I live a low carb lifestyle, not diet, but lifestyle. I like an easy meal or snack once in awhile. Like a LC Shake, or frozen meal. I prefer Atkins ( about all I can find around here ). I don't get many of them because they are so expensive. A frozen meal cost's 4 dollars or more. Yet a Slim Fast ( I don't eat them ) is $2.39. Why? Shakes are almost $6.00 for 4, Atkins snacks about $6.00 a small box. Where I live one can't hardly find anything that's sugarless. If I do it cost more than a similar one with sugar. If I made a small salad & decided I liked it sweet, I'd put a pack of sweetener in it. My question is why are sugarless snacks higher than ones with sugar, & LC items higher than regular ones? Just wondering.

Sugar is cheap and ubiquitous. 'Specialty' snacks rarer and they think they've got us for wanting something special. Home made's a lot cheaper, but I get you, sometimes it's just nice to buy an easy treat. (though I find it's usually disappointing and expensive!)

I agree, If I eat bread I make it, same for sweets. Overall I cook most of the food I eat. Honestly I think mine has a better taste. When adding food to my food log I sometimes click a brand I've never heard of. Mainly because if I have fried battered chicken, I've made the flour coating myself. Usually almond, coconut, flax or some added ingredients.
