This mornings breakfast was a little on the pricey side…
Vegan Raspberry and Chocolate Overnight Oats Parfait…with Pistachios which came at a premium!
Raspberries… €5.00
Pistachios… €5.00 (if I had of both the de-shelled bag it would have set me back close to €10.00!!!!)
When I saw the bag of roasted de-shelled pistachios priced at €10.00 I almost fell out of my standing, though had I not found a cheaper bag, shells included, I would have taken the hit. That’s how much I wanted them!
Ok so I didn’t use the full bag of Pistachios for my Parfait….
Oh so worth it!!! 
I just now need to come up with some other fantastic ways to incorporate them in my meals. I better not become too fond of them, between them and the Pecans I’ll be counting out my pennies.
Why are nuts so darn expensive?
More of a statement than a question in my mind but I figured I’d Google it as I have a tendency to do when the answer escapes me which usually proves quite successful….
Not today! Basically just a whole load more people asking and complaining about the price of nuts!
Nuts I’ve found to be most expensive
- Pistachios
- Pecans
- Pine Nuts
My Favourite Nuts

You can see my problem!
