Such fun to see Besties at work and play! 🙏💕
I’m watching the repeat, and I live in Los Angeles, and the eggs at my Ralph’s/Kroger are $8.69 for a dozen of Eggland white eggs. The 18 count were $14.99. The store brand is $6.99 to $7.99 a dozen for white or brown.
I missed the live.🥲
Hello ladies. Enjoying the video. I've been cooking for years. I believe that you don't have to cook a large meal to be feed. I'm a single woman. I break down all of my food. Weather it be cake mix, rice a roti, mac and cheese. What ever. A pound of ground beef or chicken I separate into 4 pcs. Food seal it. Family pc of tenderloins, 2 per pack. A starch and vegetable. Slice of butter bread. We all must learn to change the way we eat and feed our families. God Bless you both.
Love Granny Karma and Toni Bites.
Here in AZ, a dozen eggs will cost you between 6$ and $11…. Depending on if it is a generic/store brand or if it is organic or pastured eggs.
Upstate NY. $6.16 for 18 Walmart brand last week
I was 😂😂😂 at the cat conversation. Last snowstorm we made an emergency run to the store… for canned cat food. 😑😑
Also I’ll be listening to the rest of this after work
We do street outreach every Saturday. I always take 2 hot dishes. It used to be egg bake and French toast casserole. I’m surely looking for some non egg options for a large pan
Thx for all you do. I love your videos! ❤
When dealing with children's food preferences I've noticed their instincts tell them to eat foods high in potash like strawberries and dark meat chicken. Before puberty the only high potassium food children seem to like is banana. Surprisingly sometimes they don't like something that's too sweet. Example french toast or waffles with syrup verses sugar cinnamon buttered toast.
Watching the repeat and eggs here are $7.42 a dozen.
I always love your collaboration videos!
Hi Denise 👋 in San Francisco our eggs are $8.99/dozen right now and that's the basic Kroger brand from Foods Co the cheapest grocery store out here. ❤ They are killing us with these prices 😅 I think they want us to convert over to the engineered fake meat proteins at this point.
Repeat-Egglands were cheapest on Monday.
$4.66/ dozen for eggs here in TX, but we have chickens! 🐓 🪺
