They're sold in a box of 6 pouches for $7.91 Vent the bag and microwave for 90 seconds. Huge amount too and very good.

@Lovingq Thanks for the info on the rice packets. I like to keep easy sides on hand for when we go "camping" in our RV. I am going to get some on my next shopping trip.

The phones look nice too, but I now answer my home land line on my iPad. ( xfinity) It's really convienent and I can text and take it anywhere there is wifi and answer the phone or make a call and no one knows I am not home. I only use my cell phone where there is no wifi.

My supermarket sells the rice. I second the very good.

Uncle Ben's makes a product similar to Seeds of Change. It's called Ready Rice, comes in an 8.8 oz. pouch, costs $1.79, and is ready to eat in 90 seconds. Tastes good but probably isn't organic.

I'm trying to get away from eating so much processed food, but I love quick things like this as my husband and son are always 'starving' and don't want to wait to eat some nights!

Thanks for the information about them.

You might not find them at all Sam's....prices ending in 1 penny are clearanced so once they are gone they are gone.

I was just going to say that about the price. Anything in Sam's that ends in 91 cents is the beginning of the end. It is going out, not to return.

The trick is, depending on how often you go to Sam's, is .91 means they still have enough but it is going.

Then it will drop to $$$ and 81 cents. The "81 cents" and a "c" up in the right hand corner of the price sign means "this is it. All we got, no more pallets in the back", so that is when you grab it.

I go a lot because it is just down the street. I got a lot of stuff recently that was down to $4.81 or $5.81. Steals.

Thank you @Mistreatedbycs and @gabstoomuch

I have my receipt and the Chia & Kale version was $7.91 and the Quinoa and Brown Rice w/garlic was $10.78. I do prefer the first and so I think I'll go back and get more.

@Lovingq:

Thanks for the recc and pics.

Quinoa is high protein and brown rice high fiber - both super healthy.

Here's their website for more product combos and info:

The line is also available at Target and Walmart, for those of us who don't have, don't need, and/or can't afford a warehouse membership.

How cool is that ? !!! I guess you still have your landline service to pay for ... I have been using my cell phone only for the last 6 years.

I have used the Google phone option when I could not find the cell phone. People freak out when they see a California number on their caller ID and pick up wondering 'who is this ???'.

Went to look at Sam's this morning....nothing.

Picked up some really nice clearance items (Clothing) marked down to $6.81 although the signs were not changed yet so don't rely on those signs, they may have a lower price. Just have to be at the right time and right place.

@Mistreatedbycs sorry your store didn't have the rice. I went back to Sam's today and the rice (Brown & Red with Chia and kale) was marked down again to $5.91. I bought a lot. Thanks for the heads up about the signs not necessarily being current. I too like to look at the clothing.

Right, that is for the Quinoa and Brown Rice.

For the Brown & Red Rice with Chia and Kale it's

sodium 300 mg, potassium 190mg, total carbs 51g,

dietary fiber 4g, sugars 0g, protein 5g

Not recommending to eat this stuff everyday but I think once or

twice a week is fine. Also it tastes really good.

I would rather make cous cous and add my own ingredients

I'm not a cook so I buy this type of food. Had to look up cous cous, heard of it before of course but never had it.

Well, yes, grains *are* carbs But brown rice and quinoa are whole grains. Cous cous is a grain (carbs) too, but unless you're getting the whole wheat kind, you're missing the extra fiber and nutrients. Fair point on the sodium though!

In summary................

Sometimes you eat food just because it TASTES GOOD!
