People just don’t realize that it’s ALL TOGETHER. They don’t comprehend it’s multiple servings in one purchase

[ang]

I was just checking your website. I think the real "problem" is that there is no "try out" package size. You gotta commit to 50 pcs. I was scrolling through to find smaller packages, but there are none. Per piece, the price is completely fine. But I live alone, my freezer can't cold more than a bag of dill, and I won't be able to eat them all, so I won't buy for now 😅

[bellapicciano]

maybe make a 20 pack? i’d buy that, especially if it was only $16

[MegaHoopsandyoyo]

Your right in regular math but in broke math ur wrong 😭🤣

[mychuchiii]

You are comparing prepped food in restaurant for store brought frozen food? Do realize they are doing all the cooking process already in restaurants. At home we still gotta prep these frozen pieces…

Don't try looking for excuses, if they are expensive they just are. Not saying the food is bad, but the fact stays that it is expensive.

Price per isn’t the issue, it’s whole cost on an untried product

[successfulyou]

40$ in my country is 4500tk which is my 2month tuition fee💀💀

[Random.Planet]

Because a resturaunt is different then a store they make them for you, they add everything

[pippetandpossum]

YES theyre still really expensive lmao

[fyxleuc]

hey yeah it is expensive lol.. what if they're shit and we're stuck buying 50 pieces too 😅

I live in australia. Soup dumplings are like $10 for like 20 or $7USD

[Daffi_dan_Keluarga]

as an indonesian, yes it is very expensive.

[alexandramicudova]

I think that it would be amazing if you made even smaller packages. For example i have never had a soup dumpling and where i live there is no place which sells them or makes them. So im not sure if i would even like it. This package is just too big for people who have never tried it but want to or just for people who dodnt really want that big of a bag full of dumplings. They look amazing though. I would love to try your soup dumplings one day❤️

[jevilcore]

Yes. That IS expensive. 80 cents for a bite of food is expensive. I’m poor.

[Piiratekang.]

That still don’t make sense for it to be $40 💀

[ilikecheese]

They do ARE expensive, specially for non Americans 😭

[stephng]

frozen dumplings arent the same as restaurant ones wtf 😭😭

[francinesoares]

40 dollars in india could get u 3000+ bags of dumplings/momos

[MagicalBoy]

They’re expensive, not everyone can drop 40 dollars on dumplings they may or may not like. You might have more success just selling smaller packs of dumplings.

[rayreyes]

it probably takes 20$ or even less than to make them and you’re selling them for double i think that’s still crazy, there are people who would love to try your product but can’t afford 40$ for one bag of dumplings you should make a bag with like 25 dumplings and cut the price down by half or even just lower your prices in general because $0.80 a dumpling is pretty insane if you’re making it for around $0.20
