Re: Goodness Me! It’s Gluten Free
Meat and eggs are pure protein. Why take protein powder?? No processed foods for me. Keto/low carb is such an easy way to eat and easy to cook up at home and save $$. Meat eggs cheese butter heavy cream. Some broccoli and cauliflower, romaine lettuce. Simple and done. Avocado. I don’t do it to avoid gluten I avoid carbs. For many - gluten free is a fad. But for people that feel like crap it’s some good to do elimination diets and see how your diet affects your health. Sugar is poison so if you eliminate gluten and then eat cookies made from rice flour and xantham gum and sugar - you’re not doing yourself any favours - especially if there are seed (vegetable) oils which are also poison. 3/$5 is $20 a dozen. RibEye costs less and satiates way more.
Stay classy na

Re: Goodness Me! It’s Gluten Free
Wow, great marketing skills.
And you claim to be a guide for people looking for jobs?
Let me guess, gluten-free for diplomats?
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.

I've never claimed to be a "guide for people looking for jobs," I am a CV writer.
My point about the gluten free cookies is - that if you are not gluten intolerant and have never had to buy things at gluten free prices, you can't comment, because gluten free products ARE more expensive, everyone knows and accepts that. You can't compare a home made, decent sized gluten free cookie with an Oreo. Just not the same thing at all. It's not like we can just go and pick up a pack of regular cookies either - there are very few options and all the options are more expensive than regular food.

Re: Goodness Me! It’s Gluten Free
Who’s giving you a hard time? I’m genuinely curious what the cookies at that price are like.rozzieoz wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:22 amIt must be nice to be able to go into any shop and just pick whatever off the shelf, without ever having to check the list of ingredients to find the thing that could make you ill for days.Chad Sexington wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:11 am5 Bucks for 3 cookies! they must be the size of dustbin lids?
If you are not gluten intolerant, you are not in my target market and your opinion counts for zero.
My customers are absolutely thrilled that they can buy cookies and other products, knowing they don't have to worry about swelling up like a beach ball, arthritic pain in their joints, excruciating pain when moving, incapacitating exhaustion - not to mention the unimaginable toilet dramas.
Gluten free ingredients are more expensive, everyone knows that.
Quality costs money.
We check everything we use, to make sure it's safe for our customers.
If you are not a sufferer you really have absolutely fuck all idea what it is to live with this.
And you may have noticed our other prices- we have kept all meal prices within standard price range, so to give me a hard time about the price of cookies is just being a douche for the sake of it.
No need to get pissy, but you have anyway, so I’ll wish you good luck with your new venture, and not bother with you again.

Re: Goodness Me! It’s Gluten Free
From my own experience I suggest you to find a niche business like 'gluten free' rather than a mainstream business because you will have to share the market with few only and margins are way higherrozzieoz wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:08 amAssume whatever you wantego bibere nimis wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:07 amHope it goes well, but given that less than 1% of the population is gluten intolerant, I assume you are also heavily targeting Khmers to make the business sing.rozzieoz wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:05 amMore than triple. The last loaf I bought was a lot smaller than a standard loaf (in slice count) and cost me $9.50. At that price, the bread alone for a toasted sandwich would be close to a dollar.ego bibere nimis wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:03 amnearly triple the cost of standard white bread. What do I win?
Re: Goodness Me! It’s Gluten Free
Some businesses have their own niche, and don't need to worry about customers outside that bubble.vivathedivas wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 4:11 pmWow, great marketing skills.

You compared my product to dustbin lids, that sounds more provocative than genuinely curious.Chad Sexington wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 4:37 pm

Genuinely curious would have been something along the lines of "why are gluten free products more expensive than regular products?"
You push buttons and you push and push until you get the reaction you hope for, then you throw your hands up in the air like you're the victim and people are picking on you for no reason.
Not cool.

Re: Goodness Me! It’s Gluten Free
Then deprive him of that satisfaction by blocking him or her. In my experience, savvy restaurateurs or vendors never indulge argumentative people, it just makes things worse for the seller.
By not taking the bait, you make them look like the idiots they are, and you come out smelling of (gluten-free) roses.
