Funny....younger generation has discovered mac and cheese! What a memory jogger! Times were really tough in the early 80's when the kids were young. Luckily they both loved "yellow noodles"! My DH's brother worked at a grocery store, and often would get the blue boxes for next to nothing, or free if they were out of date. I felt guilty feeding them that everyday, but they really liked it, and by doing that we were able to stretch those food dollars. Today I still make it, but add additional cheese, milk/buttermilk, butter what ever is handy.
