[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so painful to read, I can't do it. Can someone tell me if anyone suggested OP get a Costco membership because it'll more than pay for itself over the cost of a year? Because that would fit perfectly with the hummus recipes.[/quote]

Comparing apples and oranges.

Learning to make a food you enjoy and eat frequently, very cheaply (from shelf stable items), is a frugal way to live.

Buying a Costco membership for a small family is generally not.[/quote]

A quick bit of price comparison at Safeway shows that if I bought a brand that's on sale, I could buy a tub of hummus for less than a quarter of the price of buying the ingredients to make hummus. I'm glad you've been fortunate enough to never be a place where an extra ten dollars on groceries in a week would actually break your budget, but for a lot of people that is their reality. $3 for a tub of hummus on sale can be squeaked out far more easily than an extra $14 to buy the ingredients, even though the latter would make more financial sense in the long run.[/quote]

I'd like to think this is a new flavor of DCUM troll. I think I like it better than Nasty Mean Troll, but I'm not sure...

Also, I think the Costco membership was back on page 2 or 3 but I could be wrong.[/quote]
