Anabar doesn't have sugar alcohols, which my intestines can't tolerate. I happily trade 100 calories for that alone, but also they are delicious.

Costco finished their investigation and has no idea where it came from, and we get to keep the set of Anolon non-stick pots and pans.

I do the Kirkland chewy protein bars. They're only half the protein of the actually healthy protein bars but you can get 42 for $15 so it works out to a meal's worth of calories and 30 grams of protein for a little over a buck.

You know what when I was comparing my options today I'm surprised the idea if buying a cheaper one and eating two of them didn't cross my mind. Maybe next time.

But I've been touting those things for years in this thread. They're not perfect, but the macros are good for a protein bar that doesn't taste like grainy poo poo.

About the best I've found are the Quest Nutrition bars, but even they can taste pretty unremarkable. Some of the flavors can be pretty decent and you might just find one you love. But you can't get them at Costco. The Robert Irvine bars do taste pretty good but contain a lot of bullshit in them, like Maltitol. Pretty much all of big brands of low sugar protein bars use Maltitol as a sweetener, which sucks.

The Kirkland brand ones can be pretty good. I like how chewy they are. But it depends on how low on macros you are willing to go and still maintain some flavor and not need to poo poo your brains out afterwards. Some of those sugar alcohols will go right through you.

Just stopped in to church about my hearing aids being a little on the fritz - they cleaned em up and stayed wonky, so they're shipping off to the manufacturer. 30 minutes beginning to end (and a rotisserie chicken and pumpkin pie, on the side)

I had another baked fitcrunch bar. Still delicious. Too good for this world.

I had bought them years ago, and they ruled then. Hard to say why I stopped other than not being on a workout focus. The solid hunk of bar that you get from Kirkland is fine, different but fine. Kind of tiring to get through the whole thing sometimes. I'm just not as hungry for a snack as I think.

Anyway the PBJ Chef Robert Irvine Fitcrunch bars are on sale and I might actually drop a ton of cash on them.

I’ll pay more for hotdogs if we got the damned condiments that were dropped, and even better going back to the Hebrew Nationals.

I’d pay more for pizza if we could get sausage and vegetables again, cheese and pepperoni are the greasiest and most monotonous options.

I’d pay more for chickens if I could actually get one without waiting with the other suckers in an area that wasn’t designed for 50 goddamned carts to wait 20 minutes until the next batch of chickens is out.

It’s one thing to hold the line in price and quality, quite another to hold a price and drop quality to the point where the low price doesn’t matter anymore.
