I had to go to Folgers 1850 Black Gold when I couldn't get the gold bags anymore.
That ain't me, I was just caught in the traffic
Crawfish Boss in Youngsville has them for 3.50 a pound hot tonight. Causing traffic jams at the roundabouts.
Our deal was as long as you were in the military or college you had a place, free. If not you better have a job, because the rent was now due. Rented from them for a little when I got out of the Marines, then bought that house when I got married.
Instead of the little balls, they can throw a Barbie out there.
Stanley Legendary Useful Box , bring in my sandwich and some snacks. Put it in work fridge.
Like wipers last a long time I south La anyway, seems I have to buy a new pair every year, even buying the better ones.

I have had the 1250 from Academy for a little over a year, like someone else said, keep it cleaned out and it holds temps and it pretty consistent across a cook. Use good pellets. The only problem I had with it was when I was trying to do enough boston butts for 100 and I was tight on room. But for regular family cooks it works just fine.
Collards done right, like my wife does them, are objectively better.

Folgers 1850 Black Gold, the first of the pot goes in my cup with honey and half and half for the drive in, the rest goes in my Stanley bottle for the rest of the day to be drunk black.

The Folgers 1850 isn't too bad, I like it for an everyday office coffee. But I like my coffee dark, just not SBucks dark.
You must be from New Iberia, there are several restaurants around here that have it on the menu that way.

Hot dog with chili - Bun, Weiner, chili as the Good Lord intended.

Walmart has the VanDerHagen blades, not the best and their soaps. Sally's will also have blades and soap if you need it in town. I order from Stirling Soap, they ship quick and have a lot of variety in scents
We moved here from GA and into uniforms. It was so much easier to get ready for school with the shopping and not having to argue over what to wear.
Broullettes is Benoit's now, Mickey hooked us up and he enjoys fighting with the insurance to make sure you are taken care of.
My in-laws practically camped out from the time we got to the hospital until after delivery on all 3 of our kids. Hated that crap.

Second season was deeper and a little darker than the first season, interested where they go in this new season.
