    My mom worked at Kmart and she would get to buy the subs at like 90% off at the end of her shift when the store was closing. We’d have them at least once a week. When I started driving, I’d visit my mom on her dinner break and we’d eat in the cafe. I loved the warm apple dumplings. I never thought back then that I’d really miss those days. 💔

    When I was pregnant I was craving these sandwiches and popcorn. I liked Kmart layaway too. My mother would get me everything I wanted and pay on it, and just before Christmas pay it off and take it home and wrap everything up and put it under the tree. Life is so hard now and different. Thanks for this recipe!

      She’s not cooking gourmet dishes or making anything fancy or something we don’t know about. At this point she’s just making frozen food stuff like wrapped 7 eleven sandwiches and what not. Sadly her subs will go down. Many are finding it dull. The old Sarah and her videos were
      The best. It’s all going downhill in terms of quality sadly. I was watching and then it clicked. I was like why am I watching someone make a sandwich again?

    I love Sara. I lost my mom 2 years, Sara reminds me a lot of my mother. I watch Sara’s videos mainly when I start missing my mom real bad, which is on a weekly basis. The comfort I get when I watch during those days where I’m missing mom so bad, is almost the same comfort I got from my mother. The fact she posts recipes is a win for me as well. I’ve tried so many of the recipes Sara posts and they are deeeeeelicious.

    I miss Kmart it was always such a fun place to go shopping. Loved all the blue light specials and what great deals they were. I remember the grills at Kmart and all the nice meals we got when we ate there. I remember the sub sandwiches with chips and soda. I also remember being able to purchase pizza by the slice and chili footlong hot dogs too. I remember buying school supplies at Kmart too. Was so much fun getting to look through all the neat pocket folders and rims of notebook paper. And getting to pick out new pair of school shoes too. Thanks for the great memory. Enjoyed your video. Love from Ky.

    I’m from Philadelphia so our K-Mart called them Hoagies of course! And I do remember K-Mart used bologna too and believe it or not, they were delicious:)
    We loved going to K-Mart when we were kids. We could walk, it was literally in front of our house. Our K-Mart had a great game room too with skee-ball, mini-bowling and a ton of bubble gum machines. We had so much fun there, especially when the gum ball machines broke and gave like 10 gum balls at a time😊

    We always took them to-go and that was our supper (along with chips & baked beans) after a long day of shopping for school clothes & supplies. These sandwiches were the best part of that entire day, and you recreated that moment in time for me!

    Kmart Icees ❤. My Grandfather would tell me to save my money for “a rainy a day” when I was little. On days it was pouring out, literally, I’d ask him if we could go to Kmart to spend some of it lol❤

    Kmart was my first job!! I loved their sub! The one near me just had a deli counter in the front as you walk out! Their was one just a few miles further down the road that had a full-service sit down style café.

    Nostalgic, I remember as a kid, when I would stay home from school, my grandparents would take me with them to Kmart, and my grandpa would take me to the food area, we would get nachos while waiting for my grandma to finish shopping. Love this :) brings back great memories, and this looks amazing!

    Those sandwiches were so good. My Mom and I would always get the simple nachos. Chips with the cheese, let it get semi soggy. Maaan! So good.

    Oh my, this really took me back. I shopped at Kmart from my childhood up until they started closing all the stores around me, such a shame. My son got to experience sitting in their cafe a few times. It's really sad to see all the long time stores closing like Sears, K-mart, etc. Your sub looks really good, I'm going to have to try that. Thanks for a great trip down memory lane.

    I love how authentic and unassuming your cooking channel is Sara. I mean, your kitchen and home aren't the tidiest, your clothing hasn't been laundered, and I'm assuming you're not ready to receive because you don't show yourself. But you still upload a video with all its warts on UA-cam. On top of that, you're not the least bit embarrassed to let the world know you used to shop at Kmart. I am a "sub" (lol) for life now. ❤

    When I was a child, Kmart sold these little buns with cooked ham, American cheese and shredded lettuce. I don't know what they called them, but they came either 2 or 3 to a package, and they were so good, very inexpensive too! I bought them with my allowance every time we went!

    Also I agree, there was something magical that happened when those sandwiches were wrapped in plastic wrap! It's like the cheese kind of melted and it just made the sandwich so much better. I don't get it but it's true what you're saying!

  • @clareshaughnessy2745

    American butties are amazing!! I know they aren’t exactly slimming, but the sheer amount of filling is incredible. Here in the UK sandwiches are a much meaner looking product, not stuffed to the gills like this delicious looking sub.
    (Butty, btw, is a word for sandwich used where I grew up near Liverpool, although it’s spreading round the UK now)

  • @loosidfreedom

    I’m in my 50’s I haven’t thought of this sandwich since I was 10. Literally first thing I thought after warm nostalgia was they used way too much mustard and there you were with the mustard! That’s when I knew I was remembering them correctly 😂 thank you for such a fun video!

    I loved those subs. The ham and cheese weren't bad either. They had two flavors of Icee drinks too, usually cola and red, no idea what the flavor actually was. My grandfather usually bought a big bag of the popcorn for us to share. Fond memories of K-mart.
