Patti Labelle's Pies

MyGirlsMom — Tue, 22 Nov 2016 18:51:55 GMT

I have an Aunt who maybe goes to Walmart once every five years and mentioned to me that she's seen the commercials for Patti Labelle's pies but never had one.

I'm going to see her Friday and my husband bought the one and only pie on the shelf last night. He mentioned that he had to keep it in his hands because there were other customers "circling" and wanted to know where he got it.

Walmart can't keep them on the shelves! LOL

Hi @MyGirlsMom

I've seen the commercial and thought I'd like to get one of those! I imagine the trick is to get to the store early.

DH and I always get pie instead of cakes for holidays, he even requests pie for his birthday. We'll have two for Thanksgiving, pecan pie from a really good baker who is a friend of my daughter, and sweet potato pie from Trader Joe's.

I'm not a fan of sweet potato pie but my family is and I know we couldn't make one at the price she is selling them for.

For a little over $3.00, the pie is delicious.

My sister emailed me this morning that she's doing a Walmart trip and she's bringing one for Thanksgiving. Sweet potato....

My daughter's dormmates used to get Walmart's cream horns when they went shopping. They're good, too.

I just saw one of those pies this morning and I wondered how they were. I myself am getting ready to make a pumpkin pie. I' really looking forward to having a piece with whipped cream. Yum!

Since I already purchased a pumpkin pie at Costco, guess I'll have to make do. Hope all that want to enjoy this pie are able to get one.

Costco's pumpkin pies are famous, I'd forgotten about them. They're delicious and will feed a crowd.

I'm not a lover of pumpkin pie, if it's there I will eat it, if it's not I don't miss it. They are good!

I've only bought one from Costco, years ago. I found out quickly that I'm the only one in the family who likes pumpkin pie. I'm glad you can buy them by the piece at Safeway now, I get just one slice at Halloween.

This is my first time to hear of them as well and have not seen them in the stores. I did see just now on her twitter page she does more than pies. I need to try one after all the calories settle down.

This is on her page appears she makes bundt or pound cakes.

We have had them several times, and my family loves them!!!!!They are sweet, but the crust is so buttery and yummy......They are not real big, so if you are serving a rather large crowd, you will definitely need more than one......

Always wondered if that YouTuber, James Wright,

ever got a $$ cut of sale of those pies. His video went viral last year

around this time and locked down the popularity of this dessert.

This video has over 5,000,000 views....which I'm s.u.r.e.

had a HUGE bearing on the success of this pie.

You're killing me CQ. I just went to Wal-mart this morning before work to get shredded lettuce and a some new potato's. After reading your post I may have to make another unscheduled trip. Probably out of them by now until next week, but oh to look forward to good eats in the very near future. After your description they may be better than the Janies Cakes just down the street from my office that are on Oprah's list this year. So expensive.
