Something new at the grocery.

I’m unsure.

That doesn’t look particularly appealing to me.

Άτροπος : I found it kind of creepy.

I think that is an apt adjective.

Άτροπος :

no thanks

It all looks a bit plastic.

20SoCalDude25 : I didn't go for it.

Indikon : Lots of frozen chunks.

I’m always suspicious and cautious about premade food like this. I’m not confident it is always safely monitored.

Huh

I'd never do it, but I'm shocked at how little many people know about cooking.

I saw Plated boxes at Albertson's. I bet if I were to buy the fresh ingredients separately it would be a much cheaper meal.

I wonder how long that set up will last.

Well, I'm sure they are trying to cash in on the "ready made" market. Think how popular those programs are that mail you the ingredients with recipes for your meals.

I made my own "Chinese" food last night, pre-cubed pork, quick rice, bagged stir fry veggies and Kung Pao sauce made from powder in an envelope. It was good!

Fly Fisher : Or what happens when it defrosts on the way home.

🐾Cindy🐾 : Excellent!

Godtess : Yes, That seems to be popular.

Swamp Daddy : I sort of hope not long.

KDFrawg 🐸 : Yep. Huh.

LisaNWOSU2000 : Exactly.

Our chain must have hired the same company

Skip Z : This was a Kroger store.

we have something like that here, but several of the stores are using fresh ingredients, with a recipe card to go along with it. Competition for Aprons, BluePlate, etc.

say, Grace#🟦 : Yes, this store has that too. That's more appealing to me. Have you tried any of the options?

no, mainly because I find knowing what I want to make then getting the ingredients myself is still cheaper. I've never had money to play with in my grocery budget. I have more now that I don't have kids or T to feed, but I still am a bit miserly...for now

say, Grace#🟦 : I understand. I remember years of shopping with a calculator so I wouldn't go over my limit. Hugs.
