Homemade MRE from World Market 

FYI. You're Wife just called. She had to run back over to World Market. She forgot a few things. She said that you wouldn't mind. 😂😂😂❤🎉🎉

I think this episode should be call Dad over budget adventure.😂

You've got a new MRE classification here. MRE-LE: Meal Ready to Eat - Luxury Edition.

The only way to get out of World Market without breaking the bank is to not grab a basket or cart! Fun video can't wait to see your next adventure.

0% commercials 100% fun to watch! Thanks, dude

Steve referred, lets get this out on a tray. Nice.

Appears Walmart wants you to come back. That’s one of the ads I got.

Throw a ziplock snack or sandwich bag in for snacks in cans. I carried a few different size ziplock in my backpack and found so many unexpected uses for them. Another great episode, thanks.

Just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I’m an ER nurse and after a long stressful day I love to watch your videos to relax and decompress. Keep up the good work!

I'll look back through your videos. I'm 62 years old and I've learned as you get older. At least for me. I can't eat a lot of spicy stuff but I understand when you need food You need food. Really enjoying all the places you go.

You always have interesting items for MRE’s. We do a family circle the wagons (trailer camping) Labor Day weekend on our sons 35 acres this would be a great fun party to do. Thank you for all the videos. Party on!

Y'know, I'm gonna rewatch last week's episode and commercials too!

Not on the same page as making a MRE but I used to come up with food items in department stores when shopping with my late wife. Even in the women’s section of Kohl’s or Dillards I’d see food items I’d imagine as "survival food" in the event you were trapped in the store after hours. Crazy right? Fiji water was everywhere so beverage covered. There were multiple bougie chocolate bars or bites available so désert was covered. Expensive nuts or nut mixes were often there as well. Walk around snack done. I don’t seem to recall much of anything that could be considered an entree or side dish. There would be seasoning mixes and other dry stuffs in the housewares section and usually a microwave or toaster oven on display that could be plugged in to heat things up, if needed. Strange how my mind passed the time while accompanying her on a shopping trip. If you’re ever in the same situation keep your well trained eyes open for these things. You never know when you might be forced to survive in a department store !😂

Hey! I am so glad that you refer to other RU-vidrs like SteveMRE and Luke from the Outdoor Gear Review. Much respect!

I have an emergency ration. There are Goobers which is mixed peanut butter and grape (or strawberry) jelly. The Walmart version is called Stripes, costs about $1 less, grape jelly only and comes in a plastic (Goobers is glass) jar so it won't beak on you. It weighs 16 ounces, has 2,100 calories and 50 grams of protean. Sorta like the WWIII D ration, can be eaten with a spoon, does not really need a drink to consume it. Not a satisfying meal but provides a day's calories in a very small package. Keep these for emergencies like getting really stranded in my truck.

I’m so glad you did this video. I can’t believe I missed it when I was looking at all your vids. Bravo. So glad you bought the nuts in the can. And you picked out the main that I said to myself would be awesome to have.

Good morning, you were so funny about the money, you had me giggling 😂😂 this MRE was a little too bougie for my wallet. Your reaction was entertaining 😂😂😂😂 I didn't see a single ad, just fyi.

Great video as usual, thank you. I have a place in Colorado Springs called Asia Pacific Market. They have a great selection of dried and canned food with good shelf life, and the prices are acceptable. If you have something like it near you, give it a look.

Anything with World in the title, you know you are going to get taken advantage of one way or another. One suggestion on where to try shopping is a home improvement store. Surprisingly the Manards stores have a decent little food section. Lows, Home Depot, Ace Hardware... They always have stuff to be used as snacks or sides but an entree might be difficult to find. ✌️

I love that place , I wish we had one where we live .

The herb is probably lemongrass (or maybe galangal?). sweetened condensed milk would probably really help that thai tea.

Dad you've made me interested in trying that type of soup, if I like them I'll take some camping. I had ads to start and ads in the middle. And tell Mum happy mother's day ❤

If a commercial comes on, I promise I'll watch it sir!

Ads...check. I watch ads except those that are over 2 minutes long like those 9 minute infomercials...lol. Another great MRE. Thanks for sharing! 😊

I discovered your channel back when you had less than 2k subscribers. I’ve been very impressed with how you have evolved your content and interjection of humor. Your presentation skills are great and your delivery is fantastic. I appreciate your honesty, dedication, and preparation of your content. I know some might say this sounds like a love letter but it’s not 😂 I just think it’s important to share honest feedback with content creators when it is deserved. Very few creators take the time to read and respond to comments and I hope you can continue keep up with your channel growth. New challenge - MRE from a gas station convenience store. We don’t have Buckees here, but I’ve seen a video on shopping there for backpacking food. 7-11 might also be a good challenge. Until next week, cheers 😊

Watched the 5 min More Beer video, but I am a home brewer so it was good info. I also worked the Albuquerque Balloon Festival last year (Bike Valet Parking), had a blast and am going to work it again this year. And you are right, Sister and Brother In-Law live there and they put hatch chilies on lots of stuff.

Thanks again! Got a World Market nearby, gonna have to get me one of those chocolate bars. That place is a little $$, but things you may not find elsewhere. I thought of another place to venture to, Tractor Supply Co.

I sat through two commercials for you. I don't even slow down while driving past World Market. Maybe I should find a co-signer for a loan and try them again. But a good video. That hatch Chili chocolate bad is pretty darned tempting! Glad everything came together and you didn't go into Chapter 11over a bum MRE.

I so need you to go to an HEB. I cannot imagine how much fun you'd have with their "My Cup Of" teas, or their nut mixes, or their quick-fix soups. And HEB has Hatch chile *everything*

I am grateful for all you share with homemade mre’s but I stay away from that store. 🤣. We are looking at hurricane season going to go back through some of your videos for inspiration thank you

Man, THAT is dedication to your channel. For me, going to World Market is a once or twice a year thing specifically to pick up just a couple of things I can't find anywhere else. I know you have already done a Big Lots MRE for the channel - or maybe even a couple - but just FYI in case you might just want to try them (if they are still stocked) Big Lots used to sell - and maybe still do - Indian dishes that came in a cardboard box/sleeve with a retort pouch inside like your soup came in. They are vegetarian so I prefer to add meat but they are very good - I think they are better than any, similar things I have gotten elsewhere. I need to get by there and see if they still have them.

Well done Sir, I think I would enjoy all of those items. Remembering my last green chili cheeseburger.

Just commenting for the algorithm to help this guy out iv also felt the sting of world market prices 😂

For things that come in cans like that, might be worth tracking down some bulk silicone can covers to toss in with those MRE's. Usually work pretty well and betting there are other ways you could use them on top of using them to re-seal or put a top on a can.

Another great video DBA. Thanks for sharing it, we really enjoyed it. JT

DBA: How about putting together a few different accessory packs? Could contain various spices, drinks, condiments, hygiene items, mints, gum, fire, your imagination would find a cool mix of things.

World Market also has so many fun “morale” kind of items you could throw in. Always fun to walk around ours when we have time to kill while we’re out. Prince of Peace Thai Tea mixes are pretty nice to carry… Has all the cream and sugar in one packet sort of like some of the instant coffee pouches do.

This one is pretty cool. Thank you

Interesting choices from World Market Better half and I go there for the HoneyComb Chocolates. Can you do a breakfast MRE without using Pop tarts? Would love to see your take on that. Thank you for the interesting meal ideas and keep up the great work.

Hey here's a challenge carnivore mre. I just started a carnivore diet 1 week ago. So carnivore diet is any meats, butter or animal fat, dairy like hard cheese. There are other things but they are perishable type items. The drink can be just water or some black coffee. And you may have to pass on the dessert.

I was about to write I didn't see any ads in the video, but after the video was over i watched one play. Thank you for the video I appreciate you.

Have you considered a series where you make MRE’s that don’t have the same rules you use for these videos? Maybe give yourself the freedom to use a camping cook set. See what kind of meals you can make using only shelf stable ingredients. For example, making chicken tacos with canned chicken or something like that.

There are chili recipes that include chocolate. So going on that thae Hatch Chili Chocolate should be great!

Great video! The spicy nuts were a cool addition, very nostalgic! And the the main looked delicious too. I was so excited to see you went to World Market I watched 2 commercials and shared the video! You did great, it makes me want to go wonder around world market and see all of their treasures!

Hit Jungle Jims in Fairfield OH.

I Love watching your videos. They are very informative and entertaining. Maybe you could make one that is not with hot spicy food though I can't eat any of that. I would love to see one that's just kind of plain. Maybe plain rice and peanut butter something like that I guess. Maybe I missed those. Maybe you've already posted those before.

It's not our fault that you took the wife in with you is it. Adverts watched and you are actually inspiring me to try out a HMMRE. Good video sir 👍

Love the chocolate and chili combo. I once made hot chocolate using a Lindt chili chocolate bar. Added a dash of cinnamon for some extra zing :)

really enjoy your channel. I do want to start looking around the supermarkets here in the UK to try and put together some MREs ( or 24 hour ration packs to us older Brits)

i know your probably not planning to end up back in ABQ new mexico anytime soon but if you do it would be interesting to watch you try to make an MRE from the store john brooks. it use to be a very popular grocery store here and now we only have one. it would be great to see the shop get some love. as usual i love your videos and i hope you have a good day.

Typhoon is great tea if you get a chance try it.

I bet you would have a great time doing an MRE from Rural King.

"There's things in there I can't identify." I sure hope that can was really sealed! Those "things" might wiggle or crawl.😂

Ethnic food stores, gas stations, and 7&11

Always happy to see another vid coming out and enjoyed it as always. I propose a challenge. Gas/Service Station MRE. As I've worked in and managed one before, let's drop the 12 month down to a 6 month shelf life. I hope the ones in the US have as much as the ones in Australia. Ours are like small supermarkets these days, particularly in the state I live in.

When I worked doing deliveries during the winter time, we would put our lunch over the defrost vents and cover it with rags or a shirt with the heat on blast.

I have a World Market here where I live... I haven't been in YEARS, but recently put it on my list of places to explore. Thankfully I'm not married... 🤣 🍻

I have never been in a world market and their prices are why. I can be a food nerd without having to take out a personal loan for groceries. I will admit little cans of nut mix are dope.

Seventeen minutes or so in and there hasn't been any ads save for at the beginning and I watch em all by default for channels that I like and aren't big money sponsored channels. If I happen to fall asleep, even better because it just keeps playing the vids with ads.

I learned something new! Those things are called retort pouches? Dad: I am gonna dig into this lunch! Retort pouch: Over my dead body! Dad: 😳 Bad dad jokes comg along with the budget adventures, right?

No ads seen on my end. Yes, I recommended World Market. You should have plenty of ideas ready for the charcuterie MRE. I bet the wife was excited.

Is it true that World Market doesn’t have a Customer Service desk because they replaced it with a Finance Department? 😂

🤣🤣 You had me laughing out loud. Thanks. I'm not much into shopping, but I can see getting drawn in at a place with neat, novel stuff. Usually my weakness is a grocery store with different foods over my usual grocery store. I can make that credit card groan. Maybe this will throw a few pennies your way. I'm playing this video on my smart tv via hubs account, and on my laptop thought my account. Letting ads play. Loving your bougie MRE. I LOVE spicy chocolate. Peppers and chocolate pair so well. Fun thing to look for.. Do you remember pop rocks? I tried a couple of brands with that it in. One of them incorporating both the popping candy and a spicy pepper in a base of dark chocolate. So good. I need to try that hatch bar. Once a year I order fresh frozen hatch chilis peppers. That'll be coming up in July. Mmmm Definitely will be checking out the other vid

Vegemite is something that would be useful from World Market and will last some time can used on cracker or survival bread. Salty snack filled with high B vitamin content. Jar will last a long tine. Its used by spreading really thin because its strong.

I saw two ads! This was a fun one! I’m wondering if the rice would soften a bit if you put your sauce over it and then let it sit a few minutes while you ate your soup first?

when my kids were young we would play a game and pick up something from the store we had never tried before so n that note would you consider maybe trying to make an MRE from an Asian food mart or from foods you have never ate before? could make for interesting viewing thanks

Nice

Such great content vary addictive had to subscribe..❤❤😂😅

LOL…. I feel your pain!

When will you update the Stanley chuck box? That video will be a hit. If you build it, they will come…😉

Well isn't one for me but I'm glad you enjoyed it.

With the cost of this meal, I would write it off and an entertainment expense 😂. Great adventure

Hey dude, how about making one from Piggly Wiggly. Keep making content.

It is so funny to see you post this today. I was one of the ones who suggested this to you. I was at World Market yesterday and picked up about $50.00 in snack foods and thought to myself that I should plan and send you an MRE to try😂

Spice wimp here, I'll stick to regular chocolate and mains. 😁 I love World Market, but my husband does not, lol. I don't know why he doesn't like it..🤔🤣

My favorite part of the videos is when I can go "heh, I found those too" Today's was the Thai Tea. I also bought small packets of Condensed Milk to go in the tea. Yeah, World Market is too upscale...

Good video. We have a World Market in the same mall as the Wal-Mart market.

Check out home goods or Marshall’s I feel like they have a super strange food selection might find some stuff with some good luck

You should do more stand up comedy.

Commenting for the algorithm, to help pay for this video 😅

Hi from Argentina, I suggested Mexican, Texan, Thai , Chinese food. Do you find these at the World Market? Ups😢

I’m thinking that putting a pouch of tuna in the soup would make it a meal in itself.

Looks like I will save visiting this place until after I win Powerball

What about a Target?

It was difficult to see the small "stick" on your finger but I think it was tamarind. Beautiful Bride and mother-in-law often make a tamarind soup for our table and we will find small bits that appear much like the unidentified item you displayed. That seasoning is common here in SE Asia.

Have you tried Ollie’s yet?

Hi DBA. It's not clear to me. When you were at World Market, did you spend much money? On a serious note, I didn't know World Market was still in business. The one near me also closed years ago.

Where can I find the review you did on the canned omelet you got from World Market?

Thank you it was very interesting. I love chocolate with spice. Have you done any International Stores? Like Global Foods or H-Mart?

So out of curiosity how does skipping the longer advertisements hurt creators? Do creators get paid a extra amount if we suffer through the extra long advertisements?

Didnt have any commercials 😢 would have watched if they appeared. Comment for the algorithm

The lesson I learned from this video is to prep your MRE's from Walmart and to save World Market for looting after the Zombie Apocalypse. Your challenge now is to go back to Walmart and prepare an MRE which costs as much as World Market and compare the gourmet quality.

So let's go more expensive (and probably a bit hard, since you can't get single serve items.) Costco, Sam's, BJ's or another wholesale club... but your wife must go with you!

LOL, I pay for membership, so I have no idea how much you get when I watch. I don't get ads.

You came to Nashville and you didn't even call me? hahahaha Didn't know you lived relatively close to Nashville.

So I didn't get any ads but that's because I have youtube premium, so the ad money still is coming to you!

I may have missed this in the other videos, but where do you get the silver bags from. Would like to do my own and be able to watch the sodium and sugar contents of my meals for camping and other outdoor activities.

To me a good MRE contains breakfast ,lunch and dinner. Toilet paper, napkin,wet wipe,pork and butter knife

I left with a shopping cart full of candy bars. Yes, I had a second mortgage

never know what you will come up with for a meal
