Default Winco has Jiffy mixes!

For some reason, they never show up on product locators but it could be
because, like Costco, you never know for sure what they will stock. In the
past I have bought Tillamoos and big bags of hard boiled eggs. But those
are no longer. Same for the Sopes or Sopitos or whatever they were.

Anyway... Decided to go down the baking aisle and there were the brownies.
Also saw various cake mixes, muffins and other things. Didn't see the icing
but really didn't look for it.

So I stand corrected. You can get those things here. Just apparently not
most of the things, anywhere but there.

Yes, that's right, they are, good of you to admit to this. even though with a qualifier.

Why is it wrong? You could get a bag for about $3 and there were well over
a dozen eggs in here. I don't remember the exact amount. Would be great
for someone who wanted a lot of egg salad or deviled eggs right away. Or
for a person who had no way of cooking eggs.

We've had to live for extended periods of time with no means of cooking. I
used to buy boiled eggs by the dozen in PA. Sure those cost a little more
than uncooked eggs, but the ones at Winco did not. They do fill a need. And
they taste just like the eggs you make at home. They're just eggs!

I can get a dozen eggs at the 99cent store for 99cents

I'm having no trouble thinking of better things to spend my money on if
I have no way to cook...like a portable stove

Okay. Well we have no such store here. The Dollar Tree sometimes has eggs
for a dollar. But I'm not often out that way.

And then you'd need a pan. I wouldn't fork out money for such things if
staying in motel, temporarily.

Husband was in the military and we made several cross country moves. Once,
it took them 3 months to get our housing ready. Part of that time was spent
with my inlaws, part of it at inlaws cabin with only a microwave. That stay
was cut short when a man walked in at night, frightening me, and then also
the mice. BIL was he one who used it for fishing. The man was his friend
but I didn't know him. He had assumed that my BIL was in there. Nope. And
no, the back door wasn't locked. Not even sure it had a lock on it.

Some military families do travel with extra pots, pans, dishes and utensils
but we never did. Would just take up too much room in the vehicles and I've
got no problem eating cold foods off of paper plates.

there's a slew of them on I5 from Eugene to Bellingham, isn't that
somewhat close to you?

technically, you could cook by placing meats/vegies in foil on your cars
motor...although I'll concede that wouldn't necessarily be the best way
to make hard boiled eggs

I rather suspect that Julie's husband and daughter refuse to peel eggs
themselves, and Julie doesn't like to do it because it's messy, and
then there are the bits of shell to deal with in the compost
container. Besides, the shells don't come off properly and all of the
eggs end up being mangled. And then someone will scream at her about
it.

But don't some of us on here feel like screaming at her and occasionally do. I suspect the screaming in real life is warranted.

Well we wouldn't put up with it but then we are not her. Until we have
walked a mile in her shoes ....
I don't really think she needs more of it from us

Oh, c'mon. You don't really buy that do you? She exaggerates what
they do just like she exaggerates everything else.

Oh really? And how would *you* prevent someone from screaming at you? You

Nope. Lately they mostly scream at each other!

I have an egg intolerance. It's so bad that if my skin comes into contact
with eggs, I get a nasty rash. So I try not to mess with them. They will
occasionally eat deviled eggs but neither one eats plain boiled ones very
often at all. Perhaps one or two around Easter time. At the time that I
bought those, daughter was on South Beach and I thought they would be good
for her to eat but she refused to try them.

Prior to learning of my egg intolerance, I have bough boiled eggs in smaller
quantities and for more money.

Perhaps you don't have Winco where you're at. But these sold for about $3 a
bag and there were more than a dozen eggs in there. So no more expensive
than buying raw eggs, even at Winco's cheap prices. You can get a huge bag
of cheese cubes too. I learned not to buy those though because while cheap,
we can't eat them all before they go bad.

Winco sells some things in restaurant sized proportions. Not everything,
but a lot of things give you that option. And their prices are akin to
Smart and Final/Cash and Carry, or in some cases cheaper. But in some cases
higher. Like loaves of bread.

Not everyone can. As I said in the reply to Mal, we've lived for extended
periods of time with no means of cooking. In hotels or motels or in a cabin
in PA. It did have a microwave but I don't think you can boil eggs in them.
