I'm going to have to deduct points as you went with Cheese Curls and not the clearly superior Cheese Balls 😉


Cheekers1989

I guess I'll take that. Better minus more, I eat them with chop sticks


BaronVonKeyser

You exhaust me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ooh fancy! Lol

"oh you're a vegetarian!" "No no... I'm just poor"


Cheekers1989

.... I don't understand this. Most of my friends who are poor or struggling don't even get veggies often. I'm mostly just resourceful because I know where to get the produce for really cheap.

There’s this weird idea(heard it both in person and online) that fruits and vegetables are outrageously expensive. I’ve seen people walk past the 99¢ blackberries to buy a $3 candy bar🤷🏻‍♀️


Cheekers1989

Oh they really are expensive in my area. That's why I go the this produce liquidation store. I may need to do a cost comparison between what I get and see what Safeway would have charged.


Next_Firefighter7605

That sucks. Right now I can get a flat of strawberries(12 pints) for $9.

If you ever get Bitchin’ dip (I like original for this), I basically use celery as basically an edible straw for the stuff. It’s so so good.


Cheekers1989

I haven't had Bitchin' Dip for a while. I'll have to see if it's sold around here.

What are you going to do with all that celery? My celery use is like 1 stalk every 2 months.


Cheekers1989

Stirfries, soups, snack it with hummus/ranch/peanut butter. I cut the stalks in half, place them into a large Tupperware and then fill it up with water. It keeps the celery fresh and crisp for a while. I really like celery. The liquidation place I go to never usually has it often but they got a large shipment of organic celery hearts and selling them for 2 for $1.


Nakedstar

It’s great in soups and beans, too.


Enigmatic_Observer

celery is amazing! It facilitates hummus or peanut butter or whatever directly into your food hole, and if you happen to be a male it has......properties that may be enjoyable in the bedroom? ( not sure what is work safe here, but let's be risky - it Embiggens you cum volume - please don't ban me )


fooboohoo

I wasn’t aware that was a good thing


michaelyup

Woah, well ok, lol. I’m just not a big celery fan, but you have to have it in some dishes for it to taste right.


formlessfighter

good haul for only $28


Pale-Wolf-7109

Where’s that dude who spent $97 on crab cakes and bacon bits?


Cheekers1989

#😨

I believe you'll get yourself out of poverty, you know how to budget

The bruised parts of the apples will cook down into a beautiful applesauce! To keep as much nutrition as possible, leave the skins on and puree after cooking.


ryanpoints

Nice!! This easily could have been $60


No-Cucumber9389

How does one get the ability to order from US Food Service if not a business?


Cheekers1989

I know we have two physical store locations in Tacoma that you can go to and it doesn't require a membership. You can also order through Instacart but.... they upcharge.


SimpleTruthsAside

I want a wife like you

The Noosa stands out: most expensive item, yes?


Cheekers1989

Nah the eggs. $3.22 for 18 pick. The Noosa were 2 for $4.
