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

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

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.
