the meal bars are great. they satisfy hunger while remaining good to eat month after month. recently tried the shakes, not as flavorful or filling as the bars but good in a pinch. the bars are so good and easy that i keep ordering them even though the price is very high. i vowed i would quit them after the price increase but that boycot didnt last long. the website is very buggy, constantly having to tell it i am not a robot. it is a struggle to endure to put in an order. my bank disables my card everytime i make a purchase because jimmy joy bills out of the netherlands (i am in usa). all those hassles and the high price would be enough to lead me away from jimmy joy but there is no alternative to the plenny bar. if i could buy something as good for less money from anyone else, i would. there simply is no alternative. they got me by the short hairs. i am a captive customer. the discounts you get take some the the cost-sting away, but it still hurts the wallet.
