From past discussions I know there are Wise Cheez Waffies fans here. For
some they are difficult to find, especially west of the Mississippi. Today
I stopped in Big Lots! just to see what could be found; what I found was
Cheez Waffies, $1.80 for a 5 ounce bag and, I'm west of the Mississippi.

If you're a Cheez Waffies fan and in a community served by Big Lots!, you
may want to see if your store has them. Even if you can normally find Jay's
Cheese Wheels (same snack, different name), the Big Lots! deal is worth
pursuing; Jay's are normally $2.79 for a 4 ounce bag - almost twice the
price.

Guess we will head to Big Lots real soon. Thanks for the heads up.

Wow, that's a great price. I'm going to have to swing over that way
and see if they have any, I was just thinking I haven't had those
in some time. Thanks!

Made a run for Big Lots but none were to be found here in my little
town. Will keep looking.

I've never seen these things before and that's good because I'd probably
be stuffing my big pie hole with these cheez sandwiches all day if I
ever got my grubby paws on a bag.

I was at Big Lots on Sat. and didn't notice any but the stock was waaaay
down. Don't know if all Big Lots did this but mine had the entire store 20%
off for card carriers. As you can imagine, they were swamped!

I've probably seen them but never bought. I lived briefly in Berwick PA,
home of the Berwick bow and ribbon factory. For about a month before
Christmas, the main street through the town is all decorated with animated
Christmas scenes. We would drive down it. The drive could take about an
hour because the vehicles go slow and traffic gets backed up very badly.
Some years, people from the Berwick bow and ribbon company will be there,
throwing things in your open windows. Usually excess stock of ribbon which
is most likely not in Christmas colors. Then at the end of the displays
will be Santa who will give you Wise products. Most years it was just a bag
of chips but one year they too had excess product and the van that my BIL
was driving was filled with all sorts of chips! The type of product you'd
get would vary each time you went through.

If it were politically correct to say such a thing, I'd call them the crack
of snacks. But, it isn't and I won't. 8-)

Sounds like a pretty good Xmas. I like things thrown into my car,
especially sealed salty snacks. It's like a parade except the onlookers
are the ones moving down the street and goodies get thrown into the
vehicles instead of from vehicles. It's brilliant!

There is no other explanation of their appeal, they must be
putting something in that bright orange cheese.

Small town, about 5 miles to Big Lots behind some idiot who was
driving 35 in a 55 zone. No passing area. Didn't take too long to
see that they did not have any.

What is politically incorrect about saying that? All you have done is
betray your perception of a certain minority.

Yeah, it really is fun! When we are there, we try to go through there a
time or two.

In my part of CA, CVS pharmacies carry Wise snacks. I don't know if they
have Waffies but they have had their cheese puffs. They weren't as
addictive as Cheetos.

OK, yer talking about what I was thinking of, Old London cheese

least 2 decades. To die for.

Just a couple of bags because I already had Cheese Wheels in the pantry.
They only had about a case total. I may go back in a few days and pickup a
few more; Big Lots is not far off my normal grocery shopping route.

I bought food there for a while but now am getting leery. Bought something
for daughter that she didn't like. Some kind of beans. Some Mexican rice.
Both not good. Refried beans that were not bad but not good either and
certainly not cheaper than what I can get in the grocery store. And salsa
that was so foul tasting, I threw it out.

Yep. An interesting point: the last time I bought Old London cheese
crackers, they were available in two flavors, cheddar and bleu cheese.
Both were equally awesome and I bought several of each.

I don't recall a blue cheese flavor but recall a swiss in addition to the
cheddar.

The first waffies I ever had were Old London, in the late-50s. They came
stacked in a tall round can.

I'm adventuresome and thrift-minded. I have discovered many foods, often
ethnic, that I would have never found elsewhere. Pickled tomatoes, peppers,
etc. A variety of Mexican sauces, beans and other things that aren't
normally sold here in the midwest. Almost every time I visit Big Lots! I
find something interesting to try; I don't always like them, but there
always something new to try.

From a thrift standpoint, many of the items they have are manufacturers and
other stores/chains overstocks. I always look for DelMonte No Sugar Added
canned fruit and buy cases of peaches and pears when available; usually less
than $1/can vs. $1.40 elsewhere. The same with other things I would
normally buy; Bob's Red Mill products, cereals, etc.

I've been buying there for years; I have tried a few things I didn't like
but never bought anything that was "bad" - as in spoiled, past its prime,
etc. When you set out to try new things, you should expect some won't
care for - otherwise, your not being adventuresome.

That's why I love to shop at Big Lots; you see off brands you never see in regular supermarkets. I was in there a few months back and saw Argo brand canned vegetables, which is something I had not seen since I was a kid. I thought the Argo brand was long since gone. Also, they have lots of off brands of potato chips and soft drinks.

I regularly see brands I haven't seen in years, many regional products I
recall from childhood growing up in western Kentucky; one example from my
most recent visit was Old Dutch Cleanser. If it is sold elsewhere around
here (STL), it is somewhere I never shop. Also brands of soft drinks; on a
recent visit I picked up Dog 'n Suds, Dad's and Frostie Root Beer. Frostie
was a favorite from my youth, not seen around here since the late 60s.
Sure wish I could score som Double Cola 8-)

My favorite odd score from Big Lots! was a few years back; Kellogg's Corn
Flakes where all the writing (except the fine print) was in a foreign
language (arabic, I think). The box graphics were all exactly as they found
in US supermarkets, so, it was easy to tell what it was.

That's pretty cool. I would buy that just for the different writing. I
have a can of "Popeye" spinach that I bought just because of the cool
cartoon pic of Popeye on the label. When I finally eat the spinach,
I'll probably wash and save the can. :-D

I remember my mom bought a can of Popeye spinach when I was a little
girl. My brother (he would have been about age 12) was a big fan of the
Popeye cartoons so of course he had to have some Popeye spinach! It
wasn't as yummy as he thought it would be. LOL

I'll buy the *occasional* can of turnip greens or collard greens.
However, I can't abide canned spinach, and I *love* spinach! Frozen
beats canned hands down. Of course, YMMV.

Like you, I like fresh spinach (or at least frozen). That goes for any
vegetable. I rarely buy canned but I couldn't resist the cool cartoon
pic. I bought it for the label, not the ingredients. :-D

I figured. :-D That's what made my brother insist on the canned
spinach. How's that for marketing? You might be better off not opening
that can. In 20 years, sell it on eBay. Mint condition! (teasing)

I buy the Popeye chopped spinach when I see it. Saves dirtying the food
processor. Walmart has it sometimes. The only chopped brand I've seen.

Rather depends though on freezer space as opposed to canned space. I
agree canned spinach is different. I grew up on it as a side noshe
from a can and like it but then I never claimed to be normal (grin).

I usually use spinach mixed in with other food, like a casserole. If I
ate plain spinach I might prefer canned whole leaf or frozen.

Try sauteeing some fresh spinach in a little mild olive oil with
garlic. It wilts down to nothing though so you have to start with a 50
gallon leaf bag full to end up with 2 servings.

That's heaven on a plate, Gary.

KenK, it's also part of a delicious meal with meat because it's one of
those perfect accompaniments to a nice steak (buy one on sale and
grill it in your cast iron pan). Bake a potato and you're all set.
Bake a big potato, eat half with your steak & sautéed spinach and turn
the other half into a twice-baked potato for another meal. If you're
still in a meat mood, buy a couple slices of bacon from the butcher
section of your grocery store to fry up and crumble on top of your
twice baked potato.
