    • Muffins/Swiss rolls - depends on how much it is but I get it being a quick comfort food. However, check if there’s a bakery of some kind (including
      Chinese / Latino bakeries) near you. It’s nearly as cheap or cheaper and much fresher. Good bread there too.
    • Pasta sauce: my wife actually just makes a Alfredo sauce from scratch and it seems to be just a bit more complicated than Mac and cheese sauce. Flour, milk, and cheese. Probably a lot more cost effective.
    • Instead of a red tomato sauce I would buy diced tomatoes ( or those fire riasted ones) and dump them over noodles. It tastes better than the bottled red sauce.
    • Mac and cheese: see above - but also, if you’re going to get it, get the box. The single serve things are worse than the generic box Mac.
      -froze spinach is great. Try throwing that in whatever you’re cooking. Never goes bad. Already bite sized.
      -Also, you gotta report that grocery store. Cats are friends not food.
