The Dollar Store is going out of business, 30% off of everything...

[wizer]

So I figured what the heck. I'm strangly attracted to these discount stores...maybe its a throwback to the days when I was really into garage sales. I used to map them out, and hit a half dozen or so on a Sunday. You never know what you might find at a garage sale...but I digress.

The dollar store is going out of business...so what is usually dirt cheap, is even cheaper.

I spent a half hour in there, picked up some odds and ends...they have a grocery section, and I grabbed a half dozen of these packages of microwaveable noodle meals, with various flavors: chicken, beef, etc. It's basically a brick of noodles, like what you find in those Ramon soups, only it's solid not soup. Add some water, 6 minutes in the microwave, add the seasoning packets, and you're done!

For about 70 cents, i got a MEAL, I mean, it actually filled me up. Where else in the world can you get a meal that fills you up for under a buck?

I should go back and get a whole bunch of these things.

I did a Google search.

Here it is, oh and I think it is related to Ramon soups.



Yup, it is a Ramon product.

Here's the website

Just curious - what is the sodium content on one of those babies?

I gotta go look, but it's hard to find the time because I keep running to the water cooler because I am so freaking thirsty for some reason

It's the cardboard and sawdust.

I was thinking it's the sodium, but you just might be right.

I go to walmart and buy the noodles for $1.86 for a 12 pack that is .15 1/2 cents each.
so .70 isn't much of a bargain.

Chico my man, everything is relative.

I can buy those noodles for about 17 cents where I live, but that's all they are.

The meal that is the subject of this thread is much more volume and is not just noodles, it comes with the noodles and as many as THREE different and unique seasoning packets.
