And what about pas yisroel on all those items listed?

Walmart has parbaked baguettes and ciabatta bread that you finish baking at home, so it becomes pas. Has an OU. Maybe says "take and bake" on it

Do AYLOR about this, because apparently there may be a machlokes on the definition of parbaked and at what point it becomes a problem of pas yisrael.

The package says to bake it for 8-10 minutes before using. It's not edible before baking it at home

FWIW we do not hold that toasting an English muffin or heating a tortilla makes them pas. It has to be finishing the product or a significant improvement

Walmart is definitely cheaper than Costco for sugar and eggs, at least lately. And you can't get $2 real baking pans from Costco or Amazon.

I doubt it. Call whatever hechsher is on it to find out for sure. Usually, MOST breads and mezonos are not pas/bishul Yisrael. Every once in a while, like a needle in a haystack there are products that are, or products coming from certain locations that are and are indicated by a specific code. Friends in the know, that work at Kashrus agencies, can be a very useful resource for this!

Their eggs are far from cheap

I just purchased 2 cases of eggs from Walmart last week that were $18 for 5 dozen. Cheaper for me to get that delivered to my front door then to drive around and try to find a place where I can get them for less.

Speaking of Walmart, I decided to buy their 1.99 small-medium loaf pans since I spend a ton on disposables when I make challah.

Now I've been making challah for close to 2 decades and have developed my own recipe based on my family's preferences. After making my last batch in these pans for the first time, dh said "honey I didn't think your challah could get any better but for some reason this week it's even more amazing than usual."

So I guess I recommend their loaf pans?

Link to the pans?

I find this thread pretty funny because I live OOT and I've been shopping all these items at Walmart for more than 10 years. I recently started shopping around at other stores because their prices have gone up significantly and I don't find them cheap anymore Sad

Are you guys shopping in store or online? I imagine the prices aren't the same in store as online.

Aldi for some things (we don't keep CY) and Kroger has great sales. I hate shopping around, and refused to do it for years, but I can't afford the prices anymore and have no choice at this point

True, a lot of the products are still cheaper than other stores. But I used to only shop Walmart and nowhere else. Now I'll do Aldi one week, kroger the next week, Walmart the week after...so I can stock up on different items that are cheaper in those stores

How does Aldi compare to Walmart?
I was just there and couldn't figure out if certain items were cheaper at Aldi - like chips, oatmeal, cereal...
