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.
I feel like this is food for two different people
Did you really need to splurg on the Thomas bagel thins vs great value?!
/s
I’m joking that’s mental
That is a lot of processed food.
Not bad, not great. I buy my veggies from a grocery that specializes in that, it’s much cheaper and less plastic. No yogurt? No solid/brick cheese? No nuts and dried fruit? No canned beans or dried beans? Peanut butter?
What you really need is a $/portion table to see what’s actually expensive here.
I think the muffins tip you over the edge into junk food land. They are very empty and basically the same as the rolls, the kraft dinner, and whatever is in the red box. A fair bit of this stuff is basically sugar and bread.
I was wondering if maybe OP has kids.
Your colon is going to hate you.
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!!
Ravioli is a sandwich
True Neutral, I see.
Uncrustables fuck, bro. They’re fantastic. Try the hazelnut spread ones, too.
Hell yeah, straight out the freezer into my fat face
Only 20% is natural ingredients. 80% is processed foods. Typical futile attempt to eat healthy. Terrible diet.
There are better ways to say that
I expect English is their second language, based on the surreal absurdity of the binary state of “healthy” and “futility”. It’s all a futile attempt, we all die. The comment reads like a Salvador Dali or René Magritte. C’est ne pas une pipe.
Which isn’t me ripping on someone for learning a new language, it’s just an emergent property of people unconstrained by convention.
Maybe learning a new language, but their post history appears to be all in English. Then again, they’re also posting on 5+ month old threads about the war in Ukraine, so Russian troll maybe?
I’m now rereading the original comment in my head with a Russian accent. It totally takes the edge off, actually makes it comical.
You have a kitty, swiss rolls, and (from the looks of it) a hammock. Are you accepting house guests?
great value swiss rolls 🤢
Where’s the beef?
Calm down Clara.
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 shtedded/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.

They also use some sort of thickener that turns into mucusy slime when water is poured on it so you don’t have to use milk or butter. We’re at the point now where there are better ways to eat your processed foods, LOL.
It’s a lot of processed bread / carb products and very little protein.
I agree the cat looks mostly fat with very little quality protein content. 😸
Lots of cheese. Op is probably vegetarian
They said this in the post
Doh. I completely missed that.
Still they need beans or something. Protein is important
You can get plenty of protein from cheese if you’re alright with having a dysfunctional digestive tract.
That was my first thought too. I know those muffins ain’t cheap either and are PACKED with calories. That’d be the first thing I’d drop
Oh god. Are we gonna do this? Is this gonna spawn a month of “This is how much I got for X in X” posts?
$87 for grocery used to get you gourmet organic foods. In 2024 you get uncrustables. I hate this timeline.
Uncrustables have always been expensive, relatively speaking. That box represents 10-20 depending on where they are. Going with 10, that could have been a jar of pb and jam, and a loaf of whole grain….and the jar of jams and pb will last more than a single loaf will.
Even less if you buy the same crappy bread they use.
You could’ve saved $3 on the pack of tortillas by spending $10 on a bag of masa and 6 hours making enough tortillas to feed a small battalion
Fresh tortillas are delicious, though time consuming
