[quote=Anonymous]Ok, I don't use Velveeta either. But I big old brick of cheese from Safeway is $5. Buy 2, for mixing of cheeses. Buy a brick of cream cheese. Buy some breadcrumbs. And spices (these costs are negligible, and if you cook other things at home, you'll use them. For these amount of cheese, you're literally using like 6 boxes of pasta (always on sale for $1 each). So your costs are: Cheeses - $12 Pastas - $6 Spices/butter, milk, etc... - $6 (I'm really over estimating this with breadcrumbs, spices, parm, milk, flour, butter etc...) That's like $24 for about 24 HUGE servings of Mac & Cheese (4 per box of pasta, which is large main-dish servings). And it's using three kinds of cheese AND I'm factoring in parm (fourth cheese!) and breadcrumbs for the baking process. That's at least TWICE as cheap as the paltry TJ's servings. [/quote]
