I don't dislike Dave's but I do find it way overpriced for what it is. It's just bread and it's like twice the price.
Never had their bagels though, didn't even know they make bagels.
it’s a lot closer than that by me, especially if you’re comparing decent breads.
My backup bread options (Sara Lee, Nature’s Own, Arnold) range from $4.29 to $5.29 for 20oz loaves, while Dave’s is $5.79 for their standard loaves, and $6.69 for their jumbo 27oz loaves.

Dang, the Franz whole wheat I usually get is only $2.99 a loaf.

Not bad! Literally nothing, even the absolute shittiest Wonder bread here is under like $3.50 or so. Most of the good stuff is well into the $4 and $5 range.
Grocery prices kind of suuuuuck lately.

Yeah, when I go into the stores for snacks the bill is way higher than it used to be. It's to the point where the HelloFresh thing I'm doing looks better than doing grocery shopping myself again.

What you pay for a HelloFresh meal is much higher than you would pay if you took the recipe and went to the grocery store for the same ingredients (assuming you actually divide the costs of things like a container of sour cream or chicken stock over the number of meals you end up using them for eventually), even with ever-rising grocery prices.
That doesn't mean HelloFresh isn't worth it - there's plenty about it that provides enough value to many people to be worth the cost, but it comes in other less tangible areas. If you were looking primarily at ingredient costs though it's a terrible deal.

Hot take: Dave’s Killer Bread has too much extra stuff in it
And I’m a man who likes a little extra stuff
Just not every whole grain and seed known to existence in a single loaf

I normally hate a bunch of stuff in my bread but my wife has been getting it lately and I gotta admit, Dave's is pretty good.

They make all sorts of bread though! They have regular ass white bread that rocks. Same with whole wheat, sprouted whole grain, and rye. And like, 3 different “levels” of seeded whole grain breads.
I feel like a paid spokesperson. But their bread just kinda kicks ass. You could say it’s killer.

Nah the primary reason I'm doing it is that it provides an impetus for me to actually cook instead of letting depression funnel me towards whatever is in the fridge, if anything is. Being in the kitchen for an hour or so every other day helps to feel like I'm doing something.
The variety of recipes to pick from also helps with broadening my palette. It's gotten me to try things like couscous, roasted vegetables, yogurt sauces, etc. Also eating vegetables in general. Prior to it I never had anything to go with a "meal" whereas just in today's lunch, leftovers from dinner, I have chicken, roasted carrots, roasted potatoes, and some sauce to drizzle over it.

We tried it for a while and it ended up not being for us though. It was ok as something that forced me to cook more, and more specifically to stick to cooking outside of some of the usual staples that I would lean on too heavily because they made the kids happy. The selection wasn't doing anything to broaden our palates though and it didn't take long to start getting a little tired of the way certain things repeat (the sheer number of dishes that use potatoes as sides, usually only prepared in one of a few different ways; the way certain vegetables like carrots get used as a side so often; the reliance on ground beef, pork or turkey for so many recipes, and so on). When you combine that with the premium that you're paying for what are actually really cheap ingredients the vast majority of the time we ended up writing it off as an interesting but failed experiment.
But that's just us. It's great that it works for other people and that you're getting a lot out of it!
the sheer number of dishes that use potatoes as sides
I'm sorry to hear they didn't give you enough potatoes dishes. You'd think with potatoes being so cheap they'd be able to do multiple potatoes side dishes per meal!
I could swear I've seen Mt Dew Pitch Black before but never in cans. So I got a pack to try and it's pretty good. Not a particularly strong flavor that makes it stick out to me but it's tasty.
I say if your chilli's not got enough spice to make you sweat a bit, you're just making stew.
Actually, I should make some chilli for dinner too.

It's like twenty degrees out and spitting snow, so for lunch I went to the "Irish" ""pub"" down the street and had a cottage pie and a pint of Guinness while I watched the weather be complete bullshit on the other side of a third story window.
Perfect dining experience, five stars.

honestly? I like their powerseed because it has a lot of protein from all of the stuff they add to it, and it helps meet my dietary needs
they have breads with a lot less stuff, if that's more your speed
Yes, exactly.

I went to college in southern Minnesota where there's was a large population. I regret not taking better advantage of the restaurants.
I probably stretched the spice just past the point that my 4-year old will notice and then reject the food
More for me!

And that's not me saying British cuisine is the worst. Though I am implying it.
But then I don’t know that much about Britain.
Hey Brits, what do you got that’s best in the world?
Fuckin’… woolen sweaters?
I can feel my blood pressure rising just fantasizing about it.
I am never making risotto again.
