    I love love love grocery outlet! The only place to shop in this ridiculous expensive time. Side note, expiration dates don’t really mean anything. Many foods can remain shelf stable for 6 months to 1 year after the date posted on the product. Also that food would only last me 1 week, 2 weeks tops!!! Hahahahaha

    You really don't need to be so vigilant about those" expiration" dates. In most cases they're actually best by dates, meaning they don't guarantee taste past a certain point, but even in the case of actual expiration dates, usually they're not calculated based on testing, science, or public safety recommendations. I'd suggest looking into it.

    Rebecca, I have to say first. You look Fabulous in that Red Shirt❤ I, love this type of Video, even though N.E.Oklahoma ( just outside Tulsa, here) We, don't have a Grocery Outlet.I will just Watch vicariously through you❤ Btw! I bought Food at Walmart, the other day. It was over $100 for 3 Bags of Groceries & it was just basic Almond Milk, Bread, Tofurky, Rice, Veggies, Plant Butter, Olive Oil, Some Snacks, Coffee & Plant Based Coffee Creamers & Cat Food. It's crazy the Prices! I, don't know how Non Vegans, are Feeding their Families! I honestly hope this Inflation will cause a lot of People, to go Plant Based or Vegan, that would be fantastic & save Animals Lives, as well. Blessings & Love to you & Berto,
