Oddly enough, if you compare prices there are quite a few items that are exactly the same price or lower in PA than in DE. Definitely less than half of what they carry, but plenty. PA is the largest buyer of wine and liquor in the world so they tend to get pretty good bulk discounts. You do have to do your homework to…

I said this elsewhere but yeah, their beer is on point.  I do believe in a lot of the cases though it is contract brewed by local breweries so the quality will probably differ from area to area.  But the 7% ABV IPA I had in Florida from them was excellent!

We love Aldi. We have 3 kids and they (especially now) eat like they have nothing but empty space inside and the prices make it hard to go anywhere else. I’ve come around on their boneless skinless chicken breasts now that they have a family pack size. Unfortunately here in PA they don’t sell wine or beer, but I’ve…

I’m not vegan by any stretch but I found nutritional yeast about a month or so ago and it is awesome. I did make a vegan balsamic mushroom pasta and adding the nutritional yeast definitely gave it a cheesy flavor like topping it with some Parmesan.  It’s also pretty damn good on popcorn.

We have the one on the right (not sure how we got just one) and its a good vinegary hot sauce:

This is where Sam’s Club has Costco beat - I can scan and pay for everything the the app on my phone. I’ve been going to Sams more often lately for that reason. I still hit up the local family owned grocery for items that I want fresh or flour or the odd gallon of milk or quart of creamer. I’m not a fan of the Walton…

Awesome! I’m sure we’ll get close to the 1,000 mark this month with all the streaming and movies every night. We normally only do movies on Friday and Saturdays and Fortnite doesn’t take up much bandwith.

My daughter who’s 6 (and has outpaced the reading level of his books) still absolutely loves him and his books. She sat next to me while I was working this afternoon watching him on my gaming rig and drew right along with him. He seems like an absolutely awesome guy!

Wow.  There are 5 people in our house and we only ever get to 350ish.  Maybe it’s because 3 of them are 10 and under.  Do you have teenagers?

So my wife is a professor of Occupational Therapy with almost 15 years of working in the field prior to teaching so I’m good on all the ergonomics and similar items.  But we have 3 kids (10, 8, 6) who very well may have to either school from home or have extended spring break while the two of us are working from home;…

I do it the way my Grandmom did it.  Open the can and then take your (clean) kitchen shears and start chopping the tomatoes right in the can.  Pour them into the pot and they’ll break down further as they cook.

Can I spread this on my toast?  If so and it tastes like butter, then I’m in.

Our Daisy girl gets her kibble plus whatever the 3 kids drop on the floor... which is quite a lot. She has taken to counter surfing which cuts down on the amount of human food we give since she’s grabbed a bunch by dinner time. She also gets salmon skin when we have it for dinner and I will pour all the leftover juice…

That’s why at this point when I’m travelling for work I always pick a nice restaurant that has a bar and sit there. I also sometimes (most of the time) base my hotel choice on if there are nice walkable places to eat.

The Gatorade thing drives me nuts.  I see kids all the time drinking it after low key sports like baseball.  It’s one thing if the kids are playing a soccer or basketball tournament where they are playing 3-5 games a day but come on even then it’s not really necessary.

I’ve been coaching my kids’ sports teams for 5+ years (ages 6, 8, and 10) and I have to say the snacks after a game are the worst. The kids have come to expect them so as a coach I’m supposed to set up a schedule (that not a single parent follows and even reads) so the kids can have some sugary crap after game. At…

I like David’s Kosher salt quite a bit.  Where does that fall into the Diamond/Morton’s continuum?

The sliding doors are the best feature of a minivan... now I don’t worry about my kids smashing the car next to mine when they get out.

What? Lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles and mustard is standard for a burger. Why did Texas feel the need to name it after itself when literally everywhere in the country has this standard on the normal/house burger? I’m not yucking your choice as I love exactly that on my burgers but I was really curious about the…

Me- Fuck. NO.
