how is the value proposition here? was this an adequate use of money?
(keeping in mind as well fwiw i don’t eat meat)
Those uncrustables,though delicious, cost way more than they’re worth. You would spend as much, maybe even less, on peanut butter and jelly in jars, which would obviously last much longer.
Presliced cheese is typically more expensive than block. Alfredo is cheap to make from scratch. The instant Mac that comes in the microwavable bowls are like 2.5x the price per ounce of the ones that are just packets.
I’ve always held that belief about block vs shredded/sliced cheese, but in my receny grocery trips, I’ve noticed that all the stores in my area charge the same by weight for block, shredded, and sliced. Obviously YMMV
Same for me. It used to be the case that a block of cheese was cheaper than sliced or grated, but at some point in the last 10 years it’s evened out. That’s the case for every store I shop at.
I realized that too ages ago. But I still find blocks better for 2 reasons. 1) you can cut cheese mold off and the rest is perfectly fine so blocks can last longer. 2) shredded does have anti caking agents to keep it loose. Nothing bad IMO, but unnecessary for my cooking.
I feel like the anti faking agent dulls the flavor. sometimes it’s worth it though cause grating can be a hassle and maybe your gonna melt it.
Idk I feel like buying a cat with your groceries was a bit too much. Should have just skipped the groceries and only bought the cat
Vegetarians can use chick peas to make a vegan chicken salad… Same texture and close to the taste, just no actual chicken.
A bag of dried beans would Introduce more protein too.
Lastly, where are the apples and bananas? No fruit?
It’s fine that you don’t eat meat, but where’s the protein in your diet? Beans, tofu, peas?
The cat
People are out here choosing to eat canned green beans? When you could just as easily eat NOTHING and have roughly the same nutritional value and none of the slimy, masochistic horror show that is canned green beans. (I don’t care for canned green beans).
When you could just as easily eat NOTHING and have roughly the same nutritional value
I’m no nutritionist, but that seems incorrect based on my cursory Google search. lol
I actually like canned green beans slightly more than fresh or frozen. It has something to do with the texture, but idk what exactly. Though imo most veggies are definitely better fresh, for some reason I really enjoy canned peas too (I know I’m a weirdo).
In my opinion, the only acceptable way to eat most vegetables is roasted and seasoned. Frozen vegetables are easier to roast as they are part cooked before frozen.
If I go to a restaurant and I receive boiled vegetables I won’t go there again. Sick freaks.
On Thanksgiving, my aunt boils broccoli and potatoes and serves them totally unseasoned. Not even salt. 😢
It’s one of many reasons why I haven’t gone in years.
Do people really fuck with uncrustables? I almost picked some up tonight
Uncrustables are ravioli.
You’re ravioli
Holy shit. Meat sealed in a skin pocket. They’re right! You ARE ravioli!!
Value wise it’s not very good: you could have made the sauces yourself, slice your own cheese, cut your own broccoli, make your own muffins if you really want to save, make your own mac and cheese, etc. Would save you probably 50%.
I don’t want to cook after I get home from work. From scratch, doubly so.
This is an extremely binary haul. Items are either very healthy or very unhealthy with nothing in between. It’s kind of impressive.
Tips: Make your own Mac & Cheese and tortillas. Both are cheap, easy to make, and taste way better than premade stuff.
Time is also a factor
