American wanted to make “a good mac and cheese” He wanted something that doesn’t come in a box, so he went out and got the ingredients “This is how you know we're screwed. How much money do you think it cost me to make mac and cheese? Just take... a guess” He shows the ingredients he got that are needed to make the macaroni and cheese. To make it himself the cost was nearly $90…. Prices in America need to come drastically down “The younger generation is screwed. How are people surviving?!”show more

Bro bought 7 blocks of gourmet cheese

Nah, no. You can make high quality Mac and cheese for under $20 and feed the family. This is not accurate. I know because I’ve made it from scratch for years.

Bro bought the most expensive cheese an is complaining

That’s 16 servings of pasta alone. Meaning each portion is about 5 dollars max.

LOL. Elbow Macaroni, $2. Block of 2 types of Cheese. 2X$4 Splash of milk from the fridge. Salt, pepper.

You do not need the fancy cheese for good Mac and cheese and including expensive spices most people already have is cheating. I use, cream cheese, block of sharp cheddar, evaporated milk, elbows, salt, mustard powder and chicken broth and it's delicious. And cheap. Some cheese can run you $20 to $80 a block depending on what you're buying. Stay out of the specialty cheese aisle.

🤔

You bought like 8 more things than you actually need. So of course it's expensive.

Yes, prices for food in America are astronomical but I’m not about to pretend like this man didn’t buy gourmet cheese, and name brand stuff. There’s a way to make good Mac n cheese but cheaper.

Less than $5.00 in ingredients.

What do you add to Mac and Cheese to make it better?

2 girlfriends took a road trip. With gas, tolls, room, meals and antiques bought. Total: $40.20 Found in a book I acquired. 1934.

I think the problem is that people buy food without looking at price tags and doing addition in their head. I mean, the cheese alone, that's like 7-10 bucks a block and he bought like 8 of them. Wtf did he expect?

How much is the cost per serving? Why all the fancy cheeses & bread crumbs? Why evap milk AND heavy cream? Don't buy Cadillac ingredients when you have a Ford Fiesta budget. Below is all stuff you likely have on hand. Purchased, it's about $12 & you don't use all of it.

The best white people Mac n cheese recipe starts like this "step 1, Google black people Mac n cheese recipe"

How much is he making? Unless you're putting ham or some other protein in your Mac and cheese, most of the items necessary to make it should be in your pantry.

My wife makes this dish for $10. This guy is just a retard.

Its because he DoorDashed each individual ingredient separately at 2:30am and financed it through Klarna.

Those choices were not necessary 🙄 could’ve been done with $40, and would serve multiple times. These videos just taint the actual issue

The younger generation is not screwed because of the cost of groceries. The younger generation is screwed because they don't have common sense enough to know it doesn't take 7 blocks of gourmet cheese from an upscale market to make such a simple dish. With no sense of economy, you will always pay more than you have to. Also, this is what happens when you let men in the kitchen.

people are surviving by shopping smarter than that buy what's on sale, make it work

Then he has no clue about how to shop.

I agree that prices are out of control, but that amount of food is not needed to make mac and cheese.

Bro, that will make like 10-12 servings probably. Or more! Also, you don’t use all the seasoning either which is probably like $15-20 just in spices with those 3 bottles….that many already have in spice rack. So maaaybe $65 for like 10-12 servings = $5-6per serving. Not bad! 🤝

And he buys a bunch of high end pricey cheeses and other stuff. He could have made a decent Mac and cheese with flour butter and just two cheaper cheeses.

Who the f puts bread crumbs in Mac n cheese. It's Mac n cheese

Yeah, we are screwed, but this argument is flawed. That would make lots of servings. You have to look at the cost per serving. And who puts bread crumbs on mac and cheese? 😅

@GuntherEagleman You can make anything $90 if you try hard enough. On the other hand, you could make the same thing for 3 or 4 bucks if you try hard enough.

The regime has turned the simple act of feeding your family into a luxury. That $90 receipt is the direct result of printing trillions to fund foreign wars and green delusions while the dollar collapses. They want you eating processed sludge because a healthy, self-sufficient population is harder to control. This is not inflation. It is looting. They are stealing the wealth of the youth to prop up a dying system. The middle class is being deliberately liquidated.

Looks like he’s making Mac and cheese for a small army. It’s the expensive cheese he bought that ran his bill up. But hey, buy what you want and then bitch about it on ticktok.

Where did you get that ridiculous recipe? One box of macaroni one cup of milk at the most. And a block of Velveeta. What's with all the spices? You could get all at Aldi for less than five bucks

those seasonings alone were prob $30

Oh Bs I can make home made Mac n Cheese for 12.00 for an army. Penne 3.00 for a giant box. 2.50 for a gallon of milk. 3.50 for 4 sticks of butter. 3.50 for two bags of three cheese blend. And I’d have milk and butter left over.

I experienced this thanksgiving. My sons love Mac cheese so thanksgiving I wanted to make them a really good homemade one- mine wasn’t $90 but it definitely would have been cheaper to buy it pre-made . Cheese is expensive as shit
