The great hummus crisis of 2017

Given I can get it for £1 in a shop is it really worth the hassle?

Yes, that would be our view, too. We tend to have a fad on it from time to time; hummus on ryvitas as an evening snack, for example. But I'm not sure what it does to my waistline .... We always try to get the reduced fat ones.

We have a tin of chickpeas in the cupboard so we can make it any time. We do buy it sometimes, but it's not as if you have to buy anything specially, once you have a jar of tahini - but you can make it without that.
If you have a mini-chopper it's under 5 minutes with half a tin of chickpeas and makes loads.

Di, I do mine in the blender using sesame seeds a garlic clove and a squeeze of lemon juice with a bit of S&P. I freeze half coz I cannot get through all of it in one go. 32p max for a whole batch.

Unlike Ria I am a cheapskate and will go through any hassle for a good hummus.

And that for me is probably one of the main reaons - I'd just never get through loads of it. I do like hummus - a lot - but like it as a now and then thing
