I sometimes remember this, but then I get to the store and a cheesecake is $17 and I suddenly remember I don't actually need it that bad

Unfortunately I need to be gluten free.

Which makes it a $35 cheesecake thats also smaller. Fuck you shoprite, and fuck you gastrointestinal system in my body.

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I'm not gluten free, bur I hate cheesecake. Just add sugar to old cream cheese with no crust. Problem solved.

I know the pain. Reminds me of my last road trip, where the best hot food option available was a pizza place that charged an extra $4 for a chickpea crust. $19 for a tiny, shittier pizza. No, thanks. Doritos and soda FTL.

The main ingredient in cheesecake is cream cheese, and you need like 2 lbs (32 oz) for an average cake, so that's immediately like $9 before all other ingredients

At LiDL or Aldi an 8 oz. brick of cream cheese is like $1.50, so a little less. What blows my mind is that a 16 oz. plastic tub of cream cheese is like $8 at most places. Like, why the fuck does the plastic tub make it 5X as expensive?

yeah my mom makes cheesecakes to sell and never goes under 30 bucks. but i can guarantee it will be the best cheesecake of your life, and that is independantly verified

[–] huquad@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

That's way too much for cheesecake, who's your cake guy?

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 3 points 2 days ago

My local grocery store's bakeshop sometimes puts up an 8-inch boston cream cake for only $12. I don't know why it's so cheap (a similar sized chocolate cake is $18-$22), but I can't stop myself from buying it when it's available. I can't believe a cake that good costs just $12.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Idk, depends how good it is. In today's market, ≤$2/serving is actually pretty good even for middling handmade baked goods. One slice at a restaurant would be 3 times that, on the low end, the high end could be the whole $17 or more. But also, yeah, no one needs cheesecake lol.

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Key lime pie is our benchmark, a new brand will appear for $7.99 or something, and then 3 weeks later they hike the price up to $14. I am not eating a $14 key lime pie from Kroger. Fuck right off with that.

It's funny tho how junk food like pies, cakes, and especially CANDY have taken such an inflationary hike - it's definitely got me eating better, and I am kind of glad for it (and we prove yet again that excise taxes work towards public health, these ones were just done for profit instead of funding waterways or clean air or some shit).

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Cake mix is $5.

[–] theedqueen@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You can freeze leftover cheesecake.

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 1 points 1 day ago

I've never heard of this kind of cheesecake

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

Leftover cheesecake is my new favorite oxymoron.
