Forgot to ask in my last reply.

Do these freeze / thaw well? I might stock up if I can put a few packs in the freezer and know they will good for a few weeks.

I've frozen both the beyond meat and the LightLife products, they freeze and thaw well. As mentioned already, the ones at Costco are already frozen. I don't know how they do with a rapid defrost but leaving them overnight in the fridge, they are fine to cook the next day.

I will confirm this. Saw plenty of both products in my local Mississauga Metro. Burger shaped and also ground packs.

They were $7.99 but you got 3 packages so that comes out to around $1.33 a burger. That was a very good deal. It was also on their ground equivalent, which was $9.99.
Are there 2 burgers in a package?

There were plenty of Beyond Burgers at my local Aurora Metro today and I picked up a couple of packages.

I just thought I'd comment that I don't like the inconsistent way they are offered. Sometimes frozen in an actual freezer (Aurora Longo's). Sometimes thawed or fresh in an open refrigerated case (Newmarket Metro). Sometimes frozen (probably thawing) in an open refrigerated case (Aurora Metro). Too much confusion.

I believe they're shipped frozen.

I grabbed a few packs at Zehrs last year as they were just put out (still frozen) and popped them into my freezer.

Want to check out the Sobeys again as I did see a sign today for lightlife burgers - but couldn't recall what it was.

Sobey's has the Lightlife burger on sale this week for $5.99/two pack, and get a second one free.

While I prefer the beyond burger - a friend hasn't tried the lightlife so I grabbed two packages to split.

113g for 20g protein AND 270cal????? Jebus...........

Lean ground beef 100g 21g protein and whopping 140cal.
So if you are not vegan, you can have a 1/4lbs burger for the same calories but also twice the protein. Yet again I fail to see why NON vegans buy this stuff.
It's really simple.
0% cholesterol & they are the closest thing to real beef when cooked on the grill.

Don’t seems like it’s cheaper than regular burger? Or it actually tastes better?

Is this advertised in the flyer? Potential for price match?

Thanks for the heads up. I would not have thought to search the butcher's counter for a meatless product but there it was.

It's not cheaper yet, though it's getting cheaper that it was, and it tastes quite close, though not identical to a burger. If a lot of people were fed this burger (with toppings) and not told it was plant-based, many wouldn't catch it, and some would. Health-wise it's not particularly good for you, though neither is a burger. The market for this is probably animal ethicists or resource-aware people, less so the frugal types or the health nuts.
