I remember growing up in the 90’s and being acutely aware of the growing minimum wage. I knew no matter what that when I was able to get a job I would be guaranteed “this” amount and always thought about prices and how long I had to work to get something I wanted when I was an adult. Every small bump made it a little mini-celebration like I was getting a future raise that would allow me to have a better life.
Now? Shake and bake costs over 5$, I have to literally work over an hour to buy half a cup of “convenient” seasoned bread crumbs. I could buy the flour, make the bread, and process it to make my own… but now I’m out of time in the day to work enough to actually afford the meat or any other side item. Oh yeah, and at some point I should pay my bills and save for retirement -_-
Dude, you keep missing the point. Instead of stubbornly arguing the same thing, maybe reread and spend some time thinking and trying to understand the conversation you’re participating in so you don’t look so foolish.
So now I’m out the cost of materials AND the time to make it AND the cost of running the oven. That’s probably a net loss compared to just buying the breadcrumbs. And the breadcrumbs are still overpriced.

Buy bread chop it up season and put in the oven at a low temp till it’s as dry as you want
Way to miss the fucking point… 🙄
Cheaper than buying pre made and you don’t have to make bread, 10 min of work
You’re obviously lazy and willing to wast money on premade shit that is now expensive and terrible for your health
Shake N bake is flour and seasoning, make it yourself ffs

Oh I getbthe point, KD usednto be 25c a box now is $3
But that’s what you get for “convenience”
Yeah, we understand you, stop repeating yourself and try to understand us.
How much did the min wage increase over that time period?
If you get the point you’re just being a bad actor.

While i share your sentiment, you still missed the point.
