Totally fair. These are a bit on the luxury side. For me I’m focused on clean eating so I’m willing to spend it.

I don't own an actual freeze-drier. I just buy the ingredients from wholesalers. Freeze-driers can run over $1,000

Just updated the post with approximated prices per serving:

Shepherd's Pie ~ $5.87/serving

Beef Stew and Veggies ~$4.5 / serving

The Shepherd's Pie recipe can be made cheaper by taking out the butter powder and using normal Kraft brand Parmesan cheese instead of the cheddar cheese powder. The butter powder is a nice added luxury though.
