$10 for 4 burger patties (1 lb total)?

$10 buys 2.5 lb of TVP.

Or 4 lb of garbanzo beans.

I guess it all depends on your budget and how much you’re willing to pay for doing less cooking.

Amazon has TVP. No idea if it's cheaper than in store*.

• Bob's Red Mill TVP - 4 10-Ounce Bags - $10.28
• NOW Foods Textured Soy Protein Chunks, 8 12 Ounce Bags - $23.92

Prices current as of 2012/01/03.

EDIT: *With subscribe & save I imagine it might be cheaper; not to mention cost of gas and what not.
