Before I even watch the video, I had to pause it right after you said: "My love/hate relationship with Walmart, let's discuss." To say that I have never been able to put into words how I feel about Walmart,and you just hit the nail on the head Danno!!!
Walmart has 25% of the grocery market. They should be getting the best quality and prices from their sheer buying power. If quality is inferior, that’s their choice.
Harry, very true under better times volume works, but we are not there any longer, so keep ing prices low is all about reduced quality imports. No trade does this.
you are absolutely right. My husband and I eat very little beef anymore and in Canada good beef starts around 24.00/lb, and it doesn't taste like beef. We bought a few pieces from a farmer friend and what a difference. It was good and tasted the way beef should and Walmart here in Canada sources a lot of Canadian products but they are one of the more expensive stores to shop at.
@@SharonAnnMenefee I've never bought meat from walmart. One time I was considering buying a chub pack of ground beef but I sorted the reviews from worst to best. There were 1 star reviews about people finding tiny pieces of cartilege or bone which has never happened to me EVER with the ground beef I buy. There was a review that said about 1/3 of the chub was LITERALLY PURE FAT. That put me off trying any of their other meat. Also a month or so ago I saw a video of two women in walmart showing packs of chicken with the weight and price on the label of course. But the weight was WAY less when she put it on the register scale and produce scale. That's just intentionally ripping people off! As for produce I only buy celery and shredded iceberg lettuce(for tacos). The quality of both is always excellent and it doesn't have time to sit around and go bad because it sells so fast. Neither of the two grocery stores I go to sells shredded lettuce so it's great that walmart does and the quality is great. For potatoes and onions winn dixie is the best place for me to go because they have 3# bags of onions and 5# of potatoes BOGO virtually every week, and the quality is good. Of course you are going to get one or two bad ones but that has always been the case for pre-bagged produce.
I do like Walmart too. The Great Value brand is very economical. The only thing I dont like, is that there are never enough checkers. I also shop at Aldi and a few other places to save money.
We raise a lot of our own fowl for meat and eggs. When they are free ranging, eating garden scraps and fermented grains thier fat is almost a neon yellow. It's from the beta carotin in the things they eat. Same thing happens with grass fed milk into butter- the butter is vibrant yellow. Egg yolks are effected by the same thing- the more natural diet the chickens have, the more yellow/gold the yolk is. As someone else mentioned, it can be faked with certain feeds or flowers.
Wal mart doesn’t have free range meat though. Perdue chicken is yellow because they feed them merrigolds and things like that since they’re free range but wal mart doesn’t have that. Lots of your meat now is coming from other countries which is completely unsafe. The quality in most meat now is disgusting
Hi Danno and Jess Walmart’s produce is so bad I started buying my produce at my local farmers market. Today I was totally shocked to find out much of the produce was from Mexico and other Countries! I don’t want my produce from anywhere else, I want locally sourced produce. When I questioned this, I was told it’s because so much of the produce isn’t available locally year round. Everything that was available was in season. So the answer I was given made no sense.
@@gma1343you will be surprised how many people actually never think about it. Farmers markets usually have very few to none of the actual people who grow things, but they are popular, so I'm sure participation is not free. Edit.
There was a great expose' about how so many farmers market people were buying their produce from big manufacturers and reselling it as home grown. I saw it on TV and had no way to save it. It was eye opening though.
@@user-wj1xr8nn7tit's not where it's made, it's about whom they make it for. A dress made for Walmart would be very different from a dress made for Belk (as an example), but it's possible it's made at the same factory. That dress may even look similar, but the fabric, accessories like a zipper or buttons, cut and patterns will be different. Cotton is more expensive than polyester under any name. Edit.
your grandparents are right. It is the feed. Slimy is one thing but yellow is another. Tyson chicken is another brand that had a lot of yellow on their chicken espeicially if the chickens are fed corn. You know if you feed a baby a lot of carrots their skin starts to turn a twinge of orange?Well the same for chicken. Actually the really white chickens after they are killed are bleached so they have a lovely white skin. That is a fact that came from a chicken plant. They are dipped in boiling water to remove feathers and another dip in the bleach to make their skin white.
For many years I've used the GV dish washing detergent that comes in the large jug with a handle. I am pretty sure it was Dawn, packaged for Walmart. It was half the price of the name brand, and very good. The last 2 bottles I've had, though, the liquid is very thin and barely gives any suds. The GV toilet paper that I also depended on has become so downsized/downgraded that I will no longer buy it either. I live alone and easily go through 2 rolls per week. The whole "bale" of 12 rolls weighs practically nothing. I'm going to go with a son to Costco for these items.
My husband and I both noticed the produce was terrible at Walmart starting in 2020. It was fine to even tolerable before then but sometime in 2020 everything we bought, we returned, and eventually stopped buying produce there at all.
😆🤣Thanks for the belly laughs Danno! These are my opinions too. WM is offering some great low prices on a lot of ftuff! But, fresh meat and produce is not the best.....okay well more like crap. I got to WM and ALDI each week and I buy the fresh stuff at ALDI, and everything else I get from WM. They do have great prices on coffee, dairy, cereal, canned goods and so on. Thanks for the upcoming shop at Target, excited for that. I don't buy groceries there and am curious about their prices. I actually avoid Target because I have never been inside a Target and been able to resist buying something I shouldn't. I LOVE Target....too much Have a great day y'all! God bless America!!😄
The Walmarts in my area has trash fruit & vegetables. Meijers fruits and vegetables are fresh here. Stopped buying their meat a few years ago. It is too expensive.
I like the GV Sourdough bread and their bagels. Most of the GV bands that I've tried are as good as or better than name brands ... canned fruit, canned meats, Greek yogurt, chips and some crackers, butter, cheese. I do not buy their meat. Ever. I had a bad experience and they refused to refund, even though I paid cash (they wanted me to "pick out another package" --- it was a chuck roast.) Would not even offer me a gift card. I don't buy a lot of produce there, but when I do, it's good.
My wallmart in kentucky dropped the pric😅e of Keystone 28 oz chicken to $3.50 expiration 29! There were only 3 left, so I grabbed them. The beef is still $9.98.
Walmart has never been cheaper overall. Other stores always have sales. A few years ago, coupons were still big, so it was way cheaper to shop at so-called expensive stores, and it's still true these days. They always have a better selection, better quality and better prices if you know where and when to buy. In terms of produce, their organic salad mix is five for a pound, radishes usually look much better than in other places. Organic milk and heavy cream are also cheaper there. I think it's the whole list unless it's a clearance (not on produce.)
I like the lightly salted ones. Not as greasy as Lay's. But lately, they've only had the wavy ones. The GV lightly salted tortilla chips are good, too. Their cheese puffs are terrible! All salt, no cheese flavor.
@@danniemcdonald7675 what I’m saying is they completely changed the packaging along with the quality. Their Mexican Chili chips were great and only cost 1.98 for a big bag.. now they’re gone.. so goes the good times:))
It's not just Walmart. Applebee's was terrible. Last 2x there, the quality went noticeably down. Spent $54 on 3 dishes...ribs wings and app tray. Dry, horrible... prolly fried twice. And I went there cause I thought outback would be too expensive. At this point I'm over the chains, I'm looking for go to, local owned restaurants. They want to charge higher prices...then make the damn food delicious. Ffs.
Hi, Danno and Jess 😊. I love ALDI 100% grass feed beef. They had it on sale for $3.99 Lb. I bought a bag of fresh dark meat chicken 10 lbs and boiled it and it made no broth like other stores did. So never bought meat again at Walmart.
I prefer grain fed beef myself. Grass fed seems to just make the beef more expensive for questionable benefits. You will see people talk about grass fed beef having more omega 3, but beef has almost no omega 3 either way, so there is no real benefit there. You would need to eat 100lbs of beef to get the same amount of omega 3 as you would get from 1 pound of salmon. When I want omega 3, I eat salmon. When I want to eat tasty beef, I eat grain fed beef. The grass fed beef seems like a waste of money.
@@richardyao9012 $3.99 is cheaper than reg ground beef. That’s why I bought it at Aldi. You should try it just once. Best I ever had. Reg ground beef here is $5 a lb so it was $1 cheaper to buy the grass feed beef.
Been eating less and less meats and more homemade soups, homemade breads, lentils, beans, rice and vegetables. Mostly meat is just too expensive and i only buy them at markdowns and freeze them.....but not from Wal-Mart.
Danno, I agree I'm very displeased with Walmart. They become a bunch of weasels. Sam's club is a little better when I'm looking for bulk. I prefer to go to H-E-B in Austin. Costco that's a different story might be better products but it's a lot more expensive. We have another grocer called H Mart its an Asian market the produce is really good it's fresh if it ain't fresh they don't put it out. You get what you pay for. You do good work thanks for your show I really enjoy watching you.
We first went to an Hmart December '23 after many, many years to look for a Christmas present tea pot. We got the teapot inexpensively enough that we bought some tea too. It was right before Christmas and busy, busy, busy so didn't do too much extra looking. We looked at price for different products along the aisles we traveled. It was interesting because some stuff seemed very right priced, a lot of stuff was mighty right unfamiliar, typical American product ran expensive, and they clearly had multiple qualities of product on the shelf (and prices) of stuff in multiple categories.
Greetings from North Carolina! Hope you’re keeping cool in this heat wave! I have to agree with your love- hate relationship with Walmart. I utilize their home delivery service. Saying that I chose very carefully what I have delivered. I mostly have the basics- can goods, certain cleaning supplies, paper products and some fresh vegetables. I save time and energy with their delivery service, that way I can bargain shop and pick up what wasn’t available at Walmart. I don’t buy meat but I do buy packaged lunch meat. The prices in our area are far too expensive and not many shoppers will have meat in their carts. Not long ago, a $100. would buy nearly a full buggy. Now the same buggy will cost double. So I buy what I know is a better deal and then I head over to the next grocery. Fresh vegetables are touch and go at any grocery at any given time. Best place to go I my opinion is a farmers market or grow your own. 👊🏻 keep finding those bargains! Keep stocking up! It better to be prepared and not need it then to need it and not have it in your pantry.
Favorite Great Value products are : frozen peas and carrots, canned green beans, protein bars, movie 🍿 theater popcorn, Strawberry Awake cereal, instant lemon iced tea mix and the butter. Its true the bread 🍞 is trash.
Up here in Canada the meat, vegetables, fruits are bad bad bad. The great value brand is the absolute worse house brand ever sold in a grocery store. I never shop there anymore.
I've purchased the grass-fed beef at Walmart that comes pre-packaged and wagyu beef that comes pre-packaged and it's been very good but I haven't bought it in about 6 months there
I think that's a little dramatic... I but meat from Walmart and never had a problem....prices high yes...but like you say prices are high everywhere... I do agree produce is not the best ..never had a problem with the potatoes either
I generally buy only shelf stable foods at Walmart. They have the best prices. The yellow in the chicken may be a result of the feed. Some farmers feed yellow marigolds to chicken to make them look yellow. To get orange yolks, others use orange marigolds in their feed.
Our fruits and vegetables look terrible too at Walmart stores in West Tennessee I don't buy any of the fresh chicken, it looks awful too! I stick with the bags of frozen chicken. I also get the frozen onions and frozen mushrooms, vegetables and fruits. The fresh just don't look good. I totally agree with you.
If you don't trim the yellow fat off chicken, then the package weight is still good, but the consumer gets less actual meat. It's CHEATING corporate greed. Walmart is sourcing canned corn from Thailand now, and it's definitely different, I guess the cultivars grown there are far firmer.
I was there today, and I was very upset over so many prices. Walmart's frozen cauliflower and broccoli, esp., the broccoli, are not bad, esp for the price. I use them a lot. Kroger was very low in stock all around the store. I will keep monitoring.
I used to buy Great Value brand cheese but have stopped since slices seemed more like plastic then cheese. Changed texture about 3 months ago. Does taste the same either.
My Walmart trips are becoming fewer and farther apart. There are some things I will still buy there, but not produce or meats. I'm even now concerned with their dairy. We have started buying locally farm fresh grain-fed chicken eggs, produce from our Farmer's Mkt, and now looking at grass-fed beef options. Going to start up my garden again too. All the garbage that is sold in ALL stores is too full of artificial poison. I wish I could afford Publix. Their prices are just too high for my budget, but their BOGO's are usually good.
I was at Wal-Mart today and couldn't believe it. They must have gotten a HUGE shipment in because the aisles were so full I could barely get my cart through. I dont know about the food area. I was only in the hardware department. But I did see some pallets of canned food sitting back there too.
I worked for then a few years ago they changed up who they we're buying thier meat from some of thier hamburger cane in pre-packaged and black .Theres no telling how much hamburger we had to dispose of .
We pay $2.59 a gallon for milk at Market Basket. It's $3.13 at Walmart a 1/4 mile away. I don't buy milk at Walmart. I never buy meat at Walmart. Our produce at Walmart is hit or miss. Just give it a good check over. I have certain things i do buy weekly at Walmart like yogurt and Jello pudding cups, apple juice ect..
Around here, Walmart brand milk and most dairy products are the cheapest around; notbsure about butter though. You can't guarantee what you will find on the shelf on any given day at and given time however.
Once upon a time, I bought some there. I swear to God that they left so much fat and skin on them (tucked under the meaty part of it and not visible through the wrapping) just to add weight to the package. They also had a lot more veins (they look like tubes they were so thick) then any other store I bought them from.
I quit buying Walmart meats and buy from Hy-Vee (1 block away, a little more expensive but I buy on sale as soon as the store opens; but the meats are decent). Growing as much vegetables as I possibly can in my upstairs apartment with a little deck. I have a container garden with containers on every single stair leading up to my deck.
I was told but a sams meat dept employee years ago that the quality of meat from sams is much better than walmart. Now that was years ago, what's happening in the food chain these days, you just don't know what's wrong with it.
The only thing that is a no for me at Walmart is meat. They are overpriced and the cuts are crap. Our produce at my store is great now even though it used to suck and the Avocados here are beautiful. I love Aldi but don't know where you get the idea that they are locally sourced. Maybe your Aldi is different. Neither store has meat cutters. It is all prepackaged, but Aldi does it better in my opinion.
@@michaelharry8341 You would have to take a picture to convince me because Aldi does not have butcher shop areas. Now if it is a converted Winn- Dixie I could accept that.
I never buy meat at Walmart. I rarely buy produce there, but I do occasionally. I generally prefer shopping at Target and find their prices are really about the same. I enjoy the coupons and savings available on the Target app
Beta Carotene. " Mexico feeds chickens yellow flowers too, Perdue uses a chicken feed made with marigolds, corn fed also creates yellow hues, free range chickens are yellow. " That's what I found lol. BUT....have you seen the Sun story on Walmart canned corn? Some Walmarts are selling canned corn with different labels, not picked same day, made in Thailand, double calories from 45 to 90 per serving and the big thing...the Prop 65 warning label is on the can!!! Walmart said it's because they needed more suppliers to keep up with demand. Uh, nope
Havnt been able to find gv pork n beans in the big cans for months. Nothing but BUSHS, and i prefer my own baked beans. I dont skimp on the bacon and bacon grease😂
This video was my first in the new house last night. If the lady that lived here wasn’t in her mid 80s I could have seen her as an Adventures with Danno subscriber. I think she bought stuff forgetting she had more in the basement but there are a few items where she did follow the buy up the deals when you see them. I have too much stuff to stock up on anything right now making last night a Cabernet rant to drink the box left for me by her sons. Walmart meat (80/20 ground beef)is definitely not as good as Aldi and like you said Walmart produce is crappy. I usually buy all my produce at Kroger. Canned goods are usually Kroger things I stocked up on. Moving my stash I was able to inventory my Campbell’s and Progresso. I don’t care for Great Value soup and found some in my pantry that just got donated to SVDP.
My daughter in Oklahoma told me to check all Walmart meat with a magnet. I just stopped buying meat there, so I haven't done that. Maybe Dano can check that out!
@@janedowasjanedow Metal? I don't know, but I do know their meat has gotten nasty. I'll go to a butcher shop where I know I'll get only meat, with nothing added! Wouldn't it be weird to have Dano check it out and find the magnet sticks??!!
@@xo2quilt can I ask why do you think it could possibly stick? What's the chemistry behind it? When you expect something, you know the reasons behind it, not old wife's tales.
We always put the meat back. We do not buy meat there anymore. We only buy Purdue chicken and it is not usually from Walmart. Thankfully we have local farmers and local grocery. We have had issues with the cereal, potatoes and the rubber corn. Yuck! Food is too expensive to be that bad. Great show.
I quit buying all "fresh" meat from Walmart about ten years ago. We had bought fresh salmon many times with no issues. Then we bought some that was just nasty! It was so bad I closely read the fine print on the wrapper, product of China. I know most of Walmart's products come from there but no more fresh meat. I buy those things from Publix.
I don’t buy Tyson brands I don’t care which store it’s in.

You will see people talk about grass fed beef having more omega 3, but beef has almost no omega 3 either way, so there is no real benefit there. You would need to eat 100lbs of beef to get the same amount of omega 3 as you would get from 1 pound of salmon. When I want omega 3, I eat salmon. When I want to eat tasty beef, I eat grain fed beef. The grass fed beef seems like a waste of money.
@@richardyao9012 $3.99 is cheaper than reg ground beef. That’s why I bought it at Aldi. You should try it just once. Best I ever had. Reg ground beef here is $5 a lb so it was $1 cheaper to buy the grass feed beef.
Been eating less and less meats and more homemade soups, homemade breads, lentils, beans, rice and vegetables. Mostly meat is just too expensive and i only buy them at markdowns and freeze them.....but not from Wal-Mart.
I have friends in NC and they ONLY BUY the GV products. With EVERYTHING. Only GV. Strangest thing
Walmart is way overpriced on canning jars also. I can buy them next door at Menards for half the price - De Pere WI
Danno, I agree I'm very displeased with Walmart. They become a bunch of weasels. Sam's club is a little better when I'm looking for bulk. I prefer to go to H-E-B in Austin. Costco that's a different story might be better products but it's a lot more expensive. We have another grocer called H Mart its an Asian market the produce is really good it's fresh if it ain't fresh they don't put it out. You get what you pay for. You do good work thanks for your show I really enjoy watching you.
H Mart is awesome!
We first went to an Hmart December '23 after many, many years to look for a Christmas present tea pot. We got the teapot inexpensively enough that we bought some tea too. It was right before Christmas and busy, busy, busy so didn't do too much extra looking. We looked at price for different products along the aisles we traveled. It was interesting because some stuff seemed very right priced, a lot of stuff was mighty right unfamiliar, typical American product ran expensive, and they clearly had multiple qualities of product on the shelf (and prices) of stuff in multiple categories.
Greetings from North Carolina!
Hope you’re keeping cool in this heat wave!
I have to agree with your love- hate relationship with Walmart. I utilize their home delivery service. Saying that I chose very carefully what I have delivered. I mostly have the basics- can goods, certain cleaning supplies, paper products and some fresh vegetables. I save time and energy with their delivery service, that way I can bargain shop and pick up what wasn’t available at Walmart. I don’t buy meat but I do buy packaged lunch meat. The prices in our area are far too expensive and not many shoppers will have meat in their carts. Not long ago, a $100. would buy nearly a full buggy. Now the same buggy will cost double. So I buy what I know is a better deal and then I head over to the next grocery. Fresh vegetables are touch and go at any grocery at any given time. Best place to go I my opinion is a farmers market or grow your own.
👊🏻 keep finding those bargains!
Keep stocking up! It better to be prepared and not need it then to need it and not have it in your pantry.
North west Missouri has the samme issues at walmart. Our prices are our ridiculously high
Favorite Great Value products are : frozen peas and carrots, canned green beans, protein bars, movie 🍿 theater popcorn, Strawberry Awake cereal, instant lemon iced tea mix and the butter. Its true the bread 🍞 is trash.
Up here in Canada the meat, vegetables, fruits are bad bad bad. The great value brand is the absolute worse house brand ever sold in a grocery store. I never shop there anymore.
My love/hate/love relationship is with Kroger.
If you ha e a local meat store start buy it there.
I've purchased the grass-fed beef at Walmart that comes pre-packaged and wagyu beef that comes pre-packaged and it's been very good but I haven't bought it in about 6 months there
Ageee 100%. I also live in Cinti Ohio and Wal-Mart is trash for food. Love the clothing and stuff but hard no for most groceries.
True
My Walmart is not like that at all. It’s actually really good.
Sunbeam makes Walmart bread
I think that's a little dramatic... I but meat from Walmart and never had a problem....prices high yes...but like you say prices are high everywhere... I do agree produce is not the best ..never had a problem with the potatoes either
I generally buy only shelf stable foods at Walmart. They have the best prices. The yellow in the chicken may be a result of the feed. Some farmers feed yellow marigolds to chicken to make them look yellow. To get orange yolks, others use orange marigolds in their feed.
Our fruits and vegetables look terrible too at Walmart stores in West Tennessee I don't buy any of the fresh chicken, it looks awful too! I stick with the bags of frozen chicken. I also get the frozen onions and frozen mushrooms, vegetables and fruits. The fresh just don't look good. I totally agree with you.
Can you please show us a WalMart neighborhood market store to see if produce quality is better there.
Mine is here in N TX.
I don't buy meat or vegetables and fruit from Walmart. I only buy name brand items.😮
If you don't trim the yellow fat off chicken, then the package weight is still good, but the consumer gets less actual meat. It's CHEATING corporate greed. Walmart is sourcing canned corn from Thailand now, and it's definitely different, I guess the cultivars grown there are far firmer.
I was there today, and I was very upset over so many prices. Walmart's frozen cauliflower and broccoli, esp., the broccoli, are not bad, esp for the price. I use them a lot.
Kroger was very low in stock all around the store. I will keep monitoring.
I don't like the meat at my Walmart.
Most stores are source direct....truck is the warehouse.... Walmart use distribution centers....time you get it it is old
I used to buy Great Value brand cheese but have stopped since slices seemed more like plastic then cheese. Changed texture about 3 months ago. Does taste the same either.
Thanks Danno
I never buy their chicken anymore, had to throw half of the chicken breast I bought a while back cause it looked stringy and I said never again
Their potatoes are awful. Smells like rotten potatoes in that aisle.
My Walmart trips are becoming fewer and farther apart. There are some things I will still buy there, but not produce or meats. I'm even now concerned with their dairy. We have started buying locally farm fresh grain-fed chicken eggs, produce from our Farmer's Mkt, and now looking at grass-fed beef options. Going to start up my garden again too. All the garbage that is sold in ALL stores is too full of artificial poison. I wish I could afford Publix. Their prices are just too high for my budget, but their BOGO's are usually good.
I was at Wal-Mart today and couldn't believe it. They must have gotten a HUGE shipment in because the aisles were so full I could barely get my cart through. I dont know about the food area. I was only in the hardware department. But I did see some pallets of canned food sitting back there too.
I worked for then a few years ago they changed up who they we're buying thier meat from some of thier hamburger cane in pre-packaged and black .Theres no telling how much hamburger we had to dispose of .
Ha I never buy meats at Walmart!
Walmart Delivered fresh corn that was moldy !
We pay $2.59 a gallon for milk at Market Basket. It's $3.13 at Walmart a 1/4 mile away. I don't buy milk at Walmart. I never buy meat at Walmart. Our produce at Walmart is hit or miss. Just give it a good check over. I have certain things i do buy weekly at Walmart like yogurt and Jello pudding cups, apple juice ect..
Around here, Walmart brand milk and most dairy products are the cheapest around; notbsure about butter though. You can't guarantee what you will find on the shelf on any given day at and given time however.
I always buy great value cream of mushroom soup for cooking and their pie crust. Never produce or meats.
The Great Value chicken breasts in the bag are absolutely disgusting!
Once upon a time, I bought some there. I swear to God that they left so much fat and skin on them (tucked under the meaty part of it and not visible through the wrapping) just to add weight to the package. They also had a lot more veins (they look like tubes they were so thick) then any other store I bought them from.
I quit buying Walmart meats and buy from Hy-Vee (1 block away, a little more expensive but I buy on sale as soon as the store opens; but the meats are decent). Growing as much vegetables as I possibly can in my upstairs apartment with a little deck. I have a container garden with containers on every single stair leading up to my deck.
I agree...I buy fruits/ veg at Sprouts...meat, kroger or Sams.
Wal Mart French bread is good. For $1.
Has HFCS
Haven’t had too much issue with produce and meat at Walmart, but I usually buy that stuff at Fred Meyer(Kroger store)
I never buy meat there
Although
I “use” to but not now
Target hell no… their DEI and other ideologies don’t work for me.
What’s DEI?
I have yet to see any guys in the women's restroom
Marg, me either. Because I won't shop there.
@user-wj1xr8nn7t well Wally World is not getting my business.
@@MargDBXmay want to Google DEI
I was told but a sams meat dept employee years ago that the quality of meat from sams is much better than walmart. Now that was years ago, what's happening in the food chain these days, you just don't know what's wrong with it.
The only thing that is a no for me at Walmart is meat. They are overpriced and the cuts are crap. Our produce at my store is great now even though it used to suck and the Avocados here are beautiful. I love Aldi but don't know where you get the idea that they are locally sourced. Maybe your Aldi is different. Neither store has meat cutters. It is all prepackaged, but Aldi does it better in my opinion.
@@michaelharry8341 You would have to take a picture to convince me because Aldi does not have butcher shop areas. Now if it is a converted Winn- Dixie I could accept that.
Ive bought meat at wallmart a couple times and its pretty nasty. Nothings right about it.....color, smell, texture or taste.
I never buy meat at Walmart. I rarely buy produce there, but I do occasionally. I generally prefer shopping at Target and find their prices are really about the same. I enjoy the coupons and savings available on the Target app
Beta Carotene. " Mexico feeds chickens yellow flowers too, Perdue uses a chicken feed made with marigolds, corn fed also creates yellow hues, free range chickens are yellow. " That's what I found lol.
BUT....have you seen the Sun story on Walmart canned corn? Some Walmarts are selling canned corn with different labels, not picked same day, made in Thailand, double calories from 45 to 90 per serving and the big thing...the Prop 65 warning label is on the can!!!
Walmart said it's because they needed more suppliers to keep up with demand. Uh, nope
It is because the corn is GMO and sprayed with glyphisate or even 2,4D
Don't be dissing my Walmart 🤛🤛🤛🤛🤛🤛🤛🤛🤛🤛
The meat at Sams is better.
Freshfield Farms in Jacksonville & definitely worth the 35 min. drive for meat & produce. Price & quality superb.
Walmarts frozen veggies are pretty good. I use them in my dogs food when we don't have anything fresh
Havnt been able to find gv pork n beans in the big cans for months.
Nothing but BUSHS, and i prefer my own baked beans.
I dont skimp on the bacon and bacon grease😂
I only buy meats from Wal-Mart if I can't get to a different store. I usually buy my meats from Food Lion.
TY
Danno
Glad Walmart isn't here in the UK though they did buyout Asda at 1 point
This video was my first in the new house last night. If the lady that lived here wasn’t in her mid 80s I could have seen her as an Adventures with Danno subscriber. I think she bought stuff forgetting she had more in the basement but there are a few items where she did follow the buy up the deals when you see them. I have too much stuff to stock up on anything right now making last night a Cabernet rant to drink the box left for me by her sons.
Walmart meat (80/20 ground beef)is definitely not as good as Aldi and like you said Walmart produce is crappy. I usually buy all my produce at Kroger. Canned goods are usually Kroger things I stocked up on. Moving my stash I was able to inventory my Campbell’s and Progresso. I don’t care for Great Value soup and found some in my pantry that just got donated to SVDP.
I would never pay $12.00,a pound for their crappy meat.
My daughter in Oklahoma told me to check all Walmart meat with a magnet. I just stopped buying meat there, so I haven't done that. Maybe Dano can check that out!
😮 I am taking a magnet with me next time just to find out! I don't buy it, but that is interesting and to be honest horrifying!
What's supposed to be found? A magnet attracts iron. In theory, red meat contains iron, but I don't think it's enough to stick to a magnet. Edit.
@@janedowasjanedow Metal? I don't know, but I do know their meat has gotten nasty. I'll go to a butcher shop where I know I'll get only meat, with nothing added! Wouldn't it be weird to have Dano check it out and find the magnet sticks??!!
@@xo2quilt can I ask why do you think it could possibly stick? What's the chemistry behind it? When you expect something, you know the reasons behind it, not old wife's tales.
I don't buy meat there. I actually buy less and less there. Price and quality are better elsewhere. Aldi, BJs get most of my business.
NO chicken for me
😂
Meijer only
Sometimes Kroger
we call that skinny yellow chicken
We always put the meat back. We do not buy meat there anymore. We only buy Purdue chicken and it is not usually from Walmart. Thankfully we have local farmers and local grocery. We have had issues with the cereal, potatoes and the rubber corn. Yuck! Food is too expensive to be that bad. Great show.
I get pick up orders without meat or vegetables. The rest of the pantry items I buy are fine.
I quit buying all "fresh" meat from Walmart about ten years ago. We had bought fresh salmon many times with no issues. Then we bought some that was just nasty! It was so bad I closely read the fine print on the wrapper, product of China. I know most of Walmart's products come from there but no more fresh meat. I buy those things from Publix.
