I poped in to my local big lots department closeout store and wow.. the low carb things i found.. everything from carb option drinks - to these low carb tortila chips

i found this Mini carb seczhuan beef soup mix (instant) im sure i will never consume it as a soupe but im thinking it might make an awsome base for stir fry and mixing in to other items .
i grabed ohh... im thinking 20 packs of it.. since it was 15 cents a pack. they also had the planter low carb nut bars for less than 20 cents a bar grabed some of those.

i was realy excited when i seen all of this stuff.. and was also happy when i seen they had orgnaic snack foods for my kids that at regular grocrie store are out ragouse more than reasonably priced priced now as regular snacks are ... so i wasnt as hesitant on buying it... there was alot of odd looking things that i wasnt to sure of there was a coconut soup mix that was by mini carb.. and the bake mix and pankcake mix and hot cereal . ect.. didnt someone say that Mini carb went out of buisness?

anyway just droping a msg about my big lots and to think i seldom make it in there and just by a fluke i decided to mozie in.. glad i did.

Wow, Gilley, looks like you hit a low carb jackpot! Hope all or at least most of it will be good -- actually low carb and taste good, too.

How have you been?? Haven't "seen" you around lately. All's well?

It's a pretty good guess that soon you will not see any of these items anywhere (except maybe online). Big Lots is a closeout operation. The reason things end up there is that they are no longer desired by other retailers. But, with that said, I better get myself over to the closest Big Lots today. They are things desired by me!................

They had some lemon cookie mix but it was gone last time I went. Fifty cents a box, and the cookies were really good!

Judy is correct. A couple months ago my Big Lots had a fairly large selection of low carb products. Last weekend I went back and nothing was left.

I think for me it may be a benefit when the cheap readily available mixes are gone. I bought 8-10 boxes of various mixes at Wal-Mart for $1 each right after Christmas. I think it set off carb memories that I was better off not awakening. As soon as school is out, I need to read the book again and do a week or so of induction. However, If I can remember to do it, I may make a run by Big Lots tomorrow.

I just got back from Big Lots and they had more of the lemon cookie mix. I stocked up this time.

Big lots also had alot of the Diet V8 SPLASH in the indivudal serving size wich i like beacuse it avoids over drinking of it. they also had single serving of atkins brand chips. wasnt sure about it when i got them but they arnt bad.. not as bad as the cheeto cheese curles blah the after taste on those are horrid..
i seldom buy these LC convience foods i try to eat fairly clean but planing a vacation car trip im looking for some things to avoid me buying regualr HIGH carb items.

they had carboptions green tea mix.. anyone try that .. curious what it taste like ..
