Been several years since I bought *any* M&C. Last time was at National
Supermarket (now defunct) when they were closing out their store-brand
in packets of five 7 oz. boxes for just U$1. I bought three packs and
still have a couple boxes in the cupboard. That was when I was still in
Trailer-Trash Acres and before I bought this house. Currently my best 
price on store brand M&C is U$0.39 (was U$0.89) Hy-Vee Original Macaroni
& Cheese Dinner - 7.25 oz.

Prices, it seems, have risen. (see tagline)

  UDD NOTES: Barry calls this 'stroganoff'. I wouldn't.
  I was out of summer savory - so substituted a mix of
  thyme and sage - quite successfully. I used store
  sourced wide egg noodles rather than making my own.
