LC shopping spree
 

Yeahhh, the Super Walmart here just got in a ton of LC things.

There was the carb smart milk in skim, whole, and 2%. I didn't get those though. Going to try to stick to induction for abit.

I did get some pantry stable things though for after :D They are carrying Soy Slender now !!!!

I also found some Low Carb Gernola. 29g total carbs with a whopping 25g of fiber. That should start some regularity ;p I also found some LC cake and cookie mixes, and best of all, no sugar alcohols! I bought the chocolate cake mix, carrot cake mix, and snickerdoodle cookie mix.

I also got a chocolate hot cereal for the morning, and a pie crust mix for thanks giving :) There was a ton more of things there, but I have to have some moderation ;) I may get the LC bisciuts for Thanksgiving, I really didn't have any on the menu.

My local WM is going Super after the first of the year, and all I can say is: I CAN'T WAIT!!

I am starting to be able to find a few more LC things in regular grocery stores, but some of the prices are just insane! I LOVE bread... but I'll be danged if I am gonna pay $3.00 a loaf for a one pound loaf! Not ME!

So I'm hoping that SWM will beat the prices of the LC stuff I've found so far :)

Not in time for the holidays this year... but we'll LC it with what we can get now :)

What is the brand name of that granola...or what does the package look like?
I am constantly looking for more fiber..lol
Sounds yummy with a little cream

I think the brand name on the Granola and the mixes is MiniCarb. I've seen the brand online, just don't remember where.

$3.00 a loaf isn't bad. I saw some shelf stable bread online that was $6.00 a loaf. Of course buying from most places online looks cheap, until you read bread needs special overnight shipping and you will end up paying at least $10 more for that :P

I don't have too much of a problem with bread, since I don't eat more than 2 or 3 slices a week. I buy Nauture's Own, and it has about 7 net carbs per slice...and it's realistically priced.
But cereal has been a different story, most of them having so many carbs and sugars you might as well be eating donuts for breakfast! Thanks for the info about Minicarb. It will definitely be something I look for on my next trip to Walmart.

Lady,
139!!!!! Congratulations on crossing to the 130's. I've been watching your stats because I've also been on 140 for a while. The scale said 139 yesterday... but 140 again today.

Your post hit home because I did the same thing last week. I found this new section with all these "goodies" and I did spend quite a bit, too. I did get the granola, it's ok, not something I would buy again, though. I also got the Ross chocolates, I always wanted to try them but never ordered through the Internet. I liked them TOO much, so I won't be buying them for a while. They still don't carry the Carb Countdown milk.
Let me know how you like the chocolate hot cereal. I'm tired of spending tons on stuff that I don't like.

Be careful on the Ross chocoaltes. Usually sugar alcohols don't bother me, at least ther Hershey didn't or the Atkins endulge PB cups. The Ross white chocolate though gave me horrid cramping and gas. I was so excited to find white chocolate too, I had been craving it. Reeces came out with special edition white and dark chocolate PB cups. I want to try them so bad. Curiosity gets me in trouble way more often then cravings :\

I had been down around 139.5, until my overendulgence last week. I went up to 143 again :P One day on induciton and I was back to 139.5, then today 138.5 Yeahhhhh :cheer:

My Super Wal-Mart has done the same thing...I bought a box of Mini-Carb Biscuit Mix. Haven't tried it yet, though. I wonder if the Cake mix can be used to make Doughnuts...

Has anyone tried the mini carb carrot cake? I picked that up at WalMart and I think it has 4 grams per serving. I have been buying the Carb Countdown milk there also and its VERY GOOD in my opinion, as is the Chocolate flavor also. I didnt see the Granola. Which section did you find that in? The russel stover chocolates are delicious. I buy the box that has the individual small wrapped chocolates in it. I snack on them throughout the day. Today they had sampling going on with the Le Carb ice cream. That was ecspecially good also.

I bought the carrot cake as well as the chocolate. Havn't tried either yet. So hard to behave. I picked up some of the minicarb rolls for thanksgiving dinner. I hope they taste good, not like soy chips :P

I didn't see the chocolate carb milk. Not sure if I will get some later or stick to soy slender.

Im going to fix the carrot cake this week and Ill let you know how it is. The box has a recipe for the icing. Looks very simple. Hope it is as good as Publix carrot cake. They have the absolute best! If you get a chance buy the chocolate hood carb countdown milk. It really is great!

Overall it's not a bad buy! I used to spend $20-$25 a month at the bread store. Now I buy 2-3 LC loaves a month ($6-$9), so in the long run it's a real bargain! LOL

I've been wanting to try the chocolate Carb Countdown but everytime I'm at WalMart it's gone! I buy the regular for the girls, though, and have a little occasionally. I just wish they had forgotten the sweetener in it!

I buy around 3 loaves a month for myself. I buy the dh and kids the regular bread. The chocolate low carb milk has only 3 carbs also. As much as I LOVE milk I can definitely deal with that.

I've been experimenting with the low carb bread recipes in the kitchen forum. Some of them are real good and They cost way less. :)

I tried making bread with the atkins bake mix. I dont think I did it correct because it was horrible. What recipes have you tried that are good, and are they lower in carbs per slice than the Atkins loaf bread?

I tried the Atkins bread machine mix. It came out raw in the middle and flat as a pancake :P I think it may be the high altatude or something, not sure.

I didnt like the taste of the Atkins Bread Mix. I really do like the taste of the loaf bread though. I wonder if the bread mix is suppossed to turn out like the loaf bread. I think Ill just stick to the loaf. Unless of course theres a good recipe out there with fewer carbs than 3 a slice(thats how many carbs are in a slice of the loaf bread).

The MiniCarb Apple Cinnamon Low-Carb Granola by CarbSense is really, really good. I had some with the Carb Countdown dairy product, which has more of a powdered milk aftertaste than I like--but you can't really tell that by eating in on cereal or the granola.

I've been getting the bread made by Arnold. It comes in 3 styles...wheat...whole grain and one other. It is in the regular bread section in the supermarket. 4 grams of net carbs and tastes like real bread. I keep mine in the freezer and just take out what I need. It seems to last a long time. Makes great BLT's and egg salad sandwiches as well as good toast...

We've got a super walmart here. Could anyone tell me where they keep the low carb products.. I looked all over and couldn't find anything... help...

Does Walmart have all their low carb goodies on one special section, or are they with their hi-carb counterparts?

I just came from Wal Mart to stock up on my low carb goodies. They have some low carb bars in the pharmacy area , but they have a special area specifically set aside for low carb stuff where the nuts, beef jerky and stuff like that are. I think the potatoe chips are on that aisle also.

Here there is a section called Diet and Nutrition. There is aslo ATkins products such as steak sauce in with the rest of the steak sauces. The LC milk is with the dairy, and the icecream is in the icecream section.

Our Superwalmart just started carrying them like a week ago. It could be your SW doesn't have them yet. Call and ask to speak with the manager of grocery on the weekdays. Talk to them about if there are low carb selections or plans to start carrying them like the other Walmarts.

The Walmart in Casper (about 3 hour drive form here) had Atkins Endulge Icecream bars that were peanut butter swirl. Can't find those anywhere else and I would like to try one darn it.

Our super WalMart here in South Florida carries the ketchup and different sauces. They also have alot of the muffin/bread mixes as well as cake mixes. I saw hot cereal, several chocolate bar brands, and low carb chips.

I also found a good stash at our local vitamin store. I tried the Minicarb brownies. They smelled SOOOO good baking, they had a nice texture and "fluffed" up realy good but when I tasted them GAG they were the most horrible thing I have made so far. When they say they don't have the sugar alcahol in them they are right, and you can tell. I think they are salvagable if you add splenda or something to it if you can eat that. They definitely had the bitter cocoa taste. :Puke:

I hope the snickerdoodle cookie mix I bought is better.... I think I will add some sweetener..... :rolleyes:
