I like to bake; I nearly always have some sort of homemade mini-muffins in the freezer, ready for lunchbox snacks. But my children—my poor, deluded children—would of course rather have something in a shiny wrapper, preferably full of HFCS and chocolate, if possible.
I don’t cave on the HFCS part very often, but when I buy them Clif Kid bars they totally think they’re getting away with something, even though they’re organic, have no HFCS, no preservatives, and basically nothing yucky. Every time they go on sale I grab a box or two, and the children go delirious with delight. Like now, Amazon has this 24-pack of Z-Bars for just $9.77 shipped when you buy via Subscribe & Save.
And then, of course, there are more muffins in the freezer for me. So it all works out okay.
Not showing as being available from Amazon now 🙁
Really? For me, it’s priced at $19.74… maybe Amazon likes you better.
gone 🙁
Darn you Amazon and your ever-changing pricing & availability!
dang it…
I’m going to grump for a minnit. (Who, you? Never!)
I really, really wish that food being sold online would have their ingredient list and nutrition panels on display. How else can you check for allergens or figure out if it will spike your blood sugar?
I find there’s an awful lot of stuff I don’t buy that I otherwise might if only I had adequate information.
