Ordered From Wal Mart

Love my grandkids — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 21:56:28 GMT

I normally can find anything I need or want at our local Safeway but lately the Nissin Chicken Flavor Cup o Noodles have all been gone, due to delivery problems.

So the middle of last week, just for the heck of it, I tried WM and found a 6 pack of them for just about the same price I pay at the store and they only charged local tax, no shipping! There isn't one nearby and when I lived in So. Cal. the one on the east end of Torrance was such a pig sty we never went back.

So nice to see I could get this and I may be a future WM customer. Delivery is next Wednesday. Taking a bit of time but I'm in no hurry.

I usually keep a few boxes of those in the house for a quick meal and I haven't seen them at Walmart in months. I've been getting them at Bashas (local store).

I enjoys Hormel Compleat shelf stable dinners in the chicken Alfredo flavor but couldn't get them on pick-up. I too ordered a dozen to be shipped. Arriving today or tomorrow FedEx. Never ordered from them before.

Walmart curbside grocery pickup in my area has had a 4-5 day wait for an appointment since Thanksgiving. I've switched to a regional supermarket that always has same day pickup. But a lot of items are out of stock with no substitutions available.

We order our bulk items from Sams and with their Executive(?)membership delivery is free and comes within a couple of days ( we're 2 hrs from nearest Sams). Sams has really helped us during the Pandemic.

@Kachina624 I like those and always have some on hand. Most a beef, gravy and mashed potatoes and one is chicken. I think they're quite good.

@Love my grandkids I doctor them up a bit and they cook in 1 minute. They're just enough for me and the dogs love licking the little plastic dish. Quick and easy.

You gals are lucky to be able to eat these items. I'd have plenty if I could eat them and not worry about my hbp. Especially soup. I miss eating soup and having the cup o noodles too. I used to love eating them when it gets cold out.

@Kachina624 @Love my grandkids , I ate them just as they were. Really good to have in the cupboard.

Too much salt.

I'm going to stick my nose in and make a suggestion if you love soup, but not with all the salt.

I buy unsalted stock at the store and add my own vegetables depending on what I feel like. I normally have chopped broccoli on hand, but peas and carrots or anything will work.

If you like noodles, you can cook some and add those.

That way, you can enjoy soup, but not with all the salt.

I make it a cup at a time and love it.

Those Compleat meals were perfect for my mom; I would order a dozen or more for her every month with my Wal-Mart order.

Sadly, she no longer remembers how to use the microwave, so we carry in, and deliver fast food meals to her now.

you can buy low sodium soups , no salt cans of vegetables. I accidentally bought one 1 time and threw in trash, but, I learned to look at all labels.

low salt or no salt added lunch meat, turkey, chicken, etc. I eat lay's 50% less sodium chips too. Rufffles would strangle a croc

I can't remember if I ever tried the cup o' noodles, but one similar type thing I generally keep a few of on hand (in L&L they stay fresh for a very long time), is the Top Ramen (or Maruchan brand - same deal) type thing.

I really like them very much and sometimes, especially if it's cold, it's the perfect meal for me. Boil a small amt of water and three minutes later it's dinner!

My thing with that, also, is that I probably put about half as much water. It's about an inch in a 1qt pot. I know these are probably high in sodium, so they would not be a good choice for many, but I love the salty, savory unctuousness of it. TMK, I don't have a sodium problem and I don't eat them often.

I have been buying the Lay's 50% less sodium chips and really enjoy them as do others because I'M seeing they are sold out before other chips .

I also enjoy the Hormel Chicken Alfredo Complete Dinner and see others must like that one in my area ,as that one is sold out in my stores.

True they are high in sodium but if I know I am going to have one for dinner I just watch what I eat earlier so I don't go over my limit of sodium,seems to be working for me.

@Witchy Woman thanks so much for the tip. I never even bothered to look down the aisle for this stuff from prior experience with it (when I wasn't watching sodium intake). I will definitely look into this to make my own soups. I do see that there a lower sodium soup options, but it's not low enough for me to eat.

@Mimi NY I dibble and dabble like this with my menu too. I will never have one meal that has more than half of my daily recommended daily allowance for sodium though. I will do half of that. For instance if a frozen lasagna serving has 1020mgs of sodium per serving I won't buy that. I don't do it because most people eat waaaay more than the suggested portion size. At least I know I do....LOL

@gertrudecloset

I have found even the low sodium soups are too salty for me.

I stopped adding salt to anything MANY years ago and seek out low or salt free options in just about anything. People think they can never adjust, but I find EVERYTHING is too salty for me now.

Just today, I picked up several cartons of NO SALT vegetable stock, but they have chicken and beef no salt stock at most stores.

It's my preference now. I hope you can experiment and find something to your liking. I love a cup of soup any time of day!
