-- Please use this thread to recommend items at the Hyvee or whichever is your grocer
 
I was thinking it may be cool to exchange food feedback on foods you've tried, maybe newer products or classic foods...

include drinks, milk brand preferences, if you like.


Snack cakes are cool, if you like the Walmart bakery's cream horns, let's ****ing hear about it!

It can be junk food or healthy, both are open for any discussions or recommendations.



here are a few that easily come to mind w/o thinking about it too hard:

Bugeater 09-15-2011 10:11 PM

One cool thing our Baker's (Kroger's) does is they let you build your own six pack of premium beers. I like it because it lets you try new stuff without the commitment of buying an entire six pack of the same thing. I doubt that concept is unique to them, but I'm not aware of another store that does it.

Baker's has a decent selection, I've never counted but there has to be at least 20-25 different things to choose from. They change it up a lot too.

What's funny is I'll see shit like Coors light and Mike's hard lemonade in there, like anyone is going to put that crap into a six pack that they're paying $8 for.

oh yes, ok, my fault - I go to Aldi about once per quarter, you can go w/ 40$ and get a few bags, you just can't really buy many things like meat there, their milk is legit though, Britain Based company, I believe.

Do they sell PS3 there?

Simply Red 09-15-2011 10:51 PM

I had this phone# once, where the prior owner 'Willie Jones' got numerous calls even after they'd given me his old# and clearly he was no longer at that phone-number.

One of the accidental texts was: 'Dis yo lil' cousin Spud'

The other one was December 26th, they typed: "WHO GOT DEM PS3's?!!"

:thumb: These are a staple in casa cdcox. I give you Egg Thing:

Get a good mess of hash browns going according to the Simply Potato package. Use a 12" non-stick skillet. Style points for a clean flip of the hash brown.

When the hash browns are done, sprinkle some shredded sharp cheddar, and some chopped ham over half of the hash browns. Fold the hash brown in half to melt the cheese. In the vacated half of the skillet pour in 3 to 5 well beaten eggs and scramble. After the eggs are cooked mash together the eggs and the hash brown/cheese/ham.

Serve, while singing:

Egg Thing...
You make my heart sing...
Egg Thing...
I think I looove you. But I wanna know for sure.

Heinz Simply Ketchup optional but recommended.

I like the simple 'medium' Ortega smooth red sauce for a taco, I'm pretty simple w/ Mexican, when I make it, mostly concentrate on uniform cut, COLD veggies such as slivered lettuce and maybe small small dice tomatoes, well chilled - I alway enjoy jalapenos. I like Sargentino Sharp Cheddar, sour cream and chives, are also important. But i don't **** w/ skirt steak or anything like that and If i make fajitas, it almost alway chicken, or i'll just do a fillet, though i haven't done up any beef fajitas in nearly 4 yrs.

I worked in an IGA in Oregon for three years in the early 80's. That chain (Roth's IGA) is still going strong in the Salem, OR area. I don't think I've seen any in the Spokane area.

we used to go to a mom n pops store in Stover Missouri enroute to the lake. She's always get good fresh cut cold-cuts. Also, notably, she bought this colby cheese which was cut on the meat-slicer, Grandma (the other grammy) would alway ask them to cut it as thin as possible, it was amazingly good.

Most of the independent stores here are Western Family stores but there is still the odd IGA. Safeway is a big chain (I think they are called "Van's" in other parts of the country). However, we are really limited in choices. There aren't any Trader Joe's or Whole Foods or any of those kind of stores.

I drive by a Safeway, but I have yet to stop in and see what the hoopla is all about. I've heard good and bad things. We also have Aldi's, HyVee, Bag N Save, and a few other stores.

There's nothing like going into a small town store though. My parent's have a Jack N Jill's in the town they live in and everyone is always friendly, (even to the out-of-town city folk lol).

Is Safeway new in the area? They've been around here since I was a little kid (I'm 47) so they aren't a big deal. They tend to be expensive so we usually only buy sale items there.

I live out in the sticks so have very limited choices. There is a Safeway, a Super 1 (Rosauers), a mom and pop Western Family store and a Super Walmart. For anything else, we have to drive 80 miles to Spokane. About once every 6 weeks or so, we make a run down there and hit Costco, Cash n Carry, WinCo and several Asian markets.

I don't know how long Safeway's have been in Omaha. Bugeater might know when they moved in the area. I pass one on the way to work and back, but didn't notice it until a year or so ago.

Omaha has not had a Safeway in decades. Since we were grade school kids.
Had a Hinky Dinky thats gone now to.

Flafel mix at HyVee is great. Get the one by the pound not the boxed ones.

It just doesn't add up to me.

Anyhow, good night, i'm gonna go ahead and crash now.

They are out of Germany. It's the Albrecht brothers that started using the private label idea throughout their stores. They started as ALbrecht DIscount, hence Aldi.

Trader Joe's uses the Aldi private label idea, but from what I've heard they are more "upscale" than Aldi. There are TJ's in KC now, but not near me, so I haven't been to one.
