Bullseye! More cost for a better product is perfectly fine, it's the stretching it out over multiple meals that makes a difference.

You bring up a good idea, if I made it from scratch the Mrs would be very happy
But that Amy's mac n cheese is nice comfort food at home when you don't feel like making a mess
It's pricey, that's what I wanted to share. My 3-cheese isn't cheap, I use a sharp cheddar, gouda and gruyere blend, that's like $15-$20 worth of cheese and...oh I c ur point here
I'd have enough mac and cheese for 3 meals not just a single serving and could use it as a side dish for bigger more expansive meals and lengthen it out over the entire week

If you need one chicken, he'll give you three. If you need five chickens, he'll give you three.Leroy Hoard-ing chickens?Good news. Now I can stop hoarding chickens.Regular large dozen white eggs around here are $4.29 down from $5.99 at the peak.

We've been creeping towards a $1 per. I used to have a handful per week, but have scaled back to 2x per week with $0.89 give-or-take pricing.

No deer hunting?I've decided not to eat anymore. That should save me a few bucks.

Costco has been gradually creeping up from the 4.69 bag. They’ve been like 9.69 or 9.79 here for a few months now. I told myself if they hit the 10+ a bag that I’m out, which stinks because I usually eat 2 a day, so will need to get those macros somewhere else. Hopefully more people do the same and they have to drop the cost. I did notice a lot of brown bags which is usually never the case there.They fluctuate in price through the year.

You can't buy them ad hoc?Since I usually throw half my six pack of avocados away, the jump in price has stopped all purchases.
Congratulations avocado, you played yourself.

Wow, I guess that's a benefit of living close to the border. I normally wait for the sales i.e. 75 cents for the large Haas. The mediums are usually $1 if not on sale.

Never do this. Chop em up before they get bad, pack in a freezer bag and add the frozen avo chunks to a smoothie (i actually do this with all fruit). It will give an otherwise boring fruit smoothie an ice cream texture and actually tastes fantastic.
