But I loved it. Also this has Shrimp removed, because it was on the OG chart due to an error and this is an updated version.

Where do they get cashews that cheap?

[-] ericbomb@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

They said Walmart is the source... so off I go!

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Cashew-Halves-Pieces-27-oz/315393128?classType=REGULAR&athbdg=L1200&from=/search

Based on the nutrition label the container has 4,320 calories at about 10 dollars.

So 1 dollar for 400 calories, or .25 for 100.

But given they reference walmart and USDA it's very likely these are not accurate outside the US.
