Boxed mac and cheese beat my homemade recipe for 30 cents a bowl, fight me

I spent 45 minutes making sharp cheddar sauce from scratch last Friday and my kids ate two bites, but the 99 cent blue box with powdered stuff vanished in 5 minutes, so what's the point of pretending fancy is better when the store brand elbows are just as soft?

My kids did the same thing with a lasagna I spent two hours on last month, then crushed the Kroger brand shells and cheese like it was gourmet. Honestly, the secret is just to make the box stuff and toss in a handful of shredded cheddar on top. It takes five extra seconds and they think you actually tried.
