walmart thick and creamy mac and cheese > kraft all day every day fuck you fight me.

There's this white cheddar flavour mac and cheese and the store brand where I am is much better than the Kraft version.

There might be a bit of nostalgia though for me as it was one of the go-to "quick and easy" meals my mom would make for us as a kid.

In Canada, Loblaws has a no name brand kd called deluxe white cheddar that is hands down the best Mac and cheese, Kraft white cheese always comes out bland and watery no matter how little milk I add.

It's as expensive as Kraft though, I think? Or barely any cheaper. President's Choice stuff is sometimes more expensive than name brands, too.

I honestly couldn't tell you my girlfriend does all the superstore shopping, I think shoppers has it slightly cheaper if you can find it. I also don't mind paying 20 extra cents for superior Mac and cheese.

That's literally the brand I was referring to, haha. I haven't actually bought it in a while though, since for several years the closest Loblaws store was too far away.

I'm now closer to one, but still haven't picked any up. Haven't timed any of my visits with when it's on discount, and otherwise it's around the same price as KD. Haven't been eating much of that sort of food anyways.
