[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious? It takes no time to make homemade foods. Even yogurt can be easily made for less and it's healthier and you can control the quality of ingredients. I don't understand why anyone would buy a frozen waffle or granola bar. [/quote]

I have a job, a husband who travels, a ridiculously challenging toddler and a teenager who is special needs. Oh and no help or family nearby.

So while I'd absolutely never buy a Lunchable, I buy bagels when we haven't made bread. I buy low sugar jam even though I make it once a year if we go berry picking. I make quesadillas because I'm not making my own tortillas or cheese but of course I'll mash an avocado.

We eat vegetables and fresh fruit constantly but on a night I need to get a kid to sports and I have to have dinner for my toddler at 5pm, dinner for my son at 8pm and dinner for my husband at 10 pm, I eat standing up while cleaning and I use some frozen fries or a Trader Joe's frozen meal. If not, it would be takeout (or when I'm lucky, leftovers)

I hate it but I don't know how to make everything from scratch efficiently. I also don't grocery shop anymore so I need everything to be delivered and can't always get ingredients I need.[/quote]
