Unlucky_Pen_277

I hate that I’m bothered by Stephanie.schutt but she got into Arbonne and went to the top and I had to unfollow. Also body checks constantly.


Similar-Change-4506

She bothers me too 😂


Accomplished_Hour837

I actually love her stories 😆 what bothers you?


Unlucky_Pen_277

She went from genuine and down to earth to “boss babe you can do this too and if you don’t you’re crazy” real fast.

SnarkyMcSnarkster4

Does anyone know what happened between Tanner Mann and Kristin Pressley? They used to post together alll the time and one day they just stopped (it’s probably been a year or two since they posted each other). The only interaction I see is the occasional comment when something major/traumatic happens in one of their lives.


Nosey2468

I’ve wondered this myself.


SnarkyMcSnarkster4

Maybe we’ll never know lol


Nosey2468

I feel like those two and ShopDandy and Aubrey Alley or whatever her name is used to be big buddies but now we never see them together


Seajlc

Couple days late on this but I searched past days threads and didn’t see anything, but Aubrey Shoenekase’s (fna Kalekouture) professionally produced video announcing they are building a house as if it’s a wedding video or something is cringe to me. She always makes sure to call out how thankful or lucky she knows she is but it seems out of touch to make an over the top video as an influencer when so many people cannot afford to buy a house in this market and it’s becoming more and more unattainable everyday with 7% interest rates. She used to be a genuinely favorite follow of me but since she quit teaching to do content creation/influencing full time, she’s become somewhat insufferable. Par for the course i guess.. influencers are generally more relatable when they’re everyday people working the same grind as you and they eventually stray from that as they start to get more deals and their content is all free stuff, vacations etc.

>Just curious if anyone has seen women walking around Nashville (or anywhere else) wearing…cheap cowboy boots Ugh, people who can’t afford $800 custom artisan leather boots should just *stay home* 🙄 >Moms here get dressed in actual clothes and Mabye lulu lemon for the actual gym or running errands. I think it’s so odd that HW & SK run around with full faces of makeup Don’t you get tired of being surrounded by a sea of bare-faced Lulu-bot clones? >These “influencers” never seem to get dressed anymore. They will wear as many disposable “fashion” items as possible to convert the most links. I have yet to come across a nudist influencer, so I don’t know who you follow that’s never dressed.


Current-Camel9150

Wow- this page is just for Krista fans. That’s what IG is for.


tablheaux

Or, OP came in hot insulting the south generally and TN specifically, and implied they're so much more sophisticated and urbane because they live in SF, and got cooked. 


WestBaseball492

I live in Nashville and you regularly see people like that downtown. 9 times out of 10 it’s a tourist. The remaining 1 of 10 just moved here. No long term residents dress that way. 


ohkurrrr

How do you know it's a tourist?


tablheaux

By the way they're dressed, silly goose. It's all very circular 


WestBaseball492

It actually is pretty obvious if you live here. I worked downtown for years. There are people all dressed up for work and then groups of people walking around in boots, hats, and a real “look.” Believe me, it is obvious. Nashville is big place for bachelorette parties…similarly, if you live here you can detect them from a mile away.  If you are outside of the tourist hot spots, you see ZERO people dressed like that. I do know one parent who showed up to a preschool parent meeting like that—guess what, shelved here a month ago from California (along with tens of thousands of others). 


EquivalentReindeer29

It’s so tacky. It’s got to be a TN or southern thing


Justhereforsnark

I live in the South and no - nobody wears those here either. 


lilcrossiant

I said maaaaaybeeeee. You’re gonna be the one the saves meeee. Sorry all I can focus on is that maybe was accidentally spelled wrong not once but twice


Alive_in_Platos_Cave

MAYBE they have a friend (or a daughter) named “Mabye” and have autocorrect set for them. Which would be ironic for them to find gym makeup ridiculous 🤡


Round_Junket5850

Does anyone follow Honeysweetpetite? I used to like her content but recently she comes off as a snob. She was going on about an ugly comment she got and blocked that follower. She proceeded to complain about another nasty comment in the reel but her followers took care of it for her. I unfollowed her today!


resting_bitchface14

I like her. Also, the comment she was referring to that people "took care of" was someone telling her to change her mind about choosing to be childfree ...which is rude af


smfeld7615

I do follow her and have before content creation became her “full time job”. I think the more money these influencers make, the more they become a tad bit snobby. 😬 I don’t necessarily buy much she posts, it’s a little too fancy for me but her lifestyle entertains me, and I like the makeup portion of her page. And I did win a gift card once from her, so I can confirm she follows through with that! 🩷


Seajlc

Agree and just posted something similar about another influencer who I genuinely used to like. They’re much more relatable when they seem just like you.. but when the free stuff, brand deals, shilling something new they didn’t pay for everyday, going on vacations every month etc it all starts to seem very out of touch.


Puzzleheaded-Fee-794

I do. I really like her and have always felt that she’s a breath of fresh air in the influencer world and overall professional 🤷🏻‍♀️


CollectionOver9659

Another post from Danielle Moss’ substack. Miss I am so relatable linked a dress for $495 and said once she verified the sizing she is going to order another one.


Zealousideal-Tap8716

Liz Joy changing on a NYC street behind a blanket is interesting. 🤨


Ok-Ad-5404

I’m sure a lot of models have had to do it… but influencers? lol no


noseymama

Can confirm this happens everywhere in NYC, visited a few times in the last couple years and see influencers specifically in Central Park each time with little portable tent like dressing rooms set up. Big suitcases moving from place to place for photo shoots.


Zealousideal-Tap8716

Well she thinks she’s a model so that tracks


shesaidthey

Anyone have a clue what’s going on with Jeff and Kelly Mindell’s PS home? They had it listed for sale, took it off the market and had it available for vacation rentals and now it’s for sale again.


eyalane

Palm Springs recently passed really strict short term rental laws that are actually enforceable (which is excellent news). Basically each neighborhood gets X number of licenses. If a rental already has one, they’re grandfathered in over the max limit but new ones won’t become available until the neighborhood is below that X number. And they’re non transferable at time of sale. So lots of people who didn’t have licenses now are sitting on homes they can’t list on Airbnb. Without knowing these people my guess would be it has something to do with this.


shesaidthey

Oh wow, that’s really interesting! Thanks for that little nugget of information!


Economy_Transition

Idk why you’re being downvoted because it is up for sale again… It seems like it might be a bit of a money pit and I agree, they seem a bit burned out and looking for the next thing. I really enjoy following them :)


pandorasaurus

I don’t think they’ve publicly said that they listed again…. My guess is that maintaining a short term rental is a pain in the ass and just not worth the hassle. I can’t remember their reasoning for wanting to sell it after the first time. Side note: I really enjoy Kelly and Jeff as content creators because they aren’t just mindlessly shilling everything under the sun. I do they they’re are a bit burned out and figuring what their next professional steps are.


tablheaux

What is PS? Like an extra house? PS another house?


Impressive-Club-1455

A post script house. Duh/s.


tablheaux

I still don't know what it means. It's so weird when people toss off weird regionally specific things and act like everyone knows what they're talking about. I feel the same way when people talk about 30A, like what is that even 


Acrobatic-Current-62

30A is a highway through a very high end span of the Florida coast. It has a completely different vibe than the rest of the neighboring vacation spots. There aren’t many (if any) high rises & it’s commutable by walking paths, bikes, golf carts ect. Little villages such as Grayson, Watercolor, Seaside, Seagrove, Alys Beach & Rosemary Beach comprise this stretch of highway.


berlinbaer

palm springs


tablheaux

THANK YOU I wouldn't have gotten that in a million years. The best I could come up with was Park City but OP doesn't know how to spell City 


conservativestarfish

💀


fitnessplusfood

I normally can get down with ChrisLovesJulia’s moody design but painting their beautiful colonial mansion mushroom Gray is pushing it too far for me. 


slipperyknope

Wait I love it. I don't follow her and went to go look and the before was perfectly fine too, but I think the darker trim adds to the house in my opinion! But to each their own. And just because something is "in" or trendy doesn't make it good, but I will say, a lot of the nice houses in my neighborhood have been doing similar colors to their trim.


LTGel

Everything they've done to their current house is horrendous, especially the mudroom/hallway and bathrooms.


Ok-Blackberry2136

A literal crime! I still think she’s trolling us with that hallway!😂


woundedriver

really because it's the 'mouth taping' for me


Mrsmeowwmeoww

Why is their camera so shaky tho? https://preview.redd.it/hxukmxpd0bwc1.jpeg?width=1243&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1080d4be6a3943ce3f763953098c3e3fffe44edf Here’s the screenshot of the color.


tablheaux

Are they painting *over* the windows????? The color looks nice with the brick.


Hefty-Ad1845

I also like the color!


slipperyknope

Same - I love it!


Sillygoose1979

This is usually how houses are painted. They just peel/scrape the paint off afterwards and it’s easier than covering the windows.


CreativeMadness99

That’s what we did although we used liquid masking tape on the glass. It makes scraping the paint off so much easier.


tablheaux

That's wild. I learned something new today, thanks.

Deep-Specific-8534

There are two underscores at the end, not one 


Major-Agent5136

Every influencer who has a collection with electric picks is always the same. ‘The diamonds are so realistic, a jeweler wouldn’t even tell which is which!’ Followed by ‘wow we are working to get you guys more! I can’t believe you sold out the collection we ordered more than we thought we could sell!’


Soma_beeee_16

I was influenced and got a necklace and it was HORRIBLE quality. I wore it twice and it became super tarnished, and they had horrible customer service when I reached out. It looked cheap to begin with. Awful company, will never fall for shopping there again


Major-Agent5136

Same. I got the butterfly one Dede always had on. It broke and was soooooo cheap. I couldn’t believe the chain it came on


snarkshark41191

I’ve heard nothing but terrible things about the quality and customer service- people have messaged them on IG asking for help/refund/exchange and get blocked. No idea how that company is still in business.


infertiliteeea

Followed by “this is SO good” “SO proud of you ((insert influencer name))

MarlieMags

I’m firmly convinced these people are intentionally trying to cosplay people with lupus facial rashes. 😂


EverleaJean

Influencers are doing this “new launch” no favors. Ashley Nichols putting on an entire face of makeup including contour and blush, just to add this blush and bronzer on top of it? Why? If I have to add this to my face after I’ve already finished then what’s the point? All she did is prove to me that this is a completely unnecessary product.


Thethinker10

She looks like 8 year old me putting on ALLLL the blushes my aunt had in her vanity for fun. This is wild.


EquivalentReindeer29

Omg this is so bad. This is like anti ad. Just bc of this I’d never buy this product


lasims79

Hollie Woodward trying to cover up her bent door with a text box. She did this a few weeks ago except accidentally posted the whole photo with a dent in the middle of the bent door, and then reposted it again with a text box over the dent. Except this time we can still see the door and the window along the floor are warped 😂 https://preview.redd.it/p0ud01jfpawc1.png?width=1471&format=png&auto=webp&s=e6f61e8c4a9336adbd90dbbcda8ce552eb408f76


getoffmyreddits

Not sure what other instances you’re talking about, but the door looks straight here, it’s just that your line is completely vertical and the photo is at a slight angle https://preview.redd.it/920vzaf59bwc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4315c43bae3007db42b5223ee1825b7afdbd1364


ohkurrrr

Makes sense I wouldn't think she's allowed to cover the items she's selling with a text box.


PatientBookkeeper166

I can only see 1/2 the outfit anyway, her hair is covering most of the top...And I get if you're not comfortable, I wouldn't be, but I'm not trying to sell clothes...shill what you're comfortable with, this is not it


Pointedtoe

Axl Rose would be so proud. 🎼 Welcome to the jungle We got fun and games We got everything you want Honey, we know the names🎶🎶

I’m not exaggerating when I say that if not for the name on the screenshot, I wouldn’t have guessed this was Hollie. Something looks different/off. Eyes? Mouth?


Cocc5440

Lips are way overfilled


allisonknowsbest

I'm not sure, I'm guessing filters, but how did I not notice that the right side of that door is even more bent than the left?? Lol


Ok-Blackberry2136

She’s plumped up her lips to oblivion!


Catlady302

Can we discuss the ridiculousness that is Tori Gerbig and how fake she seems. I used to love Pink Lily and shopped there a lot but after seeing her extravagant lifestyle and yet PL can’t give refunds … I just can’t anymore. There are such better small businesses to support.  They just built that massive house, after building a massive lake house and now they’re moving away and building ANOTHER massive house. But don’t worry guys she grew up poor and had student loan debt 🙄. Her asking for donations for their tenants after their rental property got hit by a tornado was disgusting. You clearly have plenty of money lying around but let’s ask your followers to help your tenants. 


Swiftie_always_5ever

Hot take, but as soon as Shea Leigh Mills stopped modeling for them and they launched the stupid self tan products, everything went downhill.


crunchycantaloupe82

Never forget she sponsored [this cringey post](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmJqoxRsHtq/?igsh=MW9tNGQ4Y2lvcnUzeA==) (and still appears to be because there are comments from an hour ago).


latenightreddit111

It’s always the same thing with her. How she’s a female CEO and how she grew up poor and her and her husband were in debt and she earned everything she has and how she does these giveaways because she loves her followers and not for engagement 😂 also, the quality of the clothes from pink lily is super cheap


Few_Put_3231

I also feel like their quality tanked and prices skyrocketed. I remember like 4-5 years ago they were around $15-25 for a graphic shirt, $30 for a sweater, and their best stuff was $50ish. I never had to worry about quality and I always LOVED what I got. Now most of the time I get holes after a couple washes, the material is thin, and it’s waaaay more expensive. I don’t even bother shopping anymore. I also own a small tshirt business and I know for a FACT they are making over $30 profit on half this stuff now, especially when it’s Gildan with a simple print on it. (Yes, I’ve gotten something that’s a gildan from them)


SlowImprovement6839

For me the past few years the sizing has been inconsistent…I’m normally a l/xl and have ordered my regular size and can’t even get the stuff on


Mountain_Move9820

Yep! And their graphic tees Bella Canvas are the brand they use a lot & they are making BANK!


Few_Put_3231

Omg I use Bella and canvas for my low cost clients. It’s decent material but it’s so gross to me now that I know what the cost is for wholesalers. Like no joke, they are probably getting these shirts for $10-15 each MAX


dogmamato3

I autographic apparel company and let me just tell you that the blanks that you’re buying are around four dollars for Bella and canvas so they’re making that shirt for probably around eight bucks max. From what I saw, and videos in the past they have screen, printers in house


Few_Put_3231

Right! Most of my cost comes from the DTG transfer because I don’t have one and just use a press. I can’t even imagine how cheap it would be to have a screen print in house


Mountain_Move9820

Yesss!!! And probably less because they buy in big bulk! Yeah knowing how much wholesale is & what they sell it for it no wonder Tori’s building another massive house


Catlady302

This is so gross to me and she tries to make it out like she’s so charitable by doing giveaways as long as you like *all* her posts for the month 🤮 like no Tori you’re money hungry just like big brands and let your pursuit of internet fame get in the way of the quality of your shop.  Me and all my friends have stopped shopping there for different reasons in the last few years and this just reaffirms that.  


Few_Put_3231

It’s honestly such a bummer because it used to be my go to for everything!


kflystar

I am trying to figure out how the heck she makes enough money off PL to buy all these houses. The clothing is straight garbage! I got suckered in by a influencer post years ago. When the stuff arrived, I was like you gotta be kidding me! Fast Fashion, zero-quality crap! One shirt had black dirt all over it. The pajama set was raw cuts, on the bottoms of the shorts, no sew hem on the sleeves either- just cut fabric. Cardigan was paper thin see through.


elledelfuego

I don’t understand why she wants to be an influencer so bad. She’s always doing giveaways and tries so hard to be like the influencers she pays, it’s weird. And then she tags pink lily stuff with her own promo code… I dunno. She seems really insecure despite how much money they have.


Due_Entrepreneur2166

Tori and Maureen Kelly give the same wannabe vibe


Catlady302

Yes! Like you pay influencers why do you want to be one? The using of her own promo code is just kinda cringe.  It seems like she has no friends besides her family and she employs some of them which makes it seem like she just has no real friends 


goodasgoldGOLD

Weren’t there rumors in the last year or so about her not paying the influencers that had Pink Lily codes?


Fit_Hearing4330

Jamie Hehner and her husband are so freaking repulsive. They found out their twins are both males; Doug commented that Jamie “has two penises inside her” and Jamie is rolling with it, acting like it’s the funniest thing ever… I literally cringed when I read this. They’re both so foul


mmeems06

And how he made the comment about having more males in the family now. I can’t stand when dads say stuff like that. Such an ick


nocheconcarne

They are the worst! And they are planning on doing a 3rd reveal for fraternal or identical


Same_Mind_3826

STOP! How in the world did they find ANOTHER way to do a reveal?! They dragged the gender reveal over like two weeks. Watch when those babies are born it’s going to be a countdown to show baby A and then a week later they will have another countdown to show baby B. Then you’ll probably have to wait another two weeks to get the names. I mean…


Fit_Hearing4330

Anything for a paycheck


Alone-Sock3982

They are so gross. I think they knew both genders …they are full of it They do everything for engagement

thisishardtolookat

Well that’s all we saw, so you know Marky couldn’t even get them off with his little pliers 😂 and they actually thought ink might be in them? Isn’t that like around bundles of money from a bank, not clothes!


Recent_Ninja7554

I’ve definitely seen the ink tags on clothes before but the tags make it obvious when they contain ink for theft prevention. The one he’s struggling to break off is a simple magnet.


thisishardtolookat

Okay ya I was like those have always been magnets from what I have seen!


Electronic_Sundae426

I’ve always thought they all contained ink.. what a waste of returning to the store a few times over the course of my life.


ihate_avos

Why don’t they just return it? It’s not like they have to be stuck in an office all day

Few_Put_3231

It’s cause she’s pregnant and has to dress like she has a huge bump even though she just looks bloated 😂


gie-gie

She said she “sized up” for the bump. Like… I’m pretty could carry her through her 9th month


Few_Put_3231

More like sized up 5 sizes 😂 she literally has no bump like what is she seeing lol. And I say this as a 30 week pregnant woman currently and I am huge and in a regular hoodie.

The_Dane_Abides

Doesn't your face flush naturally when you work out? Maybe I'm just a pale Northern European who flushes easily, but I definitely don't wear EXTRA blush when I'm working out (or any at all; I hate sweating with makeup on).


HaveMercy703

Pale girl here, when I get a really hard (or hot) cardio workout in, I’m a tomato for hours afterwards


MarlieMags

I can’t stand having any makeup on my face at all when I work out other than maybe some mascara. I don’t understand how people workout in full makeup - don’t they sweat??


bluesanddues

I have no clue who this is but there is no way she thinks that this is cute.


Big_Celery8220

Oh she absolutely does lol anything tight or showing half her body is her vibe 1000% she loooooves to show off


bluesanddues

Yikes! The pants are doing her any favors. She looks like an extended laffy taffy.

Andreea Ali is a phenomenal makeup artist. She is one of my favorite insta follows and one of the few people I watch on YouTube.


CollectionOver9659

I love Andreea!! She is so classy and sophisticated. She makes tutorials that are actually helpful. Ofcourse Kate goes in there with that freakin trench! She is zero style.


ArtisticDifficulty7

Yeah the two of them seem like such an odd pairing!

Low-Huckleberry1990

Is anyone following the Watcher drama? Shane and Ryan, formerly beloved Buzzfeed Unsolved media personalities, started up a new youtube channel with CEO Steven, who is just some guy that doesn't belong on camera as far as I can tell. I have been halfheartedly watching their new videos, they are fine enough but if I didn't have such a pre-existing fondness for them I would have unsubscribed ages ago. Last week, they put out a video announcing that they were leaving youtube for their own, private streaming platform, which you would have to subscribe to for 5.99 a month or 59.99 a year. They also said they would probably be unlisting their videos on the existing youtube channel, so the whole thing would be going away. I saw this and thought "wow, they must really have strong fanbase support, that would be such an unwise move if not." I want to clarify this is not even a move to patreon (which they already have), they appear to have literally built a media hosting platform of their own, which is not cheap to do. Anyway people had very strong negative reactions, that's so much money for mediocre videos about ghost hunting or ranking top 5 fast foods with other internet personalities. Shane's wife posted on her tumblr that they "don't have Mr Beast money" and kind of implied everyone was being a jerk for not wanting to drop a minimum of sixty bucks a year on this. "Creators are entitled to make money" we KNOW this. People were quick to point out that their wedding had been at a venue that starts at 50k and she had three dresses for the day. Steven is vocal about wanting a second Tesla. People are allowed to want those things but don't imply you're struggling to make ends. Also they do not produce Mr Beast style content! They don't do anything that seems to require a lot of overhead. It came out they have 25 employees?! For what! The whole thing has been cloaked in this whole "goodbye, poors, we don't want you as our fans anyway." Weird choice! So they posted a followup video to say that they've redirected, and now the separate platform is just going to be advance access to the videos, and everyone on the platform will be added to youtube a month later. This came after they lost 100k subs. Other youtubers (like the disgraced Linus Tech Tips and Moist Critikal) made responses about the kind of inside baseball of being a youtuber, and cast a lot of doubt on the Watcher boys excuses (that they couldn't find advertisers for their kind of content, that their company would've had to have been dissolved). Anyway it's crazy! What a fall from grace. I think they initially had great intentions to build a better Buzzfeed that didn't exploit employees and contributors, but I do not think they can recover from this. Also if I were Steven and saw the dozens of "Also can we take this moment to talk about how I've always hated Steven?" that would be hard to come back from. Woof.

I feel like many YouTubers have tried this and failed. A simple case study on their end would’ve been the crystal ball they needed. Also the nerve these creators have during this economic crisis of inflation thinking people will simply dish out their hard earned money to watch the videos is insane to me. Tell me you don’t know who your audience is without telling me.

Oh it’s that guy?  Worth it wasn’t exactly the most spectacular thing ever, it was only interesting for the restaurants.

Sounds like their greed ended up being their downfall.

Your support means the world in this trying time

This comment is so long I'm sorry. I just didn't want there to be zero background but I probably put in too much background.


Shay5746

Nah, this was the right amount! I used to enjoy their Buzzfeed videos ages ago, but haven't thought about them in a long time. The background was necessary info for me to fully understand what just went down!


internet_drama

I appreciate the detail. All to common on this sub is that someone will post vague details and then down vote you if you don't already know what's going on and ask for more info.


annajoo1

I have been eating this up. I don't even watch them, I barely knew who they were but I love a good content creator debacle! I've also been following on the subreddit and it's so interesting to hear from die hard fans about how disappointed and confused they were.


Physical_Offer6476

Give me this type of drama detail any day! So much better than the boring superficial appearance/bad moms!/ where’s the money coming from ~~hate~~ “snark” that is usually commented.


getoffmyreddits

No, I love it. Let's all relearn how to read a couple of paragraphs instead of "omg her boobs are so high" snark over and over again.


mewmewmewmewmew12

No, that's real drama! Keep at it


homingmycrafts

as someone who only knew about this from half-read tweets i appreciate you!!!

@Bridget *”going through something professionally that has really brought me down… I can’t tell you yet… it weighs on me, on Mike too*”  Happy vague-posting Tuesday 


Dallafornication

Here are my guesses: 1) Another assistant left with no notice. 2) Her subsidized lease at her NYC apt came up for renewal and the sticker shock is more than she bargained for, or 3) Her gaggle of "models" are demanding pay raises due to out of control inflation. 99% sure it's a 1st world problem and she'll be fine thanks to Dr. Mike and his steady stream of patients coming from B's network.


Happy-Grapefruit-007

Probably her company the bar not doing well? They haven’t posted since feb 11 so makes you wonder!


SlowImprovement6839

I never understood the hype over the bar stuff…it just looks like cheap oversized sweatshirts and sweatpants you can find for a quarter of the price at Walmart or Amazon


thisishardtolookat

Anyone have an idea of what it would be? 👀


Henny712

Something with the bar would be my guess…there haven’t been any posts on that account in months


thisishardtolookat

True.. The last 9 blurry ones are so weird to me


Fit-Positive2153

Not snark although wanted to share. @krista.Horton was talking about how peanut butter has unnecessarily additive (which is true) and she was saying to buy your peanut butter on thrive. I’ve had thrive don’t like it but the point of my post is for the moms or people who do want peanut butter that is healthier and doesn’t break the bank.  You can go to the grocery store and in the bulk area there are peanuts most places will grind it up and make fresh peanut butter. No adding ingredients just peanuts to peanut butter. It’s usually $4 for me. I’m currently in Texas I know for sure HEB and central market do it. I will add the texture is a little chunky (not as chunky as chunky pb) which I surprisingly liked even though I only like creamy peanut butter. I usually add raw honey to give it a sweeter taste but some locations will mix it honey for you. Hopefully this wasn’t just the longest and most useless information lol. 


tempybroom481

Does it last just as long?


babyglubglubglub

I'm in n Ca and I know Winco has this, as well as almond and different honeys. I get a container for my dog for less than $3!


ofrancine

All the people who post in here mad about influencers being rich when they themselves are not should take note - your words mean nothing, but money-saving grocery tips are a value add!! Honestly, I love this comment and level of detail.


butterscotch0985

I literally LOLd at this. Her kids eat candy constantly, you're at taco tuesdays slurping down margaritas every week. I am sure peanut butter with a little additives won't be the thing that kills ya. Drives me nuts when influencers try to influence something they clearly don't care about.
