Uncle Ben's Rice Bowls 2/$3 at Kroger!! Over 50% off!

[SaltBoy]

All you starving college students (and other bachelors) check it out: Uncle Ben's Rice bowls, 2 for $3 at Kroger -- at least at my local Kroger (Houston), and with my Kroger Plus Card. The regular price is $3.49 each!

Good luck!

Damn no Kroger near me but we do have Fred Meyer (which I think bought out Kroger?)

How do these rice bowls compare to King's Hawaiin? I buy 6 King's Hawaiin rice bowls for $9.99 from CostCo B&M and they're a quick and delicious meal.

Fred Meyer did not buy out Kroger

Perhaps it's the other way around

I used to like these, especially the chicken+veggie bowl. Then one day I blindly munched on one of the chicken pieces and wound up with a mouth full of slimy chicken fat. *gack*

The southwestern bowl is still pretty good stuff though. And the pizza mini-bowl but I can't find that anywhere nowadays. Why the hell didn't they make that into a full-sized bowl (I'm guessing because it's so high in calories or fat so they had to reduce the serving size)?

Kroger did buy the Fred Meyers, Smith's and Smitties chains in Arizona. Now the all operate under the Fry's and Fry's Marketplace name. (No assosciation with Fry's electronics.)
