Default Sandra's Money Saving Meals: Feeding a Crowd

I am really ambivalent about this show. On the one hand, there is the comical value of talking out both sides of her mouth
with this and Semi-Ho - with each one contradicting the other. So, she ends up always lying to one group or the other. Then
there is the comical value of her constant wonderment that, oh my gosh, when you make things from scratch, it is usually
cheaper than when you use packaged pre-chopped/sliced/grated/shredded/cooked/..... ingredients! Such a revelation! But stop
trying to take credit for that.

On the other hand, now that she has ditched the seasoning packets & Cool Whip and is making things from scratch, there are
actually some things that look like they might be good.

I have blasphemed.
