Hey y'all. Welcome back to my channel y'all.

Guess Chris, I want to cook me a homecooked meal. Okay, a home-cooked meal. So, on the menu for today, I will be making I didn't even call I was so tired yesterday. I didn't even call my daddy and told my daddy I made it. I'll call him today though.
I'll explain that trip on another day.
Um, I'm here at Crest.
On the menu for today, we want some macaroni and cheese. I saw why people was making um dirty cabbage and dirty spaghetti. Comment below if y'all tried that. I think I'm going to make the dirty cabbage. I love trying different stuff. So, I think I'mma do that. So, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, some dirty cabbage, even some fried chicken or I'll probably put some chicken in the air fryer and smother some in some gravy. I don't know if I'm going to do all that, but I got a taste for that. I got a taste for some cornbread. I got the taste for some banana pudding. I I know I just I want a home-cooked meal. So, I'm going to go in here and get what I need. I don't need a whole lot because I got some macaroni at home. I think I just need the cheese for the macaroni.
I need one more can of baked beans and then I need to get some chicken. Oh, I should make some candy yam.
I don't know. But let's let's go on Chris, y'all. And hopefully they got some good deals. I decided to do something to this wig. My niece did. I put some crinkles in it. But um yeah. So I love this hair color too, y'all. And I'm in here sweating. I need to get my hair fixed. I made a big sacrifice to go down there. I didn't get my air. I didn't get nothing fixed on my car so I can try to enjoy my time with my dad, you know. But um yeah, let's go on to Chris, y'all.
Yeah. I wonder do they miss me inside of Crest? Cuz I miss Crest. I ain't lying.
I do. I miss Crest. I miss going to Win Co. Hopefully I haven't missed out on too many deals. It's been a total of what, six days since I've been to either store. So hopefully they have some good stuff. Y'all, I haven't even charged my mic since I've been gone. I don't even want to take a chance of hooking it up.
So I'm not going to do that. But I do hope I find some good deals. As y'all know, it's summer time. So, that means the kids going to be sitting at home eating up all the snacks. So, I will be here a lot lot trying to get what I can get on a budget cuz these kids Hello, little a small card. Thank you. These kids going to be eating up every so they have y'all.

Hold on. I'll be back. I am going to grab one of these sweet potatoes. 129 a pound. My kids, they're not going to eat these. So, one would be enough.
I think that's what I'mma make. Remind me to get some vanilla flavor, y'all.
And this not bad on the potatoes. They have them two for seven.
I don't know. I'm just getting what I came. I If y'all been mad at me from how I shop in the past, y'all might as well to get y'all might as well get ready to be extra mad cuz it's a summer time.

I don't want to just grab anything.
These are going to be kind of spicy.
These are $3.98.
These kind of sausage are okay. The bars brand. I don't want that.
Oh, I do. I feel like these are good.
I don't think I'm going to get this. I love me a good spicy sauces. I don't know if I should get this brand or should I get this one, y'all?
Which one?
I'm going to get this. $4 for the sausage.
Let's see how much this recipe costs.
$179 for the bell pepper. 79 cent a pound for the cabbage. $4 for the sausage. And we got to grab some ground beef. They have the Italian sausage.
It's the hot kind though. Tofu for two for y'all.
Catfish nuggets. You always can find catfish nuggets for a good price. That's not on the menu for today, so I'm not getting it.
I do want some chicken, but I feel like I need to get It's summer time. I need to get this for $7.40.
No ifs, ends, and buts about it. I need to get it. The only thing about these are I like to get small chicken legs. I do not like big chicken. So, this is $748.
I think I'mma get this bag. I'mma get this.
Remember, school was out, so I got to, you know, I got to try to be smart at this. But I need to go to Sam's Club and try to grab a big box of chips. The 50 bag. I need to go there and get that. I need to get them some gummies and get like three cases of water. I need to go there for that. We'll see.
Most definitely need to do that.
Okay, so I don't need anything else from over there.
What else they have over there?
I still haven't tried this, y'all. I still haven't. I don't know why I'm scared. What you supposed to eat it with? Rice.
Let me know cuz I don't know. Corn beef.
So, I need to grab cheese.
I don't want to grab too much, y'all. I need to grab some cheese and one more can of baked beans.
Oh, I need ground beef. Y'all know that's not my That's not my go-to thing to buy. Y'all already know how I felt about that. They still have the barbecue sauce for 4.5.
I didn't even eat any barbecue for Memorial Day. I was on the highway, y'all. Traveling so tired. Once I made it home, I ended up getting me a M chicken from McDonald's, y'all.
I slept good that night.
Oh, look at this ground beef. This is so ridiculous.
This little pack of ground beef. Y'all don't even have any more. Damn.
6:47 613 I don't need a whole whole lot. I just need a little for the cabbage and a little for the um baked beans. So half and half.
That's how we going to do that.
This little pack of ground beef cost just as much as that chicken and it's like 35 pieces in there. What is this?
Okay, so we got the ground beef for the Let's grab some baked beans. I know my kids, they ready for a homecooked meal.
I know they ready. So yeah, that's what we have. Baked beans.
Uh what is the kind I get? I always get the plain original baked beans. That's what the kids love, the baked beans.
And what else?
>> I always have a heart. I almost talk too soon, y'all. When you buy two, you can get them for three. I mean, not three.
228 or if you buy one, you can get them for 3.28. So, you almost paying $4 for one.
You might as well get two for $4 and something. And the kids, Amaya and Duke, like these, so I'll get these.
I got to get some snacks for them.
And then I might buy one box of cakes.
But that's the thing. Um, the girls don't eat cakes. They don't.
I'mma get this knockoff box of um part tarts cuz they love part tart. It's the last box, too, for 116.
I will get the fruit cups, but I'mma just wait cuz I have extra kids over and the more kids over, the more food I'm going have to buy. And it's hard trying to focus on my four.
So, I have to wait. 3:48. I need some more oil. I almost forgot. So, I'm glad I looked at this for 3.48.
Um, cheese. I think that's the only thing I need. I would like to get some aluminum pans, but that's me spending money. If I ain't getting it um that deal I get at Sam's Club, I don't want it.
Uh, let's see.
Lunch me two for five. Honey ham black forest. They always had this ham for two for five always.
And I will get me a piece of chicken.
But since I'm going to fry some chicken cuz soon as I go home, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to start cooking cuz I know my kids, they're ready to eat.
Y'all, this is so funny to me. Now I'm walking by trying to see what they have over here. But I look over here and see they have these in the freezer. Somebody decided to put these over here. I guess they put them back. I wonder if they're frozen.
So, should I get this box and put Oh, they're not frozen though.
But I'm going to take a chance. I'm going to get this one to somebody. Put it right there.
And then I'll put this back. I'm not going to walk it back all the way up there.
Um, but I I'm not going to put it in the freezer either.
Oh, no. I just hand it to the lady up front. I keep it. I make sure I put that one back there. This the cold one.
I don't know who did that, but thank you.
Therefore, my kids won't have to wait all day.
Okay. I'm not going to buy any ice cream.
I'm looking for some cheese.
Okay, since they still have these two for five, I'm going to grab these. And the kids, they might like them. You get 18 pops of this for $2.50 in summertime. So, I'll get these, too.
I don't know if they going to like these because they're sour. I could put these back, but I'm going just keep them both.
Let me just keep them both, y'all.
Um, let's grab some cheese.
And let's grab what else?
They have the Best Choice ice cream, two for three. I'm not a big fan of the Best Choice items. And then they have the Cool Whip for 99, but I don't see me needing that anytime soon. So, I'm going lay that right there.
I'mma grab some mild cheddar cheese.
It's 198.
I'm grab one of these. And then I'mma grab one of these. The Kobe Jack.

Oh, that's not bad cuz I know they cost more at Walmart. The ham and cheese hot pockets, the $7.98 12 count. That's not bad. They have the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, the Uncrustables, two for six. That's not bad either. Let's grab some water cuz we need to drink plenty of water.
What's wrong with this cart?
Let's grab some crest water. Two for six.
Okay. So, for the healthy plates, I'm going to grab these.
The 45 count um for 2.88.
I need those.
