Meal prep. Except it’s snack prep. I eat way too many Walmart mini microwave burritos. The 4 oz ones that come in a $4 pack of eight. Basically 11.9¢ per ounce
It’s hard to make an exact clone at home because making tiny burritos is difficult due to the urge to over fill. These are larger so one instead of two for a snack. These aren’t as cheap. 100 ounces of ingredients for $17.38 not including the seasoning. So let’s say 19¢ per ounce but are more flavorful (homemade taco seasoning), better texture because they aren’t 50% tortilla and a whole lot healthier.
So it’s all trade offs. But the results are worth it.
These go into the chest freezer and then get bagged.
Oh interesting. I’m in Canada and the price between block vs shredded is about 20% more for shredded. Even when comparing their own “Great Value” store brand it’s like that.
It always surprises me that I can buy shredded for the same price. I normally don’t because the sawdust coating prevents proper melting, which doesn’t apply instead of a burrito, and block cheese lasts soooo much longer if not opened.
Same price maybe, but check the size/price. I bet they price it the same, but you probably get less volume of cheese. It’s a waste of money to get preshredded unless you have medical bills from shredding your knuckles.
Reread my earlier comment. Everything is priced by ounce. Weight, not volume. I can provide screenshots or links if you’d like.
Nah I trust you, I r just bad at reading
