Dollar Tree vs. Walmart Cooking Challenge

LA Department of Water's finest please.

Today we're answering the age old question.

Does it actually matter where you get your groceries?

We're making two nacho plates,

one with ingredients from Walmart,

one with ingredients from Dollar Tree.

It's the budget battle today.

Times are tight. Inflation is on the rise.

The uranium prices in Niger have skyrocketed,

so the kitcheneers right now are at Dollar Tree and Walmart.

Let's see what they got.

Well, well, well,

we got all of our ingredients for the nachos from Walmart.

Over here, we got all of our ingredients from Dollar Tree.

Over here, we're kind of doing like a Taco Bell homage.

We got the liquidy nacho cheese,

which is like one of my favorite things.

We're gonna be making a little spiced meat like a

bolognese Mexicano, which I'm pretty excited about.

Love me some spiced meat.

Over at Walmart, our total receipt

for all these groceries was $52,

and at Dollar Tree, only $25.

Full disclosure, I ain't never been to a Dollar Tree.

I grew up and still am a staunch 99 cent only person.

That's what we had on the west coast,

but I know a ton of people love Dollar Tree

and are using it for a lot of their groceries.

The total dish price over here comes out to about $14.

The total dish price over here, about $22.

So you're getting like a 46% markup over at Walmart,

but we'll see how the actual quality is.

Some of the biggest differences that we found,

Dollar Tree doesn't have a lot of, like,

fresh ingredients, right?

It's great for canned stuff, frozen stuff,

a lot of like snacky type foods.

But we did find these beef patties right here,

which are really interesting.
