My 2000 cal dinner. Delicious. What you think?

Is that a popcorn bowl?

I measured it out. 1000 cal of spaget, 480 in the jar of sauce. Then I later added 500 calories of freshly grated parmasen

No, just a big bowl I bought at TARGET

Not enough cal to be Good 'go 'za

goodgoza???

What's that?

is that 'go 'za in a can

$9 is "worth it" for sauce...?

two sticks of celery, two carrots, an onion, three cloves of garlic, a couple slices of bacon, and some herbs dried or fresh with a tin of whole tomatoes costs half that much. you can make it arrabbiata or heavy on basil or garlic or however oily or watery you like it.

i do not understand paying for someone to make sauce for me at home

Why does everyone who makes literal slop always eat it literally off of their keyboard?

Are you on the spectrum?

I ate it in my bed, bitch.

go to GFS and get the frozen meatballs. 1oz size. ad four of those bad boys to this. I like your style OP

Nice 'go 'za, bruh!

what is GFS?

>two sticks of celery
>sauce

uwot

Gordon Food Services.

>$9
jesus h. christ what

Considering you have to buy all those ingredients in bulk you're getting pretty close to $9

Throw in time value of money and buying jarred sauce is way more efficient

you ever have raos? Its worth it.

I feel ya bro

>he's never shopped for produce in his life

>not knowing mirepoix

does anyone have that blue ice cream noodles image?

There are actually people on a fucking cooking board who think it's better to buy jarred sauce than make it yourself.

Let that fucking sink in. And you just know they're all Americans who weigh 200 kg, the exact same people who constantly make fast food threads. They've never tried homemade sauce in their life, if they had they'd realise that jarred sauce doesn't compare.

>Two sticks of celery
Can't buy two sticks of celery. You need to buy a bunch. That's $1.77.
>two carrots
Can't buy two carrots. Have to buy a bag or a bunch. That's $3.
>an onion
$1.49/pound; we'll say a small onion, so $0.80.

>three cloves of garlic
$0.50

>a couple slices of bacon
Can't buy a couple slices of bacon. Have to buy a whole pack. That's $5.99.

>some herbs
Elaborate. They are not cheap.

>a tin of tomatoes
$1.88

Total is more than a jar of Rao's sauce and it will mostly likely not taste at all the same. Rao's is particularly good. I'm not sure what they put into it or how they make it, but it is damn good.

calm down mr. assburger, pasta sauce isnt exactly complex

What the actual fuck mate. Where are you getting those prices?

Bunch of celery: 60p
Kilogram of carrots: 45p
Kilogram of onions: 70p
Three cloves of garlic: 10p
Packet of bacon: £1.50
Fresh herbs: 70p
2 tins of tomatoes: £1

That'll make about 4 portions of sauce, with some ingredients left over. No idea how much that jarred crap gives.

$9 of ingredients would make 3-4 jars worth of sauce

That's the point dumbass. It's easy to put together and tastes a lot better than canned so more people should make it themselves.

Yeah, right. A Brit talking to me about prices. DESU most prices in Bongland are the same numbers as here. If I pay $4 for 4 liters of milk here, I can expect to pay £4 for the same amount there. On top of the 20% VAT.
Your sauce will never be as good as Rao's either btw.

Lmao, how do americans manage to be so stupid?

4 litres of milk costs £2 here, and the VAT is included in the price unlike your shitty country

Big Ben is chiming - isn't that the call to prayer for you people?

>buying ingredients for the equivalent of 10 jars of this sauce is more expensive than 1 jar of sauce so clearly it is less economical
this is a bait thread
I am being baited
please stop

It defies logic, but Americans really are that stupid.

raos in vegas is awesome.

>pic

lmaoooooooooooo

whats with """""great""""" britain and this autistic surveilance on their citizens?

>Can't buy two sticks of celery
>Can't buy two carrots
>Can't buy a couple slices of bacon.

what is this shit country where you cant buy small quantity goods? i can buy a single bacon strip in a market nearby, what the fuck is this.

Ha Ha Ha
Fat fingers on the keyboard, Humpty!

Where do you live that you cannot buy individual vegetables?

Also if you absolutely must buy bulk then you can make a lot more sauce than that single jar so really its the price of those ingredients vs 4 jars of Rao's. Much more cost efficient to make it yourself.

maybe op is just too lazy to make his own sauce

i have made me own sauce. There is sometimes like yesterday when I was out/busy all day and din't have time, you fucking morons

>Considering you have to buy all those ingredients in bulk you're getting pretty close to $9
>what is cost per meal?

Why is your sauce all lopsided?

that looks more like 400 cal of pasta

What if the shopkeeper just found her sweet and wanted to know her age?

It's fine to be lazy but the retarded rant defending it as cost-effective is deserving of mockery.

Personally I don't eat any refined grains as they're awful for your health. It also has terrible presentation but I never gave a shit about that, I'm sure it was delicious. Very little effort to make too. 2/10

well, it was about 10 oz. It's a deep bowl

well, was whole wheat pasta. also , did over 15 miles yesterday (walking/hiking)

>Delicious. What you think?
I don't know, I can't taste it you fucking retard.

>classic

>Can't buy small amounts of food
Do you order everything online?
Even if you ask icely for two grams of cheese they'll give you two grams.
