Some times one questions how the price of an item was decided on. Like take for example pickles, there are multiple options at the store although they all have basically the same ingredients.
One could claim one is paying extra for the brand. That would be fine if the brand was actually good, though lots of times, I have found the no name brand or store brand is better than some specific big name brand.

Over the past two days, I was living off of 5min quick make foods meaning one just needs to add hot water, stir, and wait.
Each meal/cup had a dry weight of about 60g and ca 250g wet weight. And it would take about 3 cups to be satiated.
Considering that the price per cup ranged from 0.80-3.50€ and the convenience factor, it can be quite an expensive luxury, depending on what price tag one puts on one’s own working time.
If one’s working time cost is 0.00€, then one is looking at 10.50€ per meal. Now considering one would buy the raw ingredients, which would on average cost only a fraction of the price, then one quickly realizes the luxury of such quick convenience foods.
@barefootstache meal prepping can help get the convienence of the storebought instant food for the price/health of the ingredients, but you tend to lose on shelf life without the commercial preservatives. I need to learn about making dehydrated meals.
