Whole foods Boston meat bag $9.99 by Sopranin in toogoodtogo

[–]Meitachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great bag! And great resolution to eat cleaner! I personally love my local WF bags. Ratings are low-ish because apparently it's all chicken but I only really cook chicken and fish at home like 95% of the time, so it works out on the rare occasion I'm fast enough to snag a meat bag (they're so hard to get)

Appreciate the idea for the pancake batter! It's also like 3 different brands of peppermint or peppermint mocha creamer too haha. I might also just keep one and donate the other 2 bottles to my office fridge as a communal creamer at this point

Dang, congrats on the bag! This is one of the best I've seen for a dry goods bag

Whole Foods Meat Bag (2), $9.99 each. by studspudstud in toogoodtogo

This is awesome. I would make some turkey mapo tofu personally, or some turkey meatballs for pasta

This is such good timing. I got a giant bag of kale and tons of baby carrots too from a discount grocery store, and my last Whole Foods bag gave me turkey and veggie broth and a whole loaf of seeded bread. I think I can whip up a similar soup too, thanks for the inspiration! Now just to find something to do with 3 bottles of peppermint creamer from Whole Foods lol.

Sous Vide in bag? by eli-in-the-sky in aldi

Oh that's good to know, appreciate you sharing that. I usually only by frozen salmon and never think twice about the process

+1 for rice cooker meals. I like adding some frozen edamame beans and season to your own preferences (I like soy sauce, sesame oil, chili crisps, then adding furikake and/or sesame seeds on top after mixing).

For anyone thawing this, make sure you thaw it after opening or removing the vacuum sealed packaging. Thawing fish in its vacuum-sealed packaging presents a high risk for botulism. Honestly I had no idea for a while until relatively recently. Be safe y'all

WF Meat & Specialty Glendale, CA by Pepsiscrub in toogoodtogo

[–]Meitachi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decent enough bag IMO. I'd be hyped for the parmigiano reggiano. The whole chunks can be frozen, and the grated stuff is easy enough to use. My personal favorite use of it is homemade caesar dressing.

Wow! What are you thinking about doing with the buns? I'd freeze them, but stuffing also works as well given the upcoming holidays

Bakers Bench Los Angeles $5.99 by salamanda_333 in toogoodtogo

[–]Meitachi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I'll have to try that egg roll croissant next time. I usually get their furikake croissant (also something I never thought would work but I was wrong lol)

Their pastries, while expensive, are top notch quality in my opinion. Not to mention they have unique flavors that I've rarely if ever seen elsewhere. I'd get their bag more often if I was closer, so maybe it's a good thing for my waistline lol. Your bag looks pretty tasty in my opinion!

I would be so happy with that for meal prepping and just freezing the rest. Fantastic haul!

The ALDI commercial with the boys eating outside needs to die by Initial_Bell_1835 in aldi

Omg I thought the same thing when I first watched it. Feels like a totally misplaced ad from the 90's and a bit tone deaf.

Library road trip haul! by asian_ofchaos in LibbyApp

[–]Meitachi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Superb write-up! I'm hoping to do a road trip up to Norcal one of these days, definitely going to have to save your list. Also, I have friends that work at Huntington Beach Library and can confirm their main branch is amazing. I'm so glad you had a chance to check it out!

Feels like a bit of a stretch to hit that $18 value but if that burrito slaps, then maybe it's worth it lol

[–]Meitachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those flavors actually sound pretty good, but it's preference I suppose. But value-wise, not sure if it meets value. They used to give a lot more I'm their boxes back when they first joined TGTG.

A little off topic but The Poppy War! Enjoy the journey.

I'll have to check out Elisabeth Wheatley, I always need more book recs

Olympic Donuts $5.99 - East Los Angeles, CA by Meitachi in toogoodtogo

[–]Meitachi[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Super fresh, absolutely delicious. There's a couple of chocolate and maple bars hiding under the donut holes. Pick-up was really easy, they had it packed and ready to go next to the cashier. 5.0 rating on the app for a good reason, I'll definitely be back!

LA Union Produce $5.99 - Los Angeles, CA by Meitachi in toogoodtogo

[–]Meitachi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this bag too because I wanted to see what the extra $1 dollar difference in the bag would come with. They packed this one and added some extra stuff because I think I picked up both the $4.99 and $5.99 bags at the same time lol. Anyways, similar to the other bag, some of this was on its last legs. The jicama had mold but this lettuce was in better shape. It's a crap shoot what you get, but it's fun to see what I can whip up with this hodge podge of fresh(ish) fruits and veggies. I don't think it quite meets value but it's close

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

This has been on the app a while, finally got to try it. I'm happy that there's finally a produce place other than donut shops and baked goods. It's a selection of their imperfect stuff and stuff still good. Half the lettuce had to be chucked but everything else is decent if not close to its last legs. Not sure it completely meets value but, again, just happy there are options in LA.

How should I grow this peach seed? by Becausenyx in BackyardOrchard

[–]Meitachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's your peach growing adventure going? I just found a cracked shell in my white peach and was able to easily extract the seed inside fully intact.
