What is amazing is how little the cost of this concoction has increased in the
twenty-seven years since this was posted. While things like house prices,
college tuition have gone crazy, canned tuna and canned mushroom prices
have hardly budged, and off brand boxed mac&cheese is still 50 cents or less.

This is great news for those of you who eat nasty casseroles like tuna-noodle,
as noodle prices have also risen only slightly, though that jarred "mayo" crap
you slop in has risen far more.
