..why certain varieties of Mac & Cheese cost $0.95/box.

Frankly, I would have expected more from the likes of Kraft, even at that price. Hell, the cheese packet only had like a teaspoon of powdered cheese goodness which left it tasting like, well, "nothing."

On the otherhand, the Kraft Brocolli and Cheese Selects box for $2.19 (x >$0.95:|) was scrumptuous......

That is all.

Why not buy a 2 lb. pack of macaroni, a 5 gallon jug of cheddar cheese, and a pound of brocolli? $10 lifetime supply of mac and cheese!

A pack of macaroni and a block of cheese really isn't that difficult to get yourself...

Well, I usually make spagetti, but I was really sleepy this afternoon and wanted dinner on the cheap....at least I spent almost nothing and still got 50% tastiness.

Ragu express? Although that tastes pretty bad also.

While the shapes do add a whole new dimension to the meal, I feel I don't get as much actual macaroni in the boxes with shapes as I do the normal boxes. Maybe it's just me...

Mac and cheese is crap on so many levels. There are just too many alternatives to eat that are much better for you and just as cheap.

Mac & Cheese is a magic food!

But the secret: More butter than milk and 2 packets of cheese. Toss the rest of the macaroni.
