I can't live without ranch and mayo! Love the video, I've been wanting to try to start canning and you're videos are always so helpful, thank you for them!
I love shopping at US Food Chefs. I like to buy the pork belly, portion it out and make pork belly tacos. The Daley’s bacon is good too but it’s getting pricey. Usually I buy heavy cream and half and half for our coffee. Thanks for another great video.
Its standard practice in Europe to re-use jars and lids from the store. Pressure canning isn't really a thing here, so you don't typically find people preserving meat in jars, but jam, jellies, pickles, chutney is common. We dont water bath those either as the pH or sugar content ensures safety. Jams etc. Aren't heat treated commercially either, just hot fill and lid on.
Ranch is where it's at and the turkey agrees. It's just the two of us, so I stick with smaller packages and stock up when they have a really good sale.
We don't have the chef store LO.L, but we do have a restaurant supply and it does have bulk items just like Sam's Club or Costco I love to shop in bulk
The thing is you don't have to do it all in one day. pick a can that will not spoil like the ketchup and do that one day, then do the ranch the next day. They are safe in their present containers so do them as you can.
Ahhhhhh FROSTING what a cute name. I love your canning disclosure. Somebody else has birds in the house I love it❤Can't live with out real mayo.Oh my God I want a TURKEY!
Nice purchase! I have a card for a restaurant supply store that I have from when I worked at a restaurant years ago. It's not open to the public. Haven't been there in a long time. Great deals! Hope the card still works! Lol!
My Wal Marts carries one small section that has bulk size cans, if people do not have Cascos or BJ's near them they can check their local Wal Marts in one of the food aisles. it's not a very big section so look carefully.
I was surprised to see margarine in the chefs store. In wisconsin restaurants cannot serve margarine unless the customer requests it, if they even have it in house.
I wouldn’t repackage any of it. A gallon jug uses less refrigerator space than 4 quarts. Buy cheese in blocks, grate before freezing. Grated cheese has “cellulose” (paper pulp). Block cheese crumbles after freezing… which is perfect for already grated cheese.
To me, smaller containers are easier to handle and make the food last longer. The less air exposed to the product, the better. Plus, I couldn't imagine having the kids pour their own ranch out of a gallon jug! Haha. That's a tragedy waiting to happen!
WOW. That is some great prices on cheese. I would have jumped all over those different kinds of cubed cheeses for 6.99. That's only 2.34 a pound and they make a great snack for grandkids and also good for hiding my fur babies medicine in them. It would be better for me to get the Hidden Valley in a 36 ounce bottles. It only cost a few cents more and I don't have to refrigerate it. Since it's only me I'm afraid it would go bad before I used it all but I sure enjoyed watching you. You said you have recanned mustard before. Can honey mustard be recanned and if so for how long and would I water bath or pressure can it?
It was a hard debate on that cheese! It really was a good deal! To answer your question, you can't recan honey mustard because it is a salad dressing and has other ingredients. Mustard has a high acidity rate and that's why it can be recanned. Thanks for always watching!!
I know this is silly but i like when you are saying the prices you say 13.99 or 14 dollars when people shop and see 13.99 and they say oh this is only 13 dollars it makes me scream on the inside!! 😂😂😂 like if your are on a budget and rounding down like that while adding things up your total is going to be a bit of a suprise at the end!
iv mentioned this before im in the uk and foodbanks are for peopel who are on bennifits and have no food they can go and gert food for 3 days depending on what to place has so i dont understand the us method of food banks if you can afford to go to costco and where u were in this vlog u bought so much food so to me u dont meed a food pantry like i say us mite be dif you have to be be realy desprate to get food bank food
Yes, I've answered this before. It does seem to be different here; for everyone in the community is welcome to a portion of the food to help with their groceries. You can't get everything that you need for your family from the food bank, so shopping at stores is still necessary. I choose bulk stores to shop to get as much bang for my buck as I can.
@@mamabairds ty for the ansaw hun yep its total;y dif hear not saying you shouldnt at all hun seems better in us more fair hun ty for vlogs xx kathy xx
i wish it was over hear to iv bin short at times iv not used a food bank as i had food this was long time ago but i do put in a container i used to work in a store sainsburys and we had a bin were people put food toilt thins sanatery thins so i put bits in this alot of shops have these so its nice to give xx
Good tips! And, I too have caught myself singing in the store....LOL
Haha! I was singing again as I edited it! Haha
Love bulk shopping. I am like a kid in a candy store.. I want to buy it all.. Thanks for sharing friend
And Girl go back and get that ice cream.. lol
The ice cream would be good for summer!
I can't live without ranch and mayo! Love the video, I've been wanting to try to start canning and you're videos are always so helpful, thank you for them!
You are most welcome! I hope you give canning, but fair warning...it's addicting!!!
Nice 👍 job, Carolina. A short amount of time saved you lots of time in the future.
Love 💕 and Hugs. 💙💙💙
Thank you!
Beautiful idea 💡 😊
Thank you! 😊

Thank you as well!
I'm so impressed!
Thank you!
I love that Frosting the turkey was just chilling in the house. I say slap a chicken diaper on that bird and let it enjoy the recliner.😂
She is so spoiled! That turkey!
Nice haul, Carolina ..some great prices!!! 🥰
Thanks Nanny! I think they were some good prices too!

Just love that frosting! Looked right at home.
Right?! Can ya tell she is spoiled! She does love pets, so hard to blame her! Haha
Great idea to break bulk items down to family meal size.
I'm always surprised at the savings!
I absolutely love bulk shooing we don’t have anything like that around here but Costco we go 1 a month
Hey Carolina. Give your kids big hugs
Will do! They had their first concert tonight! Oh it was so cute!
i have a sealer its one of my fav items i use it alot x
I use mine so much too!
We don't have the chef store LO.L, but we do have a restaurant supply and it does have bulk items just like Sam's Club or Costco I love to shop in bulk
Bulk shopping is amazing!! I remember when I did Instacart and Costco was my favorite to get orders! Getting my shopping fix while getting paid!
I love how you did all that bulk stuff amazing I'm only one person but those were good tips God bless you and your family much love from Michigan ❤️🙏
The thing is you don't have to do it all in one day. pick a can that will not spoil like the ketchup and do that one day, then do the ranch the next day. They are safe in their present containers so do them as you can.
Thank you very much for that information God bless you Have a great day
Thank you so much! Some people split up the bulk items between friends or family if they don't have a big family. That's a great way to do it too!
Ahhhhhh FROSTING what a cute name. I love your canning disclosure. Somebody else has birds in the house I love it❤Can't live with out real mayo.Oh my God I want a TURKEY!
Turkeys are so fun! Frosting helped herself into the house again today! I really need a screen door. Haha
Nice purchase! I have a card for a restaurant supply store that I have from when I worked at a restaurant years ago. It's not open to the public. Haven't been there in a long time. Great deals! Hope the card still works! Lol!
That is awesome! I hope it works too!!

Thank you for that suggestion!! I forgot about the bulk section at WalMart!

No butter either. Do you know why? That's interesting
I would assume that's something your dairy industry made sure was enacted 🙄 why not add that to all the industry welfare they already receive.
It still gets used around here. That's all Applebee's and Ruby Tuesday used when I worked there. No real butter in sight.
Lolololol hard oil isnt good for you. @@candicefraser6346
Maybe it's for baking?
I need a chef store and a Winco!! Way to save money!!!
When you come visit, I'll take you there!
Next time I drive past that city, so stopping there, The Chef store!
It's a bit addicting!! HAHA
@@mamabairds I bet, looks fun! Hahahaha

Great video. Your chef store looks bigger than ours.
It's pretty big!

your chef store is way bigger than our's and I love the chicken wings our's sell too. I buy the large ketchup to make and can my home-made bbq sauce.
Oh nice! Ketchup is a super power condiment! Haha
I think ranch is cheaper at Sam’s. 80oz for $11.
I wish we had a Sam's club here! It would be fun to compare prices!
I have to buy everything that has no salt added or low sodium because i have high blood pressure
I buy sliced olives there to reprocess...makes them way less expensive!😂
Great idea!!
I recan my ketchup as well
It's so easy! I love doing it
Vacuum seal your qt jars of mayo and ranch. This will keep them fresh even longer. They will still need to be refrigerated.
Oh that's a great idea! Thank you for mentioning that!
❤
I'm cooking 12 meals in 24 hours. Freezing so I spend less time in kitchen. I'm put cooked freezer meal crock pot high. Ready in 2 hours
Great job! That's a good way to go about it!
How many times can you reuse the jars and lids?
I just check the lid and make sure the seal is intact. I've have used up to 3 times so far.
Your not burping the jars before clean rims?????
Yes, I debubbled them!
I know this is silly but i like when you are saying the prices you say 13.99 or 14 dollars when people shop and see 13.99 and they say oh this is only 13 dollars it makes me scream on the inside!! 😂😂😂 like if your are on a budget and rounding down like that while adding things up your total is going to be a bit of a suprise at the end!
That is so true! I always try and round up!
Hot sauce!
If you are living alone and buy big condiments they go bad before you can use them
Very true!
Do you recycle your cans and plastic.
No, we don't have a recycling company out this way.
RUclips is going to flag your video for that Madonna music!!!!
Naw, it passed the copyright check. I sing just enough that it doesn't sound like Madonna! Haha

I wish this type of food bank was offered all over. Mine is a rare gem, even in the states.

I'm live by myself buying in bulk won't benefit me
"Handle it as little as possible like my marriage"?? Odd comment for a kitchen video.
I'm an odd person and that shows up in my videos!
