Week 20

All right, May specials are live. Let’s get to it.

Green Peas

​Green peas​, 30% off. These are just like the peas that you see like at the top of the cup of noodles. They’re good. I’ve put ’em in soups. I’ve cooked them in a little pot with water, like as a side. They’re great. They’re a great little vegetable.

Grilled Chicken

​Grilled Chicken​ is next. These are fine. I’m not the biggest fan of freeze dried chicken in general. It’s not a Thrive Life thing, it’s a freeze dried chicken thing for me. It just kind of tastes like reheated chicken, so it’s not my favorite flavor, but it does really help after you reconstitute it. So after you add water and let it sit for a few minutes, it does really help to fry it in a frying pan with oil. It helps bring out more of the freshness flavor.

Potato Dices

These are ​potato dices​, so it’s freeze dried potatoes. I have used these in soup. I’ve also made mashed potatoes, but honestly, the mashed potatoes are easier to make mashed potatoes with. I would save this for like a soup or a casserole or something if you wanted little chunks of potatoes. But these are freeze dried. So they’re the same soft, not like the super hard things and I just put ’em in this airtight container, keep the freshness longer.

Cheddar Cheese

Next is ​cheddar cheese​. I love this stuff. It’s great. It is going to have a bit of a different texture once it is reconstituted and has been in the fridge to cool down. It’s amazing. It tastes like cheese. It is real cheese. There’s no added ingredients. It’s pretty amazing. Just make sure that you reconstitute it according to the directions and then put it in the refrigerator for a while, just in a Ziploc bag. It’s easy. You just wanna make sure to leave it for its full time in the refrigerator. It’s great. We’ve had it on tacos. I’ve made grilled cheese sandwiches with it. It melts. It’s amazing.

Ground Beef

​Ground beef ​is next. This stuff is great. Looks like dog food, I realize, but um, it’s pretty crazy to me that we can store meat with a 25 year shelf. Life doesn’t need refrigeration. That’s amazing to me. This is already precooked, so you could eat it straight out of the can. It’s great when you reconstitute it, brown it in a frying pan. I’ve made just straight up tacos with this and it’s awesome as long as you brown it in a frying pan and I just add my normal taco seasoning to it and it’s amazing. You literally can’t even tell a difference. I love this ground beef.

Instant Black Beans

Next is ​instant black beans​. And these are fine. They’re good. I just buy my canned black beans just in cans from the store and I have a canned rotator, so it is easy for me to rotate those cans. And so that’s how I choose to do it. ’cause it’s just a lot more cost effective. These are good. It’s just the price tag is a little too high for me when I have a can rotator that I can just be rotating cans of black beans in.

**NEW DISCOUNT OPPORTUNITY**

It’s not like the hugest news, but I wanted to pass it along to you…that when you bought a case of something in the past, you would get an additional 5% off. Now they have changed that and you get 5% off if you order just six or more of any same size can same product.

All right, that is a wrap. Those are the ​May Specials​. So as always, let me know if you have any questions.
