    $200 for 240 servings. That isn’t even a good deal. A box of Kraft is a buck and contains 2.5 servings per box.

    If you buy this bucket, it’ll cost you approx 83¢ per serving. Kraft is 40¢ per serving. So if you want an assload of mac and cheese, it’s more economical to just buy 96 boxes of Kraft instead and save yourself $144.

      You cant go by “serving sizes” to compare things like that, because serving sizes are fairly arbitrary and can are likely measured differently between products. You’d have to compare by net weight.

      This lists the net weight as 27.1 pounds, or about 433 ozs. A box of kraft is 7.5 oz net weight, or in other words it’s almost 58 total boxes of craft Mac and cheese. Which makes things way more in Kraft’s favor.

      I think you made a mistype there. A box of KD contains exactly one serving. No more, no less, and I refuse to countenance any further discussion on the matter, thank you sir, madam, or else-wise!

      Also I didn’t factor in the fact that Kraft requires butter, while this stuff might not. Even then, I’m still confident that this bucket is a bad deal.

      It says that 3 servings have 660 calories. So if you want to make an actual meal out of this, you need at least 3 servings. That makes it even less of a good deal.
