I've only had them once, like them but they are very high in fat. So if that is a concern, may want to read the label before deciding.

You can get them everyplace for $1.00 - $1.50 each. I see no need to buy from Q unless you're house-bound.

Or if they have some flavor you can't find elsewhere. I would think that Q would have to start lowering the price as these become available everywhere.

I'm not home bound, I've seen Kind bars elsewhere, but the savings was absolutely minimal the way I use them. For those who don't mind a few dozen of one flavor at a time, who have cheaper than 1.33/per, etc. buy elsewhere.

For me, the TSV was an excellent value. Yes, I could have saved maybe $3 or $4 over an 8-month period, but I'd be eating what I really wouldn't want or I wouldn't have the convenience of a bar in the house when I wanted it.

There are so many, many ways to spend money wisely according to one's one wallet and needs and wants. The trick I've found is not to do everyone of them - do the ones that count in your own life.

Everyone of the 40,000+ of us who bought Kind bars is neither stupid nor home bound. I'd bet my first million on that.

I must be the only person who doesn't like Kind bars. I've bought them a couple of times at Kroger and Trader Joe's, and I just don't like them. I bought them expecting to love them.

I love these bars so far. None of my bars are out of date. Most are January or February of 2016 and some are Sept. 2015. I am really liking the Strong varieties. I did get this on auto-delivery as it gives me the chance to find the ones that I like that I can then look for in my local grocery. There aren't many stores here that carry the Kind bars and if they do, there is not a huge variety to choose from. So if I can't find locally I will still have my auto-delivery. I bought these knowing that they are not a product that you can eat on a whim. The calorie count is pretty high but I plan on eating them when I am craving somthing like a candy bar or donut. The Kind bar is a much better choice than either of those.

My sister bought them. She is not "homebound." She works a job that gives her little time to run around and comparison shop. Yes, you could find them a few cents cheaper here and there, but it's still a decent price. For people who work many hours and don't have the time or energy to run to Costco to save 5 cents, it's a good deal. Smiley Happy

I could have sworn my TJ's sells them for $1.49/bar and I didn't see any honey bbq. But it may vary by store and location.

I think if you liked the configuration that was offered as TS, nothing wrong with getting it. But I wouldn't want to get all those flavors (or quantities) unless I had tried them already and knew I liked them (although of course you can return if you don't).

ETA: Went back to TJ's and found the Honey BBQ at .99. Might try them sometime although they do seem pretty high in fat and more than I want to consume right now.
