  • I've been reading the comments lately and seen a big demand for budget grocery and food hauls. So I took a trip to Dollar Tree on the northside of chicago and picked up a ton of healthy'ish food items at rock bottom prices. If you want to see more videos like this, and maybe some budget recipes, please let us know! Mad love..Bobby, Dessi, Rose, and Art! XOXO

    I love the premise of this video. Just because the dollar tree may be the only place a family can afford to buy groceries doesn't mean they don't have the right to care about the foods that they are putting in their bodies. Everyone deserves dignity and respect, no matter where you shop.

    As someone who has eaten the fish from DT on multiple occasions, it tastes just fine. Videos like this aren't just important for those on a budget, many people live in food deserts. They don't have access to traditional grocery stores, they have access to dollar stores. Normalizing the consumption of food from places like the DT is incredibly important, especially with how many people are facing unemployment. Shopping in bulk is more cost effective but sometimes you literally only have $5 to spend.

      I literally had already checked through in the check out line when the woman behind me said she had gotten the product and it had shards of glass in it! She probably was bs or didn't understand large grain salt but I had them take it off! I do shop at $1 stores but leery as I do it. But there are some great products in there. Good place for your can food back-ups! I used to get a great canned fish there that I fed to my cat and dogs. I tasted it and it was good and likely better than tuna! It even still had skins on and looked like fish! (Not sardines or anything but regular fish) ps. Can't find it anymore.

      @@ctmom2114 But you assume that everyone lives near an Aldi or that everyone has access to those prices. While yes, many of us do, there are things like food deserts and to act as if they don't exist is doing no justice for those living that life every day. The same way that someone may work multiple jobs to take care of their family and/or have to take the bus to get to the store - everyone has the same number of hours in the day, but not everyone has the luxury to spend those hours the same way. I'm blessed to be in the position I am now but when I was a single mom with two children, no license, and living in the middle of nowhere because it was the only place I could afford to live - these things were luxuries. If I couldn't buy it at the small gas station by my house or have a friend deliver it - I couldn't have it.
      To be clear, this isn't to knock you for voicing your point of view here. I just want to provide some insight into what people may be going through that don't afford them even the luxury of paying .95/lb for chicken at Aldi. It is a privilege even when it doesn't feel as though it is one

I also was drinking tap water (chlorine), and swimming in chlorine, a year ago my symptoms started. To make a long story short I caused myself a big problem which set off a series of complaints and itching skin numerous doctor calls the list of ailments ranged from foggy brain, double vision, and itchy skin with a rash that was driving me mad. , After much study I realized I had a systemic yeast infection and was dying. I took this on and have changed my lifestyle from the water I drink to taking probiotics, cut sugar (during this year of misery I craved sugar), and am working very hard at getting balance in my life starting with my PH, and find your suggestions so helpful.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for this! I was at the point where it was hard for me, because I do value your knowledge and time/effort to make these videos, but I was starting to feel like a very bad mom. There are many products that I buy because, although they are not 'best in class / buy all day long', they should still be classed as a 'good choice' and you normally say 'I would not buy this'. And with this video you have actually said 'although not the best, this is a great option and you would buy it.' This is so important to people like me who have to choose the couple items to really choose to buy Organic/Non-Gmo/Grass Fed-Finished and then what is OK to buy because, although not the best, they are an OK option. Your opinions here and this video have kinda restored my sanity back to not feeling like I needed to All or Nothing when it came to healthy / healthier options. Thank you again!

    Great that you've reviewed this store for those of us who don't have easy access to the Sam's, Costco's & Aldi stores. I'm a health advocate/gardener& have been circulating you videos. The reality is that DT, Family Dollar, Dollar General items often play a big portion of folk's food shopping budget in urban areas.
    Now that I'm living in a smaller S. Arkansas town, I get my Coconut Oil, Himalayan Sea Salt, ACV, Garlic, Onion Powder, other spices w/o MSG, mustards & sometimes coconut milk from Dollar Tree. It's true, watching those product ingredients is key. Our DT here also stock the best frozen vegetables...a wonderful stir-fry mix w/ peppers & onions, broccoli mix, blueberries, carrots, etc. It's helpful for everyone's budget.

    I went to my local supermarket yesterday and took a look at Crisco oil. The label said vegetable oil and when I looked at the ingredients, it listed only soybean oil. I shudder to think of all the nutritional damage that my parents and grandparents did to themselves before they had such food knowledge. As well as myself, since I only started learning about this two years ago. I only wish we had been this enlightened about food earlier.

    • @BobbyParrish

    • @justjosie8963
      @justjosie8963 4 роки тому +16

      I would gander a guess that Crisco oil was NOT soybean oil back then! Soybean oil invaded more recently but not as recently as the destruction of large acreages of rain forest to grow palm.😥
      Nothing wrong with bringing in certain exports a country is known for but something DEEPLY DISTURBING about jamming a cargo plane full of live chickens to a far away land, with a poor reputation against animals, who then process them and ship back to us. Or chopping down beautiful life sustaining rain forest to create a palm oil trade. Meet the Globalist elite.😤

    • @carolcremer6235
      @carolcremer6235 4 роки тому +10

      Don't think you need to worry so much about what your parents and grandparents ate as do the people today. I think that Crisco started out using cottonseed oil, in 2012 they started using a blend of the bad stuff palm oil and soybean. When greed took over in these giant name brands we all trusted that's when widespread health issues took over the consumer. People also want fast meals, where are grandparents cooked healthier homecooked meals that simmered all day with the bone in the meats.

      FlavCity with Bobby Parrish back in our parents and grandparents day, they did a lot of their cooking with lard and bacon grease, often rendered from their own, or locally sourced animals, plus, as you said, more were self sustaining and knew the source of their food. Plus, they worked harder physically. All factors in why they were healthier in many respects..

      The American government and big business sold out America years ago to China. America hardly has any food manufacturing companies or jobs here. Even the berries we eat are grown in Mexico but processed in the US "Driscoll". Check the labels, almost nothing is from America. They label it US to keep people buying it but it's not grown on US soil. You have to grow your own or go to local farmer's markets. The US companies has facilities and their corporate offices on US soil but the products are sometimes from international countries. They have contracts with the farmers there.

    DT is nostalgia heaven for me. Love their giant pretzels, six to a pack, in the freezer section. They taste just like the ones I used to buy for 5 cents each from a Jewish street vendor when I was a kid in the 50's in NYC. Dollar Tree pretzels include the salt in separate packets, so you don't have to use them. I defrost in 10 minutes at room temperature, then warm them up, tear into large pieces and dip in mustard. Same ones cost several dollars at supermarkets. Also, their Luigi's real Italian ice is the same brand sold in supermarkets, and love that, too. Takes me back to my childhood. Lots of old fashion candy there, but I know better now than to eat it.
