
i tried getting food there once, at what was basically the lowest point in my 35 years of life. my shit was as thick as molasses. the literal definition of buttmud.
>>7204758
Y'ain't got no idea what you talking about, nigga.
HF ain't sold frozen. .
>>7204778
are your shits usually runny?
>>7204723
lol
>>7204790
no, usually they are well formed logs. after eating dollar tree they were shapeless messes of thick black goo
>>7204692
Dollar General employee here. Most of our food products aren't much cheaper than Wal-Mart, especially if you're checking cost-to-product ratio.
If you see a product that expires within a week ask for a discount at the register and you'll usually get it unless you're being a turbo cunt.
>>7204838
>can i get a discount on this cheap ass piece of shit?
>"no"

>FINE ILL JUST GO TO FIFTY CENT GENERAL THEY KNOW HOW TO TREAT A LADY
That's how 90% of our negative customer interactions end.
>>7204692
I bought Dollar Tree steak once and it wasn't horrible, especially for a dollar. I usually buy seasonings, flour/sugar/baking soda/baking powder, rice and beans, ice cream, I like their big ass bags of popcorn.
>>7204723
>>7204878
You have POSITIVE customer interactions, ever??
>>7204723
That looks terrifying.
>>7204726
how can people fuck up homemade grilled cheese sandwiches? They're better fresh anyways and are quick to make
how the fuck do these places even have food? Dollar stores here in canada don't, I mean, other than some basic canned things and mixes, but nothing perishable.
>>7204747
dollar tree not even once
this on the other hand I might try someday if I can find it
you can't fuck up a bread mix that much, right?
>>7205130
It isn't good food but they sell shit. Namely chips, candy, soda, bread, pasta, canned vegetables, canned meat, dips, condiments, spices, drink mixes, snack cakes, box dinners, etc. They now sell milk, shit cheese, lunch meat, and frozen food. Extremely small selection. More recently I hear they sell shitty steaks and the bad macro beer.
>>7205143
that is so fucking depressing. hate larry the cable guy and his pandering to the worst human refuse
>>7205141
shredded plastic.jpg
>>7205141
pls no
>>7205149
not quite, if i remember correctly it's basically a starch with hydrogenated vegetable oil, preservatives, 'flavoring' and coloring in that order
still, a sad cheese substitute if you can even remotely call it that
>>7205156
>people actually pay any amount of money for that product
>>7205141
this for reals?
>>7205200
completely, there's also italian and mexican shreds
page with product info seems to not be up anymore or perhaps down, but it american shreds has
>Water, Food Starch, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Whey, Salt, Casein and/or Caseinate, Sodium Phosphate, Sorbic Acid (as a preservative), Carrageen, Natural Flavor, Lactic Acid, Artificial Color, Powdered Cellulose to prevent caking.
so basically empty calories
>>7205210
forgot pic, polite sage
>>7204734
i feel like when if i eat that, i will die from food poisoning instantly
>>7205143
They sell that at the 99cent only stores in California. The major chain with the blue and purple sign.
>Pasteurized Process Topping
>>7205141
>not formulated to melt
Isn't that the whole point of process cheese though?
>process topping
So, it's not even process cheese. It's just... process? Even garbage like TV dinners and Kraft slices have some kind of food element in them. Is it even legal to feed people something that intentionally isn't food?
>>7205240
no and no.
Not all processed cheeses are meant not to melt. Rather, most are meant to melt in a consistent manner without the fats or other ingredients separating. It all depends on the manufacture's goal with the product and how well they formulate it to achieve the results.
and no it's not illegal as they dont call it cheese. it's not toxic (at least in regularly consumable doses), sure it's basically nothing but as long as they dont call it cheese or advertise it as such, they can get away with it. It is highly deceptive though for them to be giving it such a cheese like product and package appearance , not to mention giving it a name befitting of some shitty shredded cheese. They're relying on uninformed, poor and/or impulsive shoppers, so it could be possible that some sort of lawsuit be filled but really it's not worth anyone's time, the best thing to do is just not buy it and let them phase it out, better yet though getting them bad publicity for such shameful products.
>>7205240
It's probably cheaply made and not properly emulsified and just separates when heated
The Dollar Tree cheezits are pretty legit.
>>7205234
More like 9999 Cent Only.
>>7204692
XXtra flaming hot cheetos
european dollar
Bottled spices.
Those dollar spices and shits are pretty cheap compared to retail superstores.
