Realgood? That shit is dog food.

Costco is how we actually tried that.

Glad they didn’t bring that garbage back.

That’s all they had at mine a couple of weeks ago. I previously tried their jalapeño poppers and should have learned my lesson then- straight trash. Literally tasted as if “bland” was the type of seasoning they use. And they used extra.

My problem was they never got crispy. Like moist dog food.

Instructions were like 425 for 15 minutes!

Tried that…gross. Tried 450 for 40 minutes next time… never burned, not got crispy, still wet dog food.

We don't run outta Tyson chicken. It also is not a new product.

Now the market does have influences outside of even the markets control, i.e. eggs as of recent. Pine nuts have gone insane compared to 10ish years ago. Avocados have had issues same with romane.

The gluten free Tyson strips were a new product to Costco. They were there for a month. The same strips are at target in smaller bags, Again, it’s not a supplier problem.

I have never seen them so the buyer for your area must have gotten a hot buy. That is not something we normally stock. Get a good deal and pass on the savings. Different than saying Tyson chicken. That's a specific niche your talking about.

Or it’s a specific product that they stock once and never stock again. Happens with probably 40% of the frozen shelf space in our store.
 
LOL@ losers who don’t have HEB.

What is the deal with Texans and HEB?
I remember visiting my father, then being back for his funeral, and both times a bunch of relatives acted like HEB was the be all/end all. They were also beside themselves I'd never been to a Walmart, and, the best part, very confused as to how someone who lives in California knows how to make guacamole. No, I'm not kidding. Anyway, these people were from San Antonio, Austin, and Temple (with Rosebud and Zabcikville thrown in), and they were all obsessed with HEB.

Because it is cleaner, has more selection, more stock, more extra local stuff, friendlier staff, lots of prepared food selections, and better prices than any other store. By far.
HEB. Here, everything’s better. ™
 
I try to frequent whichever store that doesn't have people or kids out front wanting donations or a small fortune for a few cookies or bags of popcorn.

I got hooked on the regular breaded tiddies a few months ago- I hate frozen proteins but decided to try them because they were on sale and I figured it’d be good to have in the freezer for when I don’t wanna go to the store. They are sooooo damn good and convenient! In salads, sandwiches, pastas! Then I went to get more and they only had the panko. Fancier, yes, but I prefer the regular ones. Next trip, they are completely out of the Tyson and/or foster farms so I tried the RealBad ones…I don’t want to chuck them in the trash so I’d like to give them to my dog but holy hell, do they make her farts STINK!!
