- tedmiston 9y agoI'm not so sure — alternatives at a comparable price are already on the market. I could make it myself and save more but it's not worth the tradeoff of time and inconvenience to save $1–2. Personally my price sensitivity for it is pretty low. At $2–3 per meal, it's cheaper than any other meals besides breakfast throughout the week.
- mod 9y agoThere's a lot of DIY recipes and some are supposedly just as complete and a whole lot cheaper: https://www.completefoods.co/diy/recipes/brets-soylent-oat-rice-complete-low-price https://www.completefoods.co/diy/recipes/brets-soylent-oat-r...
- tedmiston 9y agoDo they solve the shelf life problem though? This is the biggest pain point I experienced with the powder version of Soylent — it's inconvenient that the taste goes off and it starts going bad after just 2–3 days whereas the bottles are good for months or more.
