He said "Hamburger helper and the like are very expensive when you
factor in how little you get aqt that inflated price... you pay for that
small can" and "Hamburger Helper and other products of that ilk are much
more a convenience, good to have a couple cans for when one doesn't feel
like cooking and/or hasn't the time."

Then he went on to talk about the grandkids preferring Mac & Cheese in a
microwaveable cup.
