Exactly. Cherry pie filling is mostly sweet thickened syrup. Canned cherries are literally cherries.
Edited to add it's like comparing canned tomatoes with tomato sauce. They may have an ingredient in common, but they're totally different things.
Then you are very bad at shopping and/or managing your money. Quit buying shit you don't need or going to Hawaii to get your Hawaiian chicken.
Check out /r/frugal and /r/EatCheapAndHealthy for some help.
Using this recipe since I've never made Hawaiian chicken tacos, we get:
------------------
Total for the trip: 20.38 and that includes extra chicken, extra cheese, extra marinade, and extra oranges to make it again or repurpose. (Admittedly I didn't include the cost of salt because everyone has salt or cilantro because it's difficult to find online, but I've never seen cilantro for more than 4 bucks and it comes in bundles enough to make this recipe like 20 times!)
But wait, there's more! That recipe makes 10 tacos! Assuming two tacos per meal we come to 4.07/meal and that's not factoring in the fact you will likely find cheaper prices at your local store (I'm limited by needing to look online), a lot of these items will be subject to coupons or can be bought in bulk for extra discounts, and you save all that time not going to Chipotle every single day.
I would recommend something like amarena cherries, or luxardo cherries.
If you do fresh cherries they'll release a ton of liquid and sink. No good. Maraschino cherries are, well, not my favorite.
I would get either of the above, and I would drain them a little and if I felt like it, add some of that liquor to the souffle batter. Then I would chop or add whole as described above.
Good luck and hope it works well!
I'd find it in cans. This is the brand I've had

Premium Cocktail Cherries ( 21.2oz / 600 grams) by Traverse City Whiskey Co. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077YDC48D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_aMHKDbC2RCN4M
They're admittedly a pain in the ass to find, but online from reputable sources would be my suggestion given that I don't know where you live. Luxardo is a well-trusted dealer and amazon is a trustworthy online store, so I'd say that. Otherwise, local higher-end grocery stores might carry them.

6 cans, and is eligible for Prime shipping if you've got it!

I hadn't dreamed of a can this big until I saw this post. I placed my order a few hours ago.
We'll see how long they last in a household of two. Good thing there is some Manhattan season left! After that, Two Dots and a Dash!
Amarena Cherries are also commonly used in cocktails though can be found in all sorts of cooking recipes. Personally, I prefer Amarena to Luxardo's. Fabbri is generally what you find behind most bars that use Amarena Cherries. The jar itself is reusable and much more attractive to have on display if that's your thing.
Eh, a lot less expensive if you go for the larger sizes.
You should get him some real maraschino cherries they will change his life. If you've ever been to high class bar they will use these and they are worth every penny. A Manhattan isn't the same without one of these.

Not sure exactly where you are, but big warehouse liquor stores tend to carry the real Luxardo Maraschino Cherries—there’s also Amazon.
While you’re looking, take that rich, sweet, unctuous flavor from those cherries, make it earthier, drier, and woodier, and you’ve got my favorite liqueur: Luxardo Maraschino liqueur. Many describe the flavor as almond-like, but honestly, there’s nothing else like it. A staple for prohibition era cocktails and a fine aperitif/digestif on its own.
Great to know! Hopefully those stick around
If not, you can get luxardo cherries in giant cans. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YY4OU2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_C9FfAbSYHNWQ7
FYI-Those cherries are very expensive

BONUS!!
Yes. Cherries. need them now.
I got Native Forest brand organic canned jackfruit in water (well it has salt and lime juice too) from Whole Foods. Here's a link to it. I thought maybe I hadn't dries it enough, although I squeezed it pretty dry, or maybe that I could crisp it by frying it before adding the sauce? What do you think? I'm new to jack fruit so any advice would be great!
This is the brand I usually get... It's way cheaper at my local Indian store, though! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C82K6RV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2.YCCbC31G453
I'm not a fan of fruit in my beer, though I will drink one from time to time. That said, I'd use something like Oregon Fruit canned cherries- they've been pasteurized, they're easy to add to primary (which is totally fine, trust me), easy to find, cheap, and impart a lot of flavor.
Cheers!
Fear cuts deeper than swords!
Grey Tribble!
Reminiscent of rain. If you turned a sound machine on and set it to "spring rain" and put this on you'd think your face was actually being caressed by gentle cooling drops of relaxing rain. :)
Weird food Haggis flavored chips. What? I love tasting new stuff. This intrigued me. :)
For my mom She loves horses. I once gave her an ornament with a horse on it that meant a lot to her. It's become sort of a tradition to get her an ornament as part of Christmas. This one is soo pretty. :)
Book! If you've watched the show I don't have to sell this too hard. :) I LOVE this show and really really want to read this book!
Less than $1. Technically... Digital delivery is a delivery method. It's not a food, polish, or anything to do with my hair. ;)
Cat related!
This key does nothing useful, but it looks awesome!
Across The Universe (movie). I had a friend who had the soundtrack. We listened to it pretty often. It's worth a watch just for the music alone, but it's a great watch. :)
Useful for zombies? Maybe?It's a knife that fits in your wallet like a credit card. It's at least a weapon that you could always have on you so you're ready at a moments notice. :) If only they made a credit card size folding flame thrower. ;)
Life changing. I need to be less fat... :/ This would definitely help.
Add on. My hedgehog loves these!
This is my second most expensive. My most expensive was the one for not being fat... lol. Before I used a wishlist I just added stuff to my cart and then saved it for later. This is the oldest item I've had stashed away. Every camping trip or competitive horse ride I went on with my mom/parents always involved sitting around the fire talking before heading off to bed. Whenever I get the chance to see them (we live in different states now) we still sit around a fire. This just reminds me of good times spent with family and essentially being home...
Bigger than a breadbox. For side table fishy times! :D
Smaller than a golfball. I'm obsessed with stars. I really love this ring. :)
Good smell! I bought the lotion and body spray on a whim when I was at the mall a while back. This stuff smells sooo good. It's like summer time!
Safe for work toy. These things look really neat. I saw them mentioned somewhere else and googled to see what they were. The video makes them look pretty cool. :)
I'm always late for class, but if I had a watch that I couldn't stop looking at I might just make it on time. ;)
Speaking of "can't stop looking at"... I'm obsessed with Doctor Who and David Tennant. :D
I added this to show someone else... I think it's crazy that they even make these. There's an appliance for everything! What beats fresh donuts anytime you want them? NOTHING! That's what... This is why I need that elliptical.. :P
Pm'd what I think is your name! :D
Oregon Cherries!
1.) Something that is grey.
Silver is grey, right? ;)

When I think of rain I think of cuddling up with a good cup of coffee.

Coffee chocolate Not that weird... but pretty amazing.
4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!)

I don't think any nail polish is useful, but I love this color
9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why?
Shawshank Redemption Come on, it's amazing. And sad. And Stephen King.
10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain.
These would be particularly useful because I could keep my hair out of my face so I can see zombies better to kill them!
11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals.
skip for now
12.) One of those pesky Add-On items.
Apparently you can straighten your nose with this interesting little item Ohhhh, China.
13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why?
This book is the most expensive item on my list. Dream item? Nah. A kindle would be my dream item, but not feasible to have on list right now.
14.) Something bigger than a bread box.
This big enough?
15.) Something smaller than a golf ball.
This ring is itty bitty!
16.) Something that smells wonderful.
This air freshener. Mmmm
17.) A (SFW) toy.
Amazon lists this as a toy, so I'm going to have to go with that!
18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school.
These would be great to hang papers and reminders up on the fridge.
19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be.
I'm obsessed with books, so uh... most of my wish list. Or this bookmark that symbolizes all that is books.
20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand.
I'm sure you've seen this but come on! It's John Snuhhhh!
Bonus! Oregon Fruit
Fear cuts deeper thank swords! Thanks for the contest. =)

I like Amarena Cherries but they aren't (much?) cheaper.
Thanks.

Well, if you're talking about recently - they've been hard to find because of some bad crop years out of Michigan, where 75% of the tart cherries in the US are produced. Harsh winters and early false springs have killed the blossoms and hurt the crop. 2012 was the worst crop in Michigan recorded history, apparently.
I have found frozen tart cherries at Costco in the last 6 months, I believe they were a Morello variety because they were dark colored. I've also found them in my local grocery store - but both times they were labeled organic fruit, so maybe your grocery stores are putting them in a different section? You can also get preserved Morellos in a jar from Trader Joe's - they've got a little bit of a different texture than frozen, but they'll do in a pinch. I've also heard fairly good reviews of the Oregon Fruit brand canned tart cherries in water, which you can get off amazon.
As a last resort, a lot of farms will overnight ship flash frozen tart cherries, if you're willing to pay the premium.
This is probably more tart cherry information than you ever wanted to know :)
Not sure how they compare price:volume ratio wise to the Luxardo cherries you saw, but imo Fabri are superior.

Instead of cran juice, try using cran sauce; Not the jellied kind but the whole berry kind, like this. There are better. Check out Trader Joe's or your local fancy supermarkets.
Shake the cranberry sauce and bourbon hard (about 10 sec). Fill a 12 oz-ish glass with ice, pour in bourbon & cran and top with ginger beer (3-4 oz). Garnish with an orange slice, if desired. The whole cranberries also act as a garnish but the orange slice is nice.
Have fun!
~Cheers

You can buy it from amazon for a decent price if you want to get a fe cans. We've used this brand a few times.
Strangely, dairy isn't an acne trigger for me, so I still eat cheese but rarely drink dairy milk. I prefer the taste and texture of almond milk (just on its own, unsweetened). I buy the "almond powder" type, and stir it in a cup of boiling water.
Depending on the product, there might be some variation in the nutritional benefits of almond milk, but generally: you will get a combination of Vit A, VIt D, Vit E, calcium, magnesium, and the healthy fats found in almonds.
I don't notice visible improvements on my skin, except that I'm a lot less acne-prone now (as long as I stay away from other dietary triggers, that is lol). I used to get acne from just not getting home on time to wash my face before the 12-hour time limit.
Just for lols: the offending cranberries. I did not expect the sugar content to be so high! I sometimes buy cranberry juice from that brand, and it was pretty good.

Hey, I've got a dairy allergy and I bake a lot. Earth balance makes some great products that you can substitute for butter in cakes (really, I do it and they turn out fine). That said, the best way to go about it is to make oil cakes. Here is one of my favorites: http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2008/09/moms-apple-cake/
I've also made it substituting morello cherries for the apple + cinnamon, and added a dash of amaretto liquor, 'twas heavenly.
That's my recipe and ingredients list except I use Amarena cherries.

But then again, I jumped from the fire engine red maraschino cherries to these, so maybe I missed something.
It is usually translated as pickled plums but it is salt cured Japanese plums. They are salty and have a bold unami flavor. Usually mixed in with rice as a condiment. I have heard of putting them in drinks like a pickled onion but never tried it.
Here is an example on Amazon but I normally get mine at a local import store.
Very popular in Japan. Where did you get the plums?
Google thinks they are the same thing but led me to a fancy brand that aren't neon red and come in a 12LB can!!
Amazon has good prices on Luxardo cherries sometimes.

Two Pack Luxardo for $32

It's kind of fun and makes for interesting oral sensations.
>Asian grocery store
I should have said "very small Caribbean island." No asian grocery stores. But it appears that Amazon will provide, once again.

I feel like everyone here is missing out on some pretty great cherries. Check out the Royal Harvest cherries that you can literally order off amazon and deliver happily to your house. 72oz of cherries that are LARGER than the Luxardo cherries for cheaper, especially for the little volume you get from Luxardo.
