adjl 01/30/22 12:20:25 PM #10:	I was going to say that that sounded interesting, but that was when I thought it was a homemade "KD hack," in which case I figured there was already enough effort going into making it that it'd be worthwhile to just make proper mac & cheese and have an even better product. But that's not the case. That said, mac and cheese with italian sausage (or any ground meat seasoned like italian sausage) meatballs, sage, apples, and onions? With a parmesan- or Swiss-heavy sauce? That'd be awesome. Really, basically this recipe, only adapted into mac and cheese instead of squash: https://www.wellplated.com/sausage-stuffed-acorn-squash/ Incidentally, that recipe is amazing. I'm not usually a squash guy, but that was an incredible couple of suppers. Would highly recommend. --- This is my signature.

adjl 01/31/22 11:24:10 AM #19:	Revelation34 posted... They're 50 cents each. Good luck making an 8.5 ounce meal for 50 cents. Long grain brown rice is $13 for an 8 kg (281.6 oz) bag at Costco. Black-eyed beans are $23 for a 10 kg (352 oz) bag. Split evenly (4.25 oz of each), that'd be 8.5 oz for 47 cents. Those are also Canadian prices and include delivery (I'm just going by the website, buying in-warehouse would be cheaper), so that's 37 cents US if we go just by the exchange rate, and even less with the in-store discounts. The water cost is negligible (~$1 per 1000L here, you'd have to work to use more than 10L), seasoning costs are pretty negligible (especially if you buy in bulk; grocery store spice bottles are a massive ripoff), and you've got something more nutritious for less money.

Straughan 01/31/22 11:32:44 AM #20:	Due to the supply chain shortages, this item stopped appearing locally at my grocery stores. You'd think it was trash quality, but this was probably my favorite sandwich to get from anywhere. I like it better than any fast food chain. There was just something really good about the chicken. I used to get two of them on cheat days because I loved the taste so much. I tried to copy it with chicken patties, farm slice cheddar, and a similar bun, but it just isn't the same. Ironically the chicken patty itself seems to be lower quality and mixed with bread, but it has a chewy consistency to it that I love. Each bite is dense and filling. Now I can't have it anymore. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/1/2/AAfGAbAAC3vk.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/1/3/AAfGAbAAC3vl.jpg --- "Torture experiments.

If $40 all at once isn't feasible, split it up: Buy the bag of rice for $13, then split your 50 cent meal in half and supplement it with 4.25 oz of rice so you get two meals for 42 cents each. After 66 meals, you've saved $5.28. After four bags of rice, you've saved enough to buy beans instead of the KD. And that gets even better if I stop being lazy and convert those figures to USD so I'm comparing properly to that 50 cents (at 37 cents per meal, you're saving $10.66 over the course of a bag of beans, which is 37% of the cost of both bags). Of course, all of this is ignoring that if you're in a position where you genuinely struggle to save up $40 to spend on 3-4 weeks of food, you're generally going to be able to tap into food banks, food stamps, and other support resources, making it even easier to reach that point of being sustainable. Those breakdowns require a some capital, yes, but it's not really that much, and they can often be taken in more manageable steps. Even with the plan outlined above, you can make it even more affordable by splitting the first few bags with one or more other people (which means it takes longer to save the value of your own bag, but that's always the tradeoff). These breakdowns do work, you just can't expect to buy 18 kg of food at once without some long-term planning. --- This is my signature.

adjl 02/01/22 12:15:29 AM #32:	Revelation34 posted... Apples also cost far more than 50 cents. I just bought a 3 lb bag for $5.51 US, which is like 10 apples. That's maybe half of an apple on that plate, if not a quarter, so somewhere in the range of 15-25 cents worth of apple, if you were looking at buying it fresh. In practice, that's very obviously not fresh apple, and was likely diced up and thrown into the sugar sauce as much as a year or two ago, which makes it a lot cheaper for the company to produce it than including fresh apple would be, but comes with a very substantial loss of quality. Ultimately, though, you are indeed going to struggle to find something comparable to that meal for 50 cents. Heck, you're going to struggle to find that meal for 50 cents, given that it's normally seven times that and Helly just found it on clearance (which probably means it's going to be hard to find it at all fairly soon, unless his Walmart just happened to find a buttload of nearly-expired ones in the back of their warehouse that they wanted to liquidate as quickly as possible). It's a lot easier than many people think to cook quality meals from scratch without spending more than something more processed would cost (especially if you have the initial capital to buy in bulk), but capitalizing on the occasional good deal in the clearance section can still save some money if you don't mind compromising on quality. --- This is my signature.

That's maybe half of an apple on that plate, if not a quarter, so somewhere in the range of 15-25 cents worth of apple, if you were looking at buying it fresh. In practice, that's very obviously not fresh apple, and was likely diced up and thrown into the sugar sauce as much as a year or two ago, which makes it a lot cheaper for the company to produce it than including fresh apple would be, but comes with a very substantial loss of quality. Ultimately, though, you are indeed going to struggle to find something comparable to that meal for 50 cents. Heck, you're going to struggle to find that meal for 50 cents, given that it's normally seven times that and Helly just found it on clearance (which probably means it's going to be hard to find it at all fairly soon, unless his Walmart just happened to find a buttload of nearly-expired ones in the back of their warehouse that they wanted to liquidate as quickly as possible). It's a lot easier than many people think to cook quality meals from scratch without spending more than something more processed would cost (especially if you have the initial capital to buy in bulk), but capitalizing on the occasional good deal in the clearance section can still save some money if you don't mind compromising on quality. </quote> ...

adjl 02/01/22 1:03:38 AM #34:	That would make sense. I suspect the whole "high quality ingredients" thing drove up the price enough to turn off those looking for cheap TV dinners, but nobody that's actually looking for high-quality ingredients buys Kraft TV dinners from Walmart to get them, so they fell into a very low-demand middle ground. Martha Stewart ones may occupy a similar price/quality point, but they at least have branding that will help sell them (whereas Kraft is recognizable, but pretty much everyone's opinion on them is either neutral or negative). --- This is my signature.

helIy 02/01/22 3:08:47 AM #35:	no i think it's that they cost $1 more than they should have for the amount in them although i do have to say that the quality of the ingredients is relatively high in comparison to other frozen dinners but the martha stewart ones are twice as expensive, though much larger. like "dinner for two" amount --- and you know what they say about a guy with big shoes insecurities and self esteem issues <cite>helIy posted [p:962263363] in kraft maca...

Revelation34 02/02/22 12:24:36 AM #38:	I should check mine for clearance stuff the next time I go. But definitely not buying a Martha Stewart one even at that price. I bet those Life Cuisines taste better anyway. --- Gamertag: Kegfarms, BF code: 2033480226, Treasure Cruise code 318,374,355, Steam: Kegfarms <cite>Revelation34 posted [p:962290832] in kraft maca...

ReaperCloud 02/02/22 6:20:22 PM #39:	Went shopping to three stores and only one had a Kraft type meal as shown in the first post...but it came with broccoli. They had like 30 of them. Others mentioned it, and I have to agree with them that this was cancelled. Probably cost too much to make since it wasn't too bad for you to eat. I'll keep looking but I only shop once a week. --- "You can't make a choice, if you don't really know what all the choices are...can you?" - Sam Silver <cite>ReaperCloud posted [p:962311379] in kraft maca...
