WhiskeyDisk 01/17/20 11:04:08 AM #53:	Kungfu Kenobi posted... I saw pot pies at the supermarket today, and I was sad I didn't have the freezer space to buy 20 of them. I totally would have, but I was already committed to about 10lbs of pirogies. And I am sure you will cook, consume and enjoy every last one of those delicious pirogies (not at once, but it IS your right to do so). There is no shame in buying in bulk when the price is right, doubly so on frozen foods that will keep for a long time. That's just being a smart consumer. Especially if you live on your own. Knowing you have 2 dozen pot pies sitting in the freezer can provide piece of mind after a long and frustrating day when you know you don't have to think about grabbing something on the way home or what to cook. You can just get home, kick off your shoes and throw one of those bad boys in the microwave or oven and 6-20 minutes later, dinner is served with minimal hassle and clean up. If people are judging you, you look them in the eye to establish dominance and turn their scorn right back at them for they are fools. Fools I say!

adjl 01/17/20 1:02:52 PM #57:	jkdarlow posted... I wonder whats in these pie if theyre that cheap. Most of the typical ingredients for chicken pot pies are actually very cheap, and if they're being mass produced, the labour/energy costs per pie are pretty negligible. The majority of the cost would come from the chicken (and to a lesser extent, butter, which is generally going to be replaced with shortening in something this cheap), so I'd guess they use some kind of byproduct meat, like whatever they could strain out of a pot of chicken stock (which would be used for other purposes or possibly sold on its own) after boiling a few carcasses. Obviously, it's not going to be a very good pie at that price, but you can actually get them surprisingly cheap without having to sacrifice all ingredients that would qualify as food. Given that this is a sale, it's also likely that the store is selling them at cost or at a small loss to use them as a loss leader. WhiskeyDisk posted...

That's not wrong, but you can get the same peace of mind by meal prepping for the week before you have that long day, usually with better food. Labour-wise, there's not much difference between pulling a dirt cheap pot pie out of the freezer and pulling a tupperware full of sesame ginger pork and garlic green beans out of the fridge, but the latter's going to taste better and generally be healthier.
