Michael, no apologies necessary for knowing those prices, and I hope I didn't offend you. I am a foodie at heart myself, but dang if my 16 year old doesn't beg me to buy the blue box of mac and cheese! She will NOT eat the homemade version, no matter how many recipes I try.
My parents were recently here for some medical treatment (they live in UP Mich), and after steaks, homemade soups, roasts, chicken, even fajitas, one day she asked me for Colonel Sanders (KFC), because it is comfort food from her younger days and they don't it where they live. We happily obliged!
