how is the value proposition here? was this an adequate use of money? (keeping in mind as well fwiw i don’t eat meat)
minus-squareMuchPineapples@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·3 months agoValue 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%.
minus-squarePilferJynx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·3 months agoI don’t want to cook after I get home from work. From scratch, doubly so.
minus-squareKidnappedByKitties@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·3 months agoThat’s when you do weekly preps.
minus-squarePsychedSy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 months agoFor the sauces you can make a batch once then freeze it for later.
minus-squarevormadikter@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 months agoWell, i get that. And too, many “sauces” you could cook for your pasta are easy, cheaper and wont cost you a second more time thn the pasta needs to cook.
