    I’m LE. I’ve been making my own “MRE’s” for work and for camping with my kids. On a limited budget, I appreciate your ideas. I don’t always mimic them, but you spur thinking and ideas. Thank you!

    Yes, please do the clearance video. Also, if you don't mind the suggestion. A holiday blind bag tasting. You and three other vict.. I mean participants select from one of four MREs/Field Rations/C-Rations of which no one knows the contents. I know this may be a bit difficult to set up, but I think would be a wonderful episode.

    2:35 - Half of our pantry has Kroger Manager's Special stickers on it. One tip on Kroger shopping, get there mid morning if you can. We frequently find brand new, right off the truck items that have been marked down simply because the store does not have the space for it, and not just food items either. We have found toilet paper, paper towels and other household items marked down as well.

    Where I live in Pennsylvania is rural. We have the township above our borough. If you go up there it is wooded. It is amazing what people dump. It makes me so mad. I report it to the township and they properly dispose it. Also, there are yards up there, that look like garbage dumps. They do not have the codes to follow, like we do here in the borough. All in all, it is nice here. It is one of the reasons why, we moved here from overcrowded and expensive New Jersey. Hard to believe, that was 27 years ago. Have a great week.

    • @dadbudgetadventures
      @dadbudgetadventures  9 дней назад +1

      Unfortunately anyplace that looks unattended becomes a dumping ground and people have no guilt about trashing someone else’s property. It’s sad how bold they are with it.

    I don't know if my Kroger has an actual clearance area except in produce, I just usually find clearance stuff throughout the store. Wish it was all in one place! I always carry a type of MRE with me when I travel to and from town for errands. I'm 30-40 mins one-way depending on where I'm going, so, instead of $12-$15 a pop just for a sandwich or whatever, I take a gallon size ziplock that says "Mom's Purse Food" on it. 😂😂😂😂 As always thanks DBA for a great vid!!!

    Was a police officer in the 90s. Got called for the first time last year. I thought for sure I would be immediately dismissed. Nope. Ended up being jury foreman. Maybe it's because I took it more seriously than the others and wore a suit.
    Anyhoo, I'm off to a neighboring town's big Kroger to see if they have such a clearance rack and find some goodies.

    • @dadbudgetadventures

      I figure my LEO past will expire by the next time I get called. My wife was put on a jury a couple months ago and I was shocked that being married to me didn’t him get her dismissed. Things are changing I guess.

    Another great video showcasing what you can do with a quick trip to the store and not a lot of money to make the duty more fun. I would like to see more video from the "clearance bin". That would be awesome. I don't want to jinx myself but I've been called 3 times, twice as an alternate and once I had to go in. They let us go just after lunch because no one wanted a jury trial at that court house that week. The bailiff told us to leave and go buy lottery tickets on our way out.

    Even though it's not fun, jury duty is necessary. I've been called up to serve three times. Seated in the jury on a drunk driving case. It is a vital part of a functioning democracy. Thanks for doing your part, even if it is just sitting there waiting to get disqualified. Good use of an MRE. Thanks for making a video out of it and sharing your experience.

    Loved the video, and like the idea of a clearance themed one. Good to see that the AG has been pressured to do their duty. Those strawberry crisps looked good; nice and crispy. The tuna with sriracha looked delicious as well, and I can really imaging that as a salad at a restaurant. Pretty funny that the shortcake bar was evidently basement flavored🤣🤣🤣

    Yes, an MRE from clearance would be interesting. Of course we, Dear Wife & Myself, think all vids you produce are well thought out, executed with forethought, filmed & produced with precision, and most importantly are informative. Jury duty is a Civic Duty, one that is not enjoyed, however it is executed with great responsibility. You mentioned Federal Jury Duty, I once was tagged for Federal Duty in West Texas, Midland to be exact, served for 18 months, called up 4 times, served 3 trials, longest was 15 days. Not something I would ever like to repeat. Thanks for taking us along. See you on the trail.

    My wife and I go away once a year for our anniversary......
    Annnnd in real time I held that thought and proposed the idea to my wife who had objections and laughed and called me a dork.
    Admittedly, I call her a dork for the stuff she likes too. It's in a loving way BUT for her transgression, Im not sharing when I do it for myself.

    Jury duty, I got called twice this year, once for City and once for the County, didn’t have to sit in a trial for either. I did sit on a criminal trial case the first time I got called years ago, interesting experience. I think everyone should do it at least once.
    I agree that your call to jury duty is a perfect example of a time to grab a few homemade MRE’s and head out.
    It would be interesting to see the difference between a six month shelf life MRE and a two year shelf life MRE. A five year shelf life MRE would make for a challenge that would require sourcing from several places.
    I agree littering really gets under my skin as does graffiti.
    Good luck 🍀

    A real Meal Ready to Eat! Sorry about your location. When I lived in Hollywood, CA, I had jury duty many times in downtown L.A. Best time ever! First, the crimes were worth showing up for, so it was almost never a waste of time. Second, we always had at least 2-hour lunch breaks. Third, the number of great places to eat! Even the Department of Water and Power cafeteria, just across the street, was great. But the best was that Chinatown was just a couple of miles away.
    Once I had JD at the Mental Health court, not in downtown, but the County drove us there and picked up the tab for lunch wherever we chose to eat. The topper was the "judge" was Lance Ito way prior to the O.J. trial. I say "judge" because he wasn't one yet and was filling in for a judge who was on vacation. We weren't a jury to find guilt or innocence, just to determine if a mentally committed inmate was safe to release back into society.

    cool idea. Been called twice for duty. Treated like crap. Wasted a lot of time. Then dismissed because I am ex military. Anyway concept should be to always have an option available.

    I don't understand the people who do not comprehend the need for MRE (or MRE types) of foods. Who wants to fight through a line of people at Wendy's just to cram an overpriced burger down and jump right back into the jury waiting room? It was also interesting to see you enjoying an MRE in a public place... especially watching you scan around constantly, staying aware of your surroundings.

      One can never assume all is well. I have watched as people around the courthouse defy laws and the police as if they have no account for their actions. Then they wonder why they are on the other side of the bench.

    The research suggests that jury tends to give more lenient verdicts when their glucose levels are at satisfactory levels. If the defendant is guilty you better not touch your supplies before the proceedings!

    Jury nullification is the main reason juries exist. A jury in the US has the roght to say, "yes, a law was broken, but no crime was committed, not guilty."
    Everyone needs to know this.

    • @dadbudgetadventures
      @dadbudgetadventures  8 дней назад

      To be fair, most jurors fail to understand the law they are considering in court. No matter how much you explain it most people still base their decision on personal belief and bias.

    Thanks, that was an interesting video. I do think that you are wrong about "wasting your time." I worked in the court system for nearly 30 years. You are part of the jury pool. Defendants who had a false sense of right & wrong and a skewed sense of reality need to see potential jurors like yourself before they have that "come to Jesus" moment. You are doing your civic duty just by showing up, although at a painfully slow speed, but it is productive. Thanks for showing up.

    • @dadbudgetadventures
      @dadbudgetadventures  8 дней назад +1

      That’s the real benefit of being there. We had 12 cases set for trial that week and 10 pled out Monday morning once the jurors arrived. That visual is often a great deterrent for someone who goes in thinking they won’t be able to find enough people to seat their jury.

    • @frankhinkle5772
      @frankhinkle5772 8 дней назад

      @@dadbudgetadventures That was what I was trying to say without saying it. I got to hear the defense attorneys trying to talk sense into their clients. "The jurors are sitting out in the hall! The officers haven't dropped dead from heat attacks! They are out in the hallway in fine health! Your 'witnesses' aren't answering my phone calls. What are we doing here?!"
