how is the value proposition here? was this an adequate use of money?
(keeping in mind as well fwiw i don’t eat meat)
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?
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
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).

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!!
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
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.
It’s fine that you don’t eat meat, but where’s the protein in your diet? Beans, tofu, peas?
The cat
It’s a lot of processed bread / carb products and very little protein.
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.
