Apparently they have a "dry" version of their mac and cheese out, sort of like the Kraft mac and cheese in a box. It comes with its own cheese pouch, so you don't have to add milk to it. It's supposed to be new and according to the review, it's also supposed to be very good. I just haven't found it yet. I was wondering if anyone here had tried it.
 
I've never seen it. I buy the single serving cups.

I really liked the taste-the cheese sauce is rich, and the pasta is just right: not too soft and not too hard. Plus, they fill you up well, so you can eat without spending too much time cooking.

Where did you find the cups? I've never seen those.

I haven’t seen it yet but at $3.99 I’ll probably stick with the frozen version unless I have a double coupon.

Those boxes look like they make a lot of macaroni and cheese and right now, the small frozen dinner of Stouffer's man and cheese is going for $3.99. I'd like to get the boxes simply because of how small my freezer is. It would be one less thing to have in the freezer.

I just went to the grocery store yesterday and I'm still playing Jenga with everything in the fridge and freezer. I have to eat my frozen food so I can fit in the hamburger and other meats I got, which are still in the fridge tonight. I'm not looking forward to bagging all that meat and trying to figure out how to stack it so it'll stay put when I open the freezer door.

Not every grocery store/chain carries them. I get them at Kroger, but even there, they don't always have them. When I see them, I buy a bunch to keep in the freezer. They are perfect for my "grazing" days.

That's a good idea. I need to find (or make) some boxes that perfectly fit my freezer shelves, so when I am looking for something, I can pull one box at a time out of the freezer and search it while it is sitting on a countertop. Nothing ends up on the floor.

The $tore has plastic dishpans that would be a good option in a full size freezer.

I use a smaller plastic shoebox without the lid in my refrigerator’s freezer compartment.
 
So, I guess I'm not the only one who has freezer avalanches. I have to serious consider finding some sort of box that would work temporarily. Since I can't find a lot of the stuff in my freezer, I end up buying more and have doubles and maybe triples of some things. With one or two boxes, that don't have to fit perfectly in the first iteration, I might be able to find the stuff, so that I can actually start getting that freezer emptied or, you know, at least not stuffed.
 
I use an ice cube bin(s) something like this for little things (bottle/packets of yeast, etc.). And started bags of stuff (nuts, chocolate chips, veggies, etc.).

I do the same, I had/have various size plastic bins. When I had my full upright I had bins labeled Chicken, soups, Vegies, Seafoods, Pork, etc. Still had stuff all over the place and yeah, sometime falling out. It's even more difficult now as I have only 2 shelves in an upright, DIL has the rest. I still have bins but they usually get mixed up as I search for space.
Other day I found a pork tenderloin I didn't remember. I also know I have 1 or even 3 bags of ricotta in there... and I can't seem to find them.

Welcome to my life, in terms of hunting for frozen items in the freezer. There are a number of things I know are somewhere in there. The one that is annoying me most at the moment is that one pound bag of cooked, shelled, shrimp (Caravelle brand, from the Saint-Lawrence estuary). I've only used one small portion. :angry:
 
For some peculiear reason the frozen shrimp have always gone on the door racks. No particular reason, I go thru them quickly because either a) I love shrimp or b) they fall into my hand and just stay there and become supper.
 
I thought about putting a small box into the freezer to contain the chicken breasts and other small meat packages, but my freezer is too small for that. So what I do is stack stuff like the hamburger and take anything in boxes out, then stuff the chicken breasts around the corners of food. Of course, when I need something, I have to empty out half the freezer to find it.

Same thing with my pantry. Just trying to find the honey last night and the corn starch tonight was a major battle.
