Alpha Burritos

[Hazel]

ShopRite:
Alpha Burrito - $2.59
$1.00 back from coupons.com
$1.00 back from Ibotta
Final cost = $0.59

Anyone tried these yet?

My Stop and Shop has it for $2.89. Both of these stores are usually more expensive for me, especially in store. Your stores may be even cheaper for a better deal!

@Hazel  I have tried the Philly and the Pizza varieties and liked both, but the Philly is by far my favorite. I have purchased it several times. I have only cooked mine in the microwave (they do get kind of soggy in some areas but that doesn't bother me) but others here have mentioned cooking them in the oven with good results. No ShopRite near me, but for .59 I would say you can't go wrong!

I bought several of these for my son, mom and niece. I could only find them at Weis though at full price which was $4.99. My son and mom didn't like them at all. My niece said it was just ok and would only eat them again if there wasn't anything else to eat. Needless to say, I haven't bought them since but I still have two more Alpha products in my freezer. My mom said I should give them to the dog if my niece doesn't eat them soon. I hope you and your family like them better than my family did.

@Marethundsabre Thanks for sharing! For that price, doesn't seem like it's worth it if your family isn't enjoying them. I think plant based alternative is a bit tough to get right because of various tasting preferences. I prefer real meat.

But for $0.59, I'm open to trying them. I'm going to go with the Philly, thanks for your suggestion! @mom2furkids Does it hold up well or fall apart as you're eating it? I was thinking maybe searing it a little on the pan to strengthen the burrito

@Hazel  My Shoprite is priced at $2.99  (and I'm showing a $1 digital also)

[Hazel]

@FelskyNY Strange. I don't see a $1 digital on mine. Also strange that yours is more expensive, usually it's the other way around.

What's your price for Manitoba Harvest Hemp Seed? There's a $4.00 IR

[FelskyNY]

@Hazel   Same - $5.99 (which would be a great price if I used it)

[Hazel]

@FelskyNY True. I've never tried it but the deal brings it down to $2. Maybe not bad price for adding to smoothies and yogurts

@Hazel The burritos have always held up well for me when eating them. I've never had to resort to using a fork to pick up spilling out pieces anyway! LOL But full disclosure, I do cook them for longer than suggested. This does cause the seams to become hard/crisp, but that's my preference.

[Hazel]

@mom2furkids Hmm, now you got me thinking. Maybe air frying would make it crispy. Like a big spring roll
