Just Crack An Egg

Tweet

There are so many times I see products come to the market and think, what a TERRIBLE waste of money. Who in the world would BUY this? Who in the world would SPEND their hard earned money on this HIGHLY overpriced product? But lo and behold there are people who do. My brother in law, in fact, is one of them. What in the world? These tiny little containers are hardly a meal. And while I can see where these might be handy on the go, it is just incredibly stupid, if you ask me, to buy these things. They want $2 for one of these. It's basically just scrambled eggs for crying out loud. And by the way, it doesn't come with the egg. It's just a container with some cut up vegetables, maybe a little cheese, maybe a little onion or meat. But is it worth $2? Gosh no. I can buy a dozen eggs for 48 cents. IF I scrambled a dozen eggs, added in some onion, some green pepper, even a little bit of sausage for good measure, some shredded cheese, and maybe a little fried potato, here is my breakdown. One dozen eggs 48 cents One potato (at 10 lbs for $3.99) 20 cents One green pepper 89 cents One onion (at 3 lbs for $1.69) 28 cents One pound pork sausage $2.99 My total cost for making one HUGE batch of scrambled eggs? $4.84! If I broke this down into 12 servings, this would be only 40 cents per serving. That's FAR less than $2, and consider that the actual cost considering the egg is not included is $2.04. But more power to the company that makes these that they have found yet ANOTHER product to sucker consumer's that either don't pay attention or don't care to part with their money. Sometimes what separates the haves from the have nots is just simple common sense and math.
