[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, well, since you talked about Mac and Cheese:

A box of elbow macaroni costs less than $2 at the store and probably contains enough to make three or four dishes.

[b]A 32-ounce box of Velveeta costs[/b] about $9 and can probably make the same three or four dishes.

So, $11 for four dishes is under $3. To serve three or four people.

You don't put a bunch of fancy cheeses in Mac and Cheese anyway.

As for spending $3 a pack for frozen mac & cheese at TJs, how many servings is that?[/quote]

OP here, Ok no offense but I would never use Velveeta. LOL. I only use real cheese. Two boxes of mac and cheese at TJs serves about 4 people. BUt what about the milk and cream you also have to add to the Mac and Cheese? I dont just cook noodles and melt cheese on top, there is more to making mac and cheese than that! Am I just too fancy???[/quote]

[b]Do you know how stupid you sound? You knock Velveeta but you'll buy processed food from TJs and think it's "real" food?[/b]

Op here, I never said TJs mac and cheese was real food -- i said it was processed pre-packaged food that was CHEAPER to buy than making my OWN mac and cheese. The whole point of this post is to get tips to AVOID processed foods -- it's just that I am spending a ton of money cooking from scratch.[/quote]

Yeah, but some dishes (like Mac and Cheese) are basically inherently made with processed foods. I mean, pasta is, by definition, processed. So what are you going on about?[/quote]
