Wal Mart's brand. Anyone know if the Great Value brand buns quit putting out the 16 count pkg.'s of hamburger buns ?

 

I haven't been able to find them since Feb.

Used to be they would only bring in 4 pkg's down in the right lower corner of the GV buns.  We go thru buns hands over fist. LOL

 

I guess big families are hoarding them now. I'll be so glad when people go back to work and kids go back to school.

 

Even in here, now, the website has slowed down takes forever to get around in here. So many people don't have jobs I guess.

What buns?  Do you mean hamburger buns?  I rarely buy them so I don't pay much attention to them.  They come in 8 packs so just buy more of those.

 

I guess I don't see the issue.  Also, didn't you complain that you didn't like GV bread a while back?  I don't like it either so I would guess their buns would be equally poor in quality?  

 

You bake a lot.  Ever try making your buns?

no, don't make hamburger or hot dog buns when you can buy them for 89 cents. for 8 packs.

 

like the 16 packs takes up less space in the freezer.

@SharkE 

I never have good luck when I freeze hamburger buns. Ice crystallizes in the bag, and the buns have a "freezer taste" when I thaw them out.  Exactly how do you freeze yours?

Just make sure the air is out of sack

twist the twist tie really tight

 

take out however many you need while froze, put in, zip lock baggy and let thaw out in bag.

 

Usually take out enough for just the 2 of us in the morning, thawed out at room temp by 11-1200 noon

@shoesnbags  while you wait for the Sharke to swim back around and answer

your question....have you tried double wrapping your bread/buns before

freezing?  I save my bread/bun bags to use them to double wrap and I haven't

had any problem with freezer taste or ice.
