Todays TSV kind bars

They sell these at our CVS for $2 each - no S&H and no tax , plus I don't have to buy 20 at a time or wait for them to come in the mail.And, I am not stuck with ones I can't eat like the blueberry (allergic). I don't see it as a good deal.

It's 20 bars + 10 bonus bars which total 30 bars @ 39.98. Shipping is included and tax is only applied if your state has sales tax on food. That's less than the $2/bar at CVS.

It comes out to $1.33 a bar plus tax. Seems like a pretty good deal. You have to like all the flavors though.

The savory ones look interesting. I've never seen those in the grocery store.

I like Kind bars.

IMO, KIND bars are not much different from eating a candy bar. The calorie count isn't bad, but the protein content is lousy. If you want a bar that's going to be a meal replacement and keep you satisfied, Quest Bars or Pure Protein Bars are about the same caloriewise, but have 20 grams of protein.

I never pay more than $1.25 for these bars locally. And I can get the flavors I know I will eat and like.

These aren't a good deal if you don't like some of the flavors.

What is non GMO glucose? Is that a fancy term for corn syrup? Sugar content is high...I'd prefer a banana..portable and probably less addictive than some man made bar.

The coconut almond honey sounds good to me. If I can't find them around here, I think I'll try to make them myself. Anyway, the QVC price sounds good to me because it includes 10 bonus bars. Whatever we aren't particularly crazy about, we can just chop them up and throw them into cookie, cupcake, or muffin batter, or maybe even pancake batter. ...... p.s. I just found a recipe site. Just type in Web Search: Feastingathome.com coconut almond bars

GMO - genetically modified. Meaning the source of the sugar (sugar beets) or corn syrup (corn) were grown without being genetically modified.

Here they are 1.50 and the bars I've tried are 5 g sugar, a heck of a lot less than a candy bar.

I wasn't referring to the sugar content, but the protein, when compared to something like a Snickers or something else with nuts in it. Granted, there are some KIND bars with 10 grams of protein, but that's still on the low side.

Even at a fairly expensive chain I see them on ad at a price of four for $5 all the time. I get mine on Amazon.

I don't know how QVC sells so many of these for such insanely high prices.

In general: Sometimes aren't we a bit too much into counting exact calories? Every time I see Joy Bauer, I think that she is way too thin, compared with more 'healthy' looking hosts on various TV appearances. Just recently saw her standing next to Jenna B. and Hoda, and that's what came into my mind, right or wrong. JMO, and didn't mean to offend. ......p.s. I think Kind Bars are a good alternative.

I'd rather eat a protein bar if I needed something quick or post work out. Never tried Kind bars, they look like fancy granola bars?

Re: Todays TSV kind bars

ROMARY — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:00:27 GMT

Cranberries: Any suggestions? There are so many that it would take a week to figure out which protein bars, etc.

Re: Todays TSV kind bars

Cranberries — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:07:52 GMT

Depends on what you are looking for, nutritionally wise, flavor wise, etc. I personally like Pure Protein bars, Premier Protein bars, EAS bars, MetRx, some of the Cliff builders bars have a decent amount of protein.

Life Choice, bought this at Walmart (typically in the cereal/cereal bar aisle) is more a snack bar, but has a good amount of protein, about 15-20g. Better than say a granola bar.

EASadvantage protein shakes are good post work out, same with Atkins. I could never use them as a meal replacement, I'd be starving!

Just do some research. Some have soy, some don't, some are Whey, some use sugar alcohols.

Food bars and protein bars have never worked for me and just made me fat. I only buy organic now anyway and if I'm going to have dark chocolate it's going to say on the package what percent the cocao is. The higher the number the less sugar there is. If I want to eat nuts I buy them raw and unsalted.

I used to but food from the Q all the time-----EVERYTHING ! Until I saw a food producer on Shark Tank. It cost the vendor $17 to make/package the product and Q bought it from them for $19 ($2 profit to vendor per bag). Q then sells it to us for $50. That's some mark-up .

That's about what I pay. I like few flavors enough to buy in quantity.

The savory ones featured today, I would not eat. It's a decent price though.
