That seems like a solid deal on a Direto XR for my fellow Canadians (CAD 649):

I have this and it’s “fine”, especially for that price.
I seem to have to weigh in twice for it to connect to the app via bluetooth which is a minor annoyance but still an annoyance. Would be nice if the app would sync with something other than Google Fit but I’m guessing Garmin isn’t helping because they have a competing product.
There are some screaming deals at mybikeshop right now. Jet RC4 rim brake set was showing for $675.

More of case of it’s a deal if you can find it. I’ve long enjoyed the Aussie Bites you can get at US Costco – sorry to our Australian friends, but that’s the product name and I can’t speak to whether it is “traditional” as it claims to be.
We also have a Business Costco in our area, which offers a different shopping experience, as it’s more targeted to, well, businesses. I was just there recently and stumbled across packs of individually wrapped Aussie Bites. The “consumer” version has no individual wrapping – they last OK in the fridge, but dry out after about a week. The individually wrapped ones are good for another 10 months.
Cost wise, they work out to be about $0.50 each. Two of them make a decent mid ride snack, so a buck for a snack seems like a deal to me. So, if you have a Business Costco in your area, you may be able to find them.

If we’re talking Costco, it’s hard to beat the Rice Krispie treats. $13.29 for 60 works out to be $0.2215 per treat. You can splurge and get the variety pack for $13.99 for $0.2332 per treat.

Can confirm Aussie Bites are tasty; will look for individually packed version at our local Business Costco.
On the Costco tip, these are a fraction of the price of the sport branded stroopwaffles and basically the same thing. I think my wife paid $7 for a box of 40.

Costco.com is showing $50 for 3 boxes of 40 (that is a LOT of waffles!!)

Those are good. I also like Welsh’s fruit snacks from costco… 17g of carbs per package and doesn’t take up much stomach space.

Do you use this pre ride or during rides?
I’ve been eating waffles as pre workout breakfast and I feel they work better than regular bread…

I’ve never used those waffles for riding, but have used both Untapped and Honey Stingers on the bike.
Those in the link have a caramel inside (I’ve had them on United flights), so I do wonder if they might be sticky on the bike.

So… that YT Izzo Uncaged for $5k… It comes with full XX1 AXS (including AXS seatpost), DT Swiss XRC1200 wheels, and SID Ultimate suspension.
That’s a damn impressive build spec… I’d wager retail for the components is darn near $9k.
Kinda crazy with that build, the bike itself is still around 26 pounds.
