That doesn't address their complaint at all.
They were saying it is terrible value for money.

And I was saying it's only a "terrible value" if you're going to use the rest of that jar of mustard, or that jar of mayo, or the million other things that BA includes in small portions, but that guy was suggesting buying for "cheaper" at the store.

It's only cheaper if you divide the cost of the jar by 50 servings and superstitiously pretend the other 49 aren't waste (which they are)

Before I used BA I'd routinely buy stuff like that because I like cooking different things all the time. Mustard for instance. I'd use about once a year. Great. Buy some mustard, throw the rest out. Repeat for the other 51 weekend cooking projects for the year (my weeknight cooking was more boring and used stuff I'd actually eat regularly). Head down to Koreatown for random Korean thing. Head down to Chinatown for random Chinese thing. Head over to the Persian grocer for such and such a thing. Head all the way out to where the Indians live for such-and-such a thing.

Lot of exploration got done in that time. Lot of mystery jars in my fridge too. Bags of some weird root that I used once and figured I'd save (eventually I'd throw it out not remembering if it was 2 months old or 2 years old)

One funny thing about people who have an agenda is that the math gets "creative". We see this with the cult of DIY. Oh yeah it's totally cheaper to maintain your own straight razors. Just need a hanging strop, and a belgian couticule, and a diamond impregnated plate to maintain that couticule, and oh maybe a test razor to try out on, and a badger brush, and blah blah blah... what do you mean $490 isn't cheaper than buying blades that cost 25 cents? If you live to be 190 years old it will pay for itself!

Let's step back and recognize that if you want to have some variety in your diet, without wasting stuff, or being a crazy hoarder, BA makes sense.

you can try it for Freee

>You can't buy 3 leaves of lettuce, or a teaspoon of horseradish, or a chive
So you buy in bulk to use for future meals, you moron.

Sure, all six future meals over the next half century where I'm going to use fucking horseradish... are you actually serious?

you might have an intolerance to eggs

that's kind of how it starts

try not eating eggs for a few days and see if it clears up

D'ohh jeeeeezus

That's why when you cook for real, don't buy ingredients you'll never use except for that one thing you make once. If you don't like it enough to cook with it ever again, you should substitute it.
