Good morning everybody.. make this day matter. It’s great being a part of such a caring group!!!!
That pineapple machine!!!! Every store needs that. ❤
yes, Detwiler's is Mennonite. I watch Lynette Yoder, she lives in Sarasota FL and has mentioned them quite often.
Amy Bread Fruit is a vegetable from the Carribean, you peel them and removed the cored, boil them with a little salt.. They are eaten with Cod fish sauteed with veggies.. Also can be fried like green Plantains.. Delicious.. Cactus leaves are eaten alot in mexico and other South American countries..
Yup, Aldi's is the store! I remember when Aldi's came to town and I did my regular shopping, I'd look at my cart and couldn't believe how inexpensive everything was. Even with inflation, the prices are still so reasonable. Great job, Amy!
Amy, since your peppers are not used quickly, try cutting them up and put them in a freezer bag and place in the freezer. I do that all the time.
Me too I buy all the colors n cut up n freeze👍🤗
Amy I love that you take us with you all over Thank you as you are valued, appreciated & bring out the good in ppl! I’m in MI so you know about small towns & the lack of variety we get in our stores. My sister lives in FL & I’ve never been there as they have a summer home back this way but so happy you are happy in FL as well🙏🤗🫶🏻 Our Dr. office plays Christian music😁👍
I appreciate your kind words...they are very much appreciated 😊
You can store your veggies in a tall mason jar. Keeps forever
Wholly crap 8 marshmallows you got to get use to being closer to the stores you can go every week
Never did and we used 4 for one recipe :) im cooking for a crowd sometimes ..not just having a bag for s'mores :)
I grew small burpee cucumbers in my garden this year and yes, they are so crisp and flavorful!
The best price isn't necessarily the lowest. Quality food like fresh chicken breast, good quality ground beef, etc, has its own price points, and you can find sales but it's going to cost more as a baseline. Highly processed food like deli meat, hot dogs and processed chicken is full of preservatives, additives and chemicals - unhealthy as a diet mainstay.
Amy maybe you will run into Lynette Yoder..she shops here often. She just bought some tomatoes here and canned salsa. She shares a lot of good places in your area.
How cool was that pineapple machine! What a nice store! I know prunes are dried plums, like raisins are from grapes. 🍇❤
Please pray for my dad he's been in the hospital for a while his name is Paul
Still praying for him 🙏
Thanks for taking us shopping with you! I love to see new stores.
Morning Amy! There were dairy free Daiya brand pizzas on the bottom shelf, they are pretty good too! My kids don't like toppings so I just pick them off frozen to make it just cheese if they are out of the plain cheese ones!
Loving Florida Amy! I loved North Carolina Amy too but you seem so much more relaxed happy. 💕
Knishes are so good. My dad would make them when i was a kid. He would take mashed potatoes rolled into a ball. Smoosh it a little to flatten the top and bottom. Roll it in egg and bread crumbs and cook it in oil. Salt and pepper on it. So good
Wow Wow and more Wow, I have never seen so much fruit and vegetables of every conceivable kind in a shop. Here in the UK we have nothing like this and it is a joy to watch you looking.
Have you been in your local international food store that sell fruit and vegetables from different countries my nearest one is two buses away from me to far away
@@catherinebarlow3079 I am in the East of England and no I have never seen an international food store here.
Mom had me check corb when we bought it as im pickey and prefer white corn so we. Made sure to find some for me
We have always had the 2" faux wood blinds in our homes. We needed to replace our current home, so we just had the cellular shades installed. We went with the full blackout in a medium grey color. We LOVE them! Ours are all motorized, and my husband set them up on our Home Assistant so that they are on a schedule and open/close automatically every day on their own. They work super well at keeping the heat out of the house and truly blackout the room. Couldn't be happier.
Great. That's what i got and I love them
Hi Amy,
I think you did two great hauls for three family. Lots of fun foods. The prices weren’t too bad at store one but you did get some terrific deals at Aldi.
I had a wonderful time shopping with in both stores but first store I could have spent time looking around. I would also have had a full cart plus, lol!
Thanks so much.
Have a fantastic and blessed day.😊
Those plastic meat containers are great to keep diaper wipes in and keep in the car. Also I keep extra packets of Mayo, mustard, ketchup in from restaurants and keep them in the car plus some napkins, extra meds for the car. Or even little snacks in them. Kees them neat and tidy and easy to find when out and about or taking to the beach without having to take big bottles of that stuff. Also good to put serving size dog food or snacks in for traveling with animals.
Hi Amy Marzetti Salad dressings are great!! They are made here in Ohio.I Love the Country French,Apple dressing, and poppyseed dressings the best.Oh!! Italian, too.Lyatt Sandee from Ohio💜💜🙏😊
Amy - you know how they often put French translations on produce and all kinds of other products? Prune is the French word for plum. Pruneau is their word for prune (a dried plum).
Love your grocery hauls Amy. Your meals will change to fast and lighter because of the heat and not wanting to heat up your oven. It just makes a difference. The good thing about it is all your kids are old enough thst they can fix their own food so that's nice too ! Loved this Amy.
Trinidadian here, you can peel the breadfruit, cut it up into really tin slices and fry them like chips. They taste REALLY good with ketchup
Thank you for sharing this! This is why I love YT, so many great ideas from great people I'll never be able to meet.
Hello fellow Trini here. Love me some roasted breadfruit with stew chicken
Breadfruits are found mainly in the Caribbean. They have a unique taste and are a nutrient dense replacement for potatoes, rice or any other starchy side. We cream it like you do mashed potatoes or just boil with salt and have it with stew. You should try it one day when youre feeling adventurous 😂. It's good. So popular here in Barbados that it used to be given aways freely and is grown in almost every backyard. Now they're being sold around every corner. Peel the green skin off and cut out the "heart". Cook and enjoy.
We also fried them, like you do fried green plantain. Delicious...
@islabonita3550 yup absolutely delicious
Nice selection of groceries! My sister and I have noticed the store brands of mayo and salad dressing taste like they've added horseradish to it. Neither of us are fans, but the husband's love it! 😂
I just love how y'all are throwing yourself into your new home. Y'all are a great example of how to embrace change. The grocery haul was awesome.
You got to go with it otherwise it is stress and unhappiness.
When your lactose intolerant you can eat yogurt. It's not the same as milk because of how it's made. The probiotics are actually good for you. My doctor told me this and we've never had a problem eating it
Eggplant are yummy.. fry them in flour, salt and pepper.. or eggplant parm..❤❤
My ritual is Aldi & Walmart 🥰 I love making pizzas with the naan bread from Aldi. Have a super day 🌼
Ahhh you must live in my area now! You're at my favorite store, Detweilers! FYI use their produce quickly! Maybe I'll run into you one day! Welcome to the area!!
Maybe :) thank you
And I love the idea of trying exotic fruits with the kids!! ❤️
This vlog was great. We hope you have a fantastic day. ❤❤❤😊
Jackfruit is amazing! You can shred it like pulled pork! You can cook it like a pork loin and shred it up and make pulled "pork" sandwiches! I'm a vegetarian and I've learned a lot over the past year 😂😂 I'm not the judgey kind of vegetarian 🤣
We have breadfruit in the Caribbean. You can boil and then fry it to make chips. It's great riasted in the skin. You cab also make mashed "potatoes"with it etc etc. We make a dish called oil down with it also
Prunes are made from fresh plums. The same way rasins are from fresh grapes.
It was once customary in parts of Europe to call plums "fresh prunes" while Americans use "prune" for the dried version.
Slap your Mama!? "Don't slap your Mama" hahaha 🤣 and yes, you could totally eat breakfast on just the store samples!! That was a fun shopping adventure. Thanks for taking us along with you!
Love that you took us shopping with you. It’s very different than the other stores you use to shop at! Nice haul
Good morning sweet lady. Hope your day is great. God bless you and the family
Oh Amy love the fresh produce and compared to where live your prices are better. I am in love with the Pineapple machine what a great thing lol! Your Aldi is definitely better than mine. I hope in the heat you permanently keep cooler bags and Esky’s in the car they really do help with everything staying fresher and dont melt. Good Job Amy❤
Good evening Amy! That's a nice grocery haul. Mine is next week. Sure wish we had discount stores here. Thanks for sharing. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam 🌴❤🌴
There were daiya pizzas on the bottom. Wouldn’t those be dairy free?
It’s always fun to see inside other grocery stores, from what we have here in Australia. But we do have Costco. Prunes actually are plums dried it’s a special variety of plum.
Hi, I'm a kiwi and I also like to see what other countries supermarkets are like. We have one costco store here but it's over an hour drive from where I live so not practical for weekly shopping but at some point I'll go with my best friend who is a member just to see if it works for once a month shopping.
Good to see ya today
Be careful with all the sun you are getting! You can get a lot of skin damage very quickly if you have not been in the sun as much as you are in South Florida. A good night moisturizer for your face, ears, and upper body is strongly advised. Just a thought of caution from someone who knows from experience. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. I have been for the first time
In the future, go to Aldi's first, just a thought!😊
Love that first store u went to. Everything looked good and neat. Everyone please stay safe and blessed much love from San Antonio
I would love that store here in Alabama! All the fruits and veggies!!!
Good morning, The large Avocado is good just sliced with olive oil and fresh lime juice, salt and pepper. Tomato and Onion if you want. I once lived in South Florida in a grove of the large Fl. Avocados. Watermelon are grown where I live now. A lot of very nice tropical fruit is grown in Florida, some good some not so good in my opinion. But you should try the different ones. You never know you and your family may find your New favorite ones. 😊
You are lucky to be able to find dill pickle juice at the store! I've looked everywhere for it in Ohio. My best bet is Amazon. There are a lot of health benefits to drinking it. Blessings, Janell
Good morning everyone good morning Amy hope y'all have a fantastic day .💐💐💐💐💐
To find a ripe pineapple, look for pineapples that are more yellow/orange and smell the bottom. It should have a strong pineapple scent. That is how you know its ripe.
The strawberry are always gunna look poorly this time of year. Floridas strawberry season is in February so those are having to come from cali or up north. When strawberry season rolls around be prepared to by flats cause they are a huge kid hit cause they are way sweeter especially if they are plant city strawberries.
The new store is awesome.
🍍 To check if it’s ripe try gentle pulling one of the leafs at the top and if it comes out easily it’s ripe 🍍. Wow that’s a very large 🥑 avocado
Such good deals on produce ...At my Walmart we were out of small avocado's. So I bought a large one very delicious very buttery ....but the small ones are still my favorite
I love that detwilers will open that machine up and give me all the cores I want. I usually get one container full. It’s the mortin of Gods original design.
What do you do with the cores?
We put them in smoothies and slice them thinly and eat them. It’s great for pain relief. My 7 year old takes a core out of the fridges and eats it lol
That fresh produce looks amazing x
I’m near St Petersburg and sure do wish we had a store like the first one you went to. Such nice produce and variety! The big avocados are grown here. I have a tree in my backyard. They taste a little different than the small ones-lighter and the texture can be dryer. I prefer the small, ones but never buy them while our tree produces.
They have a Detweillers in Palmetto. I believe that is the closest one to you. I've heard it's headed north soon.
I was in the US years ago. I miss US supermarkets/stores❤ Thank you for bringing us along sister
My mama would make the best persimmon cookies. Wow! Amy, That store is fantastic.
That raw milk made my Wisconsin self so jealous!! You are SO lucky you have that available to you! Highly recommend A2 raw milk for your kids who have troubles. Your body can more easily break down those proteins vs A1 (conventional milk).
So the first ad that popped up when you were finishing at dittmers was an ad for Home Depot. Then right after you were doing the Lowes pickup order. Oh my goodness was busting a gut!!! So funny. Dittmers (sp?) looked great!! I’m about an hour south of amish country in Ohio and love doing a road trip to get all the yummies!! Your store looked wonderful! Interesting finds! How will you eat all that fruit without it going bad in the heat? Pineapple machine was cool! Stay cool! ❤
Lots of great looking food Amy. That first store looked amazing. Lots of good products. And of course you can’t beat ALDI.
Just an fyi..the cauliflower pizza crusts are great…the secret is to pop it in the oven. Cook for a few minutes then cook the other side for the same amount of time….then put the toppings on….❤ from 🇨🇦
both sides for a few minutes and then put your toppings on!
and the put your toppings on! ❤ from 🇨🇦
You can blanch and freeze that fresh broccoli. That’s an amazing produce store!
Sniff the bottom of the pineapple if you can smell pineapple/sweetness then it’s ripe.. you can also pull a leaf if it comes out without and pressure it’s ripe
THE LARGE AVOCADO IS A FLORIDA VARIETY
. I HAD A TREE IN MY OLD HOME PLACE. LOVE THEM. NEXT TIME WAIT UNTILL YOUR PAPAYA IS REALY -YELLOW-- THEN TRY ONE AGAIN.
Cactus are called Nopales and Bread Fruit are called Panas or Panapen in Spanish. I would have had a field day in that first store...
I also watch Jackie at Grocery Addict she does Aldi shop with me every Mondays, I love to see the pricing and then do my grocery lists for which store for that week, Walmart/Aldi.
We live in northern FL, but whenever we have the opportunity to go south we LOVE spending time at Detwiler's. They also have fantastic Deli and Bakery sections, plus I like buying the Walnut Creek brand of so many items. I just wish we had a branch up here.
I have reusable mesh produce bags that I use when I go to the market. I love them. They came in a variety of sizes. I bought them years ago on Amazon.
Amy have you ever made the broccoli 🥦 salad? Mayo, bacon, raisins, sunflower seeds, shredded cheese all mixed with raw broccoli. It’s delicious!!
I make this all the time! It's so good!
Try Aldi’s version of Dawn dish soap in the blue. Great item. I switched to it instead of Dawn.
Prunes is plums in french
Hi from paris
it is ok we go through that sometimes
Prunes are dried plums that will be why it's on the packet, we love prunes in the UK lol makes a wonderful desert called sticky toffee pudding....love your channel thank you for entertaining us.
The cactus is very popular in Mexican Cuisine.
I watch you everyday but I do miss your older posts. Since you moved you are just not the same! Still love ya though.
I'm sorry you think I've changed
.life definitely is different I have a new season of life now so change is expected..thankful to not stay the same all the time ❤️
Watched your video yesterday and don't know if this would be helpful. Since you you bought your corn in the husk, I cook my corn in the microwave 4-5 min., and do one or two at a time. Never boil water again.
You can make guacamole for days with that avocado 🥑 😂enjoy. Much ♥️ from California ♥️ ❤️ ✨️
I love Herrs Jalepino Kettle Chips. They are the best.
That store looks amazing! I don’t think you saw, but there were tongs to use for the samples!
Lol 😂 no I didn't
You might want to try Trader Joe’s for grocery shopping fun. Also, if you have a Sprouts near you, they have a variety of Daiya brand dairy items.
Morning Amy, the little avocados are called Hass avocados and they're from California the big avocados are call Florida avocados and they are from Florida
You totally need to try Rambutans they are delicious!
The Girard's Chinese Chicken Salad dressing on the bottom shelf in the triangular glass bottles is really yummy. Their champagne italian style of salad dressing is also good for salads or as a marinade on swordfish,etc. The slightly hirer price is worth it until you figure out how to recreate their recipes.
When they are a little brown they are sweeter.
Amy, what about making your own cauliflower pizzas with pizza sauce and veggies for your boys? Much cheaper and you could make 2 or 3 at a time.
Yes Jack Fruit lol it taste like buble gum but you can cook it like BBQ. Also over by the sea food there is a couple racks of discount fruit. I go there first.
I buy the flat bread at Aldi and make pizza. One is enough for the two of us with couple slices left.
Stick with Aldi!!
OH MY GOSH, I'm in Ft Worth Texas and I' eating those pretzel crisps in the Spicy Ranch flavor as I watch this!
So delicious
Yes! Loved the Detwiler’s trip! We don’t have one here. Such great stuff! Hope you go back again!
Make your son pizza on flat bread or wraps. I do that all the time for my husband. So good
Cactus is edible. The Spanish people eat it quite frequently. It's called Nopalitos, and kida tastes like green beans. At least it did to me.
Interesting thank you
STRAWBERRIES ARE BEST FROM Driscoll brand,Watsonville
,California. Florida occasionally are good depends on season.
The Vidalia onion and poppy seed dressing is delicious. Even if just on lettuce by itself. Reminds me of the Wos Wit dressing from back home in PA.
You have to try that sharp shopper place they to,d you about.
