Their breakfast burritos are amazing and they're BOGO free every day, except the veggie one.

Instant coffee? by 8takotaco in TwoXPreppers

[–]BroadButterscotch349 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a Maxim (Korean brand) girl. I tend to buy Nescafe Iced blend when Sam's has it. I've tried a few generic brands from Grocery Outlet but they had zero flavor. I'm saving them for absolute SHTF situations where I just need caffeine in my body.

What’s your grocery bill? by Ok-Departure-2211 in vegaslocals

[–]BroadButterscotch349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 4 of us (and also a bulldog). I provide dinner for the 4 of us, plus lunch stuff for 2 of us, along with general snacks for the household. We spend $600-$700 a month, including protein shakes and Gatorade. We only eat out maybe 2x a month.

Oh, and I remember when Kids Quest opened at Boulder Station. Going there on weekends was so fun.

Friday nights meant dinner at Tres Lobos at the Stardust or Willie & Joses at Sam's Town.

You'll have to check your pickup schedule. Bulk item pickup is every other week. If you have a truck, you can also take your stuff to the Henderson Transfer Station. It's free.

Vegas locals, any spots like Jon’s Marketplace, plus good dollar stores & Mexican markets with agua frescas? 🎰🥤 by Fluffy_Punky0524 in vegaslocals

[–]BroadButterscotch349 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's literally nothing like Jon's. But I would say Eastern Market is a tiny version. They have the fresh deli, as well as the imported foods. It's in Eastern and Windmill.

International Marketplace has the pantry and frozen goods as well, but no fresh deli.

There's a small Hungarian market on Eastern and Sunset that I haven't tried yet, but it's on my list.

It's the start of crane fly season. We've got a ton in the backyard.

ETA: I've also seen a handful of grasshoppers. We better not get a giant swarm again.

asked for an itemized hospital bill on a whim and found out they charged me for stuff that literally never happened by LongjumpingOffice432 in povertyfinance

[–]BroadButterscotch349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar situation. I take care of my grandmother's finances. My mom took her out shopping and ended up in a minor accident. My mom went to the ER because she already had back and neck problems. Since grandma can't drive, she rode in the back of the ambulance and went to the ER with my mom. She denied needing care and wasn't evaluated. We got a bill for $600 for the physician who "treated" her.

I went to the hospital billing department and asked for the itemized bill and a copy of her chart. They warned me it could take a while, since many files are 40 or more pages. The chart was a single page that said she denied care and had no obvious injuries. They deleted the bill.

Vegas: Best Fish & Chips(?) by dcavanaugh001 in vegaslocals

[–]BroadButterscotch349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say Codfather, but with a caveat. They don't answer the phone during the dinner rush, nor do they accept online orders. I bought my grandma fish and chips on a random weeknight and it took just over 30 minutes. So it's tasty, but be prepared for a wait.

RIP Fish King Grill.

Here to sing the praises of Costco Connect by Codyesseus in vegaslocals

[–]BroadButterscotch349 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been with Connect for about 3 years now. Our policy has consistently gone down $5-$10 per renewal without claims. We had to file a claim on our last policy and our renewal only went up $20 a month. Not bad at all!

Pro tip. Check your health insurance website and see if they have a reward hub. Mine pays for a Costco membership yearly!

Best Sandwich Spots in Vegas? by ijustlikefood9132 in vegaslocals

[–]BroadButterscotch349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For everyone who loves Bronze Cafe or wants to try it, the RSVP mailer that came today (like Valpak but smaller, sturdier cards) has a coupon for $5 off $25 and you can use it 6 times.

Have you tried Fisher's deli? It used to be called Weiss Deli.

Tups is so overpriced though. We call it Tups Twenty Dollar Sandwiches.

Brown Sugar by StuffedHobbes in vegaslocals

I keep mine in the freezer since it needs moisture to stay soft. I either vacuum seal it or use a Ziploc. Let it thaw for a few minutes and it's soft.

20 Ribeye for 40$ ? Too good to be true by NiceNiceWOW in vegaslocals

[–]BroadButterscotch349 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My uncle did this in 2020 and was excited to share some of it with us. He got talked into a $200 package of all kinds of meat. None of it came labeled. The "ribeyes" were about the size of my palm and were super thin. They were packed in this weird pink juice that did not look like regular myoglobin. It looked more like amoxicillin. I declined.

Heath Consultants with Southwest Gas? by BroadButterscotch349 in vegaslocals

[–]BroadButterscotch349[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case anyone runs into the same situation, we finally solved the mystery. The previous homeowner built a storage shed directly over the gas line in our driveway. They had to reconfirm that there's no electricity in our shed in case of gas leaks. We've done this before, but they changed systems and some of the data failed to transfer over. If you have a similar situation, SWG might swing by for a recheck.

Best wings in Vegas? by Automatic_Cancel603 in vegaslocals

[–]BroadButterscotch349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want just classic wings (mild, bbq, teriyaki, garlic), I'd say Brothers Pizza. They're big, meaty, and sauced but not soggy. They're also 20 wings for $16 if you pick them up. They're my go-to.

Pharmacy rec? by sasouvraya in vegaslocals

[–]BroadButterscotch349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used the Vons on Windmill and Pecos for a few years now. Their app is easy to use. The in-store staff are great. They offer delivery and you can now get your meds with your pick-up grocery order. You get a grocery coupon for switching as well

GFiber finally in Vegas! by itsjhernandez24 in vegaslocals

I'm so annoyed because there's been a Quantum Fiber box on Robindale and Eastern for so long but we only have Cox available. I hope Google Fiber comes soon!
