this is what you get when you have 1 dollar bill and 12 quarters.

ok, yes, i had a debit card. but it is a little mad at me because i use it too much and never let it rest (kind of like my mouth. i don't mean that in a perverted way, i mean it in a it doesn't shut up way. and also maybe a perverted way...) anywho- i didn't want to use my card because i was a smidgen concerned about the balance in my checking account. what? if i don't look at it, the problem doesn't exist. yes, i realize i am a bookkeeper. do you think porn stars want to have sex on their nights off? well same concept. i don't care for keeping books in my free time.

the point is...i am fat. and broke. so, i ran to the grocery store to get some lunch that was cheap and not pizza. and this is what i got:

you can't see the whole box- sorry, i wasn't really sure where i was going with this when i took the pic...it is lean cuisine mac and cheese. numnum, right? WRONG.

this is what it really looks like:

and it tastes like plastic.

morals of this story:

balance your checkbook, have more money, don't get fat, stick with kraft, and don't ignore your blog or you feel like a giant asshole with nothing to say when you finally decide to post something.

The truth is out - you use your mouth and you get sparkles... I don't and I have none ;) hehe kidding of course!

Ugh I could have warned you about that mess - I made the SAME mistake! It's worse than say "cafeteria mac n' cheese". However for some reason I can eat their container that has brocolli n' mac it's not so bad with veggies mixed in. What kind of universe is this that mac is made BETTER with veggies???

SurferWife said...

oh yeah. Those frozen macs and cheeses are the equivalent of asshole.

And I totally know what you mean by if you don't see it, it's not there. I am queen of that.

gross.

Snuggle Wasteland said...

Yeah, that stuff is gross. The Kraft kind isn't that expensive either.

Tara said...

kraft spirals are where its at! also probably half as much as this lean cuisine! bad decision, jess.

Hutch said...

If I had known, I definitely would have stopped you. That stuff tastes like crap. See, this is why you need to be more bloggy and twatty. We can HELP you.

Oh God I've missed you!

Favorite blog post of the day!!

Beckles said...

Next time I'd go for the Kraft if it's possible. It's cheaper, too. Plus it comes in shapes, so that's a bonus.

I do love my Lean Cuisine, but you MUST steer clear of the mac and cheese. Next time? Lasagna. Trust me, friend.

Salt said...

Normally Lean Cuisines are a win for me, but I do know from experience that their mac and cheese tastes like total crap. It was so bad the one time that I got it that I added ketchup to try to salvage my lunch. It actually worked a little...not that I'd ever recommend buying it again so you can try it out.

Amanda said...

I feel the same way about my own checkbook. And also bills...if they come in and I don't open them, I don't have to pay...right?

I try to stay away from any of those meals..they always disappoint.

foxy said...

You're back! Even if just to talk about crap mac and cheese! Yeah, those are the worst. If i get lean cuisine, i have to stick with what i know i like... the lasagna is okay.

~KS said...

My credit cards hate me. HATE. And I've tried the frozen mac stuff before and yeah. Not yummy.

Katie said...

I like to call myself a mac'n'cheese expert, but that stuff is the worst ever. I tried it a couple months ago, and even dousing it with more salt and pepper, the taste wouldn't get better than the plastic you're referring to.
PS - Easy Mac is cheaper and MUCH better than this thing. :-)

blueviolet said...

What's wrong with me then because I LOVE that Lean Cuisine mac and cheese!

Nonners said...

That does look like disappointing mac & cheese. Bad mac & cheese is a rarity, I feel. Way to go Lean Cuisine, you've achieved a thing!

Also, LOLerskates @ " and also maybe a perverted way..."

Sara said...

Lean Cuisine tastes like mangled squirrel colon.

I'm sorry you had to go through that.
