Sometimes you’re just lazy and there’s nothing wrong with buying stuff like this if you can afford it.

[Anonymous No.20480362]

>if you can afford it
Might as well go a step further and not even leave your residence, just order in a $15 meal for $30, because after all, you're lazy and you can afford it, and there is nothing wrong with that...

Yeah but if you're lazy and it's like 3-4am in the morning then it's too late, then it's time for a tombstone.

dry pasta takes 10 minutes to cook, get a sauce in a jar. it would be cheaper than this prepacked shit. you are too lazy to put water and pasta into a pan and wait 10 minutes?

thats way too expensive for premade slop, only acceptable at $6 and below

[Anonymous No.20481667]

>>20480327
Too expensive. For that price, I’d just get the ingredients and whip something up real quick. It’s just pasta.
>b-but lazy
Then I’d stop by a drive through of Little Caesars and get more food for the price.

Correction, cold flavorless spaghetti

[Anonymous No.20482038]

>>20480327
This food occupies no niche. That pasta is probably no better than a top tier frozen meal, more expensive, and has a short shelf life.

If I wanted to maximize taste I'd cook at home. If I wanted to maximize economy I'd cook at home. If I wanted to maximize convenience I'd order delivery.

If you are lazy enough to buy one of these, it'll only be when you are grocery shopping anyways, so why not just get your groceries delivered and then heat a frozen meal or order delivery?

The only people who buy this are so lazy they can't even optimize being lazy properly.

[Anonymous No.20482073]

>>20480398
anon is suggesting that OP should use meal delivery or grocery delivery to order a meal instead and also implying that OP can't afford to do so because they believe grocery store meals are luxe.

Could be worth if they slap that Manager's Special discount on the ones that expire the same day. $5.99 for 16oz of premade pasta is a solid meal.

The ingredient list seems pretty clean on the ones I can read.

I'm guilty of grabbing stuff like potato salad and pre-made salads from the grocery like this. But that shit is like $5 for the salad and $3-4 for the potato stuff (depending on the size). Shit is helpful to add as a side to mains I cook at home. Saves me the trouble of trying to make sides while doing the main.

But I sure as fuck ain't paying full price for a pasta meal like that. It would have to actually be tasty for me to do that, and I only really trust one place to do that (and it isn't walmart or anything local). At that fucking price I might as well order factor or some other meal delivery service shit.

Seeing some of the sad posts on here makes me wonder why they haven't invented dog food but for people.
Literally just kibbles type shit you can pour into a bowl and eat and it will give you all the necessary nutrients you need to sustain yourself.
Seems like a lot of people would buy that shit rather than eat some of the depressing low effort shit I see on here.

[Anonymous No.20485189]

>>20482950
NO OP, but goddamn I will not eat discounted slop that is probably also rancid. This is probably a me thing but leftovers get one day, maybe two in the fridge and if I don't eat them they are gone.

When I'm picking meat, especially chicken or pork I always go to the back and grab the ones dated packed today. I will buy one packed day before if it's only one available and I'm cooking that night.

Probably stupid. I get it. But I grew up with my dad only buying super discounted meat which was obviously shit and my meals were leftovers of that for days.

Alcohol supposedly cooks off in process. Don't understand it myself cuz vodka taste like either nothing or shit.

[Anonymous No.20485223]

I'll never understand how people don't simply cook. Something as simple as a salad takes minutes (less time than driving somewhere and then back), tastes better than any of the slop you normally buy, and is insanely cheap.

>Put pan on heat
>Dice chicken thigh and season
>Grab preshredded lettuce if you're too lazy to dice some
>Put in bowl, toss with preferred dressing
>Toss chicken in pan
>Spend 15 seconds wiping down knife and cutting board
>Optional - Dice additional salad ingredients
>Add additional stuff to salad such as cheese
>Put chicken in salad when cooked
>Wipe pan down while hot, cleans itself
>Done and eating by the time you could drive somewhere

Bonus points - Toss that shit in a tortilla as a wrap. You can use any variety of veg and any variety of sauces for near infinite variety. Greek, mexican, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Indian, etc.

Notice how the retard shifts the conversation away from reasonable convenience like prepared meals or delivery, and begins arguing against a figment of his imagination about cutting up an apple. On some level he knows he's a retard without a point beyond poverty and rage at experiencing poverty, but he still wants to feel like he "won" here, so he starts this nonsense. Yes anon, there is a host of people who have bags of apples in their homes, and they're paying doordash drivers to enter their home and cut the apple for them, that's a real thing. Ugh, the scandal!
