I Don't Leave Dollar Tree Without This $1.25 Kitchen Cleaning Product
From Tupperware copycats to affordable grocery finds, Dollar Tree shoppers love sharing their latest favorites from the retail chain on social media. A Dollar Tree lover to my core, I buy everything from spices to kitchen tools at the discount store, and often turn to TikTok for suggestions on things to look out for on my next visit—including the viral silicone bowl covers I’m still trying to track down.
But there’s one item I always find well-stocked at Dollar Tree, despite it receiving lots of great reviews on social media in places like Reddit and TikTok. No, it’s not trendy wooden Mason jar lids or name-brand cans of Poppi soda (yes, you can find those things at Dollar Tree!) My go-to Dollar Tree item is a cleaning product that helps me keep my kitchen tidy.
The 5 Worst Desserts to Buy From Walmart’s Bakery
Walmart is a hot spot for grocery shopping thanks to its low grocery prices and its viral products that pop up on social media (looking at you, Raising Cane’s chicken tender dupes and artisan macaroni and cheese). Whether I’m grocery shopping on a budget or saving time with Walmart grocery delivery, I’ve been a long-time Walmart grocery shopper and have purchased everything at the retail chain, from copycat Big Mac sauce to food storage containers that keep my produce fresh.
Walmart has a pretty big bakery section with lots of treats worth buying, but there are also several items better avoided. I scoured Reddit to see which bakery items Walmart shoppers just don’t think are worth it, from donuts to chocolate cake. Here are five Walmart bakery items that won’t be making it to my grocery shopping list.

I personally have done my own share of gushing over delightful Aldi grocery items, from a pizza-sized sugar cookie to all of the delicious seasonal cheesesthat appear in the store’s deli section.

This $1.25 Dollar Tree Find Will Save You Tons of Money
Groceries are pretty expensive these days, so I’ve started stocking up on kitchen staples like spices and rice at Dollar Tree to offset the effects of things like rising egg prices on my family’s monthly grocery budget. As it turns out, the bargain retailer is a surprisingly fun and affordable place to shop for grocery items—some TikTokers even build accounts based on cooking affordable dinners with Dollar Tree finds.
One of the latest Dollar Tree kitchen items to make its rounds on social media isn’t exactly food, but instead, it's a way to make your edible items last a little longer. After all, a great way to save money on groceries is to use up leftovers, like cooked spaghetti, or recycling some items, like coffee grounds, for another meal.
Aldi Just Released a New Version of My Favorite Find
A shopping trip to Aldi feels different than a visit to other grocery stores, and it’s not because it mainly stocks its own private-label brands. With fan-favorite items that range from salmon to cottage cheese and prices that feel like you’re getting a great deal, perusing Aldi aisles feels akin to hunting a thrift store for unique items you can’t help but want to bring home and try.
The 4 Worst Foods to Buy at Sam's Club, According to Reddit
Warehouse stores can be a great place to stock up on grocery items with a long shelf life, like dried pasta or canned vegetables.

After all, can you really finish four pounds of mashed potatoes before they expire? (We’d love to try!)

The Best Appetizer at Chili's Isn't Even on the Menu
As a food writer and lover of off-menu restaurant trends, TikTok easily influences me. Recently, my feed has been filled with Chili’s fans eating sauce-tossed mozzarella sticks outside their closest restaurant, raving about how the best appetizer at Chili’s isn’t even on its menu. Deep down the sauce-tossed mozzarella stick rabbit hole, I knew I had to try this off-menu Chili’s item for myself.
I Tried the Retro Midwest Dish That’s a Missouri Legend
You’ve probably had cashew chicken at your local Chinese restaurant, but there’s a retro, Midwestern version that’s gaining popularity again. Springfield-style cashew chicken, which originated in Springfield, Missouri, in the 1960s, is making a comeback—both on our site and on TikTok.
A recipe for Springfield-style cashew chicken, shared by Allrecipes user Katie Mines, is getting rave reviews. Mines explains, “This cashew chicken is the style first shared in Springfield…It involves deep-frying the chicken in peanut oil. Serve this Show-Me State cashew chicken with soy sauce over a bed of fried riceif desired.”
Meet Copper Pennies: The ‘Good Old Tried-and-True’ Side Dish I'm Making Over and Over Again
Pennies aren't just for tossing into wishing wells or dropping into the "take a penny, leave a penny" dish at the cash register. There's another take on these tiny copper discs—and this one is edible. If you haven't heard of copper pennies, let us introduce you to this retro dish, made with sliced carrots (which resemble pennies, hence the name) marinated in tomato soup and sugar. It's vibrant, tangy, and, as one Allrecipes member calls it, "A good old tried-and-true recipe that's been around for at least 60 years.

A recipe trending on social media takes salad to the next level, it's full of flavor, has a warming element to slightly wilt tough greens, and it's so good you might actually start to crave it.

I Tried the Popular Air Fryer Crab Bites and Now I’m a Believer
If there’s one thing social media has taught us, it’s that you can cook just about anything in an air fryer. The latest delicacies to go viral on TikTok are air fryer crab bites—imitation crab meat diced, coated in butter and seasonings, and air-fried until crispy and golden.
Not the biggest seafood fan, it had been years since I’d eaten imitation crab when this unique air fryer delight started showing up in my TikTok feed. Still, the concept seemed so strange to me that I wanted to try it out.
The New Feta Pasta Is Here: You Have To Try The Baked Boursin Pasta
There's no denying it: Boursin Cheese is having a moment this summer, and it’s all thanks to TikTok. Videos of home cooks making baked Boursin Lemon Pasta have amassed more than 5 million views on the social media app, with many creators praising the dish for its one-pot simplicity and fresh flavors.
Boursin, which is the brand name for a French style of cheese called Gournay cheese, is known for its creamy texture and garlicky flavor. It hails from Northern France, where it first gained popularity in the early '60s.

I Tried Spam's New "Breakfast" Flavor And I Didn't Hate It
There’s a new flavor of Spam in town and it pairs perfectly with everything from waffles to Brussels sprouts. Spam Maple Flavored is rolling out on grocery store shelves now, bringing the brand’s total varieties to 11. While many Spam flavors, like the original, Spam Hot and Spicy, or Jalapeño, are on the savory side, the brand has released sweet flavors in the past. Allrecipes editors tried the pumpkin spice variety with mixed reviews, so we were skeptical about this new Maple Spam.
“This is by far my favorite-to-date product that we have launched,” says Jennesa Kinscher, a senior brand manager at Spam. “It’s because it just makes sense. When you think about Spam, one of the natural usages that you think about is during breakfast.”
Should You Be Seasoning Your Hot Dogs? I Tried It, and Have Thoughts
Hot dogs are a favorite grill food, they appeal to the masses and take zero prep. But TikToker Jill Castlen, better known as Mama Jill on the social media platform, broke the internet a few weeks ago when she shared a video saying she seasons hot dogs before grilling them. “Apparently it’s controversial and apparently I’m weird,” Castlen says in a TikTok that’s been viewed more than 1.5 million times. “My saying is literally it’s not seasoned till you’re sneezing, but everybody’s surprised that I season my hot dogs before we grill them.”
“If you’ve never had seasoned, grilled hot dogs,” she continues, “start doing it.”
