I’ve been rocking major cheap status lately. (Ha, I wish. I meant on certain days I’m cheap.) I walked into Vons (which you should NOT do if you’re on cheap status, btw, but I thought I’d give it a shot). Weeeeeeeell look what I found in their bakery section:

2 M&M-like-candies cookies for a buck.5! Please and thankies.

I knew the lighting inside was going to suck, so I took a picture of the cookie in the palm of my hand while it was INSIDE the CLEAR plastic case. See what I did there? S-M-R-T! I mean S-M-A-R-T!

Here it is again. From the label I thought there would be the candies plus chocolate chips, but it was really just the candies. I liked it okay. I mean it was worth the $1.50. It was a bit on the dense side, a little bread-y in that sense. The candies were your standard, average candies. Much bigger than regular M&Ms. Wait.. okay. I just understood that “jumbo” in “jumbo rainbow chip cookies” is to clarify “rainbow chip,” not “cookie.” I thought that the cookie wasn’t very jumbo…

Well something else that’s not exactly jumbo is the hand of the person who put the candies in the second cookie in this box:

There’s a stark contrast to the number of candies in this cookie and the first one. Of course, there were more than two in here, but way not as many as the first one. Points off for inconsistency!

• Taste: 6-7: pretty average
• Crust and center moistness: soft, but dense; bread-like
• Value: $1.49 for 2 cookies. I could justify spending that
• Overall: Pick up these cookies if you’re already at Vons or very close to a Vons and want something that was baked there rather than something in the cookie aisle. They don’t have that “fresh baked” taste, but they also lack that “I was made a month before I arrived on the shelf and then I sat on the shelf for another week” taste, too. 6.
