I think this episode should be call Dad over budget adventure.😂
😆 hehe
This should be filed under his Bougie “break the bank” MRE playlist. 🤑
Absolutely. Gonna change the channel name to Busted Budget Adventures 😂
Dad Bougie Adventures... it's right there 😀
FYI. You're Wife just called. She had to run back over to World Market. She forgot a few things. She said that you wouldn't mind. 😂😂😂❤🎉🎉
Nooooooooooooo!
The only way to get out of World Market without breaking the bank is to not grab a basket or cart! Fun video can't wait to see your next adventure.
You are absolutely correct. They should do like Aldi and make you put money in it to get a cart only it has to be a $100 bill 😬
Just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I’m an ER nurse and after a long stressful day I love to watch your videos to relax and decompress. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! That means a lot. And thank you for what you do every day.
Thank you for all the work and sacrifices you make.
Throw a ziplock snack or sandwich bag in for snacks in cans. I carried a few different size ziplock in my backpack and found so many unexpected uses for them. Another great episode, thanks.
Great idea. Thanks!
These bags make somewhat fragile auxiliary water container.
I'll look back through your videos. I'm 62 years old and I've learned as you get older. At least for me. I can't eat a lot of spicy stuff but I understand when you need food You need food. Really enjoying all the places you go.
Thank you so much. Hope you enjoy the rest of the content!
Steve referred, lets get this out on a tray. Nice.
Props to Steve
Appears Walmart wants you to come back. That’s one of the ads I got.
Now that’s funny 😀
0% commercials
100% fun to watch!
Thanks, dude
Thank you so much!
You always have interesting items for MRE’s. We do a family circle the wagons (trailer camping) Labor Day weekend on our sons 35 acres this would be a great fun party to do. Thank you for all the videos. Party on!
I would love to see people doing family (or friends) outings where everyone builds a MRE and presents what they built!
@@dadbudgetadventures yes I am going to make a suggestion we do that. Everyone can pick what meal they want, either a breakfast, lunch or dinner. Last year one family member brought out their first aid kit, explained all items. She even had a small surgery kit, I don’t think I could do it. I might pass out.
I love it!
Y'know, I'm gonna rewatch last week's episode and commercials too!
Thank you so much. That makes my day!
Hey! I am so glad that you refer to other UA-camrs like SteveMRE and Luke from the Outdoor Gear Review. Much respect!
Thank you. I wouldn’t be here if not for guys like them who laid the groundwork.
I so need you to go to an HEB. I cannot imagine how much fun you'd have with their "My Cup Of" teas, or their nut mixes, or their quick-fix soups. And HEB has Hatch chile *everything*
I’m going to be in Texas next week and plan to find the nearest HEB while I’m there!
@@dadbudgetadventures Where in Texas? (HEB doesn't go to Amarillo or El Paso. But the Valley, Central Texas, and we have one here in Lubbock now... DFW has them called Central Market, too, which is a little upscale.)
I’ll be in the DFW area
Good morning, you were so funny about the money, you had me giggling 😂😂 this MRE was a little too bougie for my wallet. Your reaction was entertaining 😂😂😂😂 I didn't see a single ad, just fyi.
Thank you so much. At the very least it is enriching knowing I brought smiles to some viewers!
You've got a new MRE classification here. MRE-LE: Meal Ready to Eat - Luxury Edition.
For those who can afford the apocalypse 😂
The GLAMpocalypse, more like. 😊
@@JAB671 Pardon me raider sir can you pass me the grey poupon?
@@skittlemenow Wow, talk about synchronicity! I opened a squeeze bottle of Grey Poupon last night for some hotdogs I had grilled. That was the first time I had Grey Poupon in, well, I honestly can't remember when the last time was. And of course I had to say the 'Pardon me," line as I opened it. I think I only have it because I found it at the discount grocery.
Oh the good times we will have among the zombies and mutants.
I have an emergency ration. There are Goobers which is mixed peanut butter and grape (or strawberry) jelly. The Walmart version is called Stripes, costs about $1 less, grape jelly only and comes in a plastic (Goobers is glass) jar so it won't beak on you. It weighs 16 ounces, has 2,100 calories and 50 grams of protean. Sorta like the WWIII D ration, can be eaten with a spoon, does not really need a drink to consume it. Not a satisfying meal but provides a day's calories in a very small package. Keep these for emergencies like getting really stranded in my truck.
I need to try that. Sounds awesome!
Anything with World in the title, you know you are going to get taken advantage of one way or another. One suggestion on where to try shopping is a home improvement store. Surprisingly the Manards stores have a decent little food section. Lows, Home Depot, Ace Hardware... They always have stuff to be used as snacks or sides but an entree might be difficult to find. ✌️
I haven’t had any luck with the hardware stores near me and we don’t have Menards. However there is one where my parents live and I’ll be going to see them in a couple weeks so that will be a stop when we go there.
Great video as usual, thank you. I have a place in Colorado Springs called Asia Pacific Market. They have a great selection of dried and canned food with good shelf life, and the prices are acceptable. If you have something like it near you, give it a look.
I need to look at my local Asian markets and see what I can come up with.
The herb is probably lemongrass (or maybe galangal?). sweetened condensed milk would probably really help that thai tea.
That would be really good. This tea has a lot of possibilities for making some really good drinks.
I love that place , I wish we had one where we live .
My wife was always a big fan of ours before it closed. She was really enjoying herself on the outing. Maybe a little too much 😬
I discovered your channel back when you had less than 2k subscribers. I’ve been very impressed with how you have evolved your content and interjection of humor. Your presentation skills are great and your delivery is fantastic. I appreciate your honesty, dedication, and preparation of your content. I know some might say this sounds like a love letter but it’s not 😂 I just think it’s important to share honest feedback with content creators when it is deserved. Very few creators take the time to read and respond to comments and I hope you can continue keep up with your channel growth.
New challenge - MRE from a gas station convenience store. We don’t have Buckees here, but I’ve seen a video on shopping there for backpacking food. 7-11 might also be a good challenge.
Until next week, cheers 😊
P.S. The soup might be good with Vodka and a celery stick?
Thank you so much! That makes my day. Working on making a gas station MRE happen once I find the right place.
I’m so glad you did this video. I can’t believe I missed it when I was looking at all your vids. Bravo. So glad you bought the nuts in the can. And you picked out the main that I said to myself would be awesome to have.
I need to go back and get more of those nuts. They were really good and would work in any MRE.
I sat through two commercials for you. I don't even slow down while driving past World Market. Maybe I should find a co-signer for a loan and try them again. But a good video. That hatch Chili chocolate bad is pretty darned tempting! Glad everything came together and you didn't go into Chapter 11over a bum MRE.
I need to start a rule that people who suggest expensive places have to send me the items 😂
@@dadbudgetadventures That's a good idea! Chip in! And keep your wife away from the store. (What were you thinking?)
Dad you've made me interested in trying that type of soup, if I like them I'll take some camping. I had ads to start and ads in the middle. And tell Mum happy mother's day ❤
Thank you so much. I’ll pass that on to her.
Thanks again! Got a World Market nearby, gonna have to get me one of those chocolate bars. That place is a little $$, but things you may not find elsewhere. I thought of another place to venture to, Tractor Supply Co.
Now that I have got here. Might have to pop in and look around
Watched the 5 min More Beer video, but I am a home brewer so it was good info. I also worked the Albuquerque Balloon Festival last year (Bike Valet Parking), had a blast and am going to work it again this year. And you are right, Sister and Brother In-Law live there and they put hatch chilies on lots of stuff.
I had to pass on the hatch chili wine though. That was too far.
I am grateful for all you share with homemade mre’s but I stay away from that store. 🤣.
We are looking at hurricane season going to go back through some of your videos for inspiration thank you
I’m proud to have a part in helping someone find ways to survive disaster. Thank you for helping me stay motivated!
If a commercial comes on, I promise I'll watch it sir!
Thank you. And my wallet thanks you 😂
Ads...check. I watch ads except those that are over 2 minutes long like those 9 minute infomercials...lol. Another great MRE. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Thank you so much!
For things that come in cans like that, might be worth tracking down some bulk silicone can covers to toss in with those MRE's. Usually work pretty well and betting there are other ways you could use them on top of using them to re-seal or put a top on a can.
Great idea! Thanks!
It's not our fault that you took the wife in with you is it. Adverts watched and you are actually inspiring me to try out a HMMRE. Good video sir 👍
Yeah that’s on me 😂. Thanks for being there though!
World Market also has so many fun “morale” kind of items you could throw in. Always fun to walk around ours when we have time to kill while we’re out.
Prince of Peace Thai Tea mixes are pretty nice to carry… Has all the cream and sugar in one packet sort of like some of the instant coffee pouches do.
I found so many things I’d put in my kits if they weren’t so expensive. Would make an amazing accessory pack but it would have $20 worth of stuff without even counting the food 😬
Well done Sir, I think I would enjoy all of those items. Remembering my last green chili cheeseburger.
Thank you. I love pretty much anything with green chilis. Never would have thought it would be so good with chocolate!
Interesting choices from World Market Better half and I go there for the HoneyComb Chocolates.
Can you do a breakfast MRE without using Pop tarts? Would love to see your take on that.
Thank you for the interesting meal ideas and keep up the great work.
I’ve been searching for breakfast items but shelf stable breakfast is not easy to find. I keep looking though.
I was about to write I didn't see any ads in the video, but after the video was over i watched one play. Thank you for the video I appreciate you.
Thank you. And thanks for putting up with the ads.
DBA: How about putting together a
few different accessory packs?
Could contain various spices, drinks, condiments, hygiene items,
mints, gum, fire, your imagination
would find a cool mix of things.
I was thinking of doing a video specifically about accessory packs
Man, THAT is dedication to your channel. For me, going to World Market is a once or twice a year thing specifically to pick up just a couple of things I can't find anywhere else.
I know you have already done a Big Lots MRE for the channel - or maybe even a couple - but just FYI in case you might just want to try them (if they are still stocked) Big Lots used to sell - and maybe still do - Indian dishes that came in a cardboard box/sleeve with a retort pouch inside like your soup came in. They are vegetarian so I prefer to add meat but they are very good - I think they are better than any, similar things I have gotten elsewhere. I need to get by there and see if they still have them.
I will definitely look for those!
Great video! The spicy nuts were a cool addition, very nostalgic! And the the main looked delicious too. I was so excited to see you went to World Market I watched 2 commercials and shared the video! You did great, it makes me want to go wonder around world market and see all of their treasures!
Thank you for putting up with the ads and for sharing! I truly appreciate the support. Try not to break the bank if you go!
Another great video DBA. Thanks for sharing it, we really enjoyed it.
JT
Thank you so much!
Just commenting for the algorithm to help this guy out iv also felt the sting of world market prices 😂
Thank you so much! I’ll take all the help I can get.
This one is pretty cool. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
really enjoy your channel. I do want to start looking around the supermarkets here in the UK to try and put together some MREs ( or 24 hour ration packs to us older Brits)
I’d love to see what you have there to make these. I imagine they would look quite different.
There are chili recipes that include chocolate. So going on that thae Hatch Chili Chocolate should be great!
It was the best thing in this meal for sure.
Hey here's a challenge carnivore mre. I just started a carnivore diet 1 week ago. So carnivore diet is any meats, butter or animal fat, dairy like hard cheese. There are other things but they are perishable type items. The drink can be just water or some black coffee. And you may have to pass on the dessert.
I try to avoid doing diet specific MREs because I don’t have much knowledge about the specific requirements and would likely get it wrong. I don’t want to be the guy that tells someone to eat something that messes them up.
i know your probably not planning to end up back in ABQ new mexico anytime soon but if you do it would be interesting to watch you try to make an MRE from the store john brooks. it use to be a very popular grocery store here and now we only have one. it would be great to see the shop get some love. as usual i love your videos and i hope you have a good day.
I want to go back so bad but I can’t do Balloon Fest this year because of a schedule issue. Maybe next year.
Love the chocolate and chili combo. I once made hot chocolate using a Lindt chili chocolate bar. Added a dash of cinnamon for some extra zing :)
I bet that was amazing!
Hit Jungle Jims in Fairfield OH.
That’s two requests for that. If I make it up that way I will definitely do that. Looks like my kind of place anyway.
"There's things in there I can't identify." I sure hope that can was really sealed! Those "things" might wiggle or crawl.😂
It was from World Market. Ya never know 😬
When I worked doing deliveries during the winter time, we would put our lunch over the defrost vents and cover it with rags or a shirt with the heat on blast.
There are so many great ways to heat this stuff on the cheap
I saw two ads! This was a fun one! I’m wondering if the rice would soften a bit if you put your sauce over it and then let it sit a few minutes while you ate your soup first?
I believe it probably would. Even a little heat would help although it was far from inedible. But letting the sauce soak in certainly makes it all better
Ethnic food stores, gas stations, and 7&11
All great suggestions!
I’d love to see gas stations, especially Casey’s. They’ve come out with a lot of “stir brand” items. They are in the Midwest, not far from most every Dollar General. (I actually think they need to join forces and just make combo DG/caseys 😆)
Typhoon is great tea if you get a chance try it.
I’ll have to look for that
Always happy to see another vid coming out and enjoyed it as always.
I propose a challenge.
Gas/Service Station MRE.
As I've worked in and managed one before, let's drop the 12 month down to a 6 month shelf life.
I hope the ones in the US have as much as the ones in Australia. Ours are like small supermarkets these days, particularly in the state I live in.
I am planning just such a video. It will be fun to see what I find.
Have you considered a series where you make MRE’s that don’t have the same rules you use for these videos? Maybe give yourself the freedom to use a camping cook set. See what kind of meals you can make using only shelf stable ingredients. For example, making chicken tacos with canned chicken or something like that.
I wasn’t thinking of doing something like that just to shake things up every now and then.
I have a World Market here where I live... I haven't been in YEARS, but recently put it on my list of places to explore. Thankfully I'm not married... 🤣 🍻
Go alone. That’s all I can tell ya 😂
Is it true that World Market doesn’t have a Customer Service desk because they replaced it with a Finance Department? 😂
I’m not sure. When I walked up they asked for a $100 deposit just to talk to them 😬
No ads seen on my end. Yes, I recommended World Market. You should have plenty of ideas ready for the charcuterie MRE. I bet the wife was excited.
Absolutely. There was so much cool stuff there and I have some bonus items for a future video too! Thanks for playing along.
Seventeen minutes or so in and there hasn't been any ads save for at the beginning and I watch em all by default for channels that I like and aren't big money sponsored channels. If I happen to fall asleep, even better because it just keeps playing the vids with ads.
I love that plan. Thanks for taking one for the team when you can!
Nice
Thank you
I bet you would have a great time doing an MRE from Rural King.
I’m not familiar with them but I’ll certainly be on the lookout!
Loved the video, as usual. Since I am just getting started in Indian food, I think I am going to try that entree. But, here is the real reason I am commenting. I have had a suspicion, for quite a while now, about this channel, and your content inspiration, and this video confirmed it. I absolutely loved the call out to SteveMRE1989Info! I thought that many of your thoughts and ideas harkened back to some of his content, especially the C ration video, which is why I knew that the final hidden product was going to be "cigarettes". So very cool of you to shout out to him! On another note, I would like to make a suggestion. You hinted at it a little bit in this video, but I wanted to suggest using your wife's palate for heat, as compared to yours, would be a great judge of spice levels. Thank you again for such entertaining and amazing videos! Please keep it going strong
That’s a great idea. I’ll need to call her in when I’m testing items that I think are not very hot to see what her opinion is.
Alright! I ordered the omelet and damn that was tasty. The 'local' World Market (30 mins each way) so I don't have the wife problem.😅😅
How they figured how to microwave a STEEL container is beyond me. Pull the tab off completely,
Ground shipping was $9 for 3 bowls, so not bad.
Oh did I say it was tasty?
Awesome! That’s been one of my favorite finds so far!
when my kids were young we would play a game and pick up something from the store we had never tried before
so n that note would you consider maybe trying to make an MRE from an Asian food mart or from foods you have never ate before?
could make for interesting viewing thanks
I definitely want to do an Asian market MRE. As far as the other, I try to always pick out things I haven’t had before whenever I can.
🤣🤣 You had me laughing out loud. Thanks.
I'm not much into shopping, but I can see getting drawn in at a place with neat, novel stuff. Usually my weakness is a grocery store with different foods over my usual grocery store. I can make that credit card groan.
Maybe this will throw a few pennies your way. I'm playing this video on my smart tv via hubs account, and on my laptop thought my account. Letting ads play.
Loving your bougie MRE. I LOVE spicy chocolate. Peppers and chocolate pair so well. Fun thing to look for.. Do you remember pop rocks? I tried a couple of brands with that it in. One of them incorporating both the popping candy and a spicy pepper in a base of dark chocolate. So good. I need to try that hatch bar. Once a year I order fresh frozen hatch chilis peppers. That'll be coming up in July. Mmmm
Definitely will be checking out the other vid
Oddly enough my brother gave me a box of candy bars with pop rocks. That’s definitely a different kind of experience!
I can’t ask for much better support than people running multiple platforms and letting the commercials play. That’s epic. Thank you.
Vegemite is something that would be useful from World Market and will last some time can used on cracker or survival bread. Salty snack filled with high B vitamin content. Jar will last a long tine. Its used by spreading really thin because its strong.
I have a jar of Marmite I’ve been wanting to try but haven’t figured out how I want to serve it
Normally on toast with layer of butter and then a thin coating of of Vegemite or Marmite. It's butter and salty so sparing is how it's eaten. Grew up on it my mother was a Aussie war bride.
I’ll give it a go!
LOL…. I feel your pain!
My wallet is still sore
Such great content vary addictive had to subscribe..❤❤😂😅
Thank you. I’m glad you’re here!
I learned something new! Those things are called retort pouches?
Dad: I am gonna dig into this lunch!
Retort pouch: Over my dead body!
Dad: 😳
Bad dad jokes comg along with the budget adventures, right?
Absolutely. I need to start a second channel and just do dad jokes about MREs
With the cost of this meal, I would write it off and an entertainment expense 😂. Great adventure
Believe me this will be a write off for sure. I just wish I could write off everything else we bought while we were there 😂
When will you update the Stanley chuck box? That video will be a hit. If you build it, they will come…😉
I am working on streamlining that kit as we speak. When I bring it back I want it to be a truly great update.
@@dadbudgetadventures it can be an extended series: 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, etc. I’ll never get sick of watching Stanley lunch box videos. 👍
Right? It’s a rabbit hole!
Check out home goods or Marshall’s I feel like they have a super strange food selection might find some stuff with some good luck
Good idea. I’ve bought food at Home Goods before but never went looking for stuff for MREs
My favorite part of the videos is when I can go "heh, I found those too" Today's was the Thai Tea. I also bought small packets of Condensed Milk to go in the tea.
Yeah, World Market is too upscale...
That is definitely a different world 😬
Hi from Argentina, I suggested Mexican, Texan, Thai , Chinese food. Do you find these at the World Market? Ups😢
World Market has a lot of international type items but not like a real international market. It’s a lot of higher end items.
Hey dude, how about making one from Piggly Wiggly. Keep making content.
I don’t have a Pig nearby but I think there is one south of the state line. I’ll check into it!
Spice wimp here, I'll stick to regular chocolate and mains. 😁 I love World Market, but my husband does not, lol. I don't know why he doesn't like it..🤔🤣
I bet I could figure it out for ya 😂
You should do more stand up comedy.
I’m afraid people would yell at me to sit down
I’m thinking that putting a pouch of tuna in the soup would make it a meal in itself.
That would definitely work
Thank you it was very interesting. I love chocolate with spice.
Have you done any International Stores? Like Global Foods or H-Mart?
I don’t have either of those locally but I do have an international market in my area where I’ve picked up some items here and there. Always some cool options there.
@@dadbudgetadventures They always have interesting stuff. I've picked up coffee in pour over packs to all kinds of walk around snacks as well as exotic entrees
So out of curiosity how does skipping the longer advertisements hurt creators? Do creators get paid a extra amount if we suffer through the extra long advertisements?
My understanding is that it doesn’t hurt (not like quitting the video part way in) but the longer you watch the more pennies they give me. So it’s not an algorithm thing as much as a watch time thing.
The lesson I learned from this video is to prep your MRE's from Walmart and to save World Market for looting after the Zombie Apocalypse. Your challenge now is to go back to Walmart and prepare an MRE which costs as much as World Market and compare the gourmet quality.
I could almost do a 24 hour MRE for that cost. A single meal at that cost would be epic!
Didnt have any commercials 😢 would have watched if they appeared. Comment for the algorithm
I’ll take it, thanks!
Commenting for the algorithm, to help pay for this video 😅
I’ll take it. Any way I can get it 😂
Hi DBA. It's not clear to me. When you were at World Market, did you spend much money?
On a serious note, I didn't know World Market was still in business. The one near me also closed years ago.
I have no more money. Future videos will be made from the food pantry at a shelter somewhere.
I left with a shopping cart full of candy bars. Yes, I had a second mortgage
Seems about right 😂
What about a Target?
I’ve tried a couple times but our Target is kinda lacking. I keep trying though. One day…
Looks like I will save visiting this place until after I win Powerball
You won’t tell anybody you won, but there will be signs 😂
Have you tried Ollie’s yet?
As a matter of fact I have. It was kind of the one that really kicked this trend off.
LOL, I pay for membership, so I have no idea how much you get when I watch. I don't get ads.
Not enough 😂
So I didn't get any ads but that's because I have youtube premium, so the ad money still is coming to you!
Good to know! Thanks for supporting anyway 😀
I Love watching your videos. They are very informative and entertaining. Maybe you could make one that is not with hot spicy food though I can't eat any of that. I would love to see one that's just kind of plain. Maybe plain rice and peanut butter something like that I guess. Maybe I missed those. Maybe you've already posted those before.
I’ve had some but I could definitely look into doing a low spice menu.
It was difficult to see the small "stick" on your finger but I think it was tamarind. Beautiful Bride and mother-in-law often make a tamarind soup for our table and we will find small bits that appear much like the unidentified item you displayed. That seasoning is common here in SE Asia.
Thanks for letting me know! And thanks for checking in from so far away. I always love hearing people tell me where they are from. It lets me know how far I’m reaching!
So let's go more expensive (and probably a bit hard, since you can't get single serve items.) Costco, Sam's, BJ's or another wholesale club... but your wife must go with you!
Ya see, you had me until that last part. You just want me to be broke, don’t ya? 😂
@@dadbudgetadventures I laughed way too hard when you said you took her in at World Market. The way you hung your head .. I feel that pain.
Still hurts
To me a good MRE contains breakfast ,lunch and dinner. Toilet paper, napkin,wet wipe,pork and butter knife
If it’s a 24 hour MRE it would definitely have all those things. Most MREs are single meal kits though. As far as accessory kits, I don’t usually make a deal about those because they don’t come from the store that’s being featured in the video.
never know what you will come up with for a meal
Always something interesting in the mix
You came to Nashville and you didn't even call me? hahahaha Didn't know you lived relatively close to Nashville.
Yep. I’m in the Memphis area. I’m going to be at Montgomery Bell State Park on June 9 for Ernest Day if you’re in the area and want to swing by and say hi. You might even get into the video I’ll be shooting about it.
@@dadbudgetadventures Cool. Didn't even know about Ernest Day, nor did I know the movie was shot at Montgomery Bell. Love Jim Varney's silly stuff. I'll try to attend. If I do and see you there, I'll introduce myself. Just a heads up - based on the info I found online, the event is on June 8th (Saturday) and not June 9th, which is a Sunday. Wouldn't want you to make the trip a day late. 😀
Yeah that’s what I meant. I keep getting the date mixed up in my head but I know I’ll be there Saturday. That’s the important part 😂
LMAO…. Omg The World’s Most EXPENSIVE MRE!!!’
It’s fancy like that 😂
👍👏🏻👍🤣👍
😎
HV A GREAT DAY D.B.A. ENJOY MOMS DAY ALSO....Z....
You too, bud. Thank you!
@@dadbudgetadventures YW
I pay for youtube premium because I realy struggle with ads, hopefully a comment is good for the video.
Absolutely! Every little bit helps.
MRE's for Mark Zucekberg and Bill Gates 😂
Right ? And I don’t have their income!
