  • One of our subscribers asked us to share a video about what we buy at the grocery store and to do an unpacking video after returning from the store. So, here's our first grocery shopping haul video after shopping at our local Palm Springs Walmart Super Center.
    Thanks for coming along and sharing the memories!

    I'm in constant "negotiations" with myself on what I eat and drink. I'll eat this so I can eat that later. I won't eat this because I'm going to have that later. One thing that has always worked best for me is practicing portion control. With portion control, I can eat/drink most of what I enjoy, within reason. There are a few things that I can live without that I have cut out completely but the rest I have just cut back on not out. Works for me...

  • @warriorempathshealingfromn5625

    I shop at my local Target Superstore, as it carries everything I need to live. The local Walmart is not a good store for me, they have police stationed there daily. I also get a bit overwhelmed with the noise and some of the antics of the customers. Target is just a block away and has a totally different vibe. The aisles are wider and the layout is such that no one aisle gets full of shoppers. The prices are about the same for what I purchase and a much more relaxed atmosphere. I no longer count calories, since being diagnosed with type II diabetes, I count carbs. I too have a sweet tooth even more than I did prior to my diagnosis and I found out that for me, foods with good old sugar doesn't affect me as much as the compound sugars from carbs. It's hard at times as I love pasta, but the pasta will spike my blood sugar way too high. I do eat ice cream and love it too.

    • @theretiredlifewithsteve
      @theretiredlifewithsteve  Před 2 lety +2

      Wow, I didn't know Target had super stores. Ours is further away and just has a tiny food section. I agree about the vibe though. That's one reason we shop so early. Most of the riff raff is usually still in bed, lol. :-) That's interesting about the carbs. I definitely need to eat less carbs too.

We're seniors and shop once a month for items we know will last a month and weekly for fruits and veggies. Our bills come to easily to $ 600.00 because we will in Canada in Ontario.

    Well that was kind of fun! I also shop at Walmart because it locally it is one of the largest stores and has such good prices. But boy are you right when you say that the inventory is a problem today. I have found that it's that way in all the stores in our area. They don't seem to be able to get the inventory like they used to. Nice seeing what you buy for groceries and fun to see that it's not so different than what the rest of us by. You two are both very health conscious when it comes to food and careful and I find that that's something unique today. I find that women are the worst, I think it's because they cooked for families and when they get older all of a sudden they're just cooking for themselves. But they have a tendency not to eat well or be aware of calories and portion size. I have many women friends who have put on $150 plus pounds after retirement just because they don't understand what true good nutrition is. You would think women would know better since they're cooking meals for families. Thanks I found that to be interesting! Have a great day guys

    I have also fallen in love with Palm Springs through your videos. I plan on returning to LA in 2026 (huge Marilyn fan & she would be 100 that year) & PS is on my to do list for sure.
    Is there a local bus service generally in PS?
    One thing fascinated me, (Jim, I'm also in the 'still wearing a mask club👍) you & Jim for your own shopping, do you cook for yourselves too? My husband of 30yrs would never be up for that, I thought it was amazing, i applaud you guys!
    Love your videos Steve & lovely to see Jim too.
    Stay safe xx

      Hi Shaney, yes we both do our own cooking too. Palm Springs has regular bus stops all over town so it's easy to get around without a car, or you can always call an Uber. Thanks for watching and sharing, xx

      Hi Mark, I'm glad to hear that and I agree it's pretty difficult to find many or any good retiree CZcams channels. Thanks for watching and I hope you get to retire here one day too! :-)

    I just found out how much I like frozen grapes. I cut my red grapes in half and put them in the freezer overnight. WOW ! I'm going to be eating these next week as a snack when we get in the 100˚ s.

    I love iceberg lettuce too, but people sure do like to make fun of that. My older sister says I may as well just drink water, but water doesn't crunch! I love it on sandwiches, too! OMG Crunch and Munch is my treat buy for myself every other week, too.

    A Fun Video! Loved the haul! We have the same Bag Ban here in New Jersey. Sometimes it's a pain in the neck when you don't go through self checkout and the customer (me lol) has to bag all the goodies, which sometimes holds up the line. 😂 Happy 4th of July to you Steve and Jim!! ❤

    • @theretiredlifewithsteve
      @theretiredlifewithsteve  Před 2 lety +2

      I never understood why they stopped doing the bagging just because the customer brings their own bags. I only do self checkout, but I know what you mean. :-) Happy 4th to you too Michele!

    Well Steve, you have often commented on the difference between your diets, now I can see that Jim the healthy eater. And you were not kidding when you said previously that you love ice-cream!
    Besides looking at the calories, you should also be mindful of the carbohydrates and sugars.
    The cost of everything has really increased, there isn't anything that hasn't gone up. I've noticed that many of the groceries I buy have almost doubled in price and some have. Plus the size of products has decreased as well. An example; I buy Starbucks coffee at the store, the bag size was 12oz now they are down to 7oz! The chicken and eggs have gone up so much due to the loss of poultry from the bird flu. And sadly prices are only going to continue to climb. Many families are struggling now, I don't know what they are going to do in the near future.
    Thanks for the video and I love how organized you guys are! I drive my husband crazy sometimes with my organization, a place for everything and everything in it's place! Lol!
    Have a safe and great 4th of July guys! Peace...

    • @theretiredlifewithsteve
      @theretiredlifewithsteve  Před 2 lety +1

      That's for sure Stacy! I feel bad for all the families on limited incomes who can no longer afford to buy what they need. I hope you guys have a great 4th too!

Like you I am a sweet tooth, but I do love veggies too. Keep your videos coming, so much fun to watch. Cheers guys, thanks for sharing.

    You guys are the best I was laughing through all the video 😂 it seems strange but it is fun to see what food other people buy and sometimes I get some good tips like the lactose free milk expiration date I didn’t know that and is good to know, at first i was team Jim because let’s face it his food is way healthier than yours Steve and he’s got all the food I like ,but then i see you like progresso soups and that’s my favorite thing to eat for years I been buying those soups and I never get tired of them I like them all!!!! I LOVE SOUPS!!! So now I’m more for team Steve !

    • @theretiredlifewithsteve

    Thank you for sharing. I was really surprised about the expense of the fruit. I guess I expected it to be cheaper in California since it is grown there. Also, I was impressed your kitchen is so neat and organized.

    • @theretiredlifewithsteve
      @theretiredlifewithsteve  Před 2 lety +1

      It is ironic and infuriating that it's grown here, but it all seems to be shipped out of state! Most of the produce we get here is awful and expensive. :-( Thanks Ellen.

    I teach in a jail, and I always wear my mask there. I also still wear it when running errands. My weekend summer job at a greenhouse is outside, so I do not wear a mask there. I haven't gotten sick in the last two years, and especially at the jail, it just seems safer, so I keep wearing it. So, I am happy to see I am not alone. This was a fun thing to watch. I have no idea why, but it was. I like watching everything you post :)

    • @theretiredlifewithsteve
      @theretiredlifewithsteve  Před 2 lety

      We'd probably all be better off if we wore masks all the time. I don't mind when I'm in crowds or in stores, but it might be difficult to wear them all day for a job. But whatever works, right? Thanks Jennifer! :-)

    @shannonfitz Před 2 lety

    Hello Steve and Jim! As much as I also enjoy ice cream, I'm thinking of buying a Ninja CREAMi ice cream maker. Might cost a little bit, but in the long run, could be cheaper than all the boxes, and containers, of the stuff we buy. And can make more healthy options, with different ingredients, when we want a snack. Who knows, even Jim might make ice cream too.
    Thank you for sharing your life with us!
    Great seeing, and hearing, from you Jim 🤗

    • @theretiredlifewithsteve
      @theretiredlifewithsteve  Před 2 lety +1

      The best ice cream I ever had was made by my uncle Bart, when I was a kid. It was just plain vanilla, but I've never had better since. I think it was an old fashioned contraption with a hand crank. I like your Ninja idea. Let us know how it goes. Thanks for sharing that with us Shannon!

    @tigger06 Před 2 lety

    Wow Steve..watching what you guys buy, I'm more in line with your haul. We have much in common food wise. Most of what you got is same as what I like as well. There's other things I've noticed too. An I just think it is so cool. I don't like broccoli like Jim, but I love Brussels sprouts. And didn't when I was a kid. I also ate everything in the world when I was young w/o gaining weight. We were also lucky like that. It ended in my 30s. So I have to be careful. I was kind of a jock in high school but not so much now. Lol Anyway, was fun to compare. 😉
