My husband has been wanting to cook this for the blog for as long as I can remember!
   $  2.00    Hamburger Helper...  Then he always says, "Doesn't need any help to me!"
   $  0.39    1 1/3cup milk  a gallon of organic milk cost me $6.29
   $  3.56    1 lb 90/10 beef 

   $  5.99 for corn!  WHAT! is that right?!?  Did I pay that much?!?  Crap, this challenge is tough.

 TOTAL!!  $11.94

For the record, the phrase is "Don't know why they call this hamburger helper. It does just fine by itself."

You got ripped off on the corn :) but on the positive side, you reminded me how yummy Hamburger Helper actually is. Brings back all those memories from poor college days....
I want it known that I could have just not included the corn, but I put it on there...with the actual price.
I do think I am going back to the store and check on this price though!! WOW!
You know - I used to work on Hamburger Helper back in my MN days. I have eaten way more of it than I'd think humanly possible, but there were some scientists that spent their ENTIRE career on Helpers. As in ate it multiple times a day for 20 years. I had to eat it almost daily when pregnant with Little Mister which is pretty much torture to a pregnant woman. Especially when you have to eat it at 9:00 am. Ugh.
Too funny! Yep, I'd hate for you to really wow us in the first week, so pace yourself! I think I have subconsciously removed hamburger helper from my memory (until now) ... I overdosed on the stuff as a kid and in college and can't seem to eat it anymore. I feel a little guilty now that I'm denying my little girl this great childhood experience of hamburger helper. Maybe I need to give it another shot!
