Just 65 cents per serving!
In another effort to get away from eating too many chip snacks, I recently picked up a three pound bag of pistachios at Sam’s Club. Nuts are a nice alternative to chips because not only do they deliver some nice texture and a bit of crunch, they provide some protein and don’t have near the volume of carbs that chips do. And out of all the nut varieties there are out there, pistachios are my favorite and not just because of the flavor they deliver. You get 6 grams of protein and only 8 grams of carbs per serving, a GREAT alternative to those dreaded chips.
Member’s Mark (the Sam’s Club brand) California Pistachios, dry roasted and with sea salt are quite tasty and while it does take a bit of effort to crack a lot of pistachios to make a snack, they are well worth the effort in cracking a whopping 49 nuts per serving. What a satisfying snack! When buying big bags of pistachios like this, I prefer getting pistachios in the shell rather than already shelled, because they stay fresher longer. Member’s Mark pistachios are of high quality as well. Some brands include a lot of shells that you can’t open or are empty, with Member’s Mark dud shells are at an absolute minimum, more pistachio nut bang for your buck.
Costing me $14.98 for that three pound bag, I’m giving Member’s Mark California Pistachios Dry Roasted with Sea Salt 5 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap stars. With 23 servings per bag, that breaks down to just 65 cents per snack! Pistachios are cheaper than chips and more delicious. Becoming a go-to in my snack routine, Member’s Mark Pistachios are wallet friendly and a repeat buy!
$pend Wisely My Friends…
Tip: Having a Christmas or New Year’s Party? An inexpensive treat you can make available to your guests are small bowls of pistachios placed strategically about. It’s a no fuss appetizer! And if you don’t want to deal with shell clean up, already shelled pistachios are the way to go.
