I truthfully haven't bought any in probably 10 years. I just keep hoards of dry noodles and cheese around at all times lol

Yeah actual price breakdown was $1 for the mac + 50 cents of butter if you’re being accurate, and $13 for the rack of ribs + ~$1 in seasonings. This is half a rack and half a box so about $8 for the plate.

I think they're just pointing out the juxtaposition of the effort and quality of the ribs vs the low effort low quality mac and cheese.

Actually my store brand is nearly identical quality, also in a blue box, and currently on sale for 25 cents. So not far off. The milk and butter to make it probably costs more.

Dang that’s a steal! I don’t think I’ve seen boxed mac that cheap in a long time.
