I talked about the last post where I have had no energy this winter to go to the store unless I absolutely needed to. In this post I am going to talk about another two offers I saw that I missed out on that would have been nice to obtain. Since my blood sugar has been running too high, I’ve had to cut way back on my mac and cheese consumption. Sad but true. I used to tend to overbuy when it comes to mac and cheese, because, well, it’s mac and cheese. It keeps. With the whole cutting back thing, I have a few more boxes than I should have on the shelves, so I was less than motivated to get out the door and buy more, free or not.
The first offer was an opportunity for cheap Kraft at Walmart through the Shopkick app. The offer was for 250 kicks back when you redeemed the offer for either the Kraft Ranch or Kraft Jalapeno mac and cheese. 250 kicks is about a dollar, so the product would have been less than a dollar after redemption depending on local store price.
The second offer was an opportunity for better than free Goodles Deluxe Mac and Cheese at Target with Ibotta and Social Nature. Goodles has better nutritional statistics than Kraft, plus it was slightly better than free so I should have raced out the door since it is a higher-priced product than Kraft’s Deluxe version. However, a higher protein content, more fiber content, and less sugar still didn’t entice me enough to leave the condo. No use crying in my soup. Offers come and go frequently. Hopefully, the trend continues.

Now we are to the part of the post where I search for a recipe to spruce up mac and cheese since I missed out on those two offers. I came across this Lobster Mac and Cheese Casserole on the Better Homes and Gardens website that looks pretty quick. The noodles could be swapped out for a low-carb version, if needed. The lobster could be swapped out for a cheaper imitation lobster if you don’t live on the coast like me. Real lobster is more expensive if it’s not on sale around where I live in IL, so I’ll settle for the imitation version most likely. My husband probably wouldn’t eat the lobster anyway, so I would have to put whatever version I buy off to the side and throw it in when I take the portion I eat.
